The period that has interviewed since the sailing
Of the Caledonia has been somewhat remarkable
in the cotton market. Sales to large extent have
been made amounting to upwards of Isl, 900 bale
or this spectators have taken less than 81 900,
and exporters $500, leaving for consumption
IS, l0l. Prices during the week ending October 8,
were an eighth higher for American and Sorats and
| continued firm until the arrival OF the Cambria on
the l4th; her advces confirming the previous dis
couragng accounts respecting the failure Of the cot
ton crop in the United States, had immediate ef
l feet upon the market The trade on that day was
greatly excited. There was a great deal Of specu-
j ative buying and the market attained further rise
j IN prices which has been maintained ever since, and
at which il closed yesterday with great hrmness,
Meantime the splnners are loud in their complaints
Il they have not obtained any advance in the price Of
yarn and must, therefore, at the present ad yanced
rates, spin cotton to loss. Several mill-owners
have signifed their intention to reduce wnges, OF
work short time. ... ...r.

to indulge in. The family of the croakers very

Several causes have conf ined to make the
money -market less buoyant. Amongst them may
be mentioned the rumor which prevails, that gov.

a defaulter to a large amount having been named on
the stock exchange, has shaken confidence; and
finally the sccession of Santa Anna, who, Is sta
ted will repudate the late arrangement between the
Mexican government and the British bond-holders
has given TO the foreign the feeling Of uneasi-
ness which prevails in the home market. But these
and all other details, will be found duly recorded in

/ The sugar market is inactive; and on some de-
scriptions a reduction has been submitted TO. The
stock has considerably increased, and the abund-
ance, combined with extraneous causes, has pulled

have barely been realized West India has receded
to nearly the extent of 2s. per cwt East India cof-
fee adapted to the home market has also declined.
Indeed, all kinds are purchased with caution.
/ A very important communication has Just been
made public on the subject of the Mexican bonds,
by SeKor Gomez Farias, highly calculated to allay
the fears Of the bond-holders II is, in substance,
that the new government dsapprove of the late con-
version from no party motives or from interest," but
solely from the conviction that the country could not
fulfil the terms which Mr.. Murphy, without any
powers to such effect had contracted. He then pro-
ceeds to publish part of the official despatch,
which he personally delivered to Mr. Murphy on
the 7th inst, and which discharges that gentleman
from his Office The second and third articles are as
follow: ".s ,s.,

THAT due notice be likewise given through the
public journals to the holders of Mexican bonds that
the government Of the republic intends TO propose,
through other agents, a new plan, based upon an
equitable arrangement, and in which the government
will contract no obligation which it cannot fulfil
MIR. Murphy has written to say that he shall, in a
few days, publish justification of his conduct, and
place matters in their true light. 80

The state of Ireland is the principal topic on
which the quidnuncs are now exercising their pens
and their tongues The greatness Of the calamity
which has overtaken that country is to be read in
the efforts which are being made to meet it, The
first consideration is to find employment for the
people, to enable them to buy food; and as the mo-
4 ney is to come out of the public purse, the next
! point is, Tn make the works SO undertaken of a
1 rnoenentIv naeful and reproductiye character.
