CALIFORNIA.

The steam-ship Uncle Sam arrived at New York on the 15th
from Aspinwall and Kingston, with dates from California to
the 16th ult. The news is two weeks later. It conveys more
pleasing intelligence from the mines. The roads were again in
passable order, and work had recommenced at the mines. The
Uncle Sam has 310,000 dollars in gold.
The rainy season having closed, the travelling on the Isth-
mus was remarkably good. The weather may be said to have
fairly settled down into the spring season, and business of
every character has been steadily improving. The roads from
the trading points, at the head of the various streams, to the
mining districts, are now in a travelling condition, and large
quantities of provisions and necessaries of life find their way
to the remotest canon. Prices of provisions have in conse-
quence fallen at these points from 50 to 75 per cent.
The San Francisco Herald has a list of specie shipments, by
the steamers of the Ist and 16th, total $5,320,593. The amount
exported during the month of January was $4,576,013; total
for the first two months of 1853, $9,896,606.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 15.

AIONEY.—There is still an active demand for money, but the
supply is more free. On call 7 per cent. is freely paid, and on
paper 7 to 10 per cent. generally,if first class, 8 to 9 percent., but
the severe rates of last week are not demanded. The main
difference between the market this week and early last week,
appears to be that confidence is restored, and parties who last
week had money, but were too panic-stricken to be willing to
lend it, are now making loans freely on good securities.
Exchange is steady, but not active. The range of Sterling
is Bto 9i, the latter for Bankers' bills. There is a good supply
on the market.

COTTON.—There has been more inquiry this morning, but
we do not hear of any sales of importance.

(From W. P. Wright's Circular of March 15.)

The day after the departure of the last mail hence for Liver-
pool, our market assumed a quiet tone, and the business since
has been on a limited scale, with a slight yielding in price on
the Middling and lower qualities; to conform therewith the
quotations annexed are altered. The total sales since Sth
instant, have been 5,000 bales, of which the bulk has been
taken for shipment to France and the continent. Very little
demand exists for Liverpool or for domestic consumption.
The clearances in the same time have been—to Havre, 694
bales; to Hamburg, 255; Lisbon, 50; Glasgow, 49; Bremen,
37. Total, 1,065 bales.

The Southern markets have been maintained, with a large
business in New Orleans and Mobile, and a moderate one in
Charleston and Savannah.

By telegraph the following has been received :
MOBILE, MARCH 11.

Receipts for the week, 12,C00 bales. Middling 9c.; quiet
market. Freight to Liverpool, id. Exchange on London, 8
per cent.

The dispatch from New Orleans was not received up to 6
p.m. last evening. I hear the receipts for the week are stated
at 40,000 bales.

Receipts at the Ports for the week have amounted to 105,000
bales, which completes the eighteenth consecutive week of
over 100,000; the average being 117,500 per week.-The excess
is 521,000 bales; next week a reduction will occur, as the re-
ceipts at Mobile are light, and we shall have to compare with a
total during the corresponding week last year of 120,000 bales.
At Savannah and Charleston the receipts have been light,
owing to local speculation in the interior towns. The stock on
hand, it will be noticed, is very large, amounting to 795,000
bales, included in which, however, is the 18,000 or 20,000,
lately destroyed by fire in New Orleans. Freights have de-
clined to id. per lb. in Mobile.
The following is a statement of the movement in cotton since
the Ist of September last, as compared with the previous three
sears:- 1853 1852 1851 1850

France, 78,000. Total increase in exports 236,000 bales.
