LATER FROM ENGLAND.


Since our last publication the ships Rochesto
from Liverpool, with dates to the 9Th, and Quebec
J from London, with dates to the sth Dec, have
arrived at New York.
The Cotton market was much excited at Liver
pool, and prices had further advanced, since the
dates received here by the last steamer, about I'D
per ID. on "fair" quality. The sales of the week
at Liverpool ending 18th Dec. amounted to rs 02O
bales, including $4,000 taken by spectators
The market continued much excited on Monday
7th all sorts in demand, and 80 600 bales sold in
GLIDING 10000 American and 5000 Surat on
speculation. There were sold 20, 900 American
at Sd. to I'D, l, 500 Pernalns and Maranham I'd
to 3d., 600 Bahia I'd. to I'D, 500 Egyptian
I'D. to 3D., 1000 Surats, I'D. to sd.
The market at Liverpool, 5th Dec, was almost
bare of Indian Corn and contrary winds had
also kept out other Grain and Flour. The price
of Wheat had in consequence improved I'd. to I'D.

duty paid. On 7th Dec. Indian Corn was in
brisk demand for Ireland, and at rates as high
as fair qualities of Wheat.
The receipts of Grain at London the week
preceding Monday, 7th Dec, had been great, and
previous rates of Wheat hardly sustained.

Repie,c of the British Corn Trade.-We have
now arrived at a period of the year when, under
ordinary circumstances, the trade usually becomes
dull; farmers having to provide for their Christ
mas rents, &c, generally supply the market lib
eray in December, and merchants and miers
are perhaps, less inclined to add to their stocks
about this period than at any other time during
the whole year.
Under these circumstances, it is not improba-
BILE that a tenn porary reaction to a moderate ex-
tent may occur in prices; but we must confess
that we do not much expect anything like re-
ductiop of consequence either in prices OF wheat
or spring corn.
Our principal reason for coming to the conclu-
sion that quotations of wheat are not likely to
give way is the fact that the deliveries from the
growere have been on SO liberal scale since har-
vest as to give rise to a well-founded doubt whe
Their farmers will be very anxious to part freely
with what they may still have on hand, except at
high terms.
By our advices from Scotland we learn that a
considerable quantity of snow had fallen. and
that the frost had been severe. Outdoor work
had therefore wholly ceased, and farmers having
for their cattle, good supplies of corn had been
brought forward.
From Ireland we learn that the inquiry for all
descriptions of provisions had continued very ac-
tive, and that the fall which took place in the
value of Indian corn in November had again been
recovered. The supplies of grain from the far
mers had, we are informed. scarcely kept race
with the local demand; hence very little was being
shipped to England; indeed, when we state that
the price of oatmeal is higher in some parts Of
Ireland than that of wheaton -four here. we do not
see how we can expect arrivals from thence.
In bonded wheat the operations have not been
particularly extensive, the high pretensons OF
holders having checked business. The terms
asked have been within Is. to 2s. per quarter OF
those at W hch similar qualities have been offered
free, the smaIlness of the stock under lock. and
the belief that no great addition can now be made
to the same by fresh importations till next spring
having impaired great confidence to holders
Several purchasers from France have attended
Mark.lane, but they appeared to consider the
