to-day, the sales amounting to nearly 7,000 bales. Specu-

rates for all descriptions remain at Friday's prices, and
the market closed steadily.

ness in the Share Market to-day has been extremely
dull. There are only two transactions to record. Great

By the arrival of the packet ship New York, from
New York, which place she left on the 20th ult. Papers
of that date have been received. They arc five days
later than the former advices. -

'The .ru.“av important_ nc-vv. s brought by this arrival is a
long Message from President Tyler, putting his veto on
the Fiscal Bank Bill, with his objections.
From the New York Express of the 20th.
Washington is the great point of attraction, and the
proceedings in Congress are looked to with intense inte-
rest. The partial defeat of the Bankrupt Bill was re-
ceived by a 19.rge body of the citizens with deep regret.
. A letter published in the same paper states that the
Whigs have bad a conference, and are disposed to effect
the passage of the Land, the Bankrupt, the Revenue, and
possibly a Bank Bill. The feeling in New York is that
the leading measures of the Session ought to be adopted
notwithstanding the veto. The extra Session was called
to pass the above-named measures, together with the re-
peal of the Sub-Treasury and the Loan Bill. The two
latter are completed, and if any, or all the former should
be carried, the object of the special Session will be ob-
tained.

The trade of the present season opened with a much
better feeling than the previous two or three years, and
had the Bank Bill have passed, there would have been a
great deal more confidence, and would have inspired both
sellers and purchasers to have extended their operations.
The Veto Message will undoubtedly have a good deal of
influence to check the fall trade.
M'LEOD.—The term of the Court at which M'Leod is
to be tried, commences at Utica, on the 27th September.
No alteration to notice in the Money Market. Ex-
change on England, 8- 9 ; United States Bank Shares,
148 1.
The advices from Canada reach to the 17th ult., but do
do not brinc, any news of importance. There had been
very little business doing in the markets generally for
some time past ; all parties are, however, looking for •
ward to next month for the commencement of good fall
business. Exchange, private, on London, 91 per cent.
