COAT NIERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

After the sailing of the Africa a general improvement
manifested itself in the New York money market. Prime
business paper had declined from 10 to 9 per cent., and
in same cases was held at 81. A general advance on
stocks and shares had taken place. The funds of the New
York banks had been swelled by a portion of the Mexi-
can indemnity of 3,000,000 dols., under purchase from
the late dictator, Santa Anna. Messrs. Anpireall, Es-
candon, and Hargous have been successful at Washing-
ton, and the first drsft in payment for 656,000 dole. ap-
peared at the New York Sub-Treasury on the Bth, drawn
to Howland and Aspinwall, as assignees of the minister
of Mexico. The operation caused Sterling to advance to
109 per cent., though at the close first-class bids were
had at 108 - to 1085.
The New York Journal of Commerce reports as fol-
lows, on the evening of the Bth :
The great difficulty experienced since the present
cold term, in handling property, and the non-arrival of
the steamers, have been the occasion of much trouble
to the receivers, and with only a retail trade, the
market closes dull, with a considerable reduction on
the week. To-day there is more doing at the decline.
We quote 'common to private brands of State
and common extra at 7 dole. 3%-e. to 7 dots. 750. ; for
mixed to choice Michigan and Ohio 7 dole. 37e. to 8
dols. 50c. Canadian is also lower and sells at 7 dole.
75c. to 9 dole. 25c. for common to extra. Southern kinds
are in better request and with a moderate stock, and
no chance of much increase for some weeks. Holders
are firm at $8 50c. to .?1,.8 Slic. for common mixed to
good ; $8 871 e. to $lO 25c. for fancy to extra Bellmore,
Alexandria, and Georgetown. trandywine is ecirce at
$9 50c. Richmond City Mills, Haxall, at $ll 50c.
Rye flour is quiet at $5 to $7. Corn meal, $3 87,c. for
Jersey, and $4 121,c. for Brandywine. The export from
this port from let to 31st Jan.: 1856—wheat flour,
180,837 bbls. ; 1855—wheat flour, 72 794 bbls.
Grain—The transactions of the week past have been
quite limited, embracing 2,000 bushels southern red at
1672,c. ; 1,200 bushels Illinois red, I9oc. ; 2,800 bushels
Canadian, 206 c. The difficulty experienced by the trade
in handling grain during the past week or two has
greatly restricted trade.
Cotton—The market is dull, while advises by the over-
due steamers front England are awai!ed for with impa-
tience.

isIOoLAIEFF.

:The Moniteur de la Flotte, under the head of
"La Verite sur Nicolaieff," contains an article
from which we extract the following portion
"Nicolaieff is not merely a port of construction, ae i°
generally believed in Europe, but a pert for arming ve°'
eels of war. In grave circumstances the Russian spur
dron of reserve used to station there, and if that has not
taken plane during the present war, the reason is that
Prince Menschikoff desired to have, from the beginning
of the war, under his orders in the port of Sebastopol all
the armed veisels which were in the Black Sea. I°
order, too, that vessels of war should be able to navigate
between Nicolaieff and the sea, the Russian Board of
Admiralty has had a channel made the whole way dowr,
from which every rock or impediment has been care.
fully removed, and in which, during eight months of the
year, there are 23 feet of water. That depth become°
considerably greater when the river rises. The Russian
fleet in the Black Sea at the commencement of the War
consisted of 16 ships of the line, amongst which only
were of the first class ; the others, all of the third and
fourth class, drew only 22 feet of water when fully Armco'
The arming of these vessels had been effected altogether at
Nicolaieff, and they arrived at Sebastopol without th°
slightest difficulty, by following the channel ahead,'
mentioned, each having her guns on board as well as her
full complement of men, and an entire supply of proV
sions and stores. It results from what has just beeil
said, that ships of the line can be built and armed at
Nicolaieff, and can then, during the greatest part (4'oo
year, proceed to sea quite ready to fight. As to vessel°
of 120 guns and upwards, they can take all their gunl4
on board with the exception of those of the lower deck,
and complete their armament at Sebastopol. It TIZII
thus be seen what advantages can be derived from Nic?"
laieff. Both that place and Sebastopol are classed is
Russia among the ports of the Black Sea, just as Roche'
fort and Lozient, which are some way inland, are in the
list of the ports of France. The official name given to
Nicolaieff by the Imperial Government speaks nior°
strongly than anything, else that can be said. Nicolaieff
according to the literal translation of the name is, ' th:
chief place of the Russian military marine in the Bhic'''
Sea.' The establishment of Sebastopol was only th°
chief station of the Russian fleet, and the place of
,s°'
sembling when any expedition was in contemplation.'

RUSSIA.

A. letter from St. Petersburg, of the 14th, says :
" The hope of a reduction in the number of troops
now on foot will not be realised immediately, even
if peace be made. The troops are at such a dis-
tance from the positions which they occupied before
the war, and the old organisation has undergone
so many changes, that modifications must be made
before the men can be sent to their homes."

Another letter, of the 13th, in the Constitutionnel,
says :—" Nothing positive is publicly known on
the subject of the private instructions given by the
Emperor Alexander 11. to Count Orloff, but the
general report is that the Plenipotentiary, although
he represents the old Russian party, has received
orders to make every concession compatible with
the honour of the country, and not to embarass the
Conferences with difficulties of detail calculated to
raise contests of a personal character. The Czar is said
to have observed on this occasion—' Set aside the
inflexibility of principles of an old policy which,
after two centuries, requires a change, and so long
as guarantees incompatible with the honour of the
Russian flag shall not be demanded from you, do
not hesitate to agree to some necessary sacrifices. I
give my approval of them beforehand. I, moreover,
know that I have confided the defence of the inte-
rests of the empire to one of its first warriors,
and that they will be well defended ; I feel as-
sured that you will not go further than is proper.
My desire to pacify Europe is sincere—very sin-
cere. Second it, for we sow seed for the fu-
ture.' Such are, I will not say the textual, but
a summary of the general instructions given
by the Czar to his representative at the Peace
Conferences. The widow of Marshal Paskiewitch is
still ill ; she is preparing to return to Berlin,
whence she came to see her husband for the last
time. The Empress Mother, Fedrowna, is still
suffering more and more from a complaint which
has baffled all the skill of her medical attendants.
For the last few days in particular the nervous
attacks have become very violent. Yesterday the
Imperial family were thrown into alarm by one of
those periodical attacks which the enfeebled consti-
tution of her Majesty cannot long resist. It is,
however, hoped that the attention she receives will
tend to falsify the prediction of the august pa-
tient .that she shall not live to see the anniver-
sary of her husband's death. The illness
of the Empress Mother has put an end to
all the Court receptions and to the rejoicings
which followed the marriage of the Grand Duke.
Nicholas. All the members of the Imperial family
are plunged in deep affliction by seeing the com-
plaint of her Majesty making such rapid progress.
Two general officers have just been sent off, one to
the Crimea, and the other to Asia. The Emperor
heard with astonishment that notwithstanding his
adhesion to the propositions of Austria, the gene-
rals-in-chief of the two expeditionary corps con-
tinue the contest with fresh vigour. It is said
that the mission of those generals is to moderate
this warlike ardour."

TURKEY.

CONITANTINOPLE, Feb. 14.—For the last few
days the rumour has been current that Omer
Pasha was coming to Constantinople, and that he
had already sent his baggage before him. Some
interpreted this rumour as a recall, others as a wish
on his side to regain the lost ground at the Porte.
The real state of the case is that he sent in, for
the 999th time, his resignation, with the clause,
as usual, that he would only remain with the army
if certain conditions, which he had long ago urged,
were complied with. He has received orders to
remain where he is, especially as letters lately
received from Sugdidi report that General Brun-
ner, who has replaced Bagration Moukhransky,
the late Russian Commander in Mingrelia, was
collecting his forces, and threatening the Turkish
position.

General Shirley returned from Shumla ox Tues-
day last. Brigadier-General Watt retains the
command until further orders.

Au accident of a very serious character happened
to one of the Bashi• Bazouk squadrons. They were
quartered, men and horses, in a wooden shed ; the
Bashis, who seemed to have forgotten, if they ever
knew anything about, the laws of gravitation, were
iu the habit of cutting out pieces of timber from
the sides of the shed, and of using them for fire-
wood ; the consequence was, that one fine morning
the shed came down over their heads, killing eight
and wounding 11 men, and killing and wounding
42. horses.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

Aali Paella was received to-day by the Emperor.
Aali Pacha has been charged by the Sultan to
transmit to the Empress Eugenie and Queen Vic-
toria two diadems in brilliants.

Besides the horses, of which mention has already
been made, the Sultan has also sent to the Emperor
Napoleon a sabre, mounted with precious stones.
The Emperor yesterday received Count Orloff,
the Russian Plenipotentiary at the Conferences.
He was introduced to his Majesty by the Grand
Master of the Ceremonies. M. Walewski, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, was present.
A Council of Ministers was held at the Tuileries
yesterday, at which the Emperor presided.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

On Saturday afternoon her Majesty paid her first visit
to this theatre to witness the pantomime, Jack and the
Bean Stalk. The performance was exclusively for the
amusement of the Royal family, and such of the nobi-
lity and gentry as are attached to the Court. The centre
of the dress circle was converted for the occasion into
one large Royal box, the arms being placed in the
middle panel, and the draperies being festooned uP
with crowns and other devices in gold and with gold
and crimson cords and tassels. Moreover, the box Wag
decorated with crimson, velvet, gold and white silk in
the most costly style, the pwages were lined with Tel'
vet, and the floors and passages were covered with erim•
son cloth. At the conclusion of the performance ber
Majesty is said to have expressed to Mr. Webster
the gratification she had received. She was enthusiug'
ticaliy cheered when she quitted the theatre.

THE AUSTNALIAN MAILS.

LIVERPOOL, Friday.—The royal mail ship Spray of
the Ocean, Captain P. Slaughter, of the White Star line
of Australian packets, sailed this afternoon for Mel-
bourne, with the usual semi-monthly mails for the
Australian colonies. She carries out about 120 passen-
ers—in the first, second, and intermediate berths, but
none in the steerage ; in fact, she could have had doll'''e
the number had she had accommodation for them. iler
cargo is over 1,000 tons, and of a very valuable descrir
ton, being chiefly composed of fine goods. The Sprat
of the Ocean appears in capital sailing trim, and is Teri
likely to make a fast passage. Her commander, Capt..
Slsughter, is well known in the trade as a careful and
experienced navigator ; and the numerous testimonials be
has received froM passengers on his previous voyages
show that their comfort and happiness during the pal'
sage are well looked after. The succeeding vessel of the
White Star lice will be the .Shalimar, under the COre'
fraud of Captain James Brown (late of the White Star),
appointed to leave the Mersey with the mails for Mil'
bourne on Sunday, the 23d March.
The Royal mail ship Champion of the Seas, Captain
ki`liirdy, of the Black Ball line, will carry the neat
European mails to Australia, sailing from the Mersey on
the 7th proximo. She has already a considerable nam
her of passenger berths and a large extent of cargo roots
engaged. The Champion of the Seas has already wads
two capital passages to and from Australia ; the latter
under the command of Captain M'Kirdy, on which oc:
casion he was presAated with testimonials from all
classes of passengers for his kindness and courtesy oa
tLe voyage.
The ce:ebrated clipper ship James Baines, Captain •
Chas. 111‘Donnell, will succeed the Champion of the
Seas as the carrier of, the Eillish mails of the 6th of
April, under the Black Ball flag.

RUSSIA.

letter from St. Petersburg, of the 14th, says :
"The hope of a reduction in the number of troops
now on foot will not be realised immediately, even
if peace be made. The troops are at such a dis-
tance from the positions which they occupied before
the war, and the old organisation has undergone
so many changes, that modifications must be made
before the men can be sent to their homes."

Another letter, of the 13th, in the Constitutionnel,
says :—" Nothing positive is publicly known en
the subject of the private instructions given by the
Emperor Alexander 11. to Count Orloff, but the
general report is that the Plenipotentiary, although
he represents the old Russian party, has received
orders to make every concession compatible with
the honour of the country, and not to embarass the
Conferences with difficulties of detail calculated to
raise contests of a personal character. The Czar is said
to have observed on this occasion—' Set aside the
inflexibility of principles of an old policy which,
after two centuries, requires a change, and so long
as guarantees incompatible with the honour of the
Russian flag shall not be demanded from you, do
not hesitate to agree to some necessary sacrifices. I
give my approval of them beforehand. I, moreover,
know that I have confided the defenee of the inte-
rests of the empire to one of its first warriors,
and that they will be well defended ; I feel as-
sured that you will not go further than is proper.
My desire to pacify Europe is sincere—very sin-
cere. Second it, for we sow seed for the fu-
ture.' Such are, I will not say the textual, but
a summary of the general instructions given
by the Czar to his representative at the Peace
Conferences. The widow of Marshal Paskiewitch is
still ill ; she is preparing to return to Berlin,
whence she came to see her husband for the last
time. The Empress Mother, Fedrowna, is still
suffering more and more from a complaint which
has baffled all the skill of her medical attendants.
For the last few days in particular the nervous
attacks have become very violent. Yesterday the
Imperial family were thrown into alarm by one of
those periodical attacks which the enfeebled consti-
tution of her Majesty cannot long resist. It is,
however, hoped that the attention she receives will
tend to falsify the prediction of the august pa-
tient that she shall not live to see the anniver-
sary of her husband's death. The illness
of the Empress Mother has put an end to
all the Court receptions and to the rejoicings
which followed the marriage of the Grand Duke
Nicholas. All the members of the Imperial family
are plunged in deep affliction by seeing the com-
plaint of her Majesty making such rapid progress.
Two general officers have just been sent off, one to
the Crimea, and the other to Asia. The Emperor
heard with astonishment that notwithstanding his
adhesion to the propositions of Austria, the gene-
rals-in-chief of the two expeditionary corps con-
tinue the contest with fresh vigour. It is said
that the mission of these generals is to moderate
this warlike ardour."

MILITIA.

An opportunity was given a few days ago to the Edin-
burgh County Militia (now Queen's Regiment of Light
Infantry Militia) of volunteering into the line, when,
after an address from the Duke of Buccleuch, colonel of
the regiment, a body of men stepped forward and offered
themselves, of which 44 were attested. The regiment has
now contributed 321 volunteers to the army, and the
recent addition places a fourth ensigncy at the disposal
of its colonel. The three ,companies lately sent to Edin-
burgh Castle have had to return to head-quarters in Dal-
keith, the two Highland depots in the Castle now re-
quiring their whole accommodation in consequence of
their increased numbers. One company remains at Mus.
selburgh, the rest being billeted en the inhabitants of
Dalkeith

On Friday last volunteering from the Galloway Rifles
into the Line took place at Newton Stewart, when 49
men offered their services. Although the establishment
of the regiment is only 301, upwards of 100 have volun-
teered into the army within the year.

DREADFUL SHIPWRECK AND Loss OP TWENTY•NINE
LlVES.—Anothei lamentable shipwreck has occurred on
the coast of South Wales, resulting in the total loss of
a splendid vessel and the death of the captain and
twenty-eight of the crew. The ship was a fine Ameri-
can, named the Great Duke, Captain Sampson, 2,000
tons burden, with a crew of thirty-tyro men. She
was bound from New Orleans for Liverpool, laden
with cotton and staves, and during a fearful gale
from the S.S.W. she struck on the rocks under St.
Gowan's•head, a few miles to the southward of Mil-
ford Haven, and immediately went to pieces. Of
the crew only the chief mate and two seamen were
saved, the remainder, including the captain, meeting a
watery grave. The survivors met with every sym-
pathy and kindness, and from their /statement it ap-
pears that for some days they have not been able to
make an observation, the weather having been so bois-
terous. Not a vestige of the ship remains, and though
the cargo has been washed about the coast, yet, owing
to the high cliffs that line the shore, it is feared little
can be saved. She was laden with 4,500 bales of cotton,
and was valued at 30,000/. The bodies of several of
the crew have been recovered, and buried at Angle.
A private letter from Constantinople, under date the
11th February, states as follows :—" Advices from Bu-
charest are to the effect that the French Consul has ad-
dressed to his Government a final report on the state
of ithe Principalities, in which he advocates their
union under a e hereditary authority of a foreign
Prince. It is said that be points out Prince Stirbey
OI th! cilY person eligible for this high post,"

instead of the contrary order. 11 these causes all con-
curred in producing the accident, we cannot conclude
that it was solely caked by the blameful conduet of any
one in particular. After the collision the Mangerton pro.
ceeded a short distance from the Josephine Willis and lay
1 to. Her commander, notwithstanding the urgent request
of his passengers that he would proceed for safety towards
the shore, expressed a determination to remain to assist
the damaged ship. He, however, hrid reason to fear that
his own ship was in eonsilerable danger, and was com-
pelled to devote
.all his attention to her safety. Two of
the boats of the Mangerton were lowered, not without
difficulty, on account of the improper manner in which
they were stowed and secured ; and when in the water
were found wanting in plugs and tholes. One of them,
manned by two passengers of the Mangerton (very young
seamen named Newham and Anderson), proceeded to the
Josephine Willis and rescued seven of her crew and pas-
sengers. The effect of the collision on the Josephine Willis
was a breach on her starboard side, which allowed the
water to rush in and thrOw the ship on her beam ends.
Proceedings were immediately taken to lower the boats ;
one, the lifeboat, was successfully lowered. This also
wanted its plug. Another quarter boat was partially stove
in the lowering, but it was not rendered quite useless.
There seem to have been saved in these two boats 26 of
the crew and passengers. The lifeboat, with a portion of
the ship's crew, after having placed her passengers in
the Maegait>n, lay off for nearly two hours, within
hearing of the cries of 40 persons clinging to the
wreck, n about an effort being made to afford relief. The
chief officer was taken on board the Mangerton, where
he remained without making an effort to succour the
crew and passengers of his ship either by his own exer-
tions or by commands or entreaties. It is true, he was at
first benumbed from immersion, but from this ha soon
recovered. The second officer showed equal apathy and
want of feeling. A Deal iugger, commanded by the wit-
ness Pearson, rescued that remained on the
wreck. 69 perished, of whom 57, were passengers, and
including the commander, of the crew.

she was afflicted for a number of years with severe pains
in the head and stomach, dizziness, weakness in the
eyes, and the other usual disagreeable accompaniments
of a disorganised system. She tried every known reme'►l
and had the best medical advice, but derived no benefit
whatever. At last she resolved to give Holloway's Pills
a trial, and, after using them for a short time, she Was
restored to perfect health, which she enjoys uninterrept

The show of foreign stock, to -day, was very moderate.
Of Irish beasts thorn were shown 2..!0, and of Irish sheep
400 head in fair condition.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of boasts
were on the decrease, but their general quality was toler-
ably prime. All breeds were in good request, at an ad-
vance in the quotations realised on Moody last of from
2d to 4d per 8 lbs, and a good clearance was effected.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire were 1,950 Scote and short horns; from other
parts of England, 400 of various broods ; and from Scot-
land, 300 Sects.

There was n fair average supply of sheep in the market,
both as to the number and quality. Nearly all breeds
moved off steadily, at an imorovement in the currencies
paid on this day so'nnir4ht of 2d per Sibs. The best old
Downs sold at 5s per Slbs. About 9JO shorn sheep were
in the pens.
With calves wo were very scantily supplied, nevertheless
the veal trade was in a very sluggish state, and prices were
the turn in favour of buyers.
The sale for pigs was steady, at full quotations.

NICOLAIEFF.

The Moniteur du la Flotte, under the head of
"La Verite sur Nicolaieff," contains an article
from which we extract the following portion :--
"Nicolaieff' is not merely a port of construction, as ia
generally believed in Eirope, but a port for arming ves-
sels of war. In grave circumstances the Russian squa-
dron of reserve used to station there, and if that has not
taken place during the present war, the reason is that
Prince Menschikoff desired to have, from the beginning
of the war, under his orders in the port of Sebastopol all
the armed vessels which were in the Black Sea. In
order, too, that vessels of war should be able to navigate
between Nicolaieff and the sea, the Russian Board of
Admiralty has had a channel made the whole way down,
from which every rock or impediment has been care-
fully removed, and in which, during eight months of the
year, there are 23 feet of water. That depth becomes
considerably greater when the river rises. The Ruisian
fleet in the Black Sea at the commencement of the war
consisted of 113 ships of the line, amongst which only 3
were of the first class ; the others, all of the third and
fourth class, drew only '22 feet of water when fully armed.
The arming of these vessels had been effected altogether at
Nicolaieff, and they arrived at Sebastopol without the
slightest difficulty, by following the channel already
mentioned, each having her guns on board as well as her
full complement of men, and an entire supply of provi-
sions and stores. It results from what has just been
said, that ships of the line can be built and armed at
Nicolaieff, and can then, during the greatest part of the
year, proceed to sea quite ready to fight. As to vessels
of 120 guns and upwards, they can take all their guns
on board with the exception of those of the lower deck, -
and complete their armament at Sebastopol. It mei
thus be seen what advantages can be derived from Nico-
laieff. Both that place and Sebastopol are classed in
Russia among the ports of the rack Sea, just as Roche-
fort and Loiient, which are some way inland, are in the
list of the ports of France. The official name given to
Nicolaieff by the Imperial Government speaks more
strongly than anything else that can be said. Nicolaieff,
according to the literal translation of the name is, the
chief place of the Russian military marine in the Black
Sea.' The establishment of Sebastopol was only the .
chief station of the Russian fleet, and the place of as-
sembliog when any expedition was in contemplation."
