THE AMERICAN MARIZETS.

I have very little inder,d to add to the market reports in your
p.,,sessiuti, except that the certainty of thc elcction of General
Thrri•on has giVen zonfidence, elasticity, and increased firmness
and activity to the Stock and Money Markets. No change in
cotton—no _change in flour—in fact merchants are yet full of
electioneering excitement. Hence a temporary stagnation in busi-
ness. Not so, however, in Stocks. On Monday no less than
4,900 shares of United States sank changed hands at our Exchange
t the improved prices of from 65 to 69. Yesterday 68 and I.
'•- -; an advance. Money is from six to eight per cei.t. per
aceonling to the character of the paper.

The approaching day for resumption of specie payments by the
ban4ks hcs rendered them cautious and rather contractive in their
discounts and general policy, while the premium on specie is a little
higher. Even in New York, for large amounts,- the premium is
per re t on Americ,n silver; 1:4 on Mexican dollars; and 5 to 54
on Exchange on England, 81 to 'J. Domestic exchan-
ges a I trio Lower. The Burgundy, which sailed yesterday for
ll:tyre, took out nearly 500,000 dolls. in specie ; a considerable
,unt also went out by th• English picket that should have sailed
cu :be 7th, I;ut was detained by easterly gales. The Union Bank of
Florida has uttered Sc. per ;11. on all cotton placed under its con.
trot, and doubtless other banks in the cotton regions are doing like-
wise. The latest :quotations for Genessee flour arc 4 dolls 68e. to
5 'dolls. Some confusion and disappointment will occur in English
tills and money matters, owing to the putting back of the Presi.
dent. But time will cure this trifling derangement.

TEXAS.
(From the New Orleans Bce, Oct. 9.5.)

By the art teal of the stesm.ship Savannah, we have received Gal.
vest ,n papers to the 22d inst. Congress assembles on the first
Monday in November. General Houston's plan of organising re-
cruits ter the army appears to be unpopular. The expense for sup.
sating the 'resist) navy, with its present number of vessels, is es.
timated at 571,870 dolls. boc. The Galveston Courier says, the
times. ate dull, and there is neither money, politics, nor news in cir-
culation.

There are eleven papers pubßhed in Texas, and all, with the ex-
ecption of the Austin Citv Gazette, are warmly advocating the ne
cessay of immediately sending the navy to sea, with fighting orders.
They hold that nothing but decisive and direct bellicose operations
will bring Mexico to acknowledge the independence of the young
Republic.

T!,e New York Commercial Advertiser of the 10th published an
explanat on relative to the return of the President, and from which
the followit.g is an extract :

We, the undersigned, desire to state that the good qualities of
the President as a sea-boat was tested and proved in the most satis-
factory manner during the gale, which the weathered in perfect
security, without straining a bolt or timber, and with less of motion
or working in her frame than is usually seen under similar cir-
euins•ances.

Our confidence in her [Tricot safety was therefore never once
shake❑ or disturbed, as no vessel cculd have sustained herse.f
better during such a gale as she encountered.

To Captain Keane and his officers, we also bear the willing tes-
timony of unreserved praise for their vigilant and indefatigable at-
tention to their duty Um ughout the whole of the gale; and we deem
the conduct settle captain, in returning to New York, for the rea-
sons assigned, perfectly justifiaUle, and worthy of all commendation,
as best calculated to protect the lives and property committed to
his care.

At Cl^ same time, we feel it due to the public and ourselves,
to express our unqualified disapprobation of the conduct of those
with whom the responsibility lies, who cause the ship to be sent to
sea for a %inter passage, with an inadequate supply of fuel, and an
equally manifest deficiency of hands in the crew ; the more espe-
cially as no immediate depot of coal has been formed at any place
to which the ship could repair in case of need.
