We have heard indeed, on the au thority of a party only a few hours ago returned from the scene of the trial, some most sufficient hints of the results which would follow the full carrying out of the sentence of the law. The "ob stinacy" of the criminal might render him averse to die with closed lips. Extraordinary and astounding disclosures are talked of as very possible in such an event, and it is not at all unlikely that the affair has been arranged between the law officers of the Crown and O'Brien's counsel.

It must be borne in mind, too, that the Washington, steamer, left New York on the same day as the Europa, for Southampton, and may also be the bearer of ex tensive orders. The news, as to the yield of the cotton crop, is most encouraging. The season for picking is an excellent one, and the produce is set r at 2,600,000, 2,700,000, and, as the ,000 bales. The deliveries at the e latest dates, exceed those of any year, with the exception of 1845.

He is reported to have stated that " the great objection to keeping the Birkenhead Ferry open was that they employed the public purse to compete with private enterprise."

Yesteiday.evening a meetimr, of the Whig-radicals of this ward was held at Mr. Coombes's, Grinfield-street, for the pur pose, as stated in the placard, of selecting "for the represen tation some gentleman locally connected with its interests." :The meeting was not very numerous. Mr. THOMAS SMITH having beenvoted to the chair, briefly opened the proceedings, and stated that what they wanted was neither a mere speaker nor a mere voter, but a man resident in the ward who could use both his pen and his pencil, and especially would devote his attention to an examination of the accounts, and to their re duction, where it was practicable, consistently with honesty of diture. After a short pause the CHAIRMAN asked if any t they wer of the party of whom he was one, who attended the meeting by which this was held.. They wanted a man resident in the ward, who would be himself affected whenever their burthens were increased. A man's political opinions he would not consult in making this selection. He regretted that Mr. Smith, for he was the gentleman towards whom his predilections' leaned was present, as it prevented him saying much which he had intended to say eulogistic of him. He would therefore at once propose Mr. Thomas Smith as a gentleman fitted for et of I the office. choice, asked Mr. HARDY stated, that it was not the intention of any gen tleman in the meeting to propose a candidate, who alone ful filled the description of what such a party ought to be, as he had himself drawn up the placard calling the meeting.

The attendance was numerous, and Mr. W. Bennett, the chairman, presided. W PROPULSION Mr. GRANTITA as then proceeded to read an interesting paper on the subject of the screw propeller ; and this being a subject to which Mr. G. has devoted much of his time, and one in which he has had considerable experience, he was listened to throughout with marked attention. He illustrated his remarks by exhibiting several beautiful models and drawings. He stated that his object on the present occasion was rather to make a few additional remarks to what he had some years be fors stated at this society, than to go through the whole sub ject from its origin. He also wished rather to confine his ob servations to the screw as an auxiliary power to be employed in connection with sails, than as an independent power. He ob. served that the question of screw propulsion had been under a cloud for some time, owing to the in,ny discouragements un der which the subject laboured. The difficulties, however, were not connected with the principle, but were owing entirely to faults in practice. The depressed state of the times was also much against new projects. Much forbearance on the part of the public was required—the principle was right—time and ex perience would perfect it. Mr. Grantham then drew attention to the screw, and to several vessels which had continued to work well for some time, but more particularly to the Sarah Sands, which, beyond all doubt, he considered to be the most important case that could be found to test the question of aux iliary steam-power as necessary to the merchants' service. She was now again about to start for America, having crossed the Atlantic about sixteen times—and if crowds of passengers and large cargoes were any test of public confidence, she most certainly possessed a good share of it. She had preserved great regularity, but owing to her small power, and being usually very deeply laden, her speed was not great, unless favoared by the wind, which had not often been the case. Her qualities were the best displayed in bad weather. Mr. Grantham made some observations respecting the government screw -steamers,—immense sums of money had been expended on experiments and on head-vessels, but he regretted to say that they had produced nothing that was likely to lead to improvements in screw propulsion. Mr. Grantham invited discussion, some remarks were wane by the chairman and others; but all favourable to his general opinion. Mr. Smith (of the Gas Company,) paid him a high .compliment on his experience in screw propulsion, and proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Grantham, which was carried by acclamation. STURGES'S WATER FILTERERS• Mr. BENJAMIN Moos in introducing this subject, said, that the peculiarity of these filterers was that being attached to the pipes from cisterns, they were at all times supplied with water, which they delivered in a pure state, and that too by self-action. They were also readily cleaned, the operation being so simple that it might be termed "self-acting." The idea of drawing water ready filtered was suggested to the patentee at an eating-house in London, where very turbid water was presented. The waiter stated that they had no con venience for the operation ; but he himself immediately thought of a sponge forced into avessel, with a down stream of water, and a cock to draw it off, Subsequent experiments led to a variety of forms of filters, and media of filtration. Woven fabrics of vari ous textures were employed, and the inverting of such filters cleansed them of impurities. In the course of his experiments he obtained a " second" patent. [Here the lecturer exhibited four specimens of filters, by one of which 180 gallons would be discharged in twenty-four hours, sufficient for the supply of even large establishments.] The substances employed as the media of filtration were various—pounded granite, quartz, stone of various kinds, sand, charcoal, &c., separately or com bined, as the requirement may be. The cleansing process is accomplished by the reversing of the stream or flow of water in its action on the filterers, which are extremely compact, and formed of Britannia metal. They are, in fact, quite portable in the hand, and may be attached to any cistern, water-butt, or pipe. One of them (the most perfect) is constructed with two taps —one for filtration, and the other for cleansing itself ...without one...owing irvvok•tioff. ['rho only osonto ILL LUIS town are Mr. Bennett and Mr. Higgs.] The lecturer's address was lisreYed to with the greatest at tention, and, after a brief discussion, a vote of thanks was passed by the society.

LONDON MONEY MARKET.-YESTERDAY We have a very busy market in Consols this morning, accom panied with a rather considerable depression of prices. They opened at 80 to as they stood on Saturday, and so remained for a short time, when sellers became unexpectedly numerous, and they dropped to 85i. They are now a fraction worse, still at 85k- to both for money and time. This sudden change in stock affairs and fall of prices can only be accounted for by the extraordinary panic which reigns in the share market, where the jobbers are all sellers, with scarcely one to make a price. In fact, it now appears, their cash boxes are all full of stock and scrip, the value of which has been daily so deteriorating, that the holders 'become desperate. All the business consists of forced sales. The illness of Mr. Hudson has some effect upon the market also. Exchequer Bills are 325. t 0,4,55. pre mium. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKI YESTERDAY The supply of beasts is considerably shorter to-day; but the weather is unfavourable for slaughtering; trade is consequently low. _ A few choice qualities made 4s. 2d., but 4s. is a more general average The number of Sheep is rather larger, and the demand so e.. ceedingly limited that we have great difficulty in selling at a reduction of fully 2d. per Blbs. on Monday's quotations.

In the course of the evening, however, the linen was called for at the Clarence Dock and, no suspicion being entertained, was delivered to the carter who was known to be occasionally employed by Messrs.

LEEDS AND THIILSK RAILWA -At a special extra ordinary meeting of the shareholders of tliis company, held at Leeds, on Saturday last, it was determined, in opposition t) the wishes of the directory, to reject the proposed agreement for a junction with the East and West Yorkshire Junction Railway Company—the num bers being, in support of the agreement, 597 ; against it, 756. The city article of The Times having stated that Mr. Stegmann, a partner in the house of Messrs. Brownells and Co., of this town, at Buenos Ayres, " was still in prison at Buenos Ayres, on a charge fabricated by Rosas, of undermining his dwelling in order to blow him up," Messrs. Brownells have stated, that Mr. Stegmann, after being detained at the police-office, was released by order of General Rosas, the charge being, as we think it almost unnecessary to say, quite without foundation. " FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR THE JEWS.—But as we know that a good Providence hovers over Israel, with better things in store for them than those they now vainly seek after, so have we reason to conclude that this ap proach to political power here and elsewhere in the lands of their dispersion, will be as it hitheao ever has been, but the growth of a night followed by'lVe early decay of a morning. Indeed there are not wanting symptoms already of the probability of a reaction against the Jews, and underground grumbling against them is already audible, and frequent placards abusive of them are posted on the corners of the streets.—Rev. R. W. Wright's Letters froni Vienna. DEATH OF THE EARL OF CARLISLE.—This venerable nobleman died on Saturday morning, at his seat, Castle Howard. His lordship was born on September 17th, 1773, and was returned to parliament in 1794 as member for Morpeth. In 1801 he married the eldest daughter of the Duke of Devonshire, who survives her husband. His lordship subsequently represented Cumberland, and was appointed Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of York shire in 1824, and in 1837 he was appointed Chief Com missioner of Woods and Forests, and during the period of the Goderich ministry he held the office of Privy Seal. In 1834 his lordship withdrew from public life. His lord ship's death creates a vacancy in the Order of the Garter, into which illustrious body he was admitted in the year 1837, and the advancement of the present Earl to a seat in the House of Peers will occasion a new election for the West Riding of Yorkshire, Lord Morpeth succeeding to the Earl's title. The deceased peer resigned the office of Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire in the month of July, 1847, and his lordship's eldest son was appointed to succeed him.

ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. The splendid new royal mail steam-ship Europa, Captain E. G. Lott, arrived in the river yesterday at noon, having left New York o n th e 27th u lt. an d H a lif ax on ie 30th. She made the entire run from the former port, including the detention at Halifax, in less than twelve days. She has brought one hundred passengers and over 50,000 dollars in specie. The Southampton steam-ship, which left New York the same day for England, had only eighteen passengers. The intelligence by the Europa is very meagre. The steam-ship Acadia arrived at Boston on the 20th ult. The steam-ship America was passed on the 28th, within one hour's sail of New York. The New York papers are still filled with articles and reports of meetings connected with the presidential elec tion. The friends of Mr. Clay continue to meet, not withstanding his expressed determination not to stand. The election will take place on the 7th November. The excitement relative to the gold in California we have noticed in another article. From Guatemala the dates are to the 15th July. The presidency of Carrera was drawing to a close. The packet-ship New World (instrumental in saving many lives during the burning of the Ocean Monarch) had arrived at New York on the 23d ultimo, with the heroic sailor, Jerome, on board, who is to receive the freedom of the city in a gold box. A subscription was also making for him. All was quiet at Mexico, and we see no allusion to Paredes or any of his projects. From Texas we learn that the late dry weather has been very favourable to the cotton crops in that region, which had begun to suffer. The fields of s ugar can e look well, and promise a large yield. Accounts from Santa Fe state that the volunteer troops had a slight skirmish with the Indians, who soon retreated, leaving behind 32 horses and mules, and twenty-five men dead. The troops only lost two:men. The money market was close. The rate of interest was equal to one per cent per month on good paper. . By an arrival at New York of the British brig Bream, from Sierra Leone, we are informed of the capture of four slavers, all Brazilians, which were condemned and burnt. One of the vessels, a brig, prize to her Majesty's brig Alert, had onboard when captured 500 slaves ; the schoo ner Waterwich 472 ; the brig Sea Lark 561. A Spanish schooner amongst the number had not received her cargo. We take the following from the New York Courier of the 27th ult. :—" We continue here in the enjoyment of fine weather, which, of course, helps the cotton crop. The receipts of cotton at the ports, and the exports to Great Britain since the Ist instant, exceed those of the last four, and, indeed, of all preceding seasons. There seems to be a deficiency of 1000 bales in the receipts compared with 1845 ; but this is merely apparent, and not real, inasmuch as four days more are included for 1845 than 1848. The weather in the south continues favourable for the opening and picking of the new crop, and nothing that we can hear of has occurred, thus far, to prevent 26, 27, or, indeed, 2,800,000 bales being made, if the weather and other cir cumstances continue as favourable as they have been since about 20th August. The new cotton comes into market rather freely, although they write from some places that the unusual quantity open in the fields for three weeks past, has compelled planters to turn in their whole force upon picking, to the present neglect of ginning and sending to market. We hear of two vessels loading cotton for France at New Orleans, and one at Savannah, and there are shipments making from New York.i' The total shipments of flour from New York to Great Britain and Ireland, for the week ending 18th ult. was 8,200 barrels ; of corn, 231,342 b us h e l s ; an d o f Wheat. 15,892 bushels. The aggregate shipments of flour for the week, to all places was 18,765 barrels, and of corn, 236,763 bushels. The other shipments comprise the usual variety end about tlao axonal quantity. Mr. Forrest, the American actor, was drawing crowded houses nightly, at Broadway Theatre, where he had kept up an increasing enthusiasm for three weeks. Mr. Macready had been engaged to appear at the Park in his usual range of parts. " Those who like," says the New York Morning Herald, " strong excitement and great natural power, will resort to the Broadway ; those who prefer more artistic and finished performances, will pa tronize the Park."

Wheat was less firm, and sales of Ge nessee pretty freely made, at a slight concession in favour of buyers. Corn continued firm. For immediate delivery, stocks continued light, and sales of round yellow, were made at an advance. Meal remained about the same. There was no change in rye or oats.

The French National Assembly resolved on Saturday evening by a majority of 390, that the President of the Republic should be elected by universal suffrage. ted, what was to Council from writing lead to considerable inconvenience. Mr. BRAMLEY-MOORE also objected to the letter big NO, as calculated to lead to inconvenience. to excuse his absi ht they were altogether out of order in meeting at all to nominate tho committee. The committee ought to have been appointed at the last Coun cil, and he should have voted against the adjournment, only he thought tiA matter was about to be thrown over board altogether. VP The LAYOR called upon Mr. Bennett to proceed with his motion for the appointment of the committee, without referring to Mr. Holme's letter, Mr. BENNETT said the two motions had been agreed to by the Council, and he wished to know from the Town clerk, whether he should consider it his duty to act upon these resolutions, even supposing no committee were ap pointed to carry them out. The TOWN-CLERK said, supposing no further steps had been taken by the Council, he should feel it his duty, of his own mere motion, to communicate with the parish authorities on the subject. There stood a motion on the books of the Council which he should feel it his duty to carry into effect, and in doing so he should prepare the parliamentary notices for the purpose of being submitted to a special Council, which he should request the Mayor to call. Mr. BEN NETT said, under these circumstances he should withdraw his motion until after the first meeting in No vember. (Cries of " no, no.") The TOWN-CLERK said be thought he was not properly understood. He should certainly not insert the notices without first submitting them to a special meeting of the Council. Mr. BENNETT said, if he understood the. Town-clerk right, the proper mode of proceeding was simply to move the appointment of the committee : and, therefore, he begged to move that the following be appointed a com mittee to carry out the resolutions of the Council with reference to the rating of the Corporate and Dock estates, namely—Messrs. Earle, H. Hornby, S. Holme, J. G. Morris, Cooper, Parker, Danson, Turner, J. Booker, Walthew, and himself. Mr. TURNER begged to have his name withdrawn, be cause it was quite impossible he could act in unanimity with the committee, and, therefore, it was better to place some one else on it. Mr. BENNETT.—Then I beg to nominate Mr. Littledale Mr. MOLYNEUX said he considered the proceeding so outrageous, so contrary to all the duties of trustees, and so injudicious, that he felt he sh ou ld no t b e d o i ng hi s duty if he did not propose an amendment. He should there fore propose that the Committee be not appointed, and that no further steps be taken in the matter. He did not mean to say more, but he could not help looking upon the question as nothing less than a complete revolutionary movement. It was undoing what our ancestors had been doing from the reign of Queen Anne to the present day. How would the bond holders feel upon the subject ? They had lent their money on the faith of Acts of Parlia ment, which guaranteed that all surplus should be ex pended in increasing the estate, or, in other words, in the construction of additional docks, and that only. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said, at the last Council it had been intimated by the Mayor that it was competent for any member to enter into the general question if they chose to do so, but he did not intend to avail himself of that privilege; for, although he felt as strongly as ever on the subject, he would not take the least step which should be considered as undue hostility to what was then under stood to he the opinion of a large majority of the Council. He felt convinced that no adverse decision the Council could come to on the subject would be satisfactory to the people out of doors, and, therefore, there was no help for it but an appeal to parliament. He (Mr. Lawrence) was, therefore, prepared to agree with the Town Clerk in taking 'the requisite steps for going to parliament. He was, there fore, of opinion that the time was now arrived when the question would be considered, and that they must resort to parliament to have their opinion upon it. He, however, hoped he should not be misunderstood on the subject : He still held the same opinion he had before expressed; he still thought the question would never be carried, but that was no reason why the Committee should not be ap pointed and the requisite steps taken. They must now proceed to consider the constitution of the Committee ; there were two or three questions on the subject deserving attention :—The first was, they, as trustees, were asked to . , apply to pstrliarnant , 1.;11 fh<:, his own opinion was, that the proper course would be for the parish to apply to parliament, the Council being assenting parties to it. The next was, that for the sake of peace and harmony, he hoped the rating of the corpo rate estate would not be made to depend upon the exigence of a surplus. If this were so it would lead to endless dis putes. His opinion was, that if the corporate estate was to be rated at all, it ought to be rated whether there was a surplus or not, in the same w s railway property. What would be said of a railway ..pany if they refused to pay the local rates, on the ground that they had ne pro fit ? It was just possible, in his opinion, that parliament, seeing the state of feeling on the subject, might be in duced to consent to a measure for rating the corporate estate ; but, as to the docks, he had no fear for them. There were plenty of people to take care of them : the Dock Committee and the bond holders would—. The MAYOR interfered, and said he thought the speaker was going rather too far. Mr. G. H. LAWRENCE said he should say no more on the subject, except that it was not his intention to oppose the formation of the Committee. Mr...RATHBONE rose to second the amendment pro posed by Mr. Molyneux. He said, nothing which had occurred should prevent him from stating his reasons why no Committee should be formed, and he trusted the Council would listen patiently to him, as it was not im probable that that might be the last time he should have of raising his warning voice against that most fatal mea sure. The MAYOR said Mr. Rathbone could not open the general question unless with the consent of the Council. If Mr. Rathbone wished, he would take the opinion of the Council on the subject. Mr. RATHBONE.—Then, will you allow me to move that the question shall be discussed. The MAYOR intimated that there was already an amendment before the Council, and until that was dis posed of it was not competent for Mr. Rathbone to pro pose another; and they had heard that whatever might be the decision of the Council, the Town Clerk would feel himself bound to act upon the former resolutions. Mr. AIIUN hoped they were not to be bound to the reasons of any individual for every step and stage they took with reference to the bill. In the House of Com mons every member was allowed at every stage to express his opinions upon a measure, and surely the same would be allowed there. The MAYOR said it was competent for any member to propose that no committee should be formed, or that its formation should be postponed, but the opinion of the Town-Clerk was, that they c ould not discuss a question which had been decided at a former Council. The Town- Clerk also stated that he should feel it his duty to prepare the requisite notices. Mr. AIRIN said such a course would be contrary to the usual practice of deliberative assemblies with which he was acquainted with. He, however, could not forbear observing that the Chairman of the Finance Committee was again temporising—was again submitting to spoliation —was again compounding felony. (Oh, oh.) He held it was perfect cowardice in those who kept the citadel to open the gate at the moment the trumpet of the enemy was sounded—he held that it was not right to do evil that good might arise, and therefore it was their duty to resist that measure, which was one of the most motstrous follies ever attempted, by every means in their power. The MAYOR said the question was not one of right, but of expediency. The Town-Clerk said he should feel bound to prepare the notices. If the committee was appointed they would be submitted to it, and then the report of the committee would be brought before the Council. Then every member could state his feeling upon the subject. _ Mr. AnciN.—Suppose the Council should now deter mine that we should proceed no further, then there will be no necessity for giving the notices. The TOWN-CLERK, after remarking that he thoueht he could not have been clearly understood, read the resoluti ons come to by the Council on the subject, and proceeded to observe that those resolutions could not, under the standing orders of the Council, be altered or rescinded, except upon notice, and no notice had been given. It was perfectly competent to move that there should be no com mittee formed, or that the appointment of the committee should be postponed, but whatever was the opinion of the Council on the subject, he should prepare the notices, and then request the Mayor to call a special meeting to con Sider them. Mr. LACE said he intended to have brought forward a motion similar to that proposed by Mr. Molyneux, but after what had passed he thought the better course to pursue was to leave ill the report was brou g ht up. His fijection to th sure was, however, strong as ever. • .. Mr. EARLE said it was better at once to discuss and settle the question, for it was sure to come before them week after week, and therefore be was not a little sur prised at his friend Mr. Rathbone—Where is he ? (Laughter.) Mr. RATfinoNE.—Oh ! here. Mr. EARLE.—Why I thoughtl had lost you. (Laugh ter.) There had been a great deal said about the Ameri can Chamber of Commerce. They met, and only two or three came. Then they were summoned to another meet ing, and how many then attended ? Why, only one or two. The gentlemen did not attend, and therefore the conclusion was that all were in favour of the measure. After a few words from Mr. Cooper and Mr. H. Harbord, _ _ Mr. BAAMLEY MOORS said he wished to say a few words with reference to the matter, and in doing so, he was anxious to avoid all appearance of offering a factious IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Cape of Good Hope papers of the sth of August have reached us, from which we learn that Pretorius, at the head of 400 men, reached Bloom Fontein on the 17th of July, whence he forwarded a rnessenger to Major Warden, the British resident, offering terms of capitulation. Major Warden, finding himself altogether in a defenceless pod' tion, and believing that if he refused to accept the propo sition made, Pretorius could compel him to yield by bringing a force of 1000 men against him, assented to the conditions, which were, that he should retire beyond the Orange River, unmolested, with all public and private property belonging to British subjects—thus permitting the Queen's authority, for a short time at least, to be ex pelled from the northern side of that river. We suspect that when Sir Harry Smith reaches Natal lie will teach Pretorius a lesson that he will not soon forget. POTSDAM, OCT. 4.—Yesterday 60 soldiers of the regi ment of the Guards armed with poignards, knives, &c., penetrated at a given signal, into the Chamber of the Political Association, and rushed on the members present, and wounded several. There were 300 soldiers in the club, 70 of whom were. cuirassiers. The cry was given, " Cuirassier advance." The latter immediately closed with the guards, and a furious struggle ensued. The re port was then raised in the street that the guards were killing the citizens. The National Guard came up and arrested 40 guards and took them to the Hotel de Ville. THE BRAZILS.—The Seagull packet arrived at Falmouth on Saturday with the Brazil mail, and a considerable freight in specie, &c. All was quiet iii the Brazils, but all branches of trade were exceedingly depressed. Ex change declined to a point below calculation, the fall since January having amounted to 211 per cent. In addition to these facts, the state of the import trade was truly la mentable; of most articles the receipts were considerably in advance of those of any previous month of the year, whilst business generally had been restricted. Some few articles which had been in demand sold readily ; but inde pendently of these and of estivas, which being perishable could not be held, the sales was unimportant. Freights were firmer early than at the close of the month ;but from the quantity of disengaged vessels in port. a decline in the current rates was looked for. The exchange at Rio was 22; Bahia, 224; and Pernambuco, 23. Stock (6 per cent.) after having advanced to 86 and 86}, had gradually declined to SO and 81. The latest dates from the River Plate were to the 20th of July, at which period Rosas was endeavouring to make terms with the Monte Videans, enticing them to give up the aid of the English and French powers. The terms demanded of the English Minister were—an indemnification of a 5,000,000, the withdrawal of the naval forces, and cession of all rights to the trade of Parana. At Bahia and Pernambuco business was very dull and freights very low, whilst the markets were over charged with British manufactures. GENERAL TRADE REPORT, Monday Night, The time for progress is still put off; and the mate riel for successful trade operations suffered to lie partially dormant. With the exception of the West India interest, a cheering future is looked for in every other de partment. It is only a question of time. The low price of Cotton affords every encouragement to the manufac turer, while it is still remunerative to the importer; and as the warlike enthusiasm of our continental neighbours is dwindling into a very small compass, a revival of ac tivity may be considered near at hand in this most im portant branch. The share-market is a problem at present, but the depreciation going on does not appear to affect other securities, Consols closing firmly on Saturday at an advance of * on the week. The rally in the SHARE Market, noticed in our second edition of last week, lasted only for the day : prices re ceded each day since, and close this evening , lower than ever they were known. We learn, by telegraph, that London Stock has been in London as low as 102 ; Mid land at 76. Waiting the arrival of the steamer, there has been little done in Brunswick-street to-day in Indian Corn. We have had some inquiry for old Wheats-at previous rates ; but new Wheat, being in bad condition, moved off very slowly. The fall which had previously taken place in Oats seems to have gone beyond its proper limit, and a reaction having taken place, they are rather dearer to day. With regard to stocks here, they are considerably below those held at this period last year, which were esti mated at 120,000 qrs. Wheat, 400,000 brls. Flour. 300,000 qrs. Inilian Corn, and 200,000 brls. Indian Meal ; while at the present time they amount to about 60,000 qrs. Wheat, 30,000 brls. Flour, 20,000 qrs. Indian Corn, and 3,000 brls. Indian Meal. The demand, however, has not hitherto been sufficient to call for such extensive sup plies. The Albion doubts the probability of the report from Washington, which gives an available surplus for export of 200,000,000 bushels of various descriptions of breadstuffs of last year's produce, and contends, that " had the production of America been so excessive in 1847 as is represented in the Government report, the great outlet would have felt its effects in enlarged receipts and low prices, instead of stinted supplies and enhanced values." We partly agree with our contemporary, and suspect that there must be some exaggeration ; it must, however, be taken into consideration that the great ex pense of carriage from the Western States may have had something to do with the limited supply at the places of shipment, which the natural result of low prices, had growers flooded the market, would have rendered unre munerative. American COTTON has river been cheaper than at the present time, not excepting the summer of 1845, when we held n stock of . upwards of one million hales. The decline this week is principally in the better kinds, which . . are in very moderate request, and fully -}cl. cheaper; the demand being chiefly confined to the ordinary to mid dling qualities, which have barely receded a quotation. Surat is the only description of cotton which has main tained its price, and the business has been limited in con sequence. On Saturday, the sales were about 4000 bales, chiefly American, at 34d. to 4d. per lb. The market was extremely heavy. About 500 bales were taken for export. The market opened THIS MORNING with steady demand from the trade, which holders met freely at Friday's quo tations, and which have probably been rather more easily obtained ; the pressure to sell having been somewhat less prominent. The business is estimated at 6000 bales, nearly altogether American, from 2d. to 5d., chiefly 34d. to 34. d. About 1,500 Orleans for export. The prices of Scotch Pig IRON are somewhat lower this week. The market has been very dull, the value of mixed numbers being nominally 445., at Glasgow.—The Mining Journal reports an improvement in the mining share market, and a rise of £2 per ton on Tin. The TIMBER trade, since the 29th of September, shows an arrival from British America, up to the Bth instant, of 33 vessels-21,968 tons. The sales since the 29th ult., consist of St. John, a cargo, 20 inch average, at 181 d. per foot, with ash, elm, and spruce, at 10d., and deals at lid. Of Quebec, three cargoes have been sold at 141 d. per foot for low pine, at 171 d. to 18d. for red, 21d. to 22d, for oak, and £7 per standard for deals. A cargo of Dalhousie timber was sold at ]3d. per foot for pine and birch, £8 10s. per standard for yellow deals, and £6 per standard for spruce. St. John spruce deals, a cargo has been sold at £6 16s.per standard. _ _ The IRISH Provision trade is nearly limited to the transactions in Butter, of which article, owing to the arrivals being again on the increase, and the demand trivial, holders have offered prime samples of Northerns and Southerns at a decline of ls. per cwt., and have been met very slowly. AmEircAN.:-We have had a fair supply of good Cheese about 2,000 boxes, brought forward at auction, met a tolerably ready sale ; the top price, for one small lot, be ing 525. The supply of Beef continues small. There is a good demand for Pork, at various prices according to quality, but holders of the lower kinds of " prime mess" are not disposed to accept the offers of dealers, and are re-shipping a large portion of their stocks for sal, ladelphia, where prices are higher. No change in Bacon. The grease Butter offering is of inferior quality, and lower prices have been accepted ; the season for this article is nearly over. ',Ann.—Our market is in a very fluctuating state, the demand this week has been extremely limited, and prices have again given way fully is. per cwt. ; good to fine quality has been sold at 435. per cwt. The TALLOW market is dull, and prices have run down 6d. to ls. per cwt. in Liverpool. The value of P.Y.C. in London is 465. per cwt. ; here, 475. 6d. to 48s. Odessa, here, 465. 6d. to 475. ; North American, 465. 6d. to 475. ; ditto Butchers' Association, 475. [e in Phi- There is not any material change to notice in the Wool. market. Foreign continues very dull, but prices are without alteration. In Scotch a little more has been doing, principally in the better class ; inferior parcels are very unsaleable. SlLK.—Since the arrival of the China mail there has been less disposition shown on the part of importers to sell, and higher prices asked ; an advance has been ob tained of 6d. per lb. on all low and middling qualities both of Tsatlee and Taysaams : good and fine Tsatless are firm, but without alteration in price. In Bengal Silks the stocks are considerably reduced, and with some im provement in price. In Italian, Brussa, and Persian Salo there is less offering, and higher prices asked. The disturbed state of the Continent has greatly inter fered with our usual demand for SHELL LAC, and prices have declined 2s. to 3s. per cwt. The amount of notes in circulation is £17,549,020, be ing an increase of £238,015 ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £13,678,493, showing a decrease of £186,588, when compared with the preceding return.
