GENTLEMEN,—At the serious fire in Union-street, yester day, by which my counting-house was destroyed, I owed the preservation of my books to the Milners' Site in which they were kept.

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST. MESSRS. MUSORAVES BROTHERS. GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, for the in formation of the public, that the only property saved from the late fire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co., was that contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de struction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testifying to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any protection, where it remained till the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room be • neath. the floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.— Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co. Belfast, January 2, 1854. MILNERS' PWENIX SAFE-WORKS, WINDSOR. SHOWROOMS, 54, LORD-STREET, LIVERPOOL. DR.

In this distressing and painful condition of body and mind, she was persuaded to have re course to your invaluable Ointment and Pills. which she immediately did, and in the course of a very short time the effect produced was most astonishing; her appetite was speedily improved the sores and ulcers in the breast gradually healed, and the nervous excitement of her system was wholly removed.—l remain, Dear Sir, yours faithfully.

A new and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, it is the pro duction of an entirely new description of Artificial Teeth, ' fixed by his New Patent System of Self-adhesion and Capillary Attraction without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so per fectly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extrac tion of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever, and from the nature of the materials used the most perfect fit is obtained. The invention isof importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of this new method. Mr. Howa RD, Surgeon Dentist, 17, George-street Hanover square, London. At home from 11 till 4.

C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant Surgeon to her Majesty; Sir D.

WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY.-.- PATRONISED BY THE FACULTY. For the instant relief and speedy cure of ASTHMA, COUGHS,- COLDS, and all pulmonic Affections, Las received the stamp of public approbation. The triumphs of this remarkable Cough Lozenge, in cases of Asthma, Hoarseness,Loss of Voice, and Tightness of the Chest, become constantly more and more astonishing. Common coughs, when no physical disorgani zation exists, and sore throat immediately yield to its healing influence. It strengthens the lungs to resist the effect of sudden changes in the air, and it healthily braces and in vigorates the chest. No remedy can be resorted to that af fords such real ease and comfort to the chest, which so un clogs the lungs or so pleasantly clears the voice, as WOOL. LEY'S PECTORAL CANDY. F or aged persons it is invaluable; and none, whose lungs are in the least susceptible of cold, ought to be without it. Although powerful to con quer disease, and exerting a decidedly purifying influence on the blood, these Lozenges disagree not with a delicate constitution ; on the contrary, their influence is proved, by a very large experience, to be uniformly salutary and strengthening. Full directions for use. accompany each box. The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly effected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY : Itedditch, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.—Sir, I have the pleasure of informing you of the cure of a sister of mine of Asthma of ten years' duration, by your Pec toral Candy.—l am, yours truly, JAMES DUGGINS. Tem perance Hotel.—N.B.—l could tell you of another cure, but the person said he should write to you himself. This was the person who recommended it to my sister. 1, Kirby-street, Poplar, London, September 30th 1851. Dear Sir,—l cannot speak too highly of the excellence of Woolley's Pectoral Candy. I have sufferd for years with a dreadful cough and difficulty of breathing. In this distress ing state, I was recommended to try Woolley's Pectoral Candy, the first box of which gave me great relief; the second box completely cured me. I have recommended them to many of my friends who were similarly afflicted, who have all received the greatest relief from them.—l am, sir, your obliged, OCTAVIDS GLYN.—TO Dr. Kernot, Surgeon, &c., Chrisp-street, Poplar, New Town, London, Agent for the sale of Woolley's Pictoral Candy.

NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL.—BRANDE'S BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE, equal in Medicinal effect to Two of any other preparation for Coughs, Colds, Bron chitis, Asthma, Pulmonary Phthisis, Influenza, Derangement of the Voice, and all Affections of the Chest and Lungs. Compounded under tae direction of a Professional Gentleman, who for many years has made the Anatomy and Pathology of the Chest and Lungs his particular study. The Influence of BRANDE'S BRONCHIAL SEDATIVE pursues the exact tract of the inflammatory action causing cough. First soothing the glottis and epiglotis (the organs of voice), its sedative influence passes along the mucous lining of the windpipe unto the bronchii, and allaying pulmonary irritation, giving ease and comfort to the chest—restoring the voice to its accustomed clearness and power.

Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITAE, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances, where occasionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Mr. Smith, St. Ives: "Since taking your Pills I have not once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this would be the case generally, if people were not so much ,governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray: " Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have had 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : "I find your Pilulfe Vitae a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Nlaent wrog, Tan-y-Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compli ments to Dr. De Roos, and be finds no medicine do him so much good as his Pilulae Vitae." Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more important articles o f h ea lth than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseast's so prevalent abroad ; as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emigrant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative.

LIFE ASSURANCE and ANNUITY SOCIETY, 3, Parlia ment-street, London,.(Established l 8 2,) do not become void through the temporary inability, from unforseen circum stances, of an Assurer to PAY A PREMIUM when it becomes due, for by making application -to the Directors he - will be allowed once (or oftener should the value of the Policxat the time of application permit it), tb have the privilege of SUS PENDING THE PAYMENT of that Premium (provided he haa already paid three whole Premiums at least on the POlicy). And his Policy will be endorsed to the effect that it continues in force, as if the Premium omitted were paid, being however charged with a debt equivalent' to that Premium and italn terest at per cent., which will be deducted from • the amount of the Policy when the - Assured dies. The Policy Holder shall, however, have it in his power to free his Policy from the debt at any time by paying the amount due. The great advantage of this feature must at once be seen, since it removes the usual objections to the ordinary system of Life Assurance ? by which' an Assurer often loses all the benefit he sought in paying regularly the Premiums for many years on a Policy, because from temporary difficulties he i,‘ unable to pay a Premium where its becomes due, and the Po , licy consequently lapses to the Office. The Directors of this Society are open to proposals for , Assurance to any amount. The Society defrays the cost of Policy Stamps and Medical , Fees, so that the Assured are subject to no charge beyond the Premiums. Attention is also invited to the rates of ANNUITY GRANTED TO OLD LIVES, for which ample security is provided by the large capital of the Society.

The legislative assembly on Monday agreed to the bill authorising the minister of finance to con tract 'a loan of 250,000,000 francs. The bill was agreed to unanimously, without discussion, by the 238 members who were present. On Tuesday the committee of the legislative body, headed by its president, went to the Tuileries to present the bill to the Emperor. The whole chamber accompanied the committee. Twelve steamers are in course of armament at Toulon, and in a few days will be ready to sail with the troops destined for the east. The first division will leave on the 20th instant, and the second on the 15th of April. It is said that Prince Napoleon will not go first to Constantinople, but to the Greek frontiers. He will take with him a numerous corps of Chasseurs of Vincennes. General Moore and 40 English officers arrived on the sth at Marseilles. Letters received from Algeria give as positive that 6,000 Zouves (infantry) have received orders to prepare for immediate departure. The Zouves are, perhaps, the best troops in the French army : they are hardy, energetic, and brave to temerity. Some of the most illustrious generals have risen from their ranks, such as Lamoriciere, Cavaignac, and others. They are volunteers—sons of some of the best families in France. Their dress bears a strict resemblance to that of the ancient Turks—a turban, loose trousers, &c. This corps was orga nised when France first took possession of Algeria, and has ever since been actively engaged, princi pally as an advanced guard. The men are accus tomed to hard living and privations of every de scription, having been always quartered in the most disturbed districts, and never garrisoned in any of the towns. The Count Thibaudean, Member of the Senate, died at Paris on Wednesday, at an advanced age:, He was the last surviving Member of the Conven tion who voted the death of Louis XVI. The Duke of Cambridge;. Lord Raglan, Sir Geo. Brown, and the other Generals were expected to arrive in Paris on the 12th, but there are some doubts if they will arr:lve before the 21st. Prince Lucien Bonaparte, brother of the Prince of Canino, has left Paris for Italy, on a special mission from the French , Government. Letters from Toulon, of Wednesday, state that orders had been received there for a large embark kation- of troops between the 15th and 20th inst. Four men-of-war from Toulon are destined for the reinforcement of the Baltic fleet.. It is-said that should circumstances require it, the French force for the East will exceed 100,000. The first corps, that is, the one intended• to be first on the ground at the opening of the campc.ign, will be from 48,000 to 50,000 man,. with , successive reserves, vitieh will complete the amount men tioned. SPAIN. There are- reports of a difference- having arisen between England and Spain, and of 'the. expected recal of 31. lituritz to Madrid.. The persons expelled from. Spain and sent to Cadiz , are to be transported to the Canary Islands. With• regard to the Queen of Spain, the people no , longer cry, as did the National. Guard of Saragosß;:whem flying to arms to reel the nocturnal attack of - Caballero and his Carhsts, " Viva la _Reyna, annque no lo Inerezea !" (Hurrah for the Queen, though, she does not deserve it -1 4 They receive her inlgloorny silence—with sneers, not smiles—and' many a scornful remark and Witting jest is made upon her as she passes. The ministerial papers give glow ing reports of her- enthusiastic reception. by her faithful subjects ; but these are just as true as their daily assertions of the unbounded prosperity and contentment of the whole country, and they deceive no one. During this-Carnival the Queen has-been repeatedly abroad, on. some occasions in an , open carriage, with her " august husband," as the organs of M. Sartorius call poor King Francisco, and; her "most lovely child," as they style the sickly infant, who was held up in a- fancy dress, in hopes of'Win ning tokens of sympathy and respect from the mob. It:was all in vain. Fit few hats were lifted--nom a voice was raised ! ITALY. There has been, in. Calabria, a succession: of earthquakes, attended with a fearful loss ofafe. The Castle of Cosenza,has been entirely destroyed, and all the garrison buried in the ruins. AN/Nage, containing nine hundred inhabitants, near the:same place, has likewise, with :its whole population,...been destroyed. Up to the-last accounts the loss of life was calculated to amount to upwards, of three thousand souls. AUSTRIA. The Austrian govermnent has publishedlatt offi cial document, in whieh it makes known its. views in regard to the differences between Russia and Turkey. In this document the Austrian: govern ment expresses regret that the communication sent by the Western Powers to Russia is. of;'such a nature as to leave hardly any hope of a favourable reply. The document proceeds to say that it was never doubted by> the imperial governmentzthat the demands of those powers were just, andlim accord ance with the interests of Europe. Till, the very last, the imperial, government has obeyed' the calls of duty to Europe, and those of friendship to its imperial ally. Should war take place,,thesole duty of the Austrian, government is to, maintain the interests of the nations under the sceptre of his Majesty, which interests are not in: conflict with those of any other nation. Austrians prepared to meet the dangers which may accrue from a great war in an adjoining country, and . from, the subver sive tendencies which: may manifest themselves on the frontiers of the empire during, the continuance of that war. An army will be formed in Moravia, with the left wing at Troppau and the right at- Cracow, and a reserve , at Olmiitz. According to a Prussian, journal the Austrian Cabinet has signed a protoeol, in, which it declares that it will neither seek nor•accept any aggrandise ment of territory from the Eastern question, that it will do all in its power•to quell the Greek insur rection, and that it regards the Ottoman territory as inviolable. This agrees with, the statement that a positive assurance to. the same effect was, some days ago, given by the• Austrian Cabinet to France and England. RUSSIA. An extraordinary supplement of the Journal de St. Petersbourg,of the 3d, contains an exposition of the progress of the Oriental dispute, and the conduct of the Western Powers. This document extends to the length of three folio pages, and is a clever piece of special pleading. It contains also the Russian answers to the circulars of the French cabinet. The. Preussiche Correspondenz contains an exposition of the Prussian policy. It is defined to be for the present neutrality, and for the future mediation. A Berlin despatch, of March 7, says Russia will place all her forces in the harbours of the Baltic, under the chief command of General Von Berg% Prince Paskievitsch will assume the corn-, mand of the Danubian army, and General Rudiger will be at the head of the administration in Poland. In Riga large stores of corn are said to be collected, but they cannot be shipped on account of the cri tical state of affairs. Travellers from the Danubian principalities have brought with them some pro clamations of the Russians, in the Servian and Bulgarian languages, which are still being printed in Bucharest, and doubtless are intended for dis tribution, so soon as the Russians shall have crossed the Danube. As the languages are not understood here, their contents remain a secret for the present." The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post gives a statement, to the effect that the ice in the Baltic had broken up as far as Revel, and that the Russian fleet in that harbour are making great exertions to join the division at Cronstadt. A very striking feature in the present state of Russian affairs has begun to manifest itself, namely, the anxiety of shipowners to sell their ships. Thus it seems that, while the warlike ardour animates England and France, the fear of war is felt among the mercantile classes of Russia. A complete panic, indeed, might fairly be inferred from the advertisements, filling all the commercial journals, for the sale of Russian vessels. The firm of Solo mon Heine, of Hamburg, has purchased several. A despatch from Trieste, of Tuesday last, says that three Russian ships of war, anchored at' that har bour, have been sold, the crews returning to Russia overland. The Emperor Nicholas and his family have left St. Petersburg, to take up their temporary resi dence in the city of Warsaw, where, it is said, the Czar hopes he will be able to exercise his influence more effectually upon Prussia and Austria. An imperial letter, report states, has been ad dressed to the Princess Mathilde, daughter of Prince Jerome Bonaparte, and wife of the Russian Prince Demidoff, from whom she is separated. The *enour of this letter is said to be a recommen dation that the Princess should ma k e use of her influence over the opinions of the French Emperor bring almt Al 4 Pgrctllelita TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople has been received at Vienna, declaring that hostilities had been every where suspended in consequence of the severe frost ; that sixty pieces of cannon had been disem barked at Trebizond and Baroum ; and that Persia, determined to remain neutral, had been fortifying its Turkish frontiers. This letter also states that, should the Affghans attempt to attack Kandahar, Persia will offer her mediation. Khan Khiva, who had fled into Bokhara, had called upon the neigh bouring Khans to assist in the war against Russia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 25.—The convoying steam squadron, which left the Bosphorus on the 7th, and returned on the 20th, pushed on as fast as possible to Trebizond, at which place it arrived on the 10th, in order to release the poor soldiers from the crowded decks without delay. 5,000 men, and a considerable quantity of stores, &c., were safely disembarked there. Prince Gortschakoff returned to Bucharest on the 4th, and has pub lished a kind of apologetic explanatory bulletin. In it he describes the retirement of the Turks from the villages near Kalafat, and their occupation by has own troops, as a completed movement. If such a document may be trusted, it would appear that he has had enough of Kalafat for the present, and has no immediate intention of attacking it. Yesterday the legal confirmation of the betrothal of the Sultan's eldest daughter, (Sultana Fathma,) aged 14, to , Redschid Pasha's son, (Ali Galib,) aged 21, was celebrated at the Sultan's palace with much pomp.. A long train of men, bearing on their heads trays of fruits, flowers, brocades, jewels, &c!, as wedding presents, marched in procession from Redschid Pasha's house to the palace of . the Sultan. The sight was rather barbarous and queer than pretty or imposing ;. but the sight of pretty Tur kish damsels, in gaudy Orientalized broughams, in some sort repaid. one for a flounder through the filthy streets. By a happy arrangement, the pret tier the face, the more transparent is the veil ;. the plainer it is, the more opaque is the covering. This is an innovation and au improvement on Turkish customs, and some are of opinion that it might be Imitated with advantage. in other countries. Ott the same day were cerebrated the first betrothals of his Majesty's three remaining daughters with; the sons of high dignitaries,• as , follow :—The Sul tana Refilha to Ethem Pasha, son of the ex-Seras kier Mehemet Ali Pasha the SUltana Gemile to Mahmend. Gelad-ed-din Pasha; son of the Grand Master of the Artillery, Ahmet Fethi Pasha ; and the Sidtana Munire to Ilhami Pasha, son of Abbas Pasha,. Governor-general of Egypt. It must be remembered that these princesses are quite chil dren. There is evidently an; attempt to satisfy both the great rival politicians- in this scheme. It is said that the presents for these different mar riages amount to 40,000,000 of piastres, and that Redschid Pasha alone has spent 6,000,000 in jewellery, &a; The General-in-Chief of the Russian army in Wallachia and Moldavia has issued'a - decree, com pelling merchants and others to take Russian pa per money, upon pain of being considered rebels, and who will be-treated with accordingly. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. By the British and North American:Royal Mail Steam-ship Cana4 Captain Stone, which arrived on Sunday afternoon, we have intelligence from New York to the 28th ult., and from Boston to the Ist instant. The Canada brought thirty-nine passengers and $159,145 in specie on freight. The screw steam-ship Andes arrived at Boston on the Ist instant, from this port. The Empire City Had sailed from Aspinwall for New York with $600;000 in gold dust. A letter from Washington says that the Peru vian Government have declined conforming to their agreement to settle with Captain 3lECerren for the injuries sustained by him at theChincha Islands. The New York Herald scouts the , idea of Russian agents being engaged in inducing:persons in the States to send out - privateers, in.the event of a war with Russia. A dispatch from Wiskington states. that the British - and French Ministers had mad upon Secretary Marcy for the purpose of protesting against the fitting out, of 'Russian priiirateers in the United States. It- was also understood that they informed the secretary that sr_eh vessels would be treated as pirates by their respective governments. The reply. of Secretary Maxey had not been made public.. General Cass had', moved a resole ion in the Senate, " That while the. United States. of America are disposed to observe in a spirit- of good faith international obligations, they desire a similar observance of such obligations by ante* nations of the earth, and that they can never behold with indifference the obliteration of independent states by a third power, because of the pohlical freedom of such states." On the 27th of February, the immediate passage of the bill, authoriSing the building of six first class steam frigates was urged as highly necessary, and ultimately it was adopted ; but in the House an unsuccessful effort was, made to promote the measure, and it therefore goes to the bottom of the long calendar of bills to be acted on in com mittee, and may not be reached for months. The ship Cornelius Grinnell, which had arrived at New York from this port,. reported, " That on the 26th January, at noon, in tat. 48, lon. 32, saw a vessel with the Ameriean flag, union down; ; went to her- assistance,. and; found her to be the ship Columbiana of New York, Captain Stahl, from New Orleans, bound to Liverpool.. On rounding to under her lee,. saw that her decks had: been swept,.that all her masts were gone, the bul warks much broken, and the men lashed to the pumps. The sea at the , time was running very high, so much so that it was impossible to lower the boat with any degree of safety ; consequently hove the ship to under bare poles until four p.m. next day,. when the weather moderating, we suc ceeded in getting a boat near the ship, and hauled the captain, officers, and crew, sixteen in number, into the boat through the sea,, by lines made fast around them, and from the boats to the in the same- manner, which was accomplished in two trips. The crew were in a very exhausted state from fatigue and expo sure . O n t h e f o ll ow i ng Tuesday,_ 31st , . sunset, saw another dismasted vessel with the British flag, union down. Went to her- assistance, and succeeded in taking off the captain. and crew, nine in number ) . of the brig Frederick, Captain Parker, of Parsboro', N. S., from, Halifax, bound to Liverpool.. It was dark at the time, and being comparatively moderate, very little trouble or danger attended the circumstance. On Thursday, the deputy-inspector Wooldridge, of the customs, arrested the steward of the British steam-ship 4frica, on a charge. of being concerned in the smuggling of a large quantity of lace goods for an importing house in, this city. The mer chant's store had been searehed, and the whole of the goods are now under the supervision of Capt. Rynders, deputy-surveyor,, who had been assigned by the collector for that special purpose. It is said that a large amount of property has already been seized.—New York 11,iiralel. A letter from Easton, Pennsylvania, mentions that a pilot-engine bad been precipitated from the rails of the Belvidere line down an embankment into a river, severe' s ) , injuring three persons. At the French Opera-house, New Orleans, three per sons had been killed and upwards of fifty wounded by the falling of the gallery. General Robert Armstrong, formerly United Stat es C onsu l at Liverpool, ka4 died at Washington, Two steamers, one running on the Alabama river, and the other on the Bybee river, had been destroyed by fire. In the Illinois Legislature a resolution had been offered against the aggressive policy of the Emperor of Russia; the resolution concludes, " Resolved that the governor be required to for ward to the aforesaid Czar a copy of the above resolution." CALIFORNIA. The Northern Light had arrived at New York with $BOO,OOO in gold-dust on freight, and later advices from San Francisco, California. The stringency in monetary affairs consequent on the long drought, the small produce of the mines, and the overburdened condition of the San Francisco market had occasioned several heavy failures. The sum of the liabilities was about $600,000, and the assets $300,000. The late rains were causing more confidence, though there was little prospect for improvement in the price of goods. The same influences had caused a slight fall in the prices of real estate. The agent for the invaders of Lower California had been busy in seeking for recruits in San Joaquin and Toulumne counties. Rain, which began on the 11th, continued till the 17th, when began some weather colder than the oldest resi dents remember to have experienced. The rivers, canals, and glutches had plenty of water for the present, and the prospect was that the produce of the mines for the next month would be very large. Some of the rivers had become very high, and many valuable dams, flumes, and mills had been %%and away, the amo eluatud patim the mountains snow had fallen plentifully, and, looking off to the east from San Francisco, the white gowns of Monte Diablo and of the Santa Clara Mountains could be seen. A destructive fire had, occurred at Placeville. The silver mine an nounced to have been discovered ninety miles east of Monterey, in the mountains, is said to be very promising. Some of the ore which had been tried produced $4O from 100 pounds of ore. Hostilities had occurred on the Klamath River between the Indians and whites. Advices from Lower Cali fornia report that Walker, " president" of the American invaders, continued to issue proclama tions. From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the small-pox had ceased its ravages. Owing to false rumours, a run had taken place in the banking-house of Adams and Co., but, as all claims were promptly met, the excitement soon ceased. Letters from Havana, of the 25th, report a rumour to the effect that a negro insurrection had occurred east of Cardenas. A change of troops 'had been unexpectedly made at Puerto Principe. In Havana all was quiet. Sugar was dull, through the want of shipping. Freights to England were quoted at five guineas. Flour was scarce. Rice and lard were improving. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Nnw YORK, FRI. 28. COTTON. (Prom W., P. Wright's Circular.) — The more extensive operations in cotton last week in this market prove that the accounts from Europe by the Pacific and Europa are looked upon here as decidedly favourable. We have had a good demand for cotton from exporters and , home consumers. Prices have had an upward tendency all week, and the quotations show an advance of about sc, per lb. since Tuesday last Middling Uplands cannot now be bought under 10c. per lb.; nor middling New Orleans under lolc. per lb. Our stock of unsold cotton is again very much reduced ; there is little offered in transit& from the South to Europe,. for which a good demand now prevails, at very full prices-- The sales since the 20th instant to last evening have been :—For export, 8,464 bales; home use, 4,334; speculation s 1,894; and in transitu, 1,383;: total, 15,885 bales. The export has been as follows :—Liverpool, 3,982 bales ; Havre,.7o; Antwerp, 338; Hamburg, 119; Rotterdam, 402 ; Bremen r 27: total, 4,939 bales. The deficit in receipts at the ports is again augmented, and now amounts to 622,000 bales) the largest figure attained this-season, and caused by light receipts in Charleston and Savannah during the past week. This continued deficiency in receipts, as compared with last year, is causing a general lack of confidence in estimates for the total yield of over 2,800,000 bales. The following is a statement of the movement ineotton since the Ist September last, as compared with the-pre view three years: 1854. 1853. 1852. 1 - 851.
