Tho hog markot, says the Louisville Journal of tho 2d inst., continues very dull. A packer offered $4 60 for 400 head heavy. The product market is also very dull. The Cincinnati papers make the fol lowing report of tho market on Thursday, the 31gt ult.: The market was quite dull to-day, and the demand limited, buyers generally holding hack. Tho sales were as follows: 400 head averaging 176 lbs. at... 54 62 120 “ “ 180 “ 4 62 320 “ <• 185 •’ 4 76 450 “ “ 170 “ 4 62 90 “ “ 190 “ 4 68 400 “ “ 200 •• 4 75 200 “ 2OO “ 4 76 Provisions Prices drooping.

The lady promenaders on the Avenue at Washington, says the Petersburg Ex press, on Monday morning, wero some what horrified at the appearance of a distinguished foreigner, who held up her dress so as to display an undoubted scar let flannel under-skirt. What an idea ! Yet these same peasant petticoats are now all the rage across tho water. Queen Victoria brought them to Loudon from her Balmoral palace in the llighlauds of Scotland, about two years ago, and last year they were adopted by the Em press Eugenie. Os course they are ala mode, thoso of alternate narrow stripes of fed and black flannel being nio"o distingue than the plaiu scarlet. Silks and satiu nre to bo no longer trailed in the mud, and tho ladies whe wish to be ala mode should not otily provide themselves at once, but practice gathering up tlioir dresses in graceful folds, so as to display about a foot of the bright-colored under skirt. All of which is respectfully sub mitted. Bank Dividends. The Charleston Courier of the 4th inst., says: “The Bank of Charleston, Peo ple's Bank, Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank, Union Bank, South Carolina Bank and State Bank, have declared dividends amounting in tho aggregate to ninety eight thousand eight, hundred and thirty one dollars. The whole amount of tho dividend of the People’s Bank—which, ns inoluded in the above amount, is twenty thousand four hundred dollars—is forty thousand dollars, or at the rate of eight percent, per annum. Large Negro Hiring. One hundred and ten negroes were hir ed out on Tuesday, 29th ult., at Towns ville, in the State of North Carolina.— Prices much below those paid at the same place last year. Only two out of the nnmber exceeded one hundred dollars.— efficient field hands hired generally from $76 to SB6. Women, but few, if any, reaching fifty dollars. Defending Commodore Paulding. Unfortunately for the welfare of this country, party spirit runs to such a height as to prevent the two great politi cal parties, into which the people arc divided, from ever uniting in harmony upon any question of general interest: and no matter how much the ■safety and prosperity of the country may de mand that there should be unity of senti ment upon a given question, divisions arise, and the leaders of one party take one side of that question, and the leaders of the other party take the other. We have never seen this proposition more fully illustrated than it has been in the Nicaragua question. When it was an open question, and the leaders of neither party had been committed in any way towards it, the people, as a general thing, at the South, were favorable to the enter prise, but when one party took it up and defended it, the other party forthwith arrayed itself against it, and have fought it, if not manfully, at least with a viru lance, that showed they had a hatred of it in their souls. When Walker was fit ting out his expedition in the United States, and raising men and money for his enterprise, we were disposed tc look upon the opposition manifested against him by certain parties, as the honest convictions of their minds that he was violating the neutrality laws of our Gov ernment; and we could even regard with some degree of charity their approbation the course of the Government, in its strenuous efforts to prevent the departure of the expedition, but the attempt to de fend the high handed and unwarrantable act of Commodore l’aulding, in invading a foreign territory, and forcibly abduct ing not only citizens thereof, but the legally elected President, we can view in no other light than blind and vindictive party spirit. Iu the first place, we do not believe that Walker violated any law of the Uni ted States, in anything he did while here. He was, and is, de jure., if not de facto, the head of the Nicaraguan Government, having been elected as such by the peo ple thereof, nnd, os such, had a right to return when and how ho pleased, and if citizens of the United States saw proper to return with him, no power on earth, except the power with which he was at war, lmd tho right to say aught against it. The people of the United States have a right to emigrate wherever they please, at the invitation of the legal authority of the government to which they propose to emigrate, and they have tho right to take with them arms and ammunition for their defense, and any interference with them on the high seas, or any where else, by any power, is a violation of the law of nations, nnd should be rebuked iu such a manner as to present a repetition of such an outrage. Yet, notwithstanding this, we find some of the press of the country, and we regret to see among them some of the presses of Georgia, defending the course of Commodore l’aulding, in forci bly abducting Gen. Walker and his men from their Government, when they were in a fair way of regaining the position they had been previously deprived of by the meddlesome interference of a U. S. Naval officer. The Savannah Republi can, which is ever severo in its censuro upon any act of public polity that the Democracy approve, has a long and la bored article iu its issue of Tuesday, in which it attempts to show that Commo dore l’aulding has committed no wrong, and therefore should not be punished by tho Administration. It contends that Walker had no rights, and, if any offence had been committed, it was against the Government of Nicaragua, and that un less that Government complained against Commodoro Paulding, he should not be held responsible for his act; and that the Government is under no obligation to Walker whatever, for the outrage commit ted upon him by one of its officers, and he could claim uo indemnity at its hauds, not even restitution to the status in which he was found. Such a monstrous and unjust position ought to politically damn any paper or party that would occupy if Tho citizen of a country have no rights therein, and because he attempts to re turn and occupy the position to which he is justly and legally entitled, to forfeit all claims to humanity! Outrageous. We cannot say, however, that we are surpris ed at the course of the llesublican, for it is characteristic of the press opposed to the Democracy to oppose everything ap proved by them. It should have occu pied, however, more tcnablo ground, in upholding the conduct of the “honorable old soldier,” as it is pleased to designate Commodore Paulding. We will endeavor to recur to this subject again, when wo will show vory conclusively, to an unpre judiced rniud, that Walker had rights, and that our Government was bound to respect them, and that Commodore Pauld ing, in pursuing the course he did, was not only unjustifiable, but committed an offence against the laws of nations, which imperatively demands that he should be court-martialled and dismissed from the service. The followiug gentlemen, says the Sa vannah Republican of the 6th inst., were elected, yesterday, President and Direc tors of the Central Rail Road and Bank ing Company, for the ensuing year. It is the old Board without change: R. R. Cutler, President. niRKCTORS: J. W. Anderson, J. R. Wilder, Andrew Low, J. B. Gallie, Thomas Purse, W. R. Fleming, W. Crabtree, F. G. Dana. Gten. Can on Kauiai. The Secretary of State sent a letter to the Philadelphia meeting on Monday night to endorse thejAdministration. The General thinks the best solution of the Kansas difficulty, as it stands, is for Con gress to pass a law for the conversion of the Territory into a State, and to admit it into the Union under a constitution formed in pursuance of lawful authority, as prominently put forward in the Presi dent’s message. GENERAL ITEMS. Charles Fenno Hoffman, the poet, who Las been for some time past an inmate of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, will, it is hoped, be soon rostored to his position in society. Thomas Kady, whilst intoxicated, on Friday last, was caught by the cow-catch er on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, at Piedmont, and literally torn to pieces. The shipments of flour from Richmond to South America, during the month of December, amounted to 36,249 barrels, the value of which may be set down, in round numbers, at $250,000. The New York papers say that there is more gold and silver in circulation in that city at the present than was ev er before known. 1 Senator Sumner has recently written to intimate friends in Boston, stating posi tively that he does not intend resigning his seat in the United States Senate. Jessie Meritou White, the Euglish girl imprisoned at Genoa for her enthusiasm iu the cause of Mazzini and Italian liber ty, has been released. The Texas Legislature has passed a bill which allows free persons of color who may desire it to select masters and become slaves. M’iie Rachel, it is stated, is recovering. She has resolved, however, to abandon the stage forever, and intends to send her theatrical wardrobe and jewelry to the United States to be sold. The value of the same is stated at $125,000. The number of emigrants arrived at the port of New Y’ork during the year 1857, was 183,228 —an increase of 40.886 as compared with 1856.

Foote, late of Cali fornia, designs settling permanently in Memphis. A festival came off in New York on Sat urday, in compliment to Tlialberg the pi. auist. The receipts ou the occasion were $5,000 —some choice seats selling for SB. Some emigrants recently crossing the plains found two dogs lying by one of the many graves which marked the spot of recent massacres, that had watched upon the spot until they were emaciated almost to skin and bone. Nothing could induce them to quit the place. The exercises in the Columbia (S. C.) College commenced on Monday. Several studonts were in town, and the Faculty was ready for its onerous duties. Pro fessor Venable arrived in Columbia on Saturday. Jenny Lind recently gave a concert at Dresden, and such was the desire to hear her that an American had to pay S7O to secure a couple of tickets. One hundred and ninety-eight thousand hogs were killed around the falls nnd in pens at Louisville, up to the 30th. The committee of “merchants of New Y’ork,” who procured the magnificent ser vice of plate for Hon. William L. Marcy, have given to the widow of the late Sec retary an order on Messrs. Tiffany & Cos. for the delivery of the same. Mrs. Mar cy has written a letter accepting the pre sent. The Journal of Commerce publishes a statement by which it appears that the total imports of dry goods at New York for the past year are $90,534,429 —being $2,828,764 less than for the year 1856, but $25,560,067 more than for 1855, and $9,691,193 more than the total for 1854. A writer in one of the Magazines starts a story that the real Louis Napoleon died in a fit in a drinking house in New York, and that a Yankee named Bowen, who had long been his companion in dissipa tion, assumed his name, sailed for Eu rope, attended Queen Hortesne as her son in her dying moments, and is now the Emperor. Great match of Billiards between Michael Phelan and Ralph Benja min, of Sew York, for $4,000 —the Match Won by Phelan. The long talked of match of billiards, which has excited the amateurs of bil liards, came off last night, at the billiard rooms corner of Twelfth and Chestnut streets. The match terminated at so late an hour that we can scarcely do more than chronicle the result. JTlie play com menced about half-past six, and was not concluded until ten minutes past eleven o’clock, during which time eleven games were played. The game selected was the French carom game of sixteen points in each game. The table was the ordinary full size six-pocket table, this being the most difficult to play ou, and giviug him some advantages. It was brought from McCormick’s billiard room, Broad and Chestnut, nnd was a very handsome spe cimen of O’Conner Collenden’s make, with Phelan’s patent combination cush ions. The first three games were played with considerable caution on either side, but after that Phelan played with his ac customed dash, aud we may add, his in variable success. Phelan won the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth games, and in this game .beating his adversary by ten points, winning also the tenth and eleventh games, Benjamin only winning two out of eleven, the third and ninth.— The match was to be decided by the win ning of the greatest number of games out of sixteen, and on the deciding game being concluded, there were three rounds of applause giveu for Phelan and New Y’ork, which seemed to give considerable annoyance to the vanquished party.— There were about oue hundred and fifty persons in the room, composing all the chief amateurs from New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.—i’Ai/urff/p/ua Press, Dec. 31. _ It is stated that General Scott has been summoned to another consultation in reference to the Utah expedition. Tho Secretary of War and Gen. Persifer F. Smith are in favor of the immediate em ployment of volunteers from the CalL„r nia side. Gen. Scott has hitherto, it is said, not approved such a movement. It will, however, be resorted to, especially in view of the vigorous opposition which the proposed four new regiments of regu lar troops will encounter in Congress. From tho Times’ Money Article, 16th European Finances. The quotations of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille premium, and the short ex- ; change on London is 25 20 per £ sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. lOld. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2 lOths percent, dearer in Loudon j than in Paris. At Hamburg, owing to the commercial derangements, no foreign exchange quo tations have been published. The quotation of the exchange at New Y’ork ou London for bills at 60 days’ sight is about 109 per cent, for first-class pa per. At the present rate of discount here there is consequently no profit on the transmission of gold from this country to the United States. The English funds have been dull throughout the day. Consols, which af ter regular hours yesterday left off at 9J to 9jj, opened at 911-to 91 J, and remained without the slightest alteration to the official close. Subsequently there was a better tendency, and transactions took place ot 91$. In the Stock Exchange loans on Gov ernment securities were obtainable at 5 per cent, for short periods, and at 0 to 7 per cent, till the dividends. At the Bank there is still an active demand, but in the open market tho choicest bills can be ne gotiated nt 9J- to per cent. Iu tbe foreign exchange this afternoon the rates on Paris were lower than last post ; Hamburg was nominally about the same, but little business was transacted. Prime bills on Amsterdam were in de mand at a fraction below previous quota tions. Tho final prices of the French Three per cents, on the Paris Bourse this even ing, were 66f. 40c. for money, and 66f. 65c. foa the end ot the month, showing a fractional decline. About £210,060 of gold was taken to Ihe Bank to-day. £IIO,OOO was Austra lian, and a great part of the remainder Russian. The letters from Paris state that the stock of bullion in the Bank of France continues to increase, and that all mer cantile houses are still restricting their engagements, as much as possible. At Lyons the branch of the bank of France is making advances upon silk at about 50 or 60 per cent, of the market price. The letters from Hamburg of the 13tli inst., are far from describing any general return of confidence. Additional failures were still expected. The total up to the present time is about 140, nnd the dis closures consequent upon them, it is said, “have exposed a system of bill accommo dation to an extent that must sadly lower Hamburg in the eyes of the commercial world ” The liabilities of Messrs. Willey & Cos., silk mercers, whose bills were mentioned as having been returned yesterday, aro about £50,000 Positive statements have been circula ted to-day, of tlie embarrassment of firms in Yorkshire largely connected with the wool trade, which, if confirmed, will be likely to lead to numerous difficulties among smaller houses. The Ottoman Bank has received £42,- 000 in gold from the East. At the Court of Bankruptcy to-day an order was m ade for winding up the Lon don Unadulterated Food Company. An adjournment of the examination meeting was ordered in the case of Messrs. Gotch & Gotch, bankers, of Kettering. Two other cases came before the court, in which small tradesmen had been unfortu nately induced to accept accommodation bills for Messrs. D. & J. M’Donald, of London and Glasgow, whose estate is un der sequestration in Scotland. Horrible Destitution. A woman, named Mary Boyce, died in a celler, in Baker street, Philadelphia, a day or two ago. The following para graph, from the Ledger, tells a painful story of tbe manner in which people live and die in that city : The testimony heard before the Coro ner’s jury disclosed the fact that the cel lar, into which a ray of sunshine never enters, and where the rats dispute posses sion with the occupants, is rented to a female for the sum of ten cents a week, who sub-lets it for lodgings. The deceas ed was a sub-tenant, wholly destitute of the necessaries of life, and being taken sick, had no one to attend to her but a female of Intemperate habits, who was found beastly intoxicated by tbe Coroner and his jury. It was self-evident that the unfortunate woman had died from want, and it was shown that for two days she had been without food. A verdict of “death from want” was rendered. Newspapers. Judge Longstrect, whose views on all subjeefs are practical and worth treasur ing up, thus sets fourth the value of a newspaper : “Small is the sum that is required to patronize the newspaper, aud most amp ly remunerated is the patron. I care not how humble and unpretending the gazette which he takes, it is next to impossible to till it fifty two times a year without putting into it something that is worth the subscription price. Every parent whose son is off from home, at school, should supply him with a paper. I still remember what difference there was be tween those of my schoolmates who had and who had not access to newspapers.— Other thiugs being equal, tho first were decidedly superior to the last in debate and composition at least. The reason is plain, they have command of more facts! Y’outh will poruse a newspaper with de light when they will read nothing else.” v Singular Death from the Bite of a Cat. Mr. John Abel, clerk in the employ of J. B. McCreary and Cos., at Lewis Aude reid’s colliery, at Janesville, Pa., died on the morning of the 27th, from tbe bite of a cat. Tbe circumstances are very sin gular : About ten weeks since, he was walking from tbe dwelling house to the store, wheu he mfct the cat in the path. He put out his hand to play with her, when it | instantly sprang at him and bit him. He . complained a little at the time, but it passed away, and no more was thought i of it. He had at times, howover, a great repugnance to water, and the mere sight of it caused a shuddering sensation. On Christmas day ho dined at the hotel of Mr. David Marti, at Janesville, and ap peared in usual health. On the morning of the 26th he complained of being sick, and at last took to his bed. He suffered I intense agony, trying to bite tho hand which the cat had bitten ten weeks previ ous, and exclaiming that the sight of wa ter made him mad—a raving maniac.— His friends had to hold him to prevent bis tearing his breast. Medical skill proved | of no avail, and at 8 o’clock on the 27th, I Sunday morning, he breathed his last TELEGRAPHIC. TELEDKAPHED TO THE DAILY SUN. ARRIVAL OF TIIK STEAMER ATLATIC. ADVANCE IN COTTON!

WARE. ■C i/’ We cannot refrain from calling tbe atten tion of our readers to an advertisement in this Hay’s paper of tho “Hair Restorative” of Prof. G. J. Wood & Cos., of St. Louis. It will be seen that he has numerous certificates from persons of the high est character, to the merits of his Restorative. From positive knowledge we are also enabled to say, that it is in every sense what it professes to he, and we do not hesitate to pronounce it the finest preparation for the head aud hair which has so far been devised by human ingenuity. We have seen it arrest threatened baldness, and restore to the head its original profusion of natural and glossy hair, and whon the latter has been prema turely tinged with gray, we have seen it, like magic, restore the colors of youth and health. The distinguished property of this, we might truly say, miraculous “ Restorative,” is that it gives to tho person who uses it, the same head of hair that they wore in youth, thus acting iu strict compli ance with the rules of the first and greatest of all toilet makers—Nature. No one who has used it will hesitate to unite with us iu this testimony to its peculiar morit.— Covington (la.) People's Friend.
