To-day': market was by no means heavily supplied with
foreign stock as to number, but its general quality was
good, especially that of the Sheep from Holland. From
cur own grazing districts, the receipts of Beasts fresh
up this morning were moderate, the time of year con-
sidered; whilst their condition was by no moans first-
rltP. Owing to the favourable change in the weather,
and the increased attendance of both town and country
butchers, tho beef trade ruled active, and the whole of
the stock was disposed of, at an advance in the quota-
tions obtained on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The
general top figure for Beef was 3s Bd, but 3s 10d per
gibs was made for very prime Scots. From Lincolnshire,
Leicestershire, and Northamptoesbire, we received 2,300
:short horns, and from other parts of England 700 Here-
fords, Runts, Dovons, &o. No supplies reached us from Scot-
land, The aggregate supply §lieep being compuratiTely

limited, we have to report an improved demand for that
description of stock, the value of which was enhanced
2d per Slim. The primest old Downs realized 4s to
4s 2d per 81bs without difficulty. Although the num-
ber of Calves was somewhat extensive, the Veal trade
ruled steady, and the currencies had an upward ten-
dency. We had a better trade for Pigs, at fully the late
improvement in value.

BOROUGH NOP PACJIAZIEET.
The declaration of the Canterbury duty upon the pre-
sent year's growth of Hops at 40,846/ 17s 2d, and
Sussex at 47,0831 14s 63, has checktd the demand for
most kinds, and, in some instances, prices are drooping.
The market continues to be well supplied. New Mid
and East Kent pockets, 140 s to 2205; New Weald of
Kent ditto, 120 s to 1455; New Sussex ditto, 1103 to
128$; Yearlings ditto, 95s to 110 s.
.730ROUG11111N13 SPITALMEEMS.

Since our last report a few parcels of Polattoes-400
tons have arrived coastwise, in excellent condition.
The imports have amounted to 32 casks from Hamburgh,
194 bags from Antwerp, 36 ditto from Rot terdam, 10
sacks from Harlingen, andloo tons from Ghent. Really
fine qualities are quito as dear, but other kinds are a
dull sale :—Essez and Kent Regents, 60s to 75s per ton;
Ditto Shaws, 50s to 68s per ton; Ditto inferior Qualities,
25s to 40s; Ditto foreign, 35s to 452.
WOOL.

The public sales of Colonial Wool commenced at the
Hall of Commerce on Thurseay, and will be continued
till the 15th proximo. About 6,000 bales have already
been disposed of. Low qualities, at vary full prices;
medium ditto, at an advance of Id, and fine said per lb
compared with the rates paid at the previous suctions.
The attendance of both home and foreign buyers has
been very large. The stock in warehouse here is about
60,000 bales. Very little is doing by private contract,
owing to the high rates demanded by the importers.
Last week's imports into London were 1,200 bales from
Odessa, 1,300 from Sydney, 48 from Bombay, 555 from
tort Beaufort, 600 from Hobart. Town, 14 front► Ant-
werp, 500 from Algoa Bay, 13 from Rotterdam, and 8
from Hamburgb, with 100 packages from Ireland.

AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING.
By the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship Ca-
nads, Harrison commander, we have received advices
from New York to the 14th, and Boston to the 18th
instant. The usual telegraphic dispatch from New
York had not been received at Halifax when the Ca-
nada sailed.

The Canada has bronght the Washington mail-bags
and 39 passengers, but no specie.
The United States mail steamship Atlantic, West
commander, from Liverpool, had not arrived at New
York on the morning of the 14th inst.

The United State.; mail steam-ship Washington,
which sailed from New York for Southampton on the
4th inst., returned to New York on the morning of
the 12th inst. Her machinery had been disabled, it
having broken the strap of the starboard crosstail link.
At the time of the accident she was proceeding under
the usual pressure of steam, with a smooth sea. She
was being repaired, and would resume her voyage on
the 18th instant.

A telegraphic communication from Toronto states
that Messrs. klincks and Morin were conducting ne-
gotiations for the formation of a new Ministry with
every prospect of success.
We have advices from Vera Cruz to the 4th inst.
Accounts from the capital to the 7th ult. represent
the Government to be in great confusion, and almost
without resources. The Treasury being at the lowest
ebb, ineffectual attempts had been made to form a new
Cabinet. The Government were not yet aware of
the revolution in Northern Mexico.

In the New York money market a great stringency
continued to be experienced, and high prices had to
be made for accommodation ; for sterling exchange
there was but a moderate inquiry, and drawers were
rather firmer. The leading houses asked 101 for
sterling, but the market ranges from 9i to 101, with
but little inquiry. Several failures are announced at
Salem, amongst them Mr. Pingree, whose liabilities
are nominally stated at 750,000 dolls., and his assets
at 250,000 dolls.
Cotton had declined 13. per lb., with very light
sales, but on the 14th the market showed signs of
activity.
The flour market, which had been much depressed,
had assumed a firmer tone.

Wheat was not much inquired for; lower rates
would be taken to make sales.

Indian corn was unchanged.
Provisions inquired for at previous rates.
Scotch pig iron in good demand at 20 doll. 50c.
six months.

GATHERING.

Freight to London, 31 to 31 per bushel for wheat
and Indian corn, and 303. per ton for cheese.
Advices from Ilavannah to the Bth inst. contain no
news of interest. Sugars were quiet, the finer quali-
ties being scarce, the stock and shipments amounting
to 130,000 boxes ; molasses selling at 21 reals.
Exchange on London, 111 premium ; money
easier; rates, 91 to 10.
The indemnity subscription had reached 150,000
dolls.

Freights had improved.
CHARLESTON, OCT. 12.
MThere was very little demand for cotton to-day;
forced sales to the extent of 1,000 bales were made at
a considerable decline; fair quoted 8} to Bf.

THE -HOUGHTON " HAY AND STRAW"

no THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
,„,Bntßs•-.1 laving already disposed of the great race of
2Y, with the exception of my final remarks, I shall
now in r egular order review the bill of fare for the
week. Chere are sixty-one stakes and matches on the
list, w' .ch gives an average of ten per diem; they will
not, he !Pierer, be so evenly divided, Monday beginning
with n
19e only. The list for the day is of the skeleton
descrq Rion; six sweepstakes over various courses, al-
thougt i now nominated for the entries, have not reached
IN
me, btch in fact matters but little, as ere this ap-
pears in print above half will have been de-
cided. h Criterion Stakes of 30 sovs. each,
2.0 ft, CO: two years old; colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 51b;
from. the turn of the lands in, which, hieb, by the
bye, ad up hill, will of
and a good criterion of the
merits. of the animals engaged therein. The field will
consist 01 Daniel O'Rourke, the Knight of the Shire
Lord Eza 'toy's Stockwell, and perhaps Aereosaen,dCarearchaarras,
Frantic., St. Alban, Fidgetty Firl, Glen
Red Hirai 1. In consequence of the penalty' that pwill
fall
to the I.e ; of RED BIND, I think her starting ver
dubioua; were she to do so, I should
mostattainly:
awardbet the first or second place; in her shall pl :.!e Daniel O'Rourke first, Glenluce second,ence and
zu 0 Stockl third. The two Matche
s over the T.Y.C. will,
I fancy , be won by the two Sophistrys.
marrow's races commence with a Handicap Plate
of 100 son., which, together with six other stakes, have
yet to close and name.
The field for the groat stake of tho week—the Cam-
bridge' shire—will in all probability be very large, end
consist of the following:—Bord4iux (d), Lady Evelyn
(d), N ewminster, The Nigger, Grecian, Prime Minis-
ter, L iadstone, Neasham (d), Knight of Gwynne, The
Italian, Ariosto, Mountain Deer, Ribaldry, Ephesus,
Dulcet, , Officious, Confidence, Heroine, California,
Darki' Eliza Middleton, Ellerslie, Garforth, The lie'
riot, dangerford, Haricot, Breba, Deceitful, Mokanna,
Peg Atm, Humphrey, Manifold, Candlewick, Boarding
SeleJol Miss filly, Follow-me• Lads, and Curl. In sum-
r.iang up, on Saturday, I gave it as my opinion that the
race would be between Prime Minister, Ariosto, Moun-
tain Deer, Eliza Middleton, Haricot, Ellerslie, Breba,
and Newminster. My opinion remains unchanged; but,
as eight is rather a tremendous selection, I must cut them
down. The Prime Minister, Ariosto, and Mountain Deer,
I consider much on a par, and know not which to
choose fr om the three. Breba, notwithstanding the
lines that Sir Joseph holds in his hands, I cannot fancy
will terra out a winner, although I think it very likely
she may obtain a place. Newminster, I think, will
finish in the third or fourth position ; Eliza Middleton
will be either first or imbedded in the ruck ; and, con-
sidering ;the size of the field, I shall take to myself twoforlorn he apes on this occasion, in Haricot and Eleralie;
but before all commend me to the three first-mentioned,
PRIME MINISTER, ARIOSTO, and MOUNTAIN
DEER.
Wedneaiay's list, like all the others, is headed
with nine .skeleton Stakes, the only fixture worth men-
tioning being a 50 sovs. Sweepstakes, for which
Odd Fellow, Fonthill, and Red Hind, the last
named of course the winner, and Foothill second.
Colonel Peel's Post Match with the Duke of
Bedford, in which two cripples are backed against
two animals not worth 501., will, I should fancy, fall
to the ground, although, if run, I look upon Colonel
Peel's chance as the best. The Match for 500 over the
T.Y.C., between Lord Caledon's Sister to Pyrrhus the
First, anct Lord Clifden'a Sister to Surplice, I must
award to tl to former. In another Match for 500 over
the same course, Lord Caledon's Brother to Shylock
will have the felicity of beating Lord Clifden's Hes-
perus. Th e Duke of Bedford's Martinet will probably
triumph c ver Sir J. Hawley's Caloric, and Faux Pas
will likely enough repeat the foregoing for Cornelius.
Thursday sports seven Sweepstakes of the skin-and-
bone description, a couple of other Stakes, and three
Matches, a very fair day's work. The Glasgow Stakes
for 100 saws. each, h ft, T.Y.C. course, last three-quar-
ters of the Rowley mile, will be contested by one of
Lord Clifden's, probably Hesperus, Ilex, Wingenund,
and, I presume, Houlakin. Should the last-named run,
I have no, hesitation in giving him the victory; in his
absence 'Wingenund is a certainty. The 50 son. Stakes
over the Ab. M. ought to be carried off by Mr. Payne's
Glenluce. The Post Match between Lord Exeter and
the Duke of Bedford will be an uncommonly close affair,
the Duke perhaps just getting the best of it. Another
Post Match between the same parties will also turn out
in favour of the Duke with his Sophistry; the Duke
will likewise have another victory in a Match for 3001.
over the Ab. M., in which his Bordeaux will dispose of
Mr.lGregory's Rhesus easily enough.
Friday's list consists of one Match and ten Stakes as
yet to close and name, including the Nursery Stakes,
which I have been successful enough to name the winner
of several years running, beginning with the memorable
victress of the Cesarewitcb, Mrs. Taft, In 1847. My
remarks on this stake will appear on Wednesday or
Thursday. The Match between Lord Exeter's Clelia
and Mr. Greville's Frantic, the former giving two stone
for the year, will I fancy be won by Frantic.
Saturday has a complement of five Stakes, and two
Matches, by way of winding-up the last great meeting at
head-quarters for the memorable year 1851. The stakes
have all to. close and name. The Match for 100 between
Guy Man,aering and Knight of the Garter, at 131 b dif-
ference, will be decided in favour of Lord Glasgow. The
Match between Scarecrow and Caracara will of course
terminate in favour of the Scarecrow. This terminates
the Houghton "hay and straw" gathering.
