About three months afterward he received a reply to his note from London, England, stating that the apples were received in good condition, and brought about $5 per barrel.

Wth. , The meeting on Saturday was the last one of the season, and was not very animated. No business of any impor­ tance was transacted, and no cheese was sold. There are but six or seven factories in this section that are not now Bold. There is an over supply of medium goods on the New York mar­ ket, but strickly fine cheese are in good demand. UTICA, DOC. 10th. CHEESE.--The market to-day waa duller and lower, although there was a considerable falling off in the offering. Offers satisfactory to sellers were by no means freely made. Nothing higher than lie, was presented by buyers for late makes. A great deal of the best cheese was carried ever. LITTLB FALLS, Dec. HKh. FACTOBT.--The fine weather brought out quite a respectable number of salesmen, and the market wore a more lively appearance than it has for two weeks past. Bather contrary to ex­ pectation the sales amount to about the same as last week Fine October cheese sold at ll}c. and 12c., while November brought from 11c. to 11 §c.

The object of his visit is to Impart correct Information concerning the condition of Mexico. He says he is astonished at the apparant Indiffer­ ence ot the people of this country concerning his own in relation to com­ merce. Bjr the proper means in America, manufactures of cotton goods agricultural implements, etc., could supersede Great Britain and other •foreign countries almost entirely, at cheap rates, while Mexico could send t« the United States many desirable products which are now imported into this from .that Be public. He confirms the truth of statements made by others that Mexico is anxious to secure close an.d friendly relations with the United States, and mentions, as one of the ev- idences «f tt£s desire, the recent send­ ing of regular troop* to the Bio Grande border, to take ithe place of the ineffi­ cient local fevees, for the purpose <©f maintaining ocder on Ahe frontier In cooperations with the Unitod States troops. Every thing points to the Im­ mediate declaration of war by Servla against Turkey, and to the early pre-' sence in the field of a formidable forceJ to co-operate with the Russians. Aj military review has been had by Prince Milan* and the vlgoitis pre par- j ations now going forward give color to the report that a strong Servian column, augmented by 8,000 cavalry | from Gen. Gourko's command, will immediately assail the Turkish rear. Greece too, is in a flurry of excitement, and her population can with difficulty be restrained from following t^e ex-1 ample of Servla and taking the field! against her hated oppressors. As­ sailed in the rear by her insurgent provinces, and her armies held in check by the overwhelming forces of the Russians, Turkey's case is daily growing more desperate, and the event which England dreads but dare not interfere to prevent--the conclusion of peace between Russia and Turkey ! alone--becomes correspondingly lm*J minent. It would seem that Servla and Greeee were determined to ho' in at the death. O Products of Looms of England France, Germany, China, Japan, and United States of America.
