Commercial convention.

The Commercial Convention which is to be
held at Baltimore on the 18th instant is at
tracing attention in parts of the South and
West, though perhaps less than it is entitled
to, considering the objects it is intended
to promote, and the character Of the gen
lemen who have undertaken to perfect the
preliminary arrangements. 1t is understood
that the intention of its promoters has
no reference to mere generalities, or TO the
pretty distractions with which some Of our
southern friends are wont to amuse themselves
and the public. 1t is designed, if we are not
misinformed, to devise plans for concentrating
enterprises that have been already begun,
and others that are contemplated, for facili-
tating and extending commercial intercourse
between the seabOard and the central and
southwestern States. In the struggle now
going on 10 secure the benefits of western
trade, Baltimore plays an important part-one
that displays spirit, energy, and sagacity
amongst it's leading citizens, and that will
eventually render it the main trading empori-
UNI of some Of the richest sections Of the
Union. Its railroads now in progress will in
brief space of time place 1t in direct and rapid
communication with Cincinnati, Louisville,
and the whole of the Ohio valley, with the
Susquehannah region, and ultimately with
Western New York. Besides these, there is
the Southern Steam Packet Company" which
has contracted for the building of steamer of
large tonnage to run between Baltimore and
Charleston with an understanding that, If
successful, the line Of steamers shall be ex-
tended 10 Pensacola, Mobile, and New Or
leans.
Baltimore is not alone interested in these
projects, and its euterprising merchants have
therefore right to calculate upon the cordial
cooperation of those who are as directly con-
cerned as themselves. The approaching con-
vention will serve a useful purpose if 1t bring
together the growers of and dealers in the
southern and western staples, and the mer-
chaDts who operate in them at the Atlantic
ports. Such an assemblage, meeting in a
friendly spirit and subjecting their discus
sons to the dictates Of practical wisdom, may
Law the foundations of a mutually advantageous
trade, and one that admits of almost illlmitable
expansion.

NAVIGATION on THE New YoRK CANAL AND
HUDSON RivER.-The New York Journal Of Com
msrce Of the l4th ultimo says
The boats have nearly all been withdrawn from
the canals, and great number # them, covering
a large extent OF water, have collected in the At
Iantc Dock basin. There are about three hun
dred in al, aud it s expected that about fifty more
will be added. Last winter a much smaller num-
Der harbored in the basin, on account of the sud
den closing of the canals locking the boats in the
ice.
THE last boat on the Hudson last year left AL
on the first of December. The Albany alias says
the steamers nightly carrying Urge loads of
freight down the river, and the prospect is that
they will continue to do SO some time yet. This
will be know n by the steamboat mon aa the long

LATER FROM ToBAsco.-By the arrival OF the
brig Captain John, from Tobasco, November 2lat,
we are informed that the city is overlooked with
water; the excitement is very great, as boats can
easily proceed up the streets. The water in the
custom house was from two to three feet deep.
civil war had broken out in Tobasco, in which
large number Of citizens opposed 90 the present
government have taken up arms, and succeeded
in taking two small towns. There have also been
two battles, in which about four hundred govern
ment troops were killed. IL was supposed that
as soon as the water subsidized there would be a
general outbreak, as Mexican troops were soon
expected there.
