Whe Latest from Parls—t ianoreane Acceptance by Austria of the Mediation of England and Krance, for the Settlement of the Ita= Man Question. &e. Ke. &e. The steamship Acadia, Captain Stone, arrived at Boston at half past five o’clock this morning. She sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, the 9th inst. The steamship United States, Captain Hack- stafl, left Cowes on Sunday, 3d inst., at 3 o’clock, with eighty passengers, and a large’ cargo of fine French goods. After proceeding as far as the Scilly Islands, her condenser became damaged, and she was obliged to put back to Southampton. It is stated that she will be at least some four br five weeks before she will be able to repair this derangement of her machinery, and be again fit for sea. The cluef portion of her passengers has left her. The Hermann, from New York, arrived off the Isle of Wight on the 4th instant, and, in conse- quence of a thick fog, but whilst in charge of a pilot, got on shore in Gurnett Bay, near Cowes, on the top of the tide, and, although the engines were immediately reversed, it was found impossible to get her off. A special steamer, waiting off Cowes forthe mails, went to herassistance. A tug steamer was sent to relieve the ship, and the coals were discharged into lighters. This step was effectual, and, at 3 P. M. on the same day, she floated, and shortly after anchored in Cowes roads. Her coals were again put on board, and she again proceeded on her voyage, without having, it is said, sustained any damage. The weather continues fine in Great Britain’ and the grain market has declined to almost the entire extent of the recent advance. The Queen, on the 5th inst., prorogued the two ‘Houses 1 person, by a speech from the throne, re- wanitulating the chief events of the session, and immediately afterwards took her departure for Scotland. Ireland continues in a state of profound tran- quility. : ‘The visit ot Lord John Russell to Earl Claren- don, seems to furpish almost the only theme for ‘®peculation amongst the Irish politicians. The Premier landed at Kingston on the afternoon of the Ist inst., aad was received with a certain de- gree of respect. Demonstrations of applause, or disapprobation, seem both to have tailed. In France, M. de Lamartine has published a pamphlet defending himself trom the various charges against him. Public opinion has so unequivocally found its way to the Assembly,that Gen.Cavaignac has been compelied to deny his, intention of suppressing the Constitutronnel. This journal and the Presse have now resumed their fierce attacks upon the government, and the latter wages open war against the republic, in spite of Gen. Cavaignac’s declara- tion that he will not allow the republic to be im- peached. The approaching elections to fill the vacant peats in the Assembly, begm to occupy public attention. Emile de Gerardin, the Orleanist, editor of the Presse, is a candidate with M. Delessert and Mar- shal Bugeaud. The latter, it 18 said, has refused the command of the army. If an armed interven- tion should take place in Italy, indeed, he would not accept any command offered by General Ca- The Buonapartists are moving both in Paris and the departments, with a view to promote Prince Louis Napoleon’s election to the presi- dency. , ‘ Local disturbances 1n the Provinces continue to secur, chiefly arising from the obnoxious and ex- traordinary tax of 45 cents. imposed by the Pro- wisional government. + On the 3d instant, the garrison of Paris anda portion of the National Guard were reviewed on the Boulevards, by General Cavaignac, who was Joudly cheered; between 70,000 and 80,000 were under arms, of whom about 20,000 belonged to the National Guards, only one battzlion being called out from{each legion. Although the National Guard ‘was invited to attend the review, in great force, | it was found that not more than 300 men mustered from each battallion, and in one battailion the | number was under 250. This rebuke, proceeding from sucha body, has been keenly felt, and has given serious uneasiness to the headjof thejgovern- ment. It is generally understood that several causes of | dissatis{action have led to this species of negative demonst ation. The fiist and principal is the offensive expres. sion used by Gen. Cavaignae against the legitamist party, and particularly against some legions of the National Guard, which, he affirmed, were conspi- Ting aga.nst the government. The second cause was that the government ab. tained f/om contradicting a report that was gene- yally cirevlated of the arrest of two high military functionaries, understood to be Gen, Lamorictére, minister cf war, and Gen. Changarmer, command- er of the National Guard. The third cause assigned was the dissatisfaction produced by the distribution of the erosses of the Legion of Honor amongst the legions of the Na- tional Guard. The Paris papers oi the 7th inst. state that, not. withstanding the appoinunent of Gen, Lamori- elbre to th mand of the Army of the Alps, there appears every probability that peace will be preserved. It appears that Gen. Lamoricitre and M. Ma have been endeavoring, by @ transaction with Odillon Perrot, Berryer, 4 othy to form a fusion of all parties, in which they have not sue- ceeded. It is said that the Saréinian ambassador has of Piedmontese army to ider cation will be fered the command Gen. Bedes proposition. time to cor the who has ta Should hes made to Gen. De menthad recognived t « rat General Aupick, the French 1imater plenipoten« tary, presented his credentials to the Sultan, on the 26th ult. | The National Savoisien, of the 4th instant, pub- lishes a letter from Turin, of the 2od instant, which states that the Austrians,having imposed an extra- | ordinary contribution of 400,000 florins (£32,000) on the city of Parma, to be paid within four hours, that sum being not forthcoming within the period stated, the Croats, according to custom, commenc- ed pilleging the city. ‘The inhabitants, however, encouraged by the patriotic defence of Bologna, rung the tocsin, and commenced a fearful battle, in which they were assisted by the women and children, They threw their furniture from the windows upon the heads of the Austrians, and the inhabitants of the country hurried to their as sistance, armed with their implements of husban- dry. The result of the struggle had not been ascer- tained. {t is said that a serious quarrel has arisen be- tween Gens. Changarnier and Cavaignac, out of the deflection of the National Guards, at the re- view on Sunday last. General Cavaigoac has ad- dressed a letter to Gen. Changarmer, in which he laments the slender muster on that occasion in terms which seem to reflect upon the latter rather severely. M. Ledru Rollin is about to establish a new journal, being dissatisfied with the Reforme, which, in conjunction with M. Flocon, he founded in 1843. The editor in chief of the Reforme, the friend of the late Godfroy Cavaignac, maintains a closer intimacy with the head of the government, and is more influenced by him than M. Ledru Rollin approves of. Advices have been received from Hamburg to the 6th instant. They state that the provisional government of the Duchies of Scheleswig and Holstein, have refused to acknowledge the armis- tice lately concluded by Prussia, in the name of of the Germanic confederation. The greatest jealousy of Prussia prevails amongst the demo- cratic party of the north of Germany, and it is feared that the exertions of that power to promote peace will be rendered fruitless. The blockade of the Elbe, Weser, and Jahda has been raised since the 5th, and the Prussian ports on the Baltic have also by this time become free. ‘The London papers of the 8th instant announce the important intelligence that the French gevern- ment, on the 7th, received despatches from M. E. Arago, the French Minister at Berlin, announcing officially that Austria had accepted the joint me- diation of France and England. We have just received positive intelligence of the landing of the four thousand French troops at Venice. This news may be relied on. General Garibaldi, who has lately been forced by the Austrians to fly from Italy, has arrived at Besangon, on his way, it is thought, to Paris, The accounts from Italy and Rome, declare the whole country to be ina distracted and excited state. At Genoa, Leghorn, and Rome, tumults had occurred, which were with difficulty sup- pressed. Financial and Commercial Intelligence. [From Willmer & Smith’s Times, Sept. 9.) The continuance of fine weather whioh prevailed during the greater part of last week, and the tempo- rary settlement of the dispute between Germany and Denmark,has had a very favorable effect upon trade iu general since the sailing of the Europa. The produce markets continue ta bo very liberally supplied, and as merchants are desirous of realizing prices had given way, particularly for tea and coffee. Cotton is very steady, and a fair amount of business is going forward; but prices cannot, it is said,"be any higher, There is much less buoyancy in the grain trade, and prices have receded considerably below those current on the 2d inst. There is an improved feeling manifested in the trade or British manufactured iron, and prices are a point higher than last week. The reports received from the manufacturing dis- tricts are more encouraging. Orders for goods, suita- ble for exportation, have increased, and higher prices are being paid for both cotton and woollen fabrics, There is noaccumulation of stock, although the manu- acturers are working with increased activity. For money there is a greater demand; but the rate of discount continues at 23¢ to 3 per cent for prime bills: The stock market is pretty steady, and the prices of most of our national, as wellas the favorite Foreign eeccurities, are well maintained, Throughout the past week the demand for cotton, both for consumers and the exporters, has been. teady, and sales each day amounted to nearly 5000 bales. At the close of yesterday’s market, the Committee of Bro. kers declared the following prices:— Fair Upland, 434; fair Mobile, 43d; fair Orleans, Aged. Sales from Ist to 8th September are, 26,730 bales, of which 1,100 American were taken by speculators, and 8,890 for export. The imports during the same period are, 28,600 bales, viz.: 11,364 from New Orleans; 4,174 from Savannah; 2,203 from Charleston, and 785 from New York. The estimated stock of cotton on hand at this port continues in excess of last year by about 161,860 bales. Until there is more certainty respecting the new crops of the United States, prices cannot be ex- pected to advance to any extent beyond our present | quotations. The prospects of the grain trade are not so active ag reported a couple of weeks ago. The weather has been more favorabiein most places throughout England and the sister kingdoms, for harvest operations since our last issue, and the reports respecting the extent of the potato disease less alarming. Our leading corn markets have been very seriously affected thereby, consequently on Monday last at Mark Lane, holders of corn who long have, under the hallu- | cination of a continuance of rain, a deficient harvest | and necessarily arise in price, deficiently supplied the | markets, had their aspirations very seriously blighted. Under these circumstances, wheat of home production declines three to four shillings, and in some instances | five shillings per quarter for old, whilst new was sold at | a reduction of five to six shillings per quarter on the | rates of the previous week. The highest prices realised for American was 48s, to 55s., and for Canadian 46s. to 53s, per quarter. Although the top prices of flour remain unaltered, the sales were languid, and United States sweet sold at 28s, to S1s., and Canadian 285. to 30s, Indian corn was in limited request, and holders ac- cepted a decline of 2s. to 3s, per quarter, the current rates being 3s. to 38%. per quarter. Tho subsequent markets held this week at Mark Lane, were dull and languid, and prices exhibited a still further .endency Liverpool market, holders have readily ac cepted lower prices, and can with difficulty effect sales in any branch of the trade except Indian corn, which is in request for shipment to Ireland. Yerterday the very best western canal flour changed 8 to Ods.,and Cenadian brought the same hands a rates Our Giergow accounts represent the trade in that city, as being very dull, and note the price of United States and Canadian flour at to O38., per 196 pounds ‘The value of Indian corn fs quoted at 20s. | por quarter, and indian meal is quoted at 15a, 4. to 1Ue Some few lots of Cw and United States wheat have been sold in that mar- | ket at 24s te per 240 pou In the Cork market we observe tha’ Indian corn is t £0 6s to £10 per ten, and Indian meal Gd. per barrel ian Felling £9 Ws, to £1 It ie st ture ¢ dovdt th | ‘ | fe matter tos peoulate as to the fa- There can bo but little untries will be wanted and from grain irate es from other e t slverpo 100 the Ist instant, is very imited, ‘and comprises only 14 tierces of wheat. 2 barrels of pork. 39 boxes of bacon, 1440 boxes of cheese, and 1595 kegs of lard. This lat- ter article has been in rather brisk demand Sules to a large extent have been effected at an advance of 1s percwt. Bacon is in sluggish request. but as holders are unwilling to give way, no change can be quoted in prices. Sellers have caused the transactions in hams to be very limited, owing to their demanding higher prices, which have not been submitted to by buyers. ‘The rates for smoked, or in canvas, remaining at 25a 388, per cwt. ; and im casks, in salt, not smoked, 30 a 398, Money Manket.—The money market continues easy, and business, to a fair extent, has been going forward in the Consol market. Fripay, Sept. 8th.—The funds have been rather firmer, owing to the Italian news, which counter- balances that respecting Denmark. Consols are 8574 to 86 for transfer, and 861; to 86% for account. Exchequer bills 288. to 31s. premium Bank stock 196 to 198. Pants Bourse, Tuurspay Serr. 7, 3 o’clock.—The funds opened to-day at the closing prices of yesterday, and continued firm during the day. The coupon was detached from the 5 per cents to-day, which ac- counts for the apparent fall. “"Phey are wetually twen- ty-five eentimes higher than they were yesterday.

Lonpox Guain Manxer, Sept. 8.—Corn, 368 to 383; flour, 288 to 328. [From the London Times, Sept. 9.] Lowpon Money Marker, Fripay enenina, Sept. 8. —In consequence of the removal of difficulties in the Schleswig-Holstein affair, the English funds opened this morning with much heartiness; towards the close of the day, however, the statement in the French papers of the Frankfort Assembly having supported the Provisional Government of the Duch. ies, by rejecting the armistice, was generally discredited, and a reaction consequently took place; the first quotation of consols was 855 to %, and they left off at 86 to}; forthe account the last price was 86% to 4. Bank stock closed at 196 to 19734; re- duced 8 per cents at 86% to 34; three and quarter per cents, 867 to 87}¢; India stock at 237 to 240; In- dis bonds at 21s. to 2, prem, and exchequer bills, March, at 288, to 31s., June, 22s. to 258. prem. The return this week from the Bank of England, being for the week ending 2nd Sept., is of special importance; asembracing the accounts to be submitted to the meeting which will be held, we believe, on the 2lst inst., for the declaration of the half yearly dividend. The amount of netes in circulation is eighteen millions, ninety-eight thousand, seven hundred and ten pounds. (£18,098,710)—being a decrease of £20,170 The stock of bullion in both departments £18,509,662—showing an increase of £5999, when compared with the preceding return; the rest on the 4thjof March last was £3,980, 840, which after deducting £509,356 for the dividend of 31, per cent, and £145,530 for the bonus of 1 per cent, left £3,825,955. On the present occasion the rest is £3,826,382; and 33 per cent deducted from this, would leave only £3,817,027. Itis obvious, therefore, that no bonus is to be anticipated. ‘The Corn Market this morning was again steady, at previous rates. Messrs. Baring’s Circular. Lonpon, Friday, 8th Sept. 1848, A week of extremely fine weather has caused a ma- terial reduction in the prices of breadstuffs, but in the produce markets no improvement can as yet be report- ed; for, although within a few days there has been certainly more export demand for several articles, the home trade has continued to manifest great caution in purchasing, and, with few exceptions, prices have been barely maintained. We subjoin remarks in those articles in which trans- actions have occurred. Prices of all other descriptions of produce remaining generally as last quoted.

Coco a.--424 bags Trinidad, and 410 bags Grenada, have been offered at auction ; afew lots only were sold vof each at 40s.e 44s, for the former, and 40s. a 43s. for the latter--the remainder being held for full prices.

Honduras black 4s. 5d.a 5s. 5d. ver 3s, 8d. a 4s, 6d.; Mexican silver 3s. 8d. to 3s. 9d.; black 4s, to 4s. 2d., being for Honduras black about 24. dearer. Corree.—The home trade have purchased to a fair extent, and prices of plantation sorts are pretty steady but native Ceylon is dull, at 283. ; and in Mocha, a reduction of 8 to 4s, has again taken place. Exporters have confined their purchases to colony Ceylon, at rather higher prices than our dealers are disposed to give. The result of the first sale which took place at Amsterdam on 4th-inst., is not satisfactory. Of 265,991 bags offered, only 135,000 were taken, in the proportion of 17 #18 cents for ordinary to good ordi- nary Java; and a slight decline in colony sorts ; 208,182 bags were put up at Rotterdam, yesterday, but the result will not be known till to-morrow. Tur Cotrox Market does not improve, the daily demand at Liverpool being more than supplied by im. porters, and the tendency of prices continues in favor of the buyer. Our sales for the week comprise 2820 bales Surat, from 25 s 34d. ; and 200 Madras,at 3d a did. Atour Corns Marker, on Monday, the supplies of farmers’ wheat were large, principally of the new crop, and in somewhat improved condition. Owing to the brilliant weather, the trade was much depressed ; ‘and, though holders submitted to a reduction of fally 5s. per quarter, a good deal was left over. In foreign, little done ; but a similar reduction must have been submitted to, in order to effect sales. Barleyand cate, 1s, a 2s, cheaper. Beans dropped 2s,; and gray and white peas, from 5s. to 8s. per quarter. Indian corn was without enquiry on Wednesday. In the few trans. actions which took place about Monday's prices wer® realized, but the trade ruled heavily The duty on wheat has receded to 6s per quarter, equivalent to 3s. 74. 038 7d. 6 16ths per barrel for flour. To-day, there was lit- tle doing in any description of grain, and prices were nominally as on Monday. Our neavest duty paid quo- tations are, United States red wheat 45s. to 50s. per im- perial qr.; white 508, to 55s. do. Flour 30s to 32s. per barrel, superfine best brands. Indian corn 31s. to 328 per 480 Ibs. Indian corn meal 15s. to 16s per barrel. Daves —The public eales, yesterday, consisted almost entirely of second hand goods, of inferior quality, and afford little criterion of the market. Oil of peppermint was the only exception, of which 43 cases were offered, and about 30 found buyers at 8s. in tins, and 9s. in bottles. Quicksilver is held at 3s. 6d. perlb.

The acceptance by Austria of French mediation had a favorable effect, and French funds advanced steadily, closing 3f. 45 a 5f. 714. Later intelligence from Paris informs us that the project of the assembly was proceeding much more rapidly and with much greater unanimity than was expected. There seems to be with the majo- rity a desire to have all obsutretions towards a full and tair developement of republicanism removed, they having decided by a large majority that there should be a preamble to the Constitution. ‘The Assembly proceeded on Thursday, the 7th inst., to examine, article by article, the preamble drawn up by the committee. Two different amendments were proposed, one of which, the first, was to substitute the principle for that of dogma, which was adopted. ‘The second was one proposed by M. Deville, which was intended as a keen satire on the policy of the government, or on Gen. Cavaignac in par- ticular. It was to annex to the words ‘in the presence of God,” the addition, “in a state of siege,” &c. The amendments were rejected by large majorities. The Assembly goes on with the 8th paragraph on Monday next, as yesterday, (Friday,) and to- day, (Saturday,) are reserved for new arrange- ments and general business. ‘The paragraphs to be taken up on Monday, will involve certainly another, perhaps tedious, debate on socialism, as it seriously interferes with one of the tion of «he their most favor Dro du travail. suby! jue; has been sented put forth, and tition there ‘The project has been seconde firmiy + ane tional A se junds ty enable 20 mbly, y ach ying that body to 0) famiies, now unem ish there in the SEPTEMBER 25, 1848. empty, an effort may be made to ratse funds for the object by formal subscription The National, which is considered the official organ of government, confirms, on Thursday, the account of despatches having been received at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the minister at Berlin, of the acceptance by Austria of the media- tion of France and England on the Italian ques- tion. ‘The National, however, modifies the satisfac- | tion by adding, “ we are not able to guarantee the perfect exactitude of the news, and we believe the government has not received a confirmation of it from Vienna.

The Moniteur appeared on Thursday withou No ex planation was given, and it was expected the delay would create uneasiness on the bourse. Gen. Beaugrand, a distinguished officer under Napoleon, died on the 7th. There have been several riots so serious that the authorities of one of the departments had pe- tioned the Executive to place the department in a state of siege. It is stated that Government are in full possession of a Louis Buonapartist plot, with ramifications at Lyons, and ten other places, and that they will put it down with a strong hand Louis Napoleon has announced himself as a can! didate for the assembly in the department of the Seine. It is said that conferences have been held be- tween the monarch’sts and moderate republican party in the Assembly, which it was expected will lead to a fusion of all in behalf of the Republic. It is expected that the Constitution will be voted by the end of October, and that the Assembly will then be prorogued till December. Much disturbance continues to prevail in the de- partments of France, nor is the government at ease respecting the tranquility of the capital. The greatest precautions, however, were being taken to meet all exigencies. In the commercial circles the intelligence of the acceptance of the Anglo French mediation by Austria was not generally believed, though a prolonga? tion of the armistice was expected. A letter from Toulon says, that in consequence ot succes- sive telegraphic despatches received there, an unusual movement was taking place. All the disposable steamers were being got ready for sea, and prepared for the reception of troops and artillery. Four first class steamers were al- ready under way, and it is confidently reported that they are intended to carry a brigade to Italy. The greatest activity prevails in the arsenal. The Constitutronnel states that two regiments of the line, and a battery of artillery, returned from Algeria, would reinforce the brigade at Marseilles. The Observateur states that the government en- tertained the intention of declaring the depart- ment of the lower Pyrenees in a state of siege, in consequence of their resistance to the popular wish. In the Paris Assembly, yesterday, M. Bastide announced officially that Austria had accepted the proffered mediation of England and Spain. It was rumored in the Assembly that a Bona part ist plot has been discovered. Germany. Franxrort.—Commercial affairs, which were improving, have at once received a check by the warlike tone of the Diet, who, by a majority of se- venteen, have refused to sanction the armistice which has been concluded between Prussia and Denmark. As this was a direct violation of the authorized step which Prussia had taken, the minority re“ signed in a body, on the 5th inst. The debate took place in a crowded assembly, and amid much excitement, on the motion that the National Assembly decrees the stoppage of the military and other measures connected with the fulfilment of the conditions of the armistice. The numbers were ayes 338, noes 321—majority 17. For the motion upon the question subsequently put, that the National Assembly resolves that the question, as to the stoppage of the fulfilment of the armistice, shall not be put to the vete until some resolution as to the armistice itself has been form- ed by the Assembly, it was rejected by a vote of 244 to 230. The Assembly broke up amid great tumult. The ministry met in council almost im- mediately afterwards, and, as before stated, re~ solved to resign in a body. The city continued in a very disturbed state till a late hour at night. Italy. The latest dates from Genoa announce that after much difficulty tranquility was re-established.— From Piacentia news has been received thata most destructive epidemic had broken out among the Austrian troops. ‘The Austrian conditions of mediation are—the sovereignty of Lombardy to be retained, and n0 conditional territory to be ceded to Austria. A liberal constitution is promised to Milan and Vien- na, under the Austrian viceroy. The young wife of the hereditary Prince of Par- ma, sister of the Duke of Bordeaux, has given no- tice that she intends to maintain the night of he line in the Duchies, having given birth to a son born an Italian, at Florence. The Roman Chamber was prorogued to the 15th November. The Pope has resolved to send a re presentation to the Congress on the Italian ques tion. Spain, From Madrid, our correspondents state that M Mon has commenced his administration with the announcement of some financial reforms, which it is to be hoped, rather than expected, he will be able to carry out. His principal plaa, anexcellen one if he will be able to carry it into practice, is to reduce the expenditure and retorm the tariff. The rumors of further changes in the cabinet have ceased. The Cortes are not to be called to- gether before November or December An insur- rection, it is said, was expected to break out in Seville before the confinement of the Duchess ot Mompensier.

Austria, By letters from Vienna, we learn that the Joint mediation of England and France in the aflairs of Italy and Austria, 1s accompanied by certain reserves that may possibly preclude its efficiency altogether. Ireland. Dusuin, Saturday, Sept. 9. The general topic of conversation here is tha relating to the special commission, which takes place in a few days at Clonmel; the parties against whom the Crown Solicitor considers he has a complete case, are Smith O’Brien, McManus, and the rebel peasantry. He finds a difficulty in implicating Meagher in the Ballingary affair—in fact, he cannot get proot to show that he was there at all, and his only step to have him tried is by charging him with overt acts of treason in connection with the affair. One or two of the peasants have become approvers, and their depositions are in the hands of the crown, but it will take stronger proof than this to insure a conviction, in order that the crown may have the best of it. The grand panel is to be selected from the petty jurors in those cases connected with the State trials. We just observe that a Belfast correspondent writes us to say that Mr. Halpin Cole, Secretary to the Irish Confederation, who was imprisoned under the habeas corpus act, has been sent up, for what purpose we have not heard. Poor Lord John Russell, who has been making a stolen visit to the Vice Regal Lodge, makes his exit to-morrow. He will be well able to talk glib- ly and forcibly on the affairs of Ireland, for he has, in the short space of a week, seen with his own eyes and heard with his own ears the misrule of freland ; but it was in Lord Clarendon’s back par- lor in the Castle of Dublin, not in the wilds of Tip- perary, the mountain districts of Kerry, or the pov- erty stricken localities in Galway. By the way, many of our citizens yesterday and this morning are busy circulating a report that his lordship will endeavor to accomplish at least one good object by his visit. Whatisit? Why, the abolition of the Irish Court, the only remains of monarchy which Ireland has for centuries possess- ed. Oh! how the tongue of (’Connell, were he alive, would descant upon this piece of whig statesmanship and love for Ireland! We learn by letter from Clonmel, dated Thurs- day evening, that the summonses for the special commission had just been served on the jurors, who were ordered to attend on the 21st inst., under the penalty of £200. Perfect tranquility prevails throughout the coun- try, and the weather continues favorable for har- vest operations, though perhaps a higher degree of yemperature would be desirable Dvuutix Moxey Manxet.—At the Dublin stock ex- change 3 per cent Consols are quoted 85; 3% per cent stock 85 to !, Bank stook 188%.

Liverroot Conn Market, Saturday.—In our corn market, to-day, we bave an improved action. The market is very firm, and yesterday’s prices are well supported. Indian corn is scarce, and choice Ameri, can, to-day, commands 37s. for 480 pounds, and was in demand. Livenroot Cotrox Manet, Saturday.—The sale of common, to-day, will probably extend to about 5,000 bales. If it were possible to note any change in out market to-day, we should say that the demand is more lively than yesterday ; but holders still remain wil. ling sellers. There is an abundant choice offering at yesterday's quotations. Havre Manxers.—An express from Havre reports that commercial business generally is very dull, and cotton lower and looking down. American produce generally participates in the same inactivity. The weather is fine and harvest prospects geod. Havne, Sept. 6—Cottons.—I wrote you Saturday last, the 2d inst., by the United States steamer.
