EIGHT DAYS LATER. f

eight days later than our previous advces by the
Cunard steamer We lay the items of principal
interest before the reader.
BUSINESS AND MARKETS.-Therei IS no
change in the prices of cotton, and the market for
the week ending Oct IL, is said to have had
more settled and steady appearance for some time
previous, although there was want of animation,
the supply being abundantly large. The future
prospects of the trade depend upon the quantity of
the American crop; but it is said that there Is sure
to be consumption for the article. Prices are
quoted, Upland, 1-2 to 5 3D.; New Orleans
better qualities, 5-s to l.2; Sea Island, 10 to
16, extra quality "a. Sales for the week amounted
to 20,54O bags, about 5000 of which were low
priced American, taken speculation. The
quantity taken speculation so far, this year, is
4O5, $50 bales Last year for the same period, it
was 39S, ,45O.
In the manufacturing districts fair amount of
business was going forward, but no important
changes were noticeable; and in the large moneta-
ry and commercial circles this week has presented
nothing of moment The funds have been at
high and very firm quotations, and the circum-
stance that commissioners have been in the market
buying in national stock has no doubt added to its
advance IN price.
The last quarter 'srevenue exhibits considerable
advance on the corresponding quarter of ls43.
THE ROYAL VISIT-The King of the
French, who completed his list year on the 9th
of October, embarked at Treport, for England, on
the evening of the 7h. 1t is stated that the
Queen was much affected by the leave taking,
this beng her first separation from her husband
since their marriage. On the following morning
he arrived in England, and was received with
suitable hospitality by the inhabitants of Ports
mouth, squadron of the British national vessels
stretching out to sea, and acting an escort
for the French visitors up to the haIbor. The
meeting of the sovereigns at Windsor, is said to
have been of the most cordial character, and free
from any cold or formal greetings.
The last time Louis Philippe visited England,
was during the hundred days, in 1915, where he
remained, until the victory of Waterloo enabled
him to return to France. In company with the
Queen and Prince Albert, he paid visit to the
house in Twickenham, where he resided during
his exile.
Considerable speculation is INDUCED in, among
the English newspapers, relative to the probable
topics which will engage the party of British and
French politicians at Windsor-but nothing either
definite or likely to interest our readers. Guizot
is of the party, and it is more than suspected that
the popularity of his administration at home will
not be enhanced by this visit,
