The steamship Caledonia, Captain Lott, sailed from Liverpool on the 19th ult., via Halifax, where she arrived at 7 30, on the 81st, and left again at 11, A. M. She brought 132 pas- sengers.

A seriousdownward tendency has taken place in the grain market since the departure of the steamer of the 4th, only occasionaly arrested by broken weather. This, however, has failed to give a firm tone to the market, though at our market yesterday the above quotations were freely realized, and Greater confidence was manifested among buy- ers. The certainty of a bountiful harvest at home, coupled with the continued large imports of foreign breadetuffs forced upon our markets by the necessities of holders, must exercise still + Stronger depressing influence upon the trade; and it may be fairly inferred that the markets have not, as yet, retrograded to anything like the point to which they appear destined to full. Io the London market, also, a similar langor has taken place, accelerated by the alarming failures that have occurred, almost precluding the possibility of re-action.

FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The money market owing to a variety of causes, has become seriously depressed since our last advices per Cambria. The pressure con- tinues to affect all branches of trade with unre- laxed severity, forcing prices downwards, and necessarily limiting operations to the smallest possible scale; the primary causes of this state of | things are the advanced rates of discount re- quired by the Banks of the Empire, and 4 succession of disastrous failures in the West India and American trade. Up to last night the actual bankruptcies and stoppages were little short of £2,000,000, and it is apprehended that many of these will fall heavily upon American houses. Yesterday, in Londen, the public securities had somewhat recovered from the depression of the preceding day, and fluctuated merely from the turn of the market. money 86§ to 86j.

The Queen has arrived in Scotland—he r will be completed in about three weeks. Lieut. Monroe, late of the 2d regiment of Life Guards, was yesterday found ¢ of the mur- der of Col.

The Quee the King under complete surveillance, anc ue every- thing to destroy his influence, short of imposing personal restraint npon him. An attempt was lately made to destroy Gen. Serrano, the reputed paramour of the Queen, by sending a “petard” to him through the Post Office. The political aspect of France is threatening enough—a fierce contest is raging between the Government and the opposition press, the latter charges the ministers with corruption and the failure of the financial administration. The French funds have largely participated in the embarrassments, caused by the raising of the rates of discounts in England. Portugal is quiet, and the Spanish forces have been withdrawn from Oporto. In Switzerland the federal diet has required the dissolution of the Catholic Sonderabound, as being hostile to the general welfare. The accounts from Italy are various; the pro- gress of liberal opinions, particularly in the Pa- pal States, is viewed with great alarm, by both France and Austria. In Ireland the elections have been somewhat more stormy than in this country,and the returns will stand very much as they did in the last Par- liament. Mr. O’Connell’s funeral was celebrated with great pomp. The event has left no after excitement of any consequence. General Armstrong goes out by the Caledonia with despatches. The Hottinguer arrived at Cork on the 16th. The Caledonia takes £30,000 in specie. ADDITIONAL INTELLIGENCE RECEIVED BY THE NEW HAVEN LINE LAST EVENING.

It was hoped | by many that the unfavorable accounts of the | growing crops, brought by the last steamer, would give vitality to the market; but any such influence would have been seriously counter. acted by the bigh value of money, and the conti- nued dullness of trade in the munulacturing dis- tacts. .

Sream Snip Wasninaton. ~ This splendid steamer is to be floated from the sectional dock, foot of Pike street, East River, at three o’clock this afternoon. It will be a sight worth seeing, and we advise those who wish to inspect the proportions of a splendid ship, to be present on the occasion. She has been thoroughly cop- pered. The Washington will positively leave this port on Thursday, the 28d inst., on her second trip over the ocean. The improvements made in her have been very great, and she will prove to be a most excellent sea boat, both for speed and comfort. We do not mean to give her any particular space of time in which to. make the passage across the Atlantic; we choose to leave that to the future. We do not fear the result. She may go over in thirteen days; perhaps in twelve days; and probably in eleven days. Quien sabe. It is enough fox us to know that she will be in perfect trim, and that her arrangements and ac- commodations for passengers and eargo are en- perb and spacious.

As this isthe last detachment that will leave | but the better kinds are neglected, and their value, if | here for that distant part of the continent, we recommend the friends and relatives of the vo- lunteers to avail themselves of this, which will be the last opportunity for several months to come, of sending letters there.

CuatHam Tusatae —The success which the Holland and Carlo families are receiving at the Chatham theatre, is highly complimentary to them as well as it is to Mr. Neafie, who is performing at the same place with them. For the week past they have played to large audiences every night, and the aplause which they receive is po- sitively deafening, It is not to be wondered at. for their classical groupin s and dances are wonderful. Mr. Neafie’s acting too, is excellent, and that gentleman re- ives his share of applause. The bill for this arena consists of the comedy of the “Castle of Linberg,” “..

The evidence was here closed. Mr. Brapy moved for the prisoner's discharge, there being no contract of marriage proven, which was the only point in the case. He said he would insist that the witness wasincompetent ‘and ought not to be sworn. The ceremony sheuld have been proved by an attesting witness. A discussion then took place as to who should have the reply. Jt was at length conceded that Mr. Brady was entitied to have the last word. Mr, Curtixa argued that there was i in the first instance to put the prisoner on his trial. Theyhad shown that he was already a married man; that he had prevailed upon a child of 15 years of age to elope with him, asserting to her that be had means of being divorced from his wife, and proposing marriage toher. ‘They next find him entering into a contract with her,which was fol- lowed up by cohabitation. These proofs were, in his opinion, sufficient for the committing magistrate to put him on his trial, and let a court sod Jug afterwards de- cige on tl hole merits of the case. Mr. Cutting con- tinued to argue the ease at length, and supported his views by reference to various English and American authorities, after which the case wasadjourned. He will be followed by Mr. Whiting to-morrow. Mr. Brady will reply for the prisoner.

The stock market exhibits no new feature. Some of the fancies are going up and some are going down. The bubble in Harlem and Norwich is steadily inflating. At the first board, to-day, Norwich and Worcester ad- vanced 1%; Harlem, %; Long Island, %; Morris Canal, 36; Farmers’ Loan fell off 34; Canton, 3; and Ohio 6s, i. Prices current at the second board were about the same as those ruling in the morning. The opening prices at the first board were higher than those current at the close, and the market was rather heavy between the boards. These slight reactions upen a rising market tend to strengthen the bulls, as they aro able to realise and take another hold. A very handsome profit canbe made, by taking advantage of the daily changes in prices. The parties engaged in inflating prices for these fancies, are satisfied with small profits; they realise whenever they hi an opportanity; it is seldom they wait for any great rise; half a dozen opera tions at a profit of two per cent each, are better tban one at a profit of six or eight per cent. If the outsiders would follow the example of these speculators, they ‘would not grumble 80 much about Wall street. From the movements going on in Long Irland, we should judge that an inflation in prices for this fancy, to some extent, was about commencing. The receipts of this company for the month of August, this year and last, were as annexed :— Lone Istarp Raitnoan.

It would not astonish us much to aco an advance in this stock equal to that in Harlem or Norwich By the arrival of the steamship Caledonia at Boston from Liverpool, we have five days later intelligence from all parts of Europe.
