american and English Tars.-l have thousand
times observed one peculiar trait in the character OF
seamen. Whenever English sailors are in an Ame-
rican port, or Yankees in an English place, they
are sure to quarrel but, put the same men IN
French or Spanish seaport, dthey will unite most
firmly against the common enemy. have often
been amused at the promptness and alacrity with
which the English sailors uniformly espoused our
ouarrels on the coast Of South America. Without
stopping to count noses 10 make any tedious and uns
necessary Investigations Of the causes of the row,
we COMMONLY receiv the lnst advlces OF their ar.
rival and cooperation from seeing half dozen Of
the enemy rolling in the gutter, and the rest IN fuil
retreat 1t was enough for them TO see one OF us
put upon by the natives, to induce them to lend Us
! their aid. Another trait more amiable than COM
bativeness, is their unrelecting generosity to each
other Many IA time nave group of English
and American seamen, whose money was expended
befor their liberty was out, dlsencumbering them
selves jackets, shoes, and silk handkerchiefs, to
make raise for the mutual accommodation OF the
party.-llaracr's Sketches.

FLoUR.-During the last week the price Of

day.
Monday morning it commenced al 81 62a,
varying but few cents until after the receipt
of the Northern Mail with advices from Ene>
land, up 10 the lllh Of October, Of a further
advance in the price of bread stuffs, i; immedi-
a,ely advanced to S8 80 Ss Sc. Next day it
continued steady al about 80. Sales we're ef.
fec,ed from stores ,hst day and .hc previous
evening a, 49, "Wednesday it again opened at
80; but no purchasers coming into market, and
the quantity arriving being considerable, hold
ers took the alarm, and the price, late in the
day. fell TO SS so IS IS. Thursday il con-
;inued from IS IS to Ss 40. Friday Ss 40
Ss so, until after the arrival of The Mail with
advices from England by the packe, ship New
York, up to the 18Th Of October, Of reduction
in prices of Grain and Flour, il Immediately fell
TO 81; and continued steady during Saturday
at Z 81 o., with the exception Of few loads
at 81 Is. Small sales were made from store
at 81 so, and tina, price offered for more, hut
refused; holders not being willing to submit to
the reduction, generally demanded So, having
-four on hand at nigh prices and looking for
ward to more favorable accounts by the next
arrival from Europe. Since the excitement, il
has been difficult TO ascertain the store price,
dealers not being disposed 10 make public their
transactions.
Yesterday morning the price opened from
wagons at 81 Os, and gradually advanced 10
81 l6; few loads brought 81 25. After the
arrival Of the mail with adviccs Of further

Flour and Grain MarkefS-The wagon
price Of Howard Street Flour, on Saturday,
was 81; some loads were taken al fraction
higher. Limited sales were made from the
stores al $3.50 per barrel, and several holders
refused TO sell at tina, price. The heavy rains
which prevailed throughout the dav, tended
much TO contract operations.
We were no: able to hear of single lransac,
ton on Saturday, either in Wheat Corn or Rye;
in consequence of the rain. The prices, how
ever, may be quoted as on Friday, viz:-gool
red Wheat at 8 ,4Ga $50; old Corn, at IS cents
and ne W a, so cents; Rye, at 80 65 cents.
