Hamburg letters of the 23rd meutionTOMMY an improve-
ment in the price of coffeu of 1-16 to 1 ech., owing,
in a great measure, to holders keeping back their
stocks, and not to any speculative demand, the sales
of the week h+viag amlunt44 to only 10,000 bags, of
whi:h 8,000 were Brazil, at the panty of 31 to 4 ach.
f r red ordinary. The want of disposable stook pre-
vented the execution of wetly orders for the interior.
The tono of the sugar mark" continued good, but it
was difficult to do business at au advance in price.
1,000 chests Havana had been taken at 13 to 13.12
for brown, and 14 to 17 make fur yellow to white.
For other products the iuquiry was moderate, and
mice. of most descriptions were w,ll supported.
In opener the transactions were limited, and
the paces paid were 9.11 on the spot, and
9.14 for delivery. Ia wool little was doing. The
grain market was firm, and quotations generally bad
experienced no change, with too exception of barley,
which had slightly advanced. Money was abundant.
The exchange on London was 13.81 for short; goad434.lmarks..

Cu/menial advice. from Kingston, Jamaica, of the
30th July mention that the near approach of the let
of August had not produced any activity in the
market, and business remained quite tie dull u it has
been since the commencement of the year, few articles
set produce meeting with salts. For flour prices had
been fully supported. East India rice continued to
decline, and transactions had been effected at 12s. 91.
to 13s. per 100 lbs. Item had been sold at ls. 6d.
per gallon, proof 21, for export, and some sales are
reported at a lower figure. Sugar had slightly ad-
vanced, the rites for the better sorts ruling at teL to
Is. per 10011os. higher than last reporttd. Exchange
on New York was quoted at 3 per cent. fur merchants'
bills at 60 days eight.
Account. have been received from the oily of
Mexico to the Bth July. The cuoltra was deereaein;
at the capital, though increasing aloog the aulph. At
Mexico the t ,tal number of case, from 25th June to

The *dykes from ban Francisco by the Cherokee,
arrived at New York (which veuel also brought up-
wards 1;f two millions of dollars in gold), extend to
the 18th of July, or fourteen days 14' -e than pre-
viously rceeivel. Business generally was reviving,
then the stagnation caused by the recut conflagra-
tion, and buildings ware espial', covering the bun.;
district. Immigrants were pouring into the
country as rapidly as ever. From the activity
and buainculike appearance tLat the streets
and wharves of the City were again fast assuming,
and from the extensive arrangements t Lt.: were being
made, and the energy which was exhibited in the
construction of houee at d places of bu 'mess, an im-
pression was entertained that the coming fah wi'l
equal the past in the extent of business operation*.
Toe height of the rivers still prevented much activity
at the mines, bat the waters were rapidly subsidimt.
Alth.oNh the returns from the mining dottriets were:
thus very limited, the supplies forwarded daily
reached a very high figure, and in consequence Li
:Lis demand for the interior, and also for the corat
trade, it was thonght that the stocks on hand
minuted to no more than a fair supply, notwith-
standing the large importations. Drafts on the
states were bought at 5 to 8 per cent. discount.
Gold dust was quoted 16 dol.. per ounce, for cash and
other purposes.

The .s,;r4;‘,:ah Nor," states that a gold mine has
been discovered on an e:tate in Mog:n

Salt sal silver have boon discovered in California,
about 15 mike west of Senora.

The salt spring (says the Pre News) is upon the Aide
of a smell hill; and eta short distance from WI en the water
Isoues from the rock is a circular train some 2uo feet In cir-
eurnfereocc and four or fire feet deep, into which the salt
water from the spring 110'411. The bottom and sides of this
basin are of solid rock, forming a most desirable receptacle,
from which the water ems be taken when a manuiacory for
sal• is established hen. We are also informed that the land
about t►e spricg is well wooled, and we doubt not that
in a short time there will be msnufaetured at this point
sufficient tilt for our own consumption at much less rates
than we can now procore it for. In the striae of reeks
whence the salt spring btu—, silver ore appears, and from
repreventations and the specimens we have seen, we should
not be surprised if this newly discovered mineral depc.dt
should prove extremely productive.
A company is on the eve of organieation for the menu-
factnriug cot salt at this spring, and working the silver
