MONTREAL MARKETS.

MONTREAL, OCT. s.—The scarcity of money con-
tinues, and may be said throughout the season to have
greatly damped the spirit of trade. The City Bank coin•
menced discounting on Mon:lay, but the facilities it can
yet afford are very trifling—though, in a few months,
when a larger portion of its capital is paid in, and it shall
have succeeded in obtaining a circulation, of which there
is an excellent prospect, as the present feeling is decidedly
in favour of this institution—then, we doubt not, the
mercantile community of this place will experience the
benefit of an increased banking capital. But even when
the institution is in full operation there will be amp!e room
for two more banks with moderate capitals; for there
cannot be a question that the prosperity of this city is
checked from our being unable to render any considerable
assistance to the traders of those parts of the States bor-
dering on the Lakes, when we ought and should have had
much larger trade, had we been possessed of the necessary
flowing capital.
Sales have been well attended during the week, and
some of the importers have disposed of a large quantity of
goods at private sale, and generally, from their own ac.
counts, at fair prices.—West India produce alone appears
at present to afford any field, in the opinion of many, for
speculation. During the week there have been some
large transactions in both Rum and Sugar, but particularly
in the latter, the prices of which, however, have not
transpired.

Freights remain without improvement, though the
demand fur shipping at Quebec will doubtless very soon
lead to some change in our rates.

HAVANNAH MARKETS, SEPT.2B.

The Mario,s's cargo cold at 9 3.4 is. which leaves a
heavy loss.
The Aspasia and Sra del Cal have not arrived.
In other provisions we have no change except in Lard,
which is very scarce, say of good quality, sales at 16
dollars. Flour plenty.
JERIED BEEF—SouthAmerican scarce, sales at 16 1-1
of a cargo ; U. S. Jerked Beef plenty and dull, at 14 or
13 re. It is really astonishing to see that South Ameri-
can Jerked Beef is higher than that from the United
States, and it can only be accounted for from the way-
ward nature of the market.

Suca.as have advanced astonishingly, and besides very
scarce; assorted stile at 8 to 12 ra. for common to fair
quality ; anything beyond those descriptions, 9 to 13 reals.
CO?FEE—scan•ely any in the market.
Exchange on England, 73- per cent. ; U. S. .5 to 6
discount.

Mr. W. and Mr. M.. two publicans of
Waterford, having lately fixed a meeting to settle an affair
of honour, one of them, being resolved to conquer or die,
made his will, in which he left with his executor, in trust
or his children, his receipt for making ginger beer I
A friend of the late Mr. Wontner was ex-
ceedingly desirous of witnessing. for once in his life, the
awful spectacle of an execution, and was permitted by the
late Governor of Newgate to go into tl-ie pressyard. Mr.
Wontner took his friend by the area, and conducted him
to the draw ing room of his hoo4e, saying, in an agitated
manner, " When they are down (meaning the victims of
the law) let me know." He presently observed, " I know
it must be all over, and 1 will now tell you a curious fact
—I have never yet witnessed an execution. When I was
Marshal, I invariably turned in a different direction when
the platform was about to fall, and since I have been here
I have always avoided the sight."
THE DEAD ALIVE.—GLASGOW ELEC-
TION LAW.—Mr. D. M'Nicoe voted for the liberal list,
but his vote was objected to on the ground that he was
not in the burgh register. On examining the Parlia-
mentary Register, it was found that the Sheriff had marked
him as " dead ;" and Mr. Turner (Town Clerk) said in
these circumstances that he was not entitled to a vote.
Mr. M'Alister, writer, said the individual had bona fide
appeared at the poll. The Lord Provost thought that his
appearance at the poll was a pretty good proof of his being
alive. Mr. Turner said they could not alter the Sheriff's
decision. The Lord Provost—" So, then, although the
man is alive we must held hilts to be dead."—(A laugh.)
Mr. Reddie admitted it certainly was rather awkward.
Vote rejected. (Of course the individual will have an
action of damages against the Sheriff for the loss of his
vote. ) Glasgow Evening Post.

DISEASE AMONGST CATTLE.—We are
sorry to state that an epidemic is at present making sad
havoc amongst cattle, &c., in this neighbourhood. Oa
Tuesday night five cows, seven pigs, and one horse, the
property of the Earl of Harewood, died at Harewood, in
the course of a few hours. The " doctors" are at fault in
the matter ; some of them consider it a species of cholera.
The bowels of the animals were violently afficted, and the
lungs of those opened alter death, showed a considerable
inflammation. Further loss is expected. We hear that a
siutilar disea.e has manifested itself in other parts of this
neighbourhood. Two cows died at Harewood ou Thursday.
