California was to have Failed from Panama for San

The dates from San Francisco are to the Ist of

tion to the mountains.
Colonel Fremont was at Monterey.

fair, 12k to 13. The receipts since the Ist of Sep-
tember were 3,619 bales, against 72,412 bales the

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW Yortx, OCT. 9.—Our market is abundantly
supplied with money, yet there is a quick demand for it.
On call loans are readily obtained at the rate of 4 per
cent. premium. Good paper is discounted at 6, and
secoad-class paper at from 7 to 10. There was consi-
derable demand today for Government and other leading
securities; large sales were made of United States Sixes
of 1867 at 111 to 1111; the Coupon Stock of 1868 at
112. The market for foreign exchange has been quite
firm at rates higher than at the departure of the last
steamer. We quote sterling bills on London firm, at
from 94 to 10i; for France, at short sight, at .5 22 to
5 20; for guilders on Amsterdam, 40i to The sapply
of bills is moderate.

Cotton—The sales since our last, per Cambria of the
2d inst., amount to 7,860 bales. Of this quantity 2,600
have been taken for France, 1,800 for Great Britain and
continental ports, and the balance for home use and
speculation. The Canada's advices came to hand on the
4th inst., and, although of a dull tenour, produced no
effect, being counteracted by unfavourable advices from
the south relative to the crop, and a limited quantity
offering. From the 4th to date the market has generally
strengthened, and the quotations for middling and
middling fair qualities are I} to cent. above those last
advised; the market closing firmly, with a good inquiry.
The stock in this port is 43,821 bales, including about
7,000 bales in course of shipment; leaving available
stock, 36,821 bales. We quote this day as follows:
Inferior Florida and upland, 9e; and New Orleans,
Mobile, and TexaF, ordinary to good ordinary, 91 to
10; middling to good middling, 10} to 104; 104 to
111; for middling fair to fair, 11 to 12 123- to 13.
Flour—The market remains without material change.
The receipts are light for the season, and prices quite
steady, although fur some days the transactions have
been light and the market heavy, owing in some degree
to the stormy weather. Our quotations are about 61c.
lower in the superfine and common grades than at the
date of the sailing of the steamer Cambria. We quote
sour western at 3 dolls. 75c. too dolls.; common state and
mixed western, 4 dulls. 511 c. to 4 doll. 94c. ; pure
Genessee and southern Mi.', 5 dolls. 25c. to 5 dolls. 44c.
Grain—There is some inquiry for good wheat, but
the market is rather heavy at the asking price, and the
Gr-nessee is held at 121 c. to 122 c.; Ohio, 110 c. to 118 c.;
Canadian, in bond, 107 c. to 108 c., duty paid 115 c.

_E QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY.
The Committee of Aldermen, appointed to make
regulations for the reception of her Majesty in the
City on the 30th instant, assembled at the Guildhall
on Saturday.
It was resolved, that the Lord Mayor be requested
to give such directions to the Water Bailiff, harbour
Masters, and the watermen as might be thought ne-
cessary in arranging the progress of her Majesty to
the Custom House by water, and her return from the
ceremony.
Precepts were issued to the several livery compa-
nies, directing them to attend in their barges on the
occasion of her Majesty's visit, and it was ordered
that directions should be issued giving them the ne-
cessary information as to the stations allotted to be
to them on the river.

The Commissioner of the City Police attended, and
was consulted upon the most advisable plan of regu-
lating the carriage approaches to the Coal Exchange,
and it was referred to him to communicate with
Mr. Bunning, the City architect, on the subject, with
a request that he give in the plan which might ap-
pear to them the most eligible to the committee on
Tuesday next.

Alderman Humpliery was appointed chairman
whenever the Lord Mayor should not be present.
The Lord Mayor announced that the Royal Artil-
lery had given notice of their intentio❑ to attend as
body guard to the Queen.
The committee expressed a hope that, as it was her
11.1sjesty's wish that no firing of guns or exhibition of
fireworks should take place, special attention would
be paid to that wish by all her faithful subjects on
that occasion.

The Corporation Committee on the Queen's visit
met during the day for the purpose of discussing pre-
liminaries.

DEATH or MR. EDWARD HAWKE LOCRER.--.
We regret to notice the death of Mr. Edward Hawke
Locker, who expired at Iver, in Buckinghamshire, on
the 16th instant, aged 72. Mr. Locker was for many
years a Commissioner of Greenwich hospital, but in
1544 he was compelled, by the gradual decay of his
bodily and mental faculties, to resign his appointment.
Although five years of retirement from the busy world
may have caused many to forget his name, we cannot
resist paying some small tribute to the memory of a man
who deserves the sympathies of this maritime country as
the originator of the Naval Gallery of Greenwich Hos-
pital. Few who repair to Greenwich Hospital will have
failed to visit the Painted Hall; and that man's heart
must indeed be cold which does not throb with some
feelings of patriotic enthusiasm on beholding the_ por-
traits and pictures commemorating the prowess of those

perseverance in the attainment of his object must excite
the admiration of all who love to trace how Britain's
naval strength increased until she became the mistress
of the seas. Mr. Locker commenced his public career in
1795; in 1804 he became private secretary to Lord Ex-
mouth, and was with him in India, the North Seas, and
the Mediterranian, till the general peace. In 1819 he
accepted the appointment of Secretary to Greenwich
Hospital, and was subsequently made Commissioner of
that instituti‘ge
ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—
On Friday last the Doan and Chapter of Roehe,ter again
assembled, and in the curse of the day their clerk
served Mr. Winston with another deed os daring that
the Dean and Chapter had again removed, atia.ved, dis-
placed, deprived, and expelled that gentleman floe, his
ffice. The deputy-treaz,urer accompanied the chapter-
clerk, and tendered Mr. Whiston his salary up to Christ.
mas next, which he declined to receive. On the fell:iv:mg
morning Mr. Whiston delivered to the chapter-clerk a
notice stating that ho should continue to discharge his
duties as head master,and hold his office as heretofore.

FADVPRTISEMENT.]— A remarkable Cure in Hobart
Town by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—Major Welch, of
Wellington-bridge, Hobart Town, writes that Holloway's
Pills and Ointment enjoy high reputation in Van Diemen's
Land ; he speaks of one man who for yeas had been under the
treatment of the medical practitioner, and was discharged
from the hospital as incurable, and had become so miserably

renovated his health that he is now become a stout, healthy_
looking man. end his cure he solely attributes to the use of
Holloway's Pills and Ointment. Sold by all druggists, and at
Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
