*• F market is depressed, Ami prices ai'e
irrtgttlnr. In New Orleans and other
cotton markets the same causes exist and
operate, making the markets dull and a
shade lpwer. From 7 to 9 may now
be quoted the extremec of the market in
Griffin, but this is not saying what it may
be, at any time hereafter. There is a
foreign arrival about every three days
tiow, and the market on this side of the
Atlantic are governed entirely by those of
the other. The war news in the north
and west of Europe has a depressing in
fluence upon trade, and until the question
is hilly settled, either for war or peace,
the prices or cotton must be expected to
be variable. The decrease in the receipts
at. all the ports up to the 4th inst is
623,000 Imleß. This amount will rather
be increased than diminished, and briug
the crop within 2,500,030 bales. With
peaceable times and a brisk trade this
might run up the staple to 12 or 15 cents,
but with the prospects of a general war in
F.urope, and a general depression of trade,
the chances at present are rather in favor
of further depresMon than an advance in
prices.
A Scpei ior kind or Cotton —Toe
Hev. I.ihn R. Mclntosh, who, besides the
successful management of that large and i
fl urishing Female Institution, Floral
College, finds time to cultivate lue eatfi
likewise, has exhtl iteJ to us a sample
of Cotton of the finest quality ever brought
to this market. It is the product of a
single seed, (nought by Mr Mclntosh
from TeXas He planted this seed in
1832, and ftom the stalk of that year he
caretullv preserved the seed, which he
planted this year. The produce w as 260
pounds of Seed Colton, and 82 pounds of
clean cotton, with sufficient to plant
e ght or ten acres of land. Resides be
ing so much ft :.er than the cotton; umiiul
ly cul.ivated in this State, and tire staple
8 ) long that none of the e itton faciorie
b> re can wrk it, its production is far
grp, .ter. Wnils* of the ordinarv cotton Mr. |
Md utoshplantation yielded about 1200 I
pounds of seed Cotton to the acre, this

Feres - Explositn nnd Loss of Life. —
A fire occurred in New York on Satur
day, which <i6ttoyed the Columbian
Foundry, with a number of dwellings,
casting many destitute individuals naked
on tl-.e >tn e‘s'.

Fbesiikt in the ! ESXEssEr:. —The copi
ous rains of last week, together with the
melting of tiie Know on the mountains
above, produced the greatest freshet in
our river that has occured for six years
past, the water rising to within six feet of
the great rise in ’47. The water was at
its highest point yesterday, when the view
from the eminence overlooking the river
was one of dreary magnificence. It
seemed one continuous lake of swiftly
coursing waters. All the low lands bord
ering the river were completely inundated.
The house occupied by the ferry men,
and many others near the banks, were
almost totally submerg'd. The w ater was
within two feet of the second floor of the
range of brick warehouses on ti e wharf.
The rectiijitig house, cooper shop* and
hog | qua connected with Belt’s distillery,
wtre invaded by the watery element, oc
casioulng, we presume, considerable loss.
1 lie damage to buildings, and resulting
from Ihe removal of goods, will, in the
aggregate, amount to no inconsiderable
sum. The loss to tipi farmers both above
aud below, must be heavy, though vre have
heard as yet no particulars.
Bet for the extreme cold weather, that
has prevailed for a few days past, binding
with icy filters the les er water courses,
the freshet must hare been more disas
trous t'leu it has thus far proven.
Mail communications are of course,
temporarily cut off by this stage of water.
51 is not safe for boats to attempt a pas
aage through tac mountains upon such a
tide. Travellers must, therefore, cxercUe
the cardinal virtue of patience, und busi-
Le.G mm must not blame P. M. General

Historical Col lc t i obs of Georgia
Bt’Uev. Georgk White.
Thin work, says the Marietta Advo
cate, the result often years’ labor and re
i search of the author, is r.ow presetted to
the people of the State. It t-mhoJies
much that is interesting and valuable in
the early history of Georgia. The indus
try and untiring energy of the author will
no doubt be rewarded in the success and
popularity of his woik. Every one who
has seen it has expressed, so far as we
know, a highly favorable opinion of its
interest and value to Georgians. The
engravings, of which there are nearly a
hundred in the work, some of them costly
and well executed, add value and inte
i rest to the book. Toe collections con
j tain documents connected with the colo
nial history of Georgia prior to, and about
the time of, the Revolution; interesting
sketches of the Indian difficulties; bio
graphies of the Governors, and other dis- j
tinguished men of the State; a mass of]
iatorn.alion in regard to the different
counties, and their early settlement; and
altogether stich a collection of material
•stilus’, we think, <*nake the hook highly
popular and acceptable, particularly with
Georgians.
New French Settlement?
New Caledonia is about nine hundred
miles east of Australia. It was discover
ed by Cook, in 1774. It is 260 miles
long and 70 wide. Its chief productions
are yams and tanas. Ihe natives are
wild, but very dkilful in the cultivation of
the soil.
The Sydney Herald of the 21 of No
vember gives the following additional par
ticulars of the seizure of New Caledo
nia:—•
Tht French in New Caledonia —lt ap
pears that the French Rear-Admiral com
manding in the South Pacific sailed from
Tahiti in the steamer corvette Le Phoque,
accompanied by several naval officers and
civilians, “on a cruise among the islands.”
Oil the. 23d of September the Phoque ar
rived at New Caledonia; on the 24th the
Admiral landed at Belade, and, hoisting
the French flag, formally took possession
of the‘’lsland of New Caledonia and its
dependencies” in the name of his imperial
majesty, Napoleon 111, Emperor of the
French. A process verbal of the occur
rence was drawn up, in which the Admi
ral states that he takes possession of the
Islands by order of his government, and
declares them to be a French colony from
and after the 24th September.
Tme Methodist Church Case.—Th
recent settlement of the question of the
division of the Methodist Church proper
ty in New York has given great satisfac
tion throughout the country. The public
will also be-gratified to learn that the
Trustees of the “Charter Fund,” of the
church, in Philadelphia, have taken steps
to procure the sanction of the United
States Supremo Court to a division of the
Funds between the Churches North and
S#uth on a basis similar to that of the
recent New York settlement. The ilivi
sion will, no doubt, be speedily made, and
it is gratifying to know that these causes
of contention in this large religious body
will thus bo entirely removed.
Thb Cholera. — Extract of a I ite let
ter from New York to the editorg of the
Marietta Advocate: The Cholera is a
gain raging upon ihe ocean. For sum*
time past the packet ships arriving at thi>
port, have been free from the disease; but
it has again broken out with renewed vio
lence. The ship Continent, which ar
rived on Saturdny from Liverpool, lost
fifiyfour out of a total of four hundred and
ninety-two. The John Herman, which
arrived day before yesterday from Ham
burg, lost forty-one out of one hundred
and ninety-five, and the barque Prebislaw
also from Hamburg, lost twenty, ('inclu
ding her Captain.) out of a total number
of passengers of one hundred and fifty
one; —a t< tal of one hundred and fifteen
deaths among eight hundred and thirty*
eight emigrants. Ths is a frightful mor
tality, and leads us to fear that the with
•■iing breath of the ppstilence will, in the
coming summer, fall with fearful violence
upon the wretched and impoverished
masses who swarm in the lanes nnd cel
lars of this mighty city.
Cotton Grjuing Extraordinary —The
Albany, ((ia) Courier says: Mr. F. L.
Pepper has made the present year on his
plantation in the 6 h District of Early
county, fourteen hales of Colton to the
hand.
It appeals hr an elaborate table, com
piled for the Sm Francisco Prices Cur
rent, by Adams & Cos. that the whole a
tnount of gold dust manifested and shipp
ed from the port of San Francisco, during
the year 1553, was $54,906,956 74.
