Mari r-
ttp • Att X ita, in their circular isstit'a this morning, say :
have recovered a shade 'nom the decline advised
.0 WC' last circular, blit th changes for the fortnight,
',tally speaking, hitill'heen of no importance, resulting
in a slight decline on railroad bonds, and a fractional
improvement in other securities. Pacific mail alone has
experienced severe fluctuations—having fallen from 81 to
70, recovering rapidly to 79, and closing at 751. The
demand For money noticed in our last, is still sustained,
and has rather increased, the minimum for loans on call
being 5 per cent., and for first-class paper 6 to 7 per cent "
The New York bank statement, issued yesterday, was
considered favourable as of late, and has induced an
increase of demand of money offered by private lenders
on temporary employment.
The cotton market has been steady. The news by
.the
America, telegraphed from Halifax, has hot exercised
any particular influence. Common grades are lower ;
still the business done has °not been gnite sufficient to
test prices. We take the following extract from the
circular of William P. Wright :

Respecting Breadstuffs, Mr. Bill in. his-cimular issued
this morning, says: "During the fortnights interval,
there has' been .a tllisposition shown on the part of a few
speculative hold'ers of Flour to realise. and meet the
views 'of purchasers ; the conquente :kas been an
unsettled market, and fluctuating prices; still as a
general thing,Xiere is a firm tone to tlie trade, and,
within the la'St day or two, the market has gradually
improved, 'closing yesterday with 'firmness, at rather
limproved ,'ratts. The export trade 'la England has
kite 'eeascid, no clearances having been made to
Liverpool, quid 10 brls. only to London, since the 21st
Deeembe-.7 last. The market for'' eat continues to
imprOve, tke article being *offered "only at rates much
-above the-dews of millers. There.isAsut little doing, and
the. trade +-rules quiet. Inman ,tern' is without material
change ;zithe stock of Old Western is firmly
.held; the
Southern, and Jersey New, sells, ontrrival, for immediate
-nse;at‘prices within our range. ;Barley remains inactive:;
the lott.lately received from Copentao-en has been sold,
partly for seed, at $1 25e, .and ,the balance at about $1
.156f-4SVlbs.
Pno‘crstorrs : The demand ifor park is dull, and prices
are in.favour of the buyer. Cut meats continue in fair
rrt nest, including hams at I:W*lc. Bacon is quiet ;
and Lard is in request. Beef keeps in demand at firm
prises, There is no .changedtatie_ghts. Sea IslanelCot-
, ton has been taken at d, ,compressed Cotton at 5-32 d to
3-16 E, Rosin is 104 d to Zs, Beals.

HOP' S : Sales have been reported of 70 bales last year's
zcrop, at 10e to 18c per lb.
: Small lots of ScotchTig were sold to-day, at
's3o per ton, usual terms.
;LEAD is in demand, and)is nuoted firm.
MOLASSES : Sales have leen-reported of 250 brls New
Orleans at 39c to 40c, anthl4o> bhds, and 10 tcs new crop
Clara Muscovado at 1k pergallon.
a‘TAVAL STORES Crude Turpentine continues quite
scarce, and is somewhat nominal in price. During the
week sales have been made of 210 brls Washington at
811,e, 1,450 brls North County at $3 871 c, and 700
brls ditto, ditto, to arrive, at 81c per 280 lbs. Spirits
-Turpentine has been purchased to the extent of 400 brls,
rart at 491 c per gallon. Notwithstanding the limited
demand, and the faet that buyers are by no means eager
et current rates, holders generally have retained their
firmness, and no transactions are reported tending to
-.chow anything like a decline. The light stock at
most of the southern ports of shipment, and the
;pretensions of holders there, ,are regarded as favourable
;I-indications by receivers here, while the fact that much of
lthe stock now in our marketyc7as shipped from Wilming-
iton at prices so high as to tender sales at present figures
anything but profitable, makes them unwilling sellers.
The export demand at the moment is very limited,
.although a considerable quantity could be placed at a
slight concession. The home trade is not buying largely.
We quote the market at the close quiet but firm, at 49-1 c
to 50c for lots in merchantable and shipping order. Sales
have been made of 1,600 brls at 49P, and 450 do at 50c,
including a parcel to arrive. Stock 10,000 brls. Tar is
very scarce, and held above, the views of buyers. The
last sale of Washington was made at $2 561 c per brl.
Rosin continues in good demand, at about latest quota-
tions. The movements during the week Messrs. Barton
and Stocker notice thus-: 'Common rosin has attracted
more attention, although at somewhat lower prices.
The large amount sent forward during the late active
demand checks export inhuiry, and large parcels are
somewhat difficult to place at satisfactory rates. There
is a decided improvement incthe medium and fine grades,
and large sales have been evade at full prices. The
- stock of desirable qualities .is becoming much reduced,
while that coming forward is mostly of the lower grades.
,;_l\Ve cannot look for any largareceipts of fine Rosin before
the new crop makes its appearance. Among the sales
;;have been 3,700 brls. Common at $1 72c. to $1 75e.,

&BDICATIOX

SOULOUQUI

s;r the schooner Charlotte Minerva we hare
jCingaton, Jamaica, papers to Jan. 29. The
.Staawd, of the 26th, says
In our. last we briefly announced that a revolution
had brae out at Hayti, headed bj one General Geffrard,
and that 2. battle had been fought hetween the troops of
Soulougne And the Revolutionists. From recent accounts
we are enabled to give fuller particulars. It appears
that on axaiving at Port-au-Prince, ,General Geffrard
sent a flag :of truce to the Emperox, offering .him
his life and protection to his family if he would
abdicate his power, and save the people of Hayti
from the horrors of a civil war. Souk:mope de-
manded time to
,consider, which was allowed him, but
before the allotted ;iime had expired the Imperial troops
laid down their arms ,and made common cause with the
followers of Geffrard. The Emperor, no longer left to
his choice, proceeded to make out his papers of abdieation,
and
on the lath he caused the following proclamation to
be made :
" Haytians,—Called by the will of the people to go-verP
the destinies of Hayti, all my care and anxieties have
constantly been for the welfare of my citizens and the
prosperity of my country, I held hopes that I could
have relied on the affections of those who elevated me
to that pimple power, but the 124 events that have

LEGHORN.
A correspondent of the Literary Gazette, writing- from
Leghorn on the 15th, mentions the following eve' t
which has just occurred there :—" Two boys—part of
a crew of an English vessel in the port—on returning to
their ship at night had a dispute with the boatman
as to his fare. Angry words were interchanged, and
menaces, when at length one of the boys having
ascended the ship's side, threw half a bucket of
water over the bargeman, and also struck him with a
small. piece of coal. The boatman thus assaulted
rowed back towards shore, but scarcely had he gone same
yards when he met the boat containing a sort of har-
bour guard, on the way to light the lamps, on the break-
water. What representations he may have made to them
is difficult to say, but the result was that they boarded
the English ship, beat the two boys most cruelly, fol-
lowing them as they tried to escape over the vessel,
and ultimately left them bleeding and senseless. While
these proceedings were going forward, the captain, his
mate, and the took, who had been on 41rore, returned
to the vessel, and were immediately set upon by the
armed force, now reinforced by another boatful, armed
with maslats. Not heeding the sprelestations of the
captain and his people that they were ignorant of all that
had occurred ; not listening to the agrarance that,;it any
injury had been done in their absence, or any of trage
committed, due reparation.iikould betmade—they attacked
them, 'inarmed as they -were, slag:ling away recklessly
with their swords tilt they had left the captaitidanger-
ously wounded in the head and face, and mate equally
matreated, and eves ihe cookOito had hidhimself in the
hold, was dragged fromkiis hiding place to be cut down
anti beaten like the reg. So serious were the injuries,
that the wounded men had tolbe conveyed to, an hospital
on stretchers, sad are now ling dangeronsly ill. Mr.
Macbean, the Elie& consul, an official 'whose zeal and
,ability are wet:l-known, at cure addressed himself to the
'governor of Leghorn., dernanEng a full and open investi-
gation of the occurrence, .autl ample punishrnent against
' all proved ictilpable of 'the outrage. The ..governort
acting under the -advice ofthe advocate:g,ceeral, a sort of
Attorney-General, .attetnpted to turn the entire blame
upon the English, ascribiug to them, .as a national cha-
racteristic, 'the tendency to overturn all authority in
countries mitt their own, but ending by offering in a
species eflkind comprotalse to draw stakes on both sides,
and take no further steps iu the matter. To this the
consul !mosttproperly.demurred, and immediately placed
himself in-rdation•with the British legation at Florence,
in whose:heeds the
.question now lies"

Same%ensation has been caused at Madrid by a disa-
greeatiloriffair at °manna. The Captain-General of that
prolince some time ago gave directions to the commander
of the:fort of 'San Antonio, of that pert, not to allow any
vesselstto leave-which had not obtained a regular order.
An English vessel, the Gibraltar, resolved to leave
wifhottt one. 'She was told to step, but did not obey;
same muskets shots were fired at her, but she took no
notice; at • last • ta, canon was fired! to make her bring to,
and.on that she stopped, complied with the formality of
obtaining, an order, and left.
3!) Eserntremc AND FATAL FIRE IN LONDON.—FIVE
ti Es Losr.—On Saturday morning, between the hours
of two aud 'three o'clock, a fire='-involving the loss of a
serious amount of property, the lives of not fewer than
five human beings, and serious injury to four others, took
place on the premises of Mr. John Rufus Reeves, eating-
house keeper, Great James-street, Paddington. The fire
was discovered by police constable D 261, who observed
smokeissning through the shutters, and instantly raised
an alarm. Mr. R. Elton, of Salisbury-street, and Mr. G.
Warrenrof Notting-hill, procuroe a ladder, and messengers
were dispatched for the royal Are escape. At this moment
an agonising scene took place—nine persons presented
themselves at the top front window, crying piteously for
help. The ladder being short, Mr. Reeves handed out
the cook, Mary Waylan, who was the first brought
down. At this moment conductors John Hall and
Horne arrived with their ,fire-escapes, when Hall
rescued'M'rs. Reeves and two children. Some person
most •injudiciously broke open the shutter, when
the flames rushed up and •set fire to the machine;
Hall, with Mrs. Reeves, fell to the ground, injuring
the policeman Hobbs so -severely that all three were
conveyed to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington. Horne
hail unshipped the short ladder of his escape, and by
great exertion placed it on. the roof of the next house for
the purpose of rescuing the others through the roof,
when the whole of the building fell in, burying Mr.
Reeves, the master; Christiana Reeves, aged eight
years:; Jane Reeves, aged five years; Frederick Reeves,
aged three years; and the nurse, Mary Jones, who was
attending Mrs. Reeves in her confinement. The engines
of the parish, and several of the London Fire Brigade,
with 'Mr. G. R. Staples. the district foreman, and
engineers Tozer and Paul Gerrard, were promptly on the
spot, and the firemen, having a plentiful supply of
water from the mains of,the West Middlesex Water
Works, went to work in an admirable manner, but the
.only good they could do was to protect the adjoining
houses. As soon as the fire was sufficiently got under,
engineer Tozer, and firementlaker and Johnson, went in
to search for the missing bodies. They first discovered
Mr Reeves, burnt to a cinder, lying in the kitchen, and
afterwards Mary Jones and the three children. Their
remains •were conveyed to the workhouse, to await the
coroner's inquest. The cause of the fire is not known,
The loss will fall on the County Fire-office.
