Seventeen of the diseased cattle which were 
lately intercepted at MillcBton, found their way to

slaughter house in Stanton street, but the inspector 
was too late. Four of them had been cut up and 
retailed among some of the residents of the thirteenth 
ward. The remaining one died in the pen adjoining 
the slaughter house. The dead carcass was 6eut to 
the offal grounds where it was discovered by the 
inspector. Dr. Jienjamin Howard, Pathologist to 
the Sanitary Committee of the Board of Health, was 
officially sent last week to witness the slaughtering 
of cattle at Bulls Head and make scientific ob¬ 
servations. 
The drovers report that by direction of Gov. Fen¬ 
ton, the examinations of cattle at Albany are very 
thorough, and all which appear to be suffering, even

In 1807 the revenue amounted to 131,560,532,31, and

sponse from that gentleman expressing his reverence 
for the Constitution of the United States, and his 
ardent desire for a complete union of the States, as

ter to the United States from Mexico, writes from 
the Capital of that country that he finds it more 
certain than n ever was before that public peace is 
permanently restored in Mexico, and that there is 
but little danger of any serious disturbance in the 
future. There is only one insignificant rebellion in 
the mountains of Puebla, he says, which will soon 
be subdued and which gives no cause for alarm. 
The financial situation is also satisfactory. Mr. Ro¬ 
mero has again taken charge of the Department of 
the Treasury of Mexico, which position he held be¬ 
fore his mission to this country. His representations 
are gratifying. Meantime there come reports of the 
usual number of robberies, murders, &c., from that

In general merchandise tbe Eastern markets show very 
little activity. A large number of merchants from tbe West

Tbe commercial stimulant of abundant crops has aroused a 
general expectation that there is to be a good fall trade, hut 
it Is late in commencing. September may produce a radical

Wool.—T be New York market last week was rather active. 
Speculators, however, were larger buyers than manufactur¬ 
ers. The market was less active In Boston than for two or 
three weeks previous, gales of domestic, last week loot up 
only about 300,000 lbs., at a range of 42®«0c. for fleece, and 
87)i@50c. for the various grades of pulled. The Bulletin 
says:—*• This falling off In trade, however, Is not the result 
Of any diminution of Confidence on the- part of buyers, who 
readily pay the lute advance of 2@3c. pur lb. on desirable
