The weather is clear and delightfully."- pleasant
our streets arc consequently ,hronged with fashion
and beauty.
The northern papers contain some contradictory
statements as 10 the health Of the newly elected
governor of New York, Mr.. Young. The Albany
Evening Journal contains denial Of rumor to the
sfiec, that Mr.. Young was dangerously Nh but the
Rochester Daily ADVERTISER Of Wednesday, con.
tans the following positive assertion TO his health
"We learn from two gentlemen who came from
near Genesee yesterday, that Mr. Young wal un-
derstood to be much worse and 10 be eoD6nd 10 his
room. We hope IL may prove mistake. Az all
events Mr.. Young's health 10 IN very preca-
rious state; and we learn from one of his consulting
physicians, that, in his opinion, Mr.. Y.'s Lungs are
too much diseased TO render recovery at allproba'
ble."
Should this prove true il would cause much sti,
amoog the political qudnunes Of the Empire State
as il il universally conceded that Addison Gardiner
the democratic candidate for lieutenant governor ID
elected by over 1900 majority. ra.. .a+1
The Philadelphia Inquirer publishes the following
extract Of letter from officer Of the Gulf squad
ron, dated Oct 8, which is also important true:
at is the intention of Com, Conner to attack the
fortihcations at the mouth OF the Alyarado river
about Is miles from our Rsessn. anchorage, in Tho
the boats, officers, and men, are all selected, and
ready at moment's warning. The fort mounts "a
pieces of from 10 10 24.pounders. The water is sc
shoal in the neigh borhood tnsi we cannot get within
attacking distance with our large vessels, and hence
we are compelled To have reconsc 10 boats. Warn
work may DO expected,n w# ~
No commercial tidings have been received by
telegraph to-day, fea either New York or Phiu-
delphia. x a...E. .
Al New York, yesterday, cotton advanced 1 a
cent per b., with sales Of 1000 bales. Flour was
inactive, the weather being extremely uofayorable
for outdoor movements. Genesee held at So,
1000 barrels Ohio sold at that price; common south
ern kinds are held at Sea So l2I, nom; corn meal
"a so. There was plenty Of wheat in market, bu'
no buyers at asking rates, say 100 cents for
Genesee. Corn was dull; 10000 bushels mixed
western sold at 80 cents. The foreign orders for
-four mostly limited &c. and less; therefore there
is not much probability of large sales, particularly
as freight to Liverpool has advanced to As. Pot
ashes are looking up; SO barrels sold at IS. No
change in provisions, and but little doing. Tallow
wanted at 8. 81 cents.
At Philadelphia, yesterday, the news by the
Britannia had put up the prices Of every species Of
broadsufs, and the probable continued demand for
foreign account seems to have completely unsettled
the market; buyers and sellers could get together on
scarcely single article. Flour was held at S.
but buyers were unwilling to give more than s..
There was a sale Of thousand barrels on Saturday
night at $50. For corn meal and rye -four we can
obtain no quotations We hear of no sales Of
wheat; the price up, but we have no figure Corn
is also unsettled, but would probably command
rs cents for prime old; rye nothing said. Oats
80 cents. Whiskey, "a cents per gallon.
In the Baltimore market, to-day, there was a sale
Of 800 bbls. Howard street four at IS 62i, and Of
fers at the same price made for more, but refused
IS rs being generally contended for. II is believed
that the decline in exchanges, and advance in reghts
will cause prices to settle at about S. so. The in
quiry for grain is less active Sales Of small lots o.
prime red wheat were made, to-day, at ll2 to IL
cts. There is very little corn in market-od yellow
is held at 70 to 70 cents new white and yellow
nominal at So to 60 cents oats, % to 30 cents; rye
81 cents. The prices of whskey have slightly ad
vanced. 1t is quoted at 22I 24i cents per gallon
