¥ fcottotf.. . _ *• 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 I’cxas C-uton yielded at the ratn of 2000 j o mi's an increase of 6G p r cen . of yield Steamboat Burnt. Nf/v Orleans, Jan. 29 — 8,32, P. M.— The steamboat Ge >t<na, from Montgome ry, was burned at the wharf last night.— Forty lives are said to have been lost, one half of which were negroes Twelve hundred and fifty bales of cotton were consumed in her. The boat and cargo c. a total loss. Ihe cotton was insured. The passengers lost arc said to have been fro’.i. North Alabama and South Carolina, and. their way to Texas. The papers of the b''at, together w ith a. list of her passengers being consumed, the names of the suffer eis cannot now be given. The officers and crew were saved. ! he wharf and warehouse, together with h qua: 1 , it j of freight stored therein, were a.so burned. Fur'ktr Particular*. —Xkw Orleans. Jan. 30th. The names of the persons who lost their live- by the burning of the S:ca.n r 'r Georgia, are as follows: V™ Jolly and child, Randolph county, Georgia; Mr. Jackson and child, Borbotir <*o. Ala. leaving a wife and eight surviving children now here entirely destitute; also 19 negroes belonging to different masters in California and Georgia No bodies have yet been found. I lie survivors state that Dr. Young, of Hancock co. Ga. lost a valuable ser vant, his medical books, surgical instru ments, Xrc., only saving his clothes. Baltimore, Jan. 29 . 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'. There vras, also, o fve in Pearl stteet, near the Battery, which destroyed a block, aui turned, likewise, some fifty lush ta-r dies into the streets. Fr- cell’s Cartridge Factory at Ravenr wrood, l.oug Island, iXjtloded Ott Saturday, and all who w ere, in it at the lime, w ith the exception of two, were killed, the loss f life, which was principal y coofinedtlo buys and girls, is variously estimated at between twenty and thirty. The hni d* inga for miles around were shaken and the wind iws br >en 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.

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.
