ONTHE STREETS The monotony of summerswas
perceYabe yesterday in all our great thoroughfares
In the general produce market there was more than
the ordinary activity for the middle Of June. The
arrivals Of boats from the West continue on fair
SCALE The several arrivals Of vessels within the past
few days has impaired more animation ID up.country
heights; and with the large number of citizens
taking their departure the upper steamboat landing
has pretensions other than and inactivity.
The demand for most articles Of Western products is
very free, though -four from the nature Of theadFices
the two last steamers, seems to have downward
feeling.
The Ericsson, from Liverpool, with dates to the
4 28fh, was teegraphed on Saturday. Yesterday the
Arabia was also reported The accounts by these
vessels have had no influence on orr market, though
those by the arabia indicate an improvement. The
stock on hand here now is 80 low that it required
something more than Ia. to cause an excitement
We learn that the boats which have been employed
during the winter and spring between this city and
the towns on the Alabama river have been withdrawn.
THE late rains have had o most favorable influence
throughout the entire though and
then hear Of complaints but they 50 few and far
between that the most promising accounts must be TAX
en- al the general good condition growing crops
6of cotton and corn. In Claiborne county, Miss. we
learn that cotton is already in blossom This may, how
ever prove an Isolated and not Sufficient import
on which to forma basis. If the planters generally,
who appear to take much pride in the orwardness
their crops to exult in the prospect, were to dis
card the ambitious feeling Of trying to: get the
first bale of new cotton TO Market it would prove
highly ef6caeious in the end.
The Arabia's advices, which came through to-day,
were surmsed, but unfortunately for temporary deal
ers there is nothing of note on the market or likely
\ to be to-day
We learn that the shipments Of cotton from New
York the past season to Europe have not been so re-
mnneratiye as shipments from this port. This will
also apply to other articles of produce and sustain the
femarkss SO often made that there is no market on
this continent that offers year with another SO
great advantages as this much abused and traduced
cityof New Orleans.

TIE LATE SHOOTING AT FLORENCE, GA. - The
Eufaula Spirit Of the 10th inst, gives brief state
ment about the recent affair at Florence which seems
somewhat to mitigate its enormity, and encourages
the hope thatit will as disastrous as former
reports led ns to apprehend. According to this &C.
count, Mr.. Averetts togate had several times been
destroyed, and aparty Of his friends had stationed
themselves near to protect it against an expected
attack. Seeing an axe and gun in possession Of the
approaching party, and supposing they were coming
npto destroy the gate, the friends Of Ayerett fred
upon them with squirrelshot, severely wounding
several reported, but it was hoped none
were fatally hurt John McIendon and Ebenezer
Miles had been arrested and examined, the former
discharged and the latter bound over in $500. No
y other arrests had been made.

WHAT RAILROADS. CAN Do..-In the wear 1850
before the completion Of its railway system, the State
of Ohio had an aggregate amount of taxable prop
erty rated at and in the wear 1874, after
the completion Of the system the value of the same
description Of property is set down at 1868 s77
very nearly double. Nothing can more forcbly illus
taate the wonderful effects Of railway improvements
upon the prosperity of a State. Ohio has entered
more largely than any other member of the confed
eracy upon the development Of the system of rail
ways
