Steamboat Depot. Between eight and nIne
O'clock The Mail Bag was not brought
to the office before eleven O'Clock, and the
distribution of papers commenced at 'ha'
time.
The news is not important, and has sad
ly disappointed the newspaper readers
fond oi the marvellous, thousands OF whom
have ,hrouged the Post Office, and PRINT

ties and Credit. The Liverpool was 10

important than that received by the
Queen.
The local miscellaneous news in Eng
! land. and throughout Great Britain, is OF
no interest. There was an increased de-
mand for Cotton, and the prices had ad-
vanced from larihing to a haf-penny-
This, of course is good news, for the cot
ton growers. A day however, may work
a change for the worse in prices: and the
news as gather it, gives promise OF no
permanent Increase OF price, the supply
being more than the general demand, and
the manufacturing Districts being in a
worse condition than | have before known
them. Many were out Of employ, and
many working but a few hours during the
day, to save themselves from starvation,
and many conserving to work for any price
to obtain the means of support. There
were two stories of the condition of the
money market, when the Queen en,-the
more correct of which, seems to be that
money was obtained at easier rates, thai
rates of interest have been seven per cent.
and are six per cent. This you know, is
enormous for England, where money is
abundant
The Harvest presents sort OF so so'sh
condition not good by any means, nor $"
bad as was expected. American Flour was
selling at AZ 43 shilings per barrel when
the Queen left. Grain was arriving il
large quantities, and American Flnnr by
almost every vessel from the United States

the canal, in consequence Of the severe
cold weather we have had here within d
few days past There were many thou
sand barrels on the way to Albany and
New York, and much of it intended iol
shipping to England. Unless we have mil
der weather, (lt promises to be so as
write, )the shipments of course will be pre-
vented, and our supply will be short.
