Advices from San Francisco to the 12th

ceived via New Orleans, state that Walker's posi-
tion in Nicaragua was still more favourable.

nois had voted the Buchanan ticket, making the

The Hon. J. M. Clayton, the American Minister
who negotiated the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, died on
the 9th, after a protracted illness. According to the
Herald,— _ _ _

" The general opinion that be had been overreached
by Sir Henry Buiwer affected his spirits; and it is said
he wag several times driven to his bed by illness pro-
duced by anxiety of mind."

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says :

"That the British Government do not like the aspect
and condition of things at Panama, and have informed
our Government to that effect. They are fearful, judg-
ing of the report of Commissioner Corwine some weeks
ago, that our Goverment contemplate, following out the
suggestions contained in the report of that gentleman,
occupying the isthmus of Panama with a strong force
sufficient to protect the rights of American citizens in
transit over that strip of country. Our Government, I
understand, have not come to any fixed determination as
to what they will do. The instructions, however, of
Mr. Corwine, our consul at Panama, are clear and ex-
plicit ; and if, in his judgment, anything should arise
which would seem to demand it, a Government vessel
will be sent there and remain there too, to protect Ame •
rican citizens at whatever hazard ; and Secretary ➢Tarcy,
I am fully persuaded, will so inform our anxious cousins
across the Atlantic."

The New York' Courier and Inquirer says :--
"No candidate that was not elected has ever received
so large an electoral vote as Fremont, and no successful
candidate so small a one as Mr. Buchanan is likely to
have, if, indeed, he has been chosen by the people."
In Warren-street, New York, a fire had broken
out in a wholesale drug store. and destroyed pro-
perty to the amount of 500,00 dols.
A great conflagration had occurred at Syracuse,
devastating the city to the extent of nearly
1,000,000 dols. and rendering numbers houseless.
New York commercial advices state that the
stock-market, which had generally advanced dur-
ing the past week with an active business, closed
dull, with a tendency to reaction. The demand
yesterday was mostly of a speculative character,
but the prices generally were not affected. The
demand for railroad bonds was limited, with a
downward tendency of prices. At the second
board an increased activity prevailed at a heavy
decline for the leading railroad shares.
The demand for money was still active, mainly
from the produce dealers and stock operators, but
the necessities of the mercantile community at
large were not so pressing as they were last week,
and the general belief appears to be that the worst
of the " fall" stringency is over. First class
paper went freely at 0 to 10 per cent, for 30 to 60
clays, and 10 to 12 per cent. for three to six months.
°The Bank specie averages show a handsome in-
crease, despite the non-arrival of the Californian
packets and the large export from this port and
Boston last week.
In exchange the business for the Asia has boon
but, as low as prices were quoted,
prettybills
on
La ,
don were 8 to 9.1 per cent. premium ;
1,
Paris, sf. 20c. to sf. 171-c. at 60 days, and sf.
12c. short sight ; and Hamburg, 361 to 361.
In the cotton market the European and Southern
advices combined have exerted a depressing in-
fluence, and prices declined fully Vie. ; at the de-
cline there has only been a moderate demand,
mainly to meet the immediate requirements of
home spinners.
The demand for pork has been limited to the
wants of the local trade, which has been small, the,

consumption being restricted by the high prices

ruling.
The last accounts per Atlantic of the New York
flour markets report a decline of sc. to 10c. per
barrel. This was followed by a more considerable
reduction, so that up to Thursday evening the
fall in prices was not less than 15c. to 20c. per
barrel, as compared with the last quotations.
Since thou, however, the recovery has been equally
decided, and at the close this day prices, with a
strong market, are quite as high as on the morning
of this day week.
In tobacco we notice the sales of 86 hilds, of Ken-
tucky and Marysville, at 12c. to 15c.; 219 bales Ha-
vannah, part 35c. to 37c. ; 12 cases Florida, 20c. to
60c. ; and 84 do., dried leaf, 12c. to 26c., usual terms.
The market for manufactured is quiet, the season
for active operations haying about closed. Scotch
pig iron was inactive, with further sales of 200 to
300 tons at 30 to 31 dols., mostly 30 to 35 dols., six
months ; and 150 tons 27 dols 50c. cash, and 14
days ; 100 tons English refined bars sold at under
60 dols. ; 50 ditto common, 54 dols. ; 50 ditto rod,
66 to 69 dols. ; 25 ditto hoop, partially damaged,
72 dols. 50c. ; and 25 ditto, boiler plate, 3ic., six
months. English sheet is firm at 3ie. for singles,
and 4ic. for doubles and tre ides.

Liverpool coal was in small supply, but the mar-
ket for foreign generally was dull, and prices rather
in favour of buyers.
Freights are firmer to Great Britain, with an
active business.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 11.
Sales of cotton to-day 16,500 bales, at a decline
of c. to lc. We quote middling, at 111 c. to 11ic. ;
red wheat, 62c. ; white wheat, 67c. ; mixed corn,
72c. Another account says cotton has slightly de-
clined ; sales to-day, 1,700 bales ; operations are
waiting steamers' advices. White corn is quoted
at 75c. ; freights dull; sterling exchange, 84c. p.m.
