New YoRK, December IL, Ie45.
The Massachusetts, steamship propeller, sailed
to-day with full amount Of freight, but with few
passengers.
There is a bare possibility of her reaching Liver.
pool before the Cambria, which sails from Boston
next Monday.
The probability is that the latter vessel will reach
England first.
We shall not hear of the effect of the Presidents
message in England ill probably about the middle
of next MONTH The steamer 10 leave Liverpool on
the 4th of January, will likely bring us news OH
that head.
The market, to-day, was measuraby inactive for
all kinds Of American produce.
So 25 was the highest offer made for common
Genesee flour, at which moderate sales were made.
The same price was offered for 10000 barrels, but
declined by the seller
At reduction Of from l2l to 25 cents per barrel,
the sales for shipment would be large; but holders
seem disincned to submit to the terms of buyers,
till advices by the steamer, due in all of next week,
are received.
From 400 to 500 bales Of cotton sold to-day at the
same rates, and without change in prices.
Considerable quantities have arrived within day
or two from southern ports. Dealers in this article,
also, begin to look for later advices per steamer.
500 barrels Of prime beef sold to-day at S.
37t. Some one or two hundred barrels ofpork sold
at $40, for prime, and Sl3 rs for mess. Agood ar
tcle of mess would sell at - S7t a IA. A lot of
prime new northern lard sold at 81 cents cash.

doing.
The stock market again rallied to-day, and mod
crate advance took place in most descriptions. Gov
eminent 6's, however, were some lower
Freights remain as quoted yesterday, IS. Sd. per
barrel on -four. On cotton they stand at SIG,
nominal, to Liverpool.
Capt. Ludlow Of the barquc Oscar who, last sum-
mer, shot a seaman on his vessel by the name of
Curtls arrived vpsterdau in tha hare
from Rio, being sent home under the arrest of the
American consul at that port. He was given in
charge Of the marshal.
BY the French papers statement of this morning.
it appears that, by the declaration of the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs before the deputies in Brazil that
the Intervention of France in the affairs of the river
Plate was invoked by the Brazilian government
to which the cooperation of England was united
and had met the appreciation Of the Brazilian au-
thoritics also.
The ground of invocation on the part of Brazil,
was alleged to be account of her alarm at being
surrounded by progressive republics
Brazil once had Paraguay, or Banda Oriental, but
was not able to keep possession Paraguay revolt
ed and became an independent republic.
To avoid giving offence, she has remained, APP
parently. an Indifferent spectator to proceedings in
the Rio Plate.
The above is most singular disclosure on the
part of Brazil.
The weather continues fine, clear, and cold.
The Baptist Board of Foreign Missions have sue.
ceeded in collecting sufficient funds for paying off
their debt of $4,000, much of which is due in Jam
uary.
Only one train of cars now run from Albany to
Buffalo daily.
Clcared-ship Catawba, for London, Cook &
Smith.
Several coasng packets have arrived from south
ports; but nothing of consequence from foreign
ports to-day. Wind from the north.
Yours, very truly,
MORGAN.
