From (Jla»g*w. By the Br barque Perthshire, Captain Johnson, arrived at Charleston on the 13th inst., the editors of the Courier received the Glasgow Advertiser, of the sth ult., fn-ra which they copy the follow ing commercial intelligence : GLASGOW, Dec. 4. Cotton. —Our Cotton market in the early parr of this week was exceed ingly dull, and prices had rather a downward ten dency; on Wednesday afternoon, however, we were put in possession of the Britannia’s letters, bringing decreased instead of increased estimates of tlie growing crop 11,900,000 hales being now the average estimate.) which has caused a very extensive business to be transacted, both on specu lation and for spinners’ account, at an advance of id to id per lb. on Surat and American descrip tions. A Little BusineM. The New York Sun, of the 9th inst. says—the importers are paying iheir duties in five cent pieces anil pennies. Men who would stoop to such little business in order to embarrass the officers of gov ernment in the discharge of their duties, and throw odium on a law because it does nut meet their views, should be held up to public scorn. They disgrace the name of importers, for heretofore this branch of business has been carried on by honora blc men, who would never stoop so low in their transactions. Tclt'gtuph Line s>ou fa. We see by the Charleston Courier, that -Mr. Lloyd is in that city, and urging the project of ex- : tending Morse’s Magnetic Telegraph from New i York to that city. A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of hearing some statements from Mr. L. on the subject. The Mercury says a meeting of the citizens will probably be called to consider the subject and for ward the project. The amount of money required to construct the whole line is but $150,000. The Savannah Georgian of the 13ih inst.says —We have this morning to announce the death of Col. Everanl Hamilton, one of our ! most respected Merchants. Col. Hamilton | once filled the honorable office of Secretary i of State, to which he as elected by the Le- ! gislatnre, and was a consistent Christain and : upright citizen. i Printing offoiigreix. The bids lor the public printing of the next Congress, were opened at Washington : on Saturday, in the presence of the Vice- ! President and the Secretary of the Senate, ; and the Speaker and Clerk of the House.— There were from fourteen to twenty bidders. : It is said that Messrs. Croawell and Van Benthnysen, of the Albany Argus, have se- | cured the contract. Promotion* from he ISanUs. A letter from Washington, to the Balti more Argus, states that the President “has ap pointed two soldiers Lieutenants in the army, for their gallant conduct on the three fields, over which our Hag has waved in triumph during the past year, and I believe it to be his intention to reward gallantry in what ever department of the Army it may be found.” The New York Express stales that Capt. Walker, of the Texas Rangers, has procur in that city lOUO Revolving Pistols for the new regiment of Mounted Riflemen. Further !»wi from \c w Mexico—Ktiimor eil EAcfcat of the Dra^oouo. We copy Li.e following Irom tuc iSt. Louis j Republican of Wednesday, H?h inst. . in addition to what was stated in our pa- j per yesterday, as derived from letters by the i last express (nun Santa Fe, a gentleman of j this city, connected with the army, lias fur- i liu>lied us with the following extract from a letter received from Fort Leavenworth, bv tne last mail. If true, the news is painfully important. The letter says: “We have dates from Santa Fe to Nov. 15 Capt. Burg w in, wiiii the dragoons, and also three com panies of Col. Doniphan’s regiment, have ■ gone below to the as->isfance of I lie traders. There is a rumor that sixty dragoons have been defeated by the Navoo Indians. Lieut. N .hie, of the dragoons, writes that ‘he fears and believes the minor is true.’ ” IfrThe hit wmg ot the {South Carolina Regiment passed through La Grange on the | 10th inst., on its way to Mexico. It was under tiie immediate command of Major G.adden. who was in charge in advance of Col. Butler, the commander of the regiment. Col. B. arrived there on Sunday night, and departed on Monday morning to join iiis men Congressional. In the Senate, on the 11th inst., a rather interesting debate arose as to the right of the Vice President to appoint a substitute in | case of his absence. He having requested 1 Mr. Atchison to preside that da}, as be was 1 detained at home by sickness. Fma iy, the i rule applicable to the question was referred 1 to the Judiciary Commit lee, and in the mean- \ time the Vitale proceeded to elect a Vice | President pro lem., and Mr. Atchison was | chosen. The remainder of the session was j occupied in the transaction of routine busi- | ness. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The bill to encourage enlist ments in the re- i gular army, received the signature oi the j Speaker, Messrs Burt and Bedinger ofVirginia, and Haralson, of Georgia, had leave to make per sonal explanations. The bill to increase tiie regular army—the ten regiments biH—was then taken up, the question being upon its passage. After the | decision of several questions of order, the bill was passed, hy yeas and nays—l6s to 35. Mr. Boyd moved a recon-ideration, and the I motion prevailed, 137 to 55. A motion to re-commit was lost, and sundry amendments, offered by Mr. Boyd, chiefly unimportant, but the principal of which provided lor the disbanding of oiiicers and men, at the close oflhe war, were adopt ed. The bill was then again passed, 171 t 034. A motion to reconsider this last vote, was decided by the Speaker, not to be in order. On motion of Mr. Douglass, tdre House then went into committee of the whole on the State of the Union, and took up the bill to establish the territorial government of Oregon. Several amendents, of unimportant char acter, were offered, discussed, and some adopt ed. The committee then rose and reported pro gress. Mr. Douglass presented a memorial from officers employed in the Exploring Expedi tion, stating that injustice had been done them in the published account ci that c.xpedi- 1 tion,authorised hv Congress, and asking its reference to the Committee on the Library, for investigation. Mr. McKay, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported the annual Civil and Diplomatic Approbation bill, and a bill, “to authorise an issue of Treasury Notes, and a loan (.§23.000.000,) and for other purposes,” which were read and referred to the Commit tee of the Whole on the JStateof the Union. Adjourned. Fire Between three and lour o’clock this morn ing a fire broke out in the large three story brick building on the North side of Market street, occupied bv Dr. C. H Fanknin.asan apothecary store, the properly of Mrs. Lmg. About 6 o’clock the fire was extinguished, having destroyed the dwelling and the con tents of the store. The exact cause of the fire we have not been able to learn, but un derstand that it originated in the kitchen, communicating with the stairway to the dwelling which rendered the situation of the inmates extremely perilous. They all, how ever, fortunately escaped to the street. Both house and store were partially, it not fully, insured. {Since the above was written, a report has reached us that a negro child is missing, and i is supposed to have perished in the flames.— j We have not been able, however, to trace : the report to any authentic source.— Charles i lon Patriot., 1 3 lh inst.

CAMDEN, Jan. 13.— Cotton.— Our market has been largely supplied during the past week, and prices have maintained their firmness. We quote from 84 to 91. Very choice brings something higher. NEW ORLEANS, Jan 9— Cotton. —Arrived since the sth inst. 16,151 bales. Cleared in the s nne time 8,143 bales—making an addition to stock of 8008 bales, and leaving on hand, inclu sive of all not cleared on the Bth in t., a stock of 165,222 bales. We left the cotton market, on Tuesday last, in an extremely dull, unseUfed and drooping state, tim principal buyers manifesting no disposition to come forward freely, even at the material decline then quoted, and the stock offering was larger than for some time previous. Since then the market i has continued to maintain a heavy and unsettled character, and but a limited business has been | done, as the principal operators still manifest a re- I Inctnnre to enter the market extensively without j further concessions, while on the other hand hold ers generally, though suffering some inconvenice ; from the accumulations of the past week or two, and the bringing forward of several parcels for I res ile on account of speculators, are not pressing i their storks upon the market. The transacsions of I the past three days sum up 5300 hales, of which i 2000 bales were sold on Wednesday. 2800 on ' Thursday, and yesterday, being a holiday, only | 500 bales were disposed of, so far as we could ! learn. These purchases have been generally for I tiie purpose of fulfilling freight engagements for ; various European ports, or for the North. As re gards prices, they still exhibit a good deal of irre j gularity. hut on the whole we do not find occasion ! to alter materially out previous range of quota tions, as easier rates of freight have tended in some measure to check the downward impulse, and in deed the market appears to he acquiring more firmness, particularly on the good middling and middling fair qualities. The total sales of the past week are 9100 bales, against receipts of 33,970 bales. 1 NEW-OHLEANS CLASSIFICATION. (Assimilating to that of Liverpool.) Louisiana Mississippi. Inferior, 81 Ord. togoodord. 84,5 94 Middling, Good Middling, 10 i#i)M4 Middling Fair, Mf.'aJMi Fair, Good Fair, Jlif®Hi Good and fine, 12 a— Sugar.--Our last report left the market with rather a drooping tendency, and it has maintained a heavy appearance during the past three days, the sales having barely reached 1000 hhds. taken mostly for the North, the Western dealers, as we have before remarked, taking the principal part of their supplies from plantation. As regards pri ces, they have receded fully an i of a cent on all but the inferior and common qualities, which are comparatively scarce, and our quotations are al tered accordingly—say far inferior 5 a 54. common 54 a 54, fair 54 a 64, prime 6| a 6f, choice in limit ed parcels 61 a 7 cents per lb. There is quite an ample stock on the levee, consisting principally of the fair to prime qualities. There is some enquiry for lots on plantation, but we have not been able to learn the particulars of any sales, though we understand that purchases continue to be made by VVestern dealers, the exact particulars of which are not allowed to transpire. Molasses —The demand for Molasses on the i Levee lias been l«c» active during the past three Hays than in the early part of the week, the sales having barely reached to 1500 barrels, taken prin cipally for Atlantic ports. The ruling prices have continued th* same as at the close of our last re port —say *251 a 25} for large, and 26 cents per gal lon for small parcels, though the market v\as rath er drooping yesterday. On Plantation we are ad \ ised of two crops.—4o,ooo and 24,000 gallons— both above the city, at 24c. per gallon, taken for the West. Also a crop of 30,000 gallons, taken for the North, at 24 cents per gallon. As we re marked in our last report, the difficulty in procur ing suitable vessels to load on the Coast is an ob stacle to operations on Northern account. Bacon. —The Bacon market has continued to improve and some 550 casks have been disposed of since our last, principally at 5 a 5? for prime Sides, and 3 a 31c. per lb. for Shoulders, including however 100 casks old and inferior Hams at 4, and 100 do. inferior Shoulders at 2}c per lb. The market closes firmly at 5 a 5} for Sides and 3 a 3} cents per lb. for prime Shoulders. Hams are also rather better and m ty be quoted at 5 a 54 for com mon. and 6 to 8 cents per lb. for canvassed and ex tra sugar cured. Freight*. —Cotton to Liverpool id per lb,; Ha vre!

Yesterday 500 hales at previous rates. Sugar —Market quiet this morning—sales 250 hhds Yesterday the transactions were large, in cluding one lot of 220 hhds. APALACHICOLA, Jan. s.— Colton. —The re ceipts during the past week amount to 1,882 bales, and tlie exports to 1.653 bales, leaving the stock on hand, including all on shipboard not cleared 12,641 hales, against 16.554 hales same lime la-t year. During the past week, and in fact the whole season up to the present lime, there has been but little doing in our principal staple, the weekly sales, since the market opened, averaging about 1,000 bales, which has been tak* n principally on Northern acconn’. Previous to the arrival of the Cambria’s accounts, which reached ns early last week, prices, ranged from 8} to 9} for middling to middling fair--stnce those accounts, the market has gradually stiffened, and may now he quoted full |c higher. The stock of cotton offering being very light, in consequence of the causes previous ly alluded to, factors have no occasion to press sales, and are very indifferent about selling unless at fn 1 prices. The sales of the past week amounted to 969 hales, and for the whole season, up to last evening, to about 4.000 bales. We quote in accordance with the p'rincipal sales yesterday, which were quite as high as at any previous period this season. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION. 1847. 1816.
