The Southern States,

The arrival at Plymouth yesterday of the iron
screw steam brig Harriet Pinckney from Bermuda
has supplied considerable information regarding
the active traffic carried on between that island and
Wilmington, the chief port of the Southern States,
and of the internal condition of the Confederacy.
The steamship Thistle, which brought from Wu.
mington to Bermuda 927 bales of cotton, and some
of the passengers who landed at Plymouth, left on
the 10th of May, and was followed by the steamers
Minnie and Greyhound, but as neither of these has
since been heard of they are supposed to have fallen
into the hands of the Federal blockaders. The
Helen and the Atalanta, which left between the 10th
and 12th with cotton and tobacco, had arrived, and
were discharging their cargoes. Ten or 12 vessels
were at Bermuda ready to go across. They experience
some difficulty in entering the port of Wilmington,
but not much in departing during a dark night.
The rates of freight range from £3O to £6O per
ton for all descriptions of goods. Passage money
outwards 300 dols. (i6O). The restrictions of the
the Confederate Government on the traffic are very
severe; one is that for every 100 tons of cotton or
other produce exported in a ship she shall bring
back 50 tons of clothing, bacon, or other stores in
the quartermaster's department. Silks, wines,
teas, sugars, and similar "luxuries" are prohibited
from importation. Cotton is valued per lb. in
Wilmington at 2 dols. to 2i dols. Confederate cur-
rency, and the same article in Bermuda at 45c. to
48c. (about 25.) in gold. Shoes are estimated at 50
dols. per pair, Indian corn 15 dols. per bushel, and
bacon at 3 dols. to 4 dols. per lb.:These prices are, how-
ever, almost nominal. The recent acts on taxes and
funding have sensibly diminished the curreney, but
as yet have had no appreciable effect on the prices
of provisions. The intelligence now brought fully
confirms previous accounts of the privations en-
dured by the Southerners. They have scarcely any
wines; coifs() is a great luxury, and all ranks live
on the plainest food. The news from Carolina by
passengers who have come to England in the Harriet
Pinckney is to the effect that no indication of des-
pondency exists. They in no way relax in their pre-
parations for the continuance of war. Attention is
paid ercl naively to raising provisions and tosecnring
a full commissariat for the army. Only enough
cotton is sown to provide seed from season to season.
The army is maintained entirely by conscription.
No one available for militaryservice is permitted to
leave the country. The prisoners and commissariat
are in charge of men between 45 and 60 years of
age, and of lads over 17 years. At 18 they go up
to the military stations, enter their names, and
select their companies. There are few foreigners
in the Confederate army; the Germans are not
relied on, as they desert freely ; the Irish prove
good and faithful soldiers. The negroes on the
plantations, &c., were never more obedient or in-
dustrious. At the outbreak several left for the
North, but those who could get back returned to
their old masters and spread such an account of
their sufferings that all are now contented to
remain.

We see in our advertising columns the prospectus
of a new company, comprising the flourishing pro..
perty known as " Princes Club," distinctive for
its English speciality and the high rank of its
members. This is a noticeable instance, though
of now daily occurrence, of ineividual enterprise
and ownership merging into the powerful principle
of optional participation and self-governance, and
tends to show the misled and yet growing favour
with which corporate associations are regarded by
even our very highest class.
