"The prevailing tone in the foreign and colonial pro-

dulness ; cccasionally where it was thought desirable to
complete shipping orders, the public sales have gone off

in, buyers being unwilling to pay previous rates. The
further rise in the Bank rate for discounts on the 29th

demand inourmarkets, and the home buyers seeing no im-
Mediate prospect of advance in prices, are content to supply

Material. alte,-.-ation to notice in the stocks. Dyes and
dyeing mater:a I have been only in moderate demand, at

all lower since our last. The reports from the Conti-
nental Produce Markets notice the general demand as
dull except for rice, in which considerable business had
been done. From Calcutta apd Bombay the reports
are most favourable for imports, but in exports there
Was but little doing, in consequence of the unfavour-
able accounts of prices from the home market. The
quantity of goods coming forward is unusually small.
Prom the cotton manufacturing districts the late reports
notice an improvement in the tone of the markets,
In consequence of the improved accounts from India,
and also from increased purchases having been made for
the Continent at rather better prices. In the woollen
districts business transactions continued to be limited,

The Gold Mine Shares are neglected, and the

the 28th inst., at which the three green ribands, vaca, 6
by the deaths of the Marquis of Huntly, Lord Saltoun,
and the Earl of Warwick, will, it is expected, be be-
stowed by the Sovereign upon the Earl of Haddington,
the Duke of Athol, and Lord Panmure. Summonses
have been issued to the knights brethren, and officer,.;
connected with the order, to attend at the approaching
ceremony of investiture.

The Wordsworth memorial Window, intended for the
new church at Cockermouth, has been painted by Messrs.
Hardman, and is ready for fixing.

HAMBIIRGII.—The advices from Hamburgh mention
that the rate of discount had advancad to 51 to A, with the
appearance of a further rise being probable. About
60,0001. of silver had been received from London, but a
larger sum had been sent to Copenhagen.
ODESSA.— The Odessa accounts to the 12th of October
mention that on the previous day Pi;nce Merschikoff
had arrived at that port. Considerable uneasiness pre-
vailed, and the transactions were consequently very
limited. Freights were rather lower, and a numerous
fleet of merchantmen had been repor'Led as approaching.
Meanwhile the supplies of wheat and other vain ar-
riving from the interior were extraordinarily large. Al-
though private houses had been convertsd into granaries,
numbers of laden carts, it is stated, were still forced to
remain in the streets.

4°lse'gn are wanted, and former prices are paid for Brazilian

cels there are not many buyers. The quantity of British
Plantation landed last week at the East and West India

tierces, 4,253 barrels. Refined has been dell at previous
rr.tes. Brown lumps 44s 6d per Oat. •
COFFEE.—There is a quiet market. Native Ceylon is
at 45s ed to 46s 6d, and not in much demand. The supply
is more plentiful. There are but few buyers of Plantation
for export or home use, but lower prices are most taken.

The current number of the Ici.vital of St. Paersburgi
just received contains a curious mistake, which may lead
some people to the apprehension that the British Am-
bassador had quitted that city. Sir Hamilton Seymour
is announced to have lest St. Petersburg, and to have
arrived by steamer at Lubeck, but the person intended
to be named was Captain Hamilton, a bearer of d!s-
patches. . I
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS OF AUSTRIA.—The financial ne-
cessities of Austria seem to become every thy more
urgent. Since the failure of her recent attempt to raise
a loan in London she has been obliged to obtain fat her
ass!staxce from the Vienna Bank, and consequently to
authortse an increase of paper I;ssucs during the past
month to an amount equal to half a million sterling.
NEW YORK.—The gold received from New York
yesterday was 100,0001., in addition t 3 the 30,0001.
brought by the Andes on Saturday. Tne mercantile
accounts show a considerable increase in the pressure
for money, the rate for the best paper being as high as
12 per cent., and several failures had taken place.
Among these wet a Hunt and Co., dry goods jobbers ;
Jones and Johnson, insurance brokers ; Young and
Howell, whole7ale grocers ; and Mr. S. Draper. The
liabilities of Hunt and Co. are stated to be equal to
70,0001., but they had shown a satisfactory balancc-
sheet, and were expected to resume. Alt kinds of se-
curities were depressed, but not to any sezious extent,
nor was there any apprehension of unsoundness in trade
generally. The shares of the Crystal Palace have been
falling for many weeks, and have at last reached 55.
A few months back the price was above 150.
DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures from
the port of London for the Australian colonies during
the past week show a decrease. They have, altogether,
comprised thirteen vessels—six for Port Philip, with an
aggregate burden of 3,504 tons; three to Sydney, with
an aggregate burden of 1,721 tons ; three to Adelaide,
with an aggregate burden of 1,118 tons; and one to
Hobart Town of 390 tons. Ihe:r total capacity was,
consequently, 6,733 tons. Rates of freight exhibit a
further tendency to decline.
BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general
business of the port of London during the past week,
there has been much activity, and although the arrivals
have diminished, they are still numerous, and consider-
ably above the average. The number of vessels reported
inwards was 280, being 70 less than in the previous week.
The arrivals of timber and tallow from the Baltic have
been large ; but the quantity of grain reported is not -o
great, the total being 60,231 quarters, including 34,085
quarters of wheat. In addition to this, there have been
14,915 barrels of American flour received. Of tea there
were reported 9,144 packages; of coffee, 4,752 bags and
2 casks ; of cocoa, 2-396 bags ; and of sugar, 6,348 bags,
1,999 hhds., 1,049 casks, and 1,379 boxes. The number
of vessels ceared outwards was 87, being 36 less than in
the previous week ; of these, 11 were in ballast, and 13,
as above stated, for Australia and Van Dieman's Land.
The shipments to those colonies still continue large, and
the actual exports for the week show a total of 732,717
yards of call.coes, plain and part dyed ; 123,185 yards
of crapes, cambiics, and guases ; and other articles of
the declared value of 89,9441., besides large quantities
of hosiery, caps, counterpanes, quilts, shawls, &c. The
nuMber of vessels on the berth, loading for Australis;
Van Diemen's Land, and New Zealand, on the 22cl
inst., was 84, being 46 less than on tae 22d ult. Of
those now loading, 8 are for Adelaide, 6 for Geelong,
9 for Hobart Town, 2 for Launceston, 15 for Mel-
bourne, 5 for New Zealand, 15 for Port Philip, 2
for Portland-bay, 21 for Sydney, and 1 for Swan
River.

A WILD MAN.—A man named Williams was stopping
at the United States Hotel yesterday, who might justly
be styled a "wild man." He eats nothing that is
cooked, nor drinks anything but water. His meats,
potatoes, and all his vegetables, cabbages, turnips, &c.,
are raw. He alleges that he has not eaten any cooked
food for several years, and that any deviation from his
present mode of living would most probably cause his
death. He resides in lowa, and is on his way to Wash-
ington, to make a purchase of some United States land.
