NEW YORK, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 1849.
Concerning the growing crop of Cotton, we have the usual,
and even more than the usual contradiction of accounts. The
rains which in Louisiana and Alabama are represented to have
greatly injured the plant, in Georgia are said to have benefitted
it. As, however, it must in any event be a late crop, the pro-
babilities are against it being a large one.
The quotations by the Europa gave a further impulse, at an
advanced price to operations in this staple.
We are assured that telegraphic despatches were received to-
day from Mobile and Charleston, giving the following quota-
tions :
Middling Cotton, 104 c Mobile; fair do.;_ 12c Charleston. The
apprehension of injury from the effect of the heavy rains which
had been falling, had occasioned this advance.
The previous quotations were from Mobile, 23rd instant, for
middling Cotton Sic' and from Charleston the highest quota-
tions on 26th instant were 10c:

Ia Breadstuffs very little doing. The Wheat crop will be
large, notwithstanding partial damage from rust, and recent
rains have greatly benefitted the growing crop of Indian Corn.
The general harvest, there seems no reason to doubt, will be
abundant. _ _ _

The early Potatoes in this region are dug out or digging, and
neither among them nor among the vines of the latter planta-
tion do we hear as yet of any appearance of rust.
CorroN.—The sales of the day amount to fully 3500 bales, at
very full prices, malting since the sa►ling of the Niagara on the
24th instant, 13,800 bales. The advance during the period is
id. on the lower, and id. on the better qualities. We continue
our quotations of yesterday, although it is very difficult to pur-
chase at them.

ROME.

Letters from Rome of the 7th instant state that the
agitation produced in the city by the first acts of the
Pontifical Commission was very great and was spreading
to the provinces. The decree diminishing the value of
the paper money was so unpopular, that it was thought
that, if not recalled, it would produce disturbances.
The French diplomatists have completely failed in ob-
taining terms from his Holiness; and the cardinals who
surround him show a decided determination to carry their
victory to its utmost limits.
The Pope still refuses to return to Rome so long as that
city remains in the exclusive possession of the French
troops. It was said that his Holiness had expressed a
wish that the French army should retire and leave the
protection of his person and capital to the Spanish troops
under General Cordova ; but that he said that, in the
event of this not being agreed to, he should be satisfied if
the garrison of Rome should consist of French, Austrian,
Neapolitan, and Spanish troops, in equal numbers ; but
he adds the condition that the whole of the foreign troops
remaining in Rome, of whatever nation, should wear the
cockade of the Pope.
The Pope, it appears, will visit Naples, Loretto, and
Bologna, in which latter place he will take up his resi-
dence for a time. The French troops are to go to Albano,
where the Pope is to thank them. Rome continues in a
state of great agitation. A portion of the Jesuits' College
has been destroyed by the hands of an incendiary. The
Government Commission of the three Cardinals has ap-
pointed the following ministers :—Bishop Savelli, Interior
and Police; the Advocate Giansanti, Justice; M. Galli,
Finances. All the ministers who served under Rossi refused
to accept office unless the constitution was guaranteed.
The Tuscan papers state that it is the intention of the
Pope to hold a Consistory at Gaeta, in which he will
abolish the Roman constitution, and apppoint a consults,
having a deliberative voice in the affairs of the Interior
and the Finances, but not on other matters.
