LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY, Four o' Clock. By_ the arrival of the Garrick, Captain 'Trask, and the Montezuma, Capt. Lowber, in the Ifersey, we have NW York papers to the 6th inst. The news from the seat of war promises • speedy co wsian. While the army of General Scott was pre_ poring to march upon Vera Cruz, the Mexicans mid ace, appeared before Saltillo, and drove in the out postaof General Taylor. Goneral Taylor was, however, exceedingly strong there, having with him (1,000 men, who had marched with him from Monterey. Many believed that when the Mexicans discovered his s t r eagth, they • ould retire ; and in the army it was generally considered that Savta Anna meditated no 'emus blow in that quarter, the movement being a feint to mask his intentions of marching his main body to Vera Cruz. Rumours, however, bad reached New Orleans that a general engagement bad taken place, but little credit was attached to it. In the mean time, General lirrea had crossed the' ammtains to threaten Matamoras. He had with him 4,000 men, one-half of whom were the best soldiers of Mexico. Colonel Drake, commanding at Matamoros, had provided muskets and ammunition for citizens in mat of an attack, and had gent to Point Isabel for several pieces of ordnance. Troops were embarking at the month of the Rio Grande as rapidly as possible. General Scott sailed on the 13th. General Worth had not left on the 10th, and would not until the whole command was on ship-board. It was not supposed that the army could move from the Island of Lobos before the loth March. . . . A Tampico paper, of the 13th, contains extracts from papers of the city of Mexico, of 2nd februsuy, giving more full details of the capture of the seventy Americans by General Minon. A letter in a Mexican paper, dated San Lnis, January 27, announces the arrival of the prisoners, and the rejoicings over this bloody victory. It' states that Nlinon's force was 2000. The same lettA declares that the Americana were surprised early in the morning at a watering place. Gen. Minon reports his prisoners to be eighty-two in all. Besides Americans taken, there was one Mexican, named Gals no, who had been near our troops as a spy or guide. lie was immediately put to the sword, although Major Gaines interceded. The capture of Capt. lbady, with 93 of his com mand, which consisted of 30 Arkansas and 103 Ken tucky troops, is confirmed. The camp was surrounded the night after they had marched 40 miles. It is reported that Cassius M. Clay would have forced the ranks, but could not induce the others to anent, oa account of the Mexicans greatly out numbering them. The late Henry Mier, prisoner, acting as interpreter for the Arkansas troops, escaped from the Mexican camp on Major Gaines's horse. The New Orkans Pirap'ne gives the following' particulars of the troops wrecked in the Ondiaka: The Cayuga has arrived in the river. She left Tampico on the morning of the 13th inst. Our readers will rek,ice to learn that the four companies of Louisiana volunteers, wrecked on the Ondiuica, see all safe, with the exception of six, whom the colonel was constrained to leave behind. They reached Tampico city on the morning of the 9th inst., y speaking in good health, but very much exhausted t a y a tlT:i i s i t forced m.rches. Seven were abondoned a few miles from their first camp, being unable to march, and the men finding it impossible to carry them through the sand on litters. One of thee overtook the main hotly before they' reached Tampico ; the remainder will probably fall into the hands of the enemy. The following is from the Washington Maim: We understand that letters have been received from Major-General Scott as late as the 14th of February at the Bruce. Ile won making every arrangement to remove t' e beeps to the island of Lobos; but, contrary to his expecta tion, the ten transports which had been engaged at New Orleans, and the others which had been despatched from the northern ports, had not yet arrived. It is certain that they must have arrived there from both porta before this time. The ordnance, too, had not got to its place of desti nation. . . . . . Amounts hod been received that the Mexican troops were pouring into Vera Cruz, principally in consequence of the despatches which had been intercepted on the person of Lienteoant Richey, of the Infantry. It is also said, on highly respectable authority, that a Preach merchantman had just found its way into Vera Cruz with 10,000 stand of arms and 20 tons of gunpowder on board. It remains to be seen in what manner this vessel eluded our bl'elsading squadron. It is said that Commodore Perry, who left Washington hw days saw to embark in the steamer Mississippi (lately repaired at Norfolk), within a week goes to the Gulf to take the command of our squadron. The New York Courier and Enquirer says: We entertain the thorough conviction that General Scott will reduce both the city of Vera Cruz and the castle of San lean de Mos by the 15th of this month—and then leaving the city to the protection of the nary, which, with care on the part of the officers, need not suffer from yellow fever— and a small garrison in the castle, which is built on a reef of reeks, and being entirely separate from the land, would be more exempt from malady than a station on shore—the ge neral would probably march for the higher region—the table land of Mexico—and there maintain himself until safaciently reinforced to push for the capital, unless peace be Mantises negotiated. The New York Herald states that the United States line-of-battle ship Decatur has sailed, ostensi bly for the Pacific; but before she will have reached there, she will have taken part in the grand de monstration about to be made on the enemy's strong holds. She sailed in company with the sloop-of-war Decatur, but she will not go in sight of Vera Cruz until the retuning of the day when General Scott will atta, k that city. The ap pearanee of a vessel of her size and armament would reasonably induce the Mexicans to suppose that an attack was contemplated immediately, and it is to prevent this suspicion that she will remain out of eight until the eventful time shall have arrived. The Decatur will act as an agent to convey from the squadron there to her, and Inform her of the proper time to take her place. Between General Scott and Commodore Perry, who will relieve Corn- Mcdore Conner, signals have been arranged that will en able Commodore Conner to know the precise day or hour that he will commence the attack on the city. The time appointed for the demonstration, it ap pears, was the 20th hut. : lithe attack be made on the 20th, an express will, we andentand, be immediately sent to Washington, or to the nevelt point to that city, and the news will reach us about the OM of April. In the mean time, however, it is 'not im probable that a grand battle will be fought between the troops under Santa Anna and those under General Taylor. Two great battles at the same time would be a serious blow to Mexico. The New Orleans Pieayune of the 25th ult. says : We have conversed with an intelligent Spanish gentle lian, who left Durango on the 15th of January—Senor Benito, Velez. a nephew, we learn, of Peter Harmony, of New York. Senor Velez confirms all that we have said of the action near El Pala on the 26th of December. Tho loss of the Mexican in that affair was about 180 men. No news had reached Durango of the fall of Chihuahua Vital our informant left there. On the 10th of January Gen. Heredia left Durango for Chihuahua at the head of 790 men, of whom 150 were cavalry. He took with him 1,500 muskets and two pieces of When he reached Cuencame, in the north part of the Mate of Durango, he beard the news of the action near El Paso, and leaving there his infantry, he make/ on to Chi buhaah with his cavalry, with the view to assume the corn aund of the government forces them. The cavalry of Cuilts, which was in the action of the 25th tale:ember, and which protected as far as poacible the re but of the Mexicans upon El Paso, and afterwards Curiae!, bin dwindled down to a handful of desertions, which took PIM tt the different ranchos on the route. News bad maelesd Darsago that about the 6th se 6th et January two English ships entered the port of Maxatan, having evaded the blockade. They are supposed to have been laden with ammunition and other munitions of war. Santa Annahas left San Luis Potosi with his whole force, and his plan is said to be briefly this : 16,000 men to occupy the mad between Saltillo and Mon- terey ; 1,500 to march upon Monterey ; 1,500 to proceed to Victoria, and thence to Matamoru. Notwithstanding all these hostile demonstrations, the Nrso York Sun says it has good rectums for be lieving that the Mexican government will soon sue for peace. Previous to leaving San Luis Potosi, Santa Anna issued the following address : Head-quarters, Sen Luis Potosi, Jae. 27, 1847. The General-in-Chief of the Army of Operations of the North, to his Subordinates. Companions in Arlo! The operations of the enemy demand that we should move precipitately upon his principal line, and we go to execute it. The independence, the honour, and the destiny of the nation depend at this moment upon your decision. Soldiers! the entire world observes us, and will expect our acts to be as heroic as they are necessary.— Privations of all kinds surround us, in consequence of the neglect shown towards us for more than • month by those who should provide your pay and provisions. But when has misery debilitated your spirits, or weakened your enthusiasm ? To-day we shall un undertake a march over a desert eountry, without succour or provisions. But be assured that we shall be immediately provide 1 from those of the enemy, and with them you will be sufficieutly reimbursed. My friends! we go to open the campaign. What days of g lory await us! What a flattering future for our country! How satisfactory when we contem plate that we have saved its independence !—How the world will admire us!—How the nation will bias! And when in the beeoms of our families we shall relate the risks and fa tigues which we have endured, the combats with and tri umphs over a daring and presumptuous enemy,and hereafter, when telling our children that we have saved our country • second time, the jubilee will be complete, and theta sacrifices will then appear to us as nothing. Soldiers ! ! hurry forth in the defence of your country. The cause' we sustain is a holy one ' • never have we struggled with more justice, because we fight fin the land of our forefathers, and of our children, the honour and religion of our wives and children! What sacrifice, then, can be too great for objects so dear? Let our motto be—" Conquer or die !" Let us swear before the Great Eternal that we will not wait an in. scant is stas!isg ear Ile of the stranger who has slued to proton it with his presence. No treaty—nothing which may not be heroic and proud ! ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. Santa Anna, however, has his difficulties, if there be any truth in the following extract of a letter, said to be written by him : I am in despair at this very moment, for it is now the 2nd day of the month (January), and the different chiefs are almost mad, looking after provisions for their men. And still there are some writers who will inquire why our army does not move. This express has no other object thnn to snake known our sad condition ; and if the government does not send quick supplies, I cannot say how this will end." The spirit of opposition to the confiscation of the property of the church, by the clergy, appears to in crease rather than diminish. The clergy have issued a solemn protest, which we annex : Pretest of the Venerable Archbishop's Chapter against the taking Possession of the Church Property. This chapter haying been .o 'ormed from an undoubted source that the sovereign congress have this morning ap proved of an act for the taking possession of the church pro perty, wr hoot losing a moment for the preservation of those sacred rights charged upon them by the solemn canons of the church, have determined to direct to your excel lency this communication, with the object of making known that they cannot in any manner coincide with the measures entertained in the above named set, not daring to incur the ecclesiastical censures and penalties emitted at the end of the 11th chapter of the 22nd session of the Sacred Council of Trent, and reiterated in the third Mexican; and in consequence they hereby enter the most solemn pro test against the act now about to be sanctioned, only expecting, from the piety of the supreme government, that the afore-named disposition of the Sacred Council of Trent, which comprehends all whatever may be the dignity invested in them, and which inflicts the highest punishment upon those who disregard it, may be fully respected ; obeying likewise the fundamental law now reigning through the republic, which guarantees the property of our ecclesiastical corpora- Vona. May it please your excellency to make known to the most excellent Senor Vice-President, that these are the sentiments entertained by this Arehbiahop's Chapter. We present to your excellency the assurance of our di-- tinguished consideration and esteem. God guard you many years. Hall of the Sacred Church of the Archbishop', Chapter of Mexico, January 10th, twelve o'clock, M. FELIX OSORES, FELIX GARCIA SERALDE, Jose M. GUZMAN, To the Minister of Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs. The following is the latest from Yucatan : —By way of Ilavannah news from Merida has been re ceived at New Orleans to the 6th instant. The forces of Campeachy had entered Merida, the city having capitulated. Senor I). Domingo Barret has been nominated Governor of Yucatan. The Government and Council of State are transferred to Campeachy. The blockade of Laguna and Campeachy had been suspended so long as the most absolute neutrality should be observed, and vessels could come and go freely which should not attempt to carry by stealth munitions of war. The sittings of congress terminated at Washington on the 4th. _ The Sub-Tresaury Act was defeated. The. Military Bill pawed, omitting the appointment of a Lieutenant-General. A bill to establish a line of five new steamers be tween New York and Liverpool, as well as a line of five from New York to New Orleans, touching at Savannah and Havannah, was passed, and the con tract for the Liverpool line was taken by E. K. Col lins, Esq., a gentleman well known in the Liverpool trade. A bill, providing for the construction of additional war steamers was also passed. The intended renewal of the attempt to impose a duty on tea and coffee has expired. The proviso against slavery having been rejected, the Three Million Bill finally passed. 'like following is its principal provisions : To enable the president to conclude a treaty of peace, limits, and boundaries, with the republic of Mexico, the sum to be used by him in the event that said treaty, when signed by the authorised agent of the two governments, and duly ratified by Mexico, shall call for the expenditure. Congress has rejected the appointment of Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, as Minister to France. Richard Huak has been nominated ; the same gentleman who so dis tinguished himself as Minister to England. David Tod, of Ohio, who has run several times for governor, and is a very popular man, was nominated to Brazil, and confirmed. Mr. Wise comes home. Major-general Benton has been appointed to the chief command of the army ; a proceeding which appears to be exceedingly unpopular, as he has never seen any service. It is probable, however, that his office will be more of a civil than of a military nature. Senators Houston and Rusk were both offered the major-generalship at the latest hour, and declined. The vote of thanks to General Taylor and his army passed the Senate on the Ist March. It includes the presentation of swords to the General and his princi pal officers. The President, in presenting the correspondence with Gen. Taylor, accompanied it with the following message To the House of Representatives of the United States. — I communicate herewith a report of the Secretary of War, with the accompanying documents, in answer to the resolu tion of the House of Representatives of the lot inst., request ing the president " to communicate to the House of Repre sentatives all the correspondence with General Taylor since the commencement of hostilities with Mexico, which has net yet been published, or which may not be deemed detrimental to the public service; also the correspondence of the quarter mantergeneral in relation to transportation for Gen. Taylor's army ; also the reports of Brigadier-Generals Hamer and Quitman of the operations of their respective brigades en the 21st of Septembm last. As some of these documents relate to military operations of our forces, which may not have been fully executed, I might have deemed it proper to withhold parts of them, under the apprehension that their publication at this time would be " detrimental to the public service," but I era sa tisfied that these operations are now so far advanced, and that the enemy has already received so much information from other sources in relation to the . intended movements of our army, as to render this precaution unnecessary. James K. Pox'. Washington, February 27, 1847. IRISH RELIEF' FUND.—The amount already contri buted is pot down as follows : New York, 78,414 dollars ; Now Jersey. 5,22 8 ; Rhode Is land, 7,669 ; 3,287 North Car, 1,350; Alabama, 760; District of Col., 600; Maine, 429 ; Pennsylvania, 29,483 ; Massachusetts, 31,577 ; Maryland, 7,500; Ohio , 12,000: Georgia, Missouri, 1,7507 Louisiana, 13,000; Connecticut, 1,050. In all about 1911,239 dollars. The Washington Union gives the following sum mary of the proceedings of the last, the twenty-ninth Congress : This 29th Congress has left a broad and strong mark on the foreign and domestic policy of the country. Events and acts which will make an important part of the history of the country, have rapidly followed one upon an other through both its sessions. During the sessions of this congress, three new states—Texas, lowa, and Wisconsin —have been ad. raided into our union, and a new territory, under the name of Minesota, has been organised. The territorial bill for Oregon has failed to become a law ; but the great Oregon question no longer hangs gloomily over the foreign relations of the country. The eatablubment of an equitable and de in the tariff of 1846, has thus far us:antic revenue ',Sten, I Pmelm ' '0 444 244 474 107 HI Vie trotell N 0.177.) LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 25,1847. [3d. folly answered, as a revenue measure, the anticipations of its friends. The statement of the secretary of the treasury, pub. lished last evening, shows the great/tog fact that the first three months of the operation of the new tariff have wit nessed an addition to the revenue, collected at the sin principal ports of the union, of more than eight hundred and sixty thousand dollars over and above the amount re ceived at the same ports during the corresponding period of last year of the tariff of 1842. Tile constitutiona l treasury, so long called for by the people, has been established, and its capacity, • fiscal measure, has been put to the severest test in the conduct of the fiscal operations of the government during a time of war. There can be little doubt that it is re garded with growing favour by the people, though it is un questionably. to be regretted that acme very desirable amend mentsto it, including the establishment of a branch mint in the city of New York, were lost in the Senate, in opposition to the wishes of a large majority of that body, through the ill-judged and frivolous interlerence of Mr. Senator Badger. The ball for providing for the construction of four war steamers of the first class, and for three distinct lines of mail steamers—one from New York to Liversool, to consist of five ships ; one from New York to New Orleans, via Havannah, also comprising live ships, with a branch line from Iravannah N Chagres ; and one front Panama, am the Pacific, to Oregon, and the intermediate ports—will doubt less prove to be a measure of high utility. The organisation of the Smithsonian Institute seas an act of justice to the mrmoryof a liberal and public-spirited philanthropist, which had been already too long delayed. It is to be regretted that the consular bill, brought to the attention of Congress at an early period of the last session, by Mr. Campbell, of New York, has not been acted upon ; mad it is espe,ially a matter of regret that the senate should yesterday hove failed to pass the bill from the house providing for the establishment of consular tribunals for the protection of our citizens in China. The establishment of a Court of Admiralty at Key West, in Florida, sober* as mods iiipsnroelos4 peoperty is annually collected, is a measure much wanted, and will pro tect commercial interests from much inconvenience. The legislation of this session, in view of the war with Mexico, has been important, and though too long delayed, will doubtless conduce to vindicate the rights and sustain the honour of the country. The immediate warts of the treasury have been provided for by the loan bill, which appears to be most skilfully adapted to answer its purposes in avoiding all sacrifice of the public credit. The army bill will send new and most efficient fotce into the field, and permission has already been made by law and by Executive action, to secure for it the service of commanding ability in its guid ance and military organisation. The Three Million Bill, a peace measure. so strangely opposed by the professed friends of peace, and complicated en prematurely and unfirtunately with ot her agitating questions, is now the law of the land, and will he found effective, we trust, in facilitating negotia tions, and in aiding the vigour of our arms to bring the war to a prompt and satisfactory close. Of the great measures recommended by the Exeen five, two only of primary and pressing . importance have, so far as we now recollect, failed to is cove at least, in some modified form, the assent of Congre-s. These measures are the bill for additional revenues, and the bill for the gradu ation of the public lands. They were at last included in a single measure reported from the Committee of Ways and Means, end bearing, as they both do, upon the paramount interests of the country, and specially demanded as they are in the present crisis, to aid in sustaining the credit of the country, we Cala Ot too strongly express our regret that they have failed to become • law. The democratic majority in Congress has fallen far short of its usu a patriotism and fore sight in permitting these measures to tail. Respecting Gen. Benton's qualification to command, the f'ourrer and Enquirer says : The public mind is painfully anxious about the question of who is to lead the war in Mexico. If bisjorGeneral Benton, who never beard a shot whistle but in a street tight at Nashville, or a cannon roar in earnest but upon the day that the gun of the Princeton burst, is to drive out of the field such veteran, as Scott and Taylor, or his now superiors in rank (Generals Butler and Paterson) there will he a storm of indignation in this country. such as never buret upon an executive before. The appointment Grouch a rum as Benton, however distinguished in political life, to a military rank de I served by General Worth, or General Woel, or by a dozen others that could be named, is an outrage. He known no more of the art of war than of the art of watchmaking; hut in his idea of his own fitness there is an audacity that mimes him think he is qualified for any and every thing. There is no manner of doubt that Major-Gent ral Benton was made • major general of, with the view of taking the war into his own hands. Ile told the country, some time ago, that he had a plan in his head that would settle thing. in Mexico, but what that pled is he reserved for posterity— not for us. It is hardly to be prwurned that Mr. Polk is so insensible to the glorious reputation of both General Scott and General Taylor, as not to know that the country will not patiently submit to their being superseded by such a mere politician as Mr. Benton ; hut over such a mind as that of Mr. Polk, such a will ü ßenton's has a sway that can mike it do its pleasure in the end. What that pleasure is remains to be seen ; and we fancy it is to be regulated in • good de gree.by the estimation Mr. Benton puts on his merits and qua tficatlons, an estimation never light. The country have the greatest confidence in the military I qualifications both of General Scott nod of General Taylor, and they also have the highest confidence in each other. They are friends and fellow-soldiers, and will harmoniously co-operate the one with the other. Both have won their position, too, not in the political field, in wordy warfare, bat in the battle field, and by hard knocks, and both deserve well for their services of the country. New, no new majors general can have the confidence of their troop that they have, and none can be rent there to take from them the supreme command, without bringing hitter beartburninge where all now is harmony. Not even the major-generals of Mr. Polk's own creation, viz., Generals Patterson and Butler, will put up with such • supersedeas, if they have within their bosoms any of the spirit or pride of a soldier. A lieutenant-general was • bad conception, when such Generals as Scott and Taylor were in the field, but the idea of making a junior major-general to take rank of four seniors now in the field, is u foolish in conception es it would he outrageous in execution. The only excuse Mr. Polk has for indulging in it is envy of the rising fame of General Taylor, and fear of adding laurels to Gt neral Scott, — but such an excuse cannot be named. It is very true that it is given out in eateries in Washington, that General Scott is extravagant in his call* for supplies, but in due time it will be found there is no truth in that complaint The vast job before him of over-running such a republic as that of Mexico is not to be executed without vast supplies, but it will be found that the requirements, even, have not c 'me from him, and that others are responsible for them. Mr. Polk will find, we trust, on further contemplation (and also Mr. Benton), that the very worst way of preventing Scott or Taylor's being formidable candidates for the presidency, is to recall or supersede them in the conduct of the war. - - • •-• The Montezuma brings the important intelli gence from Baltimore that the House of Dele gates bad closed its sittings on the 27th of February, after passing a bill for resuming the payment of interest on the public debt on the lit of January next. The vote was carried by the narrow majority of 42 against 38. The 6 per cent. stock advanced in consequence to 86. The commercial news is satisfactory. Cotton had declined, so had corn, and the flour market was dull. The exchanges were still against us. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW Yosx, MARCH s.—The markets were mostly quiet, and presented little change since yesterday's report. The uncertainty about freights tended to check operations. The large number of vessels which arrived a few days since (which it was believed at first would have reduced the rates of freights) it seems, from the fact of many of them being engaged previous to arrival, the expected decline was not realised. Within a day or two easterly winds have again pre veiled ; and a number of vessels being due, it was supposed many were off the coast, ready to enter the harbour on a change of wind to the south. In this state of uncertainty, the rates to Liverpool, though nominally the same, were rather heavy. Small sales of Gene sere flour were made at 7 dole. ; southern was quiet at 6 dole.

Corroe..-Since the departure of the Hibernia, our sear. ket has receded quite as rapidly as it advanced the prey dow month. For the first six clays after that date the sales continued lame, but as holders seemed disposed to meet the viesse of buyers . , prices gradually became easier, together with a tellies oft in the amount of sole., until on the morning of the 10th inst. a decline of half a cent. was established. About 2 p.m. on that day, we were placed in pos. swim of four days' later accounts: of your market, by OM packet-ship Admiral, from Havre; but as th; ateamiltip Sarah Sarids, whose day of sailieg was the 20th ultimo, was telegraphed shortly after, business was auspeaded until her adviees could lie received, which beinglate in the day, and advising of a deeline of Id., • eto all business ensued. On the neat day there trenaniniegsq_pf any moment, ea all parties .ap paarad taken by sum - !be, except freight owners, who rapidly advanced their rates on grail., fur which any amount of orders appeared. Under the famine excitement, our staple at once lost its importance, and during the lollowing week sunk daily in value with limited sales, until a decline of one and • half cent., on the news per the Sarah Sands, was established on Saturday the 20th inst., with freight at Id. ; at which rate, in fact, only limited parcels could be en gaged. The Cumbria's arrival at Boston with dates to 4th inst., was announced late on the 20th instant by the telegraph. Some delay occurring in the receipt of the letter mail, joined to the departure of the Sarah Sands on Wednesday the 24th inst., exporters as yet have not appeared in the market, which has, however, assumed more steadiness, chiefly from the fact that speculators in the article appear to nave entirely sold out, and the stock now is mainly in strong hands, who appear disposed to await the time for the reciepts to fall olf,inl some abatement to occur in the present enormous rates of freight. We reduce our quotations from two to two-and.a-half cents., except on the highest grade, for which prices are meetly arbitrary, being now rather 'war than those existing on 31st December. The sales for the week ending Gth instant, were 10,000 bales; for the week ending 13th instant, 7.000 bales; for the week ending 20th Midair, 4,000 bales. Since, to date, 2,600 bales. The aggregate movements in the staple this season, cote. pared with those in the previous two, have b. en as annexed :—lteeeipts at ports of the U.

CHARLESTON, FEB. 26.-Floor: The market for this ar ticle is in a very unsettled state, and our quotations for it more or less nominal. There is only a sparing demand by bakers, and if holders were to attempt to force sales, a decided decline would be the consequence. The receipts of corn during the past week consist of three cargoes of North Carolina, about 7,000 bushels, and 13,800 bushelp, principally from Oeorgia, by the railroad. The former sold at 95c. to 1 dol. per bushel, and 4,000 bushels of the latter at the commencement of the week at the same, bags included.
