however, the accounts by the last Overland Mail are most
unsatisfactory. From Bombay it is stated that "an in-
quiry stil, exists for grey jacconets, but it has not produced
any improvement in prices, and with termination of the
season, we may expect that it will cease. There is not the
slightest demand for any other goods, and dealers will
take only of a few descriptions when tempted by the ex-
treme cheapness. Woollens continue neglected as before,
not a single sale that we are aware of having been effected."
In Calcutta there is little change to note.

Our Corn mtu kets during the week have only been kept
from a serious decline by apprehensions of the effect of
broken weather upon the grain crops. The seasonable
change of the last few days must tend to dispel such ap-
prehensions, and to bring prices down to a reasnable
The arrivals, too, continue to be heavy both from Europe
and the United States ; and from the latter quarter are
likely to be to an extent, after the getting in of harvest,
as to bring prices below the point at which they will pay
the British farmer. The New York Morning Herald,
received by the Henry Clay, says of the prospect of our
American supply :

" The receipts of produce, via the Erie canal and Hudson
river, have, since the resumption of canal navigation, been
immense, exceeding those for any former year, without regard
to time. The opening of the lakes and canals this year was un-
usually late, notwithstanding which, the supplies, up to the Ist
instant, were nearly double to those of the same date last year.
The surplus of the western country, of last year's crops, has
hardly commenced coming forward yet. The annexed table,
showing the receipts at Buffalo and at Tide Water, gives us the
quantity received from this state :
Receipts of Produce to June 1, 1847.

A large portion of the wheat received at buffalo has no doubt
been manufactured into flour in this state. More than 700,000
bushels of corn have_ been shipped to Tide Water from .the

show that the west has not commenced sending forward t
immense quantity of that grain there must be on hand. T
shipments of produce from the valley of the Mississippi th

yea'r have been nearly double those of last, as will be seen ou
reference to the receipts at New Orleans. The receipts at Cin-
cinnati and St. Louis have been about double those of last year,
and there is every indication of the receipts continuing through-

out the season in the same ratio. The growing crops are in a
very promising condition. A greater breadth of land has been
cultivated this season than ever before known in the history of
the country. As an evidence of the movement in this vicinity
we will give an instance. On Long Island, within two miles of
the Brooklyn ferry, there is a lot of scarcely five acres, having
a fine growth of corn on it, which has heretofore been running
to commons. In New Jersey, it is estimated that 100,000 acres
of land have been put in cnitivatiou this season, over and above
the quantity cultivated last year. The same spirit that has in-
fluenced the efforts of farmers in this vicinity has spread all
through the country, and with favourable weather we shall have
enormous crops. Breadstuffs will be low enough in a few
weeks to satisfy all classes of consumers."

There appears, moreover, little doubt that our dollar-
loving brother Jonathan is quite disposed to stint him-
self, and be content to eat a coarser kind of food than
wheaten bread, so long as Europe offers him profitable
markets. It is stated on the authority of private letters,
received per Henry Clay that, to pay for our farther ex-
clusive importations the drain for specie is expected to
recommence in August : and that, besides breadstuffs, we
have got a large quantity of cotton to receive, which has
been held back for high prices.
A petition to Parliament, praying for an alteration in
the law restricting the Bank of England from issuing
paper against silver bullion, is in course of signature in the
City. The remedy proposed against a crisis like the pre-
sent is to lodge a dispensing power in the hands of Go-
vernment to allow the Bank, in case of emergency, to
issue notes without reference to its stock of bullion.

their utmost to bring to the seaboard the surplus of the interior.
Already we have received flour and wheat, reducing it to flour,
near 270,000 barrels more than in any preceding year at this
time ; and of Indian corn an excess of one million bushels ; and
this will go on.

OBJECTS OF PROTESTANTS.

The Rev. John Dodson, vicar of Cockerham, near Lan-
caster, thus concludes an admirable letter to the Lancaster
Gazette, on the subject of the approaching election :

from the wrath of a jealous God, and from the unquench-
