LATEST COMMERCIAL.—NEW YORK, Nor. 6.  The cotton market is dull.  State stocks have a rather downward tendency. The all-important movement is in the corn market, of which the following is a summary of occurrences : Since our last the flour market has been quite inactive, and transactions limited—holders asking the recent advanced rates, and buyers not disposed to purchase, except at a reduction. Yesterday, sellers not so firm in their demands, but offered good brands of Genesee at 6 dollars 12i cents. Some lots taken at that, but buyers demand a further reduction, and under our present large receipts are likely to obtain it. Wheat, according to quality, at 125 dol. 30 c. The advices of the Great Western caused an advance in prices in-Boston. The latter accounts by the Caledonia produced another improvement. The reports of that market on the sth inst. says :—We notice sales at the close of 1,000 barrels Geneses at 6 dollars 25 cents., and holders quite firm. Prices of Southern are unsettled. Salesof George-town previous to the steamer's arrival at 5 dollars 75 cents. to 5 dollars 87 cents, and since at 6 dollars; 1,000 barrels ditto, Hope Mills, taken for export, 7 dollars. The news from abroad affected the Albany, in common with all other markets. To the sth inst. flour had advanced fully 50 cents per barrel. Sales were made " Chamberlain" at 5 dollars 874 cents, " Safford" at 6 dollars, and some mixed brands of Ohio and Michigan at 5 dollars 874 cents. The range was 5 dollars 81 cents to 6 dollars. Barley was a little better. The Buffalo market on the 4th inst. was firm. Holders of good brands of flour were unwilling to sell under 4 dollars 44 cents., and buyers generally were not disposed to offer over 4 dollars 37i cents. Sales of Michigan at 4 dollars 44 cents., and Ohio at 4 dollars 374 cents. In wheat there was no disposition to operate at present prices, although both the upper and lower elevators were nearly filled. Our intelligence from Ohio is favourable for the next crop of wheat. If no untoward event prevents, it will be as great as in any former year. The increase in the shipments of flour from the interior to the Atlantic, sea board, has lately been very great. There were shipped from Rochester from the opening of navigation to Nov. 1, the following quantities : Bls. Flour. Bush. Wheat. 1845 416,238 ... 917,046 1844  Increase 91,661 196,625 The greater part of the increase has been since the intelli geece of short crops in England was received. That intelli gence gave an impulse to the trade in the interior almost un paralleled.  his forthcoming message takes such a stand with regard to Oregon as is now foreshadowed by his intimate counsellors, and is sustained in it with anything more than words by Congress. The actual commencement of hostilities must be more distant—we hope, far less probable—but the downward road is proverbially an easy one, and if the two nations once begin bullying, presuming on the forbearance of each other, who shall ensure a peaceful end of it? The nonsense which is habitually inflicted on an enduring public with regard to this matter would be sufficiently absurd to amuse if it were not crifhinal and perilous. Just think a our Tammany and kindred reselves that every foot of Oregon up to 54 deg. 40 min. belongs to us, and shall be maintained by the sword if necessary, when not one-tenth of these who yell "Ay" to the sentiment have ever examined the evidence or taken any pains to form an impartial judgment in the premises. It is by such yells as these, with corresponding abuse of " Foreigners," " British," &c., that nations are plunged into the state of wholesale murder, universal destruction, and unimaginable misery, known as war. That a vast majority of our people are averse to a war for the insignificant territory actually in dispute, we do not believe ; but a good part of this majority prefer to sit in their slippers and easy chairs, and let public opinion be formed and din sted mainly by Captain Rynders and gentlemen of his class. The former are only dragged forward in season to foot the  Bill. That the evil we apprehend may yet be prevented by patriotism and firmness on the part of the more enlightended and virtuous portion of our citizens, we do indeed believe; but will it be? Judging from the result of our city election we should say not, decidedly. Let us all act for the best, and we may then fairly hope for it.
