By John Hughes, A.B. Forsalo by i. vv, iol Main st, OFFICE OF THE LOUISVILLE COURIER, Wednesday Evening, June 21, 7 P. M. STATE OF TRADE.

At the date of our last we noticed a falling off in trade; receipts as becoming lighter, and business of every kind on the decline, and more restricted in amount and extentof operations; since then there has been mo improvement, but if anything a further depression, and the past has certainly been tlie dullest week of the season. The river has become too low for large class steamers to reach Portland, and on this account freights to New Orleans have advanced; in fact, it was impossible to ship to-day at any price, there being but one boat for the South, and she has all her car go engaged, this will doubtless have some effect upon the market for leading articles such as Rope, Bagging, Pro visions, iSzc, and will tend to restrict the demand and prevent any material advance in prices. Some changes have occurred during the week which are more particu larly noticed in our remarks below. Amongst the receipts of the week are 66 hhds, and 33 boxes Tobacco; 491 baleSiHemp; G05 bbls, 4S half bbls Flour; 40 sacks, 350 bushels 749 bbls Whisky; S7 bales Cotton; JSGbags Cotton Yarns; 1099 pieces Bagging; 1122 coils Rope; G4 casks, 11,000 lba Bacon; 10 bbls, kegs Lard; 47 boxes Cheese; G5 casks Flaxseed; 250 kegs White Lead; 105 tons Pig Metal; 599 bales," Id tons Hay; 15 sacks Feathers; 510 kegs Nails; 219sacks and bundles Rags; 34 bbls, 82 half bbls Beer and. Ale; 15G Green Hides; 87 Dry Hides; 1-1 bbls Oil; 19 bales Twine; 13 boxes Tinplate; 49 bales Batting; G31 boxes and half boxcs'Glass and Glassware; 249 bundles paper; 3 bbls Alcohol: 5 sacks Ginseng: 26 roHs Leather; 145 kegs Powder; 5 bbls Vinegar; 25 bales Jeans and Lind-seys; IS bales Warps; 20 bushels Corn Meal; 89,000 shingles; 14 bales Moss; SO bushels Bran; 33 bales Sheet ings; 20 bales Candle Wick; bales Wool.

Receipts of GROCERIES continue very light, and are much less the past than during'any previous week this season, say 12 hhds, 21 boxes, 128 bbls Sugar; 320 sacks Coffee; 10 double chests, 60 half chests, 43 boxes Tea; 5 quarter cask, 1G half pipes, GO boxes, 21 bbls Wine; 75 bbls Alum; 70 bbls Turpentine; 143 bbls Mackerel; 11 casks Saleratus; 30 bbls Brimstone; 10 Sacks Pimento; 25 bags Pepper; 48 boxes Cigars; 22 bbls, 45 boxes Or anges; 170 boxes Lemons; 45 boxes, 65 half boxes Rai-sins; 21 boxes THE CROPS. Nearly all the Wheat in this vicinity has ben cut, and several crops are now ready for market. The yield has been most abundant, and the quality never better. The Oat and other small grain.hirvests are near at hand, and by the latter end of the present month all will have been secured. The Corn and Potato crops are coming on with great rapidity, and are much improved by recent rains.

Tobacco and Hemp suffered most by the last long spell of dry weather; the former is however; doing much better than was expected, but the latter wa are told, and particularly in the northern part of the State, will prove an almost total failure. WEATHER AND RIVER. The weather has been generally warm, too much so for comfort, but night before last a heavy rain fell and the temperature has been milder since; it Is now very agreeable for outdoor busi- ness, but from appearances it will soon be hot again. The river is lower than it has been before this season, and is stili on the decline; from this to Cincinnati feet is all that is reported on the bars. There is less than feet in the canal by the mark, but boats continue to pass through drawing j4 feet; several boats are aground below, and much difficulty is experienced in crossing New Albany bar, on which there is scant 5 On the bars between thatlpoint and the mouth the officers of the steamer Cin cinnati, the last boat up, report from 5 to feet.

From all and every indication we are to have extreme low wa ter and much detention in navigation for some time to come. FREIGHTS. In consequence of the low stage of the river freights have advanced materially to every quar. ter. There is none shipping to-day except on the packet to Cincinnati, and it would be hard to say what engage engagements could be made at.

There is no boat in port receiving for New Orleans. The steamer Chancellor completed her cargo yesterday at 25c per 100 lbs, and 75c peibbl, delivered at Portland; 30 and 80c would no doubt be asked to-day, if not higher rates. BAGGING AND BALE ROPE. Receipts during the week amount to 1099 pieces, and 1122 coils. A fair demand has existed and rates are higher than at the date of our last weekly report say sales 1500 pes, and about the same number of coils during the week at prices ranging from 11 to 12c, and from ojj to Gc.

A sale of 280 pes and 2S0 coils was made yesterday on an order at GaGic, and 12al2c, but notwithstanding limited lots of Rope can be still bought at Gc, and good bagging at 12c cash. TOBACCO. Receipts by the river for the week amount to only 56, and sales to less than 100 hhds. At the Planter's Warehouse, 35 hhds were sold, most of them second and third qualities. To-day 12 hhds were sold as follows: 1 hhd "Thirds" at 150; 1 at 1 70; 1 at $180; 1 hhd.

"Seconds" at 20; 2 at 33 35; 1 at S3 45; 1 at 3 50, 55perl001bs. There is little or no improvement in the market, and sales have ranged as about last quoted: say "Thirds" from 1 to 2c; "Second" from 2 to 3c; "Firsts from 2J to4c; extra manufacturing leaf from 5 tooc per lb. HEMP. Since the date of our last the Hemp market has undergone no change. Receipts during the week amount to 491 bales, the largest portion from St.

Louis and bought and sent here on manufacturers account. The last sale reported was made on Monday. tons loose Ky. dew-rotted at $1 50 per cwt, cash. Holders of prime Mo.

dew-rotted still ask 4 G2.a4 75, but they find difficulty in procuring purchasers at these figures. We quote the best article in the market at Jgl G0a4 G2 and common lots at $4 25a4 37 per cwt, and the market very dull. No sales of water rotted. LEAD. No lots of any size selling.

Soft Galena may be quoted in small parcels to manufacturers at 3a3gc. No demand for large lots. Sales of bar Lead as heretofore at 4a4Jc per lb. COTTON AND COTTON YARN. Nothing doing in Cotton, and- the best article on the market is offered at 5 r5c without purchasers.

Inferior may be quoted as low as 4c- Sales of Yarns continue limited with no alteration from last week's prices. Regular agents for the Pitts-burgh manufactories still ask 7 and Sc for the different runibers, and when in large lots 5 per cent off; but there are others who are underselling these figures, and offer perhaps as inducement to gain customers, goodyarnsat 5, GJ and 7 without any deduction. DRY GOODS. The Dry Goods trade Is very dull at present, and nothing of importance has been doing in this line for several weeks past. Previous quotations for heavy Cottons and staple articles remain unchanged.

WHISKY. Receipts of Raw by the river for the week amount to 749 bbls. The market has been quite steady, and the article in good demand at In the forepart of the week a few sales were made at 15c, but since, the price has been uniformly at lojfor large, and loc for small lots. Sales of Rectified from store in 10, 20, aiul30bbl lots at and some low proof as low as 15c. METAL.

To-day we notice the arrival of 165 tons Hanging Rock metal, no other receipts during the week; a sale of 10 tons, hot blast Tennesso, in the forepart of the week at 33; 30 tons of cold blast at S27a2S, and a sale of 10 tons hot blast yesterday at 30. Hanging Rock may be quoted at S2Sa30 for cold, and 33a35 for hot blast. GROCERIES. Receipts light and the market for most articles in this line without animation. Yesterday 132 hhds prime La.

Sugar sold at auction at 3ga3jc, as follows: 4 hhds at-3; 33 in lots at 3f, and the residue 95 hhds to a Cincinnati purchaser at 3gc, cash; sales in the regular way range from 4 to 4o for good and choice lots. Very little has been done in Coffee beyond tho regular trade sales from store. Prime Rio still sells at 7a7f, fair7a7c; about 300 barrels of Molasses have been sold, two hundred prime plantation in two lots at 24ic, and the remainder at 22a23c for common, and 24a25o for good and prime in small lots. Some very thin has been sold as low as 21a22c per gallon. Sales of small lots common S.

Fit ankfort SEA GULL, m. Madame Bishop's Concert. Notwithstanding the inclemency of last even ing, the fame of Madame Bishop drew out a laig and fashionable audience, that filled the Odd Fel lows' Hall. Those who were present were more than repaid for their visit, for. there never was any approach made here to the excellencies of thb concert.

Signor Valtellina is an excellent bass singer. His voice is good, he is accurate in his time, and feels some of the inspiration of the music he sings. But what, light could shine in the neighborhood ofsuchastar as Madame Bishop? We have long felt a keen desire to hear this great caniatrice, one of the very small number of musical wonders now in the world. The world has in all ages admired that power of mind that enchains and carries captive the feelings of the and the forces of other minds. Eloquence is ever powerful, let it assume what form it may.

and music is one of its most graceful, engaging and most persuasive forms. The oratory ofDe- mosthenes was not more successful in arming Athens against Philip, of Macedou, than the songs of Tyrtasus were in rousing Greece against Persia. The vast range of Madame Bishop in vocaliza tion is a marvel to us. Neither Cinti Damoreau nor Caradori Allen made any approach to her in in this respect. Nature has done great things for her in endowing her with great musical organs, but the gifts would have been thrown away if she had not cultivated these natural powers almost to perfection.

For this arduous and persevering study Madame Bishop deserves great praise; she has made us. understand more perfectly than we ever did before the capacity of the human voice, and the infinite power and beauty of music. The connoisseur who understands what grace and beauty lie between in the first space and flat in is prepared to know what to expect from a pure soprano of the most perfect taste, flexibility, and undeviating power, ranging between those points in the scale. Her articulation is very dis- tinct, and perfectly unsmothered, no matter how rapidly, she runs either the diatonic or chromatic scale. Her intervals are perfectly distinct, and her trills, cadenzas and roulades are not only orna ments, butseem to be essential parts of the music.

We were amazed with the perfection of her sosle- nuto, for both in its crescendo and diminuendo it ows no blemish her register is perfect. And throughout all these graces of music, the voice rings as clear as a bell. In short she adds to the perfections of the English school of music, the light, airy graces of the Italians, and reveals herself the very embodiment of musical perfection. She never seems to feel that there is such a thing as a difficulty in music, such is the ease with which she walks through the highest reaches her art, and she has this great merit in such pas sages over all others we have ever heard they make us sensible that they have surmounted a dif ficulty, she makes us feel that she has given it hues of undying beauty. The dramatic excellence of Madame Bishop is not the least of her charms.

She gives great expressiveness to everything she sings, and there is a naturalness in all her actions, a jbyousness and feeling in all the movements of her music that seem to say these aie "native wood-notes wild," and are not the perfections of art, so perfectly aoncealed are they, that they seem to be nature herself. Who that heard that brilliant cavatina," Ah ome ever forget the tones that marked it deep upon the memory? Never have we heard such melody, such divine harmony. In the ballad, on the "banks of the Guadalquiv-er," from the opera of Loretta, she gave us a stream of delicious flowing melody, which came sparkling with lightsome steps reminding us of the summer's rill playing its way through the enamelled mead. The brilliant shako in this piece was the finest thing we ever heard from the human voice. The "come per me sereno" of Bellini, known in the English version as "Oh! love for me thy power," showed Madame Bishop's versatility in a very striking light.

The soft, melting beauties of this piece were given in all their native beauty, and if Bellini could have heard them he would have felt that his ideal had become a reality. We have been under the impression that we had heard ballad-singing, but we acknowledge our mistake. We never heard anything like Madame Bishop's execution of "John Anderson," and "the last Rose of Summer." We have not space, however, now to say all we wished of this wonderful music, and must defer our remarks for to-morrow. Madame Bishop gives her second and last Concert on Friday evening, and it would be worth a long journey to hear her aing "Casta Diva" from Norma, and "Auld Robin Gray." We shall say more of the Programme to-morrow. Yesterday was a dull day for Levee business.

From daylight until dark there were but four steamboat arrivals, and about the same number of departures. The river is getting too low for even medium-3ized boats but 4 1-2 feet water are reported on the flats, and scant 4 feet on Portland bar and from thence to the Mississippi 5 1-2 feet on the principal bars. OSThe news we publish this morning In our telegraphic despatches is unusually interesting. It will be observed that frightful insurrections have occurred at Martinique and Porto Rico. The English Government, it will be seen, has taken possession of some important points in Central America, and enforced laws relative to tariff and tonnage duties.

M. The brig Columbia arrived from Martinique and brings overy many planters who have escaped the terrible revolution ofthe Slaves hi that island. The whites have been fearfully massacred, and great barbarities have been practised. Some families "were shut up in houses and burned. The revolution commenced at Spierre.

The Govern ment instead of calling out the soldiers to quell the revolution, proclaimed the abolition of slavery as directed by the French Republic. Under these circumstances all the whites fled could. Fears are entertained that further attrocities will be perpetrated unless assistance be sent to the inhabitants.

New Orleans, Tuesday Night, June 12. Our market has generally been quite dull during the past three days, the weather having been unfavorable for business most of the time.

No very marked changes have taken place citherin Cotton, Provisions or Grain, though prices of the two latter articles, as well as of Flour, have rather a downward tendency. Cotton Since tho slight decline spoken of in our last report as occasioned by the unfavorable tenor or the Niagara's news, no material change has occurred in our market, though the transactions have been unusually limited. The sales of Monday were about about 2000 bales, generally at steady prices, though a rumor of the Acadia's news being in the hands ol" certain parties by express cheeked operations in the afternoon the accounts being rumored to be less unfavorable, tlieales have not exceeded 3000 bales, at irregular but easier rates. Thus the saJes of the three day are 7500 bales, taken Jor England, the North and France. We continue our last quotation for the present: NEW ORLEANS CLASSIFICATION.
