For oonelgnoea, Ac., tee appropriate column.
ArrtTiU of the Knoxville.
The U. 8. M. steamship Knoxville, Cept. Ludlow,
with New York dates of Saturday P. M., arrived hero
yesterday A. M. We are under usual obligations to
Pnreer Wandkix for moat acceptable favors. By tho
papers received by this arrival, we are In possession
of detailed European accounts per Hermann, at Now
York, and fuller telegraphic accounts per America,
at Halifax, than previously rooclved. Tho nows is of
' absorbing interest, fully explaining tho causes, basis,
Ac., of the war that may now be said to exist in reali
ty between tbo several first powers of tho European
Continent.
The Foreign New*.
The Baltimore American, in referring to tho for
•Ign advices brought by tho Hermann and tho Amer
ica, tall details or which wo give this morning, says-
that all speculation as to whether there will bo an
Europeau war is now put to an end, by tho announce
ment that hostilities havo actually commenced. It
will need few words to direct tho reader’s attention to
the importance of this announcement. Even while
the struggle was so imminent, a lurking feeling pre
vailed that peace would yet bo preserved* and diplo
macy at the last moment open a way to the settle
ment of the difficulties. These hopes are now at an
•nd, and we know that Europe has been precipitated
Into a combat which cannot but be a momentous one.
and the incidents, possible results, and termination of
which it would bo useless folly to attempt to predict.
That a terrible, a bloody, and possibly a prolonged
struggle has commenced, wo are mode aware, but
what will be ita contingencies,aud what the condition
of Europe at ita close, are thoughts that involuntarily
suggest themselves, and which can alone be answer-
ed by the progress of events. Like most wars, it has
begun amid the popular enthusiasm of the masses,
who will havo to bear its burdens and oucountcr its
dangers; the end may find its warmest supporters
overborne and defeated, their best hopes proved Bin-
sory, and all tbo interests of civilization, republican
ism, and progress depressed. Though happily we
•re ourselves ft*od from entangling alliances with the
parties to It, yet we cannot be insensible to tho influ
ences it may exert, the good it may possibly nccom-
plish, and the evil it is certain to inflict.
The Weather In Taylor County.
A correspondent writing ns from Taylor county,
under date of tho 14th, says: " While writing, it may
not bo out of place to put in a word or two about the
effects of the late frosts. My means of information
havo been ample, and I can assure you that tho in
jury to crops has been immense, and tho accounts
generally current by no means exaggerated. T lie
wheat crop through this aectlou of the State being lu
an uncommon state of forwardness, is seriously in
jured ; many fields will prove, from present appear
ances, an entire failure. Farmers generally had their
corn crops up, and of course killed, and are now en
gaged in re-planting. Tho cotton crop is not hurt,
as but few plauts were up. Gardens were badly in
jured, some entirely destroyed. And there is nothing
more certain than a full and complete destruction of
fhiit. No spring past, within my recollection, has
there been experienced half the iujury that the late
frosts havo effected. The complaint of injury is gen
eral and well foundod throughout this region.”
The Feast ot Unleavened Bread.
The Passover, one of the principal rites of the He
brews, began on Thursday of last week, and closed
yesterday. In noticing the observance of this feast in
Baltimore, a writer In the American, repeats what
all Gentiles may not bo aware of, that it has been ob
served by the Israelites since the days of the Egyp
tian bondage, and wns instituted to commemorate
the providential escape of the Hebrews from Egypt,
when God smote the first born of that people and
passed over the houses of the Israelites, and marked
the lintels and door posts with the blood of the Pas
chal Lamb. It was originally celebrated on the first
full moon of tho Jewish year, from tho 14th to the
21st of the month Nisau,answering to the latter days
of March and the first days of April. Before the cap
tivity of the Israelites it was called Abib, and after
wards Nisau. During tho feast, which continues for
oight days, unleavened bread only is used, and on the
first day of the feast, and in every house a lamb
slaughtered by a Rabbi was served wit' out any of Its
bones being broken, of which all partook. This wns
tho principal festival of tho Jews, and was typical ol
the death of Chris* "«riu.-
Though the ceremonies are now somewbnt diflerent
from »bc original feast, in the main they are the same
and are regarded with great respect by those profess
ing the Jewish faith tluoughout the world.
Death op Patuick Martin.—We are called upon
to chronicle tho deceased another member of the
Irish Jasper Greens, who farsook the comforts of a
happy home, In obedience to tho call of his adopted
conntry, and cheerfully underwent the privations and
sufferings incident to an army life, and returned only
to fill a premature grave.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the patriot,
however humble, who responds to his country’s call
in her hour of need, and wo would Ire unworthy of
onr position os journalists were we to withhold the
meod of praise due to the memory of one who, having
risked his life In his country’s cause, returned toiler
only to linger and to die of disease engendered whilst
defending her flag.
Patrick Maktin was an honest man and a good
citizen ; be lias left an afflicted widow and two help
less children, together with numerous friends, to de
plore hia early demise.
The total value of the foreign exports of Baltimore
for the week ending on Thursday, the 13th, was $109,-
199. The export of breadstuffs for the week compris
es 8,664 barrels of flour, 930 barrels of corn meal, and
4,762 bushels of corn. The aggregate value of the
foreign exports from Baltimore during tho present
year is $4,250,332.
The Steamship City op Glasgow—This Steamer,
for whose safety many fears have been expressed,
has not yetarrived in Philadelphia. We sec it stated
in several of our Northern exchanges, that the “spirit
rappers” have been consulted relative to her destiny,
and have answered that the Btcamer took fire from
the engine when 18 days out from Europe, and that
41 persons were lost—30 by fire nnd 11 by water, tho
survivors, 279 persons, escaped by the small boats.—
The Captain and first mate were among those saved.
After 15 days exposure they made Prince Edward's
Islands, April 8th,since which 12 have died.
A private letter from Dr. Kino, to the New York
Observer, contains the following gratifying intelli
gence : “ I have this very momont received the news
that I am no longer under sentence of banishment.—
Through tho order of tho King, it is announced that
I am no longer to be considered an exilo from
Greece.”
Tub Prohibitory Law in Vermont.—We find It
stated that Judge Pibrvokt baa decided, at Rutland,
that so much of tho Liquor Prohibition act of that
State as directs that seized Liquor shall bo destroyed
without direct proof that any has been sold, is un
constitutional. (This is on tlic basis of the late Mas
sachusetts decision.) Tho case goes up to the Su
preme Court, but a similar decision is apprehended
there.
A Narrow Escape.—The Baltimore American, of
the 15th instant, learns from a private letter received
in that city, that Capt. Daniel, of tho ship Seaman,
of Baltimore, and four of his seamen, had a narrow
escape from death, off Cardenas. The vessel arrived
at Cardenas on the 28th uit., from New York. As
Captain Daniel, with four men, was going from the
town to tho outer anchorage, a sudden squall cap
sized tho sail boat in which they were, and sho Bank
immediately. By dint ot diving they succeeded in
getting the ballast ont and thejhoat floated, (but wa
terlogged)—the Captain saving his papers. One of
the men was seized by the sharks ; the others made
very narrow escapes, as they could only nse the boot
to ollng to—they reached the shoTe much exhausted,
having been in tho water over ton hours.
Powell’s Db Soto.—Tho exhibition of this pic
ture closes this afternoon at five o’clock, therefore
those who desire to see wnnl is said to be ono of the
finest productions of the pen of modern times, illus
trative of a great historical event, must improve the
time. Bhould tlio day prove pleasant, Armory Hall
will be thronged.
Tax Returns.—Bat two days remain for making
tax returns to the Receiver—to-day and to-morrow.—
Wo mention this for the benefit of such as would es-
capo doable tax by voluntarily making their own re
turns. Barnard E. Bee, Esq., Receiver for Chat

Fire I
About one o’clock, A. M., yesterday morning, our
citizens were aroused by the cry of fire. On reaching
the spot, a small building on the corner of tho alley
or Second-street, used by Dr. M. S. Thomson, as a
stable, was discovered to lie in flames, which soon
spread to tho adjoining buildings, consuming Dr.
rye’s office, Dr. Hosevelt’a residence, nnd all tbe
buildings on Dr. Thomson's lot to Mulberry-st. One
of the painful incidents connected with this part of
the conflagration, was tho burning of a horse, which
after being turned out of his stable ran truntiunlly
backwards ami forwards through the flames, until he
dropped exhausted in tho alley aud there was con
sumed.
From Dr. Thomson’s corner the fire extended down
Mulberry street, destroying a two Btory bouse, occu
pied ana owned by L. Munch, ns a bakery, four one
story tenements, occupied by John Massett, Bernard
Walker, Cbailes Dacy and Charles Melauny. Tho
conflagration extended to tho handsome building
constructed by tho Central Railroad Company lor a
branch hank, but lately purchased hy the Professors
of the Botanic College. Here the fire was stopped,
but much injury was sustained by tho owners and
occupiers of the adjnccnl buildings, from tho sudden
and violent removal of their furniture, Ac.
Tho following is a correct list of the sufferers by
this tire, as far us we have been able to learn, with
the amount of insurance held hy cacIi :
Dr. N. 8. Thomson, loss $5,000, insurance, $2,5
Miss Rawson, (house occupied, ***•»*• Roosevelt.)
fully inuurod i r>«- j\. rye, loss $1,000, no Insurance ;
L. Munch, loss probably $2,500, insurance expired
two weeks since ; John Massett, insurance $400 on
goods, $400 on house, $200on furniture; Bernard
walker, $400 on house; Win. Gibson, owning two
tenements occupied by C. Dacy and C. Melanny, no
iusurance.
Mrs. J. P. Gavan, who occupied tho up stairs of Dr.
Thomson's corner building, was also burnt out, lor
tho third time wo believe.
Mr. Dauiels, Boot and Shoe Maker, in the same
building, also sufl'ered some loss.

State Medical Society.
The Medical Society of the otate of Georgia held
its fifth regular annual meeting ut the Arcade Hall,
In this city, commencing at 10 o’clock last Wednes
day morning. A number of medical gentlemen from
various parts of the State were present, and wo are
informed that all the proceedings were characterized
by the greatest good feeling and harmony, as well as
■4 love for the noble pursuit in which they arc em
barked. Essays were read by Drs. L. A. Dugas and
J. A. Eve. Reports were received from various com
mittees, and much discussion wns had on matters in
teresting to the medical profession. After reading
aud confirming the minutes of tho preceding meeting
in Savaunnh, the following gentlemen were elected
offleers for the ensuing year:—President. Dr. It. Q.
Dickenson, of Dougherty bounty, 1st Vice President,
Dr. S. W. Burney, of Monroo,2d Vice President, Dr.
James M. Green, of Bibb, Treasurer, I)r. C. B. Not
tingham, Corresponding Secretary, I)r. George F.
Cooper, of Sumpter, llccordiug Secretary, Dr. I). C.
O'Keefe, of Newton.
We believe that nineteen delegates were elected to
the American Medical Association, which meets this
year iu St. Louis, Mo., on the the first Tuesday in
next month, (Muy 2d ;) but the following list con
tains all the names wo have been able to collect:—
Drs. Arnold, L. A. Dugas. W. S. Jones, J. M Green,
A. Means, E. Fitzgerald, D. W. Hammond, Thomas
Iloxey. II. C.Mackall. W. S. IJghtfoot, W. B. Jones,
M. A. Franklin, O. T. Woodson, J. It. Boon, It. C.
Word, It. Q. Dickenson.
Columbus wns selected as the place for tho next
annual meeting, nnd Drs. Iloxey, Stanford nnd Flew-
ellcn were appointed a committee to make the ncces-
sarv arrcngenicnts.
Much interest was elicited in the latter stage, of the
society’s proceedings by an aide address from Dr.
Means. The adjournment took place on Thursday,
at 14 o’clock P. M.
Doctor H. L. Battle, of Bibb, was elected Orntorfor
1855, aud Dr. U. H. Nesbitt of liibb, Alternate.
A Severe Snow Storm.
We are in the midst of a snow storm of unusual so
verity even for the season iu which snow is to he ex
pected, ami of very remarkuble severity for the mid
dle of April. Alter several days of fine, genial
Spring weather, snow began to fail yaait>rday after
noon about 5 o'clock, nnd continued until near noon
to-day. Nor do the clouds seem yet to have dischar
ged the whole of their fleecy contents. We suppose
that, upon a level, there is u deptli or snow of at ig^t
four inches. The storm was accompanied by a s\L A
gnlc of wind, which has done considerable ducBWS'.
A large number of awnings have been destroyed, and
several of the iron awning posts were snapped iu
twain. We expect to hear of yet further muahief
\,J miJJc, null tlulellt gusts.
Outside of tho city, winter seems to reign in his
full power. In the neighboring state of New Jersey
the storm was perhaps even more severe than it was
here. We understand that at Elizabethtown this
morning sleigh bells were sounding merrily in tho
streets, and that the sleighing was fair. The morning
train from New Brunswick was detained considerably
beyond its time, hy the ice upon the rails. Beyond
Elizabethtown the snow wns eight or nine Inches
deep, and the roads wore almost impassable for wheel
ed vehicles. Nor does the snow melt so rapidly us
might ho expected. Tho farmers feel unpleasantly
the interruption to the already long delayed agricul
tural operations ol the season.
Since the above was written, our ship news collec
tor reports that at noon, one of the Brooklyn light
ers, while off Whitehall slip, was struck by a sudden
flaw of wind, nnd capsized. There were four men on
board, all of whom were drowned. The ferry-boat
Wyondack went to their assistance, but they sank
before she reached them. Our collector could not
learn their names or that of the vessel.—N. V. Com.

An Interesting Qhi«>
A case of considerable Interest is now In comfe of!
litigation, in thteoitj, jatwMn tbe Wcttom Rucr
Untie Railroad and a passenger named Easel
Hutchens, who came down Iho road on Toosday
It appear* that Mr. Hutchens brought with him
tho road, In the passenger car. a couple of carpel
hags, ono or widen, with contents, weighed aboufl
eighty pounds. Upon the arrival of the train, tho
Superintendent and Agent of Transportation having
received intimations that tho carpet bag contained a
largo amount of gold, waited upon the gentleman
aud domamlcd payment ot freight. The regular prico
ot freight on gold Is ono dollar on every thousand
dollar*' worth. The passenger refused to pay tho
freight, on the ground, we understand, that even If It
did contuin gold, (which ho did not admit,) having
brought it in tho passenger car ns baggago, and as
sumed the responsibility or its loss himself, the rr
was not entitled to the price of freight charged for
the transportation of gold. Moreover, ho denied the
right of the offleers of tho road to know the contents
ot his carpet bag. As there is a special rato for tho
transportation of specie, it was necessary that tho
valuo of the contents of the bag should bo known,
before tho exact amount of the charge for freight
could be determined. Under tbo law of tho road re
quiring tho payment of freight before the delivery of
articles, the agent detained tho bag. The passenger
took out a warrant to recover possession of his prop
erty, and tho case was brought the sumo evening be-
fore Justices Thomas nnd Hoyt, who, after hearing
the arguments of counsel pro and con, dixmiHsod the
warrant on the ground ol informality, the property
remaining In tho hands of the Sheriff. A new war
runt wax made out by the plaintiff's attorneys, and
served the next day. The case is again brought for
ward for trial to-day.—Atlanta Intelligencer.

Doings lu Congress.
In the House, yesterday, alter we went to press,
the vote on the motion of Mr. Cox to lay on the table
Mr. Cobb's land graduation hill was announced to he
yeas 69. nays 80 ; not carried.
The bill was then passed—yens 83, nays 64.
The House then went into a Committee of tho
Wliolo on the Private Calendar, Mr. Taylor, of Ohio,
in the chair. After some time passed in committee,
they rose, nnd tho chairman reported hack the bill
lor the relief of the widow and heirs of Elijah Beebe,
which was passed.
The House then went into committee on the state
of the Union, (Mr. Jones, of New York, in the chair.)
wherein tho West Point Academy appropriation bill
was taken up, and after a short discussion, on the
amendment proposing to expend $20,000 ou a riding
school for the institution, the committee rose—
And the House udjourned until Monday next.
1 lie Itnllrond Iron Dill.
We have reason to believe that a majority of the
House Post Office Committee are in favor of the bill
concerning duties on railroad iron just introduced by
leueral Rusk into tho .Senate, in few words, it ad
mits duty free ull iron to he imported by railroad
companies for their own use in construction or re
tails, and grants for every mile of single truck, three
ections.and of double track, six sections of public
ands ; the scrip to be located on any vacant lands
ubject to private entry. For these favors, the rail-
oads availed of them, are to carry the mails, etc., of
lie Government free of cost thereafter. The strict
onstructionista for the most part will oppose this
•reposition, and the protectionists from regions
vliere tho iron producing interest is stronger than
Do railroad building interest, is pretty sure to go
•gainst this bill. So also may wo set down gentle-
uen from the west, who have it in their heads that
.'ongress must rightfully confine ita donations of the
■uhlic domain wholly for tho benefit of tho States or
’erritorles in which they lie. Tho strenuous manner
a which many insist on this doctrine, and at the
ame time press schemes for donating lands for the
•enefit of public land regions, are inducing more or
css of the heretofore strict constructionists to cust
•bout them for some plan by which they can secure
• loir constituents in the old States, some benefit from
•hat they may judge to be a constitutional division
■ f all remaining public domain of the confederacy

Prevention ok Counterfeiting.—A few weeks
inco tbe Banks of Boston offered a reward of $500 to
ny person who would so arrange hank bills that they
oulu not bo counterfeited. The reward has drawn
uit alarge number of inventors. S. Sully, ot Ido Mills,
'roy, proposes to form bank notes by weaving any
'esign in silk, linen, or cotton, in black on a while
round. These notes could all be made on the bank
, remises, and several could be woven in one and after-
varda separated. Geo. A.Clark, of Fall River, Moss.,
reposes to manufacture bank bills In nearly the samo
■innncr. E. F. French, of Franklin, Vt., proposes to
erforatc the letters which express the denomination
• i the bill. M. Gerhard, of Delaware, Ohio, proposes
• ho Hamo plan exactly. N. Young, of Lancaster, O-
•io, in a second loiter proposes tho same plan, only
i hat it Blmll be tho name of the bnnk which shall be
■erforated, and that a blank spaco should be left in
' io centre of each bill for this purpose. George Har-
?y, of Richmond, Va., suggests that nearly tho
hole face of tho bill be occupied with the figures cx-
ressing its value, so that the whole would have to
e altered. Which of these will bo adopted by our
ostou friends, remains to bo seen.
The 8ix New Naval Steamers.—Wo hnvo rea-
'"Mi to believo, from what we hear, that tho Secretary
• the Navy has determined to build the six naval
1 earners just ordered by Congress, at tho different
avy Yards. The determination is a wiso one, It
strikes us. Every such ship so built for tho Navy,
: is turned out all that could lie desired, except
• i some cases, in which mistakes bavo been
.ado In tliolr machinery. Whenever this has
i ten the case, tbo difficulty lias been traced to dab-
ing in patent nghta nr other experimental work,

The Indian Delegation.
Tho Southern Sun learns through passengei's from
Tampa, that the Western Delegation of Indians,
whose mission was to Imvc a talk with Bow Logs,
have returned to Tampa, without having accomplish
ed nny good. The particulars are not known, and
now the impression is, that when Bow Legs leaves
his present hunting ground, it will be to join the great
spirit, where ho hopes to find more and better game.
The Delegation was to leave, on their return to Ar
kansas, in the U. H. steamer Fashion. Very few of
the Florida Indians have come to accompany them.
Two men of about thirty three years of age. and two
women with four cbilreu, are ail that were in fnremi
gration on the 22d uit., and no more were expected,
unless by chance tho family of one of these warriors.
It is further stated that the delegates have done
their duty, by making known to tin; Somiuolcs the
terms offered by the government; nor was much more
expected os the immediate result of their visit. A1
though there is no hope of a general emigration this
spring—the anxiety of tho Indians for peace, and
their decreasing stock ot ammunition an'} -»•**-*“.■
together with .***»<»o,».«juts ucm out to them, roo

Improvement* Commenced.
Tlic work ol re-building the burnt district of this
city has already commenced in good earnest. Three
spacious stores are nearly finished—one is occupied
by Mr. Stetson, nnd tho other two will soon be occu
pied by Mr. C. H. Wright, and Messrs. Win. G. Rob
inson & Co. Dr. Fort has already taken tho prelimi
nary steps for putting op a substantial structure on
the corner opposite the Masonic Hall. Wo also lenrn
that Mr. John A. Breedlove nnd others are contem
plating the rebuilding of the corner opposite the
market in good style. It is further proposed to or
range for a convenient nnd spneious town-hall, in
rebuilding tho burnt square, a thing very much need
ed hy tho city. Other improvements are also in pro
gross iu different parts of the city, which give
auspicious indications thut Millodgeville will not die
without an effort. Messrs. Fair, Tucker, and Dr. S,
G. White are making brick ot excellentqunlity on a
very extensive scale in sight of the Capitol. They
will probably make, during the season, at least 2.000,-
000. Mr. Isaac Newell and Col. John Brown, we
lenrn, are also engaged in brick-making; so that
there will be ample for rebuilding and improving Mil-
ledgcvillo in a substantial manner. Let every ninn
in this vicinity put )fm shoulders to the wheel, and
do what lie cun to rebuild nnd adorn our cherished
city, nnd long will Millcdgeville remain the pleasant
and healthful private abode, as well ns tho permanent

Our information upon tills subject was derived from
a gentleman of respectability. Since tiien we are in

of that city, at Lumpkin,Stewart county.afew nights
since. He was found dead in his bed in the morning.
Col. F. was on his way to his plantation in Baker
county.—Macon Citizen, 18th.
Bloody Affray.—A gentleman writes us from
Scriven county, that a very unfortunate affray took
place at Sylvania, in that county, on the 10th inst.—
It appears a dispute arose between a Mr. II. Kelly and
R. Blackurn, which ended iu a fight—that Dr. Ogles
by and a brother of Blackburn were ultimately in
volved in tbo difficulty- that pistols and knives were
used, that all the parties were badly injured, slid it
was thought R. Blackburn would die. Burton Black
burn lias fled ; the others engaged in the affray are in
the custody of the Sheriff.
AH were drunk, of course.—Millcdgeville Recorder,
18th.
A convict named Reed, made his escape from the
guard of tho Penitentiary on Wednesday last, and
lied to parts unknown. At last accounts he was mak
ing very free use of horse flesh, between this nnd
Warronton, without leave from owners. A reward of
$100 lias been offered by tho Assistant Keeper for his
apprehension. He waa engaged in hauling rock at
the time of his escape.—Millcdgeville Recorder, 18th.
The Weather, which, during the week past, had
been dry nnd warm with us, on Snbbath morning, af
ter a light shower of vain, began suddenly to change,
and the wind blowing nil day from the west and
north-west, we had winter again. Tho mercury stood
at 42 deg. yesterday at sunrise. We have rarely felt
so sudden and disagreeable a change.
What ita effect may lie on tho small grain crops,
remains to ho seen. We very much fear that the
spring will be as fatal to them os tho drought of last
summer was to the corn. If this should be so, and
there is a stiil further advance in the price of bread-
stuffs, we shall see an amount of suffering in our
State, to which Georgia lias been long a stranger.—
Sandersville Georgian, 18th.
Gold Weather.—For the last three days we have
had another spell of cold weather, and on yesterday
morning uhout 6 A. M., a Blight sleet. Thus far wo
hnvo seldom witnessed a worse season for the grow
ing crops.—A/dcon Telegraph, 18th.
Baptist Convention.—The Georgia Baptist Con
vention will meet next Friday, 21st instant, in Wash
ington. Wilkes countv. Tho well known hospitality
of the good citizens of Washington will secure alarge
attendance.
A flro occurred on tho wharf in Alexandria, on
Thursday night Inst, which destroyed 600 barrels of
rosin, a warehouse for Fowls & Co., and a frame
building for Joslah II. Davis. The loss amounts to
some six or seven thousand dollars.
It is astonishing how liquor promotes independ
ence. A Philadelphia old "orick,” who was lying in
a very spiritual manner, was advised in a friendly
way to cconomiso as “(lour was going up." "I/et ft
go up,” said the old fellow; “I kin git os ‘high’ as
flour kin, any day.”
aar We understand that tho Grand Jury of Wil
kinson county, nt the late sitting of the .Superior
Court found a true bill against McCardel, tho late
clerk, who was charged with burning the Court
House. Unable to give bail In tbe amount required,
be is now in Jail to await his trix].—Sandersvtils

AUtiUSTA, APRIL 10.—Cotton.—Our market openeu
Wcdnesnnj ia«t with a downward tendency in prices,
consequence of unfavorable advices from Europe. During
the present week wo bavo later intelligence by the steamers,
which 1ms still further depressed prices, and the market is
left iu such a depressed state, that it is impossible to say
what the article would bring if forced upon the market.—
There is nt present little or none offering, and buyers seem
indifferent about touching the article at present, as it is
now cortain that wnr 1ms been declared by France am’
England against Russia, nnd this no doubt will be tin
case until tilings scttlo down a little. The few sales madi
during the week were forced sales, made to the manufac
