The very heavy arrivals Of cotton and Western
produce the last three days have rather stfened the

demanding an advance. There about 100 ships
now loading, and the extensive Gales OF cotton aud
Western produce render il difficult to move all from
the eyec aud encompasses 10 the shipping with the
usual dispatch. Much delay is thereby occasoned aud
the difficulties referred to greatly augmented by
the unfsvOrable character of the weather The num-
her Of unengaged ships in port il now about 40. No
material change in coastyise mte-."
