NEW YORK CORN TRADE, Sept. 30.—Flour in this
market seems to be settling down to its true value; but
it appears that in other parts of the cluntry prices are un-
settled, owing probably to the want of late advices from
Europe. When, however, the last accounts reach every
market, we shall he able to tell with more accuracy what
the prices for the ensuing season may be.
PROVISIONS.—With the exception of butter, there ap-
pears to be a limited demand for provisions. Prime
country beef fetches 3 dole. a 3 dols. 121 ; Prime Ohio
Pork, 7 dols. 50 a 7 dols. 621. These rates show a de-
cline. Ohio Lard is rather dull at 54 a 6 cents for bar-
rels, and 64 a 64c. for kegs. Oratt,,,,e County butter 13
al5 cents ; Western Dairy 81 all cent. There is a fair
demand at these rates Cheese 41 a 5 cents.

NEW AMERICAN CONSUL FOR LIVERPOOL.—We
understand from Washington, that Mr. Adams, a pri, ate
gentleman from Virginia—an old friend of the President,
has been appointed to the vacant Consulship of Liver-
pool.--N.-te York Herald.
Polities run very high, and both parties are confident
of suc'ess.

A few weeks will settle the question as to the Presi-
dency.

LATEST FROM CANADA. Our last accounts from
Canada are of an unusally interesting kind ; society ap-
pears to be violently agitated, and fraught with symptoms
of another dangerous crisis in the affairs of that country.
The newspapers are teeming with partisan views. violent
abuse of their polit;cal opponents, and the rallying cry of
their respective parties. On the ministerial side, bold
and unhesitating charges of disloyalty, and an ultimate
intention to bring about a separation from the mother
cf‘untry, are made against ttie opposition ' • the latter re-
ply in terms of recrimination not less characterized by
acerbity and determination.
DISSOLUTION OF THE CANADIAN PARLIAMENT.—
The last mail brought us news that the Canadian Parlia-
ment bad been dissolved, and units issued for a new
election.—Habfaz' Post.
The news of O'Connell's liberation was celthrated at
Halifax by bonfires and a procession by his country-
men.

No less than forty square rigged vessels from various
parts of the United Kingdom arrived in this port during
last week, and a peat number are now on their passage
hitherward. We can cheerfully say, " Come on !" the
more the merrier !—St. John Observer.
The Naval General Court Martial, at Washington, was
still engaged with the investigation of the circumstances
connect' d with the burning of the United States steamer
Missouri. A number of witnesses have been examined
during the last few days. ,
By ad. ices from Mexico it appeared that the town of
Matamoras had been destroyed by a hurricane. It oc-
curred on the night of the 4th ult., and was more.tre-
ntendous in its effects than the hurricanes of 1835 and
1837. More than two-thirds of the houses of the city
were more or less injured. As to the extent of the loss
of life we are not accurately informed. The correspon-
dent of El Censor de Vera Cruz estimates the whole loss
at above two hundred souls. • As to the preparations
which Mexico is making for the invasion of Texas, we
can learn very little of a definite nature. That active
operations are going on in enlisting and equipping troops
there is no dc,ubt. But our personal informants and
our correspondents seem to question whether the con-
quest of Texas be the object in view. There would seem
to be one other, and that is plainly indicated in some of
our letters—to make Santa Anna dictator. But this is a
subject on which we shall nut be long left in the dark.—
Boston paper.
EARTHQUAKE AT TRINIDAD.—The schooner Sarah,
at Baltimore from St. Thomas, September 11, brings in-
telligence that on the 30th August, about three o'clock
a.m., the inhabitants of Trinidad were roused from sleep
by the shock of an earthquake, the violence of which far
exceeded thaof Attu other they have ever experienced,
except the one of 1825. Great fears were entertained for
the safety of the town, but no material damage was sus-
tained. The deepest anxiety was manifested on behalf of
the adjacent islands, from neither of which bad any posi-
tive information been obtained up to the time of the
Sarah's leaving, on the 3.1 Sept.
