The only difficulty is its bottom, which being oi coral, requires great weight to enable a vessel to ride a “norther” in safety. All things however considered, it is regarded by all our military men, including Gen. Jesop, as being the must advanta geous point on the Gulf coast, for the disembarka tion of any army to march in the rear of Vera Cruz to attack it. From this point, then. General Scott, designs marching his army by the 20th of next month; and hy the Ist of March our arms will again have been victorious, and the castle of San Juan in our pos session, or defeat and disaster will have befallen us, both on land and by water.

Liverpool—Br. ship Rosalinda, 4Uotons Salt, loose and tn sacks. SAVANNAH, Feb. 2G.— Cotton. —Arrived since the 18tb inst., 7,619 bales Upland, [4.138 per Rail Road, 1,334 from Augusta and landings on the river. 2,097 via Darien, 50 per wagons,) and 314 Sea Islands. The exports for same period have been 10,938 bales Upland and 235 Sea Islands; leaving a stock on band and on shipboard not cleared, 0f53,729 bales Upland and 2,724 Sea Is lands, against 23,325 bales Upland and 2,899 Sea Islands, at same lime last year. At the close of our last report we represented the Upland market as being in a very unsettled state, vvitlflittle or no demand, owing to the ad vices from Liverpool per steamer Sarah Sands. This stale of things has continued throughout the week. Occa sionally sales have been made, but at very irregu lar prices. Several of the largest holders have withdrawn their stocks, and w ill not offer them till the market becomes more settled. On Wednesday evening news was received by telegraph, announcing the arrival of the Cambria at Boston with dates from Liverpool to the Ith inst. and from Havre to the 31st nit. As yet these ac counts have had no effect upon this market. The sales of the week amount to only 2,6G9 hales, as follows : 53 at 9; ) lOat 91; 62 at 91; 379 at 94; 222 at 9*; 187 at 91; 311 at 91; 320 at 10; 421 at 10*; 351 at 10J; 3(1 at 101; 14 at 101; 173 at at 11; 19 at 111; and / bales at 11*; cents per pound.— V e find it impossible to give accurate quotations in the present unsettled state of the market, and therefore omit them altogether. The transactions in Sea Islnnds have also been very limited. The sales amount to only 108 bales, viz : 19 at 25; sat 25*; 7at 26; 6 at 26; 34 at 2S; 10 at 29; 22 a 30; 4 at 32; and 1 bale at 34c. per lb.

For Havre, nothing doing. Coastwise—For N. York, the packets have been filling up at I a Jc for square and round bales cotton and $2 per cask for Rice, hut yesterday one of the agents was asking 1c per lb for square and round bales cotton. For Boston, the last engagements were |e for square and round bales cotton and $1,87* for rice. For Baltimore a vessel is loading at ic for square and round bales ! cotton, and $2 per cask for rice.. For Philadelphia, ! the last engagements were I a *c per lb for square i and round bales cotton and $1,87* per cask for ! Rice. CHARLESTON, Feh’ry. 28.— Cotton. —We stated in our review of the 30th inst. that the Upland market throughout the week just closed had been in a very depressed state. A combination of unfavorable circumstances, the most prominent among which was the stringent rates demanded for the transportation of the article, had produced a panic in the Cotton market, and in their anxiety to sell, holders would, from day to day, submit to j such sacrifices, that at the time of closing our re port, Liverpool fair could not he quoted over Jo*c.; prices, however, were so irregular, that we de clined at the time giving quotations. On Satur day last near U-U0 bales changed hands, ami the position ontffairs remained about the same as at the close of the previous week. Monday was a quiet day, as the sales did tmi exceed 460 bales. On Tuesday, our cotemporay, the Evening News, re ceived telegraphic ad vices, announcing the arrival of the steamer Cambria. Nothing was said in rela tion to the prices of this staple, but those of Grain j were reported lower. What influence, if any, | these accounts had on the operat ions of the day w e j will not undertake to determine, but a moderate demand prevailed, and at the close of business j near iOOO bales were ascertained to have been sold, and prices were also reported to have stiffen ed, although this was not generally admitted. The trade on Wednesday was put in possession ofthe details of this news, at least so fir as the papers i could furnish them, the letters, however, had n< t 1 come to hand, and the transactions were limited to ! 418 hales; but although they did not reach their i des iiiation on Thursday, one or two European | purchasers made their appearance, and the opera tions ol the day cover near 2290 bales. Through out yesterday the marker, was again very quiet, ow ing partly to the fact, that buyers were engaged with their correspondence, but more particularly to the’position which holders had assumed with regar d to prices, in consequence of an increase in our ton nage, and die downward tendency in the rates of freights. We have not adverted particularly to the accounts brought over hy the steamer, because they had no influence whatever on prices. The week closes without any decided improvement on the prices paid this day week, although they have for the last two or three days been gradually hard ening. The market is unsettled, hut the following quotations will approximate as near as possible to j the present value of this article, viz:—lnferior and j ordinary. 9* a 9}; middling to middling fair, 10 a ! 10*; and fair and fully fair, lo* a 10?. The re j ceipls since our last reach 9731 bales, and the sales I in the corresponding time may he put down at 1 6400 hales, as follows :—ll hales at 9s; 517at9*- 203 at 9#; 121 I at 9J; 440 at 94; 1293 at 10; 377 at I 10*; 1082 at 10*; 339 a I Ki;477at 10*; 104 at I <»S; i and 45 bales at 11 cents. The market for Sea Is j land, and the other descriptions of Long Cotton, i lias been very quiet, as the sales have been con- I ; fined to small lots made early in the week at form- j j er prices. Since the arrival of the European ad- i i vices nothing has been done, and it remains to be j seen what effect the heavy reduction in prices on I the other side will have can our market. Grain The Corn market was very quiet at the close of the last and in the early part of the pre sent week, hut since the receipt of the European accounts on Wednesday, between 8 and 9900 bush j els North Carolina have been sold at 95 and 100 ! cts. per bushel, which is a decline on former quo tations. Near 9000 bushels country Corn have also changed hands at prices ranging from 90 cts. to $! per bushel. Several small lots North River Hay have been received during the week, in all about 250 bundles, which with about an equal quantity from store have been sold at 1 12* and $1 15. Flour. —The Flour market throughout the week, | but more particularly since the receipt of the rc- I cent advices from the other side, has been very j much depressed; indeed we have not heard of a j single transaction for some days past. We have | for the present erased all quotations. Sa/t^ —There have been received since our last about C 533 sacks Liverpool and 4300 bushels Turks Island The market opened for the former at 110; but subsequently prices dropped to $1 05 per sack, at. which price sales have been made. The ! latter has been selling out in lots to suit purchasers ! at 28 and 30c. per bushel, principally however, at | j the former price. i Paeon. —The high prices demanded for this arti i cle. particularly Sides, continue to limit the trans actions to small lots for immediate use. About 50 i hhds. Sides, old meat, sold at Sic. Sugars. — A fair business has been done in Su- I i gars during the week, and so various have been the qualities on sale, that, prices have obtained a j wide range. Some 90 hhds. common quality, tin- 1 ported from St. Jago. Cuba, sold at prices ranging ■ from 7* to 74; and 30 eeroons per Leader from | Nassau, brought 6*; 100 hhds. Louisiana sold from | Bto 81<■~ as in quality; and 40 hlids. Muscovado, branded “Delta,” of superior quality, were sold as high as 9*c. Molasses. —There have been received since our last 30 tes. and 3J bbls. Muscovados, which were sold at 30 cts. per gallon. About 250 bbls. New Orleans Molasses have changed hands at 35 and 36c. per gallon. Coffee. —Rio in small lots has been selling at prices within the range of our quotations. The 30 casks and 2200 hags or tin's description receiv ed direct the previous week, have for the present been withdrawn from the market, as the parties have determined to wait the action of Congress in relation to tiie tariff. Freights —The tonnage, has increased since our last, and freights have a decided downward ten dency. There is very little Cotton offering for Liverpool, and we quote LI. dull. Engagements were made in the early part of the week at 75e. for Rice; subsequently however. 655. was paid. A vessel has been taken up for Havre at lie for Cotton, and $1 per 600 lbs. for Rice. The rates lo New York, which at the opening of the week were Ic. for Cotton in square hags, and II per tierce for Rice, have declined to *c. and sl*. We quote to Boston, nominally, Cotton in square bags lc.,and for Rice II per tierce. NESV YORK, Feb. 24. — Cotton. —ln this mar ket, on Saturday last, 1200 bales were disposed of, chiefly to manufacturers, on the basis of ll*cper lb for fair Upland; but since the receipt of the un favorable advices by the Cambria, there has not been sufficient done to establish a market; we, how ever, continue our quotations of last week for the present, with the remark that they are nominal.— The sales since our last are 2lod bales, of which 2000 hales were Upland and Florida, thus: Ord to good ord 91 a 10*c; mid to good mid 104 a 10}; mid fair to fair 11 a 11*; fully fair to good fair 111 a 12*.
