It is stated that the U. S. ship of the line of Pennsyl-
vania, 120 guns, and the North Carolina and Ohio, rated
as 74's, but each carrying 100 guns, are ordered to be
fitted immediately for sea; but what is to be their desti-
nation is as yet a secret of the administration.
Great activity is apparent in the navy yard; but for
what purpose is unknown. The usual bluster as to the
President's intentions towards Europe, of course, we do
not listen to.
Gen. Taylor is expected to be' on his march to Mon-
terey, at the head of an army of 12,000 men, and is said
will meet with no resistance until he arrives at the gates
of Mexico.

Col. Kearney is pushing for Santa Fe, which is being
strongly fortified by the Mexicans. The force conctn-

trated there will number 8,000 to 10,000 men, under the
command of Gen. Wood, who, alter overrunning New

Mexico, will join his forces with t

and march for the capital. Nothing, the Americans
think, can save Mexico.
The Ratification, by America, of the Oregon treaty ap-
pears t 3 have given great satisfaction. The new tariff is
in a very doubtful position. It is said, however. that no
material alteration will take place in the present year,
the expenses of the war affrighting the statesmen of Ame-
rica.

The Mormons, preparing to depart from Nauvoo for
more western settlements, are threatened with attack, for
which it is said they have prepared themselves, rather
than be driven out without an opportunity of parting

A new bill was presented to the House of Representa-
tives by Mr. Campbell on the lith ultimo, for the revi-
sion of the consular system of the United States. The

system of compensation by fees is d.scouraged, though
not absolutely ab libhed by this bill, being henceforth to
be levied on vessels, according to their size, instead of

upon each invoice.
A fixed tariff of fees is to be fixed for vessel

also requires that no consul shall engrige, directly or indi-

penalty of two thousand dollars. _ _

The fourth, fifth, and sixth sections of the bill require
that a consul shall not be permitted to absent himself

ing that time his salary shill be discontinued. The con-

with the department of State once in ,three months, and

more frequently if occasion requires.
PARALYSIS.—We regret to learn that Mr. Rice, the ce-

the use of his limbs by a stroke of paralysis.—New York

MARKET INTELLIGENCE,

CORN TRADE

JUNE 30.—Since our last, per Great Western, there
continued up to last evening a fair demand for flour, both
for export and borne use, and heavy sales have been made,
although at a decline of 64- cents on previous quotati-ms.
The market en Saturday was rather inactive, and we
heard of no sales during the day beyond the ordinary
transactions. Genessee cannot be quoted over 4 121,
with any degree of accuracy ; Michigan 4 to 4 61, at the
former figure—a large lot of mixed brands changed hands
for export, and some sales were made as low as 3 931.

Sales .of New Orleans were made at 3 624; Southein
generally is very dull ; Georgetown and Howard-street,
4to 4 124. Rye Flour, common, 250t0 2 624. Wheat
continues good, both for export and milling, with sales to
some extent, in prime Genessee, at 98 to 100 cents, and
Illinois at 85 to 86 cents, principally for export; Michi-
gan, 914. Prices are lower at New Orleans.

TODGERS AND TIER FIGHTING SON.—There
was a lady, list, g at Heidelberg, a kind of Mrs. Todgers,
who kept a lodging and eating house, and had a table
,
d note, where many of the students used to dine. Her
cookery, which at first was tolerably good, by degrees be-
gan to degenerate, and at last grew so intolerable, that al-
though her dinners were the cheapest in the city, her cus-
tomers, one by one, deserted her, and at length she was
formally put under the ban by the chore who used to fre-
quent her establishment. But the Frau Heximar fortu-
nately posses-ed a strapping son, who happened to be a
remarkably good swordsman, and he very significantly
gave several members of the chore to understand, that
unless they returned to his mother's banquets, he would
be under the disagreeable necessity of taking compulsory
measures. This threat bad the desired effect; for a few
of the junior members who had not had time to become
very cunning of fence, grew frightened—they returned.
The cook, anxious to retrieve her credit, put forth all her
skill; a favourable report was brought back to the kneipe,
and Madame Heximar's table was as much crowded as
ever.—Dublin University Magazine.
