at fraud. The bill, which is now the law of the land, will
doubtless be carefully scanned by parties interested there-

" The Warehousing Bill is still pending in the House of
Representatives, and will probably be passed. It admits
all sorts of goods in the warehouse with full liberty to
transfer them from one port to another port, under the
Custom House surveillance and to enter them, or any
part of them, at any time within the year—the limit of
the privilege of warehousing—either for consumption or
exportation.
" The bill to anthorise the issue of Treasury notes to
the extent of ten millions, and to keep ten millions always
afloat, is now the law, and the committee of the Senate
have asked for an unlimited authority to the Treasury to
issue notes, as indispensable to the wants of the Govern-
ment. This authority, however, was refused, but it is
certain that a further issue of Treasury notes, or resort to
a loan, will be unavoidable, under the increasing war ex-
penditures, and for a time certainly decreasing revenue
from the Customs.
" Congress have agreed to adjourn on the 10th of Au-
gust, so that no new resolutions are likely to be intro-
duced. They would have named an earlier day, but for
the expectation that by the steamer which left Liverpool
on the 16th instant, the Oregon treaty duly ratified will
be returned and Congress will then at once proceed to
pass such laws as may be needful to give it full effect on
our side.
" There has been a good deal of curiosity to know the
object of a visit of two British naval officers to General
Taylor, at Matamoras—but as yet nothing has transpired
concerning it. They landed from H. M. ship Rose, from

compete successfully with the Baltic. For railroad pur-

The letters per Great Britain reached town on Friday,
the 24th instant, since when no transactions of importance
have taken place, holders of the best shipping brands still
refusing to offer their stocks at the market rates, although
shippers evince a moderate desire to operate. The limited
transactions which occurred previous to the arrival of the
Great Britain, were effected at the following rates :

FLOUR.—Shipping parcels of " fine," at-215.. " extra
fine," 21s. 6d., and " superfine," at 225. to 225. lld. ;
second rate and mixed lots of " fine" finding at the same
time purchasers for consumption, at 20s. to 203. 3d. per
barrel.

WHEAT.—Very little offering. Samples of good mid-
dling U. C. have been placed at 4s. to 4s. 3d., and a su-
perior lot of about 5000 bushels at 4s. sd. per 601 b.
ASHES.—Good shipping parcels have changed bands at
2ls. 6d. to 21s. 9d. for pots, and pearls at 20s. 104 d. per
cwt. ; the demand for the former being good and the latter
dull. Small bills sell at 3d. to 6d. under these respective
rates.

" Gen. Santa Ana and Gen. Almonte, at the latest
dates from Havana, (20th inst.) still remained there, and
the expectation that these officers contemplated any pre-
sent departure for the coast of Mexico, seemed aban-
doned.
THE MORMON EMIGRATION.—We quote the following
information respecting this strange community from the
St. Louis Republican of July 15.—The Hancock Eagle,
of Friday last, notices the arrival there of Mr. S. Cham-
berlain, who left the most distant camp of the Mormons
at Council Bluffs, on the 26th ult., and on his route passed
the whole line of Mormon emigrants. He says that the
advance company of the Mormons, with whom were " the
twelve," had a train of one thousand wagons, and were
encamped on the east bank of the Missouri River, in the
neighbourhood of the Council Bluffs. They were em-
ployed in the construction of boats, for the purpose of
crossing the river. The second company had encamped
temporarily at station No. 2, which has been christened
Mount Pisgah. They mustered about three thousand —,,,--_
