The screw steam-ship Sarah Sands, Capt sailed
from Montreal for this port on the 27th ult.

A large meeting of merchants had been held at New
York to express their sentiments relative to the removal
from the collectorship of New York of Judge Bronson by
the administration. The feeling was one of universal con-
demnation. A number of resolutions expressive of the
opinion of the meeting were unanimously adopted.
The advices from Washington state that the govern-
ment had received voluminous despatches from Com-
modore Perry, giving a detailed account of his visit to
Japan. The contents have not yet bien made public.
Advices have also been received of the favourable recep-
tion of Messrs. Belmont and Daniels, by the governments
to which they were respectively accredited.

Owing to the neglect of a'watchman on the Hudson
River Railway, a great many lives had been jeopardised.
The train, a very heavy one, with two locomotives at-
tached, was run upon a short side truck, and nearly every
car was completely demolished. The forward locomotive
was run into the ground to such an extent that the hinder-
most end was elevated to an angle of 45 deg. The direc-
tors of the Crystal Palace have resolved to keep the Ex-
hibition open through the winter, instead of closing it in
December, as they had previously contemplated:
The steamer Ajax, which left New York, for Boston, on
the 23d ult., is supposed to have foundered, with all on
board. The Board of Health at New Orleans had de-
clared the yellow fever to be at an end. Judge Edmonds
had written to the Herald, succinctly and pointedly
stating his reasons for declining to become a candidate for
re-election. The judge, finding that his peculiar religious
opinions (a belief in spiritual rappings)are obnoxious to a
great majority of those composing the political party to
which he has hitherto belonged, was determined to retire
from public office. .A very destructive conflagration had
occurred in New York, on the 31st ult. A portion of
Mr. Fowler's extensive buildings, in Nassau and Fulton-
streets, were destroyed by fire, and property to the amount
of $400,000 consumed. What is still more deplorable,
two or more lives were lost. A large fire had also oc-
curred at Brooklyn, destroying about $90,000 worth of
property.

- The :Boston Transcript says :—The marine losses have
been very heavy during the past week, as will be seen
from the details given below. Upon the barque Francis,
of Marblehead, burned at Cronstadt, we hear of $82,000
insurance at the following offices, viz. :—Neptune. $13,000;
Hope, $18,000; Alliance, $28,000; City Mutual, $26,000.
It is rumoured that other offices have also lost upon this ves-
sel. The ship President was valued at $60,000. She is
insured for $50,000, as follows, viz. :—United States,
$lO,OOO ; New England Mutual, $4,000 ; Equitable,
$21,000 ; Alliance, $15,000. The owners had a policy of
$lO,OOO upon the freight list at the Alliance office. The
ship William Sturges was insured for $35,000 divided
among the following offices : —Hope, $90,000 ; Washing-
ton, $9,000 ; Boston, $9,000 ; Neptune, $8,600. The ship
Lapland was insured for $48,500 at the following offices :
Neptune, $9,000 ; Hope, $9,000 • Washington, $9,000 ;
Suffolk, $9,000; Equitable, $9,000 ; Triton, $3,500. The
losses amount to a sum which exceeds a quarter of a mil-
lion of dollars.

Advices from Honduras announce that the Inter-
Oceanic Railroad surveying party have discovered a new
route, which will enable persons going from New York to
reach California sev en days earlier than by way of Pa-
nama. The route is represented as straight, dry, and
nearly level, and passes through rich silver and other mines.
Advices from Mexico to the date of the 21st ult. from
Vera Cruz, announce that the battle between the Yucatan
revolutionists and the Mexican troops continued eight
days. A remnant of the revolutionists had fled to the
mountains. The Diario Official announces that money
had been sent to London to meet the dividend under the
convention of 1850. Two hundred and sixty-three rob-
bers, murderers, pickpockets, &c., were sent from Mexico
to Vera Cruz under a strong escort. The Spanish Ambas-
sador was still at Vera Cruz. The particulars of his dif-
ficulty with the Mexican government had' not transpired.
Horrible accounts of the depredations of Indians in the
frontier States continued to reach the capital.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

NEW YORK, Nov

MONEY.—The downward tendency which existed in the
stock market on the sailing of the Canada reached the
lowest point of depression a few days thereafter. A re-
action to some extent has since taken place, attended by
considerable transactions, the low rates having brought
out purchasers. At the close there was a general steadi-
ness but the business was limited. Loans on call on
the better class of securities can still be obtained rea-
dily at seven per cent., but long negociations are dif-
kcult. Discount on first-class paper rules at 12 to
15 per cent., and on railroad notes, at four to six
months, at from 15 to 24 per cent., according to quality.
The receipts of gold from California since our last: have
been 2,700,000 dols. The demand for gold for remittance
to Europe, it is expected, will absorb the greater part of
this amount. There is a considerable number of produce
bills on England in the market, which, on account of the
want of confidence, are difficult of negociation. Other
bills are also freely offered, and the rates are rather tend-
ing downward. Foreign exchange has moved slowly;
there are plenty of produce bills on Europe offering,
which, on account of the want of confidence, are difficult
of negociation. We quote first-class bills : London, 1091
to 1092 ; Paris, 5422 to 511+ ; Amsterdam, 481 to 41+ ;
Hamburg, 36+ to 361; Bremen, 814 to 80k ; Frankfort, 41+.
Corrox.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular, Nov. 2.)
—ln this market there have been large sales, with an ad-
vance of Ic. to per lb. on the quotations of 24th ult.
On Tuesday of last week we received, simultaneously from
Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, Macon and other points
in Georgia, and also from Alabama, telegraphic despatches
containing the information that, on the night of the 24th
October, a frost had passed over those various localities,
and, as it was generally reported, severe enough to kill
the cotton plant, a speculative feeling at once sprung up,
which continued throughout the week, the market on
Saturday closing at the advance above stated ; the busi-
ness would have been larger, but for the failure of the
mail, and the interruption of telegaphic communication
during the week, after Tuesday. On Monday we re-
ceived from Charleston, Savannah, and Augusta, let-
ters subsequent to the frost of the 25th October, and
though none deny the fact of the frost, there is great
doubt as to the extent of the injury sustained thereby,
some asserting positively that the plant was killed by
it, which others as strongly deny, and state their belief that
the frost would, on the contrary, prove favourable for
forcing open the bolls, and the gathering of much
cotton that might otherwise have been lost. The
strongest argument in favour of the opinion that no in-
jury has been done to the cotton still in the fields exists
in the fact, that both in Charleston and Savannah the
report of frost caused holders to demand higher rates ;
but accounts from the interior not confirming the frost as
a killing one, the markets became dull again, and closed
at a decline of Ic. to 4c. per lb. in the former, and. fc.
per lb. in the latter. Prices are firmly maintained by
holders, influenced somewhat by our reduced stock of un-
sold cotton. The southern markets have been dull and
drooping';' priceS are lower, sales light, stocks increasing,
foreign freights high and scarce. The following:is a state-
ment of the movement in cotton since the Ist of Sep-
tember last, as compared with the previous three years :

BEBADSTUFFS.—For flour there was an improved feeling
on the receipt of the accounts per steamer Niagara, to the
15th instant, from Liverpool ; and an advance of 61c. per
barrel was realised. The advices per Arctic, received on
Monday, gave a fresh impulse to prices, and a further
advance of 25c. per barrel has been realised. Wheat has
regained the decline of 2c. per bushel, and the market
closes with a further considerable advance, and a large
demand. Indian corn has declined 2c. to 4c. per bushel.

Britain and Ireland, since Ist September last :—Flour,
303,546; last year, 208,732 barrels. Wheat, 1,887,504;

year, 31,950 bushels.

PnovisroNs.—Pork in moderate demand, and the stock
is rather light. There is but little good old beef in bbls.
in the market, but quite a stock of ordinary. There has
been no new tierce beef come to market yet, old brought
$l7 to $2O, and newwill probably bring some three dollars
a fierce more. Butter and cheese dull.

NAVAL STORES.—SaIes of spirits of turpentine have
been made to a moderate extent, at 68c. to 70c.; crude
turpentine, $4.75; common rosin, $1.70 to $1.85; white
rosin, $2.75 to $4.75 ; tar, $3.25 to $3.621.
