The steamship Britannia is in her eleventh day
from Liverpool, and will probably arrive at Bos-
ton tomorrow or next day. The spectators are
again on the q.i pivs, and by aid of blue lights
and magnetism, feel confident of obtaining the
market quotations in advance of every body.
Our -four dealers and merchants in general had
better avoid operating from the moment they see
this paragraph, for this reason that the telegraph
from Boston to Portland is now in operation, and
this agents Of the spectators in Halifax can
transmit intelligence of the markets in England
by signal rockets to Portland-thence by tee-
graph to Boston and this city, in few minutes
after the steamer arrives in Halifax. This can
be done, and the news sent here in from
thirty-six to forty hours in advance of the arri-
val Of the steamship at Boston, as the trip from
Halifax to that city usually takes that time.
In few minutes after the steamships arrival
in Boston, we shall receive the market reports,
and the moment they come into our possession,
We shall print them in large letters and paste
them on our bulletin and on the sides of our
building, for the benefit of the public
In half an hour afterwards, or whereabouts, we
shall publish an Extra Herald, containing the
details of the news. We warn the public against
purchasing or selling until the market reports
are made public.

The FAIR OF THE AMERICAN INsTITUTE.--We are
informed that the officers and members Of the Inst
tute are making every exertion to have the next
exhibition the best that has ever taken place in this
city. 1t has always been the commendable aim
of the Institute to have every successive exhibit
ton more brilliant than its predecessor, and in
this we think it has succeeded.
In addition to the exhibition in this city,
there will be one in Boston and one in Phia-
delphia.
The influence which this institution exerts in
thscountry is felt and acknowledged everywhere.
From the most distant States and Territories,
as well as from every place in our own region,
manufacturers, mechanics, horticulturists and
farmers, send The best specimens OF their talent
and enterprise to the exhibitions of the Institute,
and exert themselves to the utmost to carry OIL
the palm and obtain medals
The next exhibition of the Institute will be at
Castle Garden, on the FIRST and second days Of
October next.

TRAVEL TO EURopE-THE SAILING PACKETS
While public attention is occupied with
ocean steam navigation, our lines of splendid
sailing packets, which have for SO long time
been the favorite and preferred means of travel
by the people Of every nation, are quietly but
largely partaking Of the general prosperity of the
United States. The inducements offered by
the sailing packets to families, or to those
VINO cross only for pleasure, are many, and
are worthy of some consideration. Notwith-
standing the great numbers constantly crossing
and recrossing in the various steamers now in
operation, the packets still maintain high POSI-
ton, and command as great number of passen-
gers as formerly. Steam don't affect the
packets but it increases the number of passen-
gers. Many Of the travelling community are
impressed with the idea that the sailing packets
are the best for pleasure voyage.
Among the number of packets leaving for Lv-
erpool, during the present month, are the ships
Roscius, John R. Skiddy, and the Fidelia, with
host of transient vessels, many of which are not
inferior to the packets. The Fidelia which leaves
on the 10th, and the Roscius, are particularly de-
serving the attention Of those intending to take
trip across the Atlantic. Apart from many ex-
cellent accommodations, such as shower baths,
&C, the Fidelia has an accompaniment in the
person of her commander, that speaks highly in
her favor Indeed, all our packets were never
better, and their commanders never more gen.
tlemanly and experienced, than those now in
service.
