WTI, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The intelligence from New York by the packet ship,
Sheridan,to the 25th ult, states that the Money Market
has not improved, that the information taken out by the
British Queen continued to have an unfavourable effect,
and Stocks were heavy. At New Orleans money was
so scarce that from 2 to 5 per cent., per month, was
given. Some fear was entertained that the Bank would
probably suspend specie payments before long.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY. -We
hare had a dull market for Cotton to-day, without
change from Friday's prices. The sale 3,oooa,bags to
the trade,

We have received Quebec papers of the 19th
September, and Montreal papers to the 22d September.
The former are void of interest, the latter states, from
the Toronto Herald, that it hears from undoubted autho-
rity that several of the miscreants who risked their all
in piratical attempts on Upper Canada, are now banding
themselves together with a determination to retrieve
their pecuniary losses by acts of piracy ; and their plan
is, at some early and well understood period, to take
passage at various ports on board the steamer, Great
Britain, to overpower the crew and passengers, and
Plunder the towns on the lake.
COMMERCIAL.—" A number of Upper Canada mer-
chants have made their appearance in town this week,
and business is beginning to revive. Exchange.—The
Banks furnish bills on London at 10i per cent. prem.
The notes of all banks in Upper Canada are taken by
the banks at Montreal at one per cent. discount, and
will no doubt be soon at par, as they will without doubt
resume specie payments early in November."

We copy the following from a letter dated the River
St. Clair (Canada), Aug.

" Sir,—On this unfortunate frontier there is now
a total stand put to all enterprise and im-
provement ; not a man dare expend a farthing
either in purchase of land or the establishment of a state,
lest in one instant his house should be burnt over his
head ' • or in the other, the goods in his shop should go
to enrich the villains on the American side. I am led
to make these remarks by the fact that no fewer than
four robberies have within this last month been com-
mitted here, in an extent of twelve miles—one to the
amount of nearly 300 dollars, another 100, the others
smaller in amount ; but still serious in the ex-
treme when the generally limited means of the set-
tlers are considered. These robberies have in two
instances been clearly traced to the opposite
side of the river, and we are at a loss to ascertain whether
those outrages are preludes to the same system of vexa-
tious and treacherous border warfare which last summer
and autumn nearly ruined the country. Whatever
may be the cause, the effect is fatal, and unless steps be
speedily taken, to remedy the evil, all the respectable
inhabitants, in fact, all those who have anything to lose,
must leave this frontier.
" The force now assembled for its defence, consists of
40 men, and their limited number renders it impossible
that they should do so successfully."

We do not hear as yet of the arrival of the British
Queen steamer from New York ; in all probability she
might be detained a day or two at New York.

THE FUNDS.

This being settling day in the British Market, the
brokers and jobbers are chiefly employed in arranging
their accounts against to-morrow, which is paying and
receiving day for the various differences. The extreme
fluctuation during this account is about 2 to 4 per
cent. No doubt is entertained that an easy settlement
will take place,and all will go off well, although money
is rather in demand.

HALF-PAST ONE.

Up to the present hour the settling of the Consol
♦ccount is going off well, with no other feature in the
m irket worth attention. The account turns out to be
a Bull one, with a scarcity of money in the market ; full
6 per cent. can be obtained from day to day. Great
disappointment is experienced by the various merchants
connected with the United States at the non-arrival of
the British Queen, which was expected this morning.
Accounts from Chili state that the President in his
opening speech to the Chambers, stated that the Re-
public was desirous of doing justice to the foreign
bondholders, and that an agent has been sent to Lon-
don to obtain an honourable adjustment.
Consols may be quoted at present 914 for Novem-
ber Account ; for Money receded to 90i, have been at
90Z- in the morning. Exchequer Bills, 2 dis. to par ;
in Bank Stock nothing done ; India Bonds, 2 discount,

OLE BULL.—This celebrated violinist has just
contracted an engagement with M. Duponchel for
several concerts at the Academie Royale in Paris.
Ole Bull has just returned from Russia, after having
received most gracious marks of the Emperor's favour.
The Tweed Salmon fishing, with nets, closes
on Tuesday next, for the season, which we believe has
been one of the worst for several years. It is legal
to take salmon with the rod till the 7th of next month.
