FOREIGN NEWS.
AERiNAL OF THE
STEAM SUIF EEEEGRSEA.
! DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.


Sunday morning, in Is days from Liverpool,
with Sc passengers.
The news, III a commercial point OF view, is
highly important. We make up the following
summary from the New York Herald, received
through the express of Messrs. Adams s Co
last night, via the railroad, Conductor Young)
in advance of the mail.
The arrival of the steamer Caledonia occur
red OH Sunday, the 2Sth uIt., after an excellent
voyage OF eleven days and half, including her
stay at Halifax. Ship Stephen Whitney, ar
rived on the 30lh. On the Sd inst, at noon,
the Massachusetts, with auxiliary screw pro-
peller, arrived; and late on the 4th, they Ie
ceved, by the Great Western, papers to the
18th ut.
Washington Irving had not arrived at Paris
ON the 30th Sept
O'Connel has emerged from his mountain
home, and is again on the wing. He has been
lecturing Monster Demonstration at Cashcl,
and his appearance at the Repeal Association
has given new impetus to the rent
The Corn market continues firm: and the
fine weather which prevailed last week at the
sailing OF the steamer, having been followed by
repeated and heavy falls of ram, the market, in
the early part of the present week, acquired
additional frmness, and continues 50, with
slight drawback, at the present time. Large
quantities of Flour are daily arriving from the
United States and Canada and from the nature
of the adVlces recently sent across :hc Attain
tic, the supply from those quarters, there is
every reason to believe, will increase. From
the cause, at which we glanced IN our last pub
lication, the import rate ON Wheat has advanc
cd to lSs-the result of the inferior qualities
thrown on the market.
The import duty OH flour is now los. l0d. /.
per barrel. In some instances, recently, Irish
flour has recedcd Is. per sack, and Canadian Cd
per barrel, influenced by the large arrivals from
the West, which amount, since Monday, to !
nearly 5000 barrels.
The Cotton market, which was dull this day
week, at the sailing of the Great Britain, still /
continues in an inactive state. The quotations
on most descri ptions except Sea Islands, have
reccded l-Sd per TO-, and at the time of writing,
the market is heavy, with downward tendcn- |
cy. The absorbing feeling IN railway shares
may have partially contributed TO this, and the
rising price of provisions, with the approach Of
wlnt er, is also to be taken INTO account The /
Committee of Brokers have declared the price |
for the present week to be-Bowed, 4 Led; Mo- .
bile, SD: and Orleans, sd.
The produce markets are not so active as
they have been, Rice is less in demand. Su- .
gar has receded little, with less enquiry, while .
the price ofioreign coffee has improved SHADE. .
The rate of interest in England is rising, in
consequence Of the scarcity OF money supe5n-
duced by railway speculation. Some of the /
large discount houses decline to take any more
bills at an interest Of less than three per cent
English stocks, which had rccedcd about l-4
per cent. recovered yesterday their former pri-
ccs, and consols closed at 9S is for money, and
IS II for account, EycheQuer bills stand at
i5s. to AS. prem.
As the settlement in the share market has
passed over tolerably well, speculation has Ia .
ken a new bound, and the new announcements .
are graspcd at with amazing avdlty. There
has been little doing in the colonial lines, the
rage being confined to the new projects in the
British islands.
The accounts received from the manulactur-
ing districts, since the SAILING of the Great Bri-
tam, arc Of satisfactory nature, In the great
woollen marts of Leeds and ltuddesfield the
stock &C cloths on hand is somewhat small;
manufacturers were busly employed, especial /
ly in getting out goods for the winter season. |
Prices seem likely to advance. The flannel /
market at Rochdale is in thriving condition, !
as is also that Of Halifax, where the demand is !
good, and sales rather easily effected. For the |,
Orleans, Merinos and Coburgs, manufactured
at Bradford, there is a ready sale, at remunerat
ing prices.
The Harvest. The reports which have reach |
ed us since our last, respecting the progress
made with the harvest in the north, are not of
a character to allay the excitement previously
felt on the subject. The heavy rain which fell
up to the 2lst inst. was succeeded by dry, but
unusually cold weather. Sharp fIosts were
experienced OH the nights Of the 22d and 25d
inst, and though the temperature has since ri
sen the shift of wind to the southwark threa
tens returl of wet The interval of dry wea-
ther has hitherto been of too short duration to
admit Of much corn being carried, pad the eX.
treme cold has prevented that not before ripe
making much progress towards maturity 1t
is, therefore, ieared-and not without reason
that the more backward parts of the kingdom
may fare even worse than the south; and as
the reports of the yield from the forward dis
tricts do not by any means improve as thrash
ing is proceeded with, the estimates of the re-
suits of the harvest become daily more dscou-
raging. These considerations have had their
effect on the minds of sellers as well as buyers |
and, with a greater inclination to purchase,
| less disposition has been manifested to SELL |
| The upward movement has, consequently, con- |
tinued, and at some of the principal markets
materially enhanced terms have been paid for
! Wheat.
BY our Scotch advices, we learn that harvest
operations, which had been interrupted by the
heavy rain that fell between the 10th and 22d,
had again been actively resumed; 1t will, ne
vertheIess, require SEINE weeks of dry weather
to get in what is Istil abroad. The lively re-
ports from the south had caused sellers of
wheat to demand materially enhanced terms.
