LATEST COMIIERCIAL

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—Since the sailing of the 1 ast steamer
our market has been in a very excited state. Bread stuffs
of all descriptions have been in active demand:, The re-
eeipts of the last intelligence frounFurope, together with that
peAviously received, have impressal dealer ; with fi conviction
that large amount of flour are grain 'will be wanted for
the En-Lglish and Continental marketal more, indeed, than
will take all our surplus stock. The orders have been so
large that s great quantit3 has already been purchased,
which is now going forward. The pri-acipal shipments are of
flour and wheat to England, corn to Ireland, and rye to Hol-
land. The prices of all these docriptions have advanced
very much—to 6 dolls. 50c. for flour, and 75 to 78 cents. for
both corn and rye. The receipts of flour, particularly in
the market from the west, within a few weeks have been
very great.
In consequence of the demand for vessels, freights have
advanced more than 50 per cent: ; all vessels, -whether Ame-
rican or foreign, are taken up with great avidity. There is
also a large amount of goods going south, and vessels in the
coasting trade are fully employed. At southern ports,
freights to Europe are dull; this is owing to the small ship-
ments of cotton, and the continued low prices.
The trade of our city with the interior is fast drawing to a
close, and most of the northern and western merchants have
returned with their goods. The sales, this fall, have been
larger than was at first anticipated.
It is believed that the orders now making out for goods,
for the spring trade, are larger than usual, and the high prices
of produce will enable our citizens to purchase more exten-
sively next season.
Exchanges on England and France are more abundant,
and the rate has declined. From present appearances, bills
will be abundant in the market during the ensuing winter.
Money is as plentiful nail has been. The rate of interest
is from five to six per cent.
Stocks of all descriptions are maintained, and but for the
agitation of the Oregon question, would go much higher.
There is no doubt that Pennsylvania will meet her coming
interest with promptitude.
Our relations with Mexico are assuming a more friendly
position,—and, from present appearances, it is not im-
probable that relations of peace and friendship may soon be
restored.

A decline of one-half to five-eighths of a cent. per lb. has
taken place in the price of Cotton since previous accounts,
but the market is firm at this.

Exchange on England is 108 i to 109.

THE BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 27.—The Penguin packet, Lieutenant
Leslie, arrived this afternoon with the Brazil mails, having
left Rio Janeiro on the 12th, Bahia on the 22d, and Per-
nambuco on the 2d ult. She brings 20,0001. on freight in
gold and diamonds.

" This packet brings no news of importance. The exchange
ruled for this conveyance at 261/2, leaving off rather flat, in
consequence of the Government being large takers. Money
was plentiful, comparatively speaking, at 9 per cent., which
high rate has been done for the best paper. The arrival of
diamonds from Bahia still continued, And, although they do
not meet with a ready sale, they must eveutttally be ex-
ported, and thus support the exchange, which had no st-
pearance of falling.

It is annoonce(rthat Senor Galvao is Appointed by the
Brazilian Government to confer with Mr. Hamilton for the
purpose of arranging a convention between the Brazils and
Great Britain, for the effectual suppressiOn of the slave-trade,
without annoyance to the lawful trade of the empire.
The Penguin brings 1-,,0 bate intelligence from Buenos Ayres.
