UNITED STATES

NEW YORK MONEY 'MARKET, OCT. 25.
There was rather a large amount of state securities sold at
the Stock Exchange to-day, and at an advanced price. The
principal sales of other descriptions of stock were Delaware
and Hudson United States Bank, and Harlem, which im-
proved considerably upon the sales of yesterday. The recent
accounts from Europe do not seem to influence stock tran-
sactions generally, to any extent, though it is the prevailing
opinion that monetary affairs have now reached the very
lowest point, and any change from which must be of a fa-
vourable character. It is rumoured in Wall-street that ar-
rangements have been made by Mr. Jaudon for the payment
of the interest on the hypothecated bonds, held in England
and on the continent, which may hare been in some degree
the cause of the slight advance in prices upon the sales of to-
day.

There have been no sales of cotton worth reporting, but
hollers still continue firm. At present there is no variation
in prices to be noticed.

There is 't fair demand for flour—yesterday more activity
was to be observed, and appearances seem to indicate a❑ ad-
vance in prices gene; ally, We make our quotations of Bran-
dy-wine 6,25 to 6,37/- dollars ; Georgetown 6 dollars ; Ge-
nesee 6 dollars; Ohio 6 dollars ; Michigan 5,874 to 6 dollars;
1200 bushels Virgiania wheat sold for 121 c. A cargo of Jer-
sey corn brought 70c. measure ; Southern corn is selling at
65c. 4500 bushels oats sold at 49 to 494 c. Small parcels
barley sold at 59 to 60c., according to quality.
Ashes—About 100 barrels pots sold for 6,374 dollars, and
we learn that small sales were made at 6,25 dollars. Pearls
are held at 6 dollars.

Since the above was in type we are put in possession of
American paper of several days later date.
The British and North American royal mail steamer the
Columbia, Captain Judkins, which left Boston on the
afternoon of the Ist, and Halifax on the afternoon of the 4th
instant, arrived in the Mersey at eleven o'clock yestsrday
morning. She encountered strong head winds during the
passage, but has completed the whole in 13 days and 20
hours. The passage from Halifax has beee made under 11
days. She has brought 43 passengers.
The papers from New York are to the 30th ult. six days
later than those mentioned as brought by the Garrick.
Boston Journals to the Ist, and Halifax to the 4th instant
have also been received. The intelligence brought by the
Columbia is unimportant.
It will be seen from the abstract of the log published
elsewhere that the Columbia met the Britannia entering
Halifax on the evening of the 4th inst.
The popular results of the elections are most curious and
interesting, says the Herald. In fifteen states the whigs
have lost about 150,000 votes—the democrats about 50,000
—giving a gain to the latter of 100,000. From this it is
argued that the policy of Captai❑ Tyler is approved, and that
this vast majority is in favour of giving the present adminis-
tration a fair chance of shewing its fruits. Much speculation
is indulged in by the papers as to the relations subsisting
between Mr. Tyler and several members of the administra-
tion, but the Herald maintains in spite of much misrepre-
sentation to the contrary, that the utmost harmony subsists
between every member.
M`Leod had been entertained at a public dinner by the
citizens of Montreal. He made a long speech on his health
being drunk. He denied, most positively, the charge against
him, that he had boasted of his having participated in the
Caroline affair.
Sir Richard Jackson, Governor-General of Canada, in a
letter to the Governor of Vermont, had declared that, if, on
investigation, officers or soldiers in her Majesty's service
had been implicated in the seizure of Grogan, he should not
fail to visit the offence with the utmost rigour.
The new revolution in Mexico was proceeding vigorousely.
The following is a brief notica of the state of the affairs in
the republic :
" Havana papers, received at New Orleans, contain
advices from the city of Mexico to 2nd of September, at
at which time insurrection was in full progress. Gen. Va-
lencia made a grito on the 31st August, for the constitution
of 1824, being at the head of a considerable military force.
The alarm quickly spread and a number of edifices com-
manding the citadel were occupied by the insurgents.
" Bustamente and his party fortified themselves in the
palace, but up to the 2cl of September no attempt to dislodge
the insurgents had been made, Valencia contenting himself
with holding his position until the arrival of Santa Ana, and
Bustamente not daring to attack him. The students at the
military academy had joined Valencia. His force was more
than 1,600 men, with 18 pieces of cannon ; that of Busta-
mente, about 1,600."
The popish party its New York, headed by Bishop Hughes
and the priests, had commenced a fierce movement on the
school question, and in opposition to the present system
which appears open to all. But this is not the half of the
story. The opportunity was seized upon by Hughes and his
compeers for the purpose of displaying the most outrageous
and ferocious feelings. A list of candidates was read at the
meeting, and every individual present pledged to support
them.

Lord Morpeth left Boston for Niagara Falls on the 26th
ult., having dined on the preceding clay at the mansion of
tha Hon. H. Grey Olis, with a large party, consisting of
John Quincy Adams, Judge Story, Professor Picknor, and
other literati. His lordship purposes visiting Washington in
the course of the winter, to watch the workings of the
Yankee political machinery.
The Express gives a strange but plausible confession on
the part of the man Colt, of the particulars connected with
the murder of Mr. Adams, the printer. It is more ingsnious
than probable.
The current rate for bills on England was 109 i to 119 k
per cent. premium, at which, and intermediate rates, a rather
better business than usual had been transacted for the
Columbia. Ou Paris the rate was sf. 20 to 25f. 184 ; and a
fair. though not large, business had been done.
The New York American, of the evening of the 30th ult.,
gives the following account of the crops, the money and stock
markets, &c.

" The returns from the agricultural parts of our country
show great abundance, and we annex a table of prices of
wheat and flour at various points, showing a reduction in
prices from our last dates.
" The cotton crop is also coming in pretty rapidly, and,
although low prices may be looked for in all descriptions of
produce, and were it not for our financial difficulties, we
should say that the tide of commercial prosperity was again
flowing over our land.
" Money continues sufficiently abundant for all purposes,
and, notwithstandjng the large export of specie, our Banks
still hold about 6,000,000 dollars; and if the Southern Banks
resume, which, we trust, will he the case this winter, this
amount must increase rather than diminish, as now New
York and Boston have to supply all demands.
" The rate of Exchange on London continues at 91 to 10
per cent., and some few sales at 1() per cent. ; but few
Southern bills have yet made their appearance in the market,
and the demand has rather exceeded the supply.
" Domestic exchanges on the discount points have rather
improved, while the rates of discount on Philadelphia and
Baltimore have rather increased. The disinclination of the
banks in the former city, now that they are rid of the incubus
of the United States Bank, is believed to proceed from
conscious inability, and the probability is, that the people of
Pennsylvania will have to suffer from their want of moral
firmness in not following the example of New York.
" The advantages of a specie currency are now felt in
Charleston, which is taking a large amount of trade which
formerly went to Savannah. And if New Orleans would only
set the example, which they can easily do, their specie being
as one to four of their circulation and deposits, we are satis-
fied that, in three months' time, the currency of the south
and west would be as sound as that of this city."
The Commercial Advertiser, of the same date, says :
" The stock market, generally, is without animation, one
or two descriptions excepted, in which the transactions have
been large. The general tendency is downward, and it is
very difficult to excite a speculation in the street. State
stocks have also fallen off in the belief expressed by many,
that the States will be unable to meet the payment of the
January interest. The non-resumption at the west and
south is operating unfavourably upon the branches of busi-
ness, and will continue so to do until the doctrine of legalizing
suspensions is totally exploded."
COTTON TRADE.

(FROM THE NEW YORK HERALD, .or THE 30rn.)
This market has remained steady in prices since our last,
with moderate transactions, both for shipment and home
use. The quantity taken for the latter purpose continues
yearly to increase, and was, for the year ending October 1,
1841, 297,288 bales, not including the cotton manufactured
in Virginia and south of it. The quantity taken at Boston,
by the manufactures, is rapidly increasing, as follows :

IMPORTS OF COTTON AT BOSTON
1841 144,582 1837
1840 117,594 1836..
1839 104,268 1835.
1838. 96,636
The question of the crop is now the absorbing one as usual,
at this season of the year, but we think it attracts less of
interest this year, from the fact, that the manner of doing
business is about to undergo a change. The speculative bank
paper system is exploded, and without it there are but few
who have sufficient capital to enter the market to an extent
sufficient to influence prices in advance. Large or small, the
prices must be regulated more by the supply, as it actually
meets the effective demand from the manufacturers. There
will be less buyers to hold for a rise, consequently, what is
to be the extent of the crop becomes less a matter of interest.
The accounts from the south thus far, however, agree very
generally, that the weather, which had been favourable, had
lately become less so, and the yield of the crop was, there-
fore, less promising, but that the crop will much exceed that
of last year, and reach, probably, 1,900,000 bales ; on some
sections, however, the quality may be in some degree injured.
The transactions at the different ports have been as follows :

82,648
82,885
80,709

STOCKS, SALES, PRICES, AND REMARKS, AT THE DIFFE

The packet-ship Garrick arrived here on Saturday unk,i-n-
-ing, shortly before eleven o'clock, after an excellent passage
of nineteen days. She passed Holyhead on Frid4y after-
noon at three. The stormy state of the weather prevented
her arrival last night, and some little apprehension was felt
for her safety. She has, however, weathered the storm
bravely, and arrived in excellent trim. She brings papers to
the '2sth ult.

The Hon. John Forsyth, Secretary of State
Buren's administration, died of congestive fever „• .
ton, after an illness of three weeks. He was a man of
siderable talent, had filled various high offices, and was
deeply regretted by all parties.
The Montreal Courier, of the ISth ult., states that l'kl`Leod
arrived there in the Princess Victoria steamer, and a cor-
respondent of the Troy Daily Whig writes. that the sheriff
of Oneida County and two officers of the U. S. army, es-
corted and safely landed him at St.. John's, &c. The story
told in the Boston papers of M'Leod's sailing in the last
Cunard steamer, under the name of Browne, is therefore
a hoax.

The Prince de Joinville was about visiting Boston, where
great preparations were being made to receive him.
The mortality at New Orleans continued to increase.
During the week ending October 11th, the number of deaths
amounted to 118, out of which number 115 had been carried
off by yellow fever. The yellow fever is stated to be more
violent that it had been for several preceding years.
The steam packet Columbia, Captain Judkins, reached
Boston between seven and eight o'clock on the 21st ult. She
had a most unusally rough passage, and head winds nearly
all the way, with very heavy gales. She made the passage
in 15 days 16 hours, thus proving these Boston steamers to
be capital sea boats. She took out 117 passengers, among
whom was Lord Morpeth.
