MONDAY

" NEW ORLEANS, Auu. 23.
" There has been a tremendous riot in this city,
growing out of the Cuban revolution. For the past
two or three days business, to a great extent, has been
suspended, and the affairs of Cuba have been discussed
more thoroughly. Our city was never before known
to be so much agitated. The excitement of the people
knows no bounds. Hundreds of men are pouring in
ready to take part in the patriot cause in Cuba. A
large body of Cuban Liberators, composed mostly of
western men, having become exasperated by the tone
of the Spanish paper Union, this afternoon attacked
the office, broke the windows and doors, and
rushed into the office. They threw the press, cases
of types, and furniture into the streets. The mob
totally destroyed everything belonging to the office.
The crowd outside was so dense, and the excitement
so great, that the police could not interfere to check
the riot. After the office was demolished the
Liberators marshalled their legions, and proceeded to
he cigar store (kept by a Spaniard, who has made
himself obnoxious to the patriots) at the corner of St.
Chaples and Gravier-streets, broke the doors and
windows, and destroyed all the stock and furniture,
which were very valuable. By this time the crowd
had swelled to an immense number, and the cry was
raised—' Let's pay a visit to the Spanish Consul.'
This was responded to by a tremendous shout. The
crowd then moved on to the office of the Spanish Con-
sul, and a scene of the wildest disorder ensued. The
men appeared to have run mad with excitement.
They fiercely attacked the house, threw the desks,
papers, and furniture of all kinds into the streets.
They tore down his sign, and marched in triumph
with it to the meeting in Lafayette-square. The meet-
ing in the square was one of the largest ever held in
this city. The proceedings throughout were charac-
terised by the wildest enthusiasm. The excitement of
the 21st inst. has lost none of its interest this
morning. At an early hour a body of 2,000 of the
Liberators surrounded the city prison. This out-
burst was caused by the Spanish C onsul, who,
fear-
ing that he would lose his life on the night previous,
asked the protection of the American fieg, and was
placed in the cirison as a place of safety. The
Liberators becatyme c plamorous, and demanded that the
Spanish Consul should be delivered up to them, or
they would demolish the prison. A. force of about
fifty policemen is on the ground, end eavouring to re-
s-ore peace. The cigar shops kept by
the Spaniards
in different parts of the city were nearly all destroyed
(luring last night. The most painful part of the affair
remains to be told. The Empire City brought
remains of Colonel Clendenin and Ca ptain Victor Ker,
who were so inhumanly murdered by the Spanish.
Government at Havannah, to this cit y. A deep feeling
of awe pervades the whole community. Thousands
of people endeavoured to get a siglat of the coffins
containing their dead bodies. This gave rise to the
been
sudden outbreak last night. Minute. guns have
fired since sunrise in honour of the in urdered Libera-
tors. The attack on the office of the Spanish Consul
was caused by a report (which is undoubtedly true)
that he received, by the Empire City, letters from
some of the miaiehdnsueautrendrdletled Americans
programme for
and he refused to
give them up when demanded by their friends?'

been ordered by the Government to Havannah to in-
stitute an inquiry into the circumstances connected
with the shooting of the fifty Americans, as well as
the firing at and stoppage of the American mail
steamer Falcon.
Our dates from Jamaica are to the 11th ult., but
the advices are v,,ry meagre. It was stated that
cholera had broken out at Newcastle among the
troops. In some of the districts small-pox was very
prevalent.
The arrest of a fugitire 11a at Poughkeepsie had

again created much excitement, although there was
no disturb;nce of the peace.
A tremendous fire had occurred at Concord, sup-
posed to be the work of an incendiary. Property to
the amount of 150,000 dolls. was destroyed. The safe
of the Mechanics' Bank was among the ruins, con-
taining 150,000 dolls. in bank bills, 10,000 dolls. in
specie, and 100,000 dolls. in railway bonds.
Late advices from Hayti mention that, in conse-
quence of the departure of the Emperor for the
north, with hostile intent, as was supposed, the holders
of doubloons held them at 2 dolls. 30c. The English
and French consuls had given public notice that they
would blockade every port in the island in case the
Hoy tians commenced hostilities against the Domi-
nicans. The first parcel of the new coffee crop had
been delivered, and there was no doubt of the
immensity of the yield. Coffee bad, in consequence,
fallen from 100 dolls. to 85 dolls. Hay tian currency.

COMMERCIAL NEWS.
NEW YORK, AUG, 26. —The excitemeut caused by the
expedition under General Lop( z against Cuba, although
very great throughout the country, has not yet had any
visible eff.,ct upon our money market.
The sudden check given to the export of the precious
metals last week, and the large amount of gold received
from California, have been the means of improving the
condition of finance affairs. Since the 19th the fluctua•
tions i❑ the stock market have been considerable, parti-
cularly in those of a speculative character. The sale of
Government end State stocks, however, have not been
extensive—there are none pressing on the market, and
quotations are readily realised.
There is an increased demand for sterling bills, and
bills on London at 110 to 110 i; on Paris 60 days bills,
sf. 12ic. to sf. 111 c., and short sight, sf. 7ic. to sf. 61c.;
on Thoaburgh, 361 to 364 ; on Bremen, 78/ to 78i.
Cotton—A good demand has existed for cotton during
the past week, and on some days a very active inquiry,
tb sales in one amounting to 3,500 boles, and in ano-
ther 3,000. The transactions of the week amount to
12,000 bales, about 4,000 for export, the remainder for
home use and speculation. Prices have during this
period considerably improved, and our quotations are
adjusted accordingly. The improvement is accelerated
by the lightness of the stock remaining at this port, as
well as other ports of the United States; at the same
time the fact cannot be disguised that public opinion as
to the probable extent of the coming crop is much modi-
fied, and that to this is to be attributed the increasing
confidence which sustains the movement in the staple.
The home trade are very bare of stock and buy with
much spirit, and an early supply from planters would to
them be very acceptable
Flour—At this season of the year there is generally
a wide range of prices, owing to the small supplies of
new and the desire to sell the old. The stock of Cana-
dian in bond is light, but the article dull, at 4 dollars,
and principally wanted for the British provinces.
Mixed western, 3 dollars 75 cents to 3 dollars 811 cents;
Ohio, 3 dollars 87i cents to 4 dollars; pure Genesee, 4
dollars to 4 dollars 12} cents. Southern kinds of the
old stock aro selling at 4 dollars to 4 dollars 12i cents,
and the new, 4 dollars 12i cents to 4 dollars 37 cents.
Corn meal, 2 dollars 91 cents. to 3 dollars for Jersey.
Grain—There is still a fair demand for wheat, for
both home use and export, but the larger portion of the
orders are at prices below present rates. The sales have
been 95 cents to 100 cents for Genesee. Indian corn
brings 56 cents to 56i cents for sound western mixed,
and is in light supply. Round yellow is 57 cents no-
minal.

having refused to proceed in ber in consequence of her
leaking.

MADAME CELESTE.
We regret to hear that we shall ere long lose for a
while from the English stage the accomplished di-
rectress of the Adelphi Theatre. Madame Celeste is
about shortly to pay a professional visit to the United
States, where her transcendant talents are well known
and appreciated, and where she will meet with the
hearty welcome with which a public favourite is
always greeted. Her repertoire will, if we mistake
not, be in a great part new to the United States ; the
character of Miami, for example, which she has per-
formed at the Ad:lphi Theatre alone nearly 400
nights, and which still continues to attract crowded
houses, is we believe new to our Transatlantic
brethren. They, of all men, will best appreciate the
intensely impassioned acting of Madame Celeste in
the character of the Indian Girl. If none can de-
scribe the Indian like Cooper, none can act the
Indian like Madame Celeste. •

THE "BLOOMER" COSTUME.—The economical ar-
gument is a common one with all reformers, from those in-
terested in forms of government, to others who tell of the
advantages of water drinking. The Bloomers handle it
with delight, and hope, doubtless, to produce a powerful
etlect upon husbands and fathers. A lady writing to the
Pittsburgh Advertiser, enters into an arithmetical computa-
tion :—•" There are eight millions of women in these United
States old enough to wear the new costume. At a low esti-
mate it costs each female twelve dollars a year for dresses
and skirts on an average ; now, a neat and appropriate short
dress, with suitable and substantial pants, may be made of
the same material, and save one quarter of the present ex-
pense—(we have tried it at home and know it can be done).
This will be a saving of—of—open your eyes, unstop your
ears, and hold your breath—twenty-four millions of dollars !
My stars! [" My stays !" would be a more appropriate ex-
clamation.] Such a saving would build a school-house in
every district in the United States worth two hundred
dollars, and leave four millions to buy cheap calico frocks
and shoes for all the poor little girls in the nation."— Weehly
