In order ito mnku.assurance doubly sure, we trust dint in dim time an heir male will crown tlm royal nuptials, for although we had no reason hitherto to regret tho accession of female sover eigns, we must sny that we, in common, we be lieve, with ninny others, would have preferred a Prince -of Wales to a Princess lloyal.

Under dato ofNov, I Ith, from Alexandria, news was received of the t iking of St. Jeati d’Acre on tho 2d of that month utter a boipbardinontof three hours only. The principal fire was directed ngain*t the powder magazine, which was blown up, ami the fortress wns immediately taken by assault. The loss of tho.

Ibrahim PncUa is s-o hemmed in by the allies that there seems great doubt that he may ho nKle to escape. It wns not known where Solution Pacha was. Orders have been sent to different province*' for a new lew of men for Syria, and nlso a num ber of Bedon ms are iiuder orders to march imme diately there. At Trieste, on the 22d nil., this news caused a great sensation. The allied troops found im mense quantities of ammunition and proviiions in the fortress. .It is surprising that the Egyptian troops, who might have employed tlm night of the-3d in saving the public treasure, neglected to do on.

It is thought that the debates in the Chamber of Deputies hare demonstrated that the French Governnnuif regarded tlm affair between Meke- met Aliand tho Porte, as terminated. The Natioiiidof the 30th ult. states that Paris has resembled a strong place infested by the enemy.

A shell from the Gorgon steam ship caused the explosion of tho magazine. The destruction was tremendous. An area of about two acres was cleared hy it, causing it to nppear as though a quarry hud been worked on the spot. The attacking party suffered but little injury, white the defenders of the town experienced a loss ofuear 3000 persons killed and wounded.-— The scene within the walls aficr the eupture, is described as truly frightful—tho town being filled will) disfigured corpses, while on every side were persons of both sexes dying from their wounds with-no friendly nidal hand, and frantic womnn tearing their lioir and howling-most piteously, while they endeavored to seckout their husbands aud rclutivcs. The loss ofthe Allies is stated at only 18 killed and 42 wounded, that of the Egyptians at 2000 killed hy the explosion of Uie magazine, 300 kilt ed on fiie ramparts, wounded unknown, and 3000 prisoners.

A repyrt of six cases is given by him; in one case, both eyes squinted, and iu another, (an accouut of which we sub join) it was ueccssary to divide two muscles be fore the eye could be brought into its natural po sition. The operation occupiesbut two or three uiiuutcs in its performance, is attended with very little pain or inflammation, aud the improvement in appearance and vision, is immediate, to say nothing of the satisfaction of the patient thus sud denly enabled to look his friends in the face. Dr. Dix, we are infoYmed, was fiie first lo per; form the operation in this country, and his suc cess bus been perfect.

Ou further investigation, it seems that he can just descent file outlines of lurge objects withthiseye, ut the distance of six leet. The loss of vision is partly to ba accounted for 'by u slight opacity 011 the upper part uf the cornea, but probably depends much more ou the entire disuse of the eye fourteen years. He can, hy un efi'ort ofthe will, turn it out nearly in from, but cannot retain it there more than a few se conds.

WiUi the approbation of the gentlemen present, I then proposed the divis ion of fiie superior oblique muscle, to which the patient assented. This was easily accomplished, without enlarging file incision or usiug lit double hook, the eye being now sufficiently ever ted by file voluntary effort of tho patient to bring fiie ineision fairly in view. Pussiug the blunt hook under the conjunctiva at the upper extremi ty of the incision, it won readily brought round the tendon of the superior oblique, bringing it fairly into view, so us to be divided with tho scissors.

An entirebuilt/tng demolished.—Yesterday mor ning between six and seven o’clock, a most ter rific explosion took place by die bursting of the steam boiler in tho paper manufactory of Mr. Ga briel Moore, situated ill the upper part ofthe dis- trict'of Kensington, between Edward and Lydia streets, and School and William streets, which demolished nud laid iu one mass of ruins the entire building, which was partly brick and frame, two or three stodesbigh. Tbe accident is attri buted to the filling up of the feeding pipe with n hard deposite wljirli prevented the water from flowing into the boiler. At the time ofthe explo sion, the engineer, Enoch Garsido, and John Grant, machine engineer, were in the building preparing for a day's work by attempting to get up fiie steam, both ofwhoni were dreadfully smI* ded and otherwise injured by the fulling of the building upon nud around them. Mr. Gruut had one or both ofh's legs broken,—his situation is considered dangerous. Mr. Moore hiutjulf was hurt by n large pieco ofthe building fulling upon his bend whilesland- ing in the yard—ss[posed to have fractured his skull. The boiler, which wns situated in the basorartit ofthe bniHing, was futccd upward, and changing it* direction, was forced through the back wall of an adjoining two story brick house, a distance of about 40 or 50 feet front its position in the factory. The holler forced its way some ten feet into the' bed room of this house, knocking away a staircase, nnd scatter ing large fragments of hoards and brick upon a b«il, from which three children hnd just arisen, who very fortunately escaped serious injury uud perhaps death. Fonuuutely at the time there were but two of the bands ui the building, the number usually employed is somewhere about twenty. One of the. workmen was within a few yards of fiie building ut the moment itfell iu ruins before him, The concussion was tremen dous, shattering ull the houses in the immediate virility, and felt for a great distance around the neighborhood. -Mr. Moore was an industrious man nnd will feel the loss severely, which can not ho less than ten thousand dollars. lie is confined to his bed from the injuries received. The oilier two nteu were soon dug from among theruiui.and may possibly ireoover. ulthough the nature and extent ofthe injuries make it ex tremely doubtful. It is certainly a miracle that iu such u terrible disaster no lives were lost. . Phil. Gas.

Our Money Market knows no change—specie is at a premium of 5 per cent above Georgia money—Georgia 20 percent above Florida, aud so on upon the prmcipleof sub traction, until it takes a wise man tu know whether lie has any money or not. MOBILE, DEC. 93,...Cotton.—The arrivals sirtco the 16th inst. have been 6681 bales, aud exported 3700 bales, which leaves on hand and on ship board not cleared, a stock of 20777-bales. The cotton market throughout the week has been characterized by great dullness, holders cdhering to their former pretensions, and buyers, generally,with drawing as much as possible from the market. The demand, however, for the finer grades of cotton ’has continued preuy good, and the operations qf the week were mostly coutiifl-d to those descriptions which were taken for Northern nnd Eastern manufactories. In lbs lower grades, wljich are mostly wanted for the English market, very little has been done, the views of buyers being considered entirely mo high for tbe filling of orders. * The sales ofthe week amount only to 1800 bales, generally within the range of our last quotations.— We, however, note among the sales two or three choice lots which brought 11 cents per lb. the quality of which is considered mnch better than any previ ously brought to umtket this season. The stock on sale is fully 7000 bales. The week closes with a downward tendency—-In fact some dealers contend that jc has been lost on some grades uince our last review. It is certain that in one instance at least cotton could have been bought yesterday at rules which had been refused two 'or three days before.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 4.—The apprehensions of a wuj- with Franca having in a great measure passed away and the Foreign Exchanges somewhat improv ed, tbe pressure in the Money Market ispat-.ially relieved, and consequently there is less gloom and de pression in the manufacturing districts than prevail ed a few week ago. The amendment in monetary affairs in ns yet, however, inconsiderable. Since our last Circular, of 14th ult., until the lost few days, we have hnd an exceedingly dull nnd lan guid Cotton market, and though the decline, general ly speaking, did not exceed jd per lb.* it would not have been possible, to sell largely without submitting to a reduction. For the last louror five days, howev- er> we have had a lair steady demalid from dealers a’idconsutnmers,givinginoru firmness to the market, nnd the above depression has been nearly or qnite recovered; with the exception ofthe better qualities, v/hivli continue very heavy; indeed it is utmost irn- S ossiblc to effect sales above 6jd for any description, 'air Upland may be quoted 5| a 5j, and lair Orleans te Mobile 6 a OJd—while the lowest quotation for any merchantable American Cotton is 5d per lb.

About 3000 bales have been taken on speculation the last few days, previous to which tlm speculative demand had been suspended; it has now again ceased, and there is more Cutton offering than for some days past, the market appearing less buoyant. The imports into Liverpool since the 1st of January is 1,378,000 bates, against 983,000 in the saino period last snason; the supply from the United States is 1,140,000, being on increase of376,000 bnlesi Tho stock in this port is extraordinarily heavy for tho season, being about 430,000 bales, ugninst 945,000 at the same period las yenr; the stuck of American is about 328,000, or 112, 000 more than it then was. ^ Tlm duty on Wheat is 28s 8d per quarter, and ...
