?;E v .V-YORK, July 13, 13-50.
Tim British Queeu arrived this morning, and her news
will he tin" nutter of interest with you. In politics, there
is nothing except that the Queen of England had been
shot at wiuls riding out, if tiie.t is politics. The sales of
( olton, both at Liverpool and Havre, ware large and ’pro
duced some little advance ;;i price. But tlie letters attri
bute tli” niovexisnt to the news of inundations carried out
by the Queen. The Englishmen seem to suppose that
inert of t ie cotton-growing country lies on the Snvanu.ih !
River. The movement being founded in error, has, of |
I course, produced no effect here, though it is considered a |
! ivorable indicate* t that so much could bo sold. The ac- j
counts arc favorable to the crops of England, and iu all
respects, it seems to me, Eng and is getting out of her
, temporary trouldes. Money m itters were in a good wav,
but it is ipi.t ; ev iieat tiiat money is finding more and bet
ter employment than it bad, twenty years ago.
The sales o' I Holton in this market have been 3200 biles 1
for the week, chiotly to spinners. Upland a d Florida at j
7 a 9‘.; Mobile, 7] a i!; and .Vow Orleans, 7- a 10). There ;

“There w as a steady husiucss during the tv, o first weeks,
buyers and sellers met lively and prices w ore well sup
ported with a leaning, however, in i’uvor of the bn vers.
“During th ■ third week we had advices by the British
Queen io the Ist June, mentioning serious damage done
by inundations to the Cotton crop iu the southwest, there
was c.ure ine.-t.l_v a i increased v.esire to j.urchnse, which
was met readily by tne importers, and a considerable busi
ness .> .is transacted at nearly the former prices, except in
mu! iliiigan-i ordinary qnaiiti S, which were a trifle higher.
“The cojifirmmton o the advices respecting the inun- .
dili n = and their e\l •nsiou into Georgia, as ativited by :
letters to tin; 7m inst. received this we *k, k q*t tiie specu- |

ot Iters were willing to acc qjt full prices, wliieh were of- 1
t 'red, and thus tiie advance was limited to-J.l, pe it), upon j
qjalities up io middling American Cotton. There is a !
good >!■' !of firm ness m if sled in the market in resisting j
low offers. Our qnoi itions for American descriptions are f
nearly tliesame as in our report of the 3d Jnii”, except for '
sea i>l aid, which are d peril*, higher in or inary and mid- |
dling qu.ditics. Brazils we reduce since then ..d per 11*. :
Egyptians ami S a rats id per lb. and these descriptions are |
dull of sale.
“From the above comparison of imports and stocks it !
results tiiat tiie deliveries of American Cotton are almost !
double In what they were up to at the same time iu 18-39, it j
must, however, be observed that our spinners hold now |
considerably more, and though the quantity can onlv he 1
couj”cl:ired the difference can certainly not b- less thau
50,000 bags, probably more. The mills are working lage- j
ly. thev consume probably not less than 19,0'M bags A me- 1
rlcan Cotta t per week, and if this rate could bo calculated j
upon for the remainder of the ye ir, the import, large as it j
probably wiii be, would not leave us with overwhelming j
stocks. It would bo satisfactory if vve could add to this a ;
more favorable description of the state of business in ■
Manchester, but that market has been dull throughout the. j
month and prices of yarns have again declined ;d per lb.; !
goods have also declined in price. Whil this state of j
tilings last we cannot expect any marked improvement in j
our market.
“P. S.—JUNE 30.—We have had an active Cotton mar- !
ket since Sat urelay, when the sales reached 8000 bags, and 1
yesterday 7000 bugs, of which speculators took 7000 bags, |
and exporters 1000 b ;g«. Prices for or inary and mid- i
tiling Am rican descriptions have advancediper lb. upon 1
tin above quotations, the better qualities have not been j
much affected. To-d iywc have again a good inquiry from 1
speculators, but tittle from the trade. There is not much j
Co:ton on th • market, we think, however, that a fu.ther I
advance of-’ d per ID. would bring out a good deal.
“Imported since last week 27,000 bags American, 2 000
bags Brazil Cotton.”
H AVRE, June 23. Cottons. —Our preceding circular
was scarcely closed, when a sadden and spirited demand
! sprung up in onr market, and transactions in U. States
cottons became very' extensive. The first impulse was
given by the appearance ofour principal spinners, who
took off about 2500 bales, and the sales then effected were
as follows: 1054 bales New Orleans [tres ordinaire] ex. C
aledonia, Brander, at 60f.; 579 [bon ordinaire] ex. Colchis,
at 83f.; 915 Floridas, ex. Trescott, of w hich 315 bales [bon
ordinaire and ordinaire] at 79f-50: and GOO hales [bon or- i
dinaire] at 80050. Several large lots of Mobile and Flori-
I da also changed hands at 76f..70 a BU7, making the total j
sales of Tuesday nearly 5000 bales, so that prices, w hich
had experienced a rise on the Monday previous, exhibited j
un increased degree ol firmness, with a st,!l tail ter slight :
; advance, iu several instances on ordinary and middling
grades, to which attention was chiefly directed. Subse
, quentlv, however, the demand died away, and little lias
since been done: but prices nevertheless hold their ground,
there being no apparent di position on the part of holders
! to press forward their stock.
\Ve must however observe, that low descriptions of cot
ton are, from their abundance in the market,more oftere*
i than inquired after, and that the sale ot superior qualities
is very limited. Some purchases for transit were made in
■ ordinary and inferior grades. The total imports of the
l mouth amount to 38.078 bales and the outgoings t 025,008
! bales. During t e nr>t fortnight, there had been a tall ol
2i. a 2f.70. but the prices have since recovered themselves,
i and have nearly resumed theirformer position. Our latest
j advices from the United States are to the 4th instant, per

scribers intending to continue the Commission Business
the ensuing year at their old sraud oa J ickson-street, offer
their services to their friends and the public, assuring
those who may favor them with their business, that they
have storage sufficient to pi ice ail the produce they may
; get,under bouses, and will not have Cotton exposed to the
weather, nor have it placed in a spot where it cannot at all
; times be found for shipment—and they say the safety of
their warehouses, from floods, or high rivers, have been I
recently te-ted, as there was not a hale of Cotton wet by i
the late high flood. The location of the warehouses, to ■
mea of business, are particularly desirable, being in the -
immadiate vicinity ol the Rail Road Depot, Globe Hotel,
Mansion House, and Banks.
They feel grateful for former patronage and solicit a
continuation, assuring those who may favor them with j
their business that no exertions shall be wanting to pro-j
mot- th“ir interest. Their charges will be as moderate as j

only Line carrying the groat Northern Mail, iu
_S_ conn ctien with the Charleston and Wilmington ;
I Steamboat, and Rail-Road Line, commencing at the north
j ern end of that line and running through Petersburg,Rich
, moud, Fredericksburg, Washington, Baltimore, cvc., by
| Rail-Roads and Steamboats.
Travellers will fi d this line perfect throughout. The ;
| Rail-Roads are in line order—the Engines and Cars new, j
i and ofthe most approved construction, and the Steamboats j
unsurpassed by any in the Union. There is now no delay
! at any point and no expense or trouble attending the trail- j
| sition of persons or luggage from one Rail Road loan- \
1 other. From Richmond no th, the route is no w over by ;
I daylight, and the trip is made from Welden to Baltimore i
in 21 hours, including all stoppag s.
; Ofthe two routes going north from the Wilmington !
Rail Road, the Mail route i- the shortest by 20 miles, and '■
i being nearly all rail-road it will lie found the most certain
and expeditious. The other line through Portsmouth
cun only compete with it, when it has an early start, with
favorable weather, fair winds and smooth water. This ;
will be evident to every traveller when tie reflects that it
. has nearly 200 miles of steamboat navigation, 011 a wide
i Bay, for the most part out of sight of land.
On the Mail Line, there arc no changes from cars to
steamboats in the dead o night; no starting from a crowd
ed harbor in theilark; nodelays from fogsor gales of wind;
no sea-sickness, and 110 lona line of steamboats forced to
run at the tap o’ltheir speed to get through iu time—all of
which will be found on the Portsmouth route. The Mail
Line will be found the most interesting of the two, as it
j passes through larsre and floui’ishing towns, a pleasant
country in sight of Mount Vernon (close to which the
steamboat on the Potomac passes,) and through Washing
ton City, wiiich, it is believed, are much more agreeable
objects than t’ia pines and swamps, or the endless nros
: pact of water 01 the other.
Th* Mai! Line is the only direct route to Washington.
Passengers by it reach there a day ahead of those who '
take the other line. It is the only, route to the Virginia
I Springs. There is now on this route In the direction of
tli" Springs, IGO miles of rail road carrying passengers
w ithln a days ride of them.
The Fare is the same to Baltimore as by the other line,
end passengers pay through.
