this document it appears that the sums granted to
the different departments during the year exceed
six and a quarter millions of dollars. Advices from
Peru to Nov. 11 represent that country as unsettled
as ever. Revolution is its normal state. An out-
break, of which Echinique and Castillo are said
to be the instigators, had occurred in Ariquipa,
and the revolutionists had declared in favour of
Vivanco. Thera had been a terrible invasion by a
large body of Indians from the upper Amazon.
The towns of Sanlander and Andoas were destroyed
and some of the inhabitants kilted. The survivors
fled to the woods and declared that if the govern-
ment did not afford them relief; they would place
themselves under the protection of Ecuador.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. The pressure for money in the
street among the brokers, is greater then at any previous period
of this season. This is owing in part to the disturbing of call
loans consequent upon the moveup.n, re pay off a portion of
the city's indebtedness ; but tik;ie humid this an active
demand for capiial. The Southern [:auks are all urgent `

In this market, the stock. offering is small, and holde,s are
very indifferent about selling. Prices have advanced fully be
per lb, and the sales I estimate at 7,000 bales, half being for
our own domestic consumers. The market yesterday, closed
buoyantly at the submitted quotations. The export for the
week has been—to Liverpool, 3,924 bales ; Antwerp, 280.
Cotton in transitu continues to be enquired for, as being
cheaper than can be done in any of the Southern markets.
The sales have been moderate, owing to the limited quantity
of samples I quote for New Orleans, on the basis of id
freight—middling, 124 c •, bare middling, 12e. Some sales of
strictly good middling Tpland. with id freight, have been
made during the past week, at 121 e. Yesterday, by the
arrival of the Empire City, from Now Orleans, we received a
fresh supply of samples, which are scarcely yet fairly on the
mtrket. The Southern markets are alai() at advancing prices.
Through the agency of the telegraph, we learn from New
Orleans and Mobile, for a week later, that prices were further
enhanced—middlings, on 'the 12th instant, being quoted in
the former at 12e, freights 19-32 d, and in the latter, 1 14c,
freights, 21 32d. This improvement is predicated upon tho
assumption that this year's crop will be insufficient for the
requirements of the world, and in the belief that as money
grows cheaper in Europe, cotton must enhance in value.
By telegraph the following has been received.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11 : Receipts for the week, 66,000
hales; same week last year, 77,000 bales. Sales for the week
44,000. Middling 12c per lb. Market firm. Freight to
Liverpool 19-32 d per lb ; to Havre,
MOBILE, Dec. 19 ; Receipts for the week, 32,000 bales ;
same week last year, 29,000. Sales for the week, 22,000.
Stock on hand 113,000. Middling lljc per lb. Freight to
Liverpool 21-32 d.
Caor : The opinions from the South confirm the belief in
a crop' omewhat short of 3,000,000 bales. The result of
the pickings, from individual planters are so numerous, and
so uniformly below those of last year, that I find many parties
who have, thus far, been strong advocates in a crop exceeding
3,000,000 bales, yield the point, and perhaps lean too much
towards the opposite extreme,
RECEIPTS, though still free, are below last year, and below
the corresponding week in 1852. At the interior markets in
Georgia and Alabama, they are falling off rapidly.

EXPORTS are on a moderate scale for this late Period of the
season ; to Great Britain for the week 40,000 bales, against
. .

00,000 bales last year, and 44,000 bales for the corresponding
week in 1852. The total to Great Britain shows a deficiency
of 176,000 .bales as compared with last year, and 192,000
bales compared with 1862. - -
QUALITY : The advices for a week later, confirm my report
of the falling eff in quality at the ports of 1%12,w Orleans,
Savannah, and Charleston. W. P. WRIGHT.
