CUBA

We have advice-s from Havana to the 26th Sept. They
inform us of the arrival of 600 additional African slaves, the
landing of whom had been safely effected at or near Trinidad
de Cuba, and the property disposed of with the assent of the
local authorities ; and the facts have been brought to the
attention of General Canedo, by the British Consul-General
at the Havana.

A correspondent says :—" This makes one thousand ne-
groes, within this month, on the south side. The last vessel
—the name not ascertained—is being hurriedly fitted and
furnished for another voyage, and will probably be at sea
before a commission can reach Trinidad for her seizure.
These landings are made at the time we are having prepared
in the Palace, the strongest argument yet sent forward, to
convict the British Government of gross injustice, in charg-
ing the Spanish Government with want of good faith in
observance of the treaty, and the colonial authorities with
corrupt connivance in the iniquitous traffic.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
NEW YORK MARKETS, OCT. 4.

STOCKS AND MONEY.—The Stock Exchange opened with
a fair degree of firmness this morning, but on the second
call of the list, at the early board, prices fell off, and a feel-
ing of depression was observable through the remainder of
the day. The fall in Erie stock from the top rate of the
forenoon was 1 per, cent., and in Cumberland coal li per
cent. Other speculations gave way to 14 per cent., with
the .exception of Hudson River, which showed steadiness
through the day at 714 for the cash stock, and 721
on time. Among the higher class shares, business was done
in New York Central at 1131; Michigan central 1111, and
Michigan southern at 119 i. There was an active inquiry
to-day for money from demand borrowers, and the offerings
rather less free. Lenders are disposed to give preference to
first class mercantile paper, at 9 to 10 per cent., though this
is not the case with the banks, restricted as they are to 7
per cent. Exchange for the packet to-morrow closed as
follows :—London 109 k to 110 ; Paris 5.111 to 5.131;
Frankfort 41 to 411 ; Bremen 791 to 80; Hamburg 36i to
361 ; Antwerp 5.131 to 5.15. Most of the business on
London was done at 1091 to 1091, for prime bank and
banker's' names.

with further sales of 200 bbls. Pot, at $5, 874.; and 100 do.

Corrow.—Since the departure of the Asia, on the 21st
ult., from this port, the Africa, America, and Baltic have
arrived, brining
gino• advices to 21st Sept. Notwithstanding
the unfavourabte tenor of the advices for Cotton, our market
has been only slightly depressed, the quantity offering being
small, and the reports of injury to the growing crop being
more general and decisive ; grades above middling are
scarce, and bring full rates, while the lower qualities are
neglected. The new crop comes forward slowly, the receipts
to last dates being 33,000 against 83,000 same period last
year ; but the quality is poor, the bulk being under mid-
dling. The epidemic continues to extend through the
South, but as the last -accounts report the weather as having
set in cold, it is hoped the next reports will be more favour-
able. Telegraph from New Orleans, of 3d, quote middling
10ic. ; freights to Liverpool, 5-8 d; receipts for the week,
22,000 bales only.

FLoun AND MEAL, —Under the favourable advices by the
steamer America, the flour market opened on Saturday with
increased firmness, and with an active demand for export
and home use, a considerable advance was established.- After
the receipt of Baltic's still more favourable accounts on
Monday, the market became much excited, and a further
material improvement was realised; but yesterday, as the
natural result of a too rapid advance, there was some re-
action, and at the close, holders, particularly speculators,
appeared anxious to realise at quotations. The transac-
tions have been very large, and would have been larger
but for the limited supply here, the high rates of freights
and the difficulty in procuring vessels ; as it is, a large por-
tion—more than half—=of the sales are for future delivery.
Common Slate has been sold very.freely to arrive at s 7— a
higher price than it has attained since 1847, the year of the
famine in Ireland. Our revised quotations now stand 373 to
50 cents higher than on Friday last, the market closing with
a decided downward tendency. Canada, a small supply, and
active demand for the British Provinces,' has advanced 25
cents- the sales are 2100 brls. at $6,681, to $7 in bond—the
former price before the arrival of the Baltic, closing firmly
at the latter rate. The sales of domestic *ere : Saturday,
14,000 bbls. ; Monday, 24,000; and yesterday 12.000. In-
cluded in the sales were 16,000 bbls. common State and Ohio
deliverable in all this month, at $7 ; 6000 State to arrive
before the 15th instant, (before the arrival of the Baltic) at
$6,75 ; and 5000 good Michigan, to arrive within the last
fifteen days of this month, at $7. We quote :
