CITY NEWS. ‘Zana Reform Meeting st Military Hall. Qn Tuesday evening the land reformers met Military Holl, im reference to the Homestead bil Defere the United States Senate, and the Presidential elettion. This was their third meeting. The ques- tien for discussion was a resolution proposed on the previous evening, by Mr. Magagnoa, to question the | @andidates of the two parties, the whig and the demceratic. My. Daniel Willis presided, and Mr. David G. ‘Qpvoly was appointed Scoretary. ‘The question being called up, Dr. Young opposed | the resolution, as it was uselees to question ae tic candidates, who would stick to their ro Pierce had already declared his determina- ‘on to answer no questions Mr. Migacnos then addressed the meeting, and aid, wo are now on the eve of a very great event, whieh takes place every four years. The question ‘Rew before us is not one of selfish interest; it com- ends that grand idea that the land was made Kr 'nas to pt xe it. nae pee. now arises whieh all we support th parties are evenly preter and which side of the scales shall ‘we throw our body into, seeing we are a most influ- ential pety? Which of the two parties, the whigs er the democrats, have done the most good for the le? Isaythe whigs have. The land reformers forsome time past supported one or the other ef these parties, expecting in return to bo rewarded; Dat it was all a fallacy. He then contrasted the sand democrats, praising the whigs for the yeason that they always carried out their measures, ‘whereas the democrats had always failed to do so. said, that in South Carolina, which was a demo- q@satic State, and had been always considered as geeh—in this State where the great John C. Cal- ean lived—it was well known that the people had Yess liberty than in any other State of the Union. ‘The fe there could not vote for a President er Vice-President of the United States; the voting feing all performed by delegates. It was now the time to choose which of these parties land re- formers should support. He then urged the neoes- ef doing something important at ence, aad not to be putting it off from day today. Somothing must be done immediately. Now is the time. L. W. Rycxman then einige, alts the two ies, but was decidedly in favof ot the whigs. aid that land reformers did not want any loaves er firbes, or any offices whatever; but it was his can- @id opinion that they would have more to hope from the whige than the democrats. The whigs carried imto effect all their measures and the democrats did Bot. Therefore, he expected more from the whigs than the democrats. Indecd, there was not a great deal of difference between the two ies only in the name, which was meant to catch voters. He thought that they should not get any assistance from Frazklin Pierce. He was the enemy of land reform, and one of his most important principles was, that no land should be given away. He then refer- red to the vast tide of emigration that was flowing imto this country, and said journeymen asked for apprentices’ work, and apprentices! wages, because foreigners worked co low that they were obliged to d@oso. And the children of those journeymen were ebliged to leave their futhers to beg aims in the public streets. They sent over to Europe heavy and Substantial goods; but Europe sent us over light ones and cargoes of idle people in return, crowding this country to an alarming extent. He then alluded te the democrats, and said, that if thoy were true to their yrinciples, they would abolish the Custom House depariment, and if they did this, it would be truly democratic. (Applause) 7. CRAWLEY said he was surprised at the tone ef the last speech. The Germans and Irish were land reformers, but they were not whigs, and if the land reformers espouse the cause of the whigs, they will drive off the Germans and Irish from their @anse. Itis well known thet the Germans aro in Savor of intervention, and they are also, for the most part, democrats; but the platform of the whigs de- pounced intervention. He thought the democrats would be more injured in the great States by the Jand reformers going for the third party or the Pitts- bus movement. Fr. SPRAGUE said he thought it was too late to form a third y, and there was more to be ex- pected from the whigs than the democrats. One of the latter party told him that day that the land re- formers were al] a puck of thieves, and that they ht go to hell, and co forth For his part, he was im iaver of Scott, who had declared himself in favor of land reform, and he would vote against Pierce, whe was opposed to it. Mr. Groxcr H Evans, of N. J., was here loudly @ailed for, and responded to the call by saying he agreed with the first part of the resolution. He was im favor of progress, but he heard nothing as yet te eonvince him that the land reformers should ehange their position. There were two classes of land reformer:—one clasg’always voted with their party or with that perty that they hoped would be most favorable to the cause. Another class would only vote for the candidate pledged to land reform. The regolution, therefore, takes the right ground— with regard to that part of the resolution that es that they should question the candidates, is he did not think politic, for it would be better that the Industrial Congress should do it. With regard to the Hemestead bill, though he concurred im the censure expressed against the members of the Senate who voted —— that measure, he did not regret its defeat, for it was pot so good as it might have been, and he hoped that next time a better measure would be Beopenes and carried, too. He insisted upon plodges bei: iven in addition to platforms, or anything candidates had previously eaid. He would not support even the candidete of the Pittsburg Convention unless he pledged himself. If he do not pledge himeelf, and Hf none of the others do, a third candidate must be found somewhere, and one class, at least, of the mational reformers will yote for him. The other class will take their choice of the whig or demo- @ratic party, and in that case he would wish them to vote for Reott; but the wisest policy of all will be to vote for the candidate of the third party pletesa to land reform, and to set up that candi- themselves if necessary. ' Mr. Devyn, a northern Irishman, residing at Wil- liamsburg, said he thonght that the man who could hesitate as to which of the two parties he would vote for, was no land reformer at all. Both were equally eorrupt; but the whigs were more favorable to land reform at the prerent moment. The delay of the committee of the Senate in bringing forward the rt, was to gain time to Ss ® compromise een the whig and democratic Senatofs to defeat the bill, in order that the odium of rejecting the meacure might not attach exclusively to one pay: That vote was nova true test vote. It was like the humbug printing contracts; and be hoped that a test vote would yet be taken that there might be mo excuse left to Senators who professed to be in faver of land reform. Did they “pipes anything from the principles or disposition of the whig party, who were undoubtedly the erp ‘ives of the sristociacy? No; he rather looked to the democra- y—the true democracy, not the sham Gage (a t aid their causo. They were not to bo bafiled by the dodgings of the Senate. If foreign intervention, with ‘the ron of bis uncle” at its heed, invaded this country with drawn swords, the people would waik through them like a whirlwind. (Applause.) And would they suffer the Felches to treat them in this manner? they would strike them with a death as bad as the death of the invaders—a_politi- cal death forever. (Applause ) He believed that the Pittsburg Convention would not affect the whigs or democrats, as it would take an equal number of ‘votes from both, and they would go to the cham battle on the 2d of November as comfortably as if that third party did not oxist, bocause if it take 30,000 votes from bin . it will take 19 000 from would, therefore, fire their blank the other. The cartridge at pom other, and laugh in their sleeves. But let the ftand reformers firo a volley of lead into one of these pseriies, and thus do- cide the fate of the day. Tho whigs did not care for land reform, but the land reformers ough’ to ure the whigs for their own purpores. The way to ‘use them, was to vote for them, and thus clicit thei Gratitude. The democratic party were in collusion with the Sonth. Pierce refused to answer a respect- ful letter addressed to him on the subject, because he feared the South. Now, it was the reverse with the whige. They had no hope from the South. They knew that their etrength lay in the North, and from the prairies that firet echoed to the sound of the axe, and where the first smoke of a log cabin ever ascended ip to the frontier of Canada. Ho ‘Was oppored to tariffs and whig principles. He was to the factory system, which the tariff was designed to protect—the eystem which imprisoned beautiful girls in factories to be corrupted, instead of these fair flowers blooming in the sun, and under the fostering care of their paronts. But he had hopes from the whigs, because of the half declarn- tion already made, and because not only the demo- cratic progress whig press, such as the Trihwne, and TYmes, had come out in favor of land reform but Daniel Webeter, and the Courier and Enquirer, aud the old conservative whigs; while the National Democrat and other democratic peers were opposed to it. The Democrat gave the land reformers a stab through the side of Horace Grecley, who was a man he did not care much for, boceuse he did not trust him ; but they were aseailed through him, and the little paper in Williawsburg bad followed suit The strength of the land reform party lay Kast and North, aud the strength cf the whig porty Jay in the same @ietricts Put that and that together, and see what it would count. If any one could show a better plan than to fire a volley into the democrats, so that when the smoke clewr: away they will not know where to find themselves, let him tell his plan, and, in the mame of God, let the land reformers adopt it. He was sorry the Homestead bill did not pass, for, thoogh it all dose, it would hare been a tremendous purge; utd the sailrondapecalatov who ae 80 wuch cham ¢ in Washington, world fool its effects. He concluded by saying that they ought te heid the democratic majority in the Senate ac- countable if that bill was ultimately defeated Mr. J. K INGAuzs, said he did notsce the force of the reasoning dba palling ae podem nee . ipg one o! two grea! A eh Boped for nothing from oltber . Neither of them, as @ party, ever ¢ an impetus to the jaud reform movement. He agreed with tho secretary, that the Germans, who were demoorats and in favor of foreign intervention, would not join the whig party, 70 matter what might be the platform. It was the spoils, and the corrup:ion produeed by the apis that conetituted the grand obstacle to every reform. He bad no sympathy with the democratic party. He was sure he would not vote for Pierce, neither would he vote for Scott, unless be proved himself a land reformer, and more than that, unless he was true to the great interests of humanity, and avowed himself favorable to a sound avian: policy. In reference to dependence on either of the parties, he adverted to the fable of the horse who sought the assistance of man to conquer the lion, but was ridden by man for the rest of bis life. He did not know that he could vote for Hale, for he knew wnises. of the Pittsburg organization. What he pro was, that they should form an ian ue. Few of the land reformers would abandon thi to vote on the 0} ite side, and their votes would be thrown away jess they were united on a candidate put forward by_ themselves. Mr. Wrii1am West said he went to Pittsburg asa land reformer, and therefore to get Scott nominated. The platform at Pittsburg was perfect, but the no- minee was imperfect. He was not the right man for the whigs. Ifit had been 8. P. Chase, it would have damaged the democrats, particularly in Ohio, and Jand reformers would have gone for him, but as he was not nominated, and John P. Hale got the nomination in spite of himself, there was no.other al- ternative left than to go directly for Scott, who was not a whig ona whig platform—(roars of langhter)— but stood on a po form he had formed for himself— 4 good land reform platform. (Renewed laughter.) General Scott had poe himself a land reformer. Where was General Pierce? He was silent as the eal He was nowhere. It was pretty well un- lerstood why he (Mr. West) went to Pittsburg. He went there expressly to aid the election of General Scott; but he was defeated. Hoe would tell them how the thing was done. The “little giant” Doug- Jaz, wrote a letter to Judge Spalding, of Ohio, to the effect that if John P. Hale was nominated Ohio would go for Pierce, but if Chase was nominated the State would go for Scott. Spalding, who professed to be a no party man, or rather, to belong to the third y, availed himself of the hint, and secured the nomination of John P. Hale. It was their duty, therefore, to go now for Scott. There was another reason 4 they should do so. Seott was backed up by Billy Seward, and they all knew what Seward’s principles were. Some- body referred to the tone of the articles in thewhig papers on land reform. There wasa power- ful article on the subject ina magazine forthe month of June, and though there was no name at the head of it, he happened to know that Horace Greeley was the writer. It had beon said that he (Mr. West) was bought by the whigs and went to Pittsburg to do their bidding. This he would not reply to—he would only cay thathe avowed he went there to se- cure the election of Scott, by nominating S. P. Chase, of Ohio. Mr. Barry said the reason why the land reformers Were not the second party instead of a third party, or rather in the position of attaching themselves toa third party, was that they never organized till it was too late, and it they procéeded in this way they would never be one step further in advance till the day of judgment. The two parties were both alike, and there was no principle at stake between them. No- thing ef niggerism or abolition. They were, there- fore, free to take either side for the present, and this was the only course leftfor them. hoy shoul j one of the two parties and not throw away thoir votes on the Pittsburg party or its nominee. Mr. YounG said he was at the Pittsburg Conven- tion, and it was one of the atest that ever was set on foot in the country, ‘and it would be the only opposition party in the campaign after the present election. Its niecienna was all that was just and beautiful. Now it was their duty to yote for tho candidate of that party, or if not, to vote for Scott and give the corrupt democrats a whipping that would cure them of their vices. It required two de- feats in succession to bring them to their senses. Mr. Suannor said he hoped nothing would be done to-night, as it was suggested that the Indus: trial Congress should question the candidates. “He was not in favor of any ef the platforms, and as for the Pittsburg party, it would be only throwin; away their votes to go for it. He had never vote for a whig in his life; but if Scott came out man- fully. he would secure hundreds of votes for him in the Ninth ward, or if Pierce came out, he was will- ing to go for him, or if the Senate would still do its duty and pass the bill, be would be satisfied. If Scott came out for land reform and got their nomi- nation, they were bound -to organize for him in every ward. Tho Secrrrary then said he would, with the leave of the meeting, withdraw his resolution, and substitute a more practical one. His object was to elicit discussion, and that object had been attained. Mr. Apranam G. Levy ‘moved that it be laid over, as he had not yet an opportunity of speaking on_the subject. This proposition was agrecd to, and the resolution was Jaid o The Sucrrrary then moved that the United States Sonate he called on to take a final test vote. Mr. Devyn said he had drawn up one to the same effect, that was perhaps more explicit. He then read and moved the following :— Whervas, We do not regard the recent vote on the mo- tien of Senator Walker, to lay asiacall other business and | ita: monthly meeting of this body was held ou Mon. | day evening. in the lecture room of the Presbyterian take up the Homestead bill as a full ond fair test of its strength in the Senate. thercfore, Resolved, That this meeting request the friends of the measure in the Senate, to bring it egain before the cham, | Tit raTor A Rane for next meeting ber, under the most favorable circumstances that time and occasion will allow. Mr. Macacnos opposed the motion, as delay was just what the Senate wanted. He moved us a sub- stitute that 2 meeting sbould be called on Wednes- day evening next, to decide what candidates they would support Mr. Devyn—What will thi A Voicr—It is a whig trap. Mr. Devyr—-The house will be dalled with office- seekers, if a particular night is fixed. Mr. Bens. Pricy was of the same opinion. They bad to-night the real representatives of the land re- form party—-the men who attended these meetings for eo years—but if thoy fixed a night next woek = a final decision, they would be swamped by out- siders. ; The motion of Mr. Mogagnos was then put and out. The resolution of Mr. Devyr, to request the Sonate to give the moasure a final test vote, was then adopted, and » committee was appointed for the purpose Kost! eut the resolution—Ceorge H. vans, Thomas 8. Devyr, and David G. Croly. The meeting then adjourned to Tuesday cveuing next. do? Miscellancous Local Itoms.

He gives a large party; has invited all the editors, and wants you to go. Lota.—T’H see him hanged first. Picx.—Oh, tut, tut; you are unkind. You know he has treated you very kindly of late, and then you have been over so many times to the Museum to see him ; and don’t forget he sent you a little monkey. Lova.—Oh, Pick, what a fibber you aro! Inever went to see Barnum ; it was the old orang- outang, @ much more respectable and honest man than Barnum, and you know it. Prcx.—But you accepted the monkey which Bar- num sent you, to make up for all the injury he has done you, because you would not put yourself in his hands; and now you might honor him with a visit. Lova.—I’ll do nothing of the kind, Pick. He has got it up for some scheme, and his toadies, Greeley and Raymond, will be there; and I won’t o. I won’t meet them. I will go to Catskill fountain, and take my: monkey, Jocko Barnum, along; and you may go up to Iranistan, and leave me to take care of myself. Tell Mr. Barnum I am obliged to him for the present of the monkey, and that I am very fond of him. He is exactly like Bar- num; and I do believe he learned all his pretty tricks rey ae dodges from Barnum himself. Bye- e, Pick. "Blox, —Barnum is to be at the pic-nic, at Yon- kers, on the 26th. If I go to Iranistan, you can thank him for the monkey then, Good bye. It was in vain we tried to induce the Countess Lola to go on the excursion. Her horror of Barnum was too great. In reply to all that we urged to in- duce her to go, saying that she would seo all the editors of New York under one roof, she would not ‘o. ** No,” said she; ‘* he tricked me once, and Heat was his fault. If he does it again, it will be mine.” But Mr. Pick resolved to ge alone, and leave the indignant lady to go to the Catskill Mountain House THE TRIP—THE GUESTS TO BARNUM’S. Mr. Pick was at the cepa at an carly hour. There were threo cars which had been set apart for the visiters to Mr. Barnum’s. One car was for the press independent, meaning those not under the con- trol of Mr. B., or not in his pay, and the other was for those devoted to Mr. B. The third car was for friends of Barnum, not connected with the press. While we modestly waited, we were nn by Bar- num’s secretary, Mr. E. Pensight. ‘Hallo, Pick,” suid he, ‘this js the car for you. B. told'me to at- tend to you.” We entered a car, and found many people that we did not know. ‘They all belong to the press,” said the Secretary, who, like Bar- num, is a joker ina small way. ‘Spot them to us,” said we. “See in the corner; that is the editor of the .As- modan, a Jewish paper. He isa great friend of Phineas T. B.'s” ‘*And the one on the same seat ?” “That is Dr. P., the editor of the Christian Ad- vocate.” “And the fat caap in front 2” “That is Major Morrell, of the Cowricr § En- quirer, and the one next to him is Col. Webb him- self, The one in front is the editor of the Commer- ctal Advertiser ; nobody knows what his name is. The two in the next seat are Bryant, of the Evening Post, and bis eon in law, Parke Godwin. Opposite is Brooks, of the Express, next to Charley Secor, who will be the next mayor. That fellow next to Genin, the hatter, is the editor of the French paper, talking with C. Edwards Lester, of the Herald o the Unun. The next seat contains Hiram Fuller, of the Evening Mirror; but sou know him. and D Darbin, of the pecker nt Advocate. That is Greeley over in the corner, talking with a lody, who is the editor of the Moral Keform Advocate. The next is Ray- mond, of the Times, and the editorof the Protestant Churchman. But J can’t tell you all the names. T've got a list of all invited.” “ Whereis Mr. Bennett ?”” “Oh, be is in tho next ear, where the Sunday ressis located, and others of Mr. Barnum’s particu- jar friends. He is talking with Cromwell, Mr. Bar- nvm’s lawyer ” We looked about us when we reached the other car, which contained the gh en press. There we were among friends, men and women. There was Mr. Whittlesey, of the Mothers’ Magazine; Dr. Beecher. of the Independent; the editor of the Sab- bath Recorder; Joseph Barber, of the Sunday Times; Williams, of the Dispatch: our friend Ropes, of the Ailas; Smith, of the Courier; Nichols, of the Mercury; Williams, of the Morning Star; and Pictou, of the Sachem—all snarling and growling at each other like mad. At last we started, in three hours reached Bridgeport. Here, for the first time, we met Mr. Barnum, who had gone on ahead. A procession was formed, and we all marched up to Mr. Barnum’s house, passing through a dense crowd of Bridgeporters, who, for the first time in their lives, saw one hundred editors grouped together. The church bells rang until we reached the resi- dence, which is modelled after a gingerbread Cal- cutta residence. From the steps, Mr. Barnummade an address, giving a graphic aocount ef his pro, throwgb life, from the time he left Danbury, with- out a pair of extra breeches, until that happy mo- ment. We were allowed an hourto go and visit the curiosities about the mansion. Mr. Barnum came tous with his secretary, asked us how we were pleased, and regretted that Lola Montes did not come up, as there were many sensible women in the ty, apd he had hoped to reconcile her to his friends Greeley and Raymond. Barnum spoke so kindly of Lola, that we melted, and told him frankly, that if ho woulg go to her pic-nie, at Yonkers, on the 26th, and mako a speech, all should be forgotten. Baryum —Now Pick, did zat ever soe 0 many cursed fools as have got together to-day ? Pick. —Never, Barnum. What are you driving at now 7 Barxum.—Mum! Wait a few days, and look at the notices you will see about me. I am driving for a do. Pick —Who isto be done now, the Bateman’s ? Barscm.—Hush! Pick.—Oh! Barnum den’t talk. Lola told mo all about that. She says that you and Bateman have got up this new dodge, and that you will make $100,600 by it. Barxvy.—Keep quict. Lola is shrowd. Pick.—She is, and she reads you. Do you know what she sags she will do, if sho don’t make money in this country 7 Bannvm.—No; what is it ? Pick.—Sbe rays she will give you $100,000 if you will go to Europe for one yoar, and let her show you through France and Germany as the groat American humbug, aud she is sure that she will clear 400,000 more by the operation. Bauxvm.--Go away. Prcx—That ie all very fine ; but why did you in- vite all these people up bere ? Banxum—To sec my water power. I havo dug a well so deep that it is unfathomable, and, with an engine, I throw a thousand hogsheads on to the top of my building every ten minutes. Prcx—Ob, Barnum! Do you expect to make tho editors ewallow all this? Barnum--Bah! You are some, and there are other editors bere that are some; but as for the great herd of ink epreaders that I have invited up to-day, what the hell do they know about unfathom- able depths of water power?) Why, that ass Gree- ley, asked me to-day how much I paid for Cerean sculpture. Get out! [Exit B] We went all over the house and grounds, and such a quantity of second-band stuil we never saw before There was a complete zoological garden hero. In fact, Barnum’s menagerie, when not in service about the country, feed at Iranistan. INCIDENTS: Horace Greeley was noticing two deers, and said, “Great God, who cut their tails off 7’ Barnum re- plied in a most solemn voice, “Doar Horace, they were not cut off at all, the God of nature drove them in.” The simple ignorance of Mr. Greole: about zoology, was the subject of conversation until the cars returned. Mr. Bennett, of tho Henan, and we believe Mr. Halleck, of the Jurnal of Commerce, roamed in the grounds, but we did not notico that they joined in any of tho gammon arrangements. Dr. Ingram of the National Democrat, and Mr. Fuller of the Mirror, got into a discussion about Barnum politics, but arrived at no result.

The stoek market, this morning, was in a very unsettled state, Quotations for some of the fancies were up, and for othersdown, The movement was not of a decided character cither way. At the First Board, Nicaragua ad- vanced 34 per cent; Florence and Keyport, 34; Ulster Mining Company, *4; St. Lawrence, *{. Cumberland Coal Company opened at an advance of 5 per cent, and at the close it had reached 81; per cent; Stonington, 1; New Haven Railroad, }¢; Northern Indiana Railroad, 1. Erie Railroad declined 44 per cent; Harlem, *{: Read” ing Railroad, 34; Michigan Central, 4%. New Jersey Zine remains quiet, without change in prices. Harlem ‘was particularly active, the transactions amounting to more than two hundred shares, The rise in Cumberland Coal comes rather suddenly upon holders. It is, without doubt. a good stock, and worth at least what it is selling for. The market is tending upward, and the feeling is favorable for un important rise. At the Second Board: there was an active demand fer all the leading etocks, and an advance was, in several instances, realized. Cumber- land Coal Company went up 134 per cent; New Haven Railroad, 34; Erie Railroad, 14; Stonington, 134. There was a small lot of Phoenix Coal Company stock sold this afternoon. at 10 per cent. This stock has been quiet for some time past. but the company have been actively en- gaged in completing its arrangements for mining, and marketing its coal. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $179,192 58; payments, $33,346 91— balance, $6.877,356 79. ‘The steamship Niagara, from Boston, to-day—-Wednes- day—for Liverpool, carried out $237,000 in specie, of which $150.00 was American gold. The steamship Pa- cific, from this port, on Saturday next, for Liverpool, will take out upwards of half a million, in specie, The earnings of the Kochester, Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad Company, during the month of July, (the first month of its operation), amounted to $26,831, of which. $26.453 was for paesengers The freight and mail earnings were only for a week. The beoks of subseription for the remainder of the stock of the New York and Liverpool United States Mail Steam- ship Company (the Collins line) will be opened on the 10th of September next, and remain open until the 26th of that month, A majority of the Einance Committee in the Senate has ogreed to report an appropriation of $8,000,000, three per cent stock, redeemable in twenty ycars, to pay the creditors of Texas, This is about the amount of debt for which the United States is deemed to be held reponsi- ble—about that sum being loaned to Texas upon the pledge of Custom House duties, &c. It will be recollected: that in the ten millions Texas boundary bill, fivejnillions, six per cent stock, were reserved to pay those debts, which Texas has go “scaled” that the creditors will mot accept. These cight millions, three per cent, in lieu of the five millions, six per cent, it is calculated, will only cost the United States a quarter ot a million more, and discharge the Texas debt altogether. ‘The Lebigh Coal and Navigation Company have notifed the holders of the past due mortgage loan, that it will be paid on the lst of September next, from which time the further payment of interest will cease. Such holders as may prefer to extend, upon the same terms as the holders of the common loans, are at Hberty to do soat any tine before the said let of September, by surrendering old for new certificates.

Du Fay & Co.’s trade report for the month of July, pene the annexed succinct account of the principal mar ets of the world up to the latest dates :— Commerncra, Rerort ror Jury, 1852, The same want of spirit which we motieod in our report, continued to prevail both here and In Li Li during the first helf of the month; but during the latter, more activity was manifested in the Liverpool market, in consequence of the advices brought by the Nis which steamer arrived on the 18th, the Africa, which arrived on the 25th instant, These adviees report- ed smail stocks in the American ports, as well as in the interior; and stated thet the crop wonMi barely reactr 3,000,000 bales. including what has been left of the old crop. The sales of cotton in Liverpoot, which had pre- viously been confined to tlre immediate wants of the trade, have since been of magnitude, and amounted to 114752 bales for the week ending yesterday, of which 39,890 were taken on speculation, and 13,200 for export. This has caused a rise of one-eighth of a penny to one- fourth of a penny per pound in the price of middling cot- tons, aa well ag reduced the stock in Liverpool. which had risen to within 32,600 bales of what it was same time last year. American descriptions were even in excess of what they were last year Our spinners and manufac. turers found themselves compelled to insist upon a cor- responding advance; and although the buyers showed great reluctance to submit to any whstever—priees of Pincop yarus and the lower descriptions of mule and water twist, have been established at one-fourth of a pen- ny te pound higher. The gocds market was not influenced in the same de- gree, but stocks being very small of most descriptions of printers, a slight advance was obtained on the prices of these goods; while the holders of articles less in demand, such as stout domestics, and 40 inch shirtings, did not. fai) to exhibit greater firmness. In order to make our friends acquainted with the rela- tive prices of 1st. of August. 1851, and this day, we have drown up the following. «mall statement. from which it appears that producers are now woree off than they then: were, and their position will be rendered still more une favorable, if the attempts to drive up cotton still higher should be successful. The present abundance of money seems to us to be the Fon carn iment or even pro- text. for higher cotten prices just now. If the stock in the American ports now be leas than last year’s, the American manufacturers are better supplied, as they hold at present an average two months’ in- stead of a two weeks’ one. as lest year. In Liverpool, the stock is only elightly less than it Was same time last year, while the deliveries to the trade during the last seven ferns have been 10,000 bales per week greater than ever fore. ‘The stock 'n Liverpool of all descriptions of eotton was Esa ed 051 900 bales, and this. with the strplus stock in producers’ hands, forms, it must be confessed, a fair supply towards the consumption of the rest of the year, without even another bag arriving. We are indaced to venture upon these remarks as we have frequontly heard it stated recently. that a a bog of American cotton would be left in Liverpool ot the end of the year. If the secounts from India and China bad assisted the movement which is now taking place in cotton, the of the latter would have risen considerably more, but fortunately for the trede generally. although unfortu- nately for the speculators. no impuise was given from thore places. 46's mule, which we quoted at the close June at 87sd. perlb , could be bought in the second of this month at 834d to 84,d. per Ib. and the Aqd. per Ib. on cotton, has. s0 far, not been raise the price avy higher than it was at the ond of June. The excess in the exports of yarn to the Continent Europe. this year—over same period of last year, was, two months ago, 4,000 packages, of 1,200 1bs, each, but hag now dwindled down to 40@ packages, This apparently un- satisfactory circumstance. has. nevertheless, induced the of pineops. end ether eultaie yarns at preseat muck i of pincops an st yarns, at present im demand for the home trade, and by ne means abundant in the market. indeed, several oplunais of pincops and warps ore engaged for all theycan produce for some weeks to come, Aceounte from Germany, which have been unfavorable for scme time past, are improving, owing to the firm belief that the barvost there will prove a plentiful one; and we rely more on euch natural. legitimate causes, & permanent improvement in trade. than onany stimulus momentarily given to it by speculative transactions, o an enhancement of prices, established irrespective of “y ly and demand. been repeatedly given, hav improved of late ad exaare repeatedly given, 3 fail to be active, when the harvest. which promises to be excellent, is recured.

The stimulus which the superabundance of the means with which itis carried on gives to trade, is, there- fore. not on universal bleering. The accounts from the United States of America are, on the whole, satiefactory for the dry goods trade.
