last season the receipts were 3008 bales, and the
stock on hand was 27,107 bales.
The market during the latter part of the last }
month was void of animation. The receipts up to
the Ist inst. reached only 6000 bales, and the slock
tin hand had increased about 2000. The Liverpool
Accounts by the Caledonia at Boston, were less fa
vorable than bad been expected. The week’s
transactions sum up 4000 bales, nearly 1000 of j
which were of the old crop. We resume our table
■of quotations as far as practicable, rem.irking that ;
there is some difference in rates furnished by bro- ;
kers and that it is difficult to effect pm chasers at

The week’s business is the largest since the
commencement of the season, and the purchases
have been made for the French, Spanish an 1
Northern markets. Prices have been gradually slif
fening up during the week, owing to the paucity of
the receipts, the lightness of the stock on sale, and
the disposition on the part of buyers to push for
ward samples of the new crop. The sales com
prise grades mainly of middling fair and down
wards, fair descriptions being in less request.
In regard to the incoming crop it is yet 100 early
to make an estimate that could be relied upon with
sufficient certainty. Waiving, therefore any re
ference to the prospectsat New Orleans, and at the
great receiving ports in the Atlantic estates, we
may venture the opinion made up with some care,
that the maximum of receipts at this port, may be
set down at 350,000 bales.— Merchant*' f PUmters :

Philadelphia, Nov. 8, 3 o’clock, P. M.
The steamer Britannia arrived at Boston
on Saturday morning, but the telegraph wires
between Boston and New York were imme
diately cut by some of the speculators, time
only being allowed to announce the fact of
her arrival. She brings dates to the 19ch j
ult. from Liverpool, sixteen days later than !
tlm.se brought by tiie Caledonia.
The steamer Great B- Haiti was still in the !
same position that the Caledonia left her.and
will probably be a total loss. She had twelve
feel of water in her hold at the latest dates.
The intelligence from Ireland is of the
most melancholy character. Not withstand
ing the assistance rendered bv Government
in relieving the wants of the people, the fa- |
mine was increasing in all parts of the coun
try. A malignant disease had also broken ( tr. !
in some portions of the kingdom which was
greatly adding to the wretchedness of the
people.
The Cambr a had arrived ont with onr
Minister, Mr. Bancroft, who would at once
enter on his duties.
The rnarr ages of the Queen of Spain and :
her sister have been consummated without
any serious effects, if we except the pro est
by England and one or two other European
power-. The itUenle enrdiale between France
and England is broken; France joins Spain
for the conquest of the Spanish Americis.

place, on account of the great demand for j
breadstuff* for the wants of the people.
F our was in brisk demand at an advance
of one shilling per barrel over the quotations
by the last steamer.
The prices of grain was also rapidly ad
vancing in all European ports.
The advance in cotton was about one
farthing over the previous rates.
LIVERPOOL, Oct. 19—With reference
to our last Circular of 3d inst., we have now
to advise a further advance in our Cotton
market of |d. per lb. generally. It is found
ed entirety on the later accounts down to
the Ist iust. of the still more unpromising
prospect for the corning American crop which
have produced renewed and extensive spe
culative operations. Fair Upland is now ;
quoted fair Mobile 6d. and fair Orleans
6jd. per JO. The sales for the week ended
9th inst. amounted to 52.800 bales, of which 1
22.000 was taken on speculation and 2500
for export,and for the week ended 16th inst.
the business was 70.900, of which specula
tors took 39,000 and exporters 2.000 bales, i
The American de-criotions sold the past j
week consisted of 6940 Upland at 4| a
34.720 Orleans at 4| a
and Mobile at 4b a 0} and 400 Sea Island at
lOf a 18d per lb.
The business on Saturday 17th inst., was
about 10,000 bales, and to-day about 14,000 j
have been sold, specnlatt rs having taken
about 12,000 in the two days. The stock m
this port is estimated at 614.000 bis, against
919.000 at same period last season, the slock
of American is 423 000 against 694,000*1a5t
season at same period.
The Corn markets have again further ad
e -s .1
vanced, and Flour on bond is ijjyw in demand
at 325. a 335. per bbl. for s\v»et, atid sour is
worth 275. 6J. a 28s. per bblx' now cer
tain that the duty will within a fortnight be i
down to the minimum rate ol 4s. per quarter
and 2s. sd.per bbl. Flour duty paid may be
quoted 345. 6d. to3ss. fid. per bbl. Indian
Corn continues in demand and lias now

Commodore Sloat. —The New York Com
mercial learns from Commodore Sloat that be
had an interview with the President, in
which be was assured, with very compli
mentary expressions, mat all his acts were
approved—he had in fact anticipated the
instructions which his government had sent
to him.
Naval. —The U. S. Ship Boston has been
on Die eve of sailing for a fotmight past;
each day hoping to get off on the next. We
learn that the financial arrangements of the
ship w ill detain her until Sunday. She will
proceed to Tampico. Siie has on board the
material for a good fight.— N. Y. Herald.
Surgeon Hammond. —We are pleased to
notice that during its recent session in New
York, the Army Medical Board approved
the examination of our young friend. Dr.
j John F. Hammond, formerly of Augusta,
; and recommended bis appointment as Assis
tant Surgeon in the Array. Dr. H. is the
youngest brother of Ex-Governor Hammond,
of South-Carolina, and of Maj. Marcellus C.
M. Hammond ofthe U. S. Armv. He is a
young gentleman of fine talents, of studious
I habits and unassuming manners, and cannot
fail to take a high position in the service.—
j Savannah lie publican.
New York Election. —The New York
' Commercial has returns from ail the coun
ties, which show a majority of 10,876 tor
Young, for Governor. Nothing positive is
known as to the Lieut Governor, though
Gardiner, democrat, is said to be elected.—
The Assembly is set down at 74 whigs, 54
democrats—making a whig majority of 18,
a id on joint ballot of 8. The majority against
| the new Constitution in the city of New
i \ork was 18,000 and against negro suffrage
24,000. The Constitution is thought to be
! adopted, notwithstanding.
| New Jersey Election. —The election in
New Jersey has resulted in the choice of four
Whigs and one Democrat to Congress.
The Senate stands 12 Whigs and 7 Demo
crats, and the House 40 Whigs and 18 Demo
crats, making the Whig majority on joint
I bailot 27. The Senate stood last year the
, same as it will stand this year. The House,
j last year, was composed of 31 Whigs and 27
Democrats. The actual gain therefore is
nine votes.
lowa Election. — i’he St. Louis Republi
can has nearly full returns from the first
! election in the new State. According to a
i letter from Burlington, lowa, the whigs have I
a majority on joint ballot in the legislature, j
which gives them two United Stales Sena- i
tors. The same writer claims the election ;
of .McKnight, the whig candidate for Gov- j
ernor, and thinks it probable that Hendricks,
whig, is elected to Congress.
CH \ RLESI ON, Nov. 11.— Cotton. "-There has
been a fair inquiry for Cotton since our last report. I
The market was somewhat excited on Saturday I
last, in consequence of ihe receipt of favorable I
advices from the other side, per the Alliance at i
this port. Upwards of 2476 bales were sold, and I
a fractional advance was occasionally obtained; |
there was, however, less demand for the article j
on Monday, and the extreme rates of Saturday j
were with difficulty sustained—sales 1374 bales, j
In the forenoon of yesterday the market was flat,
