However here is a fact, but, as Sir Charles Coldstream .says, " there's nothing in it ;"—Baron BEITAOW, by com =mand, has drawn from the Bank of England £BOO,OOO sterling; leaving, in fine, only a fund suffieient to pay the 4:interest on the Russian bonds. Some people do not hesi 'tate to say that this is an "ultimatum"—that NICROLAS -- wants to make clean decks with England before he fights. it may look like it, but the truth is farther down in the Money—coined money—and much of it, is wanted by Russia to carry on the war—not only on the shores of the Danube, but in Asia ; hence the draw in Question. Russian houses in the city have, also, been drawing heavily :An the bullion in the Bank cellars, to send gold to Odessa and St. Petersburgh, in payment of corn and tallow ; and here, again, is a clearing of accounts previous to fighti , ng inf course ! Th ese have bee all amply discussed,— believed or rejected points ,—more or less— n according to the tem peraments of the parties. The mare's nest of the week, however, has been the -alleged refusal of Lord PALMERSTON to endorse the :TEEN'S letter for Church aid, &e. Surely matters have mot come to such a pass as to induce the HOME SECEE `2ARY to fly in the face of the whole clergy, with the wo Archbishops at their head : the alleged refusal of lord PelatEiteros was, however, believed, though the silence of The Times cooled the ardour of many. The - affair, it is now said, was baseless. One thing is pretty certain, a great change, if not a Vonnilete break-up of the Coalition Cabinet, may be relied im before a long time shall have elapsed. ABERDEEN not remain in it, should Russian hostilities draw England into the field : should this not be the case, he will only wait—as Ire is waiting—for a becoming oppor tunity of retiring. So also with LANDSDOWNE, in regard to the latter plea. The noble marquis, in the fine, high, and dry days at the close of last autumn, could not walk, even tottering, without assistance. These matters are 4o be r egretted,—personally as respects the Conservative ABERDEEN and the Whig LANSDOWNE, each of whom in tremulous accents may ejaculate—" Pity the sorrows of a poor old man !" They have been consistent men in their way, however unnatural their present conjunction. MENET Perry—Lord LANSDOWNE—is now between -seventy and eighty years old ; half a century and more of which years has been passed in the fiery furnace of poli tics —no ordinary wear and tear has he stood ; and though GEORGE HAMILTON GoenoN—Earl of ABERDEEN—is a few years younger, he is beyond the " threescore and ten," and has had enough of political strife in his time. Fake away these two old soldiers from the Cabinet, you'll :Find the young ones fall out. The Corporation of the City of London have resolved, and resolved wisely, it is considered, to be silent in regard :to the proceedings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry, Aintil the proper time. Meantime a strong case is being made out. The witnesses now examined are speaking to -Facts which "nobody can deny." The conservation (en croachment ?) of the Thames looks ugly : a reform will be effected, but not so sweeping as the disaffected desire. The vacancy caused in the Irish representation by the sleath of the late Lord CLONCURRY'S son, CECIL Lkw- LESS, who sat in the House of Commons as member for the renowned borough of Clonmel, has set the COPPOCKS MA other electioneering gentlemen of that class in active motion. Mr. LAWLESS gave during last session of parlia agent consistent and independent support to the ABER MEEN administration on more than one occasion, both in the senate and in the committee-room. Mr. HATTER, the government " w hi p, " f ound that the scion of the House of CLONCURRY rendered valuable practical service to his masters, and judging by the exertions which are mow being made, the subordinates of the mongrel coali tion feel nervously anxious that Mr. LAWLESS' successor should be equally up to the government standard of ex cellence, and prepared to battle for their permanence of position. There is some talk in Conservative circles that the representation which Father BURKE, in his capacity of Returning Officer General, has allotted to Mr. JOHN lO'CoNNEee, will be contested by a resident and much esteemed landed proprietor in the county of Tiperary, eon sound Protestant and constitutional principles, but I confess I do not attach touch importance to this rumour, which as yet, at all events, has assumed nothing more than the appearance of the most ordinary piece of political gossip. The government do not apprehend any opposition en this occasion from their natural and l eg iti ma t e tagonists, but they believe it quite possible that at the eleventh hour some protégé of the disappointed tenant - league faction may be pressed forward, and that under the auspices of the newspaper triumvirate who hold sway in Dublin the contest may be commenced. It is to meet :inch an emergency that their exertions are directed, and that arrangements have been made to supply the present popular" candidate with the sinews of war. The return of another O'CorixELL to Parliament, from what I know, is, I believe, nearly certain. Clonmel will follow the example of Kerry; and this brings me to state a fact which has not been heretofore announced, that the 7oungest son of the late " Liberator," notwithstanding the nationalities of his name and antecedents, is about allying liimself in marriage to an English lady, with large English Pecuniary appendages, and that his retirement, consequent on the nuptial tie, from the English Parliament, is by no means an improbable event. Young DAN, so they call Lim here at the " Fielding" and other social clubs, has teen a resident in London since O'CoNNEee's death left the family residence in Merrion-square a " bleak house." Although enjoying the reputation of a Derrynane legacy to the extent of £5,000, he quieted himself down to liter ary work, and, with much commendable earnestness, - became a successful contributor to some of the more popular London periodicals. A perusal of his "Reminis cences of Irish Society in 1846" induced the spirit of Enquiry in the bosom of a fair lady as to its author, and the result has been that which I have modestly indicated, the approaching alliance between two members of distin guished Irish and English families. Some weeks since, in this department of your paper you were the first to announce the mournful state of ill may, in which th a t accomplished and well-conducted. lady, Mrs. WARNER, was placed. Since that announce ment—made, it may be, aga i nst her own wishes, for she appeared willing to pine in sorrow and in secrecy— unch has been done to alleviate the distress of her hapless tondition.

THE FIRE AT ST. GEORGE'S BAZAAR.-A committee, under the presidency of Mr. J. R. Jeffery, has been or ganised for the relief of those who have suffered loss by the recent fire in St. George's Bazaar. The Mayor has contributed £lO, and Mr. Alderman B. Moore £5. Subscrip tions will be received by any of the banks, newspaper offices, newsrooms, and the following gentlemen :—Mr. J. R.

The public are requested not to give any subscriptions to any one unable to produce a collecting-book. A meeting of the committee was held in Compton House yesterday, Mr. J. R. Jeffery presiding. The treasurer, Mr. Rae, of Church-street, reported that he had, from the amount of subscriptions realized, been Able to lodge in Heywood's Bank, on behalf of the sufferers, the sum of £2BO. The meeting then adjourned till nest Monday, and, as the Ba zaar will be ready for opening on the 24th instant, it is expected the next will be the last•meeting which the com mittee will require to hold. In furtherance of the objects of the committee, it is to be hoped that the stall-holders in the other markets will contributens Ireerally as is con sistent with their means in favour of their suffering brethren. PRODUCE.—There has been a good business done during the week in almost all descriptions of produce, and a general tone of firmness seems to prevail. To -DAY, the business in Sugar is con fined to refining descriptions, of which 15 hhds. Demerara and 40 hhds. low Barbadoes have been taken at 325. 9d., 2,000 bags Khaur at 295., and 600 bags low brown Dates at 28s. 6d. per cwt. There is nothing to notice in Molasses. Of Rum, about 100 puncheons Demerara have been sold at the decline noticed on Friday. Fifty bags washed Rio Coffee are reported at 50s. per cwt. The Tea market is decidedly less active, and to effect sales lower rates would. require to be conceded ; one or two small parcels of common Cono•ou are offered at a discount, with short prompts. ° A small parcel of Bengal Rice has been taken at 155., and 300 bags Saltpetre at 295. 9d. to 30s. per cwt. for 41 and 3 per cent. refraction. We have also to notice 50 cases Castor Oil at 41d. to 4d. per lb., 800 pockets dead Cowries at 425. per cwt., a small lot of Jamaica Logwood at £6 55., and 15 tons Jamaica Fustic at £6 17s. 6d. per ton. WooL.—The market still continues to rally from the depression under which it has suffered for se verel months past, and this week a fair amount of business has again been done at full prices. East India middle and low whites are much sought after, and an advance of id. to Id. per lb. is readily obtained on our last sale prices. Alpaca, of which stocks are now pretty large in this market, remain neglected ; but, as the manufacturers are not very heavily stocked with this article, we expect to see an improved demand shortly. Long wools gene rally are in better request, and.command full rates. Imports for the week, 7,231 bales, viz.: 755 bales East India ; 414 Buenos Ayres ; 5,658 Peruvian and Alpaca ; 389 from the Mediterranean ports ; 5 Scotch, and 10 Irish. Messrs. W. GREAME and Co. say : " During the early part of the past month, the Wool trade continued in the same depressed state as noticed in our circular of Ist ult., and the few sales were to a small extent, and at a considerable sacrifice to holders. The London auction sales terminated on 17th ult., with more firmness, at a slight advance for Australian and Cape Wools on prices current at the date of our last; since then the market has gradually recovered, and we have now, we are glad to say, a decided improvement to notice in many descriptions of Wool, buyers show more disposition to CIE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL 'COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. make purchases than they have done for some time past, considerable orders for goods have lately been given out, stocks in manufacturers hands are light and the trade generally in a healthy state, and unless some further un toward event occurs, political or monetary, to check busi ness again, we may look forward to a further improvement both in price and demand?' Messrs. JOSEPH ROBINSON and Co. say,— " The Wool market during last month has partaken of the same quiet feeling as the previous one ; which is attri buted to the continued hostile movements in the East, the dearness of provisions, and the excessive export of specie ; otherwise the trade of the country is in a flourishing state, without any serious drawback for manufactured goods. In some parts of Yorkshire, particularly where the worsted trade is paramount, it is estimated that one half the ma chinery has ceased working ; but as regards the general consumption, there is scarcely any abatement, which is very satisfactory, considering the combined influences that have been operating for some time to the detriment of commerce." _ _ TIMBER.—We quote the following from the monthly circular of Messrs. HOLME, SLATER, and Co. of this town, and of Birkenead : " The arrivals into the docks of the Mersey, containing Timber, during the month, are-88 vessels, 57,752 tons, against 44 vessels, 42,261 tons for the corresponding period last year. Although the supply of Quebec Pine has been large, yet the demand is quite equal, and stocks have not accumulated, and are considerably below those of former years.—Of Baltic Timber the arrivals during the month are 7 vessels, 2,310 tons, against 3 vessels, 1,405 tons f or the corresponding period last year. A cargo of common Dantzig has been sold at 2s. 3d. per foot, and a parcel of Swedish at 2s. Id. per foot. The stock of Baltic Timber is light.-:--Of Mahogany during the month there have been two public sales, one in Birkenhead and the other in Liverpool : they were well attended and the prices realized were satisfactory." luoN.—Last week we shewed that the price of Pig Iron was much too high, from two different con siderations : first, that there was 25s per ton against shipments to the United States ; and, secondly, 30s per ton a„,ominst French ship m e n t s , after allowing for the reduction of duty under the Emperor's late decree and, lastly, as a natural consequence, the exports from the Clyde had fallen off something like 8,000 tons per week. We have again to notice the like reduction, the exports for the past week having been only 9,100 tons, against the usual average of 16,000, chewing a falling off of about 6,900 tons, which would have been even more, but for the shipments to France, amounting to something near 2,000 tons, which, it must be borne in mind, was bought before the present high price, but was kept back until the issue of the im perial decree : so that when the French purchases are cleared from the port, we shall probably have a falling off in the exports of from 8,000 to 10,000 tons per week, as the present price puts a veto upon all exports. As the late advance has taken place in consequence of large speculation, in anticipation of heavy exports to France, we will take a view of the French Pig Iron trade, which may probably be of some little interest to speculators, especially as many of them may think that the Frenchman never saw a ton of Pig Iron, excepting from England. We copy from the Siecle as follows :—" In 1845, it required 2,047 hydraulic machines, and 207 steam engines, representing a total of 26,504 horse power. Five years before there were only 109 machines. In 1845, there were 425 iron mines open in France, which produced annually 2,640,000 tons of rough ore, and 1,250,000 tons of unwashed and sifted ore. This mass of raw material delivered to the foun dries, which then possessed 608 blast-furnaces, gives a production of 439,000 tons of pig iron, by means of which 342,000 tons of large iron was manufactured. This annual production has much increased since the previous 20 years ; in 1825, the quantity of pig iron produced was only 190,000 tons ; and in 1835 it had risen to 295,000 tons." Thus we see that the French make pigs of their own, and that from 1825 to 1845 the production had increased from 190,000 tons to 439,000 tons ; and there is little doubt but that the present pro duction is very much in excess of this quantity, and that the reduction in the duty on coals will very materially assist the increase. The following imports of France for 1851 are from the same paper (Sleek), viz.: " 17,939,767 kilog,rammes of rough ore, 38,785,081 kils. of pig iron, 4,569,615 kils. of wrought iron in bars, 1,843,704 kils. of wrought iron of other kinds, and 870,274 kils. of rails." These figures look exceedingly large when ex pressed in kilogrammes, but we will reduce them to English tons, and show also the countries whence they were imported : Rough Ore. l wrouglit; iron ink bars. ) wrought iron of other kinds. (Supplied by England. Belgium. Germany. :Sweden. !Russia. /Spain. . _ ;Switzerland. (Tuscany. SardinianSts Other Counts 16309 135260 14154 ' . 134 9 791 'TotalTot's. From this it appears that the total imports of Pigs in 1851 were only 35,260 tons, of which England supplied not 12,000 tons, Belgium up wards of 16,000, Germany 1,300, and the Sardinian States nearly 1,000. Last year (1852) their im ports of Pig Iron amounted to 46,244 ton s . Sup plied, 26,416 from Belgium, 15,002f r0m England, and 4,826 from other countries. Here we learn that Belgium and Germany, with sundry other places, were not only able to compete with us, but supplied collectively in 1851, 23,433 tons against our 11,827 ; and in 1852, 31,242 tons against our 15,002 tons, throwing us entirely into the shade : but it may be said that Bel g i um en j oye d th e reduction of duty which has only just come into operation as regards British Pig Iron ; that is true, yet, we must remember that when she com peted with us it was during a time when Pig Iron was selling in Glasgow at 355. per ton : now it is 80s. per ton, so that i the account sta n d s thus— a reduction of duty n favour of England of 17s. 641. per ton, and an increase in price on English Pigs of 455. per ton (from 355. to 80s.) making a balance of 275. 6d. per ton in favour of Belgium' exports. As an argument in favour of the present price, it has been said, that Belgium was about to take the initiation from France and reduce the duty upon foreign Iron, and that this would give Pig Iron a further lift; but these men surely cannot know that Belgium is our exporting country as regards Pig Iron. Cotton producing countries might with equal propriety say that the United States is about to reduc e the duty on cotton imported into their States, and draw there from an inference of an increased value of every description of cotton not the growth of the United States. No, what we may expect Belgium to do, will be to declare a reduction on the duty on coals —now about 12s. 6d. per ton —and so put their iron masters in a still better position than they now enjoy, to keep their command of the French and other Continental markets. To-DAY there has been nothing doing, and sales have, for some time been " like angels' visits, few and far be tween"; the nominal price being 795. to 795. 6d., cash. In Manufactured Iron a good business is doing ; makers being full of orders, and refusing to take further contract excepting at the, advance of 20s. per ton, of which they have given notice. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT YESTERDAY afternoon, an accident, unfortunately at tended with fatal consequences, occurred in South John street. About three o'clock, the eastern boundary wall of the yard occupied by Mr. F. Hemming, as an emigrant's tent depot,tsuddenly gave way, and falling outward, buried in its ruins three individuals who were passing at the time. The sufferers were Mr. Richard Hind of Birkenhead, brother to Mr. John H. Hind, of Messrs. Hind and Co., hemp and canvass merchants, King-street, and a boy, aged twelve years, named Thomas Evers, living in Helen's square, together with his sister, who was younger than himself. The wall in question stretched from the end of Shaw's buildings towards Messrs. Leyland and Bullins' Bank, and would be about forty yards in length, by somewhere about twelve feet in height. The immediate cause of its overthrow was the pressure occasioned by a large number of sheets of corrugated iron, used in the construction of emigrants' houses, being set up with their ends resting against the wall, which forced it out into the street. Im mediatelymade for the removal of the superin cum b ent i ron, an d t h e bricks.; s ;th o e n po t li h c e e accidentofficers taking knitulmgeprolace every effort was us p, as sers-by lending w illing and efficient aid. By dint of grea t exert i ons, Mr. H ind and the little girl were got out alive, but th e b o y was qu ite dead before his body could be extricated from the ruins. The sufferers were immediately conveyed t o th e Northern Hospital, with little hope of their recove r y ; an d we regre t to add that Mr. Hind died within a short time after his r . being removed from the scene of the catastrophe. A coro ner's inquest will be held this day to inquire into the circumstances of the accident. PROTESTANT REPORMATION SOCIETY.

AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. BY the British and North American Royal Mail steam ship America, Capt. Lang, which arrived in the Mersey yesterday afternoon, we have intelligence from Boston to the 23rd, and from New York to the 22nd ult. The America sailed from Boston on the 23rd ult., at 0 35, p.m. On the 24th, at 7-45 p.m., passed the steam ship Canada, hence for Boston, and arrived at Halifax at 0 35, a.m., on the 25th ; and, after a short detention, re sailed with the usual mails from the United States and British North American provinces. On the 28th, passed the barque Niagara, and on Saturday passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, hence for New York. The America brought $433,130 in specie, and the fol lowing sixty-six PASSENGERS : Mr. Griffiths, Mr. D. Symons, Madame Bourdon, Miss Cottman, Dr. Cottman, Trist, Mr. John Carter, Mr. A. Adams, Mr. W.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Bath, November 21st, says, the ship Maine, Freeman, from Liverpool, October 21st, for Bath, went ashore on Saturday morning on Pond Island Bar, during a heavy gale and fog. She now lies on her broadside, and nothing can be done to save any portion of her cargo, as a heavy sea is running. If the ship holds together, and the wind changes to north-west, a part of the cargo may be saved. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says :—" We are informed that the Secretary of the Navy, in his forthcoming report, will recommend important reforms in the manner of constructing ships of war, particularly steamers. An increase of the navy will be asked for, and also a board of commissions to examine machinery, &c. Our despatches mention the arrival and arrangements of Congressmen. A merry time is antici pated in the fashionable world at the capital during the coming winter. • The Speakership is now the absorbing topic. Joshua Bates, Esq., of the house of Baring Brothers, is said to be the person selected as umpire by the commissioners, to settle claims between Great Britain and the United States. Much concern is felt with regard to the prospects of our ocean steam lines, as the Secretary of the Navy is resolved on asking for a heavy appropria tion for naval steam-ships, which will probably be met by a corresponding reduction in the mail service. The black legs, both in politics and euchre, are busily preparing for the approaching season, and confidently expect an abun dant harvest, and, judging from the past, they will not be disappointed." A force of between five and six hundred of the United States troops, at present stationed at Governor's Island, were to leave New York in , a few days for California, where their presence is considered necessary by the general government, to suppress the Indian disturbances in the interior of that state. Their baggage and camp equipage is already prepared for shipment, and each company will take with them two thousand rounds of ball cartridge. The whole force has been placed under the command of Brevet Lieut.-Col. J. M. Washington and Major C. S. Merchant, who are at present in New York, awaiting the hour of departure. William H. Grogan, late chief operator, in New Orleans, on the Washington and New Orleans Telegraph, and for merly of Liverpool, died on the 19th ult., after an illness of several months' duration. Congress having appropriated $20,000 for the construc tion of a coal depot for United States steamers at Key West, Capt. Blake, of the navy, has arrived there to select a site for the purpose, reference being had in its location to its fitness for a navy yard. Key West is an important naval and commercial station. Later news from Texas represent the Indians as having become very bold, and Governor Bell was about raising troops for the protection of the frontier. Eight companies of U.S. infantry had set out from San Antonio for Eagle Pass. Thirteen years since, in the vicinity of Pittsburg, a man, who was involved in some difficulty, suddenly disappeared, and the citizens, supposing he had drowned himself, dragged the river to find his body. A few days since, in taking off the decayed roof of a country church, a skeleton was found in the loft, lying under a handkerchief attached to the rafter. Examination of the handkerchief resulted in finding his name, and thus solving a thirteen year mystery—he had committed suicide. An actress, named Miss Helena Gage, was shot in New Orleans on the 15th ult., by a French schoolmaster, named Bedford, for refusing to elope with him, and afterwards killed himself at the last accounts. The amount of drafts registered at the Treasury De partment at Westby, for the week ending 19th ultimo, reached 51,353,651. The President has been suffering with a bilious remit tent fever, and, by the advice of his physicians, has kept to his room. He was expected to be out in a short time. A despatch from New Orleans, dated 22nd inst., stated that the Empire City, from Havana, was coming in. New Brunswick papers of the 17th ult. have been receiv ed. The recent rains had raised the rivers and streams in St. John to an unusual height, and much damage had been done, several bridges having been carried away. So de structive a freshet had not been known there for a long period. • The officers of the provincial revenue had seized in the harbour of St. John, seventeen barrels of Yankee brandy on board a schooner from Eastport, and seven barrels of the same brand on board a large open boat. Capt. Wm. Homan, of the clipper Winged Racer, formerly of the New York ship Atlas, had died at Marble head, Mass. Complaints have reached Washington against the Ame rican Consul at Paraguay, for improperly using the American flag for the protection of one of the vessels stolen by Admiral Coe, and sold to the enemies of the cause he was serving when he turned traitor. The Consul is said to have employed her in the service of the New York and Paraguay Company, whose agent he is, imme diately after Coe surrendered her, and had the American flag hoisted upon her for her protection. By this arrival we have later accounts from Mexico. The Diario officially refers to the troubles at Acapulco with the schooner L. B. Allen, and says that the schooher was seized for an infraction of the laws, but Mr. Gadsden, the United States Minister, having solicited the President to interpose his authority, and permit the vessel to con tinue her voyage to Acapulco, his Excellency was pleased to consent thereto, as a proof of his desire to maintain and render yet closer the good relations which exist between the two countries. The Diario also contradicts the report that the United States ship St. Lawrence had arrived at Acapulco, and threatened a bombardment of the town. A decree has been issued, providing that ships entering Mexican ports only to repair damages sustained, or for provisions or water, shall not be considered liable to the payment of any tonnage ; and vessels loaded only with coal for the steam-ship depOt, at Acapulco, shall only pay four reals per ton on their burthen. GREAT FIRES IN NEW YORK. Two terrible conflagrations, attended by immense losses of property, occurred in the city of New York, at an early hour on the 17th ult. No fire that has occurred in the city, since the great disastlfr of 1845, has resulted in so great a destruction of property, or has thrown so many of the labouring population of the city out of home and em ployment. The occurrence of two conflagrations at the same time, in the dead of night, and at points far removed from each other, suggests the probability of incendiarism ; a supposition which gains strength by the narration of concurring circumstances. The first fire which was discovered broke out at half past two o'clock, in the piano-leg and action manufactory of Mr. A. E. Brooks, No. 206 East Twenty-third-street, and quickly communicated to the extensive and valuable block of buildings, known as the Empire Iron Works, owned by Messrs. Sloane and Leggett, extending through the entire block bounded by Twenty-third and Twenty fourth streets, and thence spreading to other buildings on Twenty-fourth-street. The destruction was complete, nothing being left standing except the tall chimneys of the foundry. The loss by this fire will reach the heavy amount of three hundred thousand dollars; upon which there is an insurance of about one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. Upwards of one thousand mechanics are thrown out of employment by this calamity. The alarm had scarcely been struck for this fire, on the east river side of the city, when another was sounded for the fifth district, situated in the extreme westerly portion of the island. The alarm was found to proceed from the block of buildings bounded by Washington, Troy, and Jane streets. The flames here, too, spread with alarming rapidity, and soon defied the utmost exertions of the fire men, whose efforts were greatly retarded by a strong wind from the north-east, and a cold, drizzling rain, which continued during the night. The wind increased to a gale towards morning, and assisted the spread of the flames at both fires. The reflection upon the sky from the two fires thus proceeding simultaneously at two opposite points, and nearly in a direct line, produced a vivid illumination in all the upper portion of the city. There was apparently a belt of flame reaching quite across the island, which, reflected against the background of rain -clouds, caused great apprehension that the fire was even more extensive and disastrous than it proved to be. The light was so intensely bright, that small print might easily have been read at the distance of two miles from the scene of the fire. The loss by the fire in the Ninth Ward was nearly equal in amount to that of the Empire Works and its adjacent buildings. Neither could have been much less than $300,000. The aggregate loss by the two fires may be stated in round numbers at six, or possibly seven hundred thou sand. The insurances effected upon the property de stroyed, as nearly as can be ascertained, reach the amount of about three hundred thousand dollars. The number of mechanics deprived of emplOyment by the Ninth Ward disaster will probably be from eight hundred to one thousand; thus making an aggregate of about two thousand mechanics thrown out of employ. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. MONEY AND STOCKS.—The transactions at the Stock Board were large in the leading fancies. The market at the second board was buoyant, and closed with firmness. A sale of government 6s, 1867, was made at 1231, and of 1862 at 118 k. The market is firmer for sterling. Some drawers are asking 1091. Francs, 5.15 to 5.131. The day's business at the sub-treasury was as follows :—Re ceived, $119,133 ; paid, $122,612 ; balance, $5,690,731. The Herald stated that defalcations to a very large amount had occurred in several of the Wall-street banks. The statement, however, is a fabrication without a particle of truth for its basis. Exchange on London is firm, with an advancing tendency. Bankers have sold'at 91 to 91 91 per cent. On Paris, the rate continues at 5.12}. COTTON.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular of Nov. 22).—My last circular was dated 16th instant, since which we are in receipt of Liverpool advices to 6th November, per Arabia. During the past week, we have had a steady demand, and the sales have been large in view of our very limited *tack of 'amoid and desirable qualities. Home consumers have operated to a liberal extent, and pay full prices for such grades as they require. Holders have met the demand freely, and nearly all the recent import has been either sold to arrive, or immediately on being landed. The supply of cotton ranging from middling to fair is extremely scarce, and is likely to continue so for some weeks. We have only a very small supply of Mobile, and scarcely aqg New Orleans cotton on the market, for which an inquiry daily exists, and which would bring a fraction over the quotations, if of good staple, and free from leaf. The total sales since 15th instant to last evening have been 8,236 bales, namely : 1,675 for export ; 4,346 for home use ; 1,575 on speculation ; and 640 in transitu. Prices show a slight improvement and an upward tendency. The export during the week has been—to Liverpool, 4,495 bales ; Havre, 37 ; Rotterdam, 64. Total, 4,596 bales. Receipts at the ports do not keep pace with those of last year, and are now behind those of any year since 1847. Nor is it at all likely the deficiency, as compared with last year, already amounting to 283,000 bales, can be made up (if at all) for many months. During the past week 70,000 bales have been received against 100,000 bales in the corresponding week last year, which was the first of eighteen consecutive weeks when the receipts were over 100,000 bales per week, the average being 117,600 bales per week. The export to Great Britain is already 120,000 bales behind the corresponding period last year, and it is now almost certain that not more than 100,000 bales of our export, commencing Ist September, can reach Great Britain prior to Ist January next, against about 250,000 bales last year. In view, therefore, of the dull state of the market in Liverpool, consequent on political affairs, high prices for food, dear money, and strikes in the manu facturing districts, it is a fortunate circumstance for the holders of cotton in Liverpool, and the owners of what is on the way, that this deficiency in receipts and exports exists. CROP.—We have no account of frost having visited the great cotton growing region of the South-west, or any of those localities which, in my last circular. I noticed . as having been so far exempt from its effects. From New Orleans we learn that the weather continued fine for picking. In the region tributary to Apalachicola the crops will be large. From the Atlantic States complaints are general of the damage by the frosts of 24th of October, and varions estimates are indulged in as to the probable quantity short in that section. The probable amount of the next crop is variously estimated at from 2,700,000 to 3,000,000 bales, the preponderance being in favour of the latter, while some few adhere to a higher estimate. The following is a statement of the movement in cotton since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre vious three years : 1853 1852 1851 1850. Receipts at the ports 352,000 635,000 410,000 3841000 Exports to Great Britain 99,000 219,000 133,000 159,000 „ France lO,OOO 26,000 53.000 54,000 „ other for. p'ts 25,000 33,000 16,000 33,000 Total exports 134,000 278,000 202,000 246.000 Stock on hand Of which, during the past week, included in the above. 1853. 1852. 1851. 1850.

Total decrease in exports, 144,000 bales, BREADSTIINFEL — FIour was in brisk request ; the trans actions included 18,000 barrels :—sour at $6 14 cents to $6 371 cents ; superfine, No. 2, at $6 371 cents to $6 621 cents ; ordinary to choice State, at $6 811 cents to $7 ; mixed to fancy Western, at $6 871 cents to $7 061 cents ; common to good Ohio, at $6 931 cents to $7 121 cents; and other brands at proportionate prices. Wheat was moderately inquired for ; the sales embraced 11,000 bshls. prime Michigan white, at $1 73 cents to $1 74 cents; 4000 Ohio ditto, on private terms ; 6000 very good Southern ditto, at $1 67 cents ; 17,400 inferior to prime Canadian white, in bond, at $1 60 cents to $1 74 cents; 6000 Southern red and mixed, at $1 54 cents to $1 57i cents ; and 3000 Western red, at $1 50 cents. Corn was rather less valuable ; the operations comprised 30,000 bushels, at 78 cents to 79 cents for unsound ; 79 cents to 801 cents for mixed Western; and 81 cents to 811 cents for flat and round yellow. _ _ PROVISIONS.—Pork strongly favoured buyers. The sales embraced 400 barrels Western, at $l4 60 cents for mess, and $ll 75 cents for prime per barrel. Only 180 barrels Lard changed hands, at 10 cents to 10i cents per barrel. The movements in Beef comprised 500 barrels; at. former quotations. Other articles were as last noticed. NAVAL STORES.— Crude Turpentine was rather quiet, at $4 75 Cents per 280 lbs. There were 450 barrels Spi rits Turpentine taken at 66 cents per gallon. Rosin varied little. FREIGUTS.—Rates to Liverpool were unchanged. 15,000 to 20,000 bushels corn were engaged at 12td. to 12kd ; and 2,000 to 3,000 bbls. flour, at 3s 6d. Cotton was at 7-32 d. to -Id. asked. To London, 3,000 bbls. flour were engaged at 4e. 9d. To Havre, 5,000 to 6,000 bbls. flour were engaged at 95c. Wheat was at 25c. A vessel was engaged to load for Antwerp with flour and grain, on pri vate terms. To California, rates were steady, at 50c. to 60c. per foot, both by full and loading clippers. LEAD.—Holders claimed $6 372. to $6 60 for foreign, and $6 75 for Galena, per 100 lbs. Stock light, and in quiry limited. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 18rn.—Receipts of cotton for the week, 38,000 bales. Total at this place, 227,000 bales, against 477,000 same time as last year, being a deficit at this port alone of 250,000 ; and at all the ports, as made up by our table to-night, 295,000. Sales for the week, 36,000 bales. Middling, 9c to 91c. Stock on hand, 150,000 bales. Freight to Liverpool id. per lb. MOBILE, Nov. 19Tn.—Receipts for the week, 4,000 bales.

CHARLESTON.—Receipts for the week ending November 16th, 7,684 bales Up. and 101 S. I. Exports to Liverpool, 2,470 bales Up. " During the first three days the purchasing was pretty fair, at a full range of prices. On Tuesday, after the Bal tic's news, quite an excitement existed, and holders realized an advance on former rates : the large transactions of this day absorbed most of the stock offering, and the business on Wednesday was consequently very light, the market closing firmly, and well up to quotations, which are -lc. to c. higher than last week. Total sales 7,100 bales. Freight to Liverpool, 9-16 d." THE MANAGEMENT OF SEACOMBE FERRY. PUBLIC MEETING LAST NIGHT. LIST NIGHT, a public meeting of the contractors and others interested in the accommodation and safety of the traffic of the Seacombe Ferry was held at Seacombe Hotel, " to take into consideration the inefficient manner in which the ferry is now conducted." There was a very numerous and respectable attendance, amongst those present being Mr. Penny, the agent of Mr. Smith, the owner of the ferry, and a strong and evident interest appeared to be manifested by all the inhabitants on the subject. Mr. BUCHANAN, who was appointed chairman, ex plained that the meeting had been called through no ill will to the proprietor of the boats, but from a desire felt by all the residents of the neighbourhood that there should be punctuality and efficiency in the management of the ferry. At a preliminary meeting, on Wednesday last, a series of resolutions had been drawn up, which he supposed that some gentlemen were prepared to submit to the meeeting. They were : I. That the ferry at Seacombe, when conducted with punc tuality and efficiency, is one of the best, if not the very best, of the ferries on the Cheshire side. 2. That, in a circular addressed to the contractors, and dated so far back as the 21st February . last, the proprietor of the ferry expressed his hope that Cie inconvenience to which the public were then subject would shortly he removed, and such arrangements made us would secure its efficient working. 3. That the working of the ferry since that period has not been efficient, but such as to call forth the strong disappro bation of the meeting; and that the contractors, owners, and occupiers of property, and all others using the ferry, are seriously injured thereby. 4. That an immediate remedy for this state of affairs is now demanded, and that we hereby call upon the proprietor to carry out his intention as expressed in the said circular, and to supply boats of a sufficient and efficient character, and keep them permanently on the station. The CHAIRMAN said that there was a limit to all en durance, and they had borne; it till it had ceased to be .a virtue. , Mr. SEARIGUT proposed, and Mr. FORD seconded the first resolution, which was carried neat. con. Mr. GARDNER then moved the second resolution. He said that the ferry was very far frombeing in an efficient state, and night after night there was nothing but disappoint ments. He thought it was due to themselves that they should express their feelings on the subject. At present many gentlemen were obliged to go from Seacombe to Egremont or Woodside, and that was a state of things he felt which could not be tolerated.—(Applause.) Mr. HOLME seconded the motion. A GENTLEMAN who was present said that he had come across that evening, and they were exactly twenty-nine minutes on the passage. (Laughter.) The reason that the engineer had given was, that it was impossible to get up the steam. Had it been later in the evening, and the steam a degeee less than it was, he supposed that they should have drifted out to sea, and he did not think that there Avas the provision of rockets made to fire as a signal of distress. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. PENNY then rose, and requested leave to address the assembly. He admitted the inconveniences arising in the working of the ferry, and said that none were more painfully aware of the fact than himself. The meeting were aware of the circumstances by which the ferry had come into his hands from Messrs. Parry, and that the approaches to it had been raised by the dock works. Mr. Penny then stated the attempts that had been made to let the ferry into competent hands, but all the agree ments for which had broken through, In the month of March, the Wallasey commissioners had entered into negociations with him, which were still pending, and he had not been able to get from them an answer either of acceptance, rejection, or modification of the pro posed terms. In January Mr. Smith had a voluntary offer, differing very slightly from that made to the com missioners, and from a very competent party, but he (Mr. Penny) had not been able to accept it, in consequence of the negotiations ; and he wished to state frankly that he had himself neither time nor inclination to work the ferry, and he would indeed be glad to allow any one who would do do so E2oa week as profit. If the inhabitants wished that the negociations with the local board should be determined, he was authorised to say that Mr. Smith would ask to be released from that obligation, and would let the ferry to the best bidder. (Applause.) In answer to Mr. LEWIN, Mr. PENNY explained that, of course, he only offered the douceur of £2O a week for working the ferry pending the arrangements with the commissioners. Mr. Lzwor said they might not be concluded for twelve manths. The majority . of the board were f or reli ev ing Mr. Smith at then. last meeting ; but Mr. Penny, as his agent, had objected to it. Mr. HYDE and the CHAIRMAN both thought that better arrangements were imperatively called for, pending the negotiation. WILSON thought, that if so numerous and influen tial a meeting were to express an opinion whether the commissioners should take the ferry or not, the question would be settled in a week. Mr. SZAILIGHT paid, the real point Wag aa to their having good boats. He was a bit of a sailor, and had been all over the world more than once, but he had never been so frightened in his life as he had been in crossing in one of the Seacombe packets—(laughter)--and he should recommend those who had wives or families to send them by Egremont or Woodside, else they might be struc at night in the river for two or three hours. (Laughterk and applause.) Some of them thought they were badly off in the hands of the Parrys, but they were far worse now. He thought the Britannia should be removed at once, give them another good boat in addition to the Invincible, and then let Mr. Smith fight the parish as he liked. (Applause.) Mr. JONES said the boats were so inefficient, that they were not only a disgrace to them, but the nation at large. (Laughter.) Mr. BLACKBURN said he had often had to go by Egr e mont or Woodside. A comet passing in a wonderful curve or parabola was nothing to that which the Seacombe boats described. (Laughter and applause.) He hoped that there would be some practical result from the meeting, and that it would not pass away as what the Yankees would call a mere " Indignation meeting." Mr. THOMAS proposed that the meeting be adjourned far six weeks, that the local board might in the meantime get the opinion of the Attorney• General as to the legality of leasing. the ferry ; but the proposed delay was met with a atorin of indignation. . . After some irregular discussion, A 4tb Mr. HOLME then formally moved the 2nd, 3rd, a n- - resolutions. Mr. MOCATTA proposed, as an amendment, that the meet ing thought it the duty of the commissioners at once t o the ferry; and that a deputation of five gentlemen should reportappointed to wait upon and urge them to a decision, and to a future meeting ['his was seconded by a gentleman in the body of the raga , and, on being put from the chair, was carried, after some op' position from Mr. Lewin. with only two or three dissentients. The following gentlemen were then appointed the de p t' tion :—Messrs. Buchanan, Holme, Searight, Jones, and 1‘ 10 " catta.
