Wonderful Phenomenon,

Stahkvu.le, April 4, 1866.
Editor ot Wilkes' Spirit of the Times:
Sin : The following very strange and anomal
ous circumstance lies jusMmnspircd in oureom-
uuiuitv Mi Gabriel Ellis, a lionrishing ilrv-
gc.ods iiiereii.-inl, had treqnently remarked that
he could-it up 11,ivi weeks without any mate
rial lUtrin.i'ni ui liis health ; and that after the
expiration ■ t::ai time he could go to sleep, and
-deep without waking until the loss was made up.
ilc was led to believe ibis fact from experiments
on a smaller scale. In the early part of Febru
ary lte sold his store and invested the capital
thus raised in a tarm, which gave him leisure ;
:xud in compliance with the wishes of several
scientific gentlemen, he began on the 11th day
of February to abstain from sleep. Gentlemen

tacultv • and io preclude all possibility of being
accused of momentary snatches of sleep he
wouid read audibly all night long, and keep his
feet during the day—watched all the while at his
own request.
lie would comment in a clear, forcible and
intellecti’.al manner upon v. hat he read—deplor
ing the heartlessness of "Iago,” laughing al the
inimitable drollery ami humor of the “Army
Straggler, etc On the 16th day of March, at the
urgent solicitation of triends, he went to sleep
lor the first time, and did not wake until the
ninth day of the present month. He expressed
the opinion that he could stay awake a year, and
then sleep in proportion, without injuring his
constitution. He never gets sleepy until he
closes his eyes and resigns himself to slumber,
at which time he gets asleep almost instantly,
without regard to the noise or excitement around
him. There are many curious tacts connected
with his ease which might interest the readers
of your valuable paper: but as Doctors Edmund,
Willis and Jordon, are preparing for the press
an elaborate statement of their experiments and
discoveries. 1 desist. Yours, very truly,

In the House a resolution was adopted di

Senator Williams submitted a preamble and
resolutions requesting information from the
President whether any employee of the govern
ment in the Southern States has offered public
honors to dead or living Confederates. Senator
Nicholson objected, and the resolution was laid
over.
Tlmd. Stevens introduced a hill declaring that
the States lately in rebellion have forfeited their
rights under the Constitution, and can be re-in
stated in the same only through the action of
Congress. It provides that they may form valid
governments, the present ODes being continued
for municipal purposes, until they shall be duly
tested, and their executives and legislatures are
recognized. Constitutions are to be formed by
conventions and submitted to the people, a ma
jority of whom is necessary for ratification. AH
male persons above tiic age of 21 are to vote.
No constitution is to be presented for Congres
sional sanction which denies civil rights to
any person. The bill was committed to the com
mittee of the whole on the state of the Union.
Thad. Stevens offered a resolution instructing
the committee to double the pensions of Federal
soldiers in the civil war, who arc still well; and
directing the committee to make a report ex

disabled. It was adopted by yeas 6.3, and nays

exempting the currency of State Banks outstand
ing on the first of July, from the tax ot ten per

During the debate on Saturday, Thad. Stevens
referred to a recreant and apostate Senator, and
is understood to have meant Doolittle, of Wis

ble, they will demand his release on hail, and are
ready to give bail to the extent often millions of

Spain anil Clilli.
The quarrel between Spain and Chili is ex
plained by the New York Commercial Advertiser
:ts follows.
A brief glance at the rise and progress of this
struggle will enable us to more clearly compre
hend the present situation. In the month of
March, 1864, the Peruvian Government became
involved with Spain in regard to certain ques
tions arising out of claims of Spanish residents
against Peru. A local dispute had arisen at Tn-
lambo between some Peruvian land owners and
Spanish colonists, in which two persons were
killed and four wounded. The Peruvian courts
at once proceeded to investigate the matter, but
the Spanish Government, evidently in search of
a pretext, interfered in the ease while the inves
tigation was going on, and ultimately seized the
China Islands. Insolent demands followed. These
demands were acceded to by the Government,
but the indignant people overthrew the Govern
ment, and when the new President did not act
with sufficient celerity in wiping out the disgrace
they overthrew him too, and elected to power the
present incumbent, who signalized his advent by
declaring war forthwith against the invader and
joining in an alliance with Chili. The latter had
early in the controversy shown strong sym
pathy for Peru, allowing, among other acts, the
Peruvian war ships to receive coal aud enlist
men in Valparaiso, while coal was refused to the
Spanish vessels because it had been declared
contraband of war.
The Spaniards were, therefore, indignant at
the Chilians, and as soon as the Peruvians had
acquiesced in their urgent demands, they turned
their attention to the former, expecting that they
would “knuckle under” without ceremony. On
the 17th of September, 1865, Admiral Parejs dis
patched a long communication Horn on board
his flagship to the Chilian Minister, in which he
complained <>f the 1 partiality in the matter of
supplying coals to the Peruvians, and further,
that Insulting cries and threats against Spain
were permitted with impunity in front of the
residence in Valparaiso ot the Spanish Legation.
Admiral Fareja then proceeded to say that un
less the Chilians apologized for these acts, and
“one of the forts of the republic saluted the
Spanish ensign wit ha salvo of twenty-one guns,”
war would at once be declared. The high-spirit
ed Chilians at once spurned these insolent de
mands, and forthwith proceeded with great en-
thusiasm to prepare for a struggle with Spain.—
Though a blockade was immediately established,
Admiral Pareja was utterly unable to make it
effective; and, finally, when a squad of daring
Chilian sailors captured the Covadonga, he was
so mortified and chargrilled that he ended his
life with a Derringer.
A Volcano at Venice.—The Venice journals
contain accounts of a singular phenomenon
which has just taken place in that city. Works
had been for sometime post going on in the gar
den adjoiniug the Saint Agnese Church for bor
ing an artesian well, and a depth of one hundred
aiiTl sixty feet had been reached, when one after
noon a rumbling noise was heard underground,

his rejoinder to the last bulletin of the Governor
Old Governor Brovvnlow, after keeping the
filthy hole in his face shut for weeks, comes out
with another attack on us in his Knoxville TVhg,
which has ever been a disgrace to Knoxville, to
Tennessee, to civilization and to uncivilization.
He never has mind enough to keep his body from
rotting—consequently he has always been a mass
of putrifaction; he" has never had sufficient
common sense to last him over night, so that he
wakes up a miserable fool every morning; and
this last effort of his in tiie Whig is the poorest,
feeblest, the jejunest, the most contemptible that
we have seen, even from him. It dosen't rise
even to the low level of invective. There is no
more talent in the writings than in the scratch-
ings of a dung-hill fowl upon a dung-hilL It is
a mere concatenation ot vulgar epithets and lies
—vile lies for which there is not so much as the
thin and shadowy ghost of a broken down, in
furiated, and weak old man or no man—so weak
that, like the lean dog that we read of, he has to
lean against a fence to do his barking. All the
atom of sense he ever had—if he ever had an
atom—has gone to the grave before him—but
not much before him it is hoped for some man
kind's sake. He has no right to be still “ haunt
ing the glimpses of the moon.” He is a loath
some fistula of the body politic. He is a mangy
old dog—a disgrace to liis own fleas. He is a
foul bubble floating on the surface of a cess pool.
It is pretty extensively believed in Nashville
that Brownlow is insane. AVe don’t believe it.
Insanity has been defined to be "the entangle
ment of thoughts.” but he hasn’t thoughts
enough to make a tangle. ’Tis a pity for him that
he isn’t insane, for it would be the only excuse,
uiter mental imbecility excepted, for the disgrace
he is inflicting upon the Stale in which he dwells,
lie calls himself a man of God. He professes to
be a messenger of “peace and good will to men.”
He holds liimselt up or out as a saint ordained
and annointed to establish tlie spirit of Chris
tianity among mankind. But he has ever pro
moted strifes and fights and bloodshed m neigh
borhoods. He has been a pest, an itch, a leprosy,
a yellow plague in every community. He lias
distilled venom like a human bohan upas. His
tongue has ever been “set on fire of hell” to kin
dle the wagging member. Beelzebub’s tail is
forever coiled like a snake around the old mis
creant’s neck. There has never been any more
religion or decency in his sermons or his prayers,
or his exortations, or his talk at deatli-beds, than
in the yallings ot hyenas, the cursings of pirates,
or the objurgations of harlots. He has desecra
ted the house of God as much by his blasphemies
as if he had stolen the sacramental vessels or
used them in treating hi- ■ abrogation to apple
jack. It is a wonder that i. > pulpit lie has
never been transfixed by the i .iked arrows of
God’s vengeance. lie professed to guide men to
Heaven, and curses them to hell. He would go
for universal damnation, provided lie could be
exempted himself. In his black robes and white
cravat, he might remind one of a black snake
with a white streak around his neck.
What an infinitely miserable old man this
must be. He never did a generous or kind thing
in his life, lie was ever meditating the gratifi
cation of his malice, lie has ever been seeking
to steal upon his unsuspecting neighbors like a
cat upon a bird. Every man has a deadly antip
athy to him. They say there are people who
have such an antipathy to black cats that they
instinctively know if one is within a hundred
yards of them in the darkest night, and we are
sure that decent people would recognize liis prox
imity at twice the distance. He can have no
healthful sleep, only convulsions. The whole of
the beautiful world—sky earth and sea—musk be
as black as Erebus to his eyes. Every sound
must be to his ears like a shriek of the damned ;
every drop of rain must seem to him a blasting
sirocco; every morsel of food a dose of infernal
brimstone.
The poor old wretch must feel terrible remorse.
He must teel as if his ribs were red hot gridirons
broiling his entrails. If every malignant and ac
cursed lie he has told were a coni of fire upon
liis body, he would writhe, and twist into a Taller
mountain of flame than ever tbe old Tartans
did. His heart is as black as ten thousand devils.
He sees behind him only the mounds over the
graves of buried victims, and before—only the
Dead Sea of Despair. Heaven, earth, and even
hell abhor him—though the Litter will manage
somehow to gulp him down, liis very face looks
like that of a dead man, who, mistaking a boy’s
tooting-liorn for Gabriel’s trumphet, has got up
for judgement before his time. His evil passions
have killed every semblance of human nature in
his features, if there ever was such a semblance
there.

A Chapter about Strawberries.
Now that we are in the midst of the strawberry
season, the following paragraphs from “ Fuller’s
Strwabeny Culturist,” will lie found interesting:
Strawberry Siiort-Cakes.—Into three pints
of flour, rub dry, two teaspoons heaping full of
cream tartar; add half a tea-cup of butter, a lit
tle salt, one teaspoon full of soda dissolved in a
pint of milk and water. Mix quickly and thor-
oughy, roll to an inch in thickness, and bake
twenty minutes in a quick oven.
Take a quart of strawberries, and add cream
and sugar to make a sauce. For this purpose
small-sized, rather acid berries, with sprightly
flavor are preferable.
When the short cake is done divide in three
layers, butter them, and spread the strawberries
between. Eat while warm.
Strawberry Dumplings.—Crust to be made
the same as directed for short-cake; roll half an
inch thick; put about a gill of strawberries for
each dumpling. Bake, steam or boil half an
hour.
Strawberry Pies.—Line your pie dish with
crust made in the usual manner; fill the disli
with good ripe strawberries of medium size;
sprinkle on a little flour and sugar in proportion
to the acridity of the berries. Cover with a thin
crust.
Strawberry Jam.—For every pound of
strawberries take three quarters ot a pound of
sugar. The berries should be mashed in a pre
serving kettle, and the sugar thoroughly mixed
with them. Boil from twenty minutes to half
an hour, stirring continually.
Strawberry JELLY.-Take strawberries when
fully ripe, strain, and to each pint of juice add a
pound of the best refined sugar. Boil briskly,
skimming when necessary, lor ten or fifteen min
utes, or until it will jelly, which may he known
by dropping in a little cold water. If done, it
will fall to the bottom in a mass.
Strawberry Cream.—Mash thefiuitgently;
drain it on a sieve; strew a little sugar on it;
when well drained, without being pressed, add
sugar and cream to the juice, and, if too thick, a
little milk. Whisk it in a bowl, and as the froth
rises lay it on a sieve ; when no more will rise
put the' cream in a dish and lay the froth upon it.
To Preserve Strawberries without Su
gar.—Put the fruit in the preserve kettle, and, if
very dry, add a little water to prevent burning.
Boil about three minutes, or just long enough to
be sure the whole mass is thoroughly heated—
not cooked. Dip into cans, filling them complete
ly ; seal quickly, and set in a cool place. (Glass
jars containing fruit should be kept in a dark
place, or covered with dark colored paper.)—
Open and add sugar several hours before using.
Strawberry Wine.—Take one gallon of
juice, strained, add two and a half pounds of su
gar (no water;) let it stand in an upen vessel 24
hours, occasionally skimming off t tie skum that
rises. Then fill the case in which it is put full,
reserving enough to fill up. as in process of fer
mentation, it runs over. When the fermentation
is completed, stop tightly. Let standtliree months,
draw off, and bottle.
Strawberries and Claret.—Over three
quarts of strawberries pour one bottle of good
claret wine. Add sugar to suit the taste.
would go and ascertain what it meant.
“ Take care, Surry,” was his reply; “ the ene
my is close behind us, and you will be captured.”
“ I reckon not.”
“ Well, keep a good look out. The Federal
advance-guard is commanded by Sir Percy
AYyndham, an English officer, who has sworn, I
am informed, that he will ‘ bag’ me. I should
be sorry to have him catch one of my friends.’
“ I defy him 1”
And with that spirit of pride which so often
precedes a fall, I put spur to tny horse, and went
at full speed in the direction of the dust, follow
ing a narrow forrest road.
Unfortunately Ashby's tears were speedily re
alized. I had not gone a quarter of a mile when
a detachment of cavalry flankers debouched
quietly into the road behind me, and leveling
their carbines, and ordered me to surrender.
It was tiie coolest and most business-like affair
I had ever witnessed, reader. No ill-bred hur
ry—no excitement—no “violent language,” or
unpleasant collision. Within twenty-steps of
me were twenty carbines, cocked and aimed at
m3* breast—the officer at the head of the men
commanded “ Surrender, or 3*011 are dead”—
and with bitterness in m3’ heart, I surrendered.
“ You are an officer, sir?” he said, riding up.
“ I am.”
“ What command ?”
“ The Confederate States army.”
“ Rather a considerable force in our front, lieu
tenant,” said the officer, who seemed to be some
thing of a humorist; “ send the prisoner under
guard to Colonel Wyndham.”
The lieutenant touched his hat—I remember
he was a villainous-looking fellow—and three
men separated themselves from the column and
took charge of me.
“ Kill him, if he triesjo escape,” said the hu
morist officer.
The men cocked their carbines, and rested
them across their pommels; and with this pleas
ing escort, I was conducted, by a winding road,
which I had remembered passing on the previous
evening.
Here superbly equipped homes were seen
tethered to the boughs and fences—couriers went
and came—and my escort conducted me into the
presence of Sir Percy Wyndham, commanding
the cavalry advance-guard of the Federal forces
I found myself in the plain sitting-room of a
farm house. On a table were spread maps and
papers; and a bottle of wine raised its slender
neck, flanked by glasses.
Lolling in a split-bottom rocking-chair was a
tall, fine-looking personage, clad in a superb uni
form, and wearing a sabre with a magnificently
chased hilt, which rattled against the French
cavalry boots, decorated with enormous spurs.—
The countenance of this officer was rudy, hand
some, and full of pride. His hair was light, long,
and worn in curls. It was a military Adonis I
saw before me in the person of Sir Percy.
When T entered, lie was talking with a sleek
personage, clad in citizen’s dress, who had on his
knees a portfolio, in which lay some loose sheets
of paper covered with writing. Upon my apj
pearance, this gentleman seized a pen, dipped it
in the ink, and held it poised above his paper,
with the air of a man who is going to report a
public speech.
“ A prisoner, colonel,” said 1113* escort.
The colonel wheeled round in bis chair and
looked keenly at me.
“When were you captured ?”
“ Half an hour ago.”
“ You are an officer—a major, I see, what com
mand:”’
“ I have already replied to that question.”
“ To whom ?”
“ The officer who captured me.”
“ Well, sir, you can, no doubt, favor me with
a repetition of the reply.”
I replied that I belonged to the Confederate
States army.
“Close, colonel! ” here interposed the sleek
gentleman in black, who had hastily scratched
it wav at liis paper as this dialogue took place.
“ A perfect trap! ” exclaimed the colonel, lol
ling carelessly in his chair; “ but I have never
known a single rebel officer who had not this ex
aggerated idea of secrecy in everything. Now, I
make no mystery of my movements—none.”
“ You are going to ‘bag Ashby,’ colonel, and
hat’s a fact,” came, with a laugh, from the sleep3 r
supported my view of the subject.
Reaching a point where the roads traversed
some low grounds, between two ranges of hills
ou either side, Colonel Wyndham saw in front column. Stock iu store greatly diminished,
of him, at the distance of about four hundred —
3*ards, a small body of cavalry, which slowly re
tired as he appeared.
The colonel greeted the spectacle with unmis
takable pleasure. j
Kow for it! I heard him call out to nisi been a slight advance, as will be seen by reference to our |
regular quotations in another place. All the leading ar
ticles in Drags and Medicines have been tending upward ]
for some days past. Factory goods have also gone up.
The receipts in donr have been very light for some
time. Priees remain firm at onr quotations in another
Bacon continues firm at unchanged figures. The sup
ply on hand is not over abundant, yet fully equal to the
inquiry. It has been coming iu liberally.
There was considerable inquiry yesterday for sugar,
! coffee and groceries generally, in all of which there has
friend, the correspondent, who had prudently
withdrawn to the side.of the road. “ Look out J
for some fuu ! ”
And placing himself in front of liis coiumn, j
the colonel drew his sabre and gave the order to
“charge! ”
The column rushed forward at the word—but
oh ! disastrous event!—occurrence ever to be de
plored !—no sooner had the horses of the Federal
cavalrymen run thrice their length, than the
crest on the right of the road, in tiieir rear, sud
denly bristled with sabres, and a squadron led
by Ashby l n person, thundered down and fell
with shouts' upon the Federal rear. At the same
instant, the detachment in front, which had served
as decoy, charged the enemy full tilt—and caught
between this double fire, cut off. surrounded,
dumb-founded—the Federal cavalrymen threw
down their arms and surrendered.
I was recaptured, and found myself by Ashby’s
side, face to face with Colonel Wyndham. The
newspaper correspondent had glided into the
woods and escaped.
I shall never forget the expression of the Fed
eral colonel’s countenance at that moment. If
ever rage, mortification and astonishment were
depicted on human face, his displayed them.
When he caught my eye he glanced at me like
a tiger, and turned abruptly away.
Ashby treated his prisoner with that calm
courtesy which characterized him, but the eolo
nel would not be molified. His face was flushed
his eyes full of lurid light—wrath had mastered
u 00
personage.

Marriage Incidents.—A clergyman in Glas
gow used to relate the following: In marrying a
couple, he asked the bride, in the usual form,
whether she would be “a loving, faithful, obe
dient wife The bride promptly replied that
she would be loving and faithful, but would not
venture on a pledge of uniform obedience. The
minister paused and demurred. “Just say awa,”
sir, ejaculated the bridegroom ; “she lias prom
ised to be lovin' aud faithfu,’ an’ foul la’ thae
fingers.” raising his fist, “gin she’s no obedient !”-
A similar narrative, in which the bride proved
height of the neighboring houses. The liquid the prevailing party, was told by the late Dr.
was accompanied with smoking masses of slimy j Maclean, of the Gofbals, Glasgow. The rever-
matter and ashes, which emitted a suffocating : end doctor, in marrying Yt couple, failed to obtain
smell ot gas. Engineers at once commenced I any indication from ~ the bridegroom as to
works to make a channel for the water, as tlm j whether he would accept the bride as his help-
ground had become saturated, and the walls of i mate. After a considerable pause, the bride,
the churches aud houses around were beginning i indignant at the stolidity of her intended hus-
to crack. The latter were evacuated by Their in-, band, pushed down his head with her hand, at
habitants. The eruption continued until mid-’ the same time addressing him aloud, “Canna ye

thrown up. The lights in' the neighborhood ! to the testimony of the Rev. Mr. M , who
wetv ordered to be extinguished, and no smokers ; performed the ceremony, more considerate in
her expressions. The bridegroom having given
no reponse to the question,though often repeated
by the minister, “Do you take this woman to be
your married wife ?” the bride broke in, “Deed
does he, sir; he promises a’ that ye require !”
At least 3*ou can tell me, sir,”
tie added, turning to me, “whether you know
Gen. Ashby.”
“Intimately, sir.”
“ Ah ! ” and the colonel rose in his chair.
“ I have been with him throughout the re
treat—though I am not attached to his com
mand.”
These words seemed to attract the colonel’s
attention and excite his interest.
“ Take a seat, major,” he said. “ I did not
hear 3’our name—”
“ Surry.”
“ An English name. You Virginians come of
the genuine English stock—and ought to fight
well.”
“ We try to do the best we can, colonel.”
“ And you do it devilish well, major. Ashb3 r
has given me a world of trouble.”
“ He will be delighted to hear it, when I get
back.”
“ Ha ! but I am not going to part with you so
soon, my dear sir. Let us talk a little first.”
“ Willingly, colonel.”
“ I have sworn to capture Ashby.”
“Don’t you think it is a difficult undertaking ?”
“Well, he is cool and watchful enough, but I
will get the better of him yet. I thought I had
him the other day at the bridge.”
“Over the Shenandoah ? ”
“Yes—did you see the chase after him ? ”
“I was with him.”
“Ah! then you were the other officer we
ran ?”
“Yes, Colonel; but your pursuing party went
a little too far.”
“How?”
“Asitby cut down one with his sabre, and the
other was shot.”
The Colonc-l frowned.
“And that’s a fact, Sir Percy,” said the sleek
gentleman, scribbling away. “I saw the bodies
as we passed.”
“Curse what you saw, sir,” was the growling
reply.
“1 wouldn’t take anything for that incident,
Colonel,” exclaimed the newspaper correspon
dent—for such he evidently was—“rapid retreat
of rebels, pursued by victorious Unionists—bridge
burning in the rear—Ashby on white charger
‘returning’ at full gallop—unfortunate fate of two
of his pursuers, who, surrounded by a whole bri
gade ot rebel cavalry, fought thefr way nearly
out, hut were finally killed by treacherous blows
from behind. It will be splendid. Colonel.”
A careless laugh from the colonel greeted this
magnificent pieti re, and, at the same moment,
an officer galloped up and entered.
“Well ?” said the colonel.
“The enemy are falling back again, sir—the
road is clear in front.”
“Entirely ?”
“Nothing seen, sir, hut a detachment of caval
ry, commanded ly Gen. Asliby.”
“How do you know that ?”
“I saw him distinctly tlirough my glass, and
know him perfectly.”
The colonel started up.
“Order a squadron of picked men to report to
me in fifteen minutes,” he said to a staff officer
on tiie porch of the tarm house.
Then, turning to the newspaper correspondent,
he said :
“Do you wish to secure material for a fine par
agraph?”
I would go through fire and blood to do so!”
exclaimed the correspondent in a martial tone,
and brandishing his pen.
“You like amusement?”
“I am devoted to it, Colonel.”
“Well, come with me and you will see some
fun.”
“What is3*our design, Colonel ?”
“To bag Ashby.”*
And the colonel twirled his mustache with joy
ful ardor. A quick thrill ran through me, and
assuming a careless tone, I turned to Sir Percy,
and said;
“I should really like to be present at that little
affair, Colonel.”
“You!”
“I can ride in the rear, under guard, and in
either event, there will be small danger of my es
caping.’’
“In ‘either event!’ My dear sir, I intend to cap-,
ture your General Ashby as surely as the snn
shines. AS you doubt it, have your wish, and
come aud see me do it.”
“And I, Colonel ?” said the correspondent.
“Of course! Yon are the historian to hand me
down to posterity.”
As the colonel, now in good humor, turned
away, I saw a grimimace upon the countenance
of the correspondent. He was evidently a phil
osopher, and estimated the element of failure in
all human affairs.
In ten minutes we were all in the saddle, the
colonel riding at the head of the squad at a trot,
on the straight road to Cross Keys.
The column had not advanced half a mile
when Ashby’s cavalry pickets appeared iu front,
reconnoitering from the hill.
The videttes held their ground until the col
umn was nearly upon them, when they galloped
off.

St. Louis Corn and Flour market.
From a circular we obtain the following information in
regard to the above leading articles :
Corn.—Receipts of the week have beeu large. The
market continued buoyant, and was a cent or two higher
last Thursday, when prime and choice white sold at 75©
6c; mixed white at 72@73c; prime and choice mixed and
yellow at G9@7*2c, in new sacks. There was a dull and
declining market during Friday, Saturday and Monday ;
prime and choice white closing at 70©75c; mixed white
at 66©68c ; mixed and yellow at 6o©67c, in new sacks.
Yesterday there was a sharp re-actiou and buoyant mark
et—prime and choice white closing at 72@78c; mixed
white at 0S©6!)c; prime and choice mixed and yellow at
67@70e ® bushel, in new sacks. Received to-day about
850 sacks, aud market active and higher. Sales exceed
10,000 sacks, including choice whitest 74©75c; prime and
choice mixed and yellow at 70@71e; mixed white 69©72c;
mixed and yellow at 6S@60c ® bushel in new sacks.
Flour.—Within the past week the flourmarket liasbeon
inactive and heavy, especially for the low, unsound and
doubtful grades, which are in large supply and difficult to
get off, while the best qualities of Buper, sound single aud
double extra—made from the finer grades of Northern
spring and club and choice fall wheat have continued to
rule pretty firm. The business of the week has been con
fined chiefly to supplyiug limited orders aud the local
trade demand, and on a very moderate scale, especially
in the past three days, and prices have ranged about as
follows: common and fine $4@5 25; unsound £350@6 25;
spring super $5 50@6 50 ; fall super $6@7 60; spring ex
tra $7@S 50; fall extra $7 75@9 25 ; spring double extra
£9@10 25 and $10 50; fall double extra $9 50@12; choice
and fancy country and city family brands $12 50@16 ®
barrel, and corresponding rates in sacks. The feeling was
a little firmer to-day, but business was small at steady
prices. Sales comprised less than 1000 barrels and a few
ltindred sacks within the range of prices above quoted.
Liverpool Cotton Circular.
WEEKLY REPORT OP W. C. WATTS A CO.
Liverpool, May 11,1866.
Cotton.—In our report of Friday*, 4th instant, the esti
mated stock was given at 784,630 bales, and we reported
the market as closing irregular at 13d to 14d for middling
American. On Saturday prices were rather steadier, but
no advance was obtained. Middling, from Savannah,
ship named, sold to arrive at 13d. On Monday advices
from New Y*ork to 26th ultimo were received, quoting
cotton nominal at 33c for middling, with gold at 129, and
reporting very large exports for week ending 13th ultimo
say 46,000 bales from all the ports. The decline in New
York was greater and the exports much larger than was
enerally anticipated, and had an unfavorable influence
upon the market. A fair business was, however, done in
American at unchanged prices, but short stapled descrip
tions Jfd to On Tuesday unfavorable advices pour
ed in from every quarter; dispatches from the Continent
represented war as almost inevitable; a leading London
paper described the panic in speculative securities as hav
ing “ assumed an intensity equal to anything ever wit
nessed in the various convulsions for the past thirty years.
The Bank of England, at an extra meeting of the Direc
tors, advanced the rate of discount from T to 8 per cent.
From New York advices to 28th ultimo were received,
reporting middling nominal at 31c, with gold at 129. The
result was a very small business, and prices closed at #d
to 2£ddecline for American, and other descriptions almost
entirely nominal. Ou Wednesday the low prices attract
ed more buyers, and American was steadier, but other
descriptions were again lower. Middling, May or June
shipment from any port in the United States, sold to ar
rive at 13j<d. Yesterday, the panic on the London Stock
Exchange gave rise to numerous reports of Bank suspen
sions, Ac. This caused a very gloomy market, and
prices were completely unsettled. Middling American
was sold at 12j£d, and insome instances Xd to Xdlower.
This morning, came the announcement of the suspension
of a leading discount house in London with liabilities es
timated at ten millions pounds sterling, this was soon
followed by the news of the suspension of a London
Bank, and rumor soon spread the report that halfa dozen
or more London Banks would probably suspend during
the day’. To add to the confusion and panic the Bank of
England put up the rate of discount from 8 to 9 percent
(an advance of three per cent in eight days). This com
pletely upset business in cotton. This evening.we have
the announcement that the Government has suspended
the Bank Act, and authorized the Bank of England to is
sue notes to the amount of five millions sterling over
and above the issue authorized by reserve of Bullion.
This is hailed as a timely measure of relief, and the com-
ruunitv seems to breathe more freely. There is now rea
son to'hope we have passed the culminating point of such
a panic as has rarely, if ever, been witnessed in commer
cial circles. Cottou closes to-day irregular at about our
quotations as given below.
In addition to other causes of depression it will be
seen, from onr tables below, that the imports of cotton
this week have been enormous, sav 150,951 bales, includ
ing 65.134 bales American. The total stock now stands
at 869.930 bales (an increase of 85,300 on last week), agansl
541.770 last year, an increase of 338.160. Reducing tbe
hina piculs to average bales, the Cotton now at sea for
Great Britain is354,(MiO iialcs in excess of last year; this
added to the increa-e of s‘ock makes the total excess ov
er last year, 682,160 bales.
The actual sales of the week, closing last evening, were
45,830 bales, ot which 33,3(Xj were taken by the trade,
4010 reported for export, and 3520 on speculation. The
small quantity taken for export is worthy of note as indi
cating the effect of apprehended war on the Continent.
Upon the latter point we will only add that all hopes of
peace being maintained are daily becoming feebler. Iu
conclusion we would remark, that surrounded as the trade
at present is. by so many depressing influences, little or
no attention is paid to receiDts at the American ports, or
reports however unfavourable, as to crop prospects the
esent war.
