linent, will have happy effect on tho
value of tho productions Of tho United
States, by the consequence facility of con.
Quoting manufactures in Europe, and the
continued low rates Of interest in the mo-
ney market.
The Liverpool Cotton market, during
the three last weeks prior to the depar,
ture Of the Great Western on the Sth Sen
TENDER, showed much Iess sales than Tho
week closing ! lth August, wherein A.
$40 bales Of all sorts were disposed of.
indeed, in those three weeks the sales
we're far less than is required for the week
y consumption: the week ending 24th
August only 10000, and the week ending
Saturday, LIST September. only 2l.lO0
bales were sold; the particulars of the
last week, ending Saturday, Sth Septem-
Der, could not be ascertained in time to be-
sent from Liverpool to Bristol for the
Great Western, but enough was known by
the list Of sales to Friday evening, the 18th
September, to estimate that the sal es of
the week would not vary1ar from 81 900
bales. The prices for New-Orleans Cot
ton were the same as previous rates, rang
ing from 54d. to Sd. for the bulk, and va
rying below sd. FOR inferior, and above Sd.
for lots Of the finer sorts. II may be no.
ticed, that as thesalos of those three weeks
did not equal the quantity Of the average
weekly estimated consumption, an impro-
we'd demand ought to be the consequence,
especially after the happy event Of good
harvests were fully developed, and by the
increased impulse thereby given to trad.
throughout England.
4 The dry weather experienced with MS
during the two, and in manypaces during
the three past months, has completely nr
rested Steam Boat navigation in most of
the tributary rivers, and has had more or
less of blighting influence on all the pro-
ducts Of the soil Throughout the Mississip-
pi Valley, with the sole exception, perhaps
Of the Sugar Cane. In some portions of
the Grain country, it is believed, there
will be little or no Corn produced over the.
actual wants of the farmers. In the To
bacco districts. the Tobacco Plant has Sc
verely suffered, and in the Cotton region.
there are few planters. who have not rea-
son to complain, that the dry weather has
very materially diminished the quantity
of their crops, though the quality is much
improved in appearance, ifnot in reality.
The provision market continues tolera-
bly, supplied, though at the gre tly advan-
ced prices, and those enormous rates would
still be more augmented, were il not for
the circumstance, that the trade is unin-
terrupted between this city, Missouri and
Western Illinois, and is actively kept up,
by even more than the usual number of
large class Steam Boats.

For the Plauter.

Ii there is aught ON earth capable Of
producing a holy influence upon the hui
man mind, it is in the contemplation Of
the works of the Supreme Being. TO the
lover of nature. there is something SO pc
culiarily interesting and majestic in her
scenery, so grand and sublime in her out.
lines, so beautiful and lovely in her varie.
gated landscape, that the feelings catch
the inspiration as it hovers over her dewy
bosom. When young Spring bursts from
her letters strong, and folds her beautiful
robe over her delicate form, she invites
the heart to partake in the richness of her
feast. Imagination quickens, and every
pulse beats in unison with the sweet har-
mony poured forth by thousand voices Of
melting music. Az she advances, she at
last arrives at the last stage of her exist
ence; when summer is introduced with all
the tender softness Of the youthful lovely
child. She passes from this delicate state
to unfold the charms Of the blushiug rose,
In that of womanhood. The rich harvest
of Autumn, at length, pours in a shower of
of Injuries to crafty every sense and ev-
cry passion. In all the varying changes
of nature, there is beauty, grandeur and
magnifcence! From the first dawn Of
spring, until she is stripped Of her foliage,
and the thousand MINISTRIES of the grove
have fled 20 their wontod retreat-when
her epitaph is written by the finger Of dis
solution, and the mournful requiem Of

As it has become an established Gus
tom that the Commercial year ends on the

cement of the new Commercial year, OBJ
tanned and hand to you, herewith annex
ed, the Statements and Tables of Imports,

B. Young; together with the statements
of Stocks of Cotton and Tobacco on hand.
to yesterday the 9Th inst.
You will discover on examination. that
those statements are worthy of attentive
perusal, and will be found of great valuc
to commercial men, for the purpose ofpla-
cling them on file for future reference.
The receipts of the new crop cotton at
this date, amount to about ten thousand
bales, the principal portion of which is al
ready disposed of at ID to 49, cents -
Some small lots, probably gathered during
UT utter tue ldsl ram, were SOlu AT less
than IL cents, and some small lots very
superior, brought Il cents and upwards.
If the navigation of Red River had not
been interrupted, the arrivals of new cot
ton would be increased. to this time pro-
badly by at least five thousand bales.
The commercial! intelligence furnished
by the arrival of the Great Western, which
left Bristol on Saturday evening, 9Th Sep
TENDER, affords the most lively satislac-
ton, to learn that during the Is to 20
days prior to her departure, the weather
had been remarkably propitious to the
harvesting throughout that nation; and
the fears existing, which we mentioned in
our last of 9th ult., of the scarcity Of
Grain, and Of the many evils attending
such a calamity, had entirely subsidized
The spectators in the Grain market had
