pcated failures, particularly when foreign ;
advices are at hand and our merchants anx

be the result of negligence, exercise tne pro

The Foreign Intelligence-
Our columns this morning are principally
taken up with the European intelligence
brought by the Sarah Sands, arrived at jK?w
York. Although not of special importance
it is interesting, and will no doubt be gener
ally read. The speeches of the Queen of
England and of the King of the French, we j
give in full, as also some remarks of mem
bers of both branches of the British Parlia
ment. The intelligence from Ireland is tru
ly distressing, and some of the details given
are of too horrid a character to bo placed in j
our columns.
The Sarah Sands brought to New York |
fourteen passengers, 150,000 pounds sterling
in specie and about 500 tons of fine goods as
freight.
The New York Herald says, the Cambria ,
will bring out nearly 1,000,000 pounds ster- 1
ling in specie. A very large amount bad
been insured at Lloyd s when the Sarah
Sands left, full two weeks before the Cam
bria’s day of departure.
The returns from the Bank of England for
the week ending the 9th of January, gives
the following results when compared with
the return of the previous week:—
Public Deposits £b, 860.031 Decrease J 01 .129.933
Ollier Deposits 9,783,767 Increase 1,880,898
Rest 3,329,048 Increase 59,191
On the other side of the account: —
Gov’t Securities jC12,757,326 Decrease-C 69,036
Other securities 14,461.943 Decrease 606.8.2
Notes unemployed, 6,715,253 Decrease 1.511,839
The amount of notes in circulation,is JC2O,-
836,745, being an increase of JC305.G70; and
the stock of bullion in both departments, is
£ 14,308,022, showing a decrease of JCG43,-
550, when compared with the preceding re
turn.
The commercial intelligence is favorable
bo far as grain and provisions are concerned
.—but in regard to the great staple, Cotton,
it is unfavorable. Below we give such com
mercial intelligence as has come to hand.
The editors of the Charleston Courier
have been favored with the sight of letters
from New York, received by the Southerner,
dated 2 P. M. on Thursday.
One letter says: “the Sarah Sands brings
Liverpool dates to the 20;h ulr., quoting Cot
ton at a decline of This was quite un
expected to Cotton holders. The news has
also caused a decline in the New York mar
ket of about one cent.”
Another letter, of lha same date, stales
that Fair Uplands were sold the preceding i
day, (Wednesday) at 12j}, but on Thursday
the decline was considered to boos a
cent. Rice was in good demand.
[by THE SARAH SANDS AT NEW YORK.]
Liverpool Cotton Market, for Week end
ing Jan. B. The result of slock taking as repost
ed in our annual statement of imports. &r. as well
as the weekly circular published on Thursday last,
was to cause additional confidence in the article,
and hrin;: forward a considerable speculative de
mand. Prices also were raised from our quota
tions of the 31st about id per lb. Since that time,
an I especially during the last three days, tlie mar
ket lias gradually assumed a quieter and more set
tled appearance; speculation, perhaps, a little
checked by the upward tendency of corn and pro
visions, lias in a great measure subsided; and as
the consuming buyers have a little more time to
look about ami select their various qualifies, they
are obtaining about id concession in price. Our
quotations, therefore, will stand now about id
higher than tiie scale published on the 3 at, and
an id lower than at. the < lose of hist week. The
sales of to-day are estimated at 7000 bales. 3t)O0
being on speculation. 31,100 American. 1259 Per
nams. 1750 Jurats, 400 Egyptian, and 100 Maran
ham have been taken this week on speculation; •
aml 359 American and 200 Mira'.s for export. —
bales for the week are 53.039 bales.
Another Report.—ln the first few days of the ;
present year speculators purchased to a large ex
tent, but tiie demand from tiie trade was only rno- i
derate, and an advance of fully Id per lb wasgen
crally obtained for American; during tiie last day
or two, limve'er. speculators have suspended their i
operation®, and this advance has not been main
tained. the quotations being now nearly on a par
with tboseolS st Dec. Speculators have taken
31.000 American, 1250 Peruams, 100 Maranham.
400 Egyptian and 1759 Surat, and exporters 350
American and 200 Surat, bales for the week
amount t 053.03 ‘hales.
For Week Ending Jan. 15.—Almost to the
very hour, the Boston steamer Cambria came in, ■
ns expected on Wednesday evening. On Thurs- j
day, yesterday morning, therefore, everyone was i
anxious l<> learn tlie latest opinions and estimates !
on the all-interesting question—t be crop—whet her !
previous reports received confirm ition or other- j
wise, and if there was anv qualification of any
kind on the subject. A full examination of herac- |
counts leads to the conclusion that the crop cannot, 1
at any rale, prove more than a moderate one; that
the number of parties e-timaling the crop as high
as two millions is on the decrease, and the number
of those rating it under 1,91 0 GiO on lhe increase.
From the various correspondence we have seen,
ami taking into account the season of the year to
which vve have arrived, we think the public may
safely conclude that the crop of the United States
will not material! \4*x ceed two millions of bales,
with a reasonable probability that it w ill fall short
of that quantity. This important point, and to that
extent, being mainly settled in our minds, we look
with no little anxiety to the state of things at home
and abroad as affecting the consumption. No one
can doubt, that the advanced rales from 4d to Td
are calculated to contract the consumption; that
they have already done solo some extent is un
questionable. Another point furthering the same
end. in a strong degree, is the advancing price of
provisions throughout both this country and the
continent, with apprehensions in some quarters of
absolute famine, which will absorb a vast amount
of the labor of Europe, leaving hut little for any i
one beyond the provision merchant; perhaps dis- |
turhing the monetary establishments and commer
cial exchanges every where. Considerations of j
this kind may well give a more deliberate and
cautious character to the speculative movements j
in our staple article; indeed, were it not for mat
ter of this kind bearing upon us, it seems inevita
ble that prices of raw cetton must advance to a
point giving a more full encouragement to produc
tion, and a far more decided check than has yet
been given to the rate of consnmpton. This week
prices are without change. Before the steamer’s
arrival we were dull and flat; since that time addi
tional confidence prevails, and we clo-ed with our
quotations the same as on Friday last. 12,600
American, 200 Pernarns. and 1600 Surats have
been taken on speculation, and 1350 American
and SCH) Suart for export. Sates to-day 4 to 5900 j
bales, 20UU being on speculation, principally new j
Howeds. Sales of the week amount to 29,250
bales.
Another Report.—The demand in the early
part of the week v,as moderate, and prices ol A- j
merman gave way fully »c per lb; but since the
arrival of the steamer, on Wednesday, with rather
lower cstimat .-s of»-n»p, the speculative enquiry
has revived, and with greater firmness on the part
of holders, the market has nearly recovered the de- j
dine a.i*oV3 noticed. Speculators have taken l
12.690 American, 2'KJ Pernambuco, and ICOJ Sn- ;
rats. 200 Sea Eland and 300 stained, are de- j
t-lared for auction on Friday next. Sales of the I
week 29.200 hales.
Jan. 16, 18 and 19.—The market since our last
weekly report has been very quiet, and prices
have receded from our quotations of that day i
about id per 1,9. The sales are limited in extent,
and mostly all to tiie trade, ti"t more titan 8000 |
hales having changed hands duiing the three days
noticed above.

In the early part of the week cotton was in lim

yesterday, hut the market closes heavily with last ,

In Brazil a small amount of business is going on,

Havre Cotton Market, Jan. 7.—Throughout
the past week there has been a considerable amend- |
ment in the situation of our market, ow ing to the
spirited character of the intelligence from tiie oth
er side of I he channel, and also to the tenor of the
advices of the I6ih nit. from tiie United States, j
received by the Caledonia steamer. The accounts
front Liverpool have, however, chiefly contribn- '
ted to the speculative feeling that has predotnina- i
ted here, which has been uninterruptedly brisk, j
and produced an advance of 5f toGf on nearly all I
description of American cottons. Buyers have j
again directed their attention to cargoes for deli
very, and the transactions have been mostly in
New Orleans, on the basis 105 f to i()6f fur our or
dinary. At the present high rates, however, deal
ers for tiie trade refrain from co uing forward free
ly; the stock of the raw material being held by
speculators, who are rather disposed to raise than
lower their pretensions, will operate as a check
upon extensive purchases fur tiie manufacturing
districts until a change occuis; this will therefore
account for the limited demand f>r consumption, 1
w hich has been moderate for some length of time, i
and at thisdull period of the year is not 1 lively to |
increase very material'y.
January 15 —Up to the close of the past week I
our market maintained the same degree of spirit |
that distinguished it at tiie dale of our previous re- ■
port; specu'sition formed the prin upal feature in |
the. operations, w hich again consisted cbi.-fly in
cargoes deliverable at various periods up to the end
of March. But since tiie opening of the present ;
week, t lie intelligence from Liverpool being of a j
dull character, has created a corresponding feeling j
here, and within these two or three days specula- '
tors have displayed but little spirit, w itliout. how- |
ever, manifesting any want of confidence, lint l>n
sine-s upon tiie whole has assumed a heavy ap- \
pearance. Prices, although perhaps not quite so !
firm as previously, nevertheless maintain their
ground, and our stock of cotton being so very small, I
thy are not likely to he affected by the momenta- |
ry falling ofifin the demand, unless the next ad vi- !
ces from die oilier Side of the channel should be of ;
a gloomy tenor.

Corn r*. Cotton.
A large cotton planter near Vicksburg
(says the New Orleans Bulletin) asserts that
he would prefer making corn at 25c. per
bushel, to cotton at Bc. per ib.,and lias offer- i
ed to plant his entire plantation in corn this
year if he can contract for the same at 33c.
per bushel,delivered on the plantation, or the
bank of the river. A large corn operator of- I
sered to contract at 30c. per bushel, but the
parties did not ciose. This is worthy of re
fcctf'j).
Th 3 Ship Bfew York.
The Charleston Courier of tlie Is'.h inst.
says— ‘ This vessel, as we learn from letters
j which have been kindly shewn us, arrived at
Beaufort, (N. C.) on the 9ih inst., after being
twelve days at sea, from the time site floated
from the place where she went ashore. Be
ing light. and leaking, and a’so encountering
two gales of wind, it is fortunate that she
succeeded in reaching that port safely. The
siiip requiring some repairs will not come to
tins port, but will proceed to New \urk as
soon as possible.
“The schr. Sylphie Ann arrived here yes
terday, with about 1000 packages of nier
-1 chandize of various descriptions, being part
i of the cargo of the New York; and another
i schooner, the Swallow, had been chartered
; at Wilmington, for the purpose of bringing
on the balance of the goods. The latter ves
sel mav be expected hourly.”

ALBANY, G.v., Feb. 19.— Cotton. —Our mar
i ket remains firm, very few sales have been made
j this week, prices have ranged from 81 to 10.
WETU.MPKA, Feb. 12.—Cotton continues to
j arrive, hut slow—many farmers are holding on
\ with the expectation of an advance.
The news by the Hibernia seems to give an in
i dication of an advance. We quote this week 10
; to 1 11, and a good article would command a frac
| lion more.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 10.— Cotton. —Arrived
j since the sth lust.. 11.918 hales. Cleared in the
1 same time 1820 bales—making an addition to stuck
I of 7030 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of
all on shipboard not cleared on tlieOth instant, a
! stock of 2 14.500 hales.
On Monday rather more business was transact
ed, a single list of 3100 hales having been taken,
anil the total sales of the up 7000
hales, still at irregular prices, though a more reli
able guide to its position than we have had for
some days past was furbished in the large sale
ab*ve m-olioiied. which was generally declared
to t>e a good middling list, and the price paid was
lie. Yesterday there was some enquiry, though
no general demand prevailed, and the sales were
mo'ily i» limited parcels, amounting in all To some
4500 hales, prices being an i to Jc more iu favor of
buyers than on tlie day previous. Thus the sales
of the past three clays sum up 15,200 bales, and our
quota!! >ns, which have been arranged to conform
as nearly as possible to the condition of the market
at the close of yesterday, sliow a decline of fully I
a y*» j r lb from the highest point reached immedi
i ate after the receipt of the advices per Themis, ;
j some two weeks since. This great ami rapid de
j dine would appear to be partly attributable to the
unusually heavy stock on sale, but mainly to the
sodden advance in the rates of freight, which 1
were id for Liverpool on the arrival of the Themis. !
and now Id and rd have been paid—a difference j
of iaicperlh. The course of freights, which ap- ,
pear Mill intend upward, util exercise an impor- j
tant influence upon the future progress of the mar*
ket.
