THE UNITED STATES.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
The packet ship New World, which sailed from
New York on the 7th inst. with two days' later ad-
vices has just arrived. In the Senate, on the 6th,
Mr. Cooper attacked the letter of Sir H. Bulwer re-
garding the duty on iron, and said that the Foreign
Minister failed in his duty when he attempted to make
suggestions in relation to the domestic policy of that
Government, and characterised his remarks as obtru-
sive and impertinent. Several other members express-
ing the same opinions, Mr. Clay rose and said he dis•
agreed with what had been said by those who had pre-
ceded him, and complimented Sir H. Bulwer in high
terms; and, after some further discussion, it was re-
ferred to the Committee on Commerce.

The cotton.market continued inactive, buyers an-
ticipating a decline on the arrival of the steamer from
Liverpool. No change in prices.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

The Thames arrived this morning. The freight on
board consists of 1,997,809 dollars, 91,597 of which
are on account of Mexican dividends.

Some slight intrigues and disturbances have taken
place in the interior of Mexico, which have been
promptly suppressed by the G-Jvernment. Jamaica
dates are to the 21st of February. The Jamaica
Dispatch states that the season has been propitious,
and the country prosperous. There has been some
severe weather in some parts, but the canes in the
favoured parishes look well, and promise an abundant
harvest.

The steamers from America and Europe continue
to flock in at Port Royal.
The gold diggers, prepared for the return of spring,
are returning to the diggings by hundreds, and every
packet brings from a million to a million and a half of
dollars.

From Demerara we have news to the 18th ult.
A special meeting of the combined Court took place
on the 7th ult., with the view ofidetermining the
objects to which the loan which was confidently ex
pected from the mother country should be devoted'
and for enacting the necessary ordinances for secur-
ing its re-payment. It was resolved that the colonial
duties on wines and spirits should be pledged to pay
the interest, 4 per cent., and that a sinking fund at
the rate of 2k per cent. should b • formed for the li-
quidation of the loan, amounting to 250,0001., in
twenty years.
The railway is getting on most prosperously.
At Cuba plenty of rain had fallen throughout the
island.

The crops of sugar and other products have been
large, and the vessels in the harbour were taking in
full cargoes of the produce of the island. Sugar was
selling at 2 dolls. per cwt.; and coffee at 15 dulls., with
a further advance in price.

' DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—Last night, shortly after
seven o'clock, a fire, attended with great loss of property and
jeopardizing the lives of not fewer than 15 persons, broke
out in the premises belonging to Mr. Mackerell, steam-baked
potato-dealer, No. 7, Vinegar-yard, nearly facing the upper
gallery entrance of Drury-lane Theatre. The premises,
which were five floors high. including the basement, were
adjoined by numerous similar erections on either side, whilst
the space between the burning property and the theatre was
not more than a few yards. It appeared that Mr. Mackerell,
having experienced a strong smell of gas, went below to
ascertain the cause, when, on entering the kitchen, he
noticed a flickering light on the ceiling, and was instantly
forced down. Having regained his feet, he ran up stairs and
gave an alarm, but fore the inmates had time to escape
the flames were running up the staircase, threatening de-
struction to every person in the house Mr. Merryweather's
escape, kept at the police-station, was immediately
taken to the spot, but during the short interval
that had elapsed Mr. Mackerell and several other
persons had, at the risk of losing their own
lives, ventured to the upper rooms and fortunately suc-
ceeded in bringing down the whole of the women and chil-
dren in safety. The flames by that period were extending
completely over the yard, and were within a few inches of
attacking the theatre. Numerous engines of the London
Brigade, Messrs. Combe and Delatield (the brewers), the
West of England Insurance Company, and those of St. Cle-
ment's and St. Mary-le-Strand), attended with all prompti-
tude, but notwithstanding a plentiful supply of water was
obtained the flames continued to spread, and the whole range
of premises in which they commenced were burnt out, and
those adjoining severely damaged, before the fire
was extinguished. Another fire took place yester-
day morning at an early hour in the premises
of Mr. Ward, a fruiterer, 19, Londo:.-terrace, Hack-
ney-road. So fiercely did the flames spread that the
several residents narrowly escaped being suffocated. The en-
gines of the London Brigade, parish, and West of England
Company succeeded in subduing the tire, but not before Mr.
Ward's premises, together with the stock in trade, furniture,
wearing apparel, and other effects were destroyed. The
total loss is considerable. but fortunately the sufferer was
insured in the Phcenix Fire-office.

A PLANTATION ON FlItE.—A very fine piece of
plantation, extending over 10 or 13 acres, belonging to the
Duke of Sutherland, was consumed by fire on the evening of
the 19th instant. The place where this conflagration took
place lies north of Drummuie, at the upper base of the hill of
Benvraggie. It t riginated in the burning of whine on the
immediately adjoining farm of Culmailie, and a smart breeze
of wind from a westerly direction had accelerated the pro-
gress of the flames from the farm to the forest. The burning
of the plantation commenced about six o'clock, and conti-
nued during the night ; a little after sunset the blaze was
' terrific, the whole country side was illuminated, and from
the elevated position of the scene it might be viewed fr,im
Ross, Moray, Banff, and part of Aberdeenshire. Owing to a
partial abatement of the wind, the commendable activity and
tact displayed by parties on the spot, the progress of the de-
vouring element was at length arrested at a vacant space in
the plantation.— Edinburgh Courant.
DEATH OF COLONEL CAMPBELL —On Saturday,
this cavalry officer, who had very recently arrived in Eng-
land from India, died after a short illness. The late Colonel
Campbell entered the army as a cornet in the year 1806.
At the memorable battle of Sobraon, on the 10th of Fe-
bruary, 1846, he commanded the 2d cavalry brigade. In
1846 he received the hrevet rank of colonel.
MERCHANT SEAMEN'S CORPORATION.--4. general
court of the above body took place yesterday at the dices
Birchin-lane. Mr. G. Lindsay was in the chair. A state-
ment of the income and expenditure for the year 1849 was
submitted. It showed that the latter had been
24,125/. I4s, 9d., and left a balance of 2,813/. 15s. /od. Thu
draft of the Bill now before Parliament for regulating the
Merchant Seamen's Fund was laid before the meeting. The
claims for relief were then considered, and pensions and tern •
porary assistance granted to a number of applicants. It
appeared that since December last 282 applicants—viz.,
disabled seamen and widows of seamen, had received relief.
A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the business of the
meeting.

A correspondent informs us that the Earl of
Stradbroke, at his late audit, reduced his rents ten per cent.
SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY.—The hoard of di-
rectors of this company, who were outvoted at the meeting
in January last, have resigned their seats, with the excep-
tion of the two members who represent the Caledonian Com-
pany at the board, and the vacancies have been filled up by
the election of gentlemen from a list submitted by the Mar-
quis of Breadalbane.

WATERFORD AND LIMERICK RAILWAY.—Sir W.
Clay reported from the Select Committee on this Bill, that the
objects are to enable the company to rain new shares in lieu

of certain forfeited shares, and to extend the time limited by
their existing Act for the purchase of land, arid to give them
effectual powers for that purpose, in accordance with those
contained in "An Act to authorize the advance of money
out of the Consolidated Fund to the Midland Great Western
Railway of Ireland Company." The Committee had exa-
mined :he allegations of the Bill, and found the same to be
true, and made several amendments.
NAVIGATION OF THE ITUALTIER.—The Gazette of
last night contains a proclamation from the Admiralty,
stating that " Whereas we, as Commissioners for executing
the office of Lord High Admiral of the United Kingdom,
have found it necessary, for the protection of the harloour or
haven of the Humber, and of the shores and banks thereof,
to prohibit the taking of any ballast or shingle from the
shore or banks hereinafter specified; and we do, therefore,
order, that no person or persons shall take any ballast or
shingle from the shore or banks, or any portion of the shore
or banks, at Spurn Point, front the Low Light-house south-
ward to the extreme of the point at low water, and north-
ward two and a half statute miles on both sides of the Spurn
Point."

SUICIDE.—About seven o'clock yesterday morning
an old man, named Evans, who was lodging at Mr. Whit-
more's, a greengrocer and fruiterer, in Charles-street, West-
minster, committed suicide by shooting himself through the
heart with a small pocket pistol. The deceased, who was a
carpenter by trade, had been in a very desponding state of
mind for some time past, in consequence of his being unable
to obtain any employment.
DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—THE ONLY SON OF
BARON LANGEN KILLED.-0a Tuesday evening last, an ac-
cident occurred near to the village of Hungarton, which was
attended with a fatal result. On the evening in question,
the Baron Langan, who has for some time past occupied time
Hall at Ratcliffe, and is, we believe, attached to the Pru sian
embassy in this country, was taking a drive with his family
in the neighbourhood of Hungarton. The party consisted
of the Baron, his Lady, and her Ladyship's fa:her, in an open
carriage. A groom was in attendance on horseback, and
with him, rode on his pony, a fine little boy, nine years old,
the Baron's only child. Near the entrance to Hungarton,
and on the road from Quenby, the pony took fright at a man
on horseback, which passed the party rapidly, and started
off suddenly at full speed. The child soon lost his seat, and,
falling to the ground with great force, was dragged in the
stirrup for some distance, his head striking with violence
against the hard road; and the groom believes that the poor
little fellow was also struck more than once by the hind feet
of the animal. On being taken up, the only signs of life were
occasional breathing, and a very feeble action of the heart.
Medical assistance was immediately sent for, and attended
wi h all possible expedition, but without avail, as the little
sufferer ceased to breathe within half an hour after the oc-
currence of the accident. " There were two separate fractures
of the skull, either of which, taken singly, must have been
inevitably mortal.—Leicester Journal.
,NUNS IN CAMBRIDGE.—After a space of more than
300 years, nuns are again stationed in the University town
of Cambridge. On Monday, the 11th instant, the schools of
the Roman Catholic Mission were re-opened under the su-
perintendence of two nuns of the order of the Infant Jesus,
from tile convent of Northampton. On the Wednesday fol-
lowing, mass was celebrated by the Rev. Thomas Quinlivan,
the pastor, for the special invocation of the Holy Ghost on
the labours of the sisters, after which the children went in
procession to the schools.—Cambridge Chronic'e.
WHALE FOOTS.—Some importations have recently
taken place at the port of Liverpool of an article called whale
foots from the United States of America. The article is
considered to come under the general term of grease, and
therefore admissible under that head duty free.
THE MACKEREL FISHERY.—On Monday many of
the boats came in with their nets gone, they being carried
away by the heavy "strikes." of the fish. The George and li
William (Swain), of Hastings, out of 101 nets only saved
19; the Ellen Nancy lost 72 out of 127; the Favourite (W.
Browne), of Eastbourne, lost all, 90 in number; as did the
Fame (J. Hide), but they were picked up and brought in by
a Plymouth mackerel boat, the Mary Ann. To make up for
these losses, however, the catches of fish by those whose nets
held were most extraordinary. The British Queen G.
Hutchins), of Hastings, brought in 31,150 ; the Friends
(J. Swain), of Eastbourne, ,had 24,000; and several other
boats brought in from 5,000 to 15.000. Prices have ranged
about as follow: —Sunday, from 15s. to 7s. 6d. per six score ;
Monday and Tuesday, 10s. ; Wednesday, 9s. to 10s. 61. ;
Thursday, 9s. to 103. Yesterday no fish was brought in
Some wonderment may be felt at the variation in the price
of the mackerel, as fur example that on Sunday, from 15s.
to 7s. 6d. This, however, is easily explained. If the fish
can be brought in and packed in time even for the last rail-
way train to London, the prices keep up, and is not materi-
ally affected, though the supply be ever so large. But the
moment the whistle denoting the departure of the mail-
train has sounded, mackerel becomes comparatively a drug
in the market, and its value ranges accordingly, fbr it would
be probably unfit to send to Billingsgate the next day.—
Plymouth Times.
Mr. A'Beckett, the magistrate of the Southwark
Police-court, yesterday directed that S. E. Croft, late junior
clerk in the service of Messrs. Marten, woollen merchants of
Bradford, and Joseph Croft, his father, who resides in Lon-
don, should be sent before the Bradford magistrates for exa-
mination, the son on a charge of stealing 2641., the property
of his masters, and the father on a charge of receiving Si. of
the money, knowing it to have been stolen.
John Carrington, who murdered his father and
mother about a fortnight since, at Little Eversden, in Cam-
bridgeshire, by dashing their brains out with a spade, and
who had been long known as a mischievous idiot, has been
acquitted on the ground of insanity.
At Ruthin, on Monday. Mr. Justice Cresswell
sentenced George Jones and Mary Jones to seven years'
transportation for a highway robbery, committed on John
Jon a. The female prisoner met the prosecutor in the streets
of Llangollen, and inveigled him into a bye place, where the
male prisoner and another man rushed upon him, and while
the one pinioned his arms the others rifled his pockets.
TESTIMONIAL TO A MAGISTRATE.—A meeting was
held at the Shire-hell, Gloucester, on Tuesday, which was
attended by Earl Fitzhardinge (the lord-lieutenant), Lord
Ellenborough, and several other ;magistrates, for the pur-
pose of opening a subscription to present Mr. Purnell, the
county chairman, with a public testimonial for his conduct
in relation to private lunatic asylums, for which a vote of
thanks was passed to him at the last quarter sessions. A
committee was chosen for carrying out this object and re-
ceiving subscriptions. This testimonial has been most de-
servedly earned by Mr. Purnell, for his unwearied exertions
to ameliorate the treatment and condition of private lunatic
patients, who are too frequently totally neglected.— Chelten-
ham Journal.

DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.—At Curra4hashoge, near
Abbeyfeale, on the night of Wednesday last, a house belong-
ing to Mr. Richard Collins, was maliciously set on fire, and
before any assistance could be procured, the house, together
with all it contained, including seven valuable cows, an ex-
cellent horse worth ISI., a large number of dairy vessels, a
quantity of timber, deals, and other property, were totally
consumed. On the following morning, a person named
Roche, who lives in Abbeyfeale, came forward to give in-
formation against his own father and brother, who were im-
mediately arrested and committed for trial as the perpe-
trators of the wicked and unprovoked outrage.—Limerick
Examiner.

John Rowe was yesterday committed for trial,
from the Guildhall, charged with having embezzled upwards
of 1001., the property of his employers, Messrs. Brett and Co.,
woollen drapers, Wood-street.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 25.—The Wilhelm galliot
barque, Captain F. N. Flint, of and for Amsterdam, was off
this port yesterday, and landed here Mr. B. C. Van Darn
Ende, passenger for London. The barque is laden with sugar,
from Surinam, left the 3d of February, and has been twenty
days in the chops of the Channel, contending in unusually
cold weather against contrary winds. At Surinam there
were from 15 to 20 Dutch ships, and say five American.
The English ship Lacoresse left for London two weeks before
the barque's departure. About the 20th of March the Wil•
helm spoke at the mouth of the Channel the packet-brig
Nickerie. Captain Holker, of and from Nickerie, for Amster-
dam. The emigrant-ship Boyne, of London, Captain
Sabiston, sailed this afternoon for the Australian colonies.
She has in all 142 passengers, viz., 9 cabin, and 133 inter-
mediate. Of this number 22 were engaged at Plymouth.
Wind N. by W.; cold with snow.
POISINING AT CASTLE CAMPS.—The trial of Elias
Lucas and Mary Reeder, charged with administering arsenic
to Susan Lucas, the wife of the male and the sister of the
female prisoner, took place at Cambridge on Monday. It
appeared that Mary Reeder lived with Lucas and his wife,
and that the former had been frequently heard to declare
that he wished his wife was dead, in order that he might
marry her sister. The arsenic was traced to the possession
of the male prisoner, and it was proved that it was adminis-
tered to the unfortunate woman (who survived its adminis-
tration only a few hours) in a bread mess prepared either by
the female prisoner or by the deceased. The defenc-t was
that the deceased had poisoned herself. The jury returned
a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners, and Mr. Justice
Wightman sentenced them to death, without hope of mercy.
The male convict is 24 and the female only 20 years of age.
THE WFATHER. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. - Last
night a heavy fall of snow took place, covering the ground
to the depth of some inches.

SPURIOUS FIVE FRANC PIECES.—The Moniteur
states, that the Committee of the Mint of France has re-
ceived from M. Monteaux, jun., several spurious five-franc
pieces, similar to those to which public attention was drawn
by M. Monteaux, sen., money-changer in the Palais Royal.
These false coins, bearing the date of 1e47, and the mark
" A," are made of an alloy of silver and copper in the propor-
tion of 640-thousandths of silver. Their weight is the same
as that of genuine sf. pieces, and their intrir sic value is
3f. 53c. Compared with the genuine coins they are of a dul-
ler white; their diameter is a little greater; the engraving
of the effigy is very soft and less salient; the eye, the mouth,
and the nose have neither the same form nor the same cha-
racter; the letters which encircle the head are generally
more meagre, are placed at uneven distances, and do not
form a regular circle ; the name of " Dotnard," placed be-
neath the neck, inclines much less to the right; the figures
and letters forming the inscription, " 5 francs, 1847," are less
salient and less sharply struck off; there is evidently a larger
space between the beading and the wreath of the reverse.
With respect to the edge, the letters of the spurious coin are
less salient, less regular in shape, and the distance between
the words is not the same. These differences between the
true and the false coin will easily allow the latter to be de-
tected.

BUCKINGHAMEIIIRE RAILWAY.-Mr. Bernal re-
ported from the Committee on this Bill that the object is to
finable an existing railway company to make a deviation of
their line of railway by means of capital which they are al-
ready authorised to raise. The steepest gradient is lin 203,
and the smallest radius of a curve 40 chains. The length of
the proposed deviation is 554 miles. The deviation is to
cross one turnpike road and four highways on the level; but
the Railway Commissioners may require a bridge to be
erected in lieu of level crossing, if necessary fur the public
safety. The land required will be 57 acres. Mr. R. 13.
Dockray was the engineer examined hi support of the Bill,
and no engineer was examined in oppositi n to it. They
had examined the allegations of the Bill, and found the same
to be true, and had gone through the Bill, and made several
amendments.

A glorious action triumphantly won at Westminster,
and a gtirious victory achieved at Waterloo, look wonderfully
fine until the bill is sent in and the costs are paid. —.Eiiza
C'ook's Journal.

• TESTIMONIAL TO BRITISH SEAMEN.—Mr. May,
the consul-general of the Netherlands, has made a represen-
tation to the Lords of the Treasury, requesting the de►ivery
duty free of a package forwarded to him from the Govern-
ment at the Hague, containing a silver cup and two snuff-
boxes, intended as presents to Captain Moir and part of the
crew of the English vessel Minerva, for services rendered to
the crew of the Dutch ship Gertruda, which was lost, in
August last, off the Cape of Good Hope.
THE WEATHER.—During the last week we have
had a second edition of almost the severest part of the late
winter. The frosts have been very sharp, and being accom-
panied with a biting wind, the cold has been felt keenly. The
early vegetation and forward fruit trees must have been much
injured,--211aidstonc Journal.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 10 THUF,'E.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
5,000 bales, of which 300 American were taken oa spe-
culation, and 500 for exports. The market closed
heavily.—The market for Railway Shares closed with a
gloomy appearance, and generally at lower quotations.
The Grain Market is firms to-day in hlark•lane for
Wheat, bct rather dull for Oats, which are in fuller
supply.
tee Continental mails furnish the quotations from the
different stock markets, and in some cases there is an
improvement. At Amsterdam, on Monday, the ten-
dency of Durch Stock was more favourable, and the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents closed at 55 7-16. Peruvian
Active Bonds were 71k. Spanish, Portuguese, and
Brazil were in request. The Vienna prices on the 23d
inst., were 294 for Austrian Metallics, with the ex-
change on Frankfort at 115.
The Thames steamer, with the West Indian and
Mexican mails, has arrived at Southampton, but up to
the pre(ept time we have only a summary of the
intelligence which she brings. The weather
in Jamaica was favourable, and the canes looked
well. A great many American vessels were
in the harbour of Port Royal, and there was a prospect
of an active trade with the United States under the
operation of the amended navigation-laws. Demerara,
in expectation of a loan from England, was devising
the means of meeting the interest, and the colonial
duties on wines and spirits were to be hypothecated,
arrangements being likewise made for a sinking fund.
The Cuba advices are encouraging.
The feeling in the City appears to be somewhat more
cheerful to-day, and there is a hope that atter the holi-
days business will become a little brisker. At present
we can record no actual change. We simply notice a
little more firmness.
The Stock Market is a little firmer this morning, but
with an extreme paucity of business. Consols have
realised 91i for Transfer, and are nearer 95i for Ac-
count. The rally of 1 per cent. in the Freuch funds
has given a somewhat better tone. _Exchequer-bills
have been marked 625. to 655., and India Bonds are
about 86s. to 88a. premium. Bank Stock for account has
been done as high as 210. South Sea New Annuities
have been sold at 95k.
The Foreign Securities have been fluouating accord-
ing to the progress of the settlement, and Mexican have
recovered to 29k in consequence of the remittance of
91,000 dollars on board the Thames. A party in the
house, who was of good standing, has been
iu difficulties, and affords another instance of
the necessity of some measure for repressing
speculation by brokers. This individul was a
large dealer in Mexican on his own account, and al-
though his differences have bet n made good, it is ham-
possible that the Committee can suffer the steady going
,eerebers of the house to be placed in such
jeopardy when they deal with parties whom
they suppose to be acting for principals, but who
are, in reality, dealing for themselves. Clients also are
injured by such a course, and the jobber is placed in a
most disadvantageous position. Peruvian Active Stuck
has been 724, and the Deferred 274 to 28. Equador
Bonds are 3k. Brazilian Old Stock has realised 89.
Danish Scrip has been firm at 3 premium, and Russian
has been done at 11 premium. Spanish Five per Cent%
have been flat at 164, and Portuguese Four per Cents.
at 314 to 32. Dutch Four per Cents. have bee❑ 864.
Railway Shares have been lower, and with sales in
some lines rather pressed. The disheartening report
upon the Caledonian Company is " telling" seriously
upon public confidence, though it should hardly be said
to bear upon railways, the affairs of which have already
been thoroughly investigated. Shareholders, unquestion-
ably, have been to blame in most cases, but in none more
than the Caledonian, where they have blindly main-
tained in office a reckless or inc mpetent set of men,
who have by their guarantees and contracts reduced
he company to a condition of absolute bankruptcy.
