NEW YORK MARKETS.—Nov. 21, 1557.

ASHES —Pat are steady at the decline noticed in our
last.

COAL —The mtrket is better supplied with Livetpcol,
and prices favour buyers.
COFFEE —The market continues deprtssel, and price 3
favour buyers.

COTTON—The market continues inactive, far want of
stock wherewith to operate. We notice by our Southern
operators a disposition on the part of planters to withhold
their crops from the seaboard markets for the avowed
reason that prices bad fallen, in consequence of the mone-
tary revulsion, b low what they considered a remunerative
rate. Home spinners are in the market to some extent,
and a resumption of active business is generally regarded Rs
a certainty within the next sixty or ninety days. The
stock continues light—indeed, of the low grades the
market is bare Small sales are making at 121 to 13 cents
for Middling Uplands and Mobile and Orleans.
FLOUR A:sr. MEA .—The demand for dour continues
moderately aetive, and sellers have the advantago an
advance of 5 to 10a having being established siace our
last. The receipts are to a moderate extent, and the
stock accumulates very slowly. There are but few foreign
orders in market, and these are generally limited at figures
which do not admit of their execution at present. The
transactions for the three days amount in the aggregate to
42,000 brie, the market closing firm at our revised (po-
tations. The low grades of Canada flour have slightly
advanced, while (-stints remain without important change
—the sales are 2 500 brie, leaving off at 5 to 6 dole 50e,
as in quality. Southern flou• is about 10c better, with a
fair demand. is part for the West Indies.
GRAIN—The wheat market has been quite irregular
since our last, though at the close a firm tone was apparent,
and the common qualities are 2 to 3e dearer than on
Tuesday last. The receipts are to a moderate extent, and
the offerings ate not in excess of the demand, which is
about equally divided between local millers and exporters.
laort—The market for all Foreign descriptions is
extremely quiet, and we have no sales to report.
LEAD—Tee market for Pig is rather firmer, most of the
cheap lets offering having been picked up; the large s'uck,
however, exerts a depressing influence.

MOL IS3ES—There are no new features to notice in the
market, which remains steady, with a good demand from
the trade, &n,, without change in prices.
PROVISIONS—The Pork market continues irregular,
though with a downward tendency of prices, and the
demand partakea wholly of a local trade demand • receiptsmoderate, and stock does not increase materially; sales
at 19 d:ls 35c to 19 dots 60c for Mess, 17 dots for, Prime,
20 dole to 20 dols 25c for Clear, and 17 dots to 17 cbls
25c for Prime Mess. The Beef market continues heavy,
but prices are no lower. Lard is one-half of a cent. lower.
Butter and Cheese aro dull.

Rica—Continues dull, with large receipts. The bulk
of the stock is composed of the medium grades, which are
in but little request, the demand being chiefly for good and
prime qualities.
SALT—Liverpool remains firm.
SUGAR—The continued discouraging accounts for raw
from London, (the Niagara brings advises of a further
decline of 33. per cwt.,) theiconsiderable stock of old crop
yet remainiug on hand, the near approach of the period
when new may be expected, and the prospect of a speedy
close of inland navigation, with a rather increased desire
on the part of holders to realz,, have had a most depress-
ing influence on the market, and prices are again / of a
cent lower. Refined, too, are dull, and the lower grades
have declined I of a cent per lb.
Tonacca—Kentucky has been in better request, with
more activity than for some time past—t,here is very little
file quality here, and it is held firmly. There has been
more done in Spanish, but at reduced rates. Saks 300
hids. Kentucky at 7c to 17ie ; 26 ditto Virgini 1, 556
bales H 4vannali, and 52 ditto Cuba, on terms not transpired.
In manufactured, the business is still limited ; the sales
during the past few months have been mostly of the
common grades, and the stock of these descriptions is
coniiderebly reduced. Agents gene'ally are firm in their
views, and anticipate at least no further reduction in price.

W or.—ls in slightly inip-oved demand, the very low
rates at 3vhich parcels have been offered inducing cash
buyers to enter thet market to a m,,derate oc'ent, and sales
have barn made of 15,000 lb. No. I. Pulled at 19 to 20c,
20,000 lbs Super. 22 to 24; 10,000 Ib3 Extra, 25 to 23 ;
and 15,000 lbs Medium Fierce, 28 to 32, cash ; on the
descriptions, the decline since Auzust lest is 15 to 200 per

rev*Fe and reduce our quotatiors for all descrip-
tions, though the rates fur foreign are in a great measure
nominal. From the California wools recently received,
ab3ut 600 bales common grades have been placed at 11c
6 mos.
EXCHANGE—The principal business for the Adriatic

has been in sterling. Continental has been sold to only a
moderate extent. We quote Bills on London, 7 to 82
per cent.: Fracce, 5f 300 to 5f 250 . An'werp. 5f 27i3 to
5f 25e . Amsterdam, 404-- to 404: Hamburg, 35; to 30 :
Bremm, 774 to 784: Frankfort, 41 to 41/: and Prussian
Thaierp, 711 to 711
SEAMEN' AND WAGES—Seamen are in moderate supply,
and rates remain as last quoted.

Pal TE EIT AGAINST SCRIPTURE RE ADZ as.—At the mrefng
of tbe. Somerset Scripture Reader's Society, held at Taun-
ton on Wednesday, the Earl of Cavan in th 3 chair, the
Rev Dr. Knolty'F, incumbent of Fi.eiead, and the Rev.
R. T. Mills, vicar of liaise, alenied• to protest against
the introduction of Scripture readers into their parishes.
Dr. Knolly's solemnly protested against the intrusion of
an unauthorised teacher into his parish—first, because the
sole care and charge of all the souls in the aforesaid parish
is cumniittod to his care alone ; secondly, b: cause the said
society bas no more spiritual right or jurisdiction in his
parish than "the Bishop of Rome this realm of England ;"
and thirdly, because such intrusion is at gage unedUss and
