rapers to the 2d instant. They bring advices from

The Georgetown, Captain MILLER, from Demerara,
arrived in the river at a late hour last night ; but the bag
was not delivered. We understand that she is the latest
arrival from that colony. Should she bring anything
important, we willgive it in our Second Edition.

,The Postoffice- packet Thais arrived at Falmouth on
Saturday from Mexico arid the Havana. She left Tam-
pico on the 6th-August, Vera Cruz on the ISth August,
and the Havana on the Ilth September. From Mexico
the accounts brought:by the Thais have been anticipated
through New York a week ago ; but the dates from the
island of Cuba are later than those hitherto received.
The yellow fever had been making considerable ravages
in the .northern parts of the Island for the week preced-
ing the departure of the packet ; hut our letters do not
mention the cholera; which may, therefore, be presumed
to have ceased in its destructive effects. The only com-
mercial intelligence of moment from the Havana was a
rise, somewhat considerable, which had taken place in
the price of sugar. Considerable purchases had been
inade,-chiefly for American account; and there appeared
every chance of the improvement in value being main-
tained.

By the New York packet ship Sheffield, Capt. HACK-
.
STAFF, we have received files of papers from that city to
the 25th September; we had previously received ac-
counts one clay later by the John Wells. We have also
Montreal papers to the 20th September, but they do not
contain much matter of interest. In the weekly abstract
of the Daily Advertiser for the 18th September is a de-
scription of a steam-boat on a novel construction, in-
vented by Mr. BURDEN, an ingenious mechanic of Troy
(U. S.), for which we have not space. The boat is to
be 300 feet in length, with an average breadth of about
40 feet ; the power of the engines will only be 75 horses,
and the speed which he calculates upon accomplishing
not less than twenty-five miles an hour. Mr. BURDEN
has made experiments on a-laige, scale;- which-justify him
in his expectation• of success with his "floating island,"
which is in an advanced state of progress. Should those
expectations be rtalized, our present rail-road speed will
cease to astonish. The rapids of some of the American
rivers, which have hitherto presented serious ob-
stacles to steam navigation, as they often run at the
rate of ten miles an hour, will then yield to a
power, which, after overcoming them, will still
make its way._ at a speed far exceeding anything
which has been , done hitherto, with the strongest
tides or currents operating in faVour of the vessels.
We cannot pretend to judge, from the details before us,
if the plan will be successful or otherwise ; but we have
a conviction, arising out of something beyond conjecture,
that the speed of steam boats may be very much in-
creased.

At the date of these accounts, the harvest, with few
exceptions, was housed in the two provinces of Canada,
and the neighbourhood portions of the United States.
It appears that in the provinces, the crops had gene-
rally proved very good ; though in some districts the
Indian Corn had partially failed. In Upper Ca-
nada there seems to have been the most favourable
results, and in many farms, the produce averaged over
the whole surface forty bushels of wheat an acre. From
the'United States the crops are generally represented as
being abundant in the northern, western, and south-
western states; and in Ohio and Illinois unusual
crops have been housed. In the latter the quantity
of wheat is said to be " prodigious ;" and it is thought
"that the entire product will be at least twice what it
ever was in Illinois in the most favourable seasons." In
some of the southern states there is a deficiency; but it
is computed that the abundant produce of the western
states will easily supply that deficiency; and "that the
harvest of the United States generally will be more than
