Between two and three o’clock on Sunday tnorning, our citizens were alarmed by the cry of fire, and it was soon ascertained to proceed from a one story wooden house, in the upper part of Ellis street, directly in the rear of the warehouse of Messrs. Stovall, Simmons & Co., occupied by sundry females of ill fame, which was in a short lime burnt to the ground, together with the kitch en, without doing further damage to the surround ing buildings. We did not learn how the fire originated.— Constitutionalist of Monday. THE LATE FIRE IN NEW YORK. ’“The losses hy the late conflagration at New York, (says the National Intelligencer of the sth inst.,) arc asccrtained to have exceeded the rough estimates heretofore made of them. A commit tee of citizens appointed for that purpose, have accurately examined the amount of the losses thus sustained, and reported that the whole num ber of buildings destroyed was 527, exclusive of the Merchants’ Exchange and South Dutch Church; and that the estimated amount of loss is 17,115,092 dullais.

The Union and Van Buren men, in this Stale and elsewhere, still keep up their vile slanders against the Nullificrs, in attempts to associate them, in various ways, with the Abolitionists at the North. It wmnt do, however; the people cannot be so easily deceived on this subject; and lime must shew them, beyond all doubt, sooner or later, who arc their true friends, and who have labored to deceive and delude them. The Nulli ficrs have nothing to fear on this subject, let their opponents rave as they may. A little time will set this matter completely right, and do justice to all, according to their deserts ; and we arc very much mistaken if those who so industriously slander the Nullificrs for their efiorts to inform the people correctly on this subject, do not then find their slanders to fall like coals of lire on their own heads. Already these slanders have j reached the floor of Congress, and been properly i met there, as will be sceii by the following indig nant reply ot Col. Pickens of South Carolina, to one of Mr. Van Burcu’s supple tools, of “pe ,- j fish credit” memory. It was naturally to be cx c ■ peeled that one capable of making so false and s | infamous an assault, was equally so of submitting ;in silence, (as did Mr. Beardsley,) to so severe I and scorching a reproof; ' | “ Mr. P. said he would now confine himself to 4 , reply to certain remarks that had fallen from the ‘ ! gentlemen from New York (Mr. Beardsley.) l > | He understood that gentleman to say, that certain “ j fanatics of the South, as well as of the North, l > j were interested together in agitating and discus -1 j sing these topics. Mr. P. said, if that gentleman " ; meant hy this to insinuate that those with whom lie (Mr. P.) acted, were moved in these discus > sions hy any sinister motives for party effect, ho I j would throw hack the insinuation with scorn and j contempt. He had understood before that the I same insinuations had conic from a higher quarter 1 , than from the gentleman from New York; and he J ; (Mr. Pickens) would take the present opporluni : ty, standing in his place before this country, to 1 . pronounce them a base, foul, and infamous ca ‘ I lumny ; and those who uttered them knew them t 1 j be such at the tfnio they made them. Mr. Pirk j ens said, true, we do not avoid discussion, because |wo believe wc have been wronged. Ho had the r | honor, in part, to represent a free and gallant peo • [ pie; they had no fears, and asked no favors, on [ | any questions that might he raised here, conncc i j ted with these subjects; and he stood pledged, , i whenever the whole subject shall he properly brought before this House, to vindicate their insti ■ Unions from the falsehoods and vile slanders that , had been thrown over them before the world. Mr. P. desired an opportunity to expose the miserable ignorance and reckless fanaticism that was abroad; i these were the motives that had actuated his col league (Mr. Hammond) in the course he had ta ken—they were none other than the highest and most honorable patriotism.” j SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGI CAL JOURNAL. We earnestly recommend to the attention of j the public, the Prospectus, in our advertising j columns, for the publication, in this city, of a highly desirable work, to be entitled Tar, Sour ed n Meiiicat. and Surgical Journal. The value am] importance of such a work to the gener al character and improvement of the South, needs no illustration; and wo trust, therefore, that it will be promptly aided by the patronage, not only of the medical gentlemen generally throughout our section, but all others who take a just and generous interest in Southern character, and every j enterprise which contemplates the improvement l of it. The work is to ho edited by Dr. Paul F. . j Eve, Professor of Surgery in the Medical Col lege of Georgia—a gentleman of liberal educa tion, and most assiduous and unwearied devotion td liis profession, who, in the early course of his laborious studies, spent some time in the first pro j fessionul institutions in Europe—in those of Paris, during the Moody three days of the Rcvo- I lution—and also in the Polish Army, during its ! sanguinary career—and was honored in both, hy i highly flattering testimonials of his abilities and j valuable services—and during his Professorship ; in the Medical College (which is greatly indebted | to him, not only for its success, but its existence, also,) he has been eminently successful, both in his Lectures, and in his operations, several of which latter were highly critical and dangerous. . They who are acquainted witli Dr. Eve’s estima ble character, cannot doubt that ho is actuated in , this now enterprise, solely by a desire to elevate the general character and usefulness of his pro fession, in this State and the entire South; and we sincerely hope that ho will be sustained hy both in a manner worthy of their people, and of the admirable and noble object in view; AUGUSTA RACES. A match race, for §4,000, between Mr. J. J. Harrison’s b. h. David Crockett, and Col. I John Crowell’s h. h. Bill Austin, took place ! over the Lafayette Course, on Monday last.

'I uc editor of the Constitutionalist denies ho ■ ingtho “champion” of the Bank of Augusta. 1 , commend him lor his prudence. I presume that . it was more consistent with his feelings to follow ■ the lead which was given hy the gentlemen of that institution, and whether his remarks were : not under the almost exclusive control of one of i these gentlemen, I leave it to the community to judge. His articles concerning the increase of i the Banking Capital of the State, as well as the : one about “Savannah and Augusta,"have a strong ( squinting towards the exclusive interest of the Bank of Augusta. However, he may believe like the party in question, that there cannot he found in the State, any set of men so well quail ' fied to manage the Banking capilal, and the cur rency, ns the gentlemen who control that institu tion, and whose complaints are now so loud, in condemning the last Legislature, as well as the “Chatham Delegation.” These patriots asked for the extension of their monopoly, under the spe cious guise of advancing the piospcrily of this city, as well as the State; and when the Legisla ture denied theffi their prayer, they exclaimed at the corners of our streets “that they hoped Ihe trade would all go to Charleston This is in keep ing with their other acts. They doubtless thought, from the high sounding style of thcii application, that their privileges would he extended to meet their wants, so that they would fill their pockets at the expense of the many. Well may the worthy editor now decline being their “champion,” for he will find, if he has not already made the discovery, that in sucli a cause, no laurels call be gained. He admits “that he knows little of the institu tion,” and this is evidence to me that he only echoed the voice of the Junta in his editorials: for, with his acknowledged goodness of heart, (in which I heartily (foncut) wore he acquainted with their twistings and windings, their petty cabals, their secret intrigues, and their high-handod and dictatorial nieasures, I cannot for a moment be lieve, that lie would have said much in their favor, bidden or unhidden, as the case may have been. His course certainly has lessened “the good opini on of his paper,” with not a few of the “good portion of the community.” He should have some little feeling fur the merchants who have supported him so liberally, and I will take occa sion to tell him, that it his wishes had been com plied with, the merchants generally, would not have thanked him for his regards, as any increase of the privileges of this institution, would have been just us much taken from the rights of the community at large; and the merchants had rather exercise their own rights, than yield any of them up to this despotism in miniature. I have never asked this institution for favors, as the editor supposes; nor have I “charged it with squandering its funds on parasites;" hut I did say, and I repeat it, that in the course of its operations ‘•it has made large and unwarrantable loans to individuals,and parasites,” to the serious injury of the merchants generally, whose interest it would become the editor to support, instead ol large and odious monopolies. The Editor also assures us “that he cannot break through the rule which lie Ims universally adhered (o, not to notice idle and silly communi cations ;” but the reasons he has given for the exception, in this instance, may be equally ns “silly” as the article which he has replied to. He says “when Veto borrows a more dignified pen, lie may condescend to reply in form.” I will observe that “Veto” does not write with a “bor rowed” pen, neither does he echo the opinions ol others. This charge of “borrowing” comes with an ill grace from the editor of tile Constitution alist ; and possibly ho judges others hy himself. At any rate, I recommend to his attention Ihe old adage—“those who live in glass houses, should never throw stones.” VETO. FOII TUB AUfeUSTA CHRONICLE: BANKS. Head and Reflect. The groat error committed hy many, is in sup posing that Bank Notes, are money. Now Bank Notes arc neither money,nor the representatives of money. They arc only evidences of debt, duo hy the banks to the holders of these credits, and of themselves have no intrinsic value. The Banking system having driven both Silver and Gold, as well as individual credit, front general circulation, the custom now is for individuals to make what is called a strong Mole, which they give to the Banks in exchange for their Notes, f not for money J ; and for this exchange of cre dits—say, for the term of one year—the Banks take from the pockets of the individuals thus ex changing credits with them, some seventy or eighty dollars for every thousand dollars of cred its so exchanged. So much for legislating away your natural rights. I have said that Bank Notes are only eviden ces of debt and of themselves have no intrinsic : value. Now, if the holders of these Notes could j establish them hy a record, as land deeds are cs-! tahlishcd, they might gather together all lire Bank Notes in the country and make a bonfire of them, and the country would not lie one cent the poor er for it —there being no wealth in them, and they being only evidences of debts due hy the'. Hanks, arising out of an exchange of credits I with individuals. Houses ami land, silver and 1 gold, with the vaiious descriptions of mer-: chandize, remaining, every thing that constitute tire wealth of a nation, would remain. Nrfth -1 ing hut paper would be destroyed, and that which is intrinsically of no more value to a nation than • blank paper. ’ Perhaps there is no subject, so little understood by the great mass til mankind, as that of thepre -1 sent mode of Banking ; certain it is, there is no 2 subject which is more deserving the attention of I the American people ; and it is high time that H every well-wisher of this Republic shouhl inform himself thoroughly on Ihe, subject, and lend a * helping hand to save himself and his country from ruin. Allow this system to go on, gathcr i- iug strength day by day, and night by night, and 1 the years will he few in number, before the yco t manry, who are now the mighty of our Rcpub -0 lie, will be but as the serfs of Russia. 'f 44 Before Ihe establishment of Banks in the in -0 j tcrior, the farmer who possessed credit and char ’* j actor, experienced little difficulty in borrow ing on 0 | his simple bond, for one or more years, any sum which it was thought could bo prudently loaned e to him. Emliarrassmeiiti aud failures, in ff those days, were scarcely known among our hus e handrnen, and society moved on by a regular, ! sure, and happy march. In our cities, on the 2 contrary, where loans have been chiefly made hy ‘ | incorporated Banks, wo have seen a continued succession of bankruptcies; and had it not been ' for the practice so universally prevalent amongst 1 merchants, of securing Ihe Hanks for the sake 0 of the endorsers, Hanking long since would have r been abandoned as ati Unprofitable trade." 44 From Hie adoption Os Hie Federal Constitu tion in 1788, down to 1804, Banks were un known in Virginia, with the exception of a Branch of tho old United States Bank, at Nor folk, about 1799 or 1800. Tho paper of this Bank scarcely found its way into the interior of ’ the country : and it may lie truly said, tho ctir -1 rency of the country was melalic. Until the year 1798, no people enjoyed more happiness or * prosperity than the people of the United Slates; \ nor did any country ever flourish more within the space of time. The desk of every agricultu rist in Virginia had some gold Or silver lb spare, if he was a prudent, industrious man ; or he had something like money to spare in the hands of his merchant, who, in the days of which lam speak ing; acted as a Banker to his prospering custom ers. Nor was interest paid upon such monies ns might be deposited in the hands of his merchant: 1 because both planter and merchant considered ’ themselves accommodated hy the arrangement: I the planter, in having his money safely kept for him, until he wanted louse it,and the merchant, 1 in having tho use of the money until it was call ' °d for. Under such circumstances none will doubt the happy condition of both planter and met chant; and if the view be somewhat extend ed, it will bo found that this stale of prosperi ty was not confined to one or two classes of so ciety, but extended to all. The man embarrass ed might readily sell something, and to advan -1 la S°) to pay his debts. The currency of the country being specie, was widely scattered thro’ l! the land, and in diversified hands, so that its con - centralion at any particular point was impossi- I ble, and consequently its removal fiom tho couu -1 try could not happed to any great extent. “ I know there arc many, who, in order to ef fect present objects, insist that commerce could not be carried on without the aid of Banks. To this I answer, how was commerce carried on be fore w» had Banks 1 Will any body deny there was any commerce in this country at that time 1 None will be found hardy enough to lake this J ground, for every intelligent man of forty years, must know that, before there were any Banks in Virginia, the foreign commerce of the country was greater than it has over been since, and the country fur more prosperous. Nor whs there the least inconvenience in transmittidg money from one point to another through the merchants, whose credit, then, was as good aa tho credit of the Banks riow, if not better. Banks have de- I stroyed the credit and confidence which men had in one another, I 44 No people had more cause to rejoice than the i people of Virginia ; but, alas, tho Banks came, , and all things became changed. Like the Upas . tree, they have withered and destroyed the health ■ ful condition of the country, and indicted on the | people political and pecuniary diseases of the most deadly character;” COSMOPOLITE.

The Chamhcrs are convoked, by special ordonnancc, to meet on the 20th December, anticipating tho i time before appointed for their meeting, by a fort ! night. This measure is supposed to have been occasioned partly by the prospect of tho dilficul lica with Russia, partly by the growing importance i of events in Spain, and partly by the serious as . pect of the indemnification affair. The Duke of Orleans arrived at Algiers on the ’ 16th of November. 5 We find nothing of the least importance in r regard to the indemnification. I It is mentioned as an extraordinary and unpre cedented, fact that there has been no execution in 1 London for two years and a half. It is ascribed ■ to the king's extreme reluctance to sign death • warrants. The session of the Spanish cortes opened on the 14th of November, but the speech of tho queen regent had not been received in London or Paris. It was believed that tho late ministers Torono and Martinez de la Rosa, would bo im peached. Nothing of importance from the seat of war.

Buyers for the English market, .. instantly withdrew from making further purchases , the moment that prices took tin Upward tendency ; 1. “td whether the present stale of favorable tilings e can be maintained, after the individuals who are now operating have supplied themselves, is, wc think, rather questionable. As heretofore, when (lift e Cotton was wanted for the French market, Ihe inquiry extends only to the finer qualities. Wo ~ estimate the sales at about 12,000 hales, and no tice them separately as follows, viz: of Louisiana and Mississippi 113 hales at 11} cents; 600, 17; , 800 at 14; 100, 17; 85.

Sugar. —Tlie market appears to lie very much as wo last reported it, rather inactive; but die planters, and their agents in tlie city, arc firm in their demands, relying on the shortness of the ’ crop. Tho majority of tho soles in town are from 9} a 9} cents; on plantation several sales have p been made ns high ns 9} cents. Cleared this week, for New York, 2 hlids. 2 bids., Apalachico la 40 barrels.

[■ Cleared this week, for Mobile 120 bids., Apaiachi . cola 123 bids.— Levy's Price Current. . Liverpool Market, Nov. 23. Up to tlie 19th instant inclusive, wc had a fair steady demand from dealers and consumers, ami ■ some speculation, and rather an extensive busin »s wits done, producing a further improvement of }d peril), in prices. Oh the 18lh instant, Account* were received from New York to 251 h ult. (a ■ fortnight inter titan before) and since then we liave dates frdih theilce down to 3d instant and . notwithstanding tlie statements of injury from frost, &c. in particular districts, tlie Accounts of tlie coming eiop arc on the whole deemed deci - dedly more favorable than before, and seem to have produced « pretty general impression here that it will prove a Very aiiimdmlt ope. Tlie do ■ mnnd in consequence became languid on tlie 19lli instant, and tho market has since been heavy, , with less firmness on (ho part of holders, and an evident desire to realize, even at rather lower ' prices, so that we consider this last improvement , of }d per lb. is lost, or nearly so, and that our present rates are. little bettor than on tho 7lh in r slant, ami for common qualities they arc quite J ns low; Fitie qualities still maintain a relatively high price, ami 20 bales of prime new Upland sold to-day at 11} per lh„ arising from tlie tem porary scarcity of that description. The sales • for the week ending 13th instant, were 24,260 , hnlbs, and for tile one eliding 20lli inst. they f amounted to 25,410 bales—of the latter, 8,820 s were Upland, at 7 n 10}, with 26 at 11 a 11} ; - 6 880 Oilcans nl 7} a 11}; 3.280 Alulmina mid Mobile at 7} a II per 111. On Saturday, 2lsl i inst. lire business was only about 1200 bales, and to-day about 2500 bales have been sold. Tho import into Liverpool since Ist January, amounts to 886,000 bales, against 782,00!) bales, to same period last year—the increase from tire U. Stales is 25,000 bales. The stock in this port is oslimAt eJ at 197,000 bales, against 122,000 at same pe riod last year. The slock of American is about 120,000, being, an increase of 28,000 hales. Nov. 21.—Yesterday about 2,500 hales of Colton sold with rather d drooping mArkbij 21l hales of very fine new Uplands brought 11 }d. but from lire present appearance wc doubt miicli if that price could be got lot tile catgoes riow ar rived. Although from some of our advices, up to the 2d inst, from America, wc might ho inclined to estimate the crops at 13,000,000, and certainly hardly 1,350,000 hales, yet we observe that this market is influenced hy the expectation of 1,350,- 000 at least, and witli the probability of 1,400,- 000 hides, and so far from speculation of advance since the arrival of the Pocket of tllb Ist Nov. prices arc drooping, uml more cotton offered than before. Unless the next Packet, therefore, shor tens tlie crop to 1,300,000, or under, wo may see farther declines in did Uottoiis. As for how, prices arc too high to lust long. “The niaikct cannot remain as high as now— it is very flat, and more likely to drop }d for iow old Cottons than rise.” Nov. 24. Colton. —There lias been a good inquiry for Cotton from tile trade, and towards the middle of the week, rather higher prices were obtained ; but as tlie quantity subsequently olier cd was more than sufficient for tlie demand, the market lias elosed heavily, particularly for com mon American, without maintaining lire improve ment, The sales comprise 882(1 Bowed 7 to il}d; 3290 Mobile, Alabama and Tennessee, at 7 to 12d; 0829 N. Orleans 7 to 11} ; together, 26,490 hales, of which 1550 American have hern taken hy speculators, ami 400 American, for shipment. Pile market is flat, and prices of ail i descriptions are from } to }d per lb. lower than on Friday. Tlie sales on Satuiday and to-day ! arc 4000 bales. Nov. 25.—Tlie present is merely to odvisc yon of our Colton market being extremely dull to-day with an evident tendency to go down considera bly i so pray act cautiously—op no account should your prices rule over 12 a 12} for fully good fair; and lower, say fair in proportion, if on those terms, goon shipping regularly pet week. Nov, 25.—We consider Bd. per lb, for Liver-1 pool fair Colton of the new crop, quite high ; enough to give, for the prospect of this market. K. €. IMLDWIi\.
