COL/Cr MBITS: LAIIUHHT CITY CIRCULATION. Monday Morning, March H, IN3H. I Month Carolina Bank Nolen. Wc learn from the Augusta papers that the Hanks of that city, have determined to charge oue half of one per cent, dis- i count on the notes of the Hanks of South Carolina, except the Hank of Hamburg, nuil those Hauksin the State, that redeem their hills in ooin. The reason for this, is found in the fact, that the Hanks of Charleston charge onr per cent premium for Northern Exchange, while the Hanks in Augusta check at a hat/ por cent. -♦ Krom Halt I^nke. The intelligence from Salt Lake City, ; via California, represents the Mormons | as suffering for want of provisions, cloth ing and dry goods. A party had arrived at the Mohave river in quest of supplies, and with orders to prevent the further emigration of the Saints from San Bern ardino. Two Companies of artillery had been sent to San llernurdino to protect the inhabitants from any violence from the Mormons. Cuba. ,\ Washington correspondent of the j Journal of Commerce says: “We have hoard much and very vaguely, of the purpose of our administration in regard ! to Cuba. It. is not improbable that some j negotiation, looking to the purchase of , Cuba, may be commenced, upon the oc- ; currencc of a favorable oppu-tunity.— | If the object bo favored by the govern ments of France and Croat Crituin, it is not impossible that it will be accomplish ed within Mr. Huchanan’s time. ♦ Fatal Kail Kontl Accident. The Augusta Chronicle learns that a gentleman by the name of McGinniss, of Marion,District, S. C., was run over and killed by a train of cars on the Georgia Kail Itoadon Thursday Inst, near Berzelin. Reports of the manner in which the acci dent occurred are contradictory. Ho had stopped at. Herzelia to take breakfast, and was loft by the train. The most probable account wc have heard is, that he attempt ed to get on a freight train as it was pas ing Herzelia, when ho misssodhis footing, and was run over by the cars. ♦ The Savannah Morning News, of March t lll, says: “At the election for Mayor and Councilmon, which took place in Hniuswick on the Ist inst., C. W. Styles, for Mayor, received seventy eight votes, and the opposing candidate, James llous- i<>ii, seventy-six. The contest between the Councilmcn was Hourly as oloso. All lint two of the Styles, or “Conservative” ticket wero elected, tho highest leading his opponent only six votes.” ♦- Fire on the Ala. A Tenu. Uni road. Wo regret to learn, says the Selma He porter of the sth, that an extra freight train, loaded with cotton, met with a se rious accident on yesterday evening on the Ala. \ Tenn. Rivers Railroad.— When just this side of Gen. Brautly’s plantation, the sparks from the locomo tive set lire to the cotton, and about tliir .ll ve bales were burned before the Dames were arrested. Being in the swamp, and plenty of water handy, the cars were saved. Fire In Llvlngiilim, Ala. We learn from the Livingston (Ala.) Messenger, that anew house, just com pleted, belonging to Mr. George Wilson, was destroyed by’ lire on tho Ist inst., together with nearly all the furniture mul clothing of Mr. Wilson and family. Mr. Wilson hud only moved a portion of his furniture in the house, on Saturday evening previous, intending to complete iiis move on Monday, and alt in the house was burnt. Tho house cost about three thousand dollars. Tho Messenger soys ilie tire was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. ♦— Tho Territorial Committee of the Sen ate have agreed to report a hill to organ ize the Territory of Arizonia, with a north and south boundary, and a provision of fered by Mr. Douglas, that before be coming a State her Constitution shall be submitted to a vote of the whole people of the Territory. Mr. Green, of Mo., submitted an additional provision, that the same principles should apply to New Mexico. The Committee on Territories in the I'nited States Senate will report in favor of calling tho new Territory to be carved out of the Western half of Utah, Nevada, instead of “Carson.” —- It not * fur t lie Princess Royal. One item in the wardrobe of the l’rin cess Royal of England on her marriage, should attract tho attention of Ameri can women and he adopted by them. \ part of her “tit out” was twelve pairs of boots, which nrodescribod as “useful and solid,” some of them, intended for “rough walking, ’’ are provided with tre ble soles. So the Princess Royal appears to be a pretty sensible sort of a gal after all, and goes iu for health and comfort as well as show. We shouldn't wonder if she made Prince Frederick a good, sensi ble wife after all the fuss made about her wedding, and the fulsome flattery heaped upon her. Atrocious Murder iu Florida. We learn from the Tampa l’euiusular, that a most brutal murder was committed m Hillsborough county, on the 16th ult., upon the body of Mr. William L. Rush ing, one of the first settlers of that coun ty, by a man by tlie name of Richard Vickers, a son-in-law of the deceased, and who up to the time of the murder resided in the same house with his fath er iu-law on the most friendly terms. It appears that the parties, together with a sou of the deceased, had been to a country store, and on their return home a dispute arose between the old gentle man and Vickers, when the latter com menced abusing him, nnd on the old man advancing towards him, Vickers pulled out a large knife and stabbed him iu five or six places, causing his death almost immediately. After committing the deed Vickers assisted iu conveying the body home, and remained at the house oue day and two nights, when he absconded nnd has not since been heard from. Tho Foreign News. The Europa, which arrived at Now York on Saturday afternoon, with advi- j ccs from Liverpool to the 2<)th ult., brings encouraging news to the holders of the staple. So large have bocome the accu - mutations of money and so great the anx iety to invest, that cousuls have been taken at ‘J7J, being only 2] per cent, in terest. Whilo this is the case, the dis position to speculation must range high, , and wlion we take into consideration the casing in trade generally, on both sides j of tho water, it looks very much to us as if cotton had not reached its highest point. The stock in Liverpool had been reduced, at the sailing of the steamer, to 230,000 bales, showing the reduction for the week to be 55,000 bales, and that the re ceipts of tho week had only been 12,000 hales. This of course had some effect on ! the market, and possibly influenced both the large sales anil the advance, but some allowance must be made for the plenti fulness of money and tho general im provement and ease of business. The circulars in to-day’s paper, receiv ed by last week’s steamer, are of a very encouraging tone. What effect tho increase of receipts in the cotton ports will have on Liverpool i when they roach there, wc cannot suy, | but buyers would do well to look out for this, and see that their atrangments arc | such as to face a small decline on this ! account towards the first of April, if not precisely on all-fool’s day.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, March 1. The advices from Nicaragua by the “Moso Taylor” are silent in regard to the Vrizarri treaty. It does not appear that there has been any action upon it by tho Nicaraguan government. President Mar tinez had taken time, according to his letter to Mr. Vrizarri, to consider a pro position which, as he said, was life or death to Nicaragua. It does not appear that he has yet come to a conclusion on the question. The story by the previous packet that the Nicaraguan Congress has rutifiod the treaty, is not confirmed. The British government have better luck or judgment in making treaties by which their commerce and manufactures will be promoted. Their last achieve ment in this hemisphere was in Eucador, whereby they have obtained a largo tract of territory for the purpose of plautiug a colony. The consideration is the relin quishment of the claim of British sub jects upon the government of Eucador for advances on government bonds to the amount of seven or eight million dollars. In case of the abrogation of tho Clayton- Bulwer treaty, the British government will not find it difficult to make favorable treaties with tho Contral American States, whereby they will be able to es tablish colonies and promote their trade in that region. Boston Trailr Report. Cotton Goods. —The improved tone of the market for cottou goods noticed last week, has been fully sustained, with a fair enquiry for export and for tho South ern and Western trade. It is now confi dently believed that prices will be fully sustained nnd further advance, especially as our stock of nearly all kinds of goods are quite moderate, and at present prices of the raw material, they can bo man ufactured and sold at a profit. Brown Sheetings are now firm at Bc. for stand aid heavy goods; and we notice a fair demand at this price ; and light sheetings are in demand at 7c. per yard. Bleached Sheetings and Shirtings are selling more freely, and rather better prices Lave been realized. Brown Drills are scarce and firm, and have been in demand for export at BAc. and to tho trado at Bjjo., the late transactions having completely cleared the market, which is now firm at the lat ter rate. Print Cloths continue to meet with a fair enquiry, and are firm at 4jc. for 60z64’s. Prints have been in fair demand with sales to some extent at 8 to lOJc. Stripes, Ticks, Denims and Osna burgs are firm at previous prices, and in rather more demand. Ginghams remain steady at 101 c. with fair sales. DeLaincs continue pretty active, and the sales of the Hamilton, Manchester aud Pacific have been to somo extent to the trade at 17 to 18c. for new styles. Important, If True. A story is in circulation, which tho creditors of Mr. Thomas Alibone, the financial hero of the Bank of Pennsylva nia, would like to be verified. It is to the effect that he is likely to come in pos session of u fortune of two million of | dollars, in right of his wife, who is said j to bo one of the heirs of the great Jeu neus estate, now about to bo distributed j in England, awaiting the appearance of 1 the true heirs. from the Mobile ll(viator. Burning of tin- Steamer Eliza Battle nit the ’Blgbcc Utver—Awful Lou of Life. On Monday morning, Ist inst., between 2 and 3 o’clock, as the Eliza Battle, Capt. j 8. G. Stone, was coming down the Tom bigbee river on her way to Mobile, at a point about forty-five miles below De mopolis, she was discovered to be on fire in the after part. The alarm was imme diately given, und every exertion made ! to arrest the flames, but in vain; for owing to a high wind and the point at which the fire iyrst caught, it communi cated almost instantly with the ladies’ cabin, and cut off all access to the life boat and yawl. All on board were driven to the forward part of the boat, where they remained until the scorching flames drove them into the water. Some were fortunate enough to get bales of cotton, and some sustained themselves by cling ing to the limbs of trees for several hours, until rescued from their perilous posi tion after daylight. It will be remem bered that Sunday night was bitterly cold, and of the 20 or 33 who perished, it is more than probable a majority was frozen to death. The accident occurred, we learn, at a point where the river was swollen over its banks, and spread for half a mile or more into the swampy lowland, und that when an effort was made to reach the shore, the boat came ill contrct with a large tree, which was broken down by the violence of the con cussion, and arrested her progress. There were between 50 and 60 persons on board, and of these, it is stated by some, 29, and by others 33, were lost. Between 1200 nnd 1300 bales of cotton were de stroyed, and the boat burned to the wa ter’s edge. We append the following fuller account from the evening News, of the 3d inst.: The fire had its origin among cotton bales on the after deck under the cabin, and, nlthough the flames made but little progress at first, a strong north wind (al most a gale) soon spread them to all parts of the boat, and tho passengers were com pelled to seek safety for their lives by re treating in their night clothes. The boat was headed for the shore, but the river being high and out of its banks, aud the wheel-ropes burned, a landing could not ho effected. She was, however, driven among the trees, where she lodged until the engines ceased to work, (the intensity of the heat driving the engineers from their posts,) when the passengers were enabled to effect an escape by clinging to the limbs aud branches of trees, and by bales of cottou thrown overboard. After the wheels stopped, tho boat swayed round and was driven across the river by force of the wind. This fortunate cir cumstance probably saved the lives of many of tho survivors, as they must otli erwise have perished in the flames. The mate and pilot, and others, on cot ton bales, floated down the river some four miles, shouting for help before boats could bo obtained. These were then car ried across the river and hauled on wa gons to tho scene of disaster, when the survivors on the trees were carried to land. It is proper to state that all efforts to get to the yawl were rendered fruitless, as tho flames cut oil’ all means of access to it. An attempt was then made to launch the life-boat, but before a suffi cient force could be mustered, the fire again drove the party away. It is duo to Capt. Stone to say, that when assistance arrived he gave orders to save the women uud children first, and was himself the last to be taken off. It will be seen by the statement below, that tlie most of the lost were frozen, having been more or less in the water, and sub jected three or four hours to the cold northern blast. The residenls of the vicinity, as soon as they learned the disaster, rendered what service was iu their power. No cause for tlie fire is known, unless it was by sparks from the steamer War rior, which boat, was met passingto wind ward, about lialfan hour before the flames were discovered. All of the books and papers of the boat were lost, and, with the exception of one or two carpet bags, every particle of bag gage nlso. The Battle belonged to Cox, Brainard & Cos., and was not insured. What the amount of loss is it is impossible to ascer tain The following is a list of those ascer tained to have been lost: Mrs. B. Cromwell and child, frozen— Sumter county. Mrs. H. G. Turner and child, frozen— Washington county. Mr. W. T. Smith, frozen—Greene Cy. Mr. Caradine, frozen—Chickasaw Cy.

Liverpool Cottou Market. We have received our regular Liverpool Cotton Circulars, dated the 12lh ult., by the America, from which wo make the following extracts: Krom Wriglit Junior It Oo.'s Circular. We closed our circular advices of sth instant, per Africa, with a good general demand for cotton, at the quotations of the previous week, the presentopened with a brisk inquiry from ail classes, which has continued to increase daily, aud prices have gradually hardened, until, at the termination of business yesterday, an ad vance of fully Jd. per lb. on the current qualities, ranging from good ordinary to good middling, is established : holders have supplied the market sparingly, and only when extreme rates could be obtain ed, but the profit available on the recent import has induced sales in most instan ces. The position of our stock, and the time that inu-t elapse before any heavy arrivals cau take place to augment it, has a stimulating influence, which is further strengthened hy the iuipresson that it will be difficult to overtake the deficiency in receipts at the American shipping ports, and so furnish this country with more than an average supply. In opposition to the general rule, we take the lead, aud Manchester follows in our upward course, instead of, as is ordinarily the case, our being dependent on their movements; whether this may take a turn, or when, depends chiefly upon later developments, but the continued influx of the precious metals, present and prospective, (which has occasioned a further decline in the Bank rate of interest to 3 per cent.,) is a promising element in support of extend ed trade and enlarged consumption, and doubtless controls the action of buyers generally. India and China advices, mercantile and political, are regarded as satisfactory, and the low rates of Bread stuffs and other necessaries, add to the future encouraging aspect of affairs. An Indian loan of some magnitude, as well as other schemes for absorbing capital, are in the market, but have not yet exercised any effect on the monied in terest. The market closes to-day with buoyan cy, at extreme rates, the sales being es timated at 15,000 bales, 7,000 to specula tors aud exporters. The necessary advance required by Spinners and Manufacturers to cover the additional cost of the raw material iu its effect on Goods and Yarns is but feebly responded to in the Manchester market, but as firmness is the ruling characteris tic, buyers have to yield, and though business is restricted in consequence, iu tlie aggregate considerable sales are ef fected. Krom George Holt A Co.’s Circular. Throughout the week there has been an active Cotton Market, the business transac ted on each day being in excess of the daily rate of consumption, giving evidence of increasing confidence in the present scale of prices. Transactions on so large a scale have almost necessarily given an increased value to the article, our quota tions for all qualities and descriptions of American and also of Surut Cotton being advanced a full Jd. per lb., and even at this advance buyers meet with an exceed ingly limited choice of the middling -and lower grades of American; the “fair” are more abundant, and still relatively the most reasonable qualities offering. Tlie last accounts from the United States were much such as were expected, and consequently had no immediate effect upon our proceedings. The present move seems mainly ‘o come from the trade, who, without stocks of Cotton, and meet ing with a fair and increasing demand in Manchester, have been active operators, some few making extensive purchases with a view to tlie future. The steady decline ia the value of money, and the low rate of interest now established, of fers considerable inducements to specu lators ; but so far, our market this sea son has been remarkably free from spec ulative excitement. From Brown, Shipley A Co.’s Circular. There bus been an active business in Cotton during the past week, at an ad vance of Jd. per lb. on American quali ties. The Trade have taken in tlie week 60,000 bales, Speculators 10,000, and Exporters 8,000 bales. To-day the sales are estimated at 15,000 bales, with about one-half to the Trade, the market closing firmly. Total stock of Cotton iu this port 285,- 000 bales; same time last year 341,000 bales. Trade iu Manchester has improved, but it is thought by many that the great ad vance in Cottou must check it. From Richardson, Spence & Co.’s Circular. The market lias been very animated all the week : and under the influence of the limited selections, holders have daily been able to exact higher prices, aud this afternoon they close Jd. to 5-10d. per lb. above those of last week. Iu Manchester also business lias been active, and a com plete clearance of Stocks has been ef fected. GREAT DISCOVERY!—AmpIe tests, both by able practitioners and chemical analysis, have de monstrated the great value of l*rof. De Grath’b beautiful combination, called * Electric Oil,” for the relief ami cure of pain. Rut the people them selves are rendering their verdict in a manner both unmistakable aud satisfactory.

Father D. has travelled the route several times with light wagons.— lie gives it as his conviction that if the Mormons lea e their present location, they r, ill proceed northward to New Cale donia, British America, aud settle at the base of the Portage Mountains, near the 40th parallel.

The Leader calls the special attention of the War Department and the public to its articles. What Hollanders think of B<sbhave’s Holland Bitters.—J. Quintus, Editor of the Sheboygan Nieuwsbode, in a letter dated September 6, 1854, thus remarks: “ You will observe that I have published several certificates lately. Those are not mere ‘puffs,’ but literally true: and should you contiue advertising with us, you may expect to secure large orders from every Holland settlement in the United States.” This is an extract from one of tho many letters received from the Holland settlements. Surely when Hollanders recommend the Holland Bitters so warmly, Americans may not hesitate in testing • its virtues for themselves.
