Later from Europe.
The Steam Ship Hibernia sailed from Liverpool on
ihe 4 th, and reached Boston on the 26th ult. Her news
is not of great importance. The failures continued,
though the monetary affairs of Englnr.d were in an im
proved condition and trade was better than on the sailing
of the Inst steamer. The Duke ol Roxbury, the Earl ol
Eglington, and Mr. Cunard, proprietor of the ocean
Steamer, had become bankrupt.
During the fortnight the cotton market hail fluctuated
considerably. The week after the sailing of the last
| Steamer, prices advanced I of a penny per pound hut
I had again receded according to some accounts a farth
j ing The stock in Liverpool was 392,000 hales against
475,000, same time last year. The partial decline in
prices had causes some of the mills to resume operations,
and the sales of the week ending 4th ult. were equal to
those of the corresponding week last year via: 22,600
bules. Brown, Shipley and Go’s circular quotes fair up
uplauds at sd. while D. E. Little give the following:
Upland. Mobile. New Orleans.
Fair to good fair 41rd>lt 4ift)4l sf®6
Ord to Mid. 3irS5S 4\(dW 31(2)7
Good to fine sifS)sl 6 6irS)7i
Still another commercial letter quotes fair uplands at
sfd.
The decline is attributed entirely to the anticipated
excess in the crop, the estimates being for 2,500,000 bales
when the crop will not exceed 2,100,000 Upon the
whole considering the commercial improvement and
the general State of trade the news cannot be regarded
as very unfavorable This seems to be the ouinion in
New York as the Telegraphic report from that city of j
the 28th, gives the following:
The Cotton market remains firm, and sales of about ;
4000 bales for shipment are reported, the decline in Eng
land having been caused by a reported heavy crop, which
is believed to have been incorrect. Holders remain firm,
I and in good spirits
The following is a summary of the general aud politi
cal intelligence.
The British Parliament, for some days, had been en- j
gaged with the subject ol trade, and the financial con- ‘
uition ol the country. It is expected that measures of a ;
salutary character would be introduced.
The State of Ireland is truly frightful. The land 1
reeks with assassinations from one end to the other. I
Government has proposed a coercion bill of a very mud !
ami modeiate character
In Sw itzerland,the civil war has been virtually ter
minated, by the surrender of Lucern to the troops of the ‘
Federalists. The Sonderbund is deserted and thus the
hopes of the Jesuits are fully prustrated
The affairs of Italy are in a fair wav for adjustment.
The Pope has opened the new Council of State of the
Vatican, ami his speech elicited unmixed appiobation.
The Royal Blink o! Liverpool, the stoppage ol winch j
caused so much excitement at the tune, has resumed ■
business under favorable cisemnstanees.
The Press*-, of Paris, states that the United States
government lias purchased the islands ot Lyra, from
Greece, and will at once pay off the mortgage uuc

The c otion Tra it*.
In accordance w.th an annual custom, t ,e December
number ol IJuni e Mei clumtH M turnislies a
pifKr on th • course ol the Cotton trade ior tne past, and
its prosp- ct* tor the coming year. \Y> shall, as usual,
present to our readers the statistics and estimates of tin;
writer.
The chief influences which, during the past year, af
fected our great staple, auJ wii.ch have to a considera
ble extent balanced each other, were the certainty of a
short crop and the scarcity of food in Europ —the uie
tending continually to produce a rise, and the other con
fer acing this tendency by advancing the rates of freight,
and diminishing the consumption of the manufacturers.
According to the table of Wright & Lewin, the New
York prices for tair Orleans Cotton have varied, from
January to September, only lie., which is less than 15
per cent, on the the lowest rates. The new commer
cial year has, however, opened unfavorably for the Cot
ton trade. Though the stock in European markets is
light, and the prospect of abundant harvests fair, the de
ioand ior the staple has been seriously curtailed by com
mercial embarrassments in Great Britain, a languid trade
in the manufacturing districts, and the probability of an
average Cotton crop.
In estimating prices for the coming year, the writer
takes several important considerations into view. First,
the amount of stock in the Liverpool market, which w’as
about 400,000 bales in the middle of October, being 146,-
000 less than the stock of the previous year ; next the
supply of the American cotton. Without pursuing the
calculations of the article, it is sufficient to state that it
estimates the crop as follows: New Orleans and Tex
as, 1,050,000 bales ; Mobile, 425,000 ; Georgia, 245,000;
South Carolina, 350,000; other places, 25,000—*>tal, 2,-
250,000 bales. Fom India the receipts have largely in
creased during the present year, and the crop is estima
ted at 190,000 bales, or about the same asm 1847. From
other places, besides the United States and India, the
receipts in Great Britain are small and stationary, aver
aging tor the last years 168,000 bales. The whole sup
ply from all these sources will then be as follows:
Crop of the United States 2,250,000
Receipts in Great Briuan from India. ... 190,000
“ other places 170,00s
The next point examined is the probuble demand.—
The demand in the United Slates, or the home con
sumption, has been somewhat checked during the past
year, in consequence of the importation of an immense
supply of English inenufactures, at low prices, under
the tariff of 1846. The consumption of 1847 was 428,- j
000 hales, or nearly the same os that of the year previous
and tire estimate for 1848 does not exceed 460,000 bales.
The consumption in France fell off during the year, in 1
consequence ot monetary difficulties and the hig i price #
ol lood. It W'll probably be auled in 1848 by good har
vests and moderate rates. It is estimated nt 300,000,
against 230,000 tor 1847. In Great Britain the decrease
, in the consumption for the present year bus been im
mense The total sales ot the trade up to Sept. 17th,
are 800,350 bales, against 1,118,500 for the preceding
year; and the total consumption for the United King
dom was, for the first six months ot 1847,644,643, against
a consumption lor the first six months of the year previ- j
oue, ot 832,000 hales. The entire consumption for 1847
will not probably exceed 1,250,000 hales, being an aver- i
age decline of about 300,000 bales from the consumption
!of 1848 and 1845. The decline has chiefly been in the ‘
home demand, the export trade not having seriously di
minished. Alter allowing for the operation of the van
; our causes at work to augment and depress the demand
in the English market, the conclusion is readied, that
| it wifi uttam 1,400,000 hales, or about had wuy between
the consumption lor 1846 and 47
The demand Irom oilier places is now considerable,
1 and is frequency ineguiar and uncertain. During the
present year, it is estimated, upo.i toleiuoly correct data,
at 330.MXJ bales, and witii mode.ate prices is cuicululej
in 1848 to reach 370,0tK) hates. The total demuiid is,

By comparing the supply and drinaiid. conclude* tlie
writer,u w„l he seen that th-y piumisc iu be t,early lire

tall below lina at any tinie.lne inorrau .l co sumption,
with in |H< •rut diiiiimala-d slocks, would immediaiely

shows Hist they cannot be kept higher, without stop
ping tile English iiiaiiulaclorres, and tlierrby decreasing
tlie coHMiinption below the probably supplies. The

The Mines of .Mexico*
j In a note to a recent thanksgiving sermon preached
by the Rev. Dr. Scott of New Orleans, the author
I says:
“ There nre more than three thousand mines of precious
metal* between iheMoiaißsippiand the Isthmuß of Darien.
Most ol them are silver mines, and recent travellers tel 1
u they are capable of producing annually five times
j more than has over been produced by all Mexico. It is
estimated by intelligent men, that in Anglo-Saxon hnnd 9
from the mines of Mexico already known and partially
worked, one hundred millwneof dollars could be raised
per annum**
1 he Delta soys that “Gen. Scott has a plan tor en- j
closing the mining districts by a line of military posts, j
and encouraging investment* and labor in that branch 1
of iuduftry. He thinks the mines might thus, by a light
income-tax, be made to produce a very laige revenue*
j whilst the bullion produced from them would find its
wuy into the United States.”
Trophies*
The Washington Union states, that “the War Office
bus received, by officers who have recently arrived from
Mexico, various trophies of the war. Among them, are
j two small Ix-a u Liful brass wall pieces of ordnance, sent by
G n. Scott, and taken to Washingtpn by Col. Andrews- j
| The most curious of these trophies is the black flag o 1!
| gucrilJeros. The material is bombssette. The or- ;
nainents and letters in the centre, upon the red ground, i
I nre worked with green silk upon black cloth pieces, ex- j
cept the squares, which are worked with white. But
i most remarkable is a small pennant on the lop, made
of black, 21 inches by 111, with various militnry orna- !
ineiits. On the top and bottom are a death's head and
cross-bones. In the centry, these ominous words: “No
doi courier *— -Give no quarter. This staff and flng was i
taken at La Mira Flores, on the 13th August, 1847,fr0m
! the guerillas who attacked Lieut. Hammond’s party.’’
Mr. Clnyand the Presidency*
The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. Clay !
’ to a friend in Virginia, published without the authority ol
the writer in the Richmond Whig, hut given wc pre
sume for the purpose of setting the public mind at ease
i in regard to the aspirations of that distinguished person
age, for the Presidency.—Mr. Clay says:
i “ I have this moment perused an able pamphlet from
! the pen of Mr. Gallatin, iu which, without any concert
between us, I find that he takes similar positions to those
which I had previously occupied. He fortifies them by
a striking array of facts and powerful arguments.
“ I am not surprised at the imputation of unworthy
motive sto me tor the delivery of the speech. That has
! been so long my fortune, that I should have been sur- j
1 prised if it had not been made. Will they charge Mr I
Gallatin, in the publication of his pamphlet, with being i
actuated by the desire to attain the Presidency ? There
is as much ground in the one case as in the other'*
Maj. Games and the War.
Major John P Gaines, recently prisoner in Mexico,
and now mem fa rof Congress upon reaching his home
at Covington ivy on the 16th ult, was publicly receiv
e i ny his icliow citizens, and made a short speech in
in.- c urse t.t which he remarked, that “the administra
tion w..s quite as rei sura We for its manner of prosecu
ting the war os ,or > unjust origin. H** said the army ■
had suffered for want of pre visions, munitions and men.
Such wa- the opinion oi evety man in the army, what
ever his political predilections. Major G. avowed his
intention to vote the amplest supplies as long as the war
legally exists, but was determined to oppose the annex
ation of Mexican territory'. As to peace, he said to* ne
ver found a Mexican in Mexico in favor U peace with
the United States.”

dren, tor either of these affections try the Anodyne
Gough Drops, and you will to* convinced that it is
one of the most elegant as well ns effectual remedies
ever offered to tto* public. A single dost* or two, for
instance, will allay tlu* most violent cough, which in a
few hours, or at most in a day or two will be cured.—
There is not the slightest danger in the use ot tlie med
icine, for even in double dos< s, t only nauseate**; an ef
fect always beneficial, pariiculaily wrh cluldr , .114 !
also lor afl persons troubled witliTGthfnatie breathing.
Besules curing the cases enumerated, this medicine is a
most valuable remedy tor Cholic and all spasmodic af
fections.
The Rev. Mr. Turner states ns follows, to say mill
ing of the many cases that might be referred to, where
the medicine has been used :
“ Having labored under a violent cough and pain in
the chest tor several month.-, 1 called on Doct. Little
tor a prescription, who gave me his Anodyne Cough
Drops. I lound immediate relief nfter beginning to
take them, and by continuing n tew days my cough
and pain was entirely relieved w ith quite* an improve
ment of my general health The medicine is quite
pleasant lo take, an<l I consider R the most valuable 1
ever met with.” JOHN YV TURNER,

It has long heen a disideratum in medicine to have
a remedy that would cure promptly the numerous cases
of Ringworms, Titters. Scdd-neads, Ac., that Phy
sicians arc *0 often culled on to prescribe for To a
very great extent this has been accomplished, for here
is an application, (Ringworm and Tatter Ointment,)
that very rarely fails to cure any case ; and lor tlie or
dinaty sta.e of these affections a lew’ tunes applied is
suffiaent to eradicate it.
Dr. Little —Sir, I am happy to inform Vou that
your Ringworm and Tetter Ointment which l hove pro
< uied from you, hns cured an obstinate Tetter of 15
years standing, after hoving used n great variety of ap
pl teat ions without success There is no mistake about
my case lieing one of the worstt* the kind ; and it has
been entirely cured now for nritiy months.
