ample for all demands in this market, the price
has little further advanced since our last re-
port. We notice a sale, at auction to-day, of
$50 bags Of bushels each, at So so 50 rs
per bag. The article is selling from store al

advanced, and we raise our figures in accor-
dance to 81 25 10 81 80 per bushel, at whole

We are requested by the agents for the sal

that the buyers purchase as heretofore, viz
800 lbs. to the barrel. upon which the prc

one-eighth of that amount and it will give tn

sufficient to settle the question Of supply the de-
mand is pretty generally known and upon this
data we can form pretty correct idea Of the guam
tity of breadstufs that will be required in Great
Britain from foreign countries.
AS the season advances, the stocks of PRODUCES
become reduced, and in many instances this class
have been purchasers in the market. having sold
thcmselyts short. There is no doubt that the de.
ficiency in Great Britain and Ireland is full as
large as anticipated early in the season. and it is
| matter of much moment in England where the
supply is to come from. Amidst the gloom and
endorsements which existed in all pats of Eu-
rope, in consequence of the high prices ruling for
food, there were promising indications of an aver
age harvest but we know not how long they may
last or how soon they may change. Every thing
depends upon the growing crops, and IN The event
of deficiency approaching that of this year. God
only knows what will be the result. 1t must te

| The effect of the advices by the Hibernia upon
this market has been very great. Prices have cd

LATER FROM GEN. TAYLOR.


Advices have been received at New Orleans
from the Brazos to the 26th ult., from Monte
rev to the 18th, and from Saltillo to the l4th.
From the Picayune we select the following
items of interesting news:
In conversation with 1t AIKEN, of the I'd
Kentucky Foot, we learn that most dep!ora-
bic duel occurred at China about the 2lst ult.,
between two Its. in the Virginia regiment
The news was taken to Caraargo by Mr..
Dowd, beef contractor at China, and was full
" credited by all at Camargc. According 10
this report, the two Lieutenants. one OF whom
was named Mahan, and the name of the 9th.
er not being recollected-fought with muskets
loaded with ball and buckshot, and both par
| ties were killed Most sincerely do we hope
there may be some exaggeratlon IN the state
ment, but 1t. AIKEN leaves but little room FOL
hope He fully believes it, and 1t was gener-
ally credited at Camargo.
| In the first letter of our correspondent be-
low, fears are again expressed as to the tate
of Col. Doniphan, and even Capt Pike. W.
publish the letter as written, but are most hap
py to learn from Lieut.. AIKEN, that subsequent
to the date of our correspondents letter, new:
was received of Col Doniphan's advance to-
wards Saltillo. He had gone back to Chihua

march for Saltillo. 1t. AIKEN left Saltillo OF

from Cen Wool himself that Col. Doniphal

FURTHER FROM MEXICO.

Gen. Alvarez, who appears now as one of
the competitors for the Presidency was accused
not many months ago, under the administration
OF Paroles, of the grossest corruption. Among
other charges, was one that he misappropria-
ted funds destined for the California expedi-
ton, and that he sold The ornaments of some
of the Mexican works on the Pacific and ap-
piled the proceeds TO his own use. Now he
is one of the pliers upon which the hopes oi
his countrymen rest. He has lately placed
Acapulco, which may be considered his lair,
in state of defence and gone up to Mexico
10 assist in the general defence, followed, it is
said, by three or four thousand men. Before
leaving, he published an address to the inhab.
itantS OF his section OF the country, explaining
to them the objects OF the war on the part oil
the Americans 1t is particularly full of mis-
representations, but is nevertheless we'll writ
ten and spirited. Heconcludes bytelling Them
to sharI en- their knives, and that the war will
soon be over
Another candidate for the Presidency WE
perceive is Melchor Ocambo He is now, we
believe, Governor of the State of Michoacan
He is friend of the President Substitute, A
maya, and strenuous advocate of the war
We find a long letter in the papers advocating
his views. He calls upon the people 10 joil
the gurrillas, to abandon the large cities an
carry their property off to the mountains
Should Mexico consent to make peace will
the enemy, he will fight, he says, againt the in
habltants of that State as well as the foreigl
foe. Such is his aversion to peace, that wer
the country to consent to it-even where it
own Mlchoacan to do it-he declares he vii
rather expatriate himself than yield to it an
! live in a dishonored country.
The proclamation ofGen. Scott to the Mex
lean nation was produced in the Mexican Con
gress on the 4th of May. From the state
ment of the Minister, it would seem to hav
been found among some intercepted papers
The Republican, treats the document with Ii
tie ceremony, and without attempting to repl
to its reasonings. denounces it as impertineT
and disrespectful. The Government has cor
ceived the suspicion that the document Wa
concocted by some Mexican action in conjun,
ton with Scott, and " the fury OF the natic
and the severity of the laws are held up
tcrroren against all who thus connive VII
the enemy.

In Boston, Albany. and Baltimore, the effect
has been equally great, will he seen by the tel
egraphc reports in our columns to-day. 1t is i'm
possible to tell how high prices will go 1t is the
most fortunate thing for consumers that the sur
plus in the country is so large and the receipts
from the interior SO immense. The shipments
will, without doubt. be large for some time to
come !; but we shall have new wheat in the mar
ket in about six weeks, and there is every proba-
bllity of the yield being unusually large. No one
can complain for the want of foreign demand for
our hreadstuffS; but we have no doubt there are
many who will complain, because it is the cause
OF the advance in prices.
The other European markets were rather hea-
W. Cotton had declined in Liverpool one quarter
of penny since the LIST of May but at the close
there indications of an improvement, both in
sales and in prices
The most important feature in the ne.vs to the
country genera ly, is the decided improvement in
the London money market. We Anticipated this,
and our predictions have been realized An inn
pIovement in all departments of business in Great
Britain must follow any relief in the money mar
ket, and the prevailing impression in financial
circles, when the Hibernia left, that the Bank
of England had passed the crisis, and its position
would steadily strengthen.

NEW ENGLAND TORY1SM-ATROCIO
SENTIMENTS

Who could believe that even in the metrop-
oils of old federal Massachusetts, a newspaper
could be tolerated in the utterance of such an
ii patriotic, anti-American sentiments, as those
which follow, from the Boston Daily Crono-
type. paper of the Tribune school? In
speaking of the late victory of our army at
Cerro Gordo, and of our brave soldiers enga-
ged in that glorious achievement, that papet
says: Son the bulldogs march-up to their
eyes in blood-proud to do their savage work"
Again, that paper has the following most a.
trocious and Infamous sentiments:
elf there is in the United States a heart
worthy of American liberty, its impulse is TO

the horue5 meanlng our brave sotdiers) under
Scott and Taylor, were, every man Of them,

impiously asks, what business have they in

Here is another extract:
