demand has of late been more considerable, and the prices are a shade higher. But so extensive is the importations, and so great is the stock on hand, that no material improvement can be expected in this article, particularly in the present languid and depressed state of the manufacturing interests. The quantity also expected from the United States, and other places, is very great. The Cotton market, therefore, must remain nearly stationary, or but slowly improve.- -Corn. In consequence of the very changeable and unusually cold weather during the month of June, the price of every kind of Grain has advanced. Á few days of warm weather, early this month, threw a damp on the market, which the changeable weather may again remove. The crops, however, in general look well; and though later than last year, still there appears no serious ground for apprehension, that there will be any thing particularly unfavourable in the approaching harvest. The ports are now shut against Foreign Grain.--Rum. The Rum market has become very heavy. The sale of Geneva is also very dull. The accounts from France, as to the approaching vintage, is unfavourable, and the consequences are expected to be felt in the Brandy market, though the quantity on hand at present is very considerable. In any other article of commerce usually enumerated by us, there is no alteration sufficient to merit notice. In this publication we had hoped to have been able to have given an account of the revival of trade, and more cheerful prospects for the commercial interests of the country. We are disappointed. The stagnation of all kinds of business continues, and is extreme, perhaps unprecedented. Numerous and severe failures cover the face of the manufacturing districts with distress and dismay, while the dreadful depreciation of all manufacturing property has swept away from thousands the labour and the profits of years. This depreciation in value amounts in many instances to more than 30 per cent. To attempt to arrest the progress of this consuming evil serves only to aggravate it. Every market is glutted, and confidence is gone at home-money scarce, and only to be procured on the best securities. The most gloomy accounts are daily received from foreign markets. The loss. on Cotton, Grain, and Wool, and the very great depreciation on all manufactured goods, if accurately known, and added together, would form a sum scarcely credible. Perhaps it is not overrating the total loss on every kind of trade, on all exports and imports since last year, at fifteen millions. Things, however, cannot remain much longer in their present state. Better days, and more cheerful prospects, are at hand. The trade of this country will resume its usual vigour, and be carried on with greater stability and security. The public funds maintain their value. The revenues of the country increase rather than decrease. The demand from foreign markets is within these few days beginning to revive, and sales of different articles can now be effected. Any hasty revival of trade, however, is scarcely to be expected, and hardly to be wished for; as when the latter becomes the case, it is seldom upon a permanent foundation. The defeat of the marauding expedition of Sir Gregor McGregor, has averted great commercial distress from this country. Possession of Porto Bello and Chague would have cut off the whole trade of Jamaica, (almost the only trade now left us,) with all the Spanish possessions on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Across the isthmus of Darien it is all carried, and there the supplies from Jamaica go to Peru and Chili on the south, and the town and western territories of Mexico on the north. Of late years credit has been extended in this trade. The Spanish merchant takes away one cargo on credit, and pays for what he formerly got. Thus, therefore, it may be said, there was a cargo in Peru, &c.-one on the road thereto, and one on the passage from this country, or in Jamaica. All were placed in jeopardy by M'Gregor's operations. The first and second might have been wholly lost, and the last rendered almost useless. The extent of this trade is about two millions annually. The loss of such sum, in the present embarrassed state of commercial affairs, would have been severe indeed. M'Gregor's discomfiture has taken away the danger, and relieved the merchant, manufacturer, and labourer, from an additional and severe load of embarrassment, loss, and distress.

The maximum temperature has never approached nearer than eleven degrees and a half to the maximum of June 1818, and eight degrees to that of 1817. The mean temperature has also declined 4 degrees, and is actually a degree lower than that of 1817. The minimum has never been lower than 414; but in consequence of a clear atmosphere, the ground has been frequently at the freezing point, and vegetation, especially during the last part of the month, has made little progress. The mean of the extreme temperatures differs, from that of 10 morning and evening, only by three tenths of a degree. The daily range of the Thermometer is almost exactly the same as June last year. The mean height of the Barometer is nearly the annual average, and the fluctuations have been rather less than usual. Of the rain, about an inch and a half fell on the 20th, and three following days. On the day that the rain began, the Hygrometer stood higher than at any other period during the month; and the Barometer, which had previously sunk about three tenths, began again to rise, and continued to do so till the rain was over. The average quantity of moisture, in a hundred cubic inches of air, is somewhat less than June 1818, the one being .21 and the other .23 of a grain. The relative humidity, however, is three degrees greater, owing to the higher temperature of last year. The point of deposition, at 10 A. M. coincides exactly with the mean minimum temperature, and affords another proof of the accuracy of Anderson's Principles of Hygrometry. The temperature of spring water, which, in consequence of the mildness of the winter and spring, had been considerably higher than during the corresponding months of 1817, has now fallen behind that of last year, being about four degrees lower than at the same period last summer. The increase, however, since the month of May, has been considerable. |
