A new list, published by the General Central Committee for Ireland, shews that a considerable amount has been re ceived from various parts of Canada, chief! v through the medium of Archbishop .Murray, in Ulucbcc, the Protestant and Catholic bishops and the clergy of the various denominations, have afforded their most zealous co-operation.

Kflect of the on the -Market*. The Baltimore Sun of the 22d inst says.—‘By yesterday afternoon s Philadelphia Bulletin we have the following account of the effect of the news on the Philadelphia and New York mar kets: New York, April 22,1 P. M. The Cambria’s news received last evening by j telegraph has paral zed the market until such , time as private commercial letters are received. Theie has nothing more definite been received this morning. Cotton holders looked bright this morning, hut there is a stand off between buyers and sellers until more definite news reaches us. There is no movement of importance to-day. Those who have sold hour for future delivery have a trre.it interest at stake, and many either “make or break” as affairs turn up. Philadelphia. April 21. The advices hy the Cambria, have put a tem porary slop to the demand for breadstuff here, ami to-day prices are entirely [unsettled. No sales of flour or corn meal reported. A cargo of prime red wheat afloat sold atsl 57 i per bushel. O'The following is a portion of an inter esting private letter, written by an officer of the army, ami wKich will fully repay a peru sal. ? CAMP WASHINGTON, J (NEAR VEKA CRUZ.) / April Ist, 1847. 3 On approaching the town I was struck by its admirable defences. 1 can only speak of the Northern side, but suppose it presents the same appearance on all sides. Jmiwediately around the town there is a per fectly level space of about six hundred yards, of perfectly open ground, and if we had been obliged to storm the place, as I at one lime expected, at least two thousand men would have been cut down before we could have ( reached the ditches. The town is surround ed by a continuous wall, probably fifteen feet high, in front of which is a shallow ditch, made shallow, 1 presume, purposely, in order not to offer shelter to our men when in there from their musketry; sufficiently deep and wide to prevent us from leaping over, or gel ling out witli facility when in them. At short distances, perhaps fifty yards apart, are works projected out from the walls, works called Demi-Lunes, for the purpose of having a cross tire and sweeping the ditches. They have two faces and two flanks, ami are some- | what of this form. [Here is a diagram.] ; The tops of the buildings near the walls are ; crowned by sand bag parapets to protect those j using small arms. There are any number of forts both within and without the walls of the city. The lower part of the city, that is the portion next to our batteries, is very much riddled by our shells, several going in to one bouse sometimes. The loss of life was principally among the women and chil dren, the slaughter among whom is said to be immense, and this, [believe, produced the surrender—the commanding officer being de posed for his wishing to hold out. Among those killed was the wife of the French Con sul. All the female elite of the city were assembled in the house of the Spanish Con sul, hoping that flag would protect them, but u. shell came into the room where they were, and by its explosion killed dozens* All the foreign Consuls are very much to blame for persisting to remain after having been told that we were about to open our batte ries and that they had better depart, 'The English Conors daughter is not killed, as w-e at one time heard. At one lime during I lie bombardment a parley was sounded, and a request sent to Gen. Scott to allow the wo men and children to leave the city, which he properly refused, thinking that the retaining them there would expedite the taking of the place. When the bombardment was at its height, we could hear distinctly the cries of the helpless portion of the population, three wiles off; and the gates bpitig opened a per fect torrent of them poured out, and sal down under the walls on the outside—thus avoid ing our missiles. It is a place of immense artificial strength, and should uever have knocked under without a desperate struggle. The non combatants knew we were coming and should have left; not doing so, the place should have held out, even if every woman and child was killed and every house level ed with the dust. This, I consider, the duty* of the soldier. What was the use of its splendid armament? Not one twentieth part of its guns were ever fired a shot, and the quantities of ammunition are untold. To give you some idea of its armament, the Castle alone had upwards of two hundred pieces of ordnance. I had almost forgotten to say that } was very much disappointed by the appear ance ot the famous Castle San Juan, it is a lort that docs not overhang the town, as I expected, but is on a level with it, perhaps not ao high. It is only terrible to a naval force, and cannot betaken by all the Navy of the world, so Naval officers say. DR. J. A.
