and 17 dole to 17 dole 50c for new country and city prime.

wore sold at 91, deliverable at Baltimore in January. Cheese
steady at our quotations. Lard is easier, with sales of 250 brls
and tierces at 12ao to 121 c.
OILS ; Linseed oil is without important change ; sales of
15,000 gallons are reported by one house at 82 cents, but we
learn of other sales at 80 cents, so that there is no general
improvement. The advices from the Sandwich Islands by the
California arrival are to the 15:h October, and we have reports
from 115 right whalers (including those beard from by previous
steamer). An intelligent and reliable correspondent has
figured up the average catch of these vessels, which he makes
out to be 545 brls per vessel. He adds : " Should the
balance of the fleet yet to be heard from, maintain this average,
it would, with the result of the southern fishery, give an
import for 1857 of 150,000 brie against 195,000 brls in 1856.
Since the commencement of the year up to the first of the
present month -there have been withdrawn for consumption
about 210,000 brls, and the stock on hand is estimated at
40,000 brls. In the face of this great falling off in the import,
it will require ' all the influences at work' to induce much
concession from prices at present ruling, which we quota at
80 cents for good cargoes." • We hear of a sale in New
Belford on Saturday of 8 to 900 brls crude whale at 80 cents,
and the purchaser is said to have made a like offer for another
cargo. Bleached winter whale of approved manufacture com-
mands 88 to 90 cents, although several parcels from outside
parties have lately-been closed out at a less rate. Winter
sperm oil is selling at 1 dol 65c to I del 70c.
NAVAL STORES : spirits turpentine are dull and heavy at
42g with sales of 170 bets, and small lots at 48 cents. Crude
turpentine is quiet. Common rosin is unchanged ; sales of
900 brls were made at 1 dol 60e, delivered, and 500 brls No.
2at 1 dol 75c. Tar is dull and heavy at 1 dol 76c to 2 dols
for Norfolk and Washington.
FitmenTs : Grain freights are depressed, but there is a
fair business doing in flour. To Liverpool, 20,000 bushels of
grain were taken at 514-,d to 51d in bulk and ship's bags : 3,200
brls flour is 61 ; 300 boxes bacon 20s ; 1,600 bales cotton id
to 5 32d ; 140 do Sea Island at 7-32 d. To London, 5,100

as much more at tno same rate ; 200 boxes bacon 30s.

BLUCHER AND THE USIIHIST.—Of Blbcher the following
anecdote was related by a Hungarian general : He told us
some good anecdotes of the youth of Blucher, who, he said,
was a man of enormous strength. He said he once knew
him, when borrowing from a Jew to supply his passion for
gaming, take hold of 'the little Israelite by the collar, and
hold him at arms' length out of a high window.—Lift and
