lIALF-PAST ONE.
Quebec Papers to the 29th of January state that a meeting
was held at the school-house, at which the Anti-Union Peti-
tions addressed to her Majesty and the two Houses of Parlia-
ment were adopted. That to her Majesty will be found to differ
only in the style to that to the Parliament. They are in sub-
stance the same with the resolutions published already.
From the New York Papers of February 10:
" NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 27.—Yesterday middling fair Cotton
declined fully one-fourth of a cent., one lot of that quality
going at 7/ cents. The transactions of the day were about
2,200 bags. Three houses have failed, dragging in with
them the soa-in-law of Mr. Clay, and others, to the
large amount of one million of dollar,. It was stated there,
on good authority, that there will be other and heavy
failures among the cotton houses, particularly thosewhich have
accepted largely on Planter's account in the early part of the
season, at a price then deemed low. The money medium of our
city is in daily course of contraction, and the distress is felt in
all quarters

In consequence of the report in the French Papers of the
despatches having been received from India at Marseilles, and
expected yesterday at Paris, the City during the morning has
been in constant agitation. Inquiry after inquiry has been
made at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, owing to a general report
that the despatches were in town, in consequence of which the
India House gentlemen sent round to the various Morning
Journals to ascertain the fact ; and the answer they had
not as yet received. We have this moment a report that two
expresses from Paris have passed the turnpikes, which requires
confirmation.

Consols at present 91 for the Account; they have receded
since the morning ; Money, 90%; Exchequer Bills, 22 20 22 ;
