In addition to these cargoes, several of the Liver- pool and London paekets are engaged ahead. The Liverpoo! packet of the 16th December has been engaged for a cargo of breadstuffs, and every tran- sient ship rating A No. 1, finds plenty of freight. The ' Richard Anderson, for Liverpool, has a freight list ot £1,350; and the list of the Roscius, for Liverpool, can- not be much less than £2,500. This is rather more profitable than the freight this way, or upon the 1m- port cargoes from Great Britain. The Liverpool packet ship Henry Clay arrived on Wednesday last, with a freight list of only £400. At this rate, our trade with Great Britain must create a very large balance in our favor, and give us a large importa- tion of specie. We have shown that flour can be exported at the present prices, and an advance on the other side must have a corresponding effect here. Shipments of cotton have, since the speculative movement in breadstuffs commenced, been very limited, and a freight list of @our, grain and pro- visions is 80 much more profitable than cotton, that our packet ships merely take that article to put them in sailing trim. The exports of flour from this port, for this month, will not fall far short of 120,000 bar- ntine, Provi: rels ; of wheat, 80,000 bushels; and of corn, 150,000 | bushels—valued at more than one million of dollars. Mr. Pork anp THE CaBinet.—Speculations are yet indulged in by various correspondents, in rela- tion to the succession and the probable retirement of Mr. Buchanan from the Cabinet. Again we must repeat our opinion that all such speculations, to say the least of them, are unsound. Mr. Polk has announced that he has no intention of running a second term, and refuses to do so, point blank—Mr. Buchanan remaining all the term of Mr. Polk. We say this, notwithstanding the little whis- perings made now and then in certain quarters, in a | kind of under-tone, against the Secretary, with a view of ejecting him. The Kitchen Cabinet, to which we refer, will, however, fail of its object. Ritchie has a secret desire to get Buchanan out of the Cabinet, and would fain see the post occupied by a favorite Virginian, “ardent asa southern sun can make him.” We think this southern sun, however, must seek to shine in some other quarter. Movements or THE GoverNon-GengRat or Ca- napa.—Lord Metcalfe, late Governor-General of Canada, who left Montreal last Wednesday, arrived in Troy, N. Y., yesterday moming. He was at- tended by Dr. Crawford, Capt. Brownrig, his aid and acting secretary, and Capt. Campbell and Capt. Anderson, of the Royal Engineers. His lordship intended to have taken the morning train from Albany to Boston, but on account of fa- tigue and illness, delayed his departure till this after- noon. Texas Nor aN Open Question.—It 1s generally admitted, even by the leading whig journals, that the Texas question is closed forever; and that the annexation is considercd as settled. Some few arrangements have to be made by Congress to com- plete the matter, and there can be no opposition.— An effort made by the Tribune, the Abolition or- gan of the North, and the publisher to the Post Mas- ter General in particular, to make Texas an open question, is fruitless. Theatrieals, Parx Turatne.—The benefit of Mr. Roberts, last night drew together a most attentive and choicely-select audi. ence. The ‘.chool for Scandal,” the richest embodiment of the wonderful creation of the faithfully remembered and immortal Sheridan, introduced to our glowing and vivid fancy the great Farren as Sir Peter Teazle, in the person of the highly popular and accomplished Henry Placide—a part in which he first appeared and received such distinguished favor in the London theatres some years since. Mrs. Bland as Lady Teazle, suited our con ceptions more favorably thau any one within the gift of our recollection, Mr. Roberts as Charles Surface, sus- tained himself most successfully. Mra. Vernon—to speak in the full latitude of her Mrs. Candor—woul | ded fall short in the “license of our invention” or capabl- | lity to determine. In truth, we have not seen this fine comedy more creditably placed upon the stage, or its propria persona so well and fully maintained for a series of long-reckoned years. A new comodetta entitled the “West Point Cadet,” was first produced on this occasion. It is certainly one of the best things of a similar nature it has been our pleasure to chronicle. It deserves frequent repetition To-night, Mr. Placide, as Sir Harcourt and | Grandfather Whitehead, two of his own and most accep- table parts. Bowyeny Treatne.—The performances, in which Yan- kee Hill, J. R.

Hill, takes place; and from the flattering announcement of his own perso” nations, in three of his most distinguished comedies with the adventitious aid of J.R. Scott, ax Napoleon, (a part in which he is the supposed and acknowledged fec simile,) together with Cony and Blanchard, we may safely “ calculate” upon their being a full and crowded audience Cunistian Hunen’s Gann Coxcent.—A fashionable and highly discriminating audience assembled, last eve- ning, at the Apollo, to witness the debut of Mons. Huber, asa violoncellist. Several distinguished performers on this beautiful instrument, have visited this country with- in a few years past, and considerable anxiety was mani- fested} by the lovers of music, to see how Mons. Huber would compure with them. If wo may judge by the frequent, and indeed rapturous applause, bestowed on his efforts, we should say he was eminently successful. He certainly po: n excellent musicel education, and plays with surprising sweetness, power and skill.— His style is pure and classio—without the slightest tings of mannerism or affectation.

We hava had Artot and Vieuxtemps— both highly celebrated performers—neither of whom succeeded in attracting latge audiences, although the former was accompanied by a celebrated cantatrice— Madame Cinti Damoreau. Tho fact is, that Ole Bull, coming {rom the North, the people associated with him all the romance of the Scandinavian minstrelsy end poe- . try, and we are inclined to attribute his highly suce ful career among us to this cause, in connection with his | powers. He bas been considered a fresh a new incarnation of the god Odine, the old divinity of the North, in the shape of a young and handsome man, with fine form and brawny arms, capable of drawing tones from the violin which we never heard the like before. | Masten xKe.—This gentleman gives his first con, cert on the violin, in this city, on Friday evening of next week. He is said to be avery good musician—but this is certainly a bold and somewhat hazardous undertaking, after the tec havo heard the great maestro, Ole Bull, and hia cel rivals, Vieuxtemps and Artot.

Mapame Avcusta anv Miss Lee,—Our Philadelphia cor- | respondent, in speaking of these two danseuses, assigns them the same position in the divine art. We think this is doing great injustice to Madame Augusta. Miss Lee is a fine artist, but she cannot be compared to Madame Au- gusta in grace or in any other qualification, and this can be said without any disparagement to Miss Lee. Our correspondent should on all occasions study to represent ail artists faithfully, and not attempt to utter mere puffs for particular purposes. ‘The object of a great journal is to assign each artist a distinct and just position.

Al- ready are they making preparations for the onsuing cam- paign. See advertisement. City Intelligence. Orrnina oF THe FasHionanLe Sr. or THE Emrine Cius.—The fashionable season may now be said to havo set in in earnest. The Empire Club, which has taken the lead in many affairs that have come off in this vicinity during the past twelve months—from midnight broils to fashionable balls—from leaders and directors of the national election, down to the selection of police officers—as it has been conceded on all hands that they “ have done the State some service,” it is only just that they should have their station and notice. ‘The commitiee of arrangements comprised every grade of democratic character, Aliermen, Assistant Aldermen, Editors, Assistant Editors, Reporters, Printers, Type Founders, every grade of Custom House and Police au- thorities, Magistrates and their clerks—and others, big, little, great, and small without number. The floor com- mittee, comprising some ten or a dozen of these gentle- mon, were remarkably active throughout the evening— particularly in running in and out of the committee room, wiping their mouths with their delicate white cambric handkerehiets, and smacking their lips as they made their exit therefrom. The grand wigwam of Old Tammany blazoned forth last evening with innumerable lights, on the occasion of the seeond anniversary ball of tts redoubtable club.— ‘The room was plain but neatly adorned for the occasion; opposite the entrance was hing the splendid large sili banner of the club; on the other side, from the orches- tra, streamed stars and stripes, intermixed with tricolors, in ‘abundance. Shortly,after 8 o'clock, the company began to arrive—thero ‘was little or no difficulty in setting down the different parties; horses heads were turzed in the proper direction, and not more than six or seven vehicles at a time attempted to get opposite the entrance to alight their passengers, while those who only used nature’s galloway, took the lead and entrance, while the others were arguing the right of priority. In the orchestra were placed Lotniga « quadriile band, who «did their beet endeavors to discourse sweet music. If there was anytaing outré in tho different figures in the various dances, it was not tne fault of the leader, whose lungs were fully exercised in calling them out. Shortly aiter nine o’clock, there were about 250 couple present; among those none was more conspicuous for activity and gallantry towards the ladies, than the Don Giovanni a the city—the leader and commander of the Empire oys “ All bows and smiles and pleasant josts.” Here might be seen a grave judge, having on his arm a sprightly young brunette—there an alderman, high in office, all attention, with smiles and jokes, amid some three or four other fair creatu in one corner, some five or six members of assembly, discussing some knotty point, unmindfal of the gay scene and bewitching smiles around them—then, again, might be seen a portly mem. ber of the Corporation, with his lowing curls, with a slight female leaning on his arm, quite his antipodes in form and figure. Then, again, a member or two of Con- gens, just gracing with their presence, on their way to Washington, this grand display of this Spartan band of democrats. Of the fair creatures present, it would be almost invidious to notice any one; amid @h a galaxy of beauty, it was difficult to select. Yet some one some few, did strike the mind’s eye of more than one spectator. The chaming Miss B—— and the gallant Don, in the first piece of the evening, “The Empire March,” created considerable notice ; and still more so in the quadrille that succeeded, and her hand was cought for by numbers in many 6 eding pieces. So true it is, that on such occasions there is no rest for the beauti- ful.

Of the exports this season, 22,916 barrels were shipped to foreign ports, being within 751 barrels of the total export for the same tima last year, The receipts of flour at Now Orleans this season, to'the 19th inst. have been 127,825 barrels, against 82,631 to the same date last year. New Orleans must, from its position os the outlet for most of the products of the valley of the Mississippi, be a very large exporting port this year for the agricultural productions of that section, independent of cotton. The communication between that port and the interior of the western coun. ry, during the winter, is uninterrupted, and the receipts early in the spring are usually larger than at any other time. The farmers of the west are gonerally very busy until late in the winter, getting their new crops into the ground, and their old crops out of the straw, and get no time to carry their supplies to market, until quite lato, The receipts, therefore, at New Orleans, do not begin to be very extensive until towards spring, when the ar- rivals are usually immense.

The shipments from New Orleans to Boston this season, so far, have been more than three times as large as those to this port. The Canals opened early this year; a little earlier | than last, and about two weeks earlier than the year be fore—the navigation has, therefore, been longer this sea- son than in either of the previous two, and the amount of morchandise transported must have increased very much. The value of agricultural products received at tide water in 1844, was $21,020,085, of which $9,999,918 was in flour, being 2,222,204 barrels, at an average price of $450 per barrel. This year the recoipts of flour wilh not be much less tham 3,000,000, which, at an average value of $5 60 per barrel, would give an aggregate value or anincrease of about six anda half mil on the aggregate of last year. Thero coipt of wheat last year, at tide water, amounted to 1,262,249 bushels, valued at 96 cents per bushel, making an aggregate of $1,211,759. This year the receipts will no® vary much from 2,000,000 bushels, which, at an average of $1 25 per bushel, will amount to $2,600,000, or more than twice ‘1¢ value of last yoar’s receipts. The aggregate value of theee two articles of breadstufs, received at tide water last year, was $11,211,6.7, against an of an aggregate this year of $19,000,000, being a total in- crease of nearly nine millions of dollars in one year: The value of all these agricultural products brought to tide water, on the canals of this State, this year, will not bo much less than $22,000,000, against $12,634,616 last year. The immense receipts of produce thie year will not benefit the consumer much, as the external de- mand takes off the surplus, which will re. duce the stock very rapidly when the supplies cease. The foreign demand is at present limited, compared to what it douhtless will be before spring cpens. The bigh prices and great scarcity of sound po. tatoes will increase tho consumption of flour among the middle and higher classes of society, and consequently increase the price. This market, ihrough the wintert will rule very high, and it is our present opinion tha shipments of flour will be made from this port to Liver- pooland London, at prices full one dollar per barrel higher than those now ruling. ‘Tho southern papers begin to complain loudly of the depressed condition of their cotton markets, and predict &c., among the planters, from the low prices of their staple. It is the prevailing impression in this market that quotations for cottom in Europe will reach a lower point than ever before experienced. This will be caused by the increased production, as well as by the deficient harvests in Europe. The cultivation of this article exce: ds so much the consumption, that, under the most favorable circumstances, prices muat have ruled low. Had the harvests of Europe been equal to an average, there must have been a decline in prices for cotton, a8 the annual increase in consumption does not keep pace with the annual increase in production. The current extimates of the extent of the crop now coming in, vary from 2,460,000 to 2,500,000 bales. The latter estimate, with the stock of American cotton on hand in Liverpool, | on the Ist of September, will give a supply of about | 3,800,000 bales for the yeer onding September Igt, 1846. In | aggre gives avory largo amount of toll, }-any previous yenr nearly two hundred thousand dollars; | | and as another week has elapsed since the Inst returns | were made, the tolls received to this date cannot be much Jess than twonty-cight hundred thousand dollars. Ano- | | | the face of this stock, we cannot conceive how it can be otherwise than that prices should touch a very low point. ‘Tho immense supply alone, we consider suffictent to do- press prices; but when we take into view the effect mpon the consumption of this staple’a short harvest mus have, it is impossible to jat the conclusion alluded to above. It would not be beyond probability te estimate a reductinn of five dollars per bale on the present stock, and on the new crop, from last year’s prices, which will 6 an aggregate decre in the total value of sup. plies, of at least sixteen millions of dollars, equal to the te value of more thon two millions of barrels of flour, and equal to more than the advance on every bar- rel of flour produced in the country.
