44 We have gs yet no Wort:scion of the arrival of
Lord Cochrane in the Archipelago, though some arts.
munition. and even officers engaged by him, have ar-
rived. Those officers- appear to doubt his arrival. It
is said, that one of the steam-boats destined for him was
forced to put into Sardinia, from a derangement of
its machinery." . .

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
This is a Holiday at the Bank, and the Royal Exchange is also
shut till twelve o'clock ; but the Stock Exchange and Foreign
markets are open.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 79 to I, opened this morning
at 79 buyers; but soon after they receded to 781 for the Ac-
count, with little doings This decline is owing to the Order in
Council for opening the Ports, as a large capital will be wanting
for the purchase of Corn, Oats, &c. Also, the Meeting of Parlia-
ment on the 14th of November has operated, in some degree, to
depress the Consol market.
In the Foreign market there is but little doing, and Mexican
Bonds, which opened at 53, have declined to 521 to 1.

Parliament, it will be seen by a Proclamation in last
night's Gazette, has been further prorogued from the
2d to the 14th day of November next, when it will 14 sit
for the despatch of divers urgent and important affairs."

Last night's Gazette contains a Proclamation of a Very

important nature. By the laws at present in force, it is
well known, foreign oats cannot be admitted into the
home market until the average price of the quarter is
275. nor pease, until the average price is 535. a quarter.
,Prom the Returns made io his Majesty's Government,
it appears that the prices of oats and pease, respectively,
already exceed those sums, and that they are still rising.
By the existing law, however, no importation can take
place until ,the 15th November, when the quarterly
averages fall again to be struck, although a considerable
failure in the crops of oats and pease, aggravated by an
apprehended deficiency in the potatoe crop, renders it
probable, that, before that time, very serious inconve-
niences may ensue. His Majesty, in Council, accordingly
grants permission, for the immediate introduction into
the home market, of oats, oatmeal, rye, pease, and
beans, whether at present warehoused or not, merely
requiring sufficient sureties from the importers, for the
payment Of a duty of 2s. on each quarter, on oats ;
Sc. 6d. on each quarter of rye, pease, or beans ; and
2s. 2d. on eath boll of oatmeal imported in consequence
of this Procla maims.

We extract the following article from the Allgemeine
Zeitung of the 26th ult.'received by the German mail
this mornieg:
FRANKFORT, MIMS 20.

Many strangers have already arrived here for the
approaching fair, but they are all sellers, who, in every
fair, usually come a few days earlier, as if by first
taking possession of the market they thought to obtain
an advantage. According to all conjecture, this fair is
likely to be abundantly supplied with British manufac-
tures of all kinds; and the competition of German and
foreign houses will probably be very great. Thus it is
announced that a great Hamburgh house, which has
frequented our fair for several years past, has purchased
many thousand pounds worth of cotton and woollen ma•
nufactures, at extremely low prices, which it intended to
send to the far. We find also numerous advertisements
from tradesmen here, who are not properly merchants,
in which various articles are specified, some of them
with names hitherto unknown here, and offered un-
der prime cost. With respect to the competition of
foreign merchants, we do not well sm how they can sell
equally good articles at lower prices than our oaf
merchants, as the latter can, doubtless, make their pur-
chases on the spot on as good terms as the others ; and
with respect to the advertisements we have mentioned,
it is evident that their chief object is to tempt buyers,
though it cannot be denied that considerable injury may
result to the met chant who proceeds on the old system, as
too many buyers are tempted by low prices, without at-
tending to the quality of tlre article. However, this
conjuncture for taking a fair advantage, of which nobody
can be blamed, will pass over, as it is impossible in the
nature of things that every at title can long be sold at
a price less than the expense of producing it; and a

concurrence of circumstances like the present, in which
the distressed situation of the manufacturers in England
has produced these anomalies, must be transitory, and
class with the cause. Setting aside the unfayourablt
circumstances for the merchants, as far as the articles in
question are concerned, there is every reason to expect
A satisfactory result of this autumn fair, with rcgatd

to an such' goods, as being ready manufactured, Ate,
objects of immediate consumption, because the rich
harvests of this year, and the almost certain result of the
vintags, are a sufficient encouragement for the pur-
chasers for the little Ira' ket towns and the country, to
provide themselves with a stock to meet the probable de.
mad. In fact the prospects of the vintage are so certain,
that if for the intervening five or six weeks the weather
should not be quite so favourable as it has hitherto been,
the wine may suffer a little in quality, but in quantity
will exceed at all events the amount produced for
many years. Among the articles of which large quan-
tities have arrived for the fair, Met loos may be men-
tioned, for which there is indeed always a great demand
at the autumn fair, with a view to the approaching win-
ter. Some manufacturers of plain and printed calicoes
and other articles, are already here ; the Swiss are not
yet come, but they are generally the last. Considerable
supplies of fine, middling, and ordinary wool are on the
spot, but we have not yet sufficient data to form a very
decided opinion respecting that article.

Tatum:, Amax 19.—We are nil without news direct from
the Nom.

The Etoik of Thursdly contains intelligence from
Greece of a late date, which we extract in another co.
lumn. The affairs of that unhappy country appear
desperate. The whole military resources of the Inde-
pendent cause are limited to the islands, and a few un-
provided fortresses. Athens is again in the power of
the Tuiks, who may soon be expected to invade the
Morea from the north, while the Egyptians attack it
from the south. Lord COCHRANE'S arrival in the
Archipelago was not yet known, but expected. He had
been preceded by many officers engaged by him, and
by ships laden with ammunition, which he had sent. It
is said, that one of his steam vessels had remained in
Sardinia, on account of some defect in the machinery.
The same fatality, therefore, if it be one, seems to have
most unaccountably attended all the steam vessels con-
structed to serve the noblest cause ever espoused or
marred by man.
