COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, MARCH 9.—The stock and money troubles
of Wall-street continue, and the former grew quite seri-
ous in the forenoon, from the continued stringent calls
of the banks on their demand loans. These loans are
Mostly made subject to call, without an hour's notice,
and they are now being used to strengthen the position
of the banks with each other, for their daily or weekly
settlements.
The market for breadstuffs is quiet, andprices rule at
very nearly the same rates as at the last advices, West-
ern Canal flour being quoted at 4 dols. 87c. to 5 dols.,
steady ; Genessee wheat, 1 dol. 22c. to 1 dol. 24c. ; In-
dian corn, round yellow, 64 dol. 66c. well supported ;
Indian meal, 3 dol. 25c. to 3 dol. 374 c.
The following are the latest quotations in our cotton
market :—New Orleans and Mobile, mid fair to fair,
llic. to 12c. ; Uplands and Florida, 108 c. to 111 c. per
lb.
The provision market is dull, and prices have a down-
ward tendency.
The rates demanded for freights are rather easier than
those last reported. Flour to Liverpool was taken at
2s. 6d., and part to fill up at 2s. 6d. ; corn at 71d., and
wheat on private terms ; tobacco, 30s. To Havre, bone
was taken at lc. ; cotton at lc. ; and rice at 8 dols. to
10 dols.
Exchange on London was dull, at 1091 to 1094 ; Paris,
6 121 ; Hamburgh, 361 to 361 ; Bremen, 80 to 811.
NEW ORLEANS, March 4.—The sales of cotton to-day
'Were 8,000 bales, at steady prices ' • middling is quoted at
ale. to 9c. The sales of the week are 60,000 bales ; the
increase in the receipts at all the southern ports over
the same time last year is 539,000 bales. The Hum-
boldt's news came to hand this afternoon after business
hours. 10,000 brls. Ohio flour sold to-day at 4 dols. 124 c.
to 4 dols. 25c.

OUR NAVAL RESOURCES.

Up to five o'clock yesterday, none of the men-of-war
had left gpithead ; but the squadron there, both sailing
and steam men-of-war, was ready for service, and all
fully manned, with the exception of the London, 92, Cap-
tain Mundy. This ship is now about 120 short: The
squadron consisted of the following :
Guns. Men.

Prince Regent
London
STEAMERS.

Guns. Men. h.-p.
Sidon
Odin
Leopard l6 300 560 Capt. Gifford.
Meomra (screw) 8 162 350 Com. Johnson.
All the above may be said to be ready at telegraph
notice for foreign service, for the London's complement
could be easily filled up from the ships in harbour. The
Agamemnon is a screw-ship of 91 guns. A large por-
tion of her crew are laid up with scarlatina, and more-
over she is about 130 blue jackets short of her comple-
ment of 850. The great screw three-decker the Duke
of Wellington, 131, is fast progressing in her equipment,
and, it is reported, will be out of the hands of the dock-
yard by the middle of neat month. She has about 500
on her books out of her complement of 1,100, but her
600 vacancies are for seamen. The screw steam guard-
ship Blenheim, 58, Captain W. H. Henderson, is ready
for service, with a full complement of 480 officers and
men.

But in addition to the above, and two or three
steamers, we have at Portsmouth the following, which
are now termed advanced ships, are to be kept ready
for sea, and, though not in commission, are also to be
kept ready to hoist the pendant and to receive men :
Guns. I Guns.

mission l2O
Nelson l2O

Collingwood

The Vengeance is an 84 gun-ship ; she has had her
defects made good, and has been under orders for some
time for Lisbon ; she has been only waiting for her men
on leave to return. Speaking of Plymouth, we had also
at that port last week a fine available squadron in the
Sound, composed of the following :

Guns. Men.
Queen ll6 400 Captain Michell.
Vengeance B- 750 Captain Lord E. Russell.
Leander 5O 500 Captain King.
The Queen,' however, has only an advanced comple-
ment.

UNITED KINGDOM
AN Y LIFE ASSURANCE
COMP,
. _

Established by Act of Parliament in 1834.

No. 8, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall, London.
The distinctive features of the Company embrace, amongs
others :
Tables of Premiums formed on the lowest scale compatible with
security, and constructed to meet the various wants of assurers,
and every risk to which protection by assurance can be extended.
One-half the Life Premiam for the first Five years may remain on
credit.

Loans granted on approved Personal Security.
Assured not restricted in their limits of travel, as in most other
Companies, but may proceed from one part or Europe to another in
decked vessels, without License, and to British North America, and
many parts of the United States, wit',out extra premium, by merely
giving the ordinary notice to the Office In London of the intended
visit.

Whole-world Policies granted at slightly increased rates of
Premium, thus rendering a Policy in money transactions a real
security.
Prospectuies, and every information, may be obtained upon appli-
cation to the Resident Director.
London, England, 1853-03-22

STRAM-VIMSELS.

Guns. Men. b.p.
Arrogant (screw) 46 450 360 Capt. S. leremantle.
Encounter (do.) l4 180 360 Capt. O'Callaghan.
Valorous l6 220 400 Capt. Buckle.
Magicienne l6 220 400 Capt. Fisher.
Desperate 8 220 400 Capt. Chambers.
Vulture 6 200 470 Capt. Gla,sse.
Argus 6 160 300 Com. Purvis.
In addition to these, we have the two screw ships—

Guns. Men. h.p.
Hogue. 5B 500 450 Capt. Ramsay.
Edinburgh 58 444 450 Capt. Hewlett.
These are in harbour, but ready for immediate sea-
service. The latter is the sea-going gunnery-tender,
and is about 100 men short.

Moreover, we have the following ships at Plymouth,
classified as " advanced ships." They are the most
powerful of our sailing men-of-war :

Guns.
St. George, ordinary flag-
ship in commission l2O
Royal William l2O
Royal Adelaide lO4
Romlis.y B4
Calcutta Bl

Guns.
Thunderer B4
Clarence B4
Canopus B4
Indus 7B
Foudryant 7B
Cambridge 7B

. -
At Sheerness, too, we have a large and powerful
available squadron of ships in commission fitting and
advanced.

"We have not the slightest fear that the services of
any of the ships either ready or in reserve will be re-
quired to act hostilely; but should an emergency arise,
the world will see from our lists that we can muster, at
comparatively a few hours' notice, three or four fleets of
the strength of that most expert and compact force
now under Vice-Admiral Dundas, and by which the
means and resources of the gallant and popular Com-
mander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean may be imme-
diately strengthened.

A CHINESE ARTIST ON FEMALE BRAWL—LUMPS is
called by Europeans the Sir Thomas Lawrence of China ;
and he well deserves that proud distinction. , as the colour-
ing of this artist's oil paintings is exceedingly fine, although
his idea of female beauty differ materially from ours. In the
course of conversation, we asked his opinion of an English I
belle then at Canton, and the reply was characteristic of a
Chinaman's ideas of female beauty. Herface is too round,
she has colour in her cheeks, her eyes are too blue, too
large ; she's too tall, too plump, yi yaw ; her face talks
(meaning her countenance was expressive), and she has
feet so large that she can walk upon them. In Lum-
qua's atelier we saw many portraits both of Europeans
and Chinese, many of which were excellent likenesses,
and although deficient in light and shade, were executed
in a most masterly manner._Chink and the Chinese.
[ADVERFISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills for the Cure of
Asthmatic Coughs, and all Diseases of the Chest and
Lungs.—A gentleman named Middleton, of Scotland-
road, Liverpool, states, in a letter to Professor Hollo-
way, dated. Jan. 1, 1853, that for upwards of five years
he suffered severely from asthma, attended with a violent
cough, which so prostrated his strength and debilitated
his constitution as totally to unfit him for any of the
active duties of life. He was attended by the most
eminent medical men, but all failed to give him relief.
At length he tried Holloway's Pills, and in about threemonths this wonderful medicine effected a perfect cure
of his disease, and restored him to sound health.—Sold

TURKEY.

Most of the Paris journals of yesterday have
articles on the Eastern question. The Constztu-
tionnel says, " There is reason, up to this time, to be-
lieve that there is nothing on the part of Russia but
an idea of intimidation in order to bring the differ-
ent claims to a prompt result, and that on the part
of France the measures adopted are only those of
prudence taken in case any unforeseen incidents
should
arise. The integrity of the Ottoman Em-
pire is in no way called into question / . the discus-
sion remains on the pacific ground of negotiations,
and there is no reason to suppose that ulterior events
may arise out of it.'

The Pays repeats the expression of its belief that
nothing serious will result from the mission of
Prince Menschikoff, and shows that the Emperor
Nicholas cannot, without dishonour, demand from
Turkey concessions and privileges against which
provision has been made by treaty, In concluding
its remarks, the Pays says :
"The treaty of July 15, 1840, had precisely for ob-

THE HEAD MASTERSHIP OF CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—
The governors of this institution have appointed Tues-
day, April 1, for the election of a head master in the
room of the Rev. Dr. Edward Rice, whose melancholy
death was recorded in this journal some time ago. The
committee have selected the three following gentlemen,
and the governors on the day named will elect one of
them to the vacant office. The Rev. Dr. G. A. Jacob,
Principal of the Collegiate School, Sheffield ; the Rev.
Hugo Daniel Harper, M.A., fellow of Jesus College,
Oxford, head master of the Grammar-school, Sherborne ;
and the Rev. Henry Newport, M.A„ head master of
the Grammar-school, Exeter formerly head master of
St. Bartholomew's School, Newbury. Hitherto it has
been customary for the head master to hold, with the
mastership, one of the livings in the gift of the governors ;
but in future this privilege will be disallowed, and the
head master will not be allowed to take any clerical duty
unconnected with the school. The stipend is 8001. a-
year and residence.
A CHINESE ARTIST ON FEMALE BEAUTY.—Lumqua is
called by Europeans the Sir Thomas Lawrence of China ;
and he well deserves that proud distinction, as the colour-
ing of this artist's oil paintings is exceedingly fine, although
hie:idea of female beauty differ materially from ours. In the

belle.„naineann,,t Canton, and the reply was characteristic of a
