The sews-frmn Liverpool did not reach the cotun market-id New York in sufficient time to have any impressive effect on the operation/ of the day on Wednesday; yet the market was good, and people seemed pleased with their operations. Holders spoke of “only a few balce”—buyers spoke of “thousands and thousands^’and between the two an approximate opinion might be formed that the man who said he had otHy a few thousand, and the man who spoke of thousands required oofy a 'few to keep his spindles from rutting.

A2e.; New Orleans and Texas, 38, 50, 52c; Towards the dose, the mar ket was excited- and irregular, the sales being 4,009 bales,.with a buoyant tendenoy. On Thurs day the affairs of the day were inanimate. The little exoitemeut whioh had previously existed, completely subsided, speculation ceased, and the sales of six thousand one hundred bales were ail to exporters aud home manulaeturers for present use. The buyers were precise in their selections and gradatious in value as the follow ing rates wili show : Upland, 40, 46, -49, 52; Florida, 4l„ 47 , 60,52; Mobile, 41, 47, 50, 53; New Orleans, 42 48, :>t, 58. Yesterday a iair de mand ruled iD the market, and although not quite so-stroog as the day before, as holders to wards the clone were free to sell, aud the sales effected were 3,050 bales—for Upland, 49, 45, 51; Florida, 41,40, 52; Mobile, 41, 50, 52 ; New Or leans, 40, W, 53. Yesterday a sale at auction of 3,181 bales of Government cotton was held-in Broadwey, com prising Memphis, New-Orleansand Florida pro duce. Tbe sales were-numerously attended and the bidding busk. In each of those the grades of quality were numerous and the rates variable according to quality, rebaled and pickings two^or three degrees eacn of Ordinary, Middling and Fair, ana the rates ranged in so wide a space aud at every- mie. mediate figure from 16 1-2 to 53c per pound. • • On'Wednesday the'stock market in New York was firm and a good volume of business done. Gold opened at 145, rose and fell by fractions, and finally settled down after a'fitful existence at 145 1-8. On Thursday the market in general was fairly active yet unsettled and fluctuating. The bears hammered away—now operating—then retiring, and the pulsations consequently were up and down, but only at about a small fraction. Gold was decidedly in the ascendant, opening at 145 3-8 and steadily advancing until. 146 1-8 was reached, afld at' that figure operations of tho .day closed in a firm temper.

They"had been called outfor three months servipe, and in the expectation that they would be released at tho expiration of their term of enlistment, many youtbe wore persunded to gd who had not attained an ago. and maturity suited for military service. But the termina tion of their service occurring at a moment when the war was raging with tho greatest vj- oloncSr, few were permitted'to return or wore so inclined, and tho regiment was therefore re organized and enrolled for the war. From that time the Crescent city boys were subjected to a series Of trials, hardships, exposures and vicissitudes that told dreadfully upon their once full and enthusiastic ranks. Engaged in many of the most bloody battles that hove marked the progress of this sanguinary war, this regi ment has been several times so reduced or dis organized as to destroy its regimental orguni- zatiyn, and compel its consolidation with other regiments.

Bloody Settlement of an Old Tend In Jackson County. .A serious shooting affair occurred at Neely’s afore in Jackson County, on Wednesday, 29th nlti Th« parties concerned Were Awe men by the name of Williams, and one named Clare, on one side, and two Hams, father and son, on the other. The cause was an old fend existing for some time. For the purpose of settlement they met at tho precinct on election day, armed with rifles and doubled-barreiled guns. At the first fire one of .the ^Williams was killed, and Hautjsr.,-firing at the uther brother, Newton WiUiuBffi missed his aim, the ball unfortunately taking Sect on-’the'body of a Baptist preacher named Grantham, and inflicting what is bev tieved to be a mortal wound. Meanwhile, the younger Ham was shot down, and- his father standing over him defended his body with dubbed but empty gun. While thus engaged, Newton Williams approached, and firing one barrel with fatal effect into the breast of the. father, turned and discharged the Qther through the head of* the prostrate and disabled son. This ended, the difficulty. Nowton Williams remained on the ground nearly all the day, as sisted in the burial of his brother, and defied arrest. Next day Captain Bawn, of the 7th Infantry, in command at Marianna, with a file of men, proceeded to the spot, and arrested Williams at his own house. Clare, at last ac counts, was still at large.—Quincy Common wealth.

As four-fifths of the peop'e oj Florida reside west of Lake City or the Suwannee river, it is altogether probable that under exist ing arrangements, they will prefer, to turn oft’ at Mooticelio’or Madison, amLsuve time and money by keeping the Railroad to Savannah.

[.From the New-Or&ans Crescent.j A relic of the past is seen in a man, bearing upon his face and body the impress of many years. This man walks the streets daily, bearing the marks of misfortune, amid the friends he had known fn better years, but with an appearance so changed, one can hardly re- eognize in him the Mercutio of the Crescent city, the gay, witty and elegant gentleman, who was’ at one time the very leader of fashioa.- Seedy habiliments, a bent body and wrinkled face, bate . nearly obliterated all in him that was familiar in the past. Inheriting a great fortune, he increased it largely by martiage, and from bis profession at the bar bad an in come of forty and fifty thousand a year, and received a single fee of $60,000 upon a claitp on real estate in the lower part of t&e city. This weatth he scattered with princely gefi£-- rosity and royal profusion. He was a Luculius at home, and bis hospitalities aspired to all the magnificence of the ancient Roman noble man. In 1837 he gave a single soiree that coat $25,000, and which exceeded in splendor any- Siing ever before known here. The very floors .over which the dancers moved were covered with scenic paintings, the work of the most accomplished artist then in New Orleans; and in the saloon were gaming tables were arranged stood’two baskets—one filled with bank notes and the other with gold, for the use of those guests who were unfortunate with the fickle goddess.
