Lord John Russell left his residence at Richmond,
yesterday afternoon, for Windsor Castle.

season is drawing to a close, and the trade for distant
sections of the country is over. The markets are,
however, well sustained. Breadstuffs are now be-
ginning to .arrive freely. New wheat, rye,
and oats,
bring high prices ; flour has advanced. Beef, pork,
lard, hams, buNer, cheese, &c., bring high prices.
New corn will appear in a month or six weeks. The
farmers of our coup try received great.prices last year,
and are even now getting high rates.
The great pro-
ducing
interest is flouJshing almost beyond all former
precedent; when this is ,the case, the country must be
prosperous.
The trade of this city du. fall pled, and large as it has shas been unexam-
been, it is believed that it
has been safe and prudent. 2kt-chants have not been
wild in their credits, nor has there been a speculative
spirit in anything. Our hotels are crowded to their
utmost capacity, and the throng of
st, angers is truly
immense. The transportation lines are all fully em-
ployed,. and goods are pressed forward to the west
19:1;11 great speed, in anticipation of the Closing of
navieition. •
Asi—Pots have suddenly gone up to 6 dollars, and 6 doas.2sc. are now asked; pearls are very firm
at 8 dollars. The stock o.n hand is reduced very low
for the season---viz., 1,329 pots, and 549 pearls, and
it is too late for large supplies to be received. There
is every appearame that the season will close with a
less stock than ever has been known.
Coal—Foreign is in demand, and is selling 1 dollar
advance; sales of Pictou sit 7 dollars -
3i / cents. ;
Liverpool, 10 dollars.
Cotton—Operators are all waiting for the arrival
of the steamer. A decline of a full cent. has taken
place, and the market is at A stand. The total re-
ceipts at all the shipping ports are 42,597 bales
against 42,150 to same date last year—an increase of
447 bales. The total foreign exports this year is
38,953 bales more than last—say, '7,111 increase to
Great Britain, 10,690 increase to Fance, 1,152 in-
crease to the orth of Europe, but 1,809 less to other
foreign ports. The shipment from uthern to
northern ports are 2,828 bales less this season than
last; but there is an excess in stock of 54,454 bales.
Dry Goods—The fall trade is drawing to a close,
and there is less business doing this week than last.
The stock at market is, however, getting small.
There is also but little doing in domestics, either for
home or foreign markets. Nearly all descriptions are
lower; sheetings and shirtings 2 to 3 per cent. lower.
Bleached are firm; prints are very lew. The manu-
factories of cotton at the present high price of the raw
materials are doing a losing business, Woollens are
doing better, and all low qualities are wanted.
Flour—Without any demand for shipment, or any
accounts from Europe, the article has gone up half a
dollar on a barrel. The demand has been active for
domestic purposes, and the supply small for the season.
New Genesee, 6 dolls. 50 cents. ; Oswego and Wes-
tern, 6 dolls. 25 cents. to 6 dolls. 37i cents.; South-
ern, viz. :—Richmondcountyand Georgetown, 6 dolls.
50 cents. ; rye flour, 4 dolls. 75 cents.; New Buck-
wheat, 1,75 to 2 dolls. per cwt. ; corn meal, 3 dolls, to
3 dolls. 87-41 cents. The receipts down the Hudson
since the opening of river navigation to yesterday
were :—Wheat flour, 2,183,472bb15. ; corn meal,
102,815bb15. Exports from the Ist to the 12th of
October :—Wheat,flour, 7,290bb15.
Grain—Wheat has risen with flour; Genesee is
held at 1 doll. 50c., and sales at 1 doll. 45c.—this is a
rise of 10c. All descriptions of Western and other
kinds have advanced in the same proportion. Corn
has advanced full sc. ; sales of 100,000 bushels west-
ern and northern yellow at 70c. to 73c. ; rye has ad-
vanced to 86c. ' - no sales of barley ; oats are down to
46c. to 48c. The receipts down the Hudson since
the opening of river navigation to yesterday are, of
wheat 1,471,004 bushels; corn 3,148,782 bushels ;
rye 232,935 bushels. Export from Ist to 12th of
October, corn 849 bushels ; wheat 7,420 bushels.
Provisions—Pork is decidedly dull; prime, 10 dolls.
50c. ; and mess, 14 dolls. 50c.; Dutchess County,
16 dolls.; sales of new beef at Bto 12. The stock
of old is small ; Ohio lard, 9 to 111 cents. Both
butter and cheese are wanted, the latter for shipment
at 6fc to 73-c.
Rice—The market is dull and declining ; sales at
3 dolls. 871-c. to 4 dolls. 75c.
Tobacco—The demand continues fair. We notice
sales of from 200 to 300 hhds. of Kentucky and
Virginia, at from 3c. to Tic. ; with some selections at
higher rates ; 350 bales Cuba, part for export, were
disposed of on private terms.
Wool—The market this week has not been so
animated as noticed heretofore ; notwithstanding sales
are light, prices remain ;,without change; about
20,0001 b. fleece and pulled have been sold at 28c. to
45c., according to quality ; also 14 bales Mexican on
terms not transpired.
Money—lt is truly surprising how little effect has
been produced here by the failures, scarcity of money,
and embarrassments in England. The largest bankers
have gone down there, and yet only two or three
firms have been seriously touched in this country.
Formerly the indebtedness and connexion on this side
were so intimate and close, that whenever a revulsion
took place in England it was most severely felt here.
Our position is changed. We are rich and indepen-
dent, and the power and strength is in this country.
The last year's distress in England has thrown this
country over 50,000,000 of additional money, which
has gone principally into the hands of our farmers.
This large sum, so widely and generally spread, has
given great individual strength. There is a demand
for money for stock operators, and for persons who
are large borrowers, to keep up the price ofTrreaall-
sury notes and Government Securities;
butfo
the legitimate business of the city money most

"fthere should be any convulsion
in trade. The Government will be
the great bor-
rowers—there is no hope for them ; they are so deep
i the war, that even if closed in any reasonable time
vast sums must be wanted. There is nothing to blight
or mar the prospects of the future but the Mexican
war, and that it must be admitted is and will be the
cause of great embarrassment.
EXCHANGES.—Foreign The bill-market is de-
cidedly lower than it was by the last packet. Buyers
are so particular that they seek for those bills drawn
by banks ; consequently the few drawers have a mo-
nopoly, and are enabled to get 109 to 1091. Good
bills
,of private drawers are abundant at 108 to 109.
There begins to be some appearance that there will
be an export of grain to a considerable extent; en-
gagements are made for corn.
SPECIE.—There is some demand for silver to go
to Havre, but more for a feeling of security than for
profit.
FRElGHTS.—Foreign—Freights are slack both to
France and England. Shippers of cotton are wait-
ing for the arrival of the steamer, now momentarily
expected.
