MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY EVENING.
Our Cotton Market has been without any change
to-day. The Atlantic advices coming to hand too
late,. to affect the business dofie, which reached
6,000 balm all to the trrde, at steady prices. At
New York, the market had assumed a firmer tone,
though prices were without material variation.
The Liverpool Share Market opened with a firm
feeling today; went easier, but afterwards im:
proved, closing firm at the best quotations of the
day. The day's transactions were :—Blackburne,
7i, 7-16, 2, 7-16,i; Caledonian, 286 ; Eastern Coun-

The Directors of the Bank of England, at the
usual meeting to-day, made no change in their
rate of interest. The arrival of the James Baines
and the Lightning from Victoria, which was
announced this morning, has given much satisfac-
tion to all parties interested in the course of
monetary affairs, because it will not only tend to
increase confidence here, but also render material
assistance to the French market. The amount
brought by these vessels is about 1,254,1561, viz.,
173.533 ounces of gold by the James Baines, and
140,000 by the Lightning. The Atlantic has also
arrived from the United States, - with specie
amounting to upwards of 530,000 dollars. For
several days past the withdrawals of gold from the
Bank of England have been very limited, and as
the remittances by these ships will prevent any
further reduction in the stock of bullion at pre-
sent, although the greater part, it is supposed,
will be purchased for transmission to the Conti-
nent, there is some reason for anticipating that in
this respect future Bank Returns will be more
favourable.
OTo-day the English securities were rather flitter,
but the sales were numerous. At the commence-
ment of business Consols were 9811 for money,
and 93: I for account. In consequence of a few
sales on account of the Greeks, and the rumour.
that the Bank will not lend on stock during the
shutting, they became rather lower, viz., 03 a for
money, and 934 a for the 4th prox. Owing to the
pause which occurred in the upward movement
many parties who bought at lower prices were
induced to realise their profits. Exchequer Bills
remain- at is discount to is premium, and the
Bonds are 981. East India Bonds are 2s premium.
The New Threes are 921, a, and the Reduced
92i I. Bank Stock is 215 to 217, and India Stock

In the London Railway Share Market there has
been rather an active business doing. Prices exhi-
bited a downward tendency, and most of the chief
lines were quoted about ato per cent. lower than
yesterday's closing rates. Caledonian, North-
Western, South-Western, and North British
receded fully ss; Great Northern and South-
Eastern 10s. ; and North-Eastern (Berwick) Lt.
Great Western, Midland, Edinburgh, Perth, and
Dundee, -and one or two others have been steady.
The East Indian and Canadian lines have been
well supported; and the principal French lines.
have shown an advance of about ss. to 10. We
subjoin sales as follows :—Caledonian, 571,
Eastern Counties, 9* ; East Lancashire, 821 ;
Great Northern, 911 a 1; Great Western, 67a 64
51 61; London, 10:3i 4 31, ; Midland Stock, 801 1
801; Lovers, 71k.
The general Produce Markets present no new
feature. The Sugar Market was extremely dull,
and the sales effected to-day was unimportant.
Coffee remains steady. Nothing dons in Tea,
Molasses, or Rum, but there is a slightly active
demand for Rice, which sold to-day at very firm

prices.
Advices from St. Petersburg, state that the Neva
is covered with ice, and it is also reported that 200
vessels have been frozen in off Cronstadt, and will
not be able to get away this winter:
From Paris, the accounts are highly encourag-
ing, both as regards the aspect of monetary affairs
and the movements on the Bourse. There is less
pressure for discounts, and the next monthly
return of the Bank of France, it is thought, will be
very satisfactory. The advance in the Rentes
yesterday, was about Q per cent., and the values of
Railway Shares materially improved. At the
same time, it is mentioned, that speculation is dull,
and the enhancement is solely attributed to bona
fide purchases for investment.
By the Atlantic steamer from New York we
have advises from that city to the 8.,h inst. inclu-
sive. She brings specie on freight amounting to
630,887 dols. The commercial advices by this
arrival do not contain much news of moment,
beyond the fact that the presidential election had
closed, and that on Thursday, Nov. 20, Mr. Buchanan
would be declared President. The commercial
advices do not add much, if anything, to the news
already to hand. The Money Market was rather
easier, but discounts were not obtained on easier
terms. Cotton was held at about former rates.
The accounts of the growing crop' lo not improve.
Breadstuffs, and cured meats of description were
dull of sale, and to effect a clearance, holders were
willing to accept lower prices.
The clipper ships Lightning, Captain Enright,
and James Baines, Captain M'Donnell, have
arrived, bringing togetherabout £1,255,000 sterling.
The commercial advices by the former of these
ships, are of a satisfactory character. Business at
Melbourne was in a healthy state. At Melbourne
the rates of Bank Dicounts, on Bills under 95 days
currency was 7 per-cent over 95 days, 8 percent.
Renewals 10 per cent., and overdrawn Accounts
10 per cent.

The accounts from the various gold fields are on
the whole favourable, the escort returns for
.the
fortnight being considerably above the average of
the last three mouths, while the prospects for the
ensuing summer are. quite encouraging. The
discovery of wew gold fields in New South Wales
had attracted a few persons from the Victoria
diggings, but
.the greater bulk of them bad
returned. Reports from various parts of. the
interior state that the rush towards the Sydney
fields had all but, if not entirely, ceased. The
departures from Victoria by sea-had exceeded the
arrivals by .90 persons. Throughout Victoria,
extensive farming operations being undertaken, a
great demand for labourers was, anticipated. The
labour market was dull.
Whilst alluding to Australian ships, we may
mention that the owners of the Sardinian, Messrs.
Pilkington and Wilson, which was to have sailed
for Melbourne to-day, hearing that the Lightning
was coming up, at once considerately determined
to detain the Sardinian's departure until to-
morrow (Friday) morning, so that merchants and
others interested in the colony of Victoria might
reply to their letters per the Lightning. This
spontaneous act of Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson
is worthy of commendation, and proves that they,
regardless of the cost it may entail upon them
are determined to serve the public.
We quote the following from the monthly state
ment just issued of Me3srs. A. F. & D. Mackay :
Building, and particularly that kind of building which
looks for remuneration in increased accommodation for
the industrial classes, has received a considerable, though
it is believed only. P temporary check. This has operated,
particularly within the last two months, in limiting a
trade which, otherwise, would have caused a large con-
sumption of wood. Restricted consumption, coupled with
steady and rather heavy arrivals, has led to a decline in
the value of stocks, although probably not grei.ter than
might have been expected under the circuustances. With
a limited import for the remainder of the season, the
probability is that a reviving trade may find us with an
inadequate supply to meet ita requirements.

AMERICA.

MR. BUOHAWAN. THE FUTURE PRESIDENT.

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.

The United States Mail steam-ship Atlantic,
Eldridge, commander, entered the Mersey yester-
day 'afternoon; bringing a semi-weekly mail, 36
passengers, and specie and freight amounting to
530,887 dols. The steam ship Canada had arrived
at Boston with English mails of the 25th ult.
The Atlantic's news is three days later than that
brought by the Arabia, and is important, as it
brings us the result of the voting for members to
form the electoral colleges in the United States.
These colleges would yesterday proceed to the

'ormal election of President, and from the returns

of the votes of the 4th instant, we aro now enabled

to say that, before this time, James Buchanan has
been elected President of the' United States, and
A. Brackenridge Vice-President, during the four
years ending March 4, 1860. According to the
returns which have reached us, the contest was
close and sOvere, and, according to the New York
papers, in the interest of Fremont, Buchanan's
return was only secured by the silly diviiions,
defections, and bad management of the opposition
forees in the single state of Pennsylvania.
" They only wanted," says the New York Herald,
"a change of some fifteen hundred votes out of an
aggregate of four hundred and twenty-three thou
sand to secure Pennsylvania in October, and this
would have given them, not only Pennsylania in
November—which would have been enough with
what he has to elect Fremont—hut it would also
have rendered the opposition majority in New Jer-
sey and Indiana a unit, thus making a clean sweep
of the north, from stem to stern, in behalf of the
young eagle in the, Rocky Mountains." It would
seem that the magnificent run which Fremont had
made had imparted additional eclat to his name,
and added to his popularity.
Now that the Presidential election was settled,
the people of the United States were giving the
probable constitution of Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet
a good deal of speculative consideration. Accord-
ag to same political authorities, his majority in the
House of Representatives is regarded as slippery
and uncertain, inasmuch as the gains which his
party and supporters have secured in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, and New York, are results achieved
upon false issues, and particularly upon the test
question in Kansas. Much political vituperation
is heaped upon Mr. Jefferson Davis, with the view
of demonstrating that he should not obtain any
appointment in the new ministry, inasmuch as the
President elect must hold out some slight steps
of conciliation in behalf of the inhabitants of the
North. The New York Herald, reviewing the
result of the Presidential election, thus notices the
slavery question :
With regard to the slavery question, the consequences
of Mr. Buchanan's Election may be looked upon as only of a
temporary character,, and will be set right by the
operation of causes over which politicians have, fortu-
nately, no control. It is simply a question between
fee labour and slave labour, and notwithstanding
the efforts made to complicate it with other interests, on this
issue atone will it ultimately be decided. If free labour be
unsuited to tropical states, northern people must in time
recognise the folly of attempting the application of a
winciple which nature herself repudiates, The people of
the south will equally be compelled to acknowledge that the
extensi-m of slavery to territories whose climate is unfitted
for its development, and where slave labour can never hope
to compete successfully with that of the white man, is
equally opposed to sound economical principles. The
question is one that will be settled amongst ourselves, and
that will have no direct influence upon our relations with
other countries. All that we have to apprehend, then, from
the election of an administration pledged to the extension of
slavery, is that its foolish efforts to violate natural laws will
help to keep alive for some time longer the jealousies, the
heart blurs-sings, and the dissensions which at present mark
the agitation of this question.
The same paper considers, that by Mr.
Buchanan's election, it is henceforth the intention
of the United States to pursue the piratical,
aggressive and dishonourable cowse in its dealings
with other nations, so distinctly stated in the
Ostend manifesto. The article in question con-
cludes thus :
How can it be expected, with the memory of the
schemes concocted in this country against Cuba, and the
establishment of an American filibustering ruler in. Nica-
ragua—that the foreign governments should not retrard the
election of Mr. Buchanan as a gauntlet thrown down in the
face of Eur-pe, and make their preparations accordiny,-ly ?
It is considerations like these that influenced the large vote
which has been cast against the democratic nominee. Let
us hope that the policy of his administration will be such as
to tranquilise, both here and abroad, the alarm which they
are calculated to inspire.
The greatest excitement prevailed in many of
the leading cities and towns of the Union during
the day of voting. Antics of a very foolish charac-
ter were played off, and riots, any thing but
creditable to people of a civilised State, were the
order of the day.
We observe in one of the latest New York
papers by this arrival, that a Washington corres-
pondent states, that the " domestic policy of the
new administration promises an excitement. Mr.
Buchanan, it appears, has declared that he is in
favour of the admission of Kansas as a free Stste.
Now that he is elected he admits the necessity of
this course. The south will be indignant, and
efforts be made at an early day to obtain two new
states from Texas to offset Kansas in the United
States senate.
The general intelligence by this arrival is
not of, much moment. A great and destruc-
tive gale had visited several ports of the
United States, and part of the British
American provinces. In Philadelphia a fatal
shooting case had taken place. The facts of the
case at these :—lsaac C. Shurlock, a clerk in the
employ of Wilmer and Clawges, shot William
Clawges, one of his employers, at the junction of
Seventh and Chestnut-streets, Three balls took
effect, inflicting mortal wounds. The sufferer was
taken to the hospital, where he lingered until
about noon on the following day. Shurlock was
arrested almost in the act of assassination, and
was subsequonty examined and committed to
prison to answer the charge. The cause of the dif-
ficulty is said to be an improper intimacy between
the employer and the wife of the clerk. The fol-
lowing, from the New York papers of the Bth inst.,
is rather interesting :—" The Surrogate made an
important decision yesterday, on nuncupative
wills. In early times, wills were made by word of
mouth, and the mast solemn instruments in writ
ing might be orally revoked. Julius Caesar gave
permission to all his soldiers to make nuneupative
wills.; but English and American law restricts

the. privilege to soldiers ,and sailors 'in actual
service.' The present will was that of George
Thompson, cook on hoard of the steam-ship Her-
mann. The Surrogate decided that his oral will is
legal, and though a cook, he was legally a sailor
and though in port, at the time, he was neverthe
less in actual service."
From Mexico, we learn that Gen. Garza had
talert active
,measures to oppose the progress of
Vidaurri, and the greatest alarm and excitement had
prevailed throughout the entire• regiOn. At latest_
accounts, however, tranquility had been somewhat
restored, upon the receipt of a report that terms of
accommodation has been agreed • upon between
Garza and Vidatirri, -and-that the latter had agreed
to'recognise Cotnonfores gOi:ernment. A letter has
been received from a correspondent at the city of
Mexico,-dated the 17,th ult., but which is uninterest-
ing. The latest dates from Vera Cruz, state that
that General Almonte, the newly appointed Minis
ter to England, arrived at Vera Cruz too late for
the British steamer, and as he had all his faniily
with him he could- not be accommodated on board
of the M'Celland. He was waiting at Vera Cruz
for the Spanish steamer for Havannah. The.
Progreso of.the 10th of October, states that Gene-
ral ROsas Landa was to be sent by the Government
to Lisbon, for the purpose of bringing home the
remains of ex-President Arista.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORE, NOYEMEFE 8.
MONETARY AFFAIRS.—The money market has been rather
easier. Mimi(' the London market show A favourable reaction
during the preeant month, there will he more confidence felt
here, and the banks will feel authorised to maintain their
present line of disvunts, and perhaps to enlarge a little. The
reduced importations at this port may be considered as a pre—
liminary to reduced shipments of gold. Remittances of Bills
on England can now be made at extremely favourable rates.
Good commercial bills have been offered this week at 1074 to

10111, and the supply from the south Is not as yet Be ifirli
usual at this time of the year. Foreign Exchanges are don
and rates tend downward, except for drafts on Paris, which Are
pretty firm at 5.181, for bankers signatures. Bankers' bills'
on London are held at 1091, and a few leading drawers even
ask 1091, but we-can learn of but few sales at 1091, and n
(f,
none above that rate. The quotations for to morrow's ma
are : London 60 days' sight 109 to 1091 ; Paris 5.24 21 to 5.
Circular of T.
COTTON.—We take the following from the •
Stewart and Co., prepared for the sailing of the Atlantic:---
We issued our last circular for the Persia on the 28th ult.; the
at Quebeei
arrivals from Liverpool since, up to the Canadian'
received on the :3rd. inst. p.m , have not had the anticipate"
effect on our own and southern markets, owing to the stria.-
Igency in money matters there causing holders to continue their
r position as pressing sellers, disregarding entirely the dyer!
accounts of the growing crop. The market here has present;
an unusually dull aspect during all this period, and I tit,
arrivals have been large, consignees have pressed for sale° "o
preference to storing. The consequence has been that price!
almost daily favoured the buyer, and although it 'l°2;
practicable to buy lists at a decided decline, yet the sale!"tif
confined to odd parcels, chiefly from wharf, and were suffiee:te'd
numerous to supply the bulk of the enquiry, which %vas 11:1„' f
