The steam transport Southampton, with troops

the 31st Oct.

Her Majesty's ship Scourge and the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamer Alhambra left
Lisbon on the morning of the 9th, the former for
Portsmouth and the latter for Southampton.
From Buenos Ayres there is not much political
news. Recent intelligence from the Azul and Pata-
gones represented things as perfectly quiet in the
South, with rumours, however, of projected inva-
sions on a large scale, in which Calfucura was to be
aided by the Milian. Indians. In commercial mat-
ters there was very little to notice. The arrivals
and transactions in the dry goods markets had been
very moderate. For articles of daily consumption
there was more activity, but the demand still ex-
ceeded theaupply. The saladeres were at a stand
still, and doomed to remain SO for the,remainder
of the current year at least. The season promised
to be very late. Dry hides arrived in great abun-
dance from the interior rivers, and also heavy sup-
plies of epidemia hides from the country districts,
notwithstanding which the demand increased and
prices continued to advance. The case was different
with salted hides, ox and horse. Hardly any-
thing was doing in wool, holders being firm and
s „eculators chary—the difficulty being enhanced by
the course of the money market. Our correspon-
dent at Buenos Ayres, in his letter of October 2,
says :
" The Government here has preseated a bill to the
Chambers, sanctioning the* arrangement made with the
London bondholders. It will, no doubt, be sanctioned ;
and the parties interested owe a debt of gratitude to Mr.
Riestra, the Minister of Finance, for the courage and
perseverance with which he has prosecuted that nego-
tiation.

" News arrived yesterday of another Indian invasion
to the north-west, but we are as yet in the dark as to
the real details, albeit Pergatnino is within a day's ride
nf the capital.
" This packet takes home a strong representation to
her Majesty's Government on the National Guard ques-
tion."

From Rio our commordal advices are to the 14th
ult. In the import-market business had been ex-
ceedingly limited since the departure of the Petro-
polis steamer. Therm had been but little movement
in the wine-market, and prices continued depressed.
Of Miditerranean red wines, sales were reported of
about 145 pipes Port Vendres at from 193$ to 2405;
Malaga white had been placed at 220$ to 2305, and
2405, according to quality. Stocks in first hands
consisted of 2,773 pipes red and 50 pipes white. Re-
cent sales of second quality Lisbon red wine at
230$ had tended to depress the market still more,
and although the stock of red Lisbon was not ex-
cessive, sales to any extent could not be effected
unless at very reduced rates. This steamer having
brought but 70 firkins butter, and expected sup-
plies being small, an unfavourable impression was
Produced on prices, and rates bad risen from 640$
to 680$ and 700$. In first hands 700 firkins.
Quotations for flour were:—Baltimore, 18$ to
18$500 ; New Orleans, 19 to 195500 ; Philadelphia,
none; Richmond, second, 225500 to 235500; ditto,
first, 24$ to 255; Stock, 32,000 brls., of which
16,000 are Richmond.
In the coffee-market a fair business was done after
the Medway sailed up to the end of the month,
since which less disposition to operate had been
manifested, as the quality of the lots at market was
not sufficiently good to meet the views of buyers.
Really good and fine coffees, both old and new, con-
tinued to arrive very sparingly, which was the more
striking as at this period of the crop a far better
selection is usually looked for. Supplies had in
p
general been moderate within the
astf ortnight.
From the Ist to the 13th October thesai sales had been
18,000 bags, and from the 15th to the 30th Sept.,
155,000 bags, making together 173,000 bag,
which 96,000 were for the United States, 4000
for the Channel and North of Europe, 30,500 for
the Mediterranean, and 3,500 for the Cape of Good
Hope. Round lots ruled'up to the 9th October for
the States from 55200 t 0.55450 ; Channel, ssloo to
to 55200 ; Mediterranean, 55200 to 55400. Since
