TEA MARKET.

More life in this market than there has been 'lately, and
more disposition to purchase. The holders, however, gene-
were undecided as to what prices they should ask.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—WC
have had only a moderate demand for Cotton this day,
without change in prices. The sales are 2,500 bags to
the trade.

The New York packet ship Independence is detained

We have received Halifax papers to September 3.

Extract of a letter from Shediar :—" On the morning
of Sunday last were found on the shore at Reedish, in
this parish, 64 whales, one 23i feet in length from which
were taken about 350 barrels of oil."

Her Majesty's Commissioners appointed for the ex-
ploration of the boundary between the State of Maine
and New Brunswick, we understand, will at once pro-
ceed to their investigation. We wish them every suc-
cess, and hope they will be enabled to make such a re-
port as, with a friendly disposition subsisting between
the two general Governments, will trod to a satisfactory
adjustment of this important question.
It is gratifying to state that the merchants and trades-
men who were sufferers by the late awful conflagration
at St. John's have mostly resumed business.
His Excellency the Governor has, in accordance with
the address presented to him in this city (New Bruns-
wick), on Wednesday last, promptly issued his proclama-
tion, calling the Legislature to meet for dispatch of bu-
siness on Tuesday, September 10, inst.—New Bruns-
wick Observer.

Accounts have been received at Havre from Guaya-
quil, of the 16th of June, stating that the last news re-
ceived from Peru was that the Chilian squadron was
still in the roads of Callao, and the Chilian army had
returned to Lima. It appears that General Bulnes
was waiting for payment of eight months' arrears due to
his army, after which he was to embark his troops and
retire to Valparaiso.

We have very few arrivals this morning, consequently
no intelligence of importance to communicate at present.
In the course of yesterday afternoon the monied in-
terest and bill brokers were much agitated, as well as
the members of the Stock Exchange, owing to a very
general report that the Bank Directors were going to
raise their discounts to 7 per cent., yesterday being their
usual weekly meeting, which did not break up until
three o'clock, causing a stronger suspicion that they
were going to adopt the above measure. At length
the public were relieved, as no notice to the above
effect appeared. Towards the evening it was ascer-
tained that the long discussion in the Back Par-
lour chiefly related to an application having been made
on the part of the agent of the United States Bank
for the temporary assistance, in behalf of the Bank of
the United States, of about three hundred thousand
pounds, and the cause assigned for the application is
that the house of Hope and Co., of Amsterdam, have
not thought proper to confirm the arrangement lately
entered into between them and Mr. Jaudon. It is un-
derstood that the Directors of the Bank of England
declined acceding to the application in a direct form,
but intimated that if the gentlemen of this city and of
Liverpool by whom it was backed, both bankers and
merchants, were disposed to take upon themselves the
responsibility of guaranteeing the reimbursement of
the sum applied for, it should be afforded for a limited
period, namely, for one month, so as to give time for
the return of the Liverpool steamer from New York.
The above affair has caused some excitement, and it
is the general topic of conversation this morning in the
City, and various are the opinions on the subject ; no
doubt when it is known at New York it will have the
effect of causing a remittance of specie to this country
instead of bills of the United States Bank.

It is the general opinion that the Bank Directors
have acted very liberal in giving their assistance to the
agent of the United States' Bank, which, no doubt, will
prevent serious difficulties in the commercial community.
In the early part of the morning the British Market
had rather a firm appearance, since which it has taken a
change, and Consols have receded from 908 -I- to 908 i
for the Account, with a heavy market. Money conti-
nues very scarce, and is in demand, at 9 per cent. on
Consols. Out of the House, for commercial affairs the
rates are, according to the paper, offered for discount, for
first rate Bills 6 per cent. is readily given.
It is reported in the City that Messrs. Denison, Mo-
rison, Baring, and Huth, are the guarantees to the Bank
for the Agent of the United States' Bank.

Consols are at present 90i for Account ; Money, 90i ;
Exchequer Bills 1 discount, par, 2 discount ; India
Bonds, 2 to 1 discount ; India Stock, 249 248.
