The accounts to hand from New Yurk are to the
evening of the 11th inst.
The tuners! of the President had been appointed for
Saturday, the 13th inst., at mid-day.
Mr. Fillmore, hitherto Vice-President, but now Presi-
dent of the United States, was sworn into office on the
10th inst.
The Cabinet had, as a matter of course, sent in their
resignation. Several changes are spoken of, amongst
others Mr. Webster has been named as Secretary of
State. It is supposed that very few of the late Cabinet
will be reinstated in office.
Several eulogies have been delivered in Congress on
the late President.
COMMERCIAL NEWS.
The flibernia's news, which reached New York on
the evening of the 11th inst., had led to the anticipation
that the business in cotton on the succeeding day would
be large and speculative. The businss on the 11th in
New York was limited to the sale of 700 bales. The
following are quotations.—Upland, ord. to mid. 12c. to
12.ic. to 141 c.; Gulf, ditto, 1240. to 13c.; Upland, fair
to good, 12tc. to 14ic.; Gulf, ditto, 141 c. to 15c.
The market for Breadstuff* was heavy at the follow-
ing prices:—Western Canal, 5 to 6 dolls.; Canadian,
in bond 5 to 5* dais.; wheat, 1 45 to 1 50 dolls.; Indian
corn, 3 ellow, 63c. to 64c.
American securities had not been affected by the
death of the President up to the telegraph leaving for
Halifax. The market was firm, and prices had an up-
ward tendency. United States, 63(1868) 1151.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—NOTICE.—To the readers of
Belts Life inLondon.—The sudden and injudicious change
which took place in the postal delivery of letters and news-
papers on Sunday, the 23d tilt., we regret to say caused
much disappointment to our readers, the recurrence of
which, as far as came within our province, we have endea-
voured to correct by publishing an early edition of Bell's
Life, which is delivered to the newsvendors at Five o'Clock
on Saturday morning, and by them dispatched by the morn-
ing mails to such places as have the advantage of a double
daily Post-office delivery. There are still, however, several
towns to which the advantages of the morning mails do not
extend; and we fear in such places inconvenience may stilt
be experienced. We believe it is the intention of the Post-
master-General as speedily as possible to make the delivery
by morning mails universal—a desideratum much desired on
every account. We have now to state that, in compliance
with the anxious requests of our friends in all parts of the
kingdom, we shall henceforth continue our early publication
on Saturday morning, so that Bell's Life may be had 300
miles from the metropolis on the same day, and those re-
siding in towns to which the day mails have not yet been
extended may, by the assistance of local agents, either at
railway stations or elsewhere, avail themselves of this early
edition, winch, for all useful purposes will be found sufficient,
AS. the intelligence, sporting and otherwise, will be brought
down to the latest moment by means of electric telegraph
and other app.iances. For the satisfaction of those who de-
sire to have still later news we shall, after the arrival of the
morning mails in London publish another edition, which, as
heretofore, may be transmitted by rail parcels; and so with
our "Town Edition," published on Sunday morning at Five
o'clock, and containing every important incident occurring
up to the latest hour on Saturday night. To our numerous
subscribers, for their unexampled ant extensive patronage,
we beg to return our most grateful thanks—a patronage most
extraordinary, there not being a city, town, or village in Eng-
land, Scotland, er Ireland, in which Beles Life in London is not
extensively eirculated. To this may be added, an extensive
sale in the East and West Indies, America, and, indeed, all
the four quarters of the globe. The average wile_ of Belts
Life exceeds 28,00. A sixpence enclosed to Mr. Clement,
Inn., No. 170, Strand, will insure a copy of Bell's Lffe at all
times by return of post.
