PEARL CANDLE LAMP.-NO FICTION!!
—The Lamps hitherto used have created vast inconvenience,
and it is high time they were annihilated—thanks to the gigantic
improvements of our age, the time is at hand. To offer a Lamp—
perfection—is, we deem, rendering a public service ; for what are we
without light ? The Pearl is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged.
No cleaning required. To sell the ordinary Candle Lamps is now
impossible; the public have long enough been pestered with such
rubbish. The Pearl Candle Lamp is the perfection of candle lights.
The public will have none other. Designs to suit every taste.

melia, died at Monastir during the last week of January,
and that a terrible fire bad devastated Pera on the 27th ult.

The letter of General Taylor, which has excited so
much attention, is to be followed by the publication of
he whole of his correspondence with the War Depart-
ment, from the time he took his position at Fort Brown
till the storming of Monterey. This is the result of a
motion made by Mr. Thompson in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and to the production of which the Govern.
went have agreed. Its production is anticipated with
great eagerness by the friends of General Taylor.
The Secretary of the Treasury has presented to the
Senate a report in answer to the resolution of that body,
calling for information relative to an increase or dimi-
nution of duties, with a view to the augmentation of the
revenue.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, Fzn. 3.—The weather was very wet and
stormy, rendering all out-door business exceethngly disagree-
able. The markets were generally quiet, while quotations
exhibited some less firmness in breadstuffs.
Ashes—The market was steady, with moderate sales at
4 dolls. alc. to 4 dolls. 87 }c. for Pots and. 5 dolls. Vic. for
Pearls.
Barley-75 cents. was offered. Holders held it at higher
rates.

dolls., prime 8 dolls. On 'Change holders were firm at 10
dolls. 50c. for mess, and 8 dolls. 50c. for prime.
Breadstuffs—Flour—This market continued quiet. Some
large holders demanded 7 dolls. for Genessee, but buyers were
not so plentiful as yesterday at 6 dolls. 874 c.; small sales were
made at 6 dolls. 871 c., and 1,000 ditto at 6 dolls. 75c. ; 150

this article. We heard of sales of 2,000 bales at firm prices,
a portion of which was reported for export.
