MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL, LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING The Africa's advices have had bat little if any effect upon the state of the Cotton Market to-day. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took 2,500. Prices of all kinds remain much the same as on Friday. We append our usual periodical report of the quantity of American Cotton at sea, including all advised per Africa : „, NSW YORE. Ashburton Calhoun . Silas Wright Vanguard .. Phoenix ....

Schceder and Co. :—The advancing tendency of Cotton prices still continues, and since our last report of the 30th ult., quotations are ac higher ; we have to quote middling New Orleans 131-c ; middling Upland 121 c. There has been a fair demand during the week, and the market closes very firm. Accounts from the South about the new crop are exceedingly unfavourable, and there are few now who expect a yield over three millions of bales. Freights are a shade firmer, and rates to Liverpool 5-32 d ; to Havre 4d. Money is tight. Exchange on Eng land quiet. Sterling 91d. Paris 5-161. The same firm thus report the New Orleans market :—Sales of the week are 31,000 bales; the market closes animated ; Low Middling is worth 12ic ; Middling 12ic to 121 c. Accounts of the crop from the country are bad, and estimates decreasing. There is a large demand for France and all the Continent. Clearances for Great Britain for the week, none. Receipts this week amount to 5i,000 bales, against 40,000 bales same time last year. Freight to Liverpool, id. Exchange dull. London 81 per cent. _ _ _ Vv In our Local Share Market there was not so good a feeling at the commencement to-day, as on Saturday, but as the afternoon wore on, an improve ment took place. There was a good business transacted in the heavy stocks, particularly Lanca shire and Yorkshire, Midlands, Eastern Counties, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and Dovers, were in strong request. We note the following sales : —Chester and Holyhead, 16, 3-16, 1. Eastern Counties, 9, 1-16, 4, 1-16. East Lancashire, 204. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 944, 94, 944, 4, 34, 4.

We have not any material change to notice in the state of the Money Market, at the same time there is still little desire to do bills except at extreme rates. The market for Public Securities opened this morning with quietnes, but last week's rates were sustained. Consols for Money opened at 914 914, and the same for the 6th of November, and subsequently were 911 914. The Three per Cents Reduced are 914 914 ; and the New Three per Cents, 92 924. In the afternoon Consols were 924 921 for Money lied Account. The New Threes were marked 911 914. Exchequer Bills, 2s to 5s prem , and do. Bonds, 981. A very moderate business was done in Railway Shares this morning in London, and prices did not rule quite ao high. A decline of about 4to 1 per cent may be quoted on most of the chief lines. Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee are 331 Great Northern, 921 931. Great Western, 641 641. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 944. North Western, 1024 1024. South Western, 1031 1044. Midland, 771 771 North British, 37. North Eastern, Berwick, 791 ; and South Eastern, 681. There is still a pause in the grain trade. The weather continues fine, and is in some respects rather improving the quality of the new grain. At Mark-Lane, to-day, there was but little done in English wheat, but there was not any change in prices. The trade generally, although quiet, was steady, Telegraphic despatches from other quer ters give a similar view of the grain trade, There is a steady feeling in the Produce Markets both of Liverpool and London. Sugar, tea, and coffee maintain late rates, and the enquiry for tea has improved, sound common oongou bringing 94d. to 94d. per lb. in the London market. The price of tallow is stiffly maintained, and more en quiry has sprung up. The usual weekly return of the Shipping Statis tics of the Port of Liverpool was issued from the Bill of Entry " Office this morning, from which we glean the following particulars : Entered Inwards Week ended 26th Oct., 1856 V.th Oct., 185.5 Increase in Ships ..21.

It becomes important, then, for all public companies to comply with its provisions in due time, or they will be subject to much inconvenience. The shipping returns published by the East India and China Association show an increase in the entries of 14 vessels and 72,000 tons from the Ist January to the 30th September, the total being 928 vessels with 607,760 tons, against 914 vessels with 535,360 tons in 1855. The clearances show a decrease of 5, and an increase of 10,063 tons; the total being 993 vessels with 713 337 tons, against 998 vessels with 703,e74 tons in 1855. This morning the monthly returns of the Board of Trade, for th e month en de d September 30, 1856, wereissued. We subjoin the total declared value of the exports of . British and Irish produce and manu f ac tures during the m ont h , including only the "enumerat ed articles For the month, 1856 . 1855 , 1854 , • . £9,165,653 • 7 . 8 64,420 • 8,e64,799 Including the unenurnerated articles, the month's returns are raised to 10,216,6711, against 9,072, 6591 in 1855, and 9,261,5651 in 1854. For the nine months ended September 30, 1856, the returns for all Articles were 84,906,6051 as compared with 69,226,8371 in 1855, and 76,657,924.1 in 1854. Our commercial advises, per the Africa from New York are, on the whole, of a satisfactory cha racter. Money was rather more stringent. The New York Market had beco me h eavy un d er the influence of the Persia's news. and the pressure for money. Cotton continued rather firm, and most articles of breadstuffs had an upward tendency. 1 Freight s h a d b ecome ra ther more a c ti ve, particu- I jarly for breadstuffs. THE NORTHERN TIMES. that the amount of disease is quite equal to that of the year 1846. Fruit has also been an absolute failure, not only in this country, but abroad. We can, however, well afford this, owing to the luxuriant cerial crops of the present season. But we have yet further, encouragement to look forward to a reduction in the priei3 of wheat. From abroad we may expect almost inexhaustible supplies. The imports of grain into this country during the past year, ending the 30th of September, have perhaps been larger than ever kown. Thus, in the port of Liverpool alone, there have been entered 1,083,932 quarters of wheat, 1,137,932 barrels and 231,441 sacks of flour, and of Indian corn 775,394 quarters. But this is comparatively nothing to what is promised us. From America we could draw almost sufficient to support the entire country, irrespective of our own home-grown crops. We have, further, Egypt and Southern Russia, and the Baltic again open to us, so that let corn factors do what they will, they cannot for any lengthened period keep up present prices. On every side, then, our prospects, owing to the recent bountiful har vest, are cheering. It is an undeniable fact, that the condition of the masses—the skilled labourers throughout the country in every branch of business—in the rural, manufacturing, and in the maritime districts, was probably never so good as at present, and as a consequence, their ability to consume the highest description of flour, beef, and mutton is increased. It i., indeed, matter of general remark among tradesmen, that when work is abundant and wages high, the artizan and working classes of England will not be content but with the very best provisions, and that they are more difficult to please than even the middle or higher sections of society. On the whole, then, there is much cause for rejoicing at the result of the late harvest. CURRAGHMORE HORSE SALE. On Wednesday la.t, the annual horse sale at Curraghmore came off, and the very large number of horses to be sold, as well as the superior quality of some of those in the list, coupled with the extreme fineness of the weather, induced an immense attendance of persons from all parts of Ireland. From an early hour equipages of all descriptions might be seen approaching Curraghmore, and at noon the company assembled in the courtyard was very great—it would be impossible to give a list. Soon after the hour named, which was half-past twelve o'clock, the noble marquis led the way to the dining ball, in which a splendid lunch was laid out. It was thronged with guests, who did ample justice to the viands, spread in such profusion before them. About half-past one Mr Turner mounted his rostrum. Tho bidding was, on the whole, very brisk. Lord George was sold to Sir John Clarke for £3BO ; Stretcher to Henry Calwell, Mary borough, for £2OO ; Anvil, to Mr. Reeves, for £l3O ; Tamworth to Captain Young, Maryborough, for £400; Gemina to Major Smith, county Meath, for £270 ; Great Britain to Captain Brereton, Arthurstown, £l3O ; Moon shine to Captain Young, for £123; Play Boy to Mr. Far rell, for £l7O ; Oberon to Colonel Burdett, for £140; Moor of Venice to the Earl of Clonmel, for £lOO, YEARLINGS.—B c by Seahorse, sold to Captain Davis, for £135; b f by Seahorse, to Wm Ryall, for £140; b c by Sea horse, to Mr. Roe, for £lB5 ; b c by Barbarian, to Mr. Grey, Kingstown, vice consul of Belgium, for £l4O • b f Hebe, by Bandy, to George Johnston, £lBO ' • c f by Chit Chat, t o S amue l Elliott, Carlow, for £lB5 ; c f by War Hawk, to Mr, Spenser, Atklow, for £lOO. 30 Sires and hunters 11 Two-year-olds 18 Yearlings I I Brood mares . , £3,148 19 0 263 10 0 . 1,390 0 0 . 266 0 0 £5,068 9 0 Ihrsol.n.—Barbarian, valued at £l,OOO ; the Marquess, £200; Sailor, £3OO ; Wild Irish Girl, £2OO.

Apart from any racing or sporting consideration, it would seem as if the breeding of first class cattle is a most profitable branch of farming. Here we have 18 yearlings sold for £1,390, or about £77 each ; and 7 not sold valued at £2,400, £B4O each ; and as these horses have not been trained, or any material expense incurred with them, and are only 16 or 17 months old, they form, as we have said, a very remunera tive speculation.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA [A. synopsis of the following appeared in a late edition of yesterday's NORTHERN TIMES.] The steamer Africa, Captain Shannon, has just arrived from New York. She has brought 794,666 dollars in specie, of which 260,633 are for shipment to Havre, and fifty passengers, among whom we find the name of Lieutenant Steward, R.N., Admiralty Agent, in charge of the Mexican mails, due in England Ist October, which were detained in consequence of the loss of the West India R M S. packet Tay, in the Gulf of Mexico. The Africa, during her passage, spoke the following vessels :-16th Oct., 5.30 a.m., passed, steamer Ericsson, from Liverpool ; also, a two masted steamer bound west ; 17th, passed the Bremen barque Meridian ; 15th, passed, in New York Bay, the American ship Great Western, America, French barque St. Jean, of Havre, brig Louise, of Bremen, all bound in east ; 26th, passed barque Peruvian, bound east. The steamer Persia, which left here on the 4th instant, arrived out at New York o;1 the morning of the 14th By thi ftcr a passage of less than ten days. Africa we have our files of papers frr - in New York to the 15th *instant, which is four days later, but they are wholly destitute of news beyond the movements connected with the pendingelection, which appears to have been absorbing the entire attention of the public. The Pennsylvanian election had passed over, and was quite an ovation in favour of Mr. Buchanan. Two Democratic Congressmen are gained in Philadelphia, and it is believed that the entire Legislative ticket, both in the city and county, comprising fifteen representa tives and two senators in all, is elected. This, with other counties heard from, renders it almost certain that the new legislature will be democratic; probably by a large majority. Accounts from Savana state that the whole Democratic (Buchanan) Municipal ticket has been elected in Savana, and this is an evidence of the feeling in the south. According to the New York papers, it would appear that there was a fusion between the Buchanan and Fillmore party. We subjoin the following from a late issue (Oct. 14) of the New York Journal of Commerce : The Mobile Register, alluding to a meeting in Mobile on the 6th of July, says : _ _ _ On the evening of that day there was a meeting of the Samuels in the public square. Mr. Manning presided, assisted by thirty-two vice-presidents and two secre taries. At the meeting the nominations for State senator and representatives were announced. Of the vice presidents, thirteen have declared their intention to support Mr. Buchanan ; the two secretaries have done the same. Of - the five gentlemen nominated for the legislature, four have abandoned Fillmore. Here, then, from a select body of thirty-six gentlemen, the flower of Sam's party, seventeen, or nearly one-half, have, to use the polite phrase of the organ, deserted. There had been also held one of the largest Democratic meetings ever known in Cumberland, Pa. Gathered around three different stands were from six to eight thousand persons who were addressed by General Coon, of Wisconsin, Charles W. Carrigan, Colonel Shaun, and half a dozen others. The principal houses in the town were gaily decorated. The Democrats had a meeting at Easton, pa., on Friday, which was not behind the above in num bers and enthusiasm. The people were addressed by Hon. 11. F. Hallett, of Boston, Joshua V. Owens, and 0. E. Brown, of Easton. The Democrats of Harrison county, Ohio, assembled at Cadiz, on the 9th inst. The number present was estimated at 10,000. Among the speakers were Judge Hart, of Cincinnati, and Hon. Mr. Clernmens, of Virginia. The Cadiz Sentinel says that the Republicans will not get more than two hundred majority in that county, where they have been claiming a thousand. There was a large turn-out of the Democracy at Carrollton, Ohio, last week, A procession numbering 4,000 persons, was formed. The meeting was addressed by Judge Hart and Hon. R. G. Atkinson. _There is little in the miscellaneous items of intelligence. The people of Richmond Co irre spective of party, assembled at the Patten House, on the evening of the 10th instant, and adopted resolutions declaring the necessity of removing the Quarantine station, and urging the people to enlist in the work, without regard to party. Henry M. Ward was unanimously nominated as the people's candidate for Assembly on the Quarantine issue. Mr. Ward accepted the nomination in a brief speech, declaring• himself a devoted friend of the proposed removal. A large number of persons were present, and the proceedings were very harmonious. It was rumoured at Columbia, S.C., that the Governors of the fifteen Southern States will meet at Releigh to-morrow, to consider what steps will be necessary to take for the protection of the rights of the Southern States, should Mr. Fremont be elected to the Presidency. The steamer George Law had arrived at New York with California advises to the 20th ult. from San Francisco, and nearly two millions of dollars in specie. In San Francisco there was a move ment on foot to unite the various elements in opposition to the democrats, who are the bitter enemies of the Vigilance Committee. It was some what doubtful, however, whether the project would succeed, and in the event of failure the triumph of the democrats was regarded as certain. The democrats have nominated Charles L. Scott and Jos. C. M‘Kibben for Congress. They are of the Gwin or anti-Broderick faction. Messrs. John L. Durkee and Charles E. Rand had been tried on a charge of piracy, for assisting in the removal of the State arms from on board the schooner Julia, in the harbour of San Francisco, during the reign of the Vigilants. The jury rendered a verdict of acquittal, after but five minutes deliberation. A suit had been brought against the Panama Railroad _ _ Company, to recover' 20,000 dols damages for injuries received by the accident of the 6th of May last. A number of other parties were awaiting the result of the action. Judge Terry had resumed his seat upon the bench. Trade was dull in San Francisco, but with the removal of social disorders a return of business activity was confidently looked for. The Alta California gives the following summary of the intelligence : Since the sailing of the last steamer, we have had rains in various parts of the State, very much to the edification of the miners. On the sth a destructive fire broke out in Marysville, in which some forty buildings, mostly occupied by Mexicans and Chinese, were destroyed. The town of Colusi was entirely destroy ed by fire about the same time. The settlers of Sacramento held a meeting on the 7th, to consider the recent decision of the Supreme Court of this State, declaring the right of claimants of inchoate grants to eject settlers previous to a final confirmation by the United States Court They passed resolutions to maintain their possession at all hazards, until the decision of the United States Supreme Court. The shock of an earthquake was recently felt at Monterey and Santa Cruz. Governor Foote and Bailie Peyton are addressing the American party throughout the State. Hon. M. S. Latham and Thomas J. Henley are stumping the State for the Democratic ticket. Colonel E. D. Baker and F. P. Tracy are travelling among the Republicans. The Supreme Court has decided that the Governor has no power to remove Notaries Public. A grand political barbecue, at which the Democratic, American, and Republic orators all made speeches, was held at San Jose on Wednesday and Thursday. All of the parties in the State profess to be sanguine of success, and in the present con dition of political affairs, it is impossible to predict with certainty how the State will go. The Democratic State Convention met on the 9th, at Sacramento, and after three days' session, completed the following nominations :—For Congress, Jos. M'Kibben and Charles L. Scott ; Clerk of the Supreme Court, Charles S. Fairfax ; Presidental Electors, A. C. Bradforb, P. De la Torre, George Freanor, and Augustin Olivera ; Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, A. J. Moulder. The ticket is anti-Broderick through out. One pan of dirt, taken a few days since from " Rough and Ready" claim, yielded 304 dollars. Dr. B. F. Keene, formerly State Senator, from El Dorado, was found dead in his bed, in Placerville—the result of paralv,is. From all portions of the mining region we hear the most favourable accounts. Extensive prepara tions are beit:g made in anticipation of the rainy season, to work the dry gulches and ravines where there is no water. We continually hear of "rich strikes," and it is probable that there never were more favourable prospects in the min ing region than there are at present. The Indians predict that there will be a great deal of rain this winter. After the storm has come the inevitable calm. San Francisco is as quiet and harmonious as a country village. The " Piracy" suit in the United States Circuit Court terminated in favour of the defendants on the 11th instant. Some excitement existed dnring the trial, and after the prisoners were discharged, a procession was formed, and marched to all parts of the city, exhibiting much enthusiasm. The Grand Jury of the United States District Courts have rendered true bills for murder against Farnsworth and Forbes. officers of the Golden Gate. O' one of their July trips they confined John Bowen, a seaman, so near the steam pipe that he was suffocated. The courts have no startling cases before them, the assessed property has been equalised, and the decision made by the Board of Supervi4ors, declar ing the sheriff and coroner no longer entitled to hold their offices, has been referred to the Supreme Court. The governing apparatus moves on loosely, but without noise. l e Trade has been dull, but many fine buildings are in the course of construction. There are but few ships in the harbour, though a great number are on the way. The rooms of the Vigilance Committee have been closed, the arms put away, and the sentinels removed. The police find few to arrest, few deaths take place, few are sick, and weather is warm. From Panama we learn that Bartolome Calve, Governor elect of this State, was inaugurated at Panama, and we understand that a considerable demonstration was made on the occasion. We have ever had faith in the integrity, tact, and energy of Calve. He is a mulatto, a native of Carthagena, a practical man, and a brother typo ; and was the most influential editor of the Isthmus for two years, during which we were labouring in the same field at Panama. Like other New Grana dians, he is exceedingly jealous of foreign influ ence, and as a politician, he is crafty and assuming, but we have always found him more honourable than others. Tf he ninnot deliver the State from the slough into which it has fallen, no one will be secured whOse services will avail. The termination of the factional strife which has been carried on at Panama for several weeks, upon the Gubernatorial question, having been accomplished by the inaugu ration of the candidate elected, has to a consider able extent, restored security to the minds of the natives and citizens of tlp , .t city and vicinity; and everything wears a more settled aspect. Our local business will now revive, and we trust that the reaction from the state of lethargy into which all our business men had fallen, will induce a brisk time for some months to come. ' We have dates from Mexico to the 2nd ult. The difficulty between Great Britain and the republic seems to be rapidly approaching a crisis. The British Legation was closed on the 2nd ult., the Mexican government failing to comply with the requisition respecting the Tepic affair. The British Charge had removed to Tacubaya, there to await further instructions from his govern ment. "In the meantime British squadrons are to be in readiness to act both on the Gulf and west coasts of Mexico, should it be decided to push matters to that extremity in enforcing re clamation. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, The advices under this head report that the New York Money Market was easy, after having been somewhat stringent, consequent upon the receipt of the news of the advance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England. Messrs. De Coppett and Co., in their Circular, say ; Darinc , the two or three days which sue - eded our advices of the 6th inst., a very active demand for Money manifested i►self in our market, the effect of which was a marked decline upon the majority of our stocks, as is shown by the subjoined table of daily quotations. Since then, although the demand for Money has very much slackened, the market has not recovered. The news brought by the arrivals to the 4th instant of a contradiction of Money and of a rise in the rates of interest in the principal cities of Europe, has had its share of influence in the decline above noticed. This influence is scarcely tempered by the general healthy appearance of the commercial affairs of the country, for it is worthy of remark that outside of the City of New York there is no scarcity of Money; and that in the interior, as well as in the various seaboard cities, as also at New Orleans, Money remains easy. Money, after having been in very active demand for two or three days, is less so at the end of the week. Loans on call at 7 per cent. Paper at 8 to 10 for first-class, and 10 to 12 for less known signa tures. Some counterfeits:discovered amongst the paper in circulation have produced, for a moment, some caution in transactions. The market for foreign exchange was firm, and the quotations on London were steady at 1091 to 109 a. The cotton market was firm, and in the absence of an adequate supply in New York, prices had advanced one quarter cent per pound. The New York list reports the decrease in receipts at 73,962 bales ; in the exports to Great Britain 64,385 bales ; in the exports to foreign ports, 69,219 bales; in the stock on hand on shipboard, 72,389 bales ; and in the stock on hand, 79,239 bales. COTTON. There has been very little cotton on demand, most of the stock being controlled by speculators, and prices have again slightly improved with a very firm market, and an increasing difficulty in buying desirable grades even at the rates nominally current. We advance our quotations for middling lc from the rates given in our last week's issue, but there is little offering within this range, while ordinary is entirely nominal. The sales for the week are 16,000 bales, part from second hands, and including a number of invoices to arrive. We annex an extract from the circular of Mr. W. P. Wright :-- CROPS, RECEIPTS, &c. : We have by mail further par ticulars from the cotton region, and it no longer admits of a doubt that the frost of the Ist of October was severe enongh to do injury to the cotton on the low and bottom lands ; the accounts also state that the second growth or top crop will be a complete failure this year. The immediate effect of this prospect for the crop has been a reduction in the South from 3,000,000 to 2,800,000 bales as its probable maximum extent, and the establishment of prices for middling qualities, which with the present rates of freight and exchange, would require 71c1 to 71l per lb. to save from loss in Liverpool, and which is Id to lid above the ruling price there at the date of sailing of the Persia, on 4th October. The receipts are retarded at Mobilo by low rivers, at the other points they are free, planters no doubt being induced to hurry their crops forward in order to secure the prevailing high currency. No lack of buyers, however, exist in any of the Southern markets, for every bale is sold as soon as sampled. Our Northern spinners seem determined to secure a fair amount of the early receipts, and are operating freely at the South and in this market. BREADsTuPrts : The receipts although pretty liberal have not been so free as of late. Still we do not look for much cessation until closing of canal. Freights are drooping throughout the west, showing that there is not much stuff pressing forward. Our market has a very hardening aspect. The daily sales have been fully equal to the offerings. And we close with an advance of 6c t o 10c per bushel on wheat, 20c 25c per brl on flour, and Ic per bushel on Indian corn. A good business still continnes to be done to France, Spain, and Portugal. IRON : The market for Sc itch Pig remains as before quoted, say 30 dols 50c to 31 dols 50c, but there is not much doing. For railroad there is considerable enquiry. In bars we have heard of nothing done since the large sales noted in our last. Sheath continues in good demand, and for Russia prices tend upwards; the Boston market, we understand, having been cleared at 12c to 12-I,c, and 13c and upwards is now asked there. The sales here include 500 packs second quality ; Rus sia at tOit,c ; 300 bundles English Singles, 3 i ,T i c ; 200 do Dou bles, 47- 4 -c; and 100 do Trebles, 441-c 6 mos. PnovisioNs : A considerable portion of the old stock of beef has been sold to go to New Bedford at 15 dole per tierce. There is not a transaction to report in prime mess pork. Western smoked bacon is selling at 10e per lb, and very dull at that. We have nothing more to report in dry salted sides for future delivery. Cut meats are rather better again. Cheese have been largely dealt in, and have advanced— the choicest dairies are held at 11c pc; lb. Butter is firmer and in fair demand at 26e to 20c:: for Ohio, and 18c to 24c per lb for State. LARD is heavy at a decline of lc per lb. The offerings of old are light, but of new the market is freely supplied, and is offered freely at 12c. per lb for December delivery. TALLOW : A dull and heavy market; sales at 12ic and 12ic per lb. OILS : The excitement noticed in English Linseed in our last continues unabated ; the sales have been large, but mostly to arrive. Stocks of both English and American are now exhausted, and tle , price is higher now than it has been in the last ten years in this market. S des have been effected of English afloat at 104 dollars per gallon ; American is held at 100 dollars. Crude Sperm is quiet at last week's prices. Bagged is without change. Whale is very quiet, but prices are maintained. NAVAL STORES : The difficulty in procuring freight room still keeps the market dull. Com-non Rosin, under more liberal receipts, has declined to 160 dollars afloat and 162. i per 310 lbs. delivered from yard. Fine Rosins are still scarce ; 700 brls Pale White sold at 5 dollars 75c per 280 lbs, without finding buyers. Tar stock is getting less, and prices are 25c better since our last. SUGAR: There has continued an active demand from the trade and refiners, and wo have again to notice an advance of lc the market now standing this much above the highest point previously attained this year. TOBACCO is firm, but the market has become quiet Sales 178 hhds Kentucky and Maysville at lOie to 16c ; 70 b a l es Havana, 27c to 40c ; 31.8 cases Seed Leaf, 10c to 24c ; and 66 bales Cienfuegos, on private terms. In Manufactured, there continues a steady good demand, though there is less excitement than prevailed two or three weeks ago. Half pound lumps are scarce; and a shade higher ; pound lumps and small work are also in deficient supply, but prices , though very firm, have not advanced within a few days. WHALEBONE is quiet, but held very firmly. Sales .5,000 lbs South Sea, for export, at 55c ; and 3,000 lbs North West Coast, for hom e use, 60 c, cash. At New Bedford, it is held firmly at 68c to 70c for Ochotsk, and 63c to 65c for Kodiac. FREIGHTS TO LIVERPOOL : Grain, 9,1 d to 103 per bushel. Close firmer at Flour, 2s per brl. Heavy Goods, 25s to 27s per ton. To Londcn, flour, 2s 93 to .3s per barrel ; grain, Ild to 11 id per bushel. To Havre, cotton, to per lb; flour, 75c per barrel : grain, 20c per bushel.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN T 9 55• Sir,—The two candidates for this Ward ha° now appeared before the electors, an d each _ hae. stated the grounds on which he thinks a rePr e. sentative should be elected. Into the long sttig°ll6 about Alderman Bold, I will not enter--bees— it possesses no intrinsic worth, to entitle it to,five f m or ad tl e le a. • minutes' consideration—it is enough electors that Mr. Lloyd, in their name , present of municipal honours, intended really deserving, to a man whose sole claim lay in the services he rendered during a Parliamentary election, which brought Liverpool, and Liverpee men, into ,a most discreditable notoriety this remark, I therefore dismiss that branc h the subject. Mr. Lloyd affected an immense ia • of virtuous indignation at a statement .ma-7 • Mr. Jeffery's address. Mr. Jeffery will he ti "! • it, that the Council, as a body, a re n ter O hara-- utter ignorance of the, extent and ()de for. the of .the Corporate Estate, and of the 111- ; l ily in which it is managed, and this he tells the electors. Mr. Lloyd, the Cou ncillor ! ) : fifteen years, cannot stand this at all, and he le have it that the statement is a grievous libel o.'tv . collective wisdom Modestly passing over sncre'; and one, he contents himself, with naming °ro l e. maining three of the sixty-four magnates of err Council as having made the Corporate Estate tn. Bible, out ,of which they are prepared to quote ew' o f ter and verse when the spirit moves them. T ° o el these three are the present Mayor and Mr. SO Holme; and they, with Mr. Buck Lloyd a s °l i la' of alter ego, are the keepers of the Ma ti c ii 'es'i conscience. Admitting that the two forraer7oo as much as Mr. Lloyd says they do, that is Jul /a•, of the features of the case, which leaves the'e' plaint substantially correct—unless, indeed,w9l9o(l.; content with the necessary knowledge beingli i ta .,, e / cl , to those two: men. But we are not yet reu,, A ,'" to this extremity, for Mr. Lloyd himself caa reP oll as he tells us, a flood of light which will be AT. we'; to dazzle and delight us. Charge whom e L l3 ' please with ignorance, but, pray, make hul ; ear. exception, for, was he not a partner, in the' Yda 1833, with the then Town Clerk, who had 111 ' It , out a schedule of the Corporate propertf,A,ak then stood? He was a partner. He hims e ".. i i 0 • not exactly speak German, but he once ha id• brother who could play the German flute• these are the pegs on which his election was made to hang. A something more he ~ .s l°, o a l say and did say, but it was rather of a character. He had been fifteen years their " . ` t i ao'' sentative, and he wished, very earnestly iriet„4o;,,' stand in the same character for three y ears' woe they were such a respectable constituency; years' would be so very much honoured by being,`";eor,. the object of their choice. Of his shortcon i , i iat longcomings, as their representative, he sP 9 ,l t are: , • a word, nor of his intended conduct for the 1 ,7, i - bia These matters were too vulgar to be intr o - ; where sentiment was the order of the day. 4 . - 0 1 Well, these recommendations may suit the 1 :g - sl l ', of some; but, good or bad as they are, they a ' a . to that Mr. Lloyd had to offer, or thought Prett-ailel. offer, and we are thus left to speculate on WP7- ntit . the real qualifications and duties of a represe.4o,, tive. If we turn to the speech of Mr. Je f f e - i , l l' are enlightened a good deal on this point ; it we are reminded that political power I °L o siP ferred on us for the purpose of protecting °l, n — cif i t * '' and the interests of society. Mr. Jeffery' aer, r t 0 ledges the ,responsibility he would rest 11 0 `..01' us as our representative ; and in his pas t 111 4111 1 we have ample guarantee that he mean s ;pot says. He is one of ourselves, familiar With a' we', wants, and familiar with the remedies; ne t , ' 1 1 , 1 6 it 3 taking the poorest man by the hand h 11 oppressed, and scorning political ties v 4 10 11, 1 0 1; prevent him from pursuing the stern path of 3 0 0 ; Really it is -an insult to the electors to be n 1316 00' to show their preference in a case where one ' parties is so complete a blank. There was one gentleman present at Mr . - meeting who seemed in at ease. I allude w i l oo' Thomas Reay ; and if he could but have se e l l i bist his new political acquaintances were thrusting 0 014, tongues in their cheeks at his innocence , he have doffed at once the livery they have gi ven facet , and which he then wore, and flung it in the'rrflair, " I am the chairman of the joint committee n'itealA, street Ward," says Mr. Reay. Pray, I S r i .,..i r ;:sl . r,l . whom does your committee represent ? "",c e r F••,' only the Tory electors, who are banded tog 9 "i ol4 ' support Mr. Lloyd, and who have trill:4 ) i ! 0 01 into the position of Chairman, in the hope tu n fi r a•e l: would operate as the decoy-duck to some in,, e s" oft the liberal electors who might be as unaue l3 4 ;7o as yourself. Retire, Mr. Reay ; retire in adotioir save yourself from the lasting sense of ddraitistl2,' which a more active support of a Tory egiilon. man of your own principles will involve . We; vote for Mr. Jeffery will be nothing here a or Tot! , he can afford to lose it ; but, by supporti n g - aie . against him, you lose what you can never 1000' your self-respect and the respect of your Car' tradesmen in the ward, be they Liberal o r servative. By this time you must have seelp tdn you have been duped ; your friend Jonas 1 e A l f many for you.
