THE DAY'S NEWS; We publish full details of the Indian news rei3Cilleit by the Overland Bombay Mail. It would appear that the forbe at Lucknow had been enabled to maintain their position without material loss, to the 29th of September. It was expected that by the 30th of that month there would be 7,000 troops in the immediate neighbourhood. There had been some successful skirmishing near -Cawnpore, and Col. Gseathead obtained a brilliant victory over the rebels, of whom 2,000 were slain at Agra; and that gallant officer was pursuing his way down ward's to join .Havelock. Malwa district was quiet, after the rebels had been completely thrashed by Brigadier Stuart. Troops were arriving in large numbers daily from England, and before the end of Novener there would be above 100,000 Euro pean soldiers in Hindostan, more than double what we ever had before in that part of the British dominions.; -but while the rebellion is thus being put down everywhere, and treason has done its worst, the poor fanatical savages are still flying to arms. So say our despatches. The intelligence from America, by the arrival of the Canada, which brought 101,704 dollars and 15,000 sovereigns in specie, is not of much im portance. The American journals are occupied in discussing the recent news respecting the Mormon attack upon government trains, which they cap tured. We have all sorts cf accounts of the pro ceedings of the Kansas Constitutional Convention. One states that aeteparate clause to the constitution, broadly sanctioning slavery, will only be submitted to the people for ratification or rejection, while the Constitution itself, and the territorial laws con. firmed by it, will remain in full force: Another states that a report from the minority of the committee on the Constitution was adopted, pro viding that the question of ratification or rejection should not be submitted to the people. As already intimated, General Walkerhad left New Orleans on his way to Nicaragua. He left that city in the Mo bile steamer, and at the Balize was transferred to another steamer, and at once proceeded on his way to Nicaragua. He was accompanied by 400 men, and, it is said, had plenty of provisions and war material. The Government, upon being made acquainted with these facts, at once despatched revenue cutters in pursuit of the General, thus " locking the stable door after the horse is stolen." News from Cali foreia, Cuba, and the Sandwich Islands, is not of much consequence. Our intelligence from abroad is not of much importance. A curious despatch is transmitted from Constantinople, .according to which Reschid Pitch:: has ordered all lights on the Turkish coasts to be extinguished, unless the Ambassadors assent to a new tariff of light duties for foreign vessels. Probably this anneuncoment refers only to the light dues which are to be paid at the mouth of the Danube, The Observer says, that the visit of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe to England is entirely in relation to his private affairs. He has asked for leave of absence for some time past, but was detained at Constantinople by the important business of the Embassy. On S iturday, the Great Eastern was moved ten feet, and it is now believed that -she will be effectually launched by to-morrow's (Tuesday) spring tide. It is stated that Lord John Rupsell has under taken to lay a Bill for the settlement of the Jewish question upon th 9 table of the House of Commons as .soon as Parliament shall meet. The entire concurrence of Lord Palmerston to this course has been riven. We sometimes hear of extraordinary desiQions by magistrates. On Saturday, at the County Magis. trate's Office, a man, named Coulter, was brought up on the charge of deserting his wife. The defence was, that the wife had committed adultery. Three witnesses proved that such was the case, but Mr Benn, one of the presiding magistrates, said he did not belieye,a word of what had been sworn to, and was about .committing Coulter for three months, when, it. ein. intimated by the clerk that he could not do so, the ' prisoner was committed for one month. Ar r . Pemberton severely censured the couduct of Mr. Bonn, and gave krtice of .appeal. Certainly Mr decision seems to us to be quite in contradiction to the evidence, but we are so accustomed to strange doings of lay magistrates, that we aro not in the least surprised at the display =ado by that gentleman on Saturday. At the Police C4urt, on Saturday, the cas e o f allegeds iurcier on the high seas was partially ,gone into, and.certainly, if the evidence of the witnesses examined can at .all be relied upon, never was there a more foul or deliberate murder committed. One of the witnesses deposed "I never hoard him (the dc:?eased)pomplairay.:hen he came on beard; he done hie work willingly and cheerfully. I did not notice any thing particular until we were from 40 to 50 or 60 days at sea, and then one evening, from the Gth to the .oth Octoberj saw the captain seize him by the neck, ,and threw him with violence on the deck, with his face down. He kicked him r•- peatedly over various parts of the body—head, breast, and right thigh—using diabolical language, and saying, ' worthless scoundrel and lazy blackguard, you shall never live to see Liverpool. I will kill or murder you.' Deceassd was calling for mercy to God, and the Virgin, at the time. I saw the captain lift his foot, and kick it down heavily on the small of the man's back. Deceased was the most inoffensive man in the ship,. and he begged of the captain, for the sake of God and the Virgin, not to kill him, He spoko half Spanich and half English. I understand enough of Spanish to know what he said. The captain's exclamation was, ' God d - you, you worthless blackguard, I will kill you.' Deceased came forward, partly crawling and partly walking. Deceased said, ll think am all broke ; I can't straighten my back ; something broke there; I wish (to tne ss ) you would look at it.' His words ware, as well I remember, `Ah, my God ! Captain Christie want to kill me.: I think something broke.' H e was moaning all that night. fic never walked or stood upright after that." Such is a sample of the evidence adduced on Saturday, but there not being time to finish the _enquiry, the further hearing of the case was adjourned to this day. MESSRS. DENNISTOUN and Co's. suspension is one of the most lamentable illustrations of the baneful effects of our Rignetary sy§tem the panic of . 1857 has brought prominently before the commercial public. Here 'we have a firm whose mercantile transactions are found, on a giren day, to amount to - 2,935,991/., and this large sum they are prepared to pay off in full with 5 per 'cent. interest, and after allowing for the systemised depreciation of their merchandise and private property, by the 31st of July, 1859 ; that is, within a period of one year and eight months they can pay 3,000,0001. in debts and interest, In:fact they will, after writing off quite 30 per cent. for depreciation, and when out of track, discharge their liabilities at the rate of 150,0001. per month. This is enough to show us what British commerce and merchants are. We have no public institutions in the realm which require a greater amount of general knowledge, practical experience, industry, and integrity than we find combined is the management of these vast mercantile establishments ; and yet how coolly they are suffered to fall to the ground. The Bank which refused such a firm temporary assistance must have been bankrupt itself. It could have had no money to employ in the legiti mate business of a banking house. If the most marketable merchandise, and large private pro perties, are not good securities for a Bank to advance upon, what would they have ? And if they cannot find money for such purposes, why should we be pestered with them in trade? If they have only been created to lead us into difficulties, and then leave us in them, it would be better for every man to be his own banker. It would be better to open depots for strong boxes, and to refer all persons requiring a refer ence to the bona fide keeper of the merchant's cash. The primitive simplicity of such a course might bring our currency quacks and SHYLOCKS' to their senses. Associated merchants might receive money "on call," to be employed exclu sively in trade, without the intermediate agency of bankers. It is quite clear, however, that something must be done to uproot that power which is now employed to crush the greatest, as well as the smaller, traders of England. A bill, if made payable at Messrs. DENNISTOUN and Co's. Counting Houses, would be just as valuable as if it had to be taken to Messrs. NOCASII and Co's. counter. The saving of banking commis sions on the gross amount of the trading transac tions of this country, would be a respectable set off against the losses sustained by panics. If our Banks are to be nothing more than strong rooms for the reception of money, and if our currency is really no more than so much paper issued against thirty or forty millions of coin, which ought at all times to be in active circula tion, or available to meet the wants of trade, we had better have strong boxes, from which the cash can be had, without paying 10 per cent. for the use of it. The old Lombard system, as administered in these islands, is not suited to this advanced age. In olden times, it took a dozen or more merchants, of unquestionable standing, to form a bank. Now it only requires three or four partners to form a mercantile house such as Messrs. DENNISTOUN and Co.'s, whose beoks show at the close of each year larger totals than soave three or four banks. And is it to be supposed that the weaker will be suffered much longer, by any species of sham, to crush the stronger Something more feasible can, surely, be devised. The present scheme is too paradoxical for a business people. They are paying too dearly for an accommodation they do not receive. Merchants cannot get bills discounted when gam blers find no difficulty in borrowing money to square a betting-book. When the latter must not venture to take the long odds, the former must not look for reasonable profits. "We are not to blame for all this,' say the bankers. Granted, they are not; but the system they administer is. They cling to it—they never remonstrate with its authors in the Legislature, and would sacrifice the greatest monuments of mercantile skill, industry, and enterprise the world ever saw, sooner than unite their voices to those of our traders, in protesting against the continuance of this imposture, which robs both rich and poor alike. The bankers of Lancashire have not uttered one word of discontent since the existing money panic commenced. Nor will they say one syllable unless they are forced to it by the pressure of pub lic opinion. A thousand commercial houses, such ,as Messrs. DENNISTOUN and Co.'s, might be sacri ficed to gratify the base avarice of the half-dozen .BETYLOCKS ,who pull the strings of our currency system, and who, with only eighteen-pence in the pound to meet their promises to pay, have the audacity to call themselves '• Bullionists," and refuse assistance, forsooth ! to merchants who can pay twenty shillings for every pound they owe, and throw retired men of fortune, from the field of their useful and hacourable labour. We were deeply concerned when ,we heard cf the reported suspension of the Northumberland and Durham Bank, as it was stated that no less than 200,000 souls received their weekly wages from this one institution. ; but we find that bankers are without sympathy for the trading and industrial classes. The inconveniences the trader experiences they look upon as matters of secondary importance. The real object of the present panic, however, must out sooner or later, lithe Bank of England be resolved not to give assistance to the Private or Joint Stock Banks of issue, it remains to be seen whether they can out live the hurricane, and keep the Threadneedle street olizarchy from monopolising the whole of the note issues of the kingdom. There is consi derable room for speculation on this head, but we really see no cause for any solicitude on the part of the mercantile community on the subject. Asjong as we have a cur. rency based on gold—a fixed standard price for that metal—the Bank of England monopolises the issue of legal tender notes — and the demands of the State and all local tax ation are payable in gold, the public cannot do better than leave Parliament and panics, ban kers and bankruptcy to fight it out. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will discover the full extent of the mischief which has already been done when he comes to the deficit he will find in the incomennd property tax for the current half-year. Liverpool will be a considerable gainer under this head, and if it was not for the loss the whole community sustain by the unjustifiable aban donment of such firms as Messrs. DENNISTOUN and Co.'s, amidst the whirlwinds of systimised usury and commercial depression, we would leave the rival banking interests, like the two Kilkenny cats, to fight it out with the London Times for their disinterested umpire. Meanwhile, we are glad to find that the suspension in ques tion will produce little or no effect in America. The amount of bills running in that direction, is comparatively small, and will be considerably more than balanced by the credits to be realised in the United States. The debts of the Aus ' tralian house are also secured in full, and will be paid in four instalments, of 6s. 81, 3s. 4d., ss. and ss, respectively—a proposition which was unanimously adopted by the creditors.

A rumour prevailed on Saturday, to the effect that the men unemployed about Prescot and neighbourhood would come into town in a hostile way. Some alarm prevailed among those cognizant of the fact. We are glad to say that, so far as hostility might b 3 named, there was no foundation whatever for the'rnmour. However, precautions ware taken by the authorities to prevent anything un pleasant, and at an early hour Mr. Supt. Boyd, and some men belonging to the police force, in uniform and plain clothes, proceeded to the Cattle Market, Old Swan Road, where they met about 40 men who ware drawing a large lorry laden with coal, (the same course was adopted by the men of the neighbourhood three years age) which they were dragging into town to dispose of. They wore very quiet, and said they were forced to this step by privations, caused by want of employm en t. The police advised them to return and not create any alarm, and having met purchasers for the coal, the men returned peaceably. There were rumours that groups had collected in some portions of the town, and exhibited disorderly and riotous symptoms, but on enquiry from the authorities we found there was no foundation for such reports. Maralre ANNIZ AnMrrreo TO Baia —Some days ago, this woman was sent for trial on a charge of keeping en improper house in Hotham-street, but Mr. Mansfield, who committed her, agreed to take two sureties in £lOO each, and herself in £2OO, f.)r her appearance. A difflaulty arose about producing the bail, as the law says that parties going sureties must be householders. An application was subse quently made by counsel, to Mr. Mansfield, to accept of a money bail--that is, to accept of two persons, who wou'd come forward and deposit one hundred p3unds each, and bind themselves that the prisoner should appear at the seasions, or, in default, they would forfeit the money so lodged. In support of this application, a case was cited, that had recently been decided by one of the judges, who adopted a similar course, and on this his Worship consented to accept of the money bail. On Saturday , the prisoner and her sureties came to the court to perfect the bonds. The bondsmen are Henry Sewell, cabinetmaker, 51, Brid port-street, and Robert Downing, tallow chandler, 20, Dinorbin-street, Windsor. These having deposited £lOO each, and having, along with the prisoner, signs() the bonds, she was liberates for the present. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF OF THE CANADA. The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Long, which sailed from Boston on the 18th, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 20th, entered the Mersey last evening shortly after seven o'clock. She passed Holyhead yesterday at half-past ten o'clock a.m., but, owing to the density of the fog, did not reach the river until the time above stated. The Canada brings 68 passengers, and has specie on freight as follows :-101,704 dollars, and 15,000 sovereigns. The screw steam-ship City of Washington arrived at New York on the sth, and the St. Louis, from Aspinwall, with the Californian mails, and gold dust amounting to 1,176,086 dollars, had reached New York; also the screw steamer Glasgow from the Clyde, and the Harmonia from Hamburg, were reported at the same port. By this arrival we have four days later intelli gence from all parts of the United States. Matters, as far as trade, commerce, and finance were concerned, continued to improve. The banks were discounting more liberally, but the rate of interest was still very high. From Washington we learn that Sir W. Gore Ousley was fully commissioned to treat with the United States Government, in all matters relating to the Central American question, as well as that respecting the Indian Protectorate of Mosquito. General Walker, the renowned filibuster, left New . Orleans on the 11th inst. in the Mobile packet. At the Belize, or somewhere in the neighbourhood, he was transferred to the steamer Fashion, and his now on his way to the field of his former exploits. He is accompanied by about four hundred men, and has provisions for three or four months and abundance of war material. The steamer Fashion was formerly a government vessel and employed as a transport. She was reeently advertised for sale by the United States Marshal at New Orleans. A correspondent at San Juan del Norte, writing under date of the 6th ult., gives a gloomy description of the condition of Nicaragua under its present rulers. Freedom of speech, much less of action, is entirely unknown. A word, almost a thought, is visited with imprisonment or exile. Several natives who favoured the government of General Walker have been shot, some are in prison, some are working in the wilds of Madagalpa, and many who were merely suspected of being friendly to the Americans have been banished the country. The people, he says, are groaning under heavy forced contributions to maintain an insolent soldiery in their peaceful villages, and everywhere a, sentiment of hostility, silent but deep, is felt by the people against their oppressors. Orders were sent from Washington to New Orleans on the 14th for the immediate despatch of revenue cutters in pursuit of General Walker. The authorities confidently expect to overhaul the enterprising filibuster before he effects a landing in Central America. Despatches have been received at Washington confirmatory of the report of the capture and des truction of government provision trains by the Mormons. This first over tact of treason against the federal authorities was perpetrated on the sth ult., near Pacific Spring. No one was killed in the affair, as the small escort of the trains offered no resistance, A Cabinet council was held to consult upon the intelligence, but probably nothing will be done until official despatches are received from Col. Johnston, the commander of the military expedition. It is stated that the Mormon force at Pacific Spring numbered seven hundred, and there was a force of fifteen hundred men at Great Salt Lake City. The effective strength of the army for Utah does not exceed one thousand, and a portion of them, being fresh from the everglades of Florida, are but ill fitted to contend with the rigorous slimate of the northwest. As it is not deemed possible to forward reinforcements and supplies until spring, the troops are in a desperate strait, and we soon expect news of a bloody collision between the opposite parties. It is stated that Colonel Johnston was determined to winter in the valley of the Great Salt Lake, and the route of the expedition had been changed in order to reach that point by a road less obstructed by snow than the one originally adopted. The Mormons were assembling in large forces to oppose the advance of the troops. There is still, however, some doubt as to the truth of the reports that have been received with regard to the action of the Mormons, and official despatches from Colonel Johnston to the Commander-in-Chief, now daily expected, are anxiously looked for. The Kansas Constitutional Convention concluded their labours and adjourned on the 7th instant. A provisional Government has been formed. with Mr. Calhoun, the United States Surveyor, for Governor, to go into immediate operation. The Convention adopted a separate clause sanctioning slavery, which section will be the only one sub mitted to the people. It is stated that there was a plan on foot to obtain the acceptance by Congress of the constitution before the meeting of the Territorial Legislature ; and it is furthermore stated that Governor Walker has been urged to - call an extra session of the Legislature, in order to head off the movement. The Legislature will be com posed of 45 representatives and 15 senators. Our despatches from Washington announce the reception, by the United States Government, of Senor Yrisarri, as Minister from Nicaragua, and the negotiation of a convention which will set at rest the transit dispute. The transit is to be free to all nations, and the United States is to keep the water open by force of arms, if necessary. Some trifling formalities remain to be observed before these important matters attain to their full effect, but in a day or two the Minister will have entered upon his functions, and the treaty will have.beon duly signed and despatched to Nicaragua in charge of a special envoy. From Cuba we have some interesting intelli gence. Preparations were being made for a grand military encampment, in which it was said the troops , destined to act against Mexico would be mauceuvred. The barque Vesta, of Boston, has been seized as a slaver. It was thought that General Concha would be retained in office. A Walker fillibuster movement against Cuba was dreaded. There were one hundred and ninety three thousand boxes of sugar on hand in Havannah and at Matanzas. Some of the joint stock specu tion concerns in Havannah had been wound up under executive order. Trade has improved, the weather was fine, and money scarce. We have nine days later news from California. The Executive Committee of the San Francisco Vigilance Committee had issued a pre nunciamiento, annulling the existing penalties against the expatriated individuals who fell under the ban of the organisation during its temporary existence. The penalty which has just been removed was death in case of return. Business was extremely dull in California, but nothing like a panic had appeared at the last date to disturb the financial operations. The storm has not yot reached the shores of the Pacific. Miners were represented as being as active as ever in pur suit of tha hidden treasure in the valleys and mountains of the State, and the yield, by the appli cation of an additional amount of labour; was still remunerative. From Carson Valley we learn that the Mormons had departed in a body for Salt Lake City. They numbered nearly one thousand souls, of whom only three hundred and fifty were men. Their departure left the remaining inhabitants partly unprotected from the ravages of hostile Indians, and an application had been made to the Governor of California for assistance. The emigra tion across the Plains was very large, and we have an account of one party from Missouri and Arkansas, numbering over one hundred persons, having been massacred by the Indians. Our advices from Honolulu are to the 7th of September. Th© ship Pike, of New Bedford, the first whaler of the season, arrived at Lahaina from Kodiaok on the 4th of that month, with nine , hundred and thirty barrels of whale and sperm oil. The weather had been rough at the fishing grounds. Small change and water were very scarce at the Sandwich Islands. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Niw YoRK, Nov. 17. MONETARY AFFAIRS. Our last advices were to the 14th inst. The same favorable features which we then noticed have continued to characterise the market in a still more decided manner. But several branches of trade, and the Dry Goods houses in particular, complain that the improvement is scarcely perceptible with them. Payments are not punctually met, and extensions have to be granted quite as much as during the month of October, the banks being unwilling to discount anything but unexceptionable paper. These circumstances must lead to still further postponement in the liquidation of balances due to Europe, and tend to maintain, perhaps for several months, the exchanges in favor of the United States. The news per Arabia, with Liverpool dates to the 31st ult , announcing the taking of Delhi, and the satisfactory manner in which the suspension of our banks had been received abroad, has imparted a fresh impulse to the Stock Market, manifesting itself in a rise of 1 to 15 per cent. with the most specula. tive movement known since the conimeacement of the crisis. The banks have not yet come to a decision as to the resumption of specie payments—but as gold continues to flow to this point from all quarters, the resumption will probably take place within a short time without disturbance, Further important orders for Stocks con tinuo to come from Europe, but they aro for the most part limited below present quotations. The Michigan Central Railroad loan of 2,000,000 dole., 8 per cent., 1832, (Ist mortgage) has been taken at 70 to 85—bids were made for nearly double the amount asked for. The New York state loans of 500,000 dole, six per cent, 1857, hits been awarded at 105.40 to 108.13, or at an average of 106.21—the bids amounted to 1,014 000 dole. The New York and Erie Railroad loan progresses slowly. The subscriptions on account of the 6.000,000 dole wanted, amounting at present to about 1,250,000 dols. The Michigan Southern and Northern Indian Railroad loan is likewise making slow progress—the subscriptions amount ing to about 200,000 dole on account of 2,000,000 dole wanted. The Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad proposes to pay its floating debt with an issue of 600 000 dole ten per cent five years second mortgage bonds, about 200,0000 dole of which have been subscribed. Money is very abundant. Loans on call, 7to 6, and in some instances even at 5 per cent. First-class paper in demand at 10 to 18 per cent ; second-class, few purchasers at 20 to 36 per cent. American gold, 1011 to 1.001. Exchanges rather weaker, with a moderate business. London, 107 to 108 ; Paris, 5 30 to 3.25 MARIE & Kenz. Since our last advices of the 14th inst., the upward movement at the Stock Exchange has continued without interruption. The disinclination manifested by capitalists, in the face of a rapid accumulation of capital, to discount business paper, except with the greatest circum spection, produces a singular contract in our Money market. The rates of discount outside of bank are from 12 to 24 par cent,, while loans on call, with good securities, have been done as low as from 4to 7 per cent. This state of things has had the effect of causing, to a great extent, investments in stocks, and we have to notice a week of great activity on the Stock Exchange, and a disposition to buy, such as we have not had for many months. This has been felt as well in investment securities as in the more or less speculative Railroad Stocks. The fear as to the news which the Arabia might bring from Liverpool, to the 31st of October, hardly moderated the demand for Stocks ; and the favourable interpretation given to this news, when arrived on the 15th instant, caused a still greater activity and advance, to which the purchasers of the beers, in order to deliver their contracts, have con tributed. At the same time, commerce generally remains in a state of inaction, which contrasts singularly with the excitement on the Stock Exchange. DE COPPETT & Co. COTTON. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week a disposition to buy was manifested, at 13c for middling, 131 c for good middling Uplands and 13ic for middling Orleans, chiefly on orders for Live-pool and the continent of Europe. On Friday, however, the Arabia's advices brought our market once more to a dead stand, and the transactions have been quite 8111511 for several days. It is difficult to give quota tions as holders do not press their stook for sale, and the quantity here is still very limited. Those annexed mus: be considered nominal. The sales for the week I estimate at 2,000 bales. The export has been 1,087 bales, all for Liverpool. COTTON IN TRANSITU.—Owittg to the non-arrival of the steamer from New Orleans, we are without the expected samples, and there are no transactions to report. Two parcels only are at present offered. SOUTHERN Manners, for the week under review, have all been active, at an advance in each. The buying has been mainly for English account, with some little for France and the continent of Europe. By telegraph we learn that upon receipt of the unfavourable news per Arabia, a decline 'tree submitted to---in Charleston and Savannah to the extent of only 4-c. to tie. por lb. ; but in Mobile and New Orleans of ac. to lc. per lb. A fair amount of business was being done at the decline, nearly all on English account. By telegraph the following has been received : New Octuiarrs, November . 14: Receipts for the week, 40,000 bales ; same week list year, 59,000. Decrease in receipts at this port compared with last year, 160,000, and at the Southern ports, 286,000 ; sales for the week, 30,000. Middling, 11 c to 11c per lb, and active. Exports for the week—To Liverpool, 22,000 ; Havre, 9,000. Exchange on London 95 to 100 per cent. Freight to Liverpool, id per lb. MOBILE, November 14 : Receipts for the week, 7,000 bales ; same week last year, 12,000 ; sales for the week, 8,000 ; stock on hand, 34,000. Prices nominal. Freight to Liverpool, 3d per lb. SAVANSAII, November 14 : No frost to injure cotton ; little doing. Market firm, at an Ac to lc per lb advance. CROP : The prospects for crap have materially improved owing to the absence of frost, and the unusually fine weather for maturing and picking which has prevailed over the great cotton producing region since the middle of September. It must now be conceded that the backward ness of the crop, by late spring and cold, has been fully made up, and the general absence of complaint warrants the hope that the ultimate yield will exceed the estimates lately put forth at the South. The advent of frost has been so protracted that its occurrence now will have little or no effect upon quantity. Very s)on I hope to be in possession of facts, upon which to base an opinion in figures of the probable extent of the crop. REcuirrs.—Planters are yet unwilling to send their crops freely to market, hence the receipts at the ports for the week under review amount to bat 52,000 bales, against 93,000 bales during the corresponding week of last year. The total deficit at all the ports is now 286,000 bales, as compared with last year. By telegraph for a week later from New Orleans, we learn that 40,000 bales have been received ; and, no doubt, the advance in price at all the seaboard markets will induce planters to send their cotton forward more rapidly. Exrons.—ln sfite of all obstacles, cotton moves to its legitimate destination—the consuming markets of the world. The export for the week is 35,000 bales, of which 24,000 bales are for Great Britain. The excess over last year to same time for England is 41,000 bales. To France the decrease is 29,000 bales ; to other foreign ports there is an excess of 1,000 bales. Thera is no immediate prospect of Great Britain receiving less than she requires, as we learn by telegraph that 22,000 bales were cleared from New Orleans for Liverpool alone during the week ending 13th instant, and that the balk of 30,000 bales sold was also for that port.
