4he new orleans Dilta Of the 18th inst says:
The week now closing has been one Of much ami
nation ID our leading staples, Cotton, Sugar and
MOssses, and the first named article has been held
higher under the recent favorable adviees from
Liverpool, though closing dull Tobacco has COM
manded full rates, but Flour, Grain and Provisions
generally, have been comparatively quiet, with
downward tendency for most articles
Regarding the future il is useless TO ceuieeture-
so many contingencies depend the position of af-
fairs in Europe that do not desire to hazard pre-
dietions. We are satisfied st being so near correct
as We have been since the close Of the last CONNER
oial year. The recently received intelligence Of
Middhng Cotton being at ll-l6d. in Liverpool,
has not met With any response owing to the causes
slludedto.
The Money market has been gradually tending,
since Monday last in favor Of lenders So if rates
are carefully compared the result will be that money
has increased from 70 q cent, in value for the
week, on the general run Of commercial paper
maturing after the lst Of January next First class

LIVERPOOL, Feb 26.-The market was was some

resignation Of the Pamerston Ministry, and the ap-
prehension Of misunderstanding between the Eng

and strengthened by the very favorable advices
from America, to hand per " Canada as well as by
the continuance Of eastery winds, which prevented
any accession to the imperfect stock sale Buyers
have necessarily been limited in their selections
particularly Of Ordinary to Middling qualities

past few days, has been steady, and prices have
daily hardened, closing at advance Of I'd on Mid
ding and the lower qualities. We quote Middling
Orleans 7id; Mobile I'd; Bowels It'd.
A letter from Manchester, England, under date
Of the 23d ult. says:
The market continues to harden and higher prices
are again demanded by spinners to-day. This, Of
course very seriously checks business, as buyers
are not in position to follow so rapid an upward
movement as has recently taken place. In the few
transactions reported to-day, spinners have estab
ished an adVanceu the prices current at the close
Of last week. but the orders given out on these terms
have been chiefly Of limited character, and gener-
ally to make up assortments. In cloth the up
ward tendency is experienced, manufacturers being
very firm, and steadily adhering to their advanced
quotations
