The VERMONT WooI. MARKETING had the
pleasure of visiting last week the Wool Depot at
Shoreham, and witnessing the immense quantities
of wool already collected and daily arriving there
for sale. Mr.. Everts informed us that about $1,000
lbs of wool have been deposited since June 9Th,
and that four and quarter tons had been received
ON the day of our visit Consignments have arrived
from New York and from the remotest portions of
our own State. These facts speak conclusveIy for
the success of the enterprise and the confidence of
the people, 1t must be very gratifying to all who
are alive to this great agricultural interest of our
State, to see Market thus successfully established
at our very doors, where the wool-grower may
without trouble to himself or risk of imposition be
always of the highest price of the season for
his clip. 1t obviously must add on tho whole
considerable per centage to the value of our State
productions, and to the hNrd-earned wealth of our
Farmers.
We are requested to state that the advances of
cash on wool are not interrupted as has been re-
ported but will continue to be made on the most
liberal terms.

DEFERRED NOTICES..

HoLden's Dollar Magozine.-The July No. of this
cheapest of the Monthlies has reached us-beng the
first we have seen. We are most agreeably surpris-
ed to see how much taste, talent and extent and
variety of reading brought together in the max
ing up Of this Magazine, for One Dollar year. 1t
is as good it is cheap. The present number con-
tains several illustrations, among which The Fall
of Rydal Water" (near Worisworths residence) is
gem worth possessing. Critical articles on r. H.
Dana, Rev. Ralph IIoyt and others, with Historical
Sketches, short and stirring Tales, and what quite
remarkable, one of Shakspeare's best Sonnets, and
some good original poetry
AS q pleasant specimen we extractithcse touching
lines from "Thoughts in the Summer Woods"
Hank, from the wood-depths its the quick sharp
crack
Of some rude sportsmans deadly fowlng-piece
How the poor birds are futterng-hushed are now
Their pleasant melodies-and from the top
OF yonder feathery pine-tree, painting falls
The death-struck songster. See, his eye
Droops with the film of death, and painfully
Throbs his poor innocent heart. That soft, blue eye
Is looking up to mine, as If with one
Long, sorrowful glance, it srove to wake my pity.
Poor trembler! thou vert stricken amid the thrill
Ofthy pure-hearted minstrelsy. My tongue
Could almost curse the cruel hand that dealt
The inhuman death to thee. All, who with heart
OF flesh could stay thy gushing swell of song,
Or harm a feather Of thy beautiful wing?
Yet thou art dyng-falner throbs thy heart;
Thy little feet are stflening. Yet once more
Thy glazing eyes look upward to mine own
Closed are they now forever!
&C. w. Holden, 100 Nassau st. New York;
The Union Magazine for July is also before us, in
all its usual elegance and excellence. The rare and
lady who edits it contributes the
first letter from her European tour, and to those
who know any thing of Mrs. Kirkland commenda-
ton is needless.

MISERABLE DEGENERACY.

"Ihave," says DR.. Arnold, ".iust been looking
over newspaper. One of the most painful and sol
studies in the world, lift be read thoughtfuly."
The Doctor had probably been readnga party pa
per- and was panied at the number Of falsehoods he
met with.-BOSton Wing.
Perhaps it was the "Whig." We are panied by
a great staring ialsehood in huge capitals, which
comes to our office daily, being the first words on
that sheet-"BOSTON WHIG"; and as we look
further lin the number from which the above is
taken) We find as the next Item a brazen puff of
CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS, (the Editor) prefacing
egotistcal speech of his own three columns long,
devoted to abuse of the Wing Party, Henry Clay and
Gen. Taylor. The very next article contains
SANDER on his own State, claiming it for the Dsu-
Mon Party. A little on comes tissue of the most
scurrous falsehoods we ever saw in psint concern
ing Gen. Taylor, so humorous that VIC cannot stop
to count them, and in n separate paragraph dis
gushing, petty SANDER on the same pure name, with
out authority, which no decent Tocofoco print would
stoop to publish. But "the time would fail u.s."
We respect and like man who seems sincerely
in earnest in any cause not his own; but we can
trace in this mans course nothing but the lowest
the vainest ambition and the most
hypocrisy and mendacity. Alas, that
the illustrious ADAMS line should reach so mean
termination

GEN. TAYLOR NOT A STAKEHOLDER IN
PR1NcIPLE.-The New York Mirror says
awhile one or two papers at tho North are
.professedly hostile to General Taylor, because
he is a STAKEHOLDER in fact, some of the South
ern Polk papers object to him because he is
not STAKEHOLDER in principle. The Mobile
Register accuses him of being an abolitionist,
while the Charleston Mercury, or rather
correspondent of that paper, accuses him of
not being so sound on the subject of slavery
as General Cass, and intimates that General
Taylor regards slavery as a sin an an evil,
while General Cass does not so regard it."

The RIGHT PosITIoN.-A resolution adopted by
the Wings Of Burlington, June 80.

The Wings OF Burlington June ".
Resolved, That we desire on this occasion
to re-aflirm our determined hostility to the
extension of Slavery into the Free Territories
of the Union that while we would in no
wise interfere with Slavery as it exists within
the limits of the several States, we are em-
barked in war against its introduction into
the National Territories, the common proper
ty of the whole people, which will never ter
inmate but with success that we solemnly
invoke Congress, in the exercise of their we'll
settled authority over those Territories, to
apply to their soil the noble principle of the
Ordinance of 81, and the Wilmot Proviso.-
That, unlike Mr.. Van Buren,, who stands
pledged to veto Pny act for the abolition of
Slavery in the District of Columbia; and
wide as the poles from Gen. Cass, who stands
pledged to veto any act for the preservation
of Freedom in the Territories, the gallant old
hero and patriot of Monterey and Buena
Vista, has given the people his word of honor
the honor of an old soldier which has never
been impeached or tarnished-and which is
far dearer to him than political success or
party preferment-tha he will not interpose
the executive veto Ito use his own language)
where questions fconstitutionalrow have
been settled by the various departments of
the Government and acquiesced in by the
people.

The Arrival of the Caledonia
Seven Days later from Europe.

The news by the Caledonia is mostly I'M
important. Things in the French Republic
continue in the same deplorable state of con-
fusion, insecurity and alarm as by our last
advices Nothing new. The Bonapartists
are gaining strength and boldness. Serious
riots, attended with loss of life, have occur
red in more than one department at the
south, and seem likely to be repeated
PRUss1A.-Berlin has been the scene Of
fresh disturbances; barricades have been
erected in the streets, and blood has been
shed. On the 14th great measures had been
taken to protect the Assembly. The iron
ratings were destroyed by the people, who
then rushed to the Arsenal, and insisted on
the National Guards doing duty there instead
of the military. The National Guards and
the troops fred on the people.

FR1GHTFUL RAvAGEs OF THE CHOLERA.
The last accounts from Moscow state that the
Cholera Morbus is making frightful progress.
OF AGA persons attacked, from the 23d to the
Goth of May, no less than POS died. The
number of new cases on the 29th of MAY
alone amounted to 49, and the number of
deaths to AZ. The Cholera has also broken
out with great intensity at Jaroslau, Robinski,
and Kalouga, and thus appears to be gradu-
ally advancing Westward.
THE WAR IN ITALY.-The Italia del Po-
polo of the 18th, conveys the disagreeable
news Of the capitulation of Vicenza, over
powered by the overwhelming force of the
Austrians.
General Durando signed a capituIation
undertaking to cross the Pc, and not to serve,
neither he nor the Romans under him, for
the space of three months, against the Aus
TRANS.
The King signed on the evening of the 10th
at Garda, the pact with M. Casati, and two
other members of the Provisional Govern
ment at Milan, for the annexation of Lom-
hardy to the kingdom of Sardinia. The Pro-
visional Government is to cease its functions,
and kind ofregency, composed of Piedmon-
tese and Milanese, of which NJ. Casati is to
be the President, will for the present be es-
tablshed at Milan.
IRELAND.-During the suspension of the
sittings of the Irish Confederation, and the
meetings at Cancellation Hall, the agitation
in Ireland has for the moment appeared to
Ianguish. In the meantime, the organization
of clubs is proceeding to an alarming extent.
In Dublin, alone, it is stated that there are 40
clubs, each consisting of 300 members, max
ing an aggregate of 10000 men, who are &C.
customed to assemble, at least once week, for

OUR INTERNAL COMMERCE.

We are under obligation to Senator UfiAM for
valuable report from the Typographical Bureau' re-
specting the commerce, navigation, Improvements
effected and needed, and means of defence, OF inc
| Western Lakes and Rivers. If we had room we
might, we think, rely upon pleasing and beneitting
our readers by very copious extracts; but we must
be content with selecting few of the moro striking
statistics, prefaccd by the following admirable re-
marks of Col. Albert from the introduction to his
report.
The internal commerce of all nations vast
ly exceeds their external, and is more IN
Eallble measure of their strength 1t is only
from a knowledge of this commerce, which
is knowledge of the products of all kinds OF
country, and of the interchange of these pro-
ducts, that the capacity of country can be
properly estimated its ability to sustain It,
self in seasons of adversely, and to lend
belping hand to others. And it is, also, from
knowledge of these products, that sound
Judgment can be formed of those national IN
terests which may require some adventurous
aid, and of those which ably sustain them.
selves The productive industry Of
nation may be considered as measured by
its internal and external trade and commerce,
and the external trade and commerce may
be considered as the measure of national pro-
fit; as the external commerce of nation
consists of those national products which are
not wanted at home, or which can be conve-
nently spared. Each react upon the other,
giving life and strength to both; q correct
knowledge of each is therefore of the greatest
Importance in obtaining correct knowledge
of the whole.
