The New York packet-ship Sheridan arrived here
this forenoon at ten o'clock. She sailed on the 25th
ultimo, and brings papers of that date. We have
been politely favoured by Captain de Peyster with se-
veral New York journals of the latest dates. We sub-
join the state of the money market on the 24th ultimo.
There had been a dreadful tornado at Natchez, the
particulars of which will be found below.
A great storni.had also been experienced in 11:inois
in the beginning of last month. It did very great da-
mage to the farms, on which much valuable stock had
been killed by the falling of timber. The rivers had
also risen to a great height, and done much damage.

The British Queen. steam-ship, arrived at New York
on the 15th of May, in 13 days and 11 hours.

There is no political news of importance, either from
the United States or Canada.
The Sheridan and the Columbus, New York packet-
ships, the Monongahela packet from Philadelphia, the
ship Talleyrand, and several others from the southern
states, arrived this. day with the same tide. .
The Columbus has brought 50,000 dollars on freight.
MONEY MARKET.

SUNDAY, MAY 24-6 P.M.—The accounts from China
which reach us to-day, are of a more favourable nature.
There is some disposition on the part of the Chinese to com-
promise.

Yesterday but a small business was done ; nothing occur-
red to relieve the markets of their gloomy features. Capi-
talists are waiting with anxiety the result of the proceedings
at Harrisburg, and not without uneasiness at the probable
passage of the Sub-Treasury Bill. This has long been a bug
bear in the money market ; and the anticipation of its action
has caused more real mischief than its actual operation will
do. Trade is trammeled by the impossibility of getting
money from the country, west or south. Our banks will
touch no southern paper, and therefore the merchants are
very cautious of selling. Many of our dry goods houses have
actually received consignments of flour from the west, as a
means of payment. This approaches very nearly a !barter
trade. Instead of the sound banks depreciating their cur-
rency to a par with the broken banks of the south, the south
must keep their currency on a par with New York, if they
wish to keep their credit good at the centre of trade. The
sales at the Stock Exchange were small; U.S. Bank declined
per cent. ; Harlem .1 per cent. ; Stonington per t.eut. ;
Farmers Trust -} per cent.
Nothing has yet been done in the Pennsylvania legislature
towards redeeming the honour of the state. An evident
anxiety fur the situation of affairs is fast increasing in
Philadelphia. The former advocates of the suicidal course
of the state, in legalizing suspension in order to borrow
money, that the question of taxation may be postponed, are
becoming alarmed at the result of the measure. The abso-
lute ruin which is so nearly before the state, has caused a
graat alteration in the tone even of the bank organs. If the
credit of the state is lost, the expanded hanks lose almost
their last chance of recovery, and they are becoming anxious
that some regular means of meeting the interest should he
authorised by the state, in order to restore confidence in her
stock both at home and abroad. A New Orleans paper, in
allusion to recent remarks of ours on the currency of that
city, has the following :
Mr. Bennett says, "that the depreciation of the southern
currency goes on increasing, which is a consequence of the
expansion of those banks under the irredeemable policy."
This is news to us here. Has there been any expansion in
this city ? We ask the thousand industrious merchants, who
are now in court, if there has been any such thing ? No, no.
The screw has been forced down and not upwards.
These remarks show a great want of acquaintance with the
movements of the New Orleans banks and trade. New
Orleans is the great centre of southern trade, and is the chief
market for cotton. The movements of her banks, therefore,
have great influence on every other point. Since the sus-
pension, the banks have published their returns monthly. A
careful observance of the figures thus put forth, connected

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Trits DAY.

We continue to receive altogether very scanty supplies
from Ireland, and those in coastwise since Tuesday last con-
sist of little more than a few parcels of Wheat and Beans,
with a fair quantity of Malt ; while, chiefly from the Conti-
nental ports of Europe, the arrivals contain 9,629 quarters
of Wheat, with nearly 12,000 barrels Flour from the Ameri-
can States ; whence seven or eight more vessels are up to-
day, partly with Flour, the particulars of which. are not yet
ascertained.

YV
Although a few weeks of dry weather would now be very
acceptable to secure the crop of Hay, which is universally
heavy, yet, with fertilising showers and sun alternately, all
kinds of produce upon the ground continue to improve daily
in this district • as unquestionably, however, a considerable
portion of the stock of GlTain and Flour, remaining here, will
be requisite to satisfy a wide circle of demand until harvest,
the trade hitherto has not been seriously depressed by the
prospect of an abundant season. Thus our market this
morning was well attented by town and country millers, and
in most descriptions of Wheat, but principally in fresh sam-
ples of foreign red, a fair extent of business was transacted,
at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. upon the current rates
of this day se'nnight.
American Flour, the only kind apparently saleable to-day,
realized 355. to 365. duty paid, 245. 6cl. to 255. per barrel in
bond, and of the latter there were few importers disposed to
sell, about 8000 barrels having changed hands since Tuesday
last.

___
Foreign grinding Barley continued to meet a tolerable
demand on the full terms last noted. Malt dull of sale,
and Beans in limited request, at a decline in the value of
of each of ls. to 2s. per qur. In Peas no variation.
