The price of good fair wheat ranged, yesterday, from 81:55 to 81:65, but a small quan tify, howevjer, sold at the latter price, and that of the best quality. The market verv unsettled. Fraud Delected. A load of Cotton was sold in our market on Thursday, and the samples ap pearing damp, the purchaser cut each of the bales entirely open, when they were found to be pack ed with water, so as greatly to in crease the weight ami to destroy a iariro portion of the Cotton. In- stead of obtaining $175 for the hands, say seven women and two girls.

Two plans are before the Com mittee on roads and canals in Congress for consideration: one to connect the Roanoke, Tar and ! iNeuse by canals; the other, to adopt the Sound navigation as far as Neuse, then up Neuse to a point, from whence a Canal may bo constructed, uniting the waters of Neuse with those of Ueaufort Harbor. The Canal between Neuse and the waters of Beaufort Harbor, will be common to both routes, and will be a subject for consider ation, if either plan is adopted.

The markets for American produce were improving, there was a stea dy demand for Hour, cotton, rice, naval stores, occ. at a considera ble advance upon the prices re cently reported. A summarv of the most interesting political in telligence is given below. According to the intelligence brought by a Frnncli brig from the Morea, the second Egyptian con voy from Alexandria was off the coast. Ibrahim was to embark with the sccoud convoy. The convention for the evacuation of the Morea has given great dis pleasure to the Forte. The Vice roy of Egypt excused himself by saying that he had been compel led to sign the convention by the threat of Admiral Codrington to blockade all the Egyptian ports, and bombard Alexandria. Paris papers of the 5th Octo ber contain the official notice of the blockade of the Dardanelles, made by the Earl of Aberdeen to the committee of Lloyds. The operations before Shumla seem to linger, and no further at tacks have been made upon the Turks. It is evident that the Russian army will soon make a retrogade movement; indeed the hospitals and magazines have al ready moved to Jeni Bazar.
