The following is an extract from the circular of Mr.
J. Stewart, of New York, prepared for transmission by the
steamer :

At the date of my last respects to you per Hibernia, on the
14th inst., I stated that Liverpool buyers were participating ims
the operations going forward to a very limited extent, notwith-
standing an easy freight market. For a few days subsequent ta-
the departure of that steamer, the market wore a quiet appear-
ance, as parties were reluctant to operate until the receipt of
later advices from abroad. The telegraph accounts per Cambria.
from Liverpool to 4th inst., were received late on WedutlaT
night, 18th inst. advi sing of great stringency in the money mark it
there, and a slight decline on the lower grades of our staple.
The letter mail was not received 'until Friday, 20th inst., and
the private advkes were considered more unfavourable, as no
orders came out ; and an apprehension seemed to exist that the
tightness would rather increase ; and, in fact, had commenced
to assume a permanent appearance.
The sales which have been effected since have been to the ex-
tent of 1,500 bales daily, and mainly to our home trade, and
with a large and scattering ftock, and an absence of export de-
mand, the market has presented one uniform appearance of
dullness and excessive indifference on the part of holders, ex-
cept where their orders or immediate necessities prompted ;ales,
which consequently were made at easier prices, to the extent of
one quarter of a cent. The quiescent state of our market
perhaps, not a matter for much surprise when the peculiar
position of the English trade, and the sudden and severe pres-
sure on the money market, on the eve of an apparently bounti-
ful harvest, is considered. The new steamer Guadalquiver-
arrived on Sunday morning, with dates to 14th instant ; the
letters received yesterday by her, as far as yet known, are con-
firmatory of the anticipation of parties here, and our market
since has exhibited no change in tone.
The accounts that now reach us respecting the appearance of
the growing crops are conflicting. From a careful analysis of
them, I am persuaded that it is in a very precarious condition,.and that its appearance now is decidedly adverse to a good
yield. From some sections we hear that it promises well, white
in others they have totally abandoned all hope of snaking even.
half a crop. The plant generally looks well. It was pushed
forward to an unhealthy degree by the rains in July, but it is-
large, long-jointed, and sappy ; the forms and squares are fall-
ingfrom the stalks, and it is not in a productive condition..
Thus far we have no positive evidence of the appearance of the-
caterpillar, or army worm (the noctua gusypii), whose ravages
usually commence the latter part of this month, and continue
through the early part of September, but we have undoubted
intelligence of the presence of the bore or bollworm, a worm
that perforates the boll,. destroying it entirely. These worms
are now at work in the richest cotton lands, in South Alabama .
in the Canebrake, on Red River, La, and on the bottom lanais
of South Mississippi, and have also appeared near.Colusabusa
and Enfala, Georgia.
Although not leaving such marks of devastation in the leaf-
less stalks and stripped branches as manifests the advent of thc,
army-worm, this enemy does his work quite as effectually, anti
frequently proves more disastrous. The one takes the cotton
by a hold assault, the other adopts mining and other appliances_
of the siege. Such is the shortness of time now for the matu-
rity of the crop, that all the causes which favourably effect it
must co-operate in an eminent degree in order to insure an,
average yield. The early planting on light sandy soil this year
looks better than that planted at the ordinary season, and ova
such sufficient bolls have matured to enable planters to hasten:
forward a few bales to port, for the credit they gain in the
neighbourhood, of having made the first bale of the season_
In fact, the plant on rich soils, is full three weeks behind its
appearance last season, and we are dependent on the late plant-
ing and undergrowth for the crop, as what is termed the top
crop, does not Yield enough now for an ordinary picking force_
Freights continue dull. Exchange has been latterly in goad
request, and there is a fair demand.
The receipts of Flour are so light, that the market is rather
firmer than it was previous to the Guadalquiver's arrival.
Genesee is held at 5.75 dols. to 5.81.-I dots. ; and Ohio, Michigan.
and Oswego at 5.621 dole. to 5.75 dols.
There is but little doing in Southern. It is held at 6 dole. to
6.50 dots. _ _ _

Saes of flat yellow Corn are made at 75 to 76 cents, and mixed
at 73 to 74 cents.

BALTIaSORE, Aug. 30.—The news by the steamer Gun-
dalquiver has unsettled the market for bread-stuffs, and
caused a decline in prices. Not much done in flow--
Holders of Howard-street brands were contending for
45,62, but towards the middle of the day sales of about
400 barrels new brands were made at =85,50, more than
which cannot now be obtained. This is a decline of.
121 to 181 cents per barrel since Saturday. City millers
are holding at 45,75 ; no sales. Nothing done in CecTL,

of sto 7 cents per bushel since Saturday. Several per-

PHILADELPHIA, AUGUST 30.—Since our last rept
was written, we have received ten days later advices frnerr:
Europe, noticing a further decline in breadstuffs. This
news has added to the preceding dullness in our market,
and the transactions have been to a very limited extent.
The flour market is at a stand. Holders generally ask
former rates, and are rather more anxious to realize, but
no sales have been reported. In rye flour no sales
laTe
transpired. Corn meal.—A few hundred brls. Pennsyl-.
vania were sold at 43, I2f per bbl., which is a slight de-
dine. Grain-500 bushels prime new Southern red
wheat sold from store at 41.25.

GROVES' ILLUSTRATIONS OF TUE HOLY LAND.—This
exhibition, which we noticed in terms of approbation last
week, increases in attraction, and is meeting with great
patronage. The skill and ingenuity of the artists, as 6.4-
played in these beautiful animated representations, have
nightly drawn forth the unqualified approbation of numer-
ous and respectable companies. The exhibition certainly-
is of the most interesting, harmless, and excitinc, charac-
ter, and deserves to be liberally patronized by the public-
TIIE WELLINGTON SURTOUT.-11 the name of Wel-
lington has been celebrated heretofore, it is now likely to
become more so, from the fact of it being applied to
new registered overcoat, invented by Mr. James Fougi:xe,
of 6, Conduit-street, and 11, Poultry, which has been ex-
tensively patronized by his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and m any other members
of the royal family and nobility, as well as by thefrtoon:etet
in
himself, whose name it hears. It is also coming
ral use among the officers of the Guards, and the gentry us
general. To our sporting readers at the present time R: is
especially to be recommended, from its repellant as wei
is
as dust-defying qualities. It cut without seams on the
shoulders, and tits equally well as an overcoat or frock, and
is made of an elastic cloth. Although impervious to -Net
it is perfectly porous to perspiration, and, altogether, it its
got up in a style quite worthy the name it bears, and wet
fully expect to see it become general amongst the sports:-
men of England, and more especially among those whose
pursuits lead them to brave all weathers. Being kept is
all colours, and made up at a very moderate figure, it is.
calculated to please all classes. We ought to mantilla,
that it is made of a peculiar cloth, manufactured expres4
