HOP MARKET.

Supplies good, but the business chiefly limited to Hops of a
middliug quality at about 60s. Prices of other kinds as they
were.

SPIRIT MARKET.

The operations in Rum were very trifling, and prices may be
regarded a s littlelbetter than nominal. The kinds of Brandy sell-
ing fetched 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d., and the demand for them steady.
Geneva, languid, and has declined to Is. Ild , and British
Corn Spirits 10s. 3d., but not in brisk request.

were.-ABritish Plantation: Brown Sugar at 60s. ; middling 635. ;

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY. TWELVE 0' CL 0 CX.
We have received the New York Papers to the 24th
October, by the London line of packet ship.
The suspension spreads like wild-fire to the soutl
and west. We are in hopes the New Orleans bank will
successfully resist the onset. Here and there a bank
in the intermediate country continues to pay specie for
its bills.
The Bank of Charlestown and South Carolina, and
the State Bank at Charleston, redeem their bills it.
specie, but do not pay specie for deposits. Several other
Southern banks take the same course ; they are in ge-
neral banks which have few bills out. It is estimated
that since the beginning of the present month property
has been destroyed by fire in the United States to tilt
amount of four millions of dollers.

The United States Bank has declared a dividend of
4 per cent. for the last six months, payable on the stl,
of November.

The Mexican packet is expected daily with a freight
of 1,100,000 dollars. The greater part of the ahoy(
arrival of specie is for our merchants, and will soon fin,
its way into the coffers of the Bank of England.
The Quebec papers report the arrival of Mr. P.
Thomson.

Accounts from the llavannah state that the rice
market has been in a miserable state. Exchange on
London 16 per cent. prem.

NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 12.—Our last report of Cot-
ton noticed an animated demand, which has been conti•
nued during the past week, although the weather was
unfavourable to the receipt and shipment of it. Hold-
ers have endeavoured to obtain an advance on the cur-
rent rates of last week, but without success. The de-
mand has been confined to the finer grades, and has
been principally for France.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 14.--Today
we have had a very brisk demand for Cotton, and the
sales, in which are included 4,000 American on specu-
lation, amount to 9,000 bales. Prices are id. to id.
per lb. higher for American descriptions.

THE FUNDS.
Our arrivals this morning are of some importanck`in
particular that of the Imogene frigate with a good
store of dollars on board, to the amoont of 2400,000 ;
and wo soon have another from Mexico, with
1,110,000. These added to the former arrivals of specie,
will replenish the coffers of the Bank of England, and
restore it again to greater confidence ; and all that
has been advanced for some time past respecting
its solidity, and cash payments, will entirely vanish.
It is not expected that the whole of the above arrival of
specie will find its way to the Bank, but there is no doubt
that the greater part of it will be housed there.

The arrival from the United States to the 24th Oc-
tober, by the Quebec, at Portsmouth, is of a more fa-
vourable nature than the previous accounts. The New
York and Boston Banks continue specie payments, and
the United States Bank Stock has improved to 76.
In Philadelphia the Stock has improved to 86. The

This being settling day in the Foreign Market, the
Brokers and jobbers are chiefly engaged in balancing
their accounts, paying and receiving their differences.
The heaviest accounts to settle, are the Portuguese,
Spanish, and that of the Brazilian ; to the present hour
we do not hear of any defaulters in the Market ; still
we must wait till the close of the Market to ascertain
the final result of the settlement.

The official returns of the exportation of bullion from the
7th to the 13th inst. state that the actual exports of silver
coin, amounted to 287,000 ounces. In the early part of

per cent.. since which it has become more easy.

Lord Hatherton and the Hon. Miss Littleton
arrived in town last week, from TeddesleyPark, near
Penkridge. On Wednesday his Lordship left for
Eagleburst Park, Hants, to visit the Earl and
Countess of Cavan.

Public attention (especially in this neighbour•
hood) has been of late strongly directed to a project for
draining the great estuary denominated the Wash, si
tuate between the coasts of Norfolk and Lincolnshire.
By this scheme it is proposed to reclaim 150,000 acres
from the sea, and to effect a union into one outfal of
the river Ouse, Nene, Welland, and Witham. This
will, it is anticipated, materially augment the depth of
water at Lynn, Boston, and Spalding ; whilst, by the
increased facilities for the discharge of the upland
waters, a great improvement in the drainage of the
Bedford Level, Marshland; and other Fen districts,
will be effected.—Canibridge Advertiser.
WHALE FISHING.-We regret to see that this
has proved one of the poorest whale fishing seasons ever
known The Dundee vessels have all returned, and
the number of fish taken by the whole, could easily, it
is stated, have been brought by one ofoem.—/nveritess
Courier.
