THE EXCHANGE MONTH"; Y AID YER TXSING
SUPPLEMENT FOR JUNE 1853,

Will be issued from this office promptly on the
first of June To insure this result, and to prevent
all mistakes and confusion, we shall decline to re-
ceive any advertisement for that issue after the
last day of May. The great success which has
attended our experiment of a monthly issue, we
accept as an obligation to still further exertion to
promote the interests of the community which has
so literally sustained u.s. We SHALL therefore, in
crease our next edition to 20 900, which will be
distributed as the last has -gratuitousy-to
the business men of the West and South. We
shall also send portion of the next issue into the
southern counties of the border free States, to
which Baltimore is the nearest seaport. We shall
use larqer sheet, so as to allow ourselves
more room for appropriate editorial matter, such as
we had in TYNE for the first number, and which
was necessarily crowded out. We say necessarily,
because within the time which We allowed Tor ad-
yertsements to be handed in, to reject any,
while unoccupied space remained, would have been
to give some men an unfair advantage over others
Some errors crept into late issue in spite OF all
our efforts, which we hope to avoid in future; and
we shall take care that the Index-which we con-
slider very valuable feature-shall present more
minute analys sis of the matters advertised and be
better displayed, than practicable in our last
1t will greatly promote our convenience, 1t those
who design to advertise in our June number, will
send in their advertisements early as posi-
BILE, and will state the heading under which they
desire to be cassed in the Index.
TERMS
One Dollar per square of six lines.
No advertisement less than one dollar
No adver semens conflicting with Baltimore interests
received.

LATER FROM BERMTTDA

Our hles OF the Bermudian extend to April 81
In its issue of the Goth, that paper saws:
ave have no recollection of such cool and stormy
weather in the month of April as that which has
prevailed here for the last ten days There was
nothing like it in Marcia month famous for its
lnciemency. The WIND has been blowing alternately
from northwest and southwest frequently rising to
the heighth of strong gale, and the temperature
ls now lower than it was during the preceding
month. gentleman of this town, who has been
for more than sixty years careful observer of the
weather, informs us that he recolects no April like
the present, except as far back as the wear 1903
when the weather during the same month was even
more boisterous than it has been at this time; that
then for three weeks succession of heavy north
west gales ragged here without intermission dis
turbing intercourse by water between the distant
parts of the Island.
A smart southwest gale is raging to-day; the
wind blowing in squalls with great force, and LASH
ing the waters of the harbor into foam.
The potato crop is coming in The Peerless with
a full cargo, is appointed to sail to-day ftr New
York; but we regret to hear that the Weld in many
places has been serious disappointment to the
planters-falling far short of their expectations,
and inducing the belief that the whole crop will
after all, not turn out so bountifu one as appear
ances promised a month ago.
The onion crop Is progressing towards ripeness
In very encouraging manner, and if a drouth do
not set in, it will be very good one.
The arrow root crop will exhibit, we are sorry to
hear, large falling of as compared with the re-
turns of late years. This result is to be attributed
to the havoc committed by the great gale of Octo-
Der last"

is from three to fifteen days-often even twenty
fve,and in some instances, the delay has been so
pretracted that they have been obliged to return to
port for new supply of provisions.
The Company's line of navigation, which is in
tended to obviate all this difficulty, is about sixty
five miles in length, and commences in North Caro-
lima at the mouth Of North Rivera wide and deep
tributary of Albemare Sound-extending up that
river to the eanal-through the canal to
Currtuck Sound-through Currtuck Sound
and up the North Landing river to the
canal to the. Southwest branch of Elizabeth
river in the vicinity of Norfolk. The total length
of both canals is a little more than fourteen miles,
in North Carolina from North River to Curri-
tuck Sound, and in Virginia through the Great
Bridge swamp, connecting Currituck Sound
with Elizabeth river. The residue of the
line consists of natural water courses and va
ries in width from two hundred feet to several
miles. There is but one lock on the route, which
is situated at the junction of the canal with Eliza
beth river. 1t is the largest the Atlantic coast
and only exceeded in size by two in the UNITED
STATEs-Eeing two hundred and twenty feet in
length by forty feet in width in the clear 1t is of
solid cut stone masonry, from the granite quarries
of Port Deposit, and is built in the most substan-
tal manner, with all the modern improvements.
1t is tidelock, with average lift of only about
two feet-possessing a draught of water at all
times of eight feet, with capacity to pass propel-
Ter of five hundred tons. "On the completion of
''the lock there will be a continuous channel
'through the entire line and if thought advisable
"the line can be opened for smaller vessels
''by the first of March next, (last) and
''withn the next twelve or fifteen months
'the canal can be fully completed, and all
''the necessary improvement of the rivers and
fsounds accomplished so that there shall be a
complete navigation, with depth of eight feet
''water from the Albemarle to the Chesapeake"
Thus has quietly progressed, almost to the point
of completion, one of the most important enter
prises of the day, the practical effect of which
will be to double the length of the Chesapeake
Bay, and TO open up to the enterprise of our mer-
chants by route the most direct and entirely
free from danger-a navigation of about eighteen
hundred miles, into remarkably fertile and
productive region, embracing an area of about
twelve thousand square miles-a territory consid-

LATTER FROM HAYTI

By the arrival of the Ariel at New York. from
Prince, we have later advices from the Re-
public of Hayti.
The island continued quiet, under the new Gov
ernment with the exception of few dissatisfied
old place-hoders of the former Government But
the populace in general are so unanimous in their
appreciation of President Geffrard, that nothing is
to be feared from those discontinued.
The President makes himself very popular
amongst all, and especially the Habitants or coun-
try people; because, instead of issuing proclama-
lions in the French language which the greater
part of the people cannot understand, he goes to
different parts of the country and town. and in per-
son, and in the Creole tongue, tells them what he
wishes.
Never, suppose, was better commencement
made by any new Government-and if Hayti does
not thrive under President Geffrard's rule, then
there can be more hope for Hayti than for Mexi-
CO. Freedom of speech is now tolerated, besides
many of the soldiers discharged from the regu-
lar army, and entered in the National Guard.
The Government are using all their powers to do
away with the old tax of the fths, but, up to the
present. on account of the very low state of the
Treasury, they were unable so to do.
Inc government are anxious that emigration
from tDe coiored part of the American population
should take place; they will be gladly welcomed to
their shores and not taken in and wronged as thew
were in the former emigration. '''''
1t is possible that, after a while. st Dom;rro
may once more be in commercial relations with tb;s
part of the island; if SO, it will be a great mutmaI
benefit.

The NIAGARRs NEWS AMONG THE New York
MERcHA fs.-The Herald says: The news brought
by the Niagara, though quite meager, did not fail
yesterday to produce considerable excitement and
discussion among commercial men.
~ The point which attracted most attention was
the three days ultimatum of Austria, which some
regarded equivalent to declaration of war
against Sardinia The subject was freely comment
ed on, both by French and German merchants, as
we'll as by Americans. 1t would seem that ma
jority of our French merchants, and probably of
our French fellow citizens generally, were decided
ly anti-Austrian in their feelings, and in cases
gave animated vent to their views on the subject
They considered that the ultimatum of the three
DAVIS was little better than menace, if n a cha-
lenge to France, and that if war unfortunately
ensued, she must be considered as the first agrees
sor. The German merchants as usual, took matters
cody, and said but little. What few Austrians
there were among them also said but Titles but
when speaking on the subject with Americans, they
in some cases defended the right of Austria to
maintain her Italian possessions against all attacks
even should result from the legitimate pro
lection of her Lo nbardoV enetian subjects The re-
representatives. from other parts of Germany and of
Holland appeared to hold neutral ideas in reference
sentiment among the merchants. So far as the
Spanish feeling could be judged of, it opposed
to the war, without any decided expression of pre-
ferences on the subject.
The question chiefly discussed among American
merchants was as to what effect the war, should it
occur, would have upon the interest of the United
States? 1t thought that it would benefit our
shipping and CARRYING trade, and help breadstufs
and provisions, while cotton might to extent,
be in jured by it, Naval stores have already i'm
proved in anticipation of the war; and it may also
be remarked that saltpetre has naturally advanced
from the same cause, and that large lots now
held on speculation.
The opinion seemed to be that at first it might
affect American securities unfavorably, but that
should it become serious or threaten wide extent
in its range, it would ultimately benefit them;
because moneyed in Europe, on feeling insecure,
would again do as they did in the Continental
revolutions of ls4s-send large sums of money to
this country for investment in the better class of
our bonds and stocks.
