The belief entertained at the departure OF the
last steamer, that the upward tendency then indi
Gated in this market would be maintained has by
the terrific occurrences Of the past fortnight been
wholly dispelled, from number of causes, the
most startling of which is the unparalleled derange
ment Of the money market
The price Of Breadstuffs has gradually but stead
lily retrogaded the only article which has pre-
served its firmness being Indian Corn. A sackened
demand has Of materially contributed to this
result, but this cause must be regarded as merely
temporary.
At the London Corn Exchange, yesterday, the
arrivals of English Grain were small, owing to
which and the unusually large attendance Of pur
chasers, the demand was somewhat active at an
advance of from TO shings per quarter upon
the previous Mondays quotations. Notwithstand
ing the large supplies again brought forward, an
average amount Of business was done, and the
market closed firmly.

The prices for Cotton since our last advIces have,
it will be observed, seriously receded, circum
stance indisputably resulting from the aggravated
condition of the Money market, the consequent im-
possibility save in the rarest instances of obtain
ing accommodation.
The univ ersal panic which has seized upon manu-
factures and the total extinction Of everything like
speculative effort on the lower qualities, partcu-
larly the decline is more severely felt, and ope-
ratons since the arrival of the Caledonia have
been of the most limited character
The sales for the week ending the st inst Were
about 81, 900 bales of which 500 only were on
speculation, and 900 for export. On Saturday the
I'd inst the sales were about 5000, and yesterday
1000 were disposed Of all to consumers, speculs
ton being entirely suspended, and the demand
being disproportioned to the supply.

Commercial and Financial.
The fearful condition OF mercantile and monetary
affairs recorded in our last summary ana then
rspidlv eliminating to point OF distress and de-
rancement rarely reached BY the organs oil com
msrcisl vision. has within the last fortnight become
vsibly developed in all its disastrous reality one
after another has failure follow ed upon failure each
one vibrating through every avenue Of trade and
involving ia its gloomy consequences those VINO
bat for their unfortunate connection with the de-
fauter, could have witbstood the shock OF the com
mercial storm.
OF the numerous causes to which this dreary
state Of things is Assisnable the most palpabe ap
pears to be the misrcgulation OF the money power
"a system originating with the Bank OF England,
and eagerly initiated by oil other money.lenders
whereby gold has become too dear to buy, and &C
commodation phantom The reflex OF system
90 fatal to the prosperity Of trade has been deeply
felt alike by the merchant and manufacturer, and
the stsestations Of its consequences can be found
in narrowing abundance in the crippled counting
house and the DIES ertcd factory.
