The navigation returns for the month of June show a considerable increase of Bri- tish tonnage. The United States maintain their position for maritime progress. In the year ending June, 1856, the vessels entered inward belonging to that country were nearly one-third of the whole of the British tonnage, they exceed the tonnnage of all other countries. The trade between us and the Union must always exercise a powerful influence in repelling those hellicose feel- ings which now and then break out on both sides of the Atlantic. Nothing l'or instance, can be in finer taste than the fra- ternal address which the citizens of Penn- sylvania have sent to the people of Liver- pool and Manchester in reply to similar do- cunients lorwarded by the President of the Financial Reform Association ot' this town and by our neighbors on the lrwell, when the fears of a war between the two coun- began to prevail. Such interchanges of kindly feeling on the part of two great na- tions, ll.l\'lllg,S0 many sympathies in common can hardly. lll at moral sense, he overrated. It is pleasant also to perceive that the dig- nified conduct of the British Government in allowing Mr. Dallas to remain after the dismissal of Mr. Crampton, has already told sensibly on the American mind, as an act of generous forbearance which a great people only can appreciate and a great peo- ple only can judge of. Every one knew, both in this country and in the United States, that the object in sending Mr. Crampton home—in fact, in seeking ii quarrel with him at all-—was not to displease Great Britain but to promote the re-election of Pr. Pierce? and the time selected for this apparent affront was shortly before the meeting of the Cincinnati convention, so t that Mr. Pierce might say to that body, “see, what a bold fellow I am—-[ have thrown down the gauntlet to Great Britain!” Ifa ruse so transparent as this had inﬂuen- ced Lord Palmei'ston’s Government, it u would have paid the ‘penalty of its blindness in immediate dissinissal; but the ministry as well as the nation noted a digniﬁed part —we returned good for evil, and we are now reaping the reward of our discretion in that increased prestige which follows a de- termination to forego the use of conscious strength.

Yorkshire is a spirited country, and the “Sheffield grinders” are not only sharp but very patriotic fellows. They have in the person of Mr. Roebuck one of the most pugilistic members of the Legislature, a man who is always right, because his purposes are unselﬁsh, and he is supported by a constituency as “honest as steel.” This week Shefiield has been entertaining the oﬂicers of the (th Royal Irish Dra- goonsto dinner in the Cutlei-‘s-hall.

The Royal Mail Company intend to sell several of their older ships, which in the meantime are to be moored in the Southampton Water, while the Penin- sular Company will draught off a portion of their suitable screws to assist in per- forming the mail-service in lndia. Hndl the Government decided upon adjutlicating to this company the conveyance of the mails to Australia, they could immediately have placed efficient vessels upon the route. The General Screw Company's ves- sels for the present are to remain at South- ampton, and their future use, will, no doubt, depend upon -the itrran emeuts which may be made with the Freiic Clip- per Company.

The glorious weather wtih which we have been favoured has been one of the most important features in the_ commercial history ol'the' present week, and from the state of the thermometer to-day, there is every reason to hope for its continuance for some time longer. So hot and forcing has the weather been lately, that in‘sevcral of the southern counties the wheat harvest is likely to commence next week, and to be- come general during the following. In the midland and northern counties, however, the crops are not so mature ; but under the influence of such favourable sunshine and heat as we now enjoy, there is every reason

The grain markets, as might be antici- pated from the hot forcing weather, have been much affected, and prices have given way uniformly for every article in the trade throughout the country. The favourable

rospects of the harvest have raised the ivellfounded impression that the farmers will now exhibit more disposition to push their grain into the markets, while the fa- vourable change in the weather has brought pretty good supplies from forei n places into our ports.
