all descriptions ofgrain flour, from stronger in dications of reduced stocks in the country, and a steady demand from some of the inte r iorinar«ets. A large business has been done in American flour at 3*s a 10s per hid, ll\g latter being for the best Western, and at those prices the market remains firm and steady. Indian Corn has also been going off more freely, and is saleable at 52s a 54s per qua-Rer; Indian corn meal 25s a 2Gs (id per bid. The coin markets of France, Holland and Belgium, .after a temporary depression, have ralied, and are decidly advancing agipn, which has doubtless contributed to the improvi ment in our market, and in the last few days the purchases of grain for the ex [torts to the continent have been resumed in London. The continued export of gold, reaction in the corn morket indicating large wants of for reign supplies than was before supposed, have produced great stringency in the money market. The Bank of England has not onlvr advanced i's minimum rate of interest to lie per cent, hut virtually by the strinent regulation it lias adopted in discounts, has made the general rate at six per cent, even on bills at two month-, and declines altogether to discount paper maturing after the end of June There has not yet been time to see the full effects of this upon the produce markets. The last sale of turpentine was at lls Id per cwt. for fair quality American; rosin dull at 4s 9d perevvt. Yours respectfully. P. S. Monday, 19th April.—The monnv pres sure has been m ich more severely felt to-dav than previously, and has thrown the cotton market quite aback.

HAVRE, April 17.— CoVon. —Up to the close of the last week the flatness continued to predomi nate in the. transactions, and ordinary New Or leans cotton for delivery, experienced a decline of sf; on Monday at the opening, owing to orders re ceived from Liverpool, about 1900 bales changed bands, descriptions which had before receded, nearly recovered the ground they had lost; impulse merely transitory,on the following day symptom of animation had disappeared, yesterday our mar ket had assumed a dull aspect,operations confined to the immediate wants for consumption; sales ver trifling,am prices may he written at If to 2 below those at the close of our last report; advices of the 17th ult.. from the United States were upon the whole of a satisfactory tenor, but they were not productive of any material change; trade continues unnropitious, buyers evince so decided a reluc tance to pnreha e beyond their most urgent ne cessities. no improvement can pus. ihly accrue.— The protracted clearness in breadstuff's, which has somewhat increased wiihin the last few davs, coupled wnh the unfavorable situa ion of money matter:-, are also serious obstacles to amendment. Just as we were going to press, received advices to 17th stating that the cotton market has been slack throughout the week,owing principally to ac counts received from almost all the manufacturing towns in France of the bad condition of the manu facturers, who are universally reducing their bands; news, however, which has arrived hereto day, via England, of the state of the cotton crop in Araeri« a, has induced holders to believe that the markets will nor be glutted, notwithstanding the few demands they have upon them, they do not feel disposed to sell at a low figure; -ales .561 hales New Orleans 82 fa 99 f 56<h10- .Mobile 73f a 80, 1,023 do.

The judges gave opinion that the grey horse would have won the heat, but that there was foul riding by his Jockey. Time 2 46. 2nd. heat—won by Mrs. Caudle—Time 2.53. Harlaem Boy took the studs when one third round and stopped for a few seconds almost still, enabling the mare to make a wide distance between her and the horse, which be could not make up. 3rd. heat—won by Mrs. Caudle—Time 2.62. Harlaem Boy was very obstinate anl as in the second heat, owing to this cause, the horses could not be started till after several efforts, consuming much time and patience. The result proved that if the mare was not the most fleet, she was at least the most reliable and the safest to bet upon. Before the race Harlaem Boy vvas the favorite at two to one. These odds were given till after the second heat, after which there was but little betting. To-day there will be an interesting con test for a purse of SSO.

The object of the meet ng was then slated bv the Chairman, when the following preamble and resolution was unan imously adopted; As many oLonr citizens who have attend ed the able and instructive lectures of Dr. Bovnton, are demons of availing themselves of his present visit to obtain from him ad ditional instruction, therefore. Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the Chair to wait upon Dr. Boyn ton, to express our high gratification with his Lectures and request him to dtdiver an other course of Lectures on Natural Science —or such of its branches as he may himself select. The Chair nominated Dr. Paul F. Eve, Dr. Joseph Milligan and Win. T. Gould, Esq., said Committee; who after waiting upon Dr. Boynton again introduced him to the audi ence, Dr. B in a few neat and appropriate remarks expressed his thanks for the man ner in'which he had been received by the cit zens of this city, and his gratification at their approval of his lectures.

Old Dominion , Portsmouth, IV. WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHER RY. We seldom resort to patent medicines, having a great respect for the skill of the medical profes sion, but chance threw into our way the above named medicine, immediately after the close of the lute session of the Legislature, wh- n our lungs were almo.-t dried up by the highly ratified atmosphere of our stove-wanned Stale-house. The Balsam immediately relieved us of a most harassing cough, which threatened our health in a serious degree.

COTTON.—The Caledonia’s advices came to hnn«l on Sunday evening per telegraph, and our market opened yesterday with a good enquiry. The stringent prices, however, demanded by hold ers, in a measure checked operations. The few sales which took place were at an advance of I a 4c. on rh- prices paid Saturday. The quan fity of sering is limited, both sellers and buyers appear ing willing to await the receipt of their foreign letters, which came to hand last evening.

On W ednesday the telegraphic outline of these accounts in the newspapers came through. 'Phe sales on that day were estimated at 10U0 bales, at prices reported in the morning— say lOfa BRc. for middlings. Thursday the litters per steamer Cambria came to hand, w ith which parlies were for the most part occupied till near tlie close of business hours. 'Phe accounts receiv ed by express, as also those by the newspapers, were confirmed, and were regarded as being of a favorable character for cotton. Extracts from circulars and papers, giving the de ails, have been given elsewhere it. our columns. tSales of that day were nut large, hut at improving rates. Friday there was a better inquiry, resulting in the sale of some 1500 to 2000 ha les. For the last three davs, a good demand has prevailed, running to a consid erable extent on the finerquaiiiies, which are there fore relatively higher in our scale of quotations. Yesterday there was a litt’e less done, it is be lieved from the fact, that rumor obtained some currency iu the nerving that the Sarah Sands’ accounts, several days later than the Cambria’s and of a still more favorable character, were in the city by private express. The rumor was un true; but these accounts are fully due. and all par ties seem rather disposed to wait a lilt e for their arrival. 'Phe bin ingf* r a few days past has been mostly for the North, w ith some to comolete car goes for foreign ports.

Our last report left the Cotton market in a very unsettled stale, ?s holders were contending for a larger advance in prices than buyers were inclined to accede to, and business, therefore, was quite at a stand when we. closed our review on Friday. On Saturday a somewhat similar slate of tilings existed, though there was rather more willingness to sell on the nan of some factors, and a few lots changed hands, amounting In about Isoobales. On Monday there was quite an active enquiry, a ru mor having prevailed that the accounts by the Sarah Sands were in the hands of some parties, in a vaoce of (lie mail. Indeed a highly respectable house received a Idler from Mobile, staling that the Sarah Sands’ news had been received there, and that the Cotton market at Liverpool had ad vanred an }d afterllie Cambria left, with sales on the srh of lOjOi’O bales. This intelligence led to increased firmness on the part of factors, and the sales, w Inch amounted to about 35 0 bales, were made at rates fully up to, and in some instances a fraction above, our Saturday’s quotations. Yes terday, (be mail having come through as late as due, it was found that the rumored arrival of the Sarah Sand*’accoun - was at least a mistake; but nevertheless there continued to he a fair enquiry for Colton, and some 4000 bales w ere sold, the Ifglit, supply offering, and the very full prices claimed, preventing more, extended operations. 'Phe total sales of tiie three days sum up 9000 bales, taken mostly for England and the North, and the closing rates, which are favorably in fluenced by a sudden deline in freights, and a ra id advance in exchanges, are 4 a 4 of a cent higher thaw our quotations ot S iturday last, w th but little oU : rmg at the advanced figures.
