where the annual provincial fair opens.
A NEW PLANET DISCOVERED.

Walker's army had encamped. The Icarus pro-
ceeded up the river and captured Walker and 70
of his men, all of whom were taken to Truxillo,
and delivered to the authorities of Honduras.
Walker's men were very destitute; and many of
them being sick, were permitted to return to the
United States, on the condition of never again
engaing in an expedition against Central Ame-
rica. General Walker and Colonel Kudller are

TERRIFIC GALE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO.

There was a furious gale on Saturday, the 15th
ult., in the Gulf of Mexico, involving a great
destruction of property. Nearly every house in
Belize was carried away, and several lives were
lost, including Captain Kinney, pilot of the New
York and Havauah Steamship Company.
The steamer Galveston, ships Galena and
Sheffield, brigs West India and Teucey, bound
out, were all blown ashore at the Passes.
Several towboats are lying high and dry.

At Mobile the storm was severely felt. All
the wharves in the lower part of the city were
submerged during the gale. Pomeroy and Mar-
ihall's lime warehouse was burned, and several
steamboats blown ashore. The brig Leghorn,
from Mobile to Pensacola, was also washed
ashore.

The loss by the fire and storm was $500,000.
COMMERCIAL.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.--The stock market was
buoyant and higher at the early board yesterday,
but fell back to about stationary prices in the
afternoon, the later foreign news being adversely
construed. The bank returns show a decrease of
$226,000 in specie and $997,000 in the discount.
Exchange dull; London, 1093- to 1091. Cotton
market quotably unchanged. Heavy receipts of
flour and wheat, and market unfavourable. News
by the Jura depressed prices, which declined
materially and closed irregular. Corn was like-
wise plentiful and cheaper. Provisions were less
sought after. Coffee and rice quiet. Tallow,
rosin, and turpentine attracted more attention.
No important change occured in other com-
modities.

(From IV. P.-Wright and Co's circular.)
There has been a tame feeling in our cotton market
during the past week. Prices are feebly supported by
the purchases of our domestic consumers. Nothing of
moment has been done for export. We reduce our
quotations slightly, and remark that they apply to the
old crop. The new crop sells on the basis of 111 c. for
Middling, and 12c. for Good Middling Uplands. The
sales for the week have been 5,000 bales. The clear-
ances have been—for Liverpool, 488 ; Genoa, 42 ;
Marsala and Palermo, 30. Total, 560 bales.
TRANSIT CorroN.—We have already several parcels
of transit cotton on the market from Mobile and New
Orleans. No sales have yet been made,
prices being so
much above the parity of Liverpool. There is little
present prospect of active business.
By telegraph the following has been received :
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.—Receipts for the week,
32,700 bales (net) ; same week last year, 33,000 bales.
Sales for the week, 14,500; middling, lop. per lb. ;
stock on hand, 105,000 bales ; Exchange on London,
109 to 110 per cent ; freights to Liverpool 2d. per lb.
P. M. Sales to-day, 4,000 bales ; prices unchanged.
17th. Market quiet and unchanged ; sales to-day, 4,000
bales.
MOBILE, Sept. 15.—Receipts for the week, 10,500
bales; same week last year, 10,394 bales; middling,
une. per lb. ; freight to Liverpool, Fd. per lb.
Cnor.—The experience of the past two seasons proves
how foolish it is to indulge in estimates too early. We
repeat the assertion that all estimates in figures are
mero guess work, and that for two mouths from this
date no reliance can be placed upon figures for the next
crop. There are still complaints of injury from too
much rain in the extreme south, while from the upland
states and Alabama the injurious effectsof the drought
are more and more perceptible. The second growth is
going on well, and much diversity of opinion exists as
to the results therefrom.
RECEIPTS, EXPORTS, &c.—Thus early in the season
the comparisons are not of much interest. In a week
or two some indication will be given of their probable
course with last year.

During the last two or three days the War Office
have issued a circular to commanding officers of
volunteer rifle regiments, informing them of the neces-
sity of making selections of some effective members
to attend at'. Hythe, for the purpose of under-
going a course of musketry instruction, with a view
to the subsequent teaching of the members of the
corps to which they are attached. The Government
ullibit the greatest solicitude for the efficiency of the
volunteers in every department, and in that most essen-
tial of all, the making them good rifle marksmen ; with
this view the order referred to states that the volunteers
selected from various corps to be sent to Hythe, whilst
they will, for a period of fourteen days, be „expected to
conform to all regulations adopted with respect to the
regular army, they will be provided with the necessary
arms and ammunition free of expense, and that the only
cost to a volunteer undertaking the course of musketry
instruction will be his own keep and lodging, Which he
can procure upon reasonable terms in the town.
