any rate c

poses it is useless, while it is positively injurious in cases
like the present. It may be satisfactory to state, that
since the last published account was- made up there have
been several large arrivals of specie. Among them are the
Oriental, from Sydney, with 1131 ounces of gold, valued
at about £4,500; the Essex, from Port Philip, with
52,000 ounces, valued at £205,000; and the Typhoon,
from the same place, with 37,700 ounces, or about
£150,000. The above arrivals, together with those pre-
five (lava. making a total

of £955,000.

From Manchester,

reports are of a general stagnc

fluenced chiefly by the difficulties in the money market,
and by no means relieved by the unsettled state of the
operatives, thousands of whom are out on strike

to create any uneasiness for the future ; and as the latest
accounts report the resumption of negotiations by the

allied powers for the preservation of pe:

activity is confidently anticipated.

Our SnAnE MARKET closes the week to-day very tame
and quiet after the late excitement. On Wednesday prices
took a start, from large orders having been received to
buy, on London account, which was scarcely checked by
the bank's raising the rates on Thursday ; in fact, since
that day prices have again reached the highest point of
the week. This has arisen from the great scarcity of
stock, and the preponderance of real buyers over real
sellers. We are told that there
the bears had so large an account open as at present ;
may therefore look for all sorts of alarming political
rumours, circulated in the endeavour of these gentry to
lower prices to enable them to get in their stock before
the next account day. Londons, which receded to 98,
are 104. Leeds, Midland, and others have advanced in
about the same proportion. Our Local Stocks are very
steady, and in all the changes have fluctuated very little.
Consols fluctuated during September between 904 and
974 ; London and North-Western ranged from 98 to 1101 ;
Brighton, 92 to 1011; Great Northern., 681 to 82 ; Great
Western, 771 to 864 ; York and North Midland, 204 to
284, wfth others in about the same proportion. Latest

COTTON.—The market during the week has been.more
than ordinarily dull, and prices in consequence were lower
to the extent of -Ad on Brazil and Egyptian, and,id;to
on American and. Surat. This dulness was owing. in a
great measure to, the inaction of the manufacturers; and
the unsettled state of the money market. To-Dmr the
accounts by the Asia were received, and the reports•of the
new crops being mare unfavourable than the• preceding
ones, the business done was of greater extent than for
some time past. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, of
which 2,000 were taken on speculation and for export, at
firmer rates..
