Oimmercuil Adrertitcr furnish** that journal, with
tho follewiiig interesting sketch of the abie speech
of Mr. EvKitKTTfon Central American affair*:
Washington, March 12.
Mr. Everett addressed the Senate. He sai-J, iii
the oo'irao ol hi* remarks, that oar rlsion*- witii
Central America formed one of the must impor
taut topics of consideration within the whole range
of our i reign [> ‘hcy, considering the smalloess ot
her territory and the sptrscnosaot population. Ac
cording to Mr. Squire, there are in the See Slates
oui i a"- .',(KKJ inhabitanta. 10,000 only of pure Span
iel. o i.t, and the remaining portion of raized
ra. . and •■■,‘ora. They are yet in li.eir infancy,

A . . s,n Hntain -tup a rival claim,
v, . - • unfounded, yet she did not do
t . o execution ofthe charter, but
on . , • c a ought to aid the enterprise,
t . . ; it; < i 50.... Therefore he thought the
treat, of ! ti ud from Delaware was proptr un
der'n ~-tances. lie agreed with the Hena
tor th.-i Mosquito kingdom was merely im*»
nitum’. - ■ shadow of a name •« was really
nothing nor . Eord Palmerston stated to Mr.
Rives, ti,at from the very early period Great Br •
tain treated tin Mosquito kingdom as an indepen
dent State, and said that they had what was called
a king who, by the bye, wan just as much a king
as you or I. If this was the account which the
British Minister of Foreign Ats. r- gave of the
Mosquito king and kingdom, be (Mr. Everett,)
thought it would be a waste of the time of the
Borate in proving the intentions of tbia king and
kingdom. Great Britain, two centuries ago, con
tracted certain duties and obligations towards the
Mo*qtiiloa», who are now reduced to a mere hand
ful in a wretched condition, and whom she does
not consider in a condition wholly to disregard.
England has no interest or motive in keeping up
the protectorate, and lie believed she was dispos
ed to do what was essential to our mutual tieace.
It is more itriportant who is sent to Centra! Amer
ica as our Minister than who is sent to London,
Paris, or Bt. Petersburg. lie placed entire confi
dence in the President. Out of the able and dis
tinguished men of bis own purty, he would send
the right man. He had pleasure in saying so.
The recent appointments to Switzerland and Peru
w- re sufficient pledges, to his mind, that the Pre
sident will have regard to merit anil qualifications.
These appointments reflect the highest honor on
the President, and his political friends in the
Senate, who confirmed them without hesitation.
He had no doubt the same good sense would pre
vail over appointment* for Central America..
if the right man can be found to take this mat
ter in hand, and bring this long delayed contro
versy to a conclusion, he will cover himself with
honor, if wo cannot settle end remove all diffi
culties existing to the execution of tho contract
on political grounds, he could not sec but Nieara
gua and Costa Kica would atrnggle on, the one
against the other, to the indefinite postponement
of the construction of the canal. He said he did
not think that England violated or intended to
violate the taitli of treaties. What has hlic gamed
by treaty stipulations? She was not obliged to
unite the treaty. We hail no claim upon iter.
What political inducement or ambition induced
her to make it ? There was difficulty enough be
foie, and certainly she would not make a treaty t
increase the difficulty. He could not think she
would ho so senseless as to do it. Then as to
Central America Proper, leaving out Belize, lie
could not but sto England has done nil *be con
tracted to do.
Home difficulties, however, havo arisen as to the
untuning oi the treaty. She has given up thin,
then thut, and lias said alio will give up the Pro
tectorate of the Mu-quituc*. Kho hua given up
Hun Juan, and declares herself desirous of getting
out of the whole matter as soon us possible. If
there wus a suspicion of had faith, and a disnosi
tion to cavil, it might ha said, and there would bo
reasonable grounds for it, that by recent trnnsiio
tions at Han Juan, the United States have broken
their faith. We sec independent municipal qo
verntnent created under the name of the Mosquito
King, it is true, hut in fact by Amorican citizens,
lie supposed at the time of the treaty, the settle
monls at the Utilize and the B'V Islands wore not
in contemplation by the negotiators at that lime.
He wus of opinion that on representation at the
forui 'ii office. England will disavow the act erect
ing those islands into a colony He did not ap
prehend any disturbance ot the relations between
tills ooutitrv and tirimt Britain, in consequence of
•be suite of tilings in Centra! America.
Ho agreed with the distinguished .Senator from
Illinois (Mr. Douglus,) that England does not love
ns. It is only under the rule ot a monarch like
Louis the Fourteenth, whosaid “I anitho Ktutc,’
there can be room to suy I love or hate, an enlight
ened regard for the public will is the rule of ac
tion in countries governed bv Constitutions and
Parliaments. He really believed that with all par
ties in England, mutual, boueflcial, and peaceful
intercourse is considered the cardinal principle of
public policy, and on our side toward England
and Europo wo ought to consider mutual, benefi
cial and peaceful intercourse as a cardinal prinoi
cipie of policy, lie cordially sympathized with the
Senator in the view lm entertained with regard to
the future growth and glory of our country, and
informed him that Europo was not exclusively the
place of tombs and monuments. There is pro
gress there likewise. There is tio country in Eu
rope that lie ever visited whoro the name and cha
racter of an Amorican citizen was not the direct
pass-word to ovevy good ofltco which a stranger
could desire, and no where more than England.
In our views of the glorious future, wo are apt to
tako our own visions of geographical extension as
an index of our country’s progress, but ho thought
that as far as geographical extension is necessary
we shall, in the natural order of things have us
much of it, and as rapidly aathe host interests of
the country require. Moanwliilo, if wo are satis
fied with real solid and substantial growth, with
out being brought into collision with foreign pow
ers, we will have it to our hearts contact. Wo
■will have it by the simple increase of our popula
tion. The law was given ontlio sixth day of cre
ation to increase ami replenish tho earth. In 2S
years of peace—all is wrapped up iu that—it will
give us another America ot living men, but military
spirit and uggrandisomont will provent it. Ho
counselled no pusillanimous doctrine of non re
sis slice, but would act upon the maxim “in peace
propai o for war,” remomboring at tho same time
that tho boat preparation for war is pence. Tho
speech abounded in eloquence, and the above is a
mere outline.
Mr. Douglas made an explanation, not wishing
to lie placed ilia wrongposition by an observation
„• the Senator. He cordially concurred in the
roui.'rka relative to the arts of poaeo. If any ono
lino iif liolioy is more dear than another, it is to
avoid qV'atil'iiH of war and presorvo poaeo in all
time to come Jf there is a difference of opinion
between him and the Senator, it is ns to whut line
of policy would beet accomplish the object. Ho
believes wo should make no pledge as to territorial
boundaries to hind those who are to come after ns.
Ho had not intimated that ho wished to.
Mr. Mason said tho President would furnish the
Inf, nnstion desired without the call, and wishing
to dispose of tho lesolution boforc tho body, ho
moved it bo laid on the tablo.
This was agreed to, and after an oxoeutivo ses
sion the Senate adjourned.
Tlio North Carolina Copper Company advertises

Dr. B. A. Gould, Jr., the astronomer, now con- *
netted with the United States coaet survey, is at (
present in Now York, engaged in a series of im- |
portant experiments having for their object the do- "
termination of tho velocity of the electric current j
over the telegraph wires. For this purpose, a
oiccuit is formed of immense length, extending ,
from New York city to Petersburg, Vu., and back, j
several times, so as to form an unbrokon line of
two or three thousand miles in length.
The Irish papers are filled with accounts ofotni- (
s ration. Every day, says the Tuam Herald, we ,
witness tho departure of crowds. Tho Waterford
t'hronielo states that on a recent occasion, a vessel
loft with 221 persons directly for the United Slates.
Komittanccs were pouring in from the country in
great numbers, accompanied by earnest appeals to
parents, brothers and sisters, to take up their de
parture foi the New World. Already, says tho
Tuam Herald, have many aged parents, whoso
years and imflrmitics render thorn averse to
change, boon persuaded to joiu their children in
the United States.
Mr. l>. 1?. Taylor, of ttie city of Now York, lias
thrust a thorn iuto tho side of tho Barnburners at
Albany, by offering a series of resolutions in As
sembly, endorsing the doctrines of the Presi
dent's Inagural Speech, and particularly the Com
promise measures. His resolutions conclude as
, follows:
•‘And that the State of New York pledges her
* tatl. to the Union that every law adopted oy tho
w stunted authorities of the United States, inclu
f ding the fugitive slave law, shall be faithfully en
forc'd within the limits of the State."
It i' awkward for tho Barnburners, who claim
to be Democrats of the first water, to withhold
their approval from any ot the doctrines of the
*, Speech, especially on the eve of sundry appoint
ments, of which they expect their full share. In
order to parry the thrust, Mr. (laic moved a snbati
jf jute, expressing an approval of the Speech in the
gross, without descending to particulars. The
question has not been finally disposed of at the
dale, cl'our last advices.— Journal of Commerce.

K rp )ie Washington correspondent of the N.
National Democrat gives currency to a somewhat
if wonderful revelation, according to which a nnm-
Hft 0 f wealty Colifornians have entered into a-ne-
IP wotlatiou to buy out the Sandwich Islands from
their present sovereign, with the view of having
them annexed to the United States as a county of
California. Tho negotiation, it is asserted, had
\ peon brought to a successful termination, but tho
■week-minded king was afterwards induced to
withdraw his assent. The Californians have not
given the project tip, but are endeavoring to twing
ti tho king back to his bargain.

j Wi- 1 ip from the <>«/'■>»■ the following items of
i news:
Havana. March 21.
j J/.../» El.tor»:—V is extremc-iy difficult, Ike
j iicw to make bricks without straw or some substi
tute therefor, ami it is no less arduous a twkto
write a letter for the press, when there is do news
to communicate. But faint heart never won fair
lady, and as a tetter mutt >jt written per Isabel,
here goes:
In the first place your readers will regret to learn
that our much es’eemcd Vice President, Mr. King,
is still in a very bad state, in (act it is said tltat be
has not materially improved since be went into the !
Interior, although, as is, I believe generally the !
ca»e with diseases sirniliar to that with which he is
afflicted, some d iys tie has been far better than on 1
other*.
Notwithstanding, however, that newt is scarce, I
we have rumors in abundance. One is, although I
aUucii but little credit to it, that there has been a
serious disturbance among the troops at Santiago
de Cuba or some other portion of the Eastern Do- I
parturient. The story goes, and it must be taken j
cum Qrat,<i min, that a company was called out to
witness punishment, but tltat the Corporal# re
fused to inflict it, whereupon the officer* com
menced to beat them with the flats of theirsword*, ]
which -o incensed toe men that they rushed to j
the aid of their Corporals, rescued them and fled
to the country. Fifteen of the soldiers, it is said, J
have been captured, and sentenced to death, but i
the officers, as. yet, have been afraid to carry the j
sentence into effect, lest the troop* should revolt, [
when called out for that j.urj ose.
Humor, likewise, say s that the Captain General j
has signified his extreme displeasure at the con- j
duct of tho officers, at the same time stating that
at the present juncture it is their duty, instead of
making the soldiers discontented, to do everything I
in their power, consistent w ith the rules of milita
ry discipline, to prevent such occurrences.
" This tale, however must go for what it is worth.
In every other respect the Island is remarkable
quiet, audin all probability, when the next mail from
the Eastern Department arrive*—nom ha* come to j
hand since the first promulgation ofthe report—it J
will be found that some slight infraction of military
discipline did take place, but before punishment
therefore was awarded, the Captain General, as j
Commander in Chief, had to be consulted. But
in this Island, it is needless to tel! your readers, in
this instance as hi every other,
“ The flying rumors gathered as they roll’d,
Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told,
And ail who told it added something new,
And all who heard it made enlargement too ;
In every ear it spread, on every tongue it grew.”
There is another rumor in circulation to the ef
fect, that the famous, clipper slaver Vidy Suffolk
had arrived and landed her cargo, but it is believ
ed to be false information thrown out by tho slave
traders themselves. It is confidently assorted,
however, that another car o has been landed since
the Portuguese cargo came to Havana.
The British warsteamci Devvtlation arrived to
day, and other vessels of war are daily expected,
for the purpose of suppressing the slave trade if
possible.
In the neighborhood of Quivican, about 35 miles
from Havana, the robbers are so numerous and
daring, that two large bands, comprising upwards
of one hundred men each, who hud taunted and
defied tho mountain police, afterwards encountered
each other, when a fierce contest arose under the
impression that they were fighting with soldiers—
a singular instance of retributive justice, and il
lustrativo of tho remark that few men guilty of
enormous crimes, whether the scourge fall sooner
or later, have finally escaped their deserved pun
ishment.
P. S. March 22, A. M.—-I have barely time this
morning to state, that the Political prisoners have
not as yet had sentence p ssed upon them, and it
is the current opinion of those likely to bo the
best informed upon these subjects, that the uu
thorities are waiting for instructions from Madrid
as to what course they shall adopt.
Havana, March i9th. — Suyart. — Considerable
activity lias prevailed during the week and at pre
sonttho demand is brisk for all classes. Amongst
tho several purchases made we note one of 9,000
to 11,000 boxes partofthc produce of different
Estates which had previously neon engaged by con
tracts and which huvccltanged handsuttncfollow
ing rates: sa6,oQoboxesCucurnchosand Brownsof
one planter atea6rials,2 t 04,000 boxes Cururuchos
from another at 5 rials, and 1,000 boxes superior
Whites and Yellows from one of the first Estates
on the Island at 8a 10 rs. Two or three foreign
houses have already commenced purchasing.—
Whites understood to be for tho Russian market
at to 9 rials.
Supplies ooiitimieto arrive freely from thocoon
try. The arrivals during last week in town by
railway were 7,458 boxes, and by coasters 26,649
boxes making a total received during the week ot
84,102 boxes.
The stock of Sugar yesterday afternoon at tho
Regia warehouses was 84,564 boxes, and in town
it is estimated at about 25,000 boxes.
Grffte. —Ist quality, none ; 2d and 3d quality, 8
to 8 4 ; triage, 7 a 7 4.
Mobutu continued ut 2 1-8 to 2 1-4 rials and in
demand. The article cornea in very slowly.
Havana, March 21. — Since the 28th ult., the Su
gar market has been subject to slight tluctations
of demand. Prices uctually felt the influence of
these variations but on tho wltolo underwent little
change, although sellers were generally rather
easier. The purchases for shipment to tho Uni
ted States and’ Europe have mainly sustained pri
ces, while the demand for Spain was ioss influen
tial. Within the last week soveral vessels have
been chartered for St. Petersburg anil the prepara
tion of their cargoes has given life to the market
for Whits Sugars. Tho numerous arrivals of ves
sels from Europe, have caused a decline in the
freights thithor and the aggregate tonnage of those
which liavo boon engaged for tho return voyage,
implies an amount of business which will prevent
for a timo uny material decline from the nresont
rates. As planters go further on with the harvest
thoy can more nearly estimate its probahio yield,
but notwithstanding this ciroumst'tncethoro is still
a diversity of opinion on the subject: it corroborates
rather than impugns tho estimate already hazard
ed that tho cron of 1858 would not differ material -
ly from that of 1852. One circmnstanco must not
bo lost sight of, that tho harvest is not on an ave
rage much more than half gathered and ttiat an
early rainy season will undoubtedly do much harm
to tho planting interest. Tho estimated crops of
the neighboring lslauds do not vary much from
tlioso of last season.
According to all appourancos tho (aggregate pro
duction of Sugar in the West India Islands will not
exceed that of 1852.
Muscovado Sugars are more directly under the
influence of tho markets of the Unitod States and
tho course of prices for thorn will bo governed
theroby. What has yet come to market has been
taken off by tho exporters at the quotations ; Or
dinary j Whites 8V to BJ£ ; Good Ordinary 8%
to 8% ; Good to bine 9to 93a ; Floretes 10V to
10)£; Muscovado 5 to 6. There have been
shipped from Havana since the 28th tilt, to the
United States 10,998 boxes; total exports 45,507
boxes.
Coffee gives rise to limited transactions and sells
at $7% to per qtl. according to quality. .
Molasses lias risen anew in consequence of Us
comparative scarcity and tho largo contracts which
were made for what conld be delivered this month.
A salo is reported to liavo taken place at Cardonas
at 2% rs., which is the asking price lioro. Some
lots have been bought on tho coasts at 2 rials
plus tlio lightorage. Few pnrehasos of Muscova
do Molasses are mentioned, the last was effected at
rs., ami SJij rs.are now demanded. The con
version of Molasses into Bugaris carried to a great
er cx.enttliis year than it has over been before,
aud its influence might have been more sensibly
felt upon the quantity of clayed Sugars had tlio
harvest hcou less precipitated.
Freights, allusion havit g already been made to
tlio increased supply of ships suitable fo r Euro
pean voyages, tlio scarcity ot thoso adapted to the
coasting trado must not bo passed in silence. In
tho commencement of this month there was an cn
auiry for vosscls to load lor Cowes at £8.17.6 to
x 4 per ton, but within a few days nflor, the mar
ket in its then stato of tension, was overstocked by
fresh arrivals and rates fell rapidly to 655. and 675.
6d, at which they may now bo quoted. Two char
tors aie reported to have taken effect, for St. Pe
tersburg at 62s 6d. on the other hand coastwise
freights from 12rs. per box, and $6!<J per hhd. of
sugar to New York have risen to 18 rs., ami $7 to
7W per hhd. and are still looking up. Molasses
Freights $8 per 110 gallons.
Tho Exchanges have declined at to 10 per
cent, premium London, 8 to B}<f per cent discount
New York, to 1 per cent discount (short ) New

The Liquor Traffic—Gwinnett.
Extract from the Presentments of tho Grand
Jury of Gwinnett county, March Term, Stiporior
Court, 185*.
“Wo would respectftllly present, that from tlio
very nature of our position during this week’s ser
vice, we have been compelled to pass in review
many violations of the penal laws of the State, ami
in tracing them back to their origin, in many, very
main instances, it bus befin found in the system of
retailing spirituous liquors. Indeed, we are com
pelled to believe that a large amount of the igno
rance, pauperism, wretchedness, sabbath-break
ing, gambling, theft, debauchery amt murder, that
occupy tho timo of our Courts, and tax tlio Trea
sury of the county, are the legitimate fruits of that
unholy traffic. We feel assured that many of the
seven hundred and sixty poor children in our coun
ty, are made so by the tel!, debasing, retail system.
In fact volumes would not suffice to record the hor
rid evils that follow iu its train; and we believe it
unjust ami oppressive lor the sober, industrious,
and order-loving portion of the community to be
so heavily taxed, both in time and money, to sub
serve tbo interests of the few who retail spirits,
regardless of all consequences.
We, therefore, unite most coriially with our
brother Grand Jurors of last term, with the Grand
Juries of Bibb, Chatham, Richmond, and a best of
other counties, in protesting against its eoutiun
aneo ; and we heartily join iu the earnest prayer of
the Atlanta Convention to tho next Legislature of
this State, to provide, by suitable laws, for the peo
ple to determine, for themselves, whether this
enormous evil shall be allowed to exist among them
or not; and if that cannot be done, wo earnestly
recommend to their considerations the propriety
of raising the tax for license lo five hundred dol
lars, or make the veuder liable for all the pauper
ism and crime that maybe legitimately traced to
his traffic."
J. N. Glenn, Foreman,

Hydraulic Live in Tennessee.— We mentioned
tho fact a week or two since, says the Knoreille Jit
giiter, that a very superior article of hydraulic
lime had beeu discovered upon Judge Kesse’s
lands in our immediate vicinity. Further exami
nations have disclosed a vein of it running west
and northwest of the town and but little more
than a mile distant from the court house, which
will enable Knoxville to supply the demand of the
south tor this article for a century to come. Pre
parations arc on foot to prepare the article in large
quantities l'er market. About one thousand bar
rels of it will be used in the construction of the
railroad bridge at Loudon.
Italian News,— The Newark Advertiser (whose
absent editor is in a position to be well acquainted
with Italian Affaire.) says : “From private sources
we have information that everything is now quiet
in Italy, and no prospect of further disturbance is,
visible. Tho population of Lombardy suffer new
rigors on account of the unhappy counsels of the
authors, whoever they are of the late proceedings.
Several hundred refugees, under an arrangement
with the Sardinian Government, were to be sent
to America iu a few days by a public ship as candi
dates for American favor.”
The construction of the Nashville and New Or
leans Railroad aeoms to be no longer a matter of
doubt. It will be 600 miles in leugtb, and wii!
cost from #10,000,000 to $15,000,000. About $5,-
500,000 of the amount has been raised, and a por
tion of the route is already under contract. It is
contemplated that the work will be completed
during the ensuing year, from New Orleans to the
Mississippi line.
A letter from Washington, in the N. Y’. Tribune,
says—
Louis Napoleon is about to send a naval force to
San Juan de Nicaragua, to demand from the Mu
nicipal authoritiesthere, satistaction for fines le
vied by them upon French subjects, for their refu •
sal to comply with some of the demauds of the
authorities of that place. The French Govern
ment, before deciding upon this course, made a
demand upon the British Government, but that
Government replied that it had no responsibility
iu the case, for by treaty writhtbe United States,
it bad relinquished all authority and dominion
there.
I Where to the Southern Righto Party ?
’ The following pertinent response to thi- ir
■ quirv is from the Corner Stone, a paper rev. t.tl

1 form-*! oae-d that “ glorious band hnt, uolik

; The Guest Suvtsebx Riuht» Party—Where .
| n : —We received a tew day* age a letter from Con
* nictie d, ordering onr paper, in which the write
rays; •• ‘Through yoar j»j<er I hope to gain a bet
i ter knowledge of the object* of the great Stub
i lights party of the South. ’
Vfe ore tony to inform our subscriber, that w
can give him no information as to the objects o
- any such jarty —in fact, he has gotten hoi ; of in
| correct information somewhere, and i- wholly mis
j taken in supposing that there is any such party it
[ existence. There was, two or three years ago
i in this part of tile country, a paitv which caifec
; itself—“ file great Southern Rights’ partybut i'
; is gone, and wc now hear nothing of it—having
heard nothing of any formal dissolution of it, wt
are left to inter that those who composed it, having
! become satisfied they were wrong, have quietly
kipped off. ac'iug upon the old saw, “the least
t d", the .-ooneat mended.”
1 uur own opinion is, that the grout majority ol
i those who were found in its ranks, were there
; fro;;, a mistake in calculation* as to its popularity
■ —and having found out their mistake, they are
’ no longer Southern Eights, but good Union Dem
ocratic men, who are willing to waive even “the
r gist of secession.” There i* now at the South a
i “gteui Democratic party”—a* to the object of that,
w : think we can inform our subscriber itt a few
I words—it is to take to themselves whatever ofthe
j spoils the people ofthe North can spare, or are
willing to give them to hold them on to “ this glo
rious Union."
T.-iere is this great difference between the North
and the .South—whenever there is a chance tor a
profitable foray upon the rights of the South, for
the consummation of which the united strength of
the North is required—it is only necessary to agi
tate the question ot Slavery and the union is ef
fected ait once—when it becomes necessary to di
vide out the spoils among themselves, then they
are themselves undertLeir old ranks of Whig and
Democrat.
But the South, like all weaker powers, is always
in the defensive; satisfied with her own rights,
site as neither the disposition nor the power to
make encroachment* on the North. The South
stands in somewhat the same relation to the North
that Ireland does to England; with vo'cs enough
in the National Legislature to have the appearance
of a representation, without enough to pass or to
prevent the passage of uny law. Whenever the
North is united, we are helpless. The general go
vernment being tho great source of patronage, and
being in tho hands of and under tile control of
the North, those who are looking to their own
advancement prefer that their people should sub
mit to wrong, rather than they should lose prefer
ment. Hence, no matter how groat the wrong, or
flagrant tac injustice which the North may, through
the agency ofthe federal government, inflict upon
the South’, there are always found among us plen
ty of men, and unfortunately they are men of in
fluence, who take the side of the North, and even
if they admit the wrong, they counsel submission.
The loaves and fishes, then, which we furnish,
and the North appropriates, are an inducement to
union-at the North, when aggression is to be
made, and a bribe to division at the South, where
resistance is to be made. So long, therefore, as
political leaders look to the goncral government
as the great source of reward und preferment, so
long are wc in the power and at the tnerey of the
North.
There is a remedy for this evil, and it is in the
power of those who believe with us, “thatthe
Union is a great curse to the South.” We shall,
as we go along, point it out.
Railroads In Virginia.
The Richmond Timet has prepared, “with
much care,” the followii g statement, showing the
number o miles of Railroad authorised to be built
and completed in the Old Dominion. Virginia,
we presume, tiad little to do with the Baltimore
and Ohio Road and its branch, except to grant a
charter:

The Commonwealth, continues the Tim?*, is
deeply interested in nearly all of theso works aud
has dealt out pecuniary aid to them with a liberal
hand. There cannot be a rational doubt that every
mile of railroad now authorized to be constructed
will be completed ithin the next five or six years.
We shall then have a system of internal improve
ment of which any State in the Union might well he
proud. We may then boast, as a New York Sena
tor lately boasted on tho floor of Congress, that our
roads, if drawn out in a straight line, would reach
Irom the Atlantic to the Pacific.
To enable the reader to see the extent of our
railway system as compared with those of other
States, we subjoin the following statement which
shows tho facts as they existed about one year |
ago, and is, therefore, sufficiently accurate for our I
purpose:

Build up Home .Manufactures.
The following paragraph from the New York
Courier d: Enquirer, should be treasured up for its
sound and wholsomc truths:
“If it be true that tho establishment of manu
factories among ourselves pot merely furnishes
near markets to the agriculturist instead of distant
ones, but, by their presence, trains the common
mind ta a knowledge ot the principles of ma
chinery, whets its ingenuity, olfers opportunities,
invaluable in their kind, for its healthy occupation,
and produces national results in the shape of im
provements and inventions which would not have
been known bat for the existence in every State of
factories for iron, cotton, woolen or other fabrics,
and of the delicate and complicated moohanisms
which attend them, then was the money well spent
to which in the shape of duties we have submitted
to encourage their establishment; well spent if it
could be proved that we anticipated thoir estab
lishment thereby but half a century, and that we
maintain them prosperous until a more equitable
distribution of capital and labor will admit of their
maintaining themselves; it was well spent if we
thereby furnished the encouragement necessary to
meet the losses, failures, and disappointments
universally attendant on tho first introduction of
such operations in a new country. No kind of
education, we behove, nor any degree or amount
of it could have been made so productive of ac
tivc, mental, and oodily occupation, and the sound
and happy results which well paid industry in
sures, us tho presence of that variety of work
shops amongst, ns which tho different kinds of
manufacturing establishments require. We can
conceive therefore of free trade being a very slow
blessing, and of some protection rationally applied
becoming, as in our ca*e, a far more prompt ono.”

This document we regard ns on# of tho most im
portant State papers which has appeared on this
continent for the last quarter of a century. Made
public in Mexico on the same day that Gen. Pierce
delivered his inaugural at Washington, it acquires
additional weight from its contrast with the views
set forth in that document.
Its deep hostility to Arista and iiis party, will
leave them no resource in case Santa Anna returns
aud carries his enmity into practice, but to rally
the northern States of Mexico to their support,
and thus produce a civil war, wbioh will result in
tlio formation of a new Mexican republic west of
Texas. Its deep hostility to the United States will,
if Santa Anna returns, arouse the whole Mexican
nation agaim t us, and in tho delicate position of
our relations with the Republic, render almost in

European Revolution!—-Their Leaders.
The want of a high, unquestionable, and self
roliant integrity in tlio leaders of any worthy |
cause, deprives defeat of all sympathy, and makes
success a suspicious und spurious thing. Man
kind accord reluctantly the meed due to honest
deeds, to triumph wrought out by the employment
of reckless means. Wo arc lead to these observa
tions, on a candid perusal of the history .oi the late
disastrous events at Milan. That beautiful city is
now garrisoned with a ruthless Austrian soldiery,
her streets desolated, her best citizens banished,
their property sequestered. What has caused all
this, and who are the actors !
A few weeks since a proclammatiou was put
forth over the signature ot Mazzini, addressed to
the Milanese, urging them to revolt, and couchod
in most fiery terms. Simultaneously appeared a
manifesto, signed by Kossuth, and purporting to
be “in the name of the Hungarian Nation, to tho
soldiers quartered in Italy.” Thus duped and in
stigated, the Milanese run up the flag of Kevolu
tion, and down comes the crushing blow el
iron handed Austria. But scarcely has the news
spread to us, that Kossuth is again at bis work,
when lo 1 we read that he denius tho authorship
of the manifesto, and disclaims ail connection with
the affair.
The mystery is at last explained, and m a man
ner that increases our previous distrust of the sir
cerity and honesty of tho so called popular leaders
in Europe.
The document, with Kossuth s name attached,
seems to have boon an old manifesto ot his—con
taining some bolts of rusty thunder, which Maz
zini has filed otfand furbished up, to suit the pre
sent occssion. Thus to promote his own designs,
he sureptitiously shelters them under the shadow oi
a greater name than his own, and perpetrates what
technicalities and morals alike must recognise ns a
deliberate forgery. And it is to such men, a tou
ted bv such ptiuciples, that wo are told the noble
task of redeeming “Europe’s oppressed millions”
from a grinding bondage, lias been committed.
Can tho cause of right prosper in such hands f
Does the cause ot liberty oven merit our sympa
thy. when sou'-dit to be promoted by such means ?
It were well were this the only instance, where the
plague spot of dishonesty and falsehood, oil the
part of leaders, has marred tiie late struggles for
liberty in Europe. But the impartial imestigator
is startled to discover how litttle of tho lotty and
genuine qualities which mark the hero these men
for the most part possess. Wo constantly find
them unscrupulously adopting fraudulent mea
sures, to eli'eet tiieir objects, not seeming to know
that the escutcheon of liberty should be spotless
and unsullied. They are in short demagogues.—
The very papers alluded to, aro full of the claptrap,
so hereditary and infectious on the lips of this typo
of men. lti Mazzini’s proclamation, the iollowiug
appears:
“Insurrection! The moment matured, panted
after, for three long years, has arrived. Let ns 1
seize it. Be not deceived by appearances; be not |
misled bv the cowardly sophstriesot lukewarm j
men. The entire surface of Europe, from Snaiti to '
our own laud, from Greece, to Holy Poland, is it ,
volcanic crußt, beneath which sleeps a lava which !
will burst forth in torrents at the upheaving of Ita- i
ly. Four years ago, tho insurrection ot Sicily was
followed by ten European revolutions, twenty Eu
ropean revolutions wdi follow ours—all bound by
one compact, ail sworn to one fraternal aim. Me
have friends even in the ranks of the armies who
rule us ; there aro entire peoples, whose alarum
cry will answer to yours. The national democ
racies ot Europe form ono organized camp.”
In the proclamation accredited to Kossuth, we
read much of the same sort: “From Rome to the
land ot the Sicilians—from the J ura to the country
bevond the Rhine—all the people unite ia one cry
| shouting ’mid the clang of millions in arms, “Le’t
God be the judge : down with the tyrants ; long
live the liberty of the people—long live r-nr coun
try
Here is a specimen of the empty yargyn, which
tempted the poor Milanese to nutter like caged
birds against the iron bars which confine them,
and betrayed them up to disastrous failure, and a
cruel fate* Most sincerely are they to be piled.
Theirhapless fortune, forcibly recalls the bloody
forfeit, which the Cuban liberators paid as the
price of a similar deception.
Yet gloomy as this result has been, we fear that
the masses ot Europe will have to pass through
tho same ordeal many times again. Even could
thev beat down the forests of bayonets which
bristle around them on every side, could they level
the fortresses of royalty, and wreak upon their
possessors, the pent up vengeance of a thousand
years, the liberty thus achieved would crumble in
their very grasp, ignorant, their moral indepen
dence debased bv long servitude, can such men
construct or hold together the elements of a free
Government ? They seem to believe that the task
is done, when the existing governments are blotted
out. and that a newly born and permanent liberty
will bloom spontaneously on spots fertilized by the
blood of tvranuy.
How little do they dream of that long and pa
tient training, that gradual coalescing of timely
and moderate points of progress, which we know
to be absolutely essential to the permanence of
1 free institutions.
1 It is indeed a melancholy lask to follow out these
! reflections in their legitimate sequences. They
I forbid us to hope for any durable results from the
j spasmodic thrones of Europe. Military despotisms
j are the natural fruits of such revolutions.—Charles
| ton Mercury.
The Baltimore schooner Manchester, which ar- j
rived at Kew York on Friday from Kingston, j
Jamaica, reports having been boarded, when i
twenty miles east of Cape Antonio, by twenty men
belonging to a Spanish Cruiser, who took possession
of the vessel, conveyed her inside the reef, and,
atter overhauling her papers, broke open the
batches, took cut about a third ot her cargo, and
even went so far as to undertake to break open the
letters of her consignees. After a detention of
twenty-four hours, being unabie to find anything
to confirm their suspicions, the Spaniards demand
ed thirty dollars of tbe captain of the Manchester
for safely piloting him through the reef, and
then permitted him to find the way out in any
manner he could.
The Ericsson is now undergoing certain im
provements in her machinery at the dock in Wil

tered, has arisen from the want of a perfect con
nection of two sections ot an air pipe, near the bot
tom of one of the cylinders. Though connected
by rivets, the working of the engine prevented
such a perfect nnion of the parts as to allow of the
full use es the power otherwise avai able. It is
said that it has been determined to substitute a
single casting for tbe defective parts, mid that the
difficulty will be obviated at once. This change is
now being made.

The Gardiner Trial.
Washington. March 11*.—Captain Waiter was
I recalled; and having refreshed his memory by re
ference to papers, gave farther testimony as to
dates Sec.
1 1 M. Bowers, Artist, was recalled, aud euiighteu
. j ed the Conn as >o localities, modes ot travelling,
and distance:, in Mexico, ana testified o the gen
l eral accuracy of the treaty map. Has resided in
Mi xioo for 11 years past. Has visited the princi
-1 pal cities and towns m the republic. Met Geo. A.
Gar liner in ti e port of Mazatian in ’4*s. at a res
taurant, where both look their meals. Met him
daily at the dinner table. Gardiner spoke of hav
ing just returned from a trip up the Gulf of Cali
fornia. Thinks he -aid he had been to the port
j of Unayama. Spoke of his having taken up a
; small quantity of goods, and having sold them to
'] advantage A iso, spoke of having intent on of
going to some port in South America to engage in
the c asting trade, purchasing goods in South
I America aud selling them in Mexican ports.—
I Gardiner said he bad spoken of his project to
: merchants in Mazatian. Thinks he mentioned
! the house of Mutt, Talbott & Co., and that to car
: ry on the business profitably he needed more
j funds than he possessed. On one occasion, j
: about the time the w,r was breaking out, one of ;
his friends said to him, “Gardiner, are yon not j
j afraid, being an American, of travelling about this i
republic in these troublous times f He answered >
j he was not afraid, as he did not travel as an
American but as a Spaniard ; that his knowledge
of the ripani-h language was such, that no person
1 could possibly know trom his speech that tie was
; a foreigner. Witness remembered this dis
| tinetly, because ho had never before known a n
j American travelling in Mexico as a Spaniard;
j never knew a foreigner in Mexico to speak Span
; is it better than Gardiner. His accent was per
| feet. His interviews with him at Mazatian were
I in May or June ’46. Never met him again uutil !
1 they met uu board a Britisii steamer at Vera ;
I Cruz, on the fifth of January last.
Witt c»s was cross-examined, aud gave manx
interesting and accurate details regarding places’, j
dialect and other tilings in Mexico. !
Wm. Angus and Ben. E. Green both testified to
haviig seen Dr. Gardiner iu the city of Mexico,
from ’42 to the spring of'44, practising dentistrv.
So tar us witnesses were able to judge ho had no
other business nerother means of getting a living.
Gar.liner, when about leaving tiie place, applied to
Green for letters to officers of American vessels of
V iron the Pacific, to give him a free passage to
South America. Gardiner left shortly after.
The prosecution to-day finished the first branch
of tlieir evidence, and the Court adjourned to
Monday.
Washington, March 21.—Tiie Gardiner trial
was resumed this morning. Dr. Davis, the lion.
George Evans and Colonel O. Payne were recalled
and identified a paper in Spanish, purporting to
be the title deed ol’ George A. Gardiner to his
mine in San Luis Petosi. Also, translations of
the -nine as having been before the Board of Com
missioners. ■ After -0111 c argument, the Court de
cided that tiie paper showing Gardiner's title to
tiie mine, with minute descriptions, was admis
sible, and that the translations may bo rend to the
jury.
Captain Edward Berry was sworn, and testified
that since Gardiner had been indicted, lie hud
visited tne region of Laginualas, iu the Depart
ment of Rio Verde, .State of San Luis Potosi, the
alleged locality of the mine, for the purpose of as
certaining whether a mine could be found. He
was proceeding to give the result of his inquiries,
but the counsel lor the defence objectod. The
point was argued until the adjournment.
Washington, March 22.—The Gardiner ease 1
was resumed to day. The Court was occupied till '
nearly 4 qjclock in listening to tiie argument ot
counsel on the question of the admissibility of ,
Mr. Barry’s testimony defining tho boundaries of
Laquinillas county, from the hearsay definitions
of residents. This is the county in which Gardi
ner’s mines were alleged to bo situated. This evi 1
deuce was ruled out. Mr. Barry was re-called, ,
and testified that lie had examined the county
up and down, over and across, and could uot find
traces of any mine. 1
It is stated that Kennedy before he sued out the ■
writ ot replevin, demanded the boot s nd papers
which lie claimed as private property, and the De-
Bow objected to tlieir removal. That having
obtained possession of them lie romoved the books i
and loft the manuscript locked up in the office.
Washington, Marcli 23.—The Census Bureau is
about being re-organized. The clericalforce is to .
be increased to about forty, by reinstatements and 1
perhaps new appointments.
G. W. Featherstonhaugh has to-day posted a
Mr. Eaton, of Wisconsin, as a liar, knave, scoun
drel and coward, because he did uot resent a cow
hiding, &c.
The Gardiner ease was resumed this morning,
with tiie examination of Captain Barry. He do- 1
scribed, from personal exploration, the whole re
gum of Leguuillas, where Gardiner states his
mine to havebeei located. It is an extremely moun- <
tuitions and wild country, und the roads leading to 1
it very bud. Thoy are principally mule paths und
utterly impassible for carriages.’ Steam engines
and other mining aparatus would liavo to be car
ried on the backs of mules—to do which netliouht <
impossible. s
lie could find nothing resembling a mine, and
nothing of the scoria of a mine iu the country,
lie had free access t tho records of the prefects
und Alcsdos, hut could find no record of silver 1
mines. lie understood that Dr. Gardiner was 1
there, in the house of Don Jose Paudo, when he
and the commissioners were there. He went to
Pando with two commissioners to notify Dr. Gar
diuer that tho commissioners had arrived, and ]
would be glad to have him show them his mine. 1
Tiie Court ruled all the conversation with Paudo
out, as Gardiner was not present, though the
prosecution said they would lollow it up by evi- i
dence showing that Gardiner was in an adjoining ,
room and heard it. Tho Court then adjourned.
Washington, March 23.—The Gardiner ease was
resumed in tiie Criminal Court to-day. Hon. Geo.
Evens, wishing to return home, was recalled, and
identified several papers as having been filed with
the Board by Dr. Gardiner n evidence. Theconn
sel for the defence proposed to interrogate him as 1
to tiie mode of proceeding upon tho claim, and the
reasons by which tiie Board were governed in ma
king tiie award. Tho counsel for the prosecution
obj -ctod, but the Court overruled the objection on
the ground that tho winesses for tho prosecution
had already opened tho subject, and it was there
fore too late to close tiie door to the defonce. Mr.
Evans then proceeded to give a detailed account of
tiie action of the Board of Commissioners, and the
reasons which influenced tlieir decision.—The
counsel for Gardiner pressed them hard to make
an early decision, assigning as a reason that ho was
entirely without means; had lost everything and
owod a good deal in Mexico, and wanted to maki
a-speedy adjustment with his creditors. They said
it was necessary for him to go to Mexico among
other things, to get more proof if more was want
ing, and that he bad not the money to do so. That
if l e claim could be declared valid so far as to
make it appear reasonable to money lenders, he
could borrow what lie wanted.
The Board nevertheless thought there was some
thing suspicious in the very statement of the case
—the magnitude of the claim—the fact that Gardi
ner had been engaged in other business and took
lip an abandoned mine without means; his great
expenditures in getting under way, and his enor
mous profits. About all these matters Gardiner
was carefully interrogated; his papers were again
and again examined, and counsel consulted. More
time was devoted to the investigation of this than
to any other case. Every means their ingenuity
could suggest were used to detect errors or incon
sistencies, and arrive at facts. The Commissioners
were all ot the opinion that the case was very
strongly proved indeed. The rules of the Board
were all conformed to, which showed the regular
ity of this prooceeding andtheability of his coun
sel, Messrs. Corwin, Thompson and others. His
counsel pre untod several arguments, one in tho
hand writing of Corwin, another by Thompson
and others oral. Tlio award when announced prov
ed very unsatisfactory to Gardiner’s counsel, and
up to tlio last hour of the session the Board were
repeatedly urged to re-open the case and hear ar
guments as to the amount. The Board tried to
get better evidence from Mcvico, regarding this
and other claims, but could not. Tlioy consulted
the Mexican Minister, Sosa, without learning any
thing of couseqitenco. They considered the testi
mony expurte and suggested to President Taylor
the appointment of some agent to go to Mexico to
summon more witnesses and test the validity of
various claims. President Taylor recommended
this to Congress, but the only notice taken of it
was an attack, by a newspaper here, on Gen, Tay
lor, charging him with seeking to get a placo for
some friend.
Cap*. Burry was recalled to day and cross-exam
iued. Capt. William W. Hunter, U. S. navy, was
sworn, and testified that ho visited Laguuillas in
search of Gardiner’s mine, but found none. Be
fore his examinotion was concluded the Court ad
journed till Saturday.

The French kilogramme is equivalent to 22,055
i lbs. avoirdupois. In reducing tho kilogramme to
j hags, it is assumed that the averrage weight of a
: bag is 200. kilogrammes (equivalent to 441 lbs.
j advoirdupois.) To ascertain, therefore in lbs., tho
i quantity of cotton annually consumed in France,
one has but to multiply the number of bags given
in the table by 441.
The table does not indie- tethe quantity of cotton
annually imported into France. The figures re
presenting the imports from the United States do
not represent the whole quantity of American cot
! ton cor fumed in the country, but only the quan
tity imported directly from American into French
ports tor French consumption. It is certain that
a considerable quantity of cotton of American ori
gin loaches France through other foreign ooan
j tries.— i>av. Rep.
Growth of Nashville
In IS4O, the population of Nashville was six
J thousand nine hundred; in 1550 it was sixteen
i thousand; now it is estimated variously from
i eighteen thousand to twenty-three thousand, and
| it is probably actually about twenty thousand. —
Great changes have recently taken place in the
elements of its growth. A few years ago scarcely
anything was manufactured here, otherwise than
by hand-labor. Now, various steam engines are
throwing up their columns of black smoke in dif
ferent parts of the city, and almost everything is
being manufactured by improved labor-saving
machinery. A few years ago we were importing
our cut-stone from Cincinnati. Now the finest
Italian, Tennessee and other marbles, are being
i Miwed and polished by steam and horse power in
I the city, and the elegant and costly products are
i supplied in large quantities to purchasers at a dis
: tance. Meantime,. engine shops, planing mills,
| trip-hammers, car factories, wagon and plough sac-
I tories, furniture shops, &c., driven by steam,
i with powerful and improved machinery, are
' springing into existence in Nashville and South
Nashville, and the hundreds of skilled laborers
and artisans employed in them, increase the con
; sumption of the farmer’s products, and keep the
masons and carpenters employed in famishing new
tenements to house them. The hotels are filled
I with strangers, reaching us daily by railroad and
otherwise. The wholesale business of the city has
| probably been doubled within the last few years.
; The grocery business has been immensely - en
j larged. The" retail drygoods houses inform us that
! their business has been greatly increased. The
i oity is now as full of population ; s an egg is of
meat. New buildings are rapidly going up,
both in the city and the suburbs, and the demand
is still for more houses. Nashville, tl.emostbeaa
tiful a d pleasant city in the Mississippi Valley,
has just fairly began to grow.— Banner.

Albany and Savannah Railroad. —F. P. Hol
combe, Esq., Chief Engineer of the Savannah and
Albany Railroad Company, visited Albany in the
early part of tho present weok, and from that gen
tleman wo learn the following particulars of the
survey. A liuc was completed from Savannah to
two different crossings on the Altamaha, some two
weeks since. The distance is fifty miles—seven
miles less than appears by Bonner’s map of Geor
gia. Ono of these crossings is in tho upper part
of Mclntosh, and the othor, above, in Liberty
county. Another favorablo crossing may bo ob
tained in Tattnall county, near the month of the
Ohoopee river. Tho two lines havo boon con
nected on tho west of the Altamaha, and tho sur
vey has proceeded about forty-fivo miles in the
direction of Albany. Tlio whole route is, so fur,
very favorable—no cut or fill, except near the A1
tamalia crossing, exceeding ten feet. The extreme
grade is thirty feet to the mile, and even this is
seldom necessary. The country is very level, and
tho line almost without curves.
The distance from Albany to Savannah by this
road will bo, Mr. Holcombe thinks, not much, if
any, over one hundred and eighty miles.

DIED,
At Naples, on the 11th of February last, in the sixteenih
year of her age, ANN ELIZABETH, the youngest daugh.er
of the Hon. George W. Crawford, of lielair.
But a few months since this eminently lovely young girl
left her home in Georgia in company with her parents, her
brother and sister, on a visit to Europe. Passing on their
way to Naples the family were detained a tew days at Mal
ta by her indisposition, which seemed, however, to pass
away, and they continued their course to Messina, which
was accomplished without any apparent inconvenience.—
On the voyage, however, from thence her (ever returned :
hey reached Naples on the 4th, where the best medical
skill availed nothing, and on the 11th, her spirit returned
to God who gave it.
The many friends of the bereaved parents, the young
companions of her who has paused away, while ior them
selves they feel the bitterness of this dispensed n, feel also
how unavailing is that sympathy, sincere though it be,
whica is all they can offer.
On the 20th of February, at the residence of her son,
Is. a. Dove, Esq., Mrs. ELIZA BE HI H. BROWN, in the 65th
year of her age. Th. deceased was a native of Edgefield
District, S. C-, and an exemplary member r.f the Methodist
Episcopal Church As a mother, devoted and indulgent,
and a« a friend, faithful and sincere. A Fkiesd.

COTTON.—When we closed our last weekly report, the
market was very firm, with a good demand at full prices.
The next day, Wednesday, however, the demand became
less active, and on Thursday there wis an evident giv ng
away in prices, which continuei throughout Friday and
Saturday, when the rates had receded # cent on all de
scriptions. Yesterday and to-day there has been appa
rent a better feeling, but prices have not advanced, and
the market closes without animation. There is, however,
little doing since the decline, as holders refuse generally to
place their stocks on the market in it’s present condition.
The receipt* are very light, anil the opinion la becoming
pretty geneial that most of the crop, within the range of
thU market has been received. We annex the followii g

TRADE AND BUSINESS, —The operations In trade dur
ing the week have been limited. The stock of Goods, how
ever, are large—unusually heavy for the season—and pur
chasers find no diOl.ulty in supplying themselves on satis
factory terms.
O ROCERIES.—In the Groocry trade there has been only
a moderate business going forward. The additions to the
stocks have rendered them very complete and extensive.
In Coffee, Sugar and Iron we note no change. Sales of
New Orleans Molasses have been mado at 81 cents on
the wharf, and we have altered our quotations according
ly. For the current rates in other articles, we would refer
to quotations.
PROVISIONS.—The Bacon market continues dull, with a
daily increasing stock. We hear of no sales and our quo
tations are nominal. A large lot could not be sold at them.
The Flour market is well supplied, and Country Flour is
dull at our quotations.
GRAIN.—The increased supply of Corn, inthcface of a
limited demand, has rendered the article dull at our quo
tations. For Wheat, there fs a good demand, and our quo
tations are readily obtained.
NAILS.—The price of Nails has slightly declined and we
have made our quotations conform to the current rate.
SALT has also declined a little. The stock is ample
and demand limited.
EXCHANGE —The Banks supply checks on tho North
at * per cent premium.
FREIGHTS.—Tho River continues in line navigable
condition and freights are the same as last quoted.

Extract of letters rooeivod by tho Asia.
. 7-IIKRPOOL, March 11,—Our last circular advices were
issued on the 4th inst., per Canada, reporting a quiet cot
ton market, and estimated the sales of that day at 7000
bales. On Saturday the trade continued to buy moderate
ly, puces were steady, and tlie business amounted to 6000 i
bales. On Monday the demand was limited, without
change in rates, the absence of later American advices ,
causing a general Indisposition to operate, and the sales i
only footed up 5000 bales. On Tuesday wo wero placed in
possession of the Niagara’s advices, which reported very j
heavy receipts at the American ports, and proportionate
estimates for the crop. This caused a very dull feeling in
our market, and barely 3500 bales were sold, at s»d W lb.
decline. On Wednesday and Thursday the market was
very freely supplied by holders, and in some instances
stocks were pressed for *ale; the business only resulted,
however, in sales of 6000 and 4000 bales respectively, the i
market closing g oomily at $ fl>. decline on last ,
r riday s rates; this reduction, however applies more par- <
ticu-larly to the middling and lower qualities.
The total sales of the week amount to 40,880 bales, of ,
which 1410 are to speculators and 4580 to exporters, and j
include 84,220 bales of American, of which 1860 are to (
speculators and 8920 to exporters, leaving at,890 hales of
all kinds to the trade.
The import for the same time is 140,984 bulei, of which ,
107,491 are American.

To-day the market lias been dull; holders offer very 1
freely, but the irade onlv purchase to meet their pressing
wants. The sales amount to 40u0 bales, of which 1000 are b
to speculators and exporters, the market closing with a ,
downward tendency.
This week all the causes which we have so often alluded ,
to of late as likely to exercise a depressing influence upon j
the cotton market, have been brought Into action, and the
result has proved as we anticipated, for the advices tffl
Niagara of such enormous receipts at the porlß have sha- a
keu the confidence here even of the most sanguine, and,
as a supply considerably in excess of the possible require- t
ments of the year is now generally acknowledged us certain |.
to come forward 'o this country, an increased desire on the
part of h Hers has been daily manifested throughout the s
week, considerably heightened by the Important addition 1
of 104,184 bales, which the week’s Import of 140,984 bales
has made to the stock in this port. Respecting the proba- 4
Ole future course of the market, we have as yet little or c
nothing to add to our previous views upon the subject, for
with such conclusive evidence of a supply beyond the con- 4
sumption of the present, and, in the absence of any doUDt c
as to the supply of next year, we cannot perceive the pro
bability of any early re-action in prices, provided die re- B
ceipts at the ports continue to Indicate a crop of 8,250,000 ,
to 3,500,000 bales; whilst, should the latter figure be real
ised and the prospect of the next crop continue good, we g
should be inclined to look forward to a still lower stand- c
ard of prices, inasmuch as the ruling price of 6M'd. 1? lb. ,
for middling Orleans during the excitement in October last
was < btained under a prevailing idea that the crop would t
prove less than last year’s—and, until within a month ago, |
few believed here in a crop above 8,100,000 bales—so that
the ices ruling up to that period must not be considered
as arising from any very flattering prospects of trade in
the manufacturing districts, indicated by free purchases on
the part of spinners, but from a disinclination on the part
of hotders to sell, under an impression that such a crop
would not prove sufficient to supply the increased con
sumption going on.
The Manchester Market has been very flat throughout
the week, at lower prices, buyers merely give out their
pressing orders, holding others in abeyance for a more
settled cotton market.
The Grain market has ruled very dull during the week,
large arrivals have taken place, and the demand being
limited, lower prices for all articles must be accepted to
effect sales.

HAVRE, March 9.— Messrs. Editors -Our market clos
ed on Tuesday without activity, under the effect of the
advices per Canada, which announced five or six more
ships leading for Havre. The position did not improve on
Wednesday, sales scarcely reaching 800 bales, and prices,
if anything, a shade lower. Thursday being a holiday,
our transactions were limited to 800 bales, sold at the
opening of the market without change as to prices, and
we learnt that night the arrival of the Atlantic with
dates to the 19th from New York, and to the 18th ult.,
per telegraph, from New Orleans, which announced a
turther decline in all the markets of the Union ; as also
a new increase in the figure of receipts, in consequence
of which, on Friday, our transactions were exceedingly
limited, waiting the delivery of the mail, and did not ex
ceed G O bales. On Saturday, as the letters had an
nounced four more ships for our port, and a considerable
number of clearances, our market remained heavy, with
only 700 or 800 bales, and prices in favor of buyers. On
Sunday we received the Liverpool report, with the advices
from Manchester, which were far from encouraging. On
Monday, waiting the arrival of the Niagara, we commenced
the week with a very slack demand, sales not exceeding
800 bales, ami without any regularity in prices, and yes
terday the sales did not reach TOO bales, and our quota
tions were barely supporttd. To Bum up, the sales of the
week are limited to 4274 bales,against 8864 bales imports;
our stock, therefore, is valued at 84,088 bales, of whicli 82,-
867 bales United States.
P. B.—Since the receipt of the dispatch announcing a
dull market in Liverpool, after the arrival of the Niagara,
transaction were at a complete stand.
The following were the saleß Effected, viz:—2,s9o bales
New Orleans, at 85 a :o<f.; 841 Mobile, 90 a 100; 1,076
