COTTON.

On Wednesday and Thursday of last week a disposition
to buy was manifested, at 13c for middling, 131 c for good
middling Uplands and 13ic for middling Orleans, chiefly
on orders for Live-pool and the continent of Europe. On
Friday, however, the Arabia's advices brought our market
once more to a dead stand, and the transactions have been
quite 8111511 for several days. It is difficult to give quota-
tions as holders do not press their stook for sale, and the
quantity here is still very limited. Those annexed mus:
be considered nominal.

The sales for the week I estimate at 2,000 bales. The
export has been 1,087 bales, all for Liverpool.
COTTON IN TRANSITU.—Owittg to the non-arrival of the
steamer from New Orleans, we are without the expected
samples, and there are no transactions to report. Two
parcels only are at present offered.
SOUTHERN Manners, for the week under review, have
all been active, at an advance in each. The buying has
been mainly for English account, with some little for
France and the continent of Europe. By telegraph we
learn that upon receipt of the unfavourable news per
Arabia, a decline 'tree submitted to---in Charleston and
Savannah to the extent of only 4-c. to tie. por lb. ; but in
Mobile and New Orleans of ac. to lc. per lb. A fair
amount of business was being done at the decline, nearly
all on English account.
By telegraph the following has been received :

New Octuiarrs, November. 14: Receipts for the week,
40,000 bales ; same week list year, 59,000. Decrease in
receipts at this port compared with last year, 160,000, and
at the Southern ports, 286,000 ; sales for the week, 30,000.
Middling, 11 c to 11c per lb, and active. Exports for the
week—To Liverpool, 22,000 ; Havre, 9,000. Exchange
on London 95 to 100 per cent. Freight to Liverpool, id
per lb.
MOBILE, November 14 : Receipts for the week, 7,000
bales ; same week last year, 12,000 ; sales for the week,
8,000 ; stock on hand, 34,000. Prices nominal. Freight
to Liverpool, 3d per lb.
SAVANSAII, November 14 : No frost to injure cotton ;
little doing. Market firm, at an Ac to lc per lb advance.
CROP : The prospects for crap have materially improved
owing to the absence of frost, and the unusually fine
weather for maturing and picking which has prevailed over
the great cotton producing region since the middle of
September. It must now be conceded that the backward-
ness of the crop, by late spring and cold, has been fully
made up, and the general absence of complaint warrants
the hope that the ultimate yield will exceed the estimates
lately put forth at the South. The advent of frost has
been so protracted that its occurrence now will have little
or no effect upon quantity. Very s)on I hope to be in
possession of facts, upon which to base an opinion in
figures of the probable extent of the crop.
REcuirrs.—Planters are yet unwilling to send their crops
freely to market, hence the receipts at the ports for the
week under review amount to bat 52,000 bales, against
93,000 bales during the corresponding week of last year.
The total deficit at all the ports is now 286,000 bales, as
compared with last year. By telegraph for a week later
from New Orleans, we learn that 40,000 bales have been
received ; and, no doubt, the advance in price at all the
seaboard markets will induce planters to send their cotton
forward more rapidly.
Exrons.—ln sfite of all obstacles, cotton moves to its
legitimate destination—the consuming markets of the world.
The export for the week is 35,000 bales, of which 24,000
bales are for Great Britain. The excess over last year to
same time for England is 41,000 bales. To France the
decrease is 29,000 bales ; to other foreign ports there is
an excess of 1,000 bales. Thera is no immediate prospect
of Great Britain receiving less than she requires, as we
learn by telegraph that 22,000 bales were cleared from
New Orleans for Liverpool alone during the week ending
13th instant, and that the balk of 30,000 bales sold was
also for that port.
The following is the statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist of September, as compared with the previous
four years :

taut D,„CAWNPORE AND LUCKNOW.
4111,1,11-01.-ve! of the 17th ultimo, contained tidings from
"tll-":40 the 20:(1 of October, and from Lucknow to
oeptember. At this latter date, the Residency,

which had been relieved on the 25th, was kept possession
of, the greater portion of the city itself having been cap-
tured ; but the enemy still continued in such alarming
strength, that apprehensions were entertained that Have-
lock, with his undersized and over-worked army, might be
cut off from supplies 'or succour. Having gallantly
maintained himself to the last, he must have been joined
about the 24th of' October by her Majesty's 53rd and 93rd
regiments from Cawnpore, and within four days afterwards
by the whole of Grea'head's flying co'umn, so as once more
to take the field and hunt down the enemy. We are now
enables somewhat to extend the very limited amount of
information we a fortnight since possessed in reference to
the operations between the 24th and 29;,h, although our
intelligenee is still sufficiently imperfect—it is only from the
latter of these dates that it is new. The enemy had a
formidable entrenchment thrown up, and armed with 50
pieces of cannon, at a place called Allumbagh, a country
residence of the Princes of Oude, about three miles from
Lucknow, on the Cawnpore side. It is described as consist-
ing of a large house, with a high wall all round, and an
enclosure of about 500 yards square. But the convoy was
too weak and exhausted to stir, and here the first of a series
of contests, which lasted more than twelve hours, began.
Having captured all their guns, and driven the enemy
from their outwork, it was found sufficiently strong to
be maintained by a party of the 64th Foot, under
Major Sibley, and here accordingly the sick, the
woe/tided, and the baggage were left behind. Betwixt Al-
lumbah and Lucknow is an extensive plain, traversed by a
wide canal. Havelock, with the main body of the force,
crossed this by a bridge, which the enemy, hanging close
upon our rear, had immediately destroyed, occupying a
position on the bank of the canal, so as to divide the two
portions of our force from each other. Nearly a day was
occupied by General Havelock in forcing his way to the
Residency through the city. The resistance was deter-
mine 1, and the casudties, nearly 500 out of a force of
2,000, very severe. On reaching the Residency he was still
fired on by the enemy, from batteries recently thrown up,
and which required to be stormed in succession, and were
carried at the point of the bayonet. Here fell the gallant
General Neill—the hero and the idol alike of the army,
with Majors Perrin, and Lieuts. Graham, Preston, and
Nunn, of her Majesty's 90th. Here also fell Colonel
Hamilton, Captain Hay, and lieutenant Swanson of the
78th, Lieutenant Haigh of the sth Fusiliers, beside,
Captain Shute, and Lieutenants Turner and Bateman of
the G4th, with above 30 wounded, many of them severely.
The communications betwixt the two portions of our force
being thus completely cat off, those betwixt Allumbah and
Cawnpore were very impert ctly maintained. On the
26th severe fighting continued, and for the next four days
heavy firing was almost incessant. By tnis time above
two miles of the town had 'alien into our hands, and the
weakness of our force alone prevented the remainder
from being secured. Havelock had reached Lucknow with
2,500 in all. Of these neatly 600 had been disabled ; about
as many more had been left at Allumbagh—so that, when
joined to the Residency garrison, about a thousand strong,
he had scarcely his original number, to meet a force of
above 50,000 in the field against him; though with
courage and management such as could be relied upon,
enough to maintain themselves in the Residency, and bom-
bard and cannonade the city. The difficulties of the
Residency were such, that Havelock was left no time to
wait at Cawnpore for reinforcements, and the original
intention was to have relieved the garrison, escort the
women and children to a place of safety, and then resume
the offensive. Here Oatram remained with 1,500 men,
levelling the various buildings which hemmed in and com•
mended them, while Havelock operated oetside. For a
time the force was separated into three, Havelock at the
Balee Guard, being cut off from all communication with
Outram. They are luckily once more reunited. Oa the 31.
a convoy of 300 men of the 64th, commanded by Major Ping-
ham, with provisions, lett Cawnpore, but were able to get no
further on than Allumbagh, where they left their supplies,
returning to Cawnpore without having experienced any
molestation either on their advance or return. On the

11th a party of 150 arrived at the latter places from the
former, bringing with them a large number of camels and
elephants to assist in carrying back again provisions. Oa
the 14th a second convoy under Major Nl.lntyrP, of the
78th Highlanders, was despatched. He was obliged,
however, to ,entrench himself, when within four miles of
his destination, returning to his sores, which he was not
strong enough to protect, and await reinforcements,
Allunabagh was now occuptc iby about 1,000 men. The
approaches are commanded by heavy guns, and the ground
cleared and exposed in all directions to the distance of about
600 yards.
