A letter, dated Glow

ster, Sept. 27,

_ Mary S. Houston, and Leonard
Mackenzie, have arrived from the fishing grounds. They
report several additional warnings by the British cruizers,
but no further seizures, except the schooner Caroline
Knight, of Newburyport, on the 11th instant, about ten
miles north of Prince Edward's Island. The owners of
the Caroline Knight have received a letter from the
captain, in which he states that there were other vessels
inside of his at the time of the seizure, and that he had no
intention to trespass on forbidden ground. Ic is estimated
that the returns of mackerel this year will fall short at
least one-half of the usual average, taking the estimate
from the " catch" during the same period last year.
Advices from Tampico to tbel2th ult. had been received
at New Orleans. The Mexican war steamer City of
Mexico and the sloop-of-war Puebla were in port. The
excitement in regard to the usurpation of Cardenas of the
Governorship of the State of Tamaulipas, still continned.
A decree had been issued conferring upon the Governor
whatever powers may be required to repress the revolu-
tionary spirit exhibited at Tampico and other parts of
the state. If the Governor considers it necessary to em-
ploy Don Antonio Canales in the matter, the necessary
licenses will be conferred on him. A pronunciamento had
been declared as a last resort. They appeal to the Gene-
ral Congress, and pronounce the election of Senor Car-
denas null and void.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, SEPT. 22

MONEY MARKET.—There is little alteration to notice
in the money market. The supply is better ; good paper
is now sought after. and the market upon the whole may
be considered a trifle easier. Although there has been
but little demand for exchange on Europe, rates are
steady. Bills on London sold at 1101. to 110-a to HO,
principally at 110 k.
CovroN.—Cotton is in very limited demand, and prices
have given way lc. to lc. To-day 500 bales sold, and
the market closed dull. The sales since the 21st instant
are estimated at 3,200 bales. The following are the pre-

sent quotations :

The Courier and Inquirer remarks :—The market con-
tinues to droop. and some sales have to-day been made at
/c. decline. The principal holders await the next and
succeeding steamer from Liverpool, and there appears to
be but one opinion as to the tenor of their advices. As
buyers, however, also anticipate a considerable advance,
we may reasonably question the policy of waiting for
these accounts to sell on. The accounts relative to the
growing crop are, as usual at this season of the year, con-
tradictory, and it is yet too early to form a correct opinion
as to the quantity likely to be brought to market.
A dispatch, dated Washington, September 28, states
that the late heavy rains, together with the army worm,
had done considerable damage to the cotton crop in
Louisiana and Mississippi.
BREAD STUFFS. Flour - has been in fair demand
- - - - - •

throughout the week, both for shipment and home use,
and prices are 64. c. per barrel dearer than on this day
week. In Wheat a further decline of 2c. to 4c. per bushel
was submitted to in the transactions up to nearly the
close of last week. The continuance of the heavy demand
which has prevailed for some weeks, has not only checked
further decline, but has even enabled the receivers to re-
cover some portion of what had been lost last week,
Indian Corn advancing : the sales to-day comprise 32,000
bushels unsound, at 69c., and Western mixed at 70c.

PROVISIONS.—Pork is quiet : sales 250 barrels, mess at
£lB, and prime at 816. Beef in fair request, at Sll to
814 for mess and £'4 to £6 for old prime. Lard steady :
300 barrels brought 111 c. to 12c. Butter and cheese firm.
