FOREIGN 6, COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. I

UNITED STATES

We find, from the papers brought by the Caledonia,
which arrived on Wednesday, that the grain harvests were
said to be unusually abundant; and the quantity of grain
and flour ready for exportation was still very large.
We learn from private sources that the prospects of the

THE MEXICAN WAR.—Neither the American army
under General Taylor nor that under General Scott, has
made any forward movement since the last advices. The
army of Gen. Taylor remains at Monterey, too weak in
numbers to effect anything, and without the slightest
prospect of being able to advance towards the central pro-
vinces of Mexico, within any reasonable time, or indeed at
any time that can be named. For any effect that it is
likely to produce on the fortunes of the war, it might just
as well be on the Canadian frontier. The army of Gen.
Scott is considerably nearer the point where the struggle
must be decided, but it seems to be greatly deficient in the
number of troops, and other resources for bringing the
war to a speedy close. So far from having advanced to
the city of Mexico, it had not left Puebla up to the last
advices ' • the disbanding of the volunteers having left Ge-
neral Scott with not more than from 5000 to 6000 men.
This force was expected to be increased shortly to 9,000
or 10,000 men, but the delay had revived the confidence
of the Mexicans to such an extent as to render 10,000 men
less formidable now than 5000 would have been imme-
diately after the victory of Cerro Gordo. There is every
reason to expect that the Mexicans will fight another bat-
tle between Puebla and the city of Mexico, and though the
probability is that they will be beaten, yet every day's
delay diminishes the impression produced by their ad-
vance, and familiarises the Mexicans with the war. Delay
is the policy of the Mexicans, and the conduct of Presi-
dent Polk's government in leaving Gen. Scott in the heart
of Mexico, for so long a time, without sufficient means of
following up his successes, enables the Mexicans to play
that game with ease and comparative safety. Santa Anna
had reassumed the presidency, and had received powers
equal to those of a dictator.
COMMERCIAL, NEW YORK, JULY 15.—The business of
the country continues to be flourishing, healthy, and pro-
mising. From all parts of the country the grain harvests
promise unprecedented abundance. In the more southern
of the wheat-growing states the grain has been already
gathered, and the crop proves to be more than an average ;
and in no section of the Union is there any apprehension
of a deficiency. The supply of flour, wheat, and corn, ar-
riving at the tide-water through the canals of this state, is
large beyond all precedent. The receipts up to the first
week in July of flour this year were 1,578,170 barrels,
being 513,808 over those of the last year ; of wheat the re-
ceipts were 1,823,147 bushels, 1,440,210 more than last
year, and of corn there has been an increase of 1,153,697
bushels ; the whole amount received last year up to the
same time being only 593,334 bushels. Reducing the
wheat to flour, there is an excess of 871,846 barrels over
the receipts of? the corresponding period last year. The
receipts of corn, so far, a period of 68 days of navigation,
exceed the receipts of last year by 1,139,882 bushels.
The foreign export has been large ; the quantity shipped
for Europe within the last ten days having indeed been
larger than that of any similar period in any previous year,
though its measures is not in proportion, perhaps, to the in-
crease of receipts. The large receivers, as a general thing,
prefer to trust a foreign market to selling at rates current
here. In the money market there has been no change of
marked importance. There nas been but little variation
in the price of leading securities, and the transactions
have been comparatively limited. The market has been
firm, except for, Treasury Notes and United States' Loans,
generally, which have declined somewhat in consequence
of the recent accounts from Mexico noticed elsewhere. The
. extreme heat of the season, and the consequent absence
from town of nearly all the largest dealers, has also con-
tributed greatly to the curtailment of recent transactions.
Speculative stocks, for the same season, have also de-
clined.

CANADA.
MONTREAL, JULY 15.—Ministers have maintained a
majority varying from 2 to 7. They have introduced a
College bill, by which it is proposed to distribute an en-
dowment amounting to £lO,OOO a-year among four col-
leges—one for each of these sects—Episcopalians, Pres-
byterians, Wesleyans, and Roman Catholics. It was also
proposed to distribute £2,500 annually among grammar
schools.—Sickness among the emigrants continued una-
bated, and the means of grappling with it were, with the
best will, inadequate.

SOUTH AMERICA.
By the packet-ship Express, which arrived on Thursday
night, we have dates from Rio de Janeiro to June 3 ;
Bahia, June 14 ; and Pernambuco, June 22. The Griffon
had arrived at Rio de Janeiro on the 28th of May, with
the Buenos Ayrean and Monte Videan mails, having sailed
from the former on the 15th, and the latter on the 19th
of May. On the 9th of May the French minister, and on
the following day the English, accompanied by Sir T.
Herbert; landed at Buenos Ayes, and were well received
by Rosas, at a private interview. On the 16th of May
Sir T. Herbert arrived at Monte Video, in the Firebrand
steamer, to propose an armistice, between the troops of
Oribe and the garrison of Monte Video, whilst negocia-
tions were pending, which were agreed to • and in conse-
quence thereof it was supposed the blockade would be
raised. The ships of war in the river were Raleigh, Eagle,
Melampus, Satellite, Racer, Firebrand, Alecto, Lizard,
Harpy, Victoria, Tender, and Rattler. From the Brazils
there is nothing of importance, save that a change of
Ministry had taken place, and was generally considered
to be very firm. There appeared to be every inclination
to make a treaty in amity, but a very strong feeling existed
against a commercial one.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS.

THE TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY.—This important line,
which will confer very great advantages on the merchants
of Liverpool, Manchester, and the North, is, it is stated,
to be opened for traffic on the Ist of September.
From official returns it appears that the amount of
traffic for the last week on upwards of 3,154 miles of rail-
way, was £188,824, thus accounted for :—£108,606 for
the conveyance of passengers only, £40,476 for the carri-
age of goods, and a remainder of £39,742 for passengers
and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being
an increase of £16,175 over the corresponding week of
last year, when the mileage was about 2,290.
Parliamentary elections of Railway Members are the
events of the week, and nearly the only events important
to railway readers. Mr. W. Cubitt is returned for An-
dover ; Mr. Locke for Honiton ; Mr. Peto for Norwich ;
Mr. R. C. Hildyard, the railway barrister, for White-
haven ; Mr. Glyn for Kendal ; Mr. Jackson for New-
castle-under-Lyne ; Mr. Mangles for Guildford ; Mr.
Ricardo for Stoke-on-Trent ; Sir J. Walmsley for Lei-
cester ; Mr. Chaplin for Salisbury.
TELEGRAPHING FOR WITNESSES.—III a case tried
last Thursday, at York assizes, Mr. Ellison, of Tickhill,
the attorney for the plaintiff, in order to secure witnesses
in time, went to the railway station, at York, and had
recourse to the electric telegraph. He there gave direc-
tions for a messenger and conveyance to be sent immedi-
ately from the Masbro' station to Tickhill. In the
course of ten minutes he received an answer, statinc, that
a cab was then getting ready, and the plaintiff and the
witnesses arrived in York the same evening. By the
usual means they could not have reached York until half-
past eleven the following morning.—Doncaster Gazette.

SPAIN.
We learn from Madrid journals of the 23d ult. that ap-
prehensions of a Carlist rising were becoming general, and
it was said that the army on its return from Portugal was
to be sent into Catalonia. A rumour prevailed that the
British Government had interfered respecting the security
offered for the new loan, saying that the security was al-
ready pledged to British creditors whose claims must be
respected.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 24th ult., state that the
Progressistas had succeeded in returning about one-third
of the members of the provincial deputations. M. Sala-
manca had left in the morning for La Graja, with General
Fernando Cordova.

By an accidental explosion in the arsenal at Rochefort,
on the 21st. instant, thirteen persons were killed and four
dreadfully wounded, of whom one has since died.
SILESIA, July 14.-Well-informed persons are of
opinion that within a month the price of corn will sink
more than fifty per cent.
The English residents at Shanghai have resolved to
erect a church, which will be the first Protestant place of
worship ever built within the dominions of the Emperor
of China.

WISE.—The King of Bavaria has given strict orders to
the proper authorities to watch that no speculator shall
attempt to buy up the new corn beforehand, in order to
keep up the prices.
An association has been set on foot at Rome, under the
name of The Oriental Society for the Union of all
Christians in the East, to be supported by voluntary con-
tributions. A central board has been formed at Rome,
and sub-committees are to be organised in every place to
which the operations of the society may extend. The
former has the head of the Propaganda for its ex-officio
chairman.

PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN LEAVING THE COUN-
TRY.—The estate of the late Joseph Buonaparte has been
sold for 20,500 dollars to Mr. Richards, of Philadelphia.
The buildings alone originally cost more than 60,000 dol-
lars ! The paintings and statues were on the average sold
under half price. The only painting that has been sent
to Europe is " Napoleon's Expedition over the Alps," by
David, for which the proprietors asked 6000 dollars.
The Courrier de Marseille gives the following letter

speech may probably have done something for the bond-

home but throughout the world, and thus tended to keep
up that notoriety of degradation which is now connected
with the Spanish name, and to the desire of escaping
from which, and not to any sense of honesty, the credi-
tors will owe the final satisfaction of their rights. But as
to any actual resort to war on the question, there is not a
man in England—at least, not one who is cognisant of

with an attempt to show the evil effect of such measures
upon the social condition of the country, as well as point-

responding, at the present moment, to the demand that
is made for the repayment of the monies advanced by

To the people he spoke of her as their mother. It is now
well known everywhere that, carried away by an extraor-
dinary sentiment of devotion and love for Mary, he pro-
nounced an eulogium upon her in the presence of more
than one hundred thousand persons, Catholics and Pro-
testants. The multitude wrapt in delight hung upon his
lips. They felt as if they heard some Doctor or Father of
the church enumerating the glories and sounding the
praises of the mother of God. After the celebrated speech
which was to open the doors of parliament to the Catho-
lics, and when the most famous orators of the day were
becoming excited in that debate, in the awful moment
on which depended the liberty or slavery of Ireland,
O'Connell retired in a corner of the apartment, busied
himself in reciting the Rosary in honour of the Virgin that
overcomes all heresies (cunctas hereses intermisti in uni-
verso mundo). Ah, it was because he placed the great
cause of emancipation under the guardianship of our great
lady—it was because of her protection more than on ac-
count of his own efforts he attained success ; and when he
had attained it, to her he atfributed all the glory." Aye
to her. With Rome all is creature. It was different in
the ancient time. It wasn't unto saints or angels glory
was given then : it wasn't unto saints or angels men
turned aside to pray ; nor was it to saints or angels they
looked for the destruction of " all heresies." One other
sentence, for the edification of our readers, we extract :
" Never did he present himself at court without having a
Catholic priest near him ; he always wished to have him
by his side."

NEW TRAINING COLLEGE FOR SOUTH WALES.—The
foundation-stone of a new school for the education of
children in the principles of the Church of England, was
laid at Carmarthen on the 16th ult., by the Bishop of St.
David's. About 5000 persons were present on the inte-

Mayor and Corporation, the Druids' and Oddfellows'
Societies, &c., with an excellent band of music, was ex-
tremely splendid. It is most gratifying to witness the
progress of the Church, and the interest taken in the
scriptural education of the poor, among all classes in the
Principality.

itOMANISM AND LIBERTY.-The Rev. Hugh Stowell
delivered last week, at Preston, an excellent lecture on
the painting of " The Acquittal of the Seven Bishops," in
the course of which he made the following• remarks,:—
" To think that Romanism was the friend of liberty-, was
to•expect to hear the wolf pray for mercy,. or for the owl
to prefer the light of day to the darkness of night. Who
ever heard tell of Rome offering to endow a Protestant
priesthood? Who ever heard tell of Rome issuing her
bulls to.expunge from her statutes laws because they were
repugnant or obnoxious to Protestant feeling ? That
Rome which was the mother of despotism, and mother of
harlots. What did the Church of England say of the
mass ?—that it was a thing to be abominated' by all

Christian men. But they had got into such silky glazing
days, and he knew not how much absurd circumlocution
in their speech, that nothing was called by its right name.
The devil was called the Prince of Darkness, instead of the
Father of Lies. He had too much respect for the freedom
of conscience of others, to ask a man what his Shibboleth
might be, but it really did make him sick and sad to see
that trimming Conservatism so much in vogue at the pre-
sent day. What they wanted in parliament was a band of
right and true-hearted Protestants, to oppose all the fur-
ther encroachments of Popery, which was ever the same.
It was the same to-day as it was a century ago. Mr. Sheil
upon many measures had been silenced by a seat in the
cabinet ; but no sooner did Mr. Watson introduce his
bill, than the thunders of his eloquence were again heard
within the walls of St. Stephen's ! They wanted such
men as good Sir Robert Inglis, and Pemberton, and
Spooner, to stand by the Protestant faith. They wanted

no trimming and truckling statesmen to betray it. One
hundred true Protestants—Protestants not merely because
they asserted they were so with their lips, but whose lives
were a pledge that they were so—in parliament, and the
encroachments of Rome would be for ever checked
Rome knew how to bend, like - • '

ing of the country, and by the blessing of God it should
never be allowed to slumber again. (Loud cheers.) He
trusted that the Protestant religion, as bequeathed to
them by their fathers, That the Pope of Rome hath not,
