PUBLIC NOTICE. - WAR AGAINST
RIGHT.—The Diamond Lamp is perfect—Buy no other.—
The so-called Carcel Lamps are leaky aid worthless. All who
have bought them, know this too well. These Carcel Lamps are
puffed off for the Diamond Lamp—What a delusion! What 'an
absurdity to think thus to triumph over public opinion. The
language that describes CLARK'S DIAMOND LAMP is copied
to eulogize these Carcel Lamps.
The Metropolitan Light Company, to end these impositions, give
this notice, so that by all demanding the Diamond Lamp, the de-
ceptive Carcel Lamp can no more be sold.—The Diamond Lamp
bears a Label, ou which is inscribed " CLARK'S PATENT DIA-
MOND OIL LIGHT," so all can know the Lamp.
The Diamond Lamp with the Eight New Lights are always bunt-
ing at the Establishment of the Metropolitan Light Company.

A R R I A G E.
Yi One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense at right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
later the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
EMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
coy misinterpretation of their sapposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
Jule publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
by post ls. fid.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely
pqmphlcts, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paterncstcr-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•street • Mann,

who) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,

1 THE UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY ETENING.

The North American mail steamer Canada, Cap-
tain Judkins, has arrived with accounts from New
York to the 7th inst. The Canada, from Liverpool,
arrived at New York on the 30th ult., in 17 days ;
and the United States, from Southampton, on the
sth inst., in 27 days. The latter vessel had to put
into Halifax for a supply of coals. The Niagara,
hence for Boston, arrived at Halifax on the 10th.
A vessel arrived a New Orleans from Sisal reports
hare seen the West India mail steamer Avon on shore
on the Alacranes on the lith ult., with a number of
wreckers alongside.

The proceedings of Congress had not been impor-
tant ; the project of
a railroad across the Isthmus of
Panama had formed the topic of daily discussion, but
without any decisive result; its success this session
was problematical. The sum required by New Gra-
nada as a security had been paid, and an agent dis-
patched to test the ground.

The Canadian Reciprocity Bill would probably
share a similar fate.

The slavery question had not presented any new
development. Mr. Calhoun's manifesto had been
issued in extenso. A Bill had been presented to the
Senate on the 29th from a Select Committee to admit
California as a State, and. likewise new Mexico, when
she shall have acquired sut6cient population.
In the House of Representatives considerable dis-
cussion took place on the 31st touching a Bill prohi-
biting the introduction of slaves into the district of
Columbia. Externally, the free movement had gained
new power in the election of Dlr. Seward as senator
for New York.

The domestic affairs of the Union are unimportant.
The Legislature of Pennsylvania authorized
the Trersurer on the 31st ult. to negotiate a loan of
200,000 dollars, in anticipation of the regular re-
venues, to meet the interest on its debt due in
February. Accordingly, the interest has been paid,
but unfortunately to the extent of one-half in relief
notes, 2i per cent. below par. The Secretary of the
Treasury at Washington had stated his intention to
receive its outstanding notes at par.
The movement in reference to California is the next
feature of note. Although few, if any, later advises
had been received, the tide of emigration continued
unabated. Up to the close of January, 5,710 indi•
viduals had taken the route to the new El Dorado in
99 vessels, hundreds were being added to the number,
and whole fleets of ships were announced for de-
parture. A large amount of specie in silver had also
been shipped for California, to the amount of 500,000
dolls. 60,000 dolls. value had been received thence.
The accounts daily put forth by the press of the
United States continue of the most exciting and
extraordinary character. Gold to a large amount
continues to reach the United States from California.
In Philadelphia a mercantile house had received a
lump of gold over 41bs. in weight, and described to be
of a very pure kind. In New York one of the bank-
ing houses in Wall-street had received several bars,
three of which weighed over 251bs. They are stated
to be 21:1 carats fine. A communication received by
the American Government from one of the officers,
,drted Mazatland, says—" One piece was found of
solid gold of 251bs. weight, and another 71bs. Pieces
from one to twenty ounces are quite common, and are
about 20i carats fine." The same correspondent
states—" The region extends over 400 miles long by
200 broad:' Emigration continues on a very large
scale at nearly all the ports of the Union. Ships are
up for freights and passengers, which are rapidly
filled and quickly succeeded by others. A large
number of vessels are at St. Francisco, deserted by
their crews and unable to leave. The most extrava-
gant sums were offered for sailors, but without success.
The latest dates from Chagres and Panama are to
the Bth and 9th ult. inclusive. They were discou-
raging touching that route to the New World. A
private letter received in New Orleans states that
2,000,000 dolls. in gold dust was at San Francisco
awaiting transit to the United States. A Mazatlan
etter of the 20th of December reports that the wash-
ings had ceased, the whole region being covered a
foot deep with snow. Cold had been discovered
100 miles south of the original field.
A Valparaiso letter of the 80th of December an-
nounces an arrival of 70,000 dolls. in gold dust and an
active emigration to California.
Important dispatches from the Governor were lying
at Mazatlan, waiting the means of dispatch.
At New York the fever remains unabated.
Our money letter states that the market was more
stringent. The spring trade was opening courage-
ously. The amount of prominent paper offering in
the Street was not large, and the rates of discount
were from Bto 10 per cent. per annum. For prime
bills the demand on call was goad at 6 to 7 per cent.
The supply of exchanges for the Canada was full, and
the inquiry limited. The market closed, with a
downward tendency, at 1081 to 1081. The quota-
tions for securities were rather lower. United States
Six per Cents., 1856, 1031 104; Six per Cents.,
1862, 106 107 ; Six per Cents., 1867, 1071 108 ;
Six per Cents , 1868, 108 109 ; Five per Cents, 1853,
98 98+; Mexican Indemnity, 92 94; Treasury
Notes, Six per Cent., 107+ 1071. Pennsylvania
Fives were quoted 771 to 78 ; and Ohio Sixes, 1880,
103 to 03/}.
From Canada we have no news of note ; our dis-
patch gives the opening speech of the Governor of
Nova Scotia.
From Mexico we have letters to the 14th ult. The
Cabinet of llerrera was firm. Congress had met on
the Ist, and the speech of the President at the open-
ing, and the reply thereto, indicate harmonious views
and a settled purpose to bring about what the Presi-
dent justly says is the one thing needful for the pro-
sperity of the country—a good administration. All
the shares in the Mexico and the Jacubaya Railway
were taken. The insurgents at Taluca were dis-
persed by the Government troops under General
Donolga. Generals Puiscon and Alvarez were con-
centrating their troops in the state of Mexico to
restore perfect tranquillity.
From Yucatan we learn that 500 American volun-
teers, after a desperate struggle, had defeated 8,000
Indians, and the pre-eminence of the whites is
restored.

Havannah accounts of the 22d ult. state that the
new crops began to appear in excellent quality. The
captain Gencral was recovering.
Port-au-Prince letters of the 12th announce the es-
tablishment by the Haytian Republic of the Govern-
ment monopoly in cotton and coffee. Dealers are to
bell exclusively to Government at fixed prices.

At Matanzas on the 20th business was generally
dull. The crops of sugar and molasses would be
short.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, FEB. 7 .

Cotton—The Canada's accounts created iomedisap-
pointment, flat markets, with limited sales, and a decline
on the rise which occurred after the departure of the last
mail; but the market has since rallied to about the
prices of a fortnight aro. We quote middling 6ic. to
7c for upland; 7c. to 7 c. for "Gulfs;" fair le. for up-
lands; and Bc. to Bfe. for Orleans. The aggregate re-
ceipts of cotton at all the shipping ports are
1,338,887 bales, against 929,309 to the same dates
last year—an increase this season of 409,078 bales.
The total foreiga export this year is 230,481 bales more
than last year—say 271,614 bales increase to Great
Britain; 39,986 decrease to France, 5,477 increase to the
North of Europe, and 6,624 decrease to other foreign
ports. The shipments from southern to northern ports
are 129,275 bales more this season than last; and there
is an increase in stock of 103,002 bales.
Flour—The demand is light, and prices close lower.
Western and common Gennessee, 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls.
624-c. Since our notice of the departure of the last
steamer the market has
been dull and gradually de-
clining, owing chiefly to the abundant supplies from New
Orleans, which have, we believe, all been disposed of
from the wharf, and prices of the lower grades now stand
18;e., and of the higher 6}o. below those current on the
20th ult., these last having maintained themselves mush
bettor than the former, the supply not being large and
the demand more steady and uniform.
Grain, &c.—The stock of Western wheat, before no-
ticed as large, is gradually decreasing, a portion being
ground in this vicinity on owners account; the bulk,
however, remains, and is held very firmly.
Corn since the departure of the last steamer has de-
clined 2e. on round Northern, and 50. on Southern, the
market closing without activity, prices being in favour
of the buyer.
Freights to Liverpool.—Cotton, 5. 16 of Id. per lb.;
corn in bulk, Gid. to 7d.; heavy goods, 30s. per ton.
To London.—Flour, 2s. 6d . per barrel; tobacco, per
2s. 6d. to 35.; heavy goads,
hogshead, 40i.; turpentine,
32i. Gd. to 355. per ton.
To Havre there have been no recent engagements.
NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 29.
Merchants here are anxiously looking for later advices
from Europe. The cotton.market was brisk, provisions
were dull, and freights still advancing.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.—The per ances at this
popular place of amusement continue to draw crowded
audiences, Mr. 13. Barnett appearing and sustaining the
principal part in his brother's clever drama of Monsieur
Jacques. Miss Do Burgh made an interesting Nina.
At the conclusion of the drama they were called before
the curtain to receive that applause which they so richly
merited. The liduse was crowded.
