ABSreBdte increase IN august over June. 2@,20
This presents certainly a most astonishing in
crease in circulation, and that too in two months
when great activity does not prevail-the midst Of
summer In the approaching season, now close at
hand, we have no doubt that this increase will be
greatly accelerated and that the activity Of bus-
ness is resumed, our advertising patronage will
grow in the same ratio to that of any other element
In society.
In some of the old papers down town, with cir
culatIon of only few thousands. we learn that
many Of merchants from the narrowness OF
their vision, are accustomed to insert advertise
ments OF a few squares the rate of from $500 TO
$500 per annum-money absolutely thrown away
and at less expense, would meet the eye and atten
ton OF ten times the number of business people
that are communicated with through the papers of
the old regime. There is also large class of adver-
tisements-such as wants"-"notices"- board
lng"-and SO on, for which the Herald is by far the
best medium of publication There is no other
communicating with those, for instance, who want
servants-it circulates amongst those classes who
employ servants, not like some low penny papers,
exclusively amongst the poorer classes, who do not
want servants at all, and read its advertise
ments.
in every point of view we can recommend the
Ne,c York Herald being one OF the best chan
nes Of advertising published in the city Of
New York. Business is Just commencing People
are Just beginning their operations for the "fal"
There will be no with England though there
may be brush with Mexico, confined to Texas
however Business must increase as the population
increases Activity will increase, and we therefore
open at reasonable rates, the columns of our widely
extended journal TO all those who are in want Of
such services

MEXICAN AFFArRs.-There is no further news
from Mexico. But we have little doubt that some
hostile demonstration will soon be made. Mexico re-
CARDS us as having declared war; and she s doubt

The New STEAMER OREGoN.-Thls new steam
packet is now attracting a good deal OF attention.
She is magnificent vessel and is the longest steam
er In the world
This wonder of a steamboat was launched several
months ago, and is now finished in superb style
Her length is three hundred and forty feet, and her
proportions symmetrical and in perfect taste with
harmony and beauty. She is owned by Mr.. Geo
Law, late President OF the Harlem Railroad, and
now President of the Mohawk Railroad II is his
intention to place her on the line with the Neptune
present running round Point Judith toProvldence
the cheap and popular plan. The O. will proba-
bly, make her first trip next week.
The owner of this mammoth steamer has success
fully tested her qualities and power within the last
few days, and she will again be tried on the Both
inst when the English monster steamer Great Bri-
tain goes to sea. They will then have trial OF
speed to Sandy Hook, and perhaps farther to sea
The latter is only ten feet shorter than the Oregon
they, therefore, the steam champions of the two
nations.
Mr. William H. Brown, the builder Of the Russian
| steam frigate Kamschatka built the Oregon, and
Mr. Simonson finished the joiners work The finish
and model of the vessel speak well for the skill OF
those concerned in her construction.

himself from the aspersions cast upon his fair fame

stars IN the famous Lewis letter Mr. Walker com.

which were made some time since in the commune

never engaged in any negotiations for the purchase
of the Globe, and Mr.. Walker explicitly denies that

PHILADELPHIA July o, ls45.
Well the glorious Fourth has passed. and people have
resumed their ordinary avocations. We witnessed
such delightful day The weather was clear, and
freshng breeze kept the atmosphere pleasant. Every
thing exhibited tranquility With the exception OF the
Native shihiers parading the streets with ship drawn
by horses the day had the appearance of the Sabbath
and indeed the Natives few their ranks empty
and meagre and their spirits checked that they
could not disturb for any length of me the almost uni
versa quiet The celebration of the day commenced by
the torchgh. procession Of the Natives, at o'clock
in the morning Ata O'Clock the guns Navy Yard
commenced firing, and from that time till after daylight
there continued explosions of various firearms in
every direction At o'clock the First Regiment OF Ar
tllery paraded under Major r. X. Scott, marched TO
Penn Square, at Broad and Market streets, and fired
fen de ioi, dismissing at about nine O'Clock. The
political parties had their celebrations in quiet way
and the rest Of the day presented the sunday aspect
course there were but few accidents The only one
which has come to my knowledge, was that OF a man
named William Grimes, who blown from the muz-
ze about 20 yards by the premature explosion Of gun
in Southwark whilehc Natives were firing salute IN
Of Boston The flesh was torn from his and breast
and he is considered in a dangerous situation.
The Native National Convention organized at the As.
Boston presdes they are again in session today and
have under consideration resolution pledging the
Native party total exclusion of the foreigner from
political rights. II offered by Judge Oakley Of
New York is supported by large number. but is op.
posed by the Natives OF this city The twenty year
principle, they call it, is thus you perceive repudia
ted by and the country now the inevitable
finale of this faction should it obtain the ascen
dancy.
The foreign from Europe and Texas has created
quite sensation among our people The declarations
Of Guzot about France and very pretty
paraded in the papers side by side with the OF the
success Of annexation despite the efforts Of French and
English diplomacy.
The Herad's summary OF the foreign news is decided
the best of any paper in the country It gives more
information upon the subjects than all Of them together
and aranges that information to be understood bet
ter by the general reader The consequences that your
agents, Zeber Co. have their store crowded by anx
ous purchasers the the New York line arrives
There is no business OF Importance doing The Board Of
Brokers do not meet till Monday and of course have
no opportunity OF ascertaning the state of the different
stock
