REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET,

New York Daily Express-office, Aug. 18.
REMARKS.—We have no later intelligence from Europe
since the arrival of the Great Western, nor have we reason
to expect any for a week to come. This extraordinary vessel
left on Thursday at four p.m., in the midst of a very heavy
south-east gale. Inward she had about 6,000 letters. Out-
ward she must have had about 8,004). The packets that arrive
are bringing assorted cargoes, which are now much wanted.
There is evidently a considerable revival in trade. Pearl-
street exhibits more activity than it has done before in a year.
The general resumption of specie payments by the eastern,
middle, and western states, has given great confidence to the
public. All our hotels are full, or filling up with great rapi-
dity, and some of the principal ones are running over.
EXCHANGE.—DOMESTTC.—This has been the most impor-
tant weetwe have known in a year. Since our last so many
banks ha-ve resumed specie payments, that exchange on all
the states east of Virginia has come down to be less than one
per cent. This is a new state of things. Ou the western
states all exchanges have improved. Mississippi and Ala-
bama are the two worst states for exchange, and these are
getting better rapidly.
EXCHANGE.—FOREIGN.—By the Royal William, bills on
London sold at 1071 Yesterday the Great Western sailed,
and the bill holders were enabled to obtain 109, at which
very large transactions were made. There is an evident re-
vival in trade, and very large ,orders went out in the Great
Western. This is the cause of the increased demand for
exchange. On France the bills stand at 522-1.
MONEY.—The resumption of specie in all the banks in the
eastern, middle, and some of the western states, is an event
of no ordinary moment. It is a source of much gratification
that the crisis has past without the least excitement or alarm.
The rise of foreign exchange is a healthy feature; it shows
an increasing trade; and even if it shoula be so great as to
induce some shipments in specie, it would not be at all
alarming. The improvement in domestic exchanges adds
much to the facility of negociating inland bills, all of which
assists in rendering money easy.

A son of Braham, the celebrated vocalist, has entered the
army, as an ensign in the 12th depot, at Tralee.—Limerick
Chronicle.

At a meeting held at Nottingham, on Tuesday, called for
that purpose, a series of resolutions were entered into to con-
struct a canal from Gainsborough to Nottingham, at an ex-
pense of £200,000, and also to form a ship canal from Hull
to Nottingham, at an expense of £.Mo,ooo.—Nottingham
Journal.

In a street at Gravesend the public are struck with the
novel announcement of "Tea made with shrimps, 9d a-head."
We may henceforth hold ourselves perfectly independent of
the hong merchants, or the closing of the gates of Canton.
There is at the present moment in a window in the Trafal-
gar-road, Greenwich, the following quotation from the Pro-
phets, " 'Oh ! Lucifer, how art thou fallen!' Id. a box." The
man sells Lucifer matches.—Greenwich Gazette.
REMINISCENCE.—The Hon. Guillan C. Verplanck, at a
dinner on board the Great Western, related the following:—
" Looking over (said he) a number of old New York papers,
I met with one published about the middle of last century,
giving an account of the coronation of George 111., which
bad been brought out in a vessel called the Sally Ann, from
Bristol to this port, 80 days. I could not help being struck
