Town-hall, 2nd January, 1854.

CHRISTMAS has ever been rendered dear to
the lovers of friendship and hospitality from the many
charming socialities connected with it. The exuberance of
the feelings, amid scenes of gaiety, induces the fair and
youthful to shine to advantage under the gaze of many friends,
and therefore to devote especial attention to the duties of the
Toilet. It is at this particular season that the auxiliaries of
health and beauty ROWLAND'S PERSONAL REQUISITES
are more than usually essential for preserving the Hair in all
its decorative charm ; the Skin and Complexion transparent
and blooming ; and the Teeth in their pearl-like lustre. The
patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and the high appre-
ciation by rank and fashion, with the well-known infallible
efficacy of these articles, give them a celebrity unparalleled,
and render them a peculiarly Elegant and Seasonable Present.
A few words on their merits may appropriately follow.
ROWLAND'S M ACASSAR OIL is a delightfully fragrant
and transparent preparation for the Hair ; and as an in-
vigorator and beautifier beyond all precedent. In dressing
the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering it so admira-
bly soft that it will lie in any direction, producing beautifully
flowing curls, and, by the transcendent lustre it imparts,
rendering the head-dress truly enchanting. Price 3s. 6d. ;
Is. ; family bottles (equal to four small), 108. 6d. ; and double
that size, 21s.
ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, for the Skin and Complexion,
is unequalled for its rare and inestimable qualities. The
radiant bloom it imparts to the cheek; the softness and
delicacy which it induces of the Hands and Arms; its capa-
bility of soothing irritations, and removing Cutaneous de-
fects, discolorations, and all unsightly appearances, resider it
indispensable to every toilet. During the frost and bleak
winds of winter, and in cases of chilblains or chapped skin,
its virtues have long and extensively been acknowledged.—
Price 4s. 6d. and Bs. 6d. per bottle.
ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, prepared
from Oriental Herbs with unusual care, transmitted to this
country at great expense,. this unique compound will be
found of inestimable value in preserving and beautifying the
Teeth, strengthening the Gums, and in giving sweetness and
perfume to the breath.—Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Beware of spurious imitations I The only Genuine of each
bears the name of " Rowlands'" preceding that of the article
on the wrapper or label.—Sold by A. Rows..km) and SoNs,
20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Chemists and Perfumers.

DO YOU SUFFER TOOTHACHE ? If so,
use BRANDE'S ENAMEL for filling Decaying Teeth,
and rendering them sound and painless; price Is. per packet;
post free, thirteen postage stamps; containing enough for
several teeth. The only substance approved by the medical
faculty, as being unattended with pain or danger, and the
good effects of which are permanent.

CAUTION.—The great success of this ',reparation has in-
duced numerous unskilful persons to produce spurious imi-
tations, and to copy BRANDE'S ENAMEL Advertisements.
It is needful, therefore, to guard against such impositions, by
seeing that the signature of the Original Manufacturer,
JOHN WILLIS, is on the outside of every packet, without
which none is genuine. _

to the extraordinary efficacy of Brande's Enamel.

TUESDAY MORNING, JAN. 24, 1854.

A SPEECH from the Throne, whether on the
opening or closing of a session, is usually so much
a document of course, containing little more than
set phrases of established usage, that it is merely
an amiable delusion to profess to feel any anxiety
for its perusal. This will not, however, be the case
next week, when the speech will be looked for with
more than ordinary interest. It is not that the
public will be curious to learn whether Lord JOHN
RUSSELL has induced his colleagues to agree to his
pet project, or whether the visitation of the cho-
lera and sanitary improvements have received their
due share of ministerial attentita ; but all will be
on the tip-toe of expectation to read the paraphrase
of the well-worn sentence, that Her MAJESTY
continues to receive from Foreign Powers the
most flattering assurances of amity and good will.
Such an assertion would be an enormous draught
on popular credulity, and it will require consum-
mate ingenuity to allude to the subject without
showing that our Foreign policy is in a far worse
condition than it was left by the Earl of DERBY'S
Cabinet. Turkey is suspicious of our professions
of friendship ; Russia is all but in open war with
us ; Austria would betray us to ruin if she dared ;
with France we are but on hollow terms ; the
Northern Powers hold aloof, as if afraid to trust
us ; while in China we have not yet resolved whe-
ther to be friendly with the Imperialists or the
rebels. A year ago we were at peace with almost
all the world, and now it would be difficult to turn
in any direction to find real cordiality, except it
may be the little kingdom of Belgium. It will
need all the ability of Lord PALMERSTON, who was
induced to remain in office for the purpose, and all
the boasted tact of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to recon-
cile the truth with anything like a plausible state-
ment.

So much for Foreign affairs, and those at home
present scarcely less difficulty, though the depart-
ment of the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER
may discoursa with much seeming satisfaction on
the surplus revenue of the year. The paragraph
has almost become stereotyped, to congratulate
the country on the great success of the present
system of Commercial Policy : but the phrases
must be materially altered to suit the altered cir-
cumstances. The gold discoveries, it is true, have
stimulated exports ; but " the comforts of my peo-
ple" will hardly be implied by allusions to thousands
in Lancashire out on strike for months, bread riots
in the west of England, a dread of similar demon-
strations in Ireland, and dear food everywhere.
These will be no proofs of plenty or content, and
yet such were to be the results of this much be.
praised policy. Nor can the. Ministers allude to
any settled purpose of policy to form the business
of legislation for the session, for any such promises
must be made with the conviction of their own
speedy dismissal from office. The QUEEN'S
Speech must, therefore, be a document more curi-
ous than valuable, and will be looked for with
more anxiety than any similar document since the
memorable session of 1846, when the late Sir
ROBERT PEEL openly proclaimed his own treachery,
and precipitated his own downfal.

mouth.

Tim great importance which seems to have at,
tached to the quarrel still pending between Russia
and Turkey has arisen, in a great measure, from
the extraordinary and exaggerated opinions which
appear to have been entertained of the power and
resources of the first-mentioned empire. The
public mind has confounded size with strength.
We look on the map of Europe, and finding Rus-
sia larger than all the rest, while her Asiatic ter-
ritory is larger still, are apt to imagine that her
power is in proportion to her magnitude, forgetting
all this while that England is almost the smallest
state—indeed, a mere speck in the western corner,
and that she maintained a contest against a world
in arms, preserved her own territory in peace, and
came out victorious from the conflict, triumphing
over all opponents, both by land and sea. We
read of the vast levies made by the AUTOCRAT of
all the Russias, of his boundless wealth, and of his
despotic authority over millions of the human race,
without considering that Britons are freemen, while
the Cz.tn commands only slaves,whose numbers may
be great on the muster-roll;but whose powers in the
field are little more than sufficient to swell the list
of the killed and wounded, even when opposed by
infidel Turks, who know comparatively little of the
strategy of modern warfare, and who have none of
the stamina and genuine pluck of British troops.
Before we magnify Russia into a power which
England has any reason to dread, let us look at
her antecedents, and we shall search in vain for
any acts of military prowess which should give us
the slightest concern as to the issue, supposing
circumstances should compel us to resort to the
last appeal—the dread arbitrement of war—in
order to repair the mischiefs caused by Ministerial
vacillation. It is true that the Russian forces
overwhelmed the little kingdom of Poland, but it
was by vast superiority of numbers over a people
whom bad government had reduced to the condi-
tion of slaves, and in a territory immediately ad-
joining. Russia may claim the credit of giving
the first effectual blow to the domination of
Na.roLEoN BONAPARTE, but the French general
was vanquished by the frost, and would have been
unsuccessful in his mad design had Russia not
moved a finger. By the assistance of Russian
forces the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA was enabled to
reduce his rebellious subjects in Hungary to obe-
dience, but the victory was half achieved before,
and the foe had neither physical nor moral force
to oppose. But what shall we say of the little
band of freemen in the mountains of Circassia,
who, for many years, have successfully bid defiance
to all the power of this mighty AUTOCRAT, whose
name seems used as a bugbear to frighten the
members of the Peace Society. There is no dis-
puting the vastness of the dominions of the EM-
PEROR NICHOLAS, his command of wealth, and his
Pb*olutc cixtzoul oti er his Aubjectp, but then arc

only elements of strength to protect his own ter-
ritory, which is impregnable in its sterility and
wildness. He has never shown himself powerful
far beyond his own frontier, except in the arts of
diplomacy, for the simple reason, that the people
whom he governs, though strong in the defence of
their own wilderness, possess none of the qualities
—the bold daring, the chivalrous courage, and the
persevering endurance—which constitute an effi-
cient military power. Great Britain, on the con-
trary, has arms long and strong, which have not
only preserved her in peace, but carried the terror
of her military prowess to the remotest corners of
the globe. She has subdued a mighty empire in
India, wrested Canada from France, destroyed the
fleets of France and Spain, humbled the Chinese,
who outnumber all Europe and America, and
claiming the proud title of mistress of the ocean,
has vindicated her right to it against all oppo-
nents. Secure in the majesty of her might and
the justice of her righteous cause, she can afford
to be magnanimous, and even to sacrifice some-
thing for the sake of peace, because her honour,
her courage, and her power are unquestioned and
unquestionable. But should the EMPEROR of
Russ's, in vain reliance upon his hordes of serfs,
venture to dare England to the combat, he may
find that his vaulting ambition has o'erleaped
itself, and that his project to convert the Black
Sea into a Russian lake is as unattainable as was
the design of NAPOLEON to similarly appropriate
the Mediterranean. He is not, however, destitute
of common sense, and it is, therefore, to be hoped
that, when he is fully convinced of the English

-overnment being in earnest, he will see the pro-
priety of making that concession peacefully which,
otherwise, will be wrung from, him at the cannon's

In thus counselling the exhibition of a deter-
mined front to what may be called Russian aggres-
sion against the territorial arrangements of Europe,
we by no means subscribe to the doctrine that
Turkey has, on her own account, any special claims
to the good offices of England. It is a blot upon
Christian Europe that a Mahometan Government
should hold despotic authority over a population of
whom the majority are nominally Christians, and
who are kept in a state of virtual slavery. Such
things ought not to be ; and, therefore, if war be
the only alternative, it can only be justified upon
the simple ground of restraining Russia within
her own frontier, and preventing that extension of
territory towards the South and East, which may
ultimately render her preponderance too great for
the safety of other States. The question at issue
is the preservation of the balance of power, which
is menaced by the occupation of the Danubian pro-
vinces ; and though this may be viewed with con-
tempt by the politicians of the Manchester school,
who cannot comprehend it, the wisest statesmen
have agreed as to its necessity; and the experience
of history has proved its value.

THE Freemen of Liverpool need be under no
apprehension as to the security of their electoral
privileges, notwithstanding the menace of the Radi-
cals, and the determined manner in which, by
placards and other means, the unwary are solicited
for signatures to the petition against them. Lord
JOHN RUSSELL has a pledge, unredeemed, to bring
in a new Reform Bill ; 'and so, in despair of any

other means of villifying their fellow-townsmen
who enjoy their freedom by birth or servitude, the
Radicals of Liverpool seek to get their wild
crotchet engrafted upon the Ministerial measure.

The motives which have dictated this petition, and
the act itself, emanate from the lowest pitch of

political turpitude, and can only be excused, or its
vileness palliated, by attributing the movement
and support of it to ignorance. The Radicals of
Liverpool have placed themselves on the horns of
a dilemma, and they must abide the consequences.
Twice triumphantly defeated in the open contest of
our elections, they complained of bribery, which,
they knew, was never practiced, and prayed for
those to be unseated whom they knew to be fairly
elected. Foiled in this, they would fain disfranchise
those whose votes showed their worthiness to en-
joy the privilege, but the Legislature will not
listen to the complaint ; and now, with a long
tirade of injurious falsehoods, they ask that all
freemen may be disfranchised, in order that those
of Liverpool may be included in a holocaust of
electoral rights to be offered to the Moloch of Radi-
cal spite. It was hardly decent—certainly not
prudent—in these time-serving politicians to make
such a display of their real motives, and at a time,
too, when their friends in office are on the eve of
an ignominous discomfiture. It was possible that
a few individuals, reasoning from their own purity
of intentions, believed that Radicals, though mis-
taken, were, at least, honest in their designs.; but
the Liverpool petition must dispel all such illu-
sions, and render it necessary that those who
are still honest should publish to the world that
their • signatures are not attached to the self-con-
victing document. Radicals, through all their
career, from the Corresponding Society of 1794,
who wished to fraternise with ROBESPIERRE and
the demons of the French Revolution, down to
those of our own day, whatever party name they
may have assumed, have always professed to agi-
tate for an extension of the franchise. The avowed
object has been the same, whether they have been
content with the compromise of a ten-pound house-
hold suffrage by the Reform Bill, in 1832, the
demand for Universal Suffrage by the Chartist
Convention, in 1839, the subsequent modified
claims fora household suffrage without limit, or
the five-pound qualification which Lord JOHN
RUSSELL proposed in 1852. It was never a ques-
tion whether the results of the extension would
prove a gain to this or that party ; the demand
was simply for an electoral appeal to a greater
number of the people, as the only means of se-
curing a full, free, and fair representation in
the Commons House of Parliament. Yet, now,
in spite of all their professions, in the teeth
of all their previous statements, in unblushing
disregard of every sentiment of honour and honesty,
these time-serving, truckling politicians petition
Parliament to disfranchise a large portion of the
constituency of Liverpool, for the simple reason
that these men, whose title is far more ancient and
better earned than the ten-pounders, have the in-
telligence to prefer two Conservative representa-
tives to a political trimmer like Mr. CARDWELL, or
a rabid Radical like Sir ERSKINE PBRRY. This
is the whole gravamen of the charge against the
Liverpool Freemen, for it is worse than absurd to
pretend that there is a syllable of truth in the

wholesale accusations about bribing and treating.
If such a charge were true that the Freemen were
accessible to such inducements, it would be the
strongest reason for the Radicals wishing to retain
them on the register. Money is the only influence
by which a Radical can hope to rise to distinction,
for he has no other recommendation, and that such
influence is unsparingly used has Veen abundantly
proved at several Municipal Elections, or certain
individuals we could name would not be now in the
Town Council. It is because the Freemen are proof
against such baseness, that their franchise is
attempted to be assailed, and this was demonstrated
in the most convincing manner by the investiga-
tionw of thehieht Hookoupsle of Commons.

THERB has, perhaps, been no event in the history of
the human race of more importance, not only in its
immediate but its probable ultimate effects, than the
enormous amount of emigration which has taken place
within the last few years. The first impetus was given
by the potato disease in Ireland, which was the means of
sending forth the Celtic race by hundreds of thousands to
people the backwoods of America, and make room for the
Anglo-Saxon race to spread in the sister island. The dis-
covery of gold in California gave a new direction to the
stream of emigration, and this, followed by a similar
discovery in our Australian colonies, sent thousands more
to the antipodes to found a new empire of that indomitable
race, which seems destined to spread civilisation and
Christianity over the globe. In these vast movements of
the human family, the primary causes of the direction
which they take appear pretty palpable. The poorer
inhabitants of Ireland are attracted to the United States
by the demand for labour, and the cheapness of the
passage thither, and the same reasons have operated with
the vast majority of our poorer population both from
England and Scotland. Those, however, whose means
are greater, have been attracted to Australia, by a thirst
for gold, a desire which animates the majority of those
who stay as well as those who leave. Such has been
mainly the direction of emigration as it has hitherto pro-
ceeded, but it would be as well to consider, even at this
time, if the choice has been rightly made, and whether
those who still contemplate leaving the land of their birth,
in order to make the barren wilderness to blosom as the
rose might not choose more wisely. It is true that Australia
offers inducements not easily foregone, but there is the
obstacle, to many insuperable, of a long sea voyage ; a
difficulty, however, which has been in a great measure
overcome by the lines of the magnificent ships which now
traverse the ocean between Liverpool and Melbourne with
almost postal regularity. Emigration to the United States
has not this objection, for the voyage is quickly and
cheaply performed, but it has that, which should be a stil
stronger one to an Englishman, of depriving him of thel
protection of the British Government, and the true
freedom of living under British laws.

We have not, however, far to go, in order to select a
place of settlement to which neither objection will apply.
The vast possessions of Great Britain in North America
Offer a field for emigration, to which those who are really
desirous to become proprietors of the soil, and to found a
family, should turn their attention. In Canada they will
find ample space and verge enough, with every quality in
soil, climate, and means of improvement, which an earnest
and industrious settler can reasonably desire. Canada is
the nearest of all our colonies. A comparatively short and
cheap voyage places it within the reach of the largest
number of individuals, with limited means, desirous of
improving their condition and prospects by emigration.
The climate is healthy, the soil fertile, and throughout its
entire extent, from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the head
of Lake Superior, it is watered by lakes, rivers, and
streams, affording unsurpassed means of internal commu-
nication. Land is to be had at such prices and easy modes
of payment, that no able-bodied and industrious man may
be long without being the possessor of his own farm.
Taxes are light, and furniture, clothing, and other neces-
saries are to be had in abundance and variety, while the
roads are good, and every facility afforded for carrying on
trade. Such is the description given of it by Mr. J. B.
Bsowx, whose long residence in the colony rendered him
a competent authority, and whose work on the subject,
published by Messrs. Macs, of Edinburgh, is well de-
serving of attention. The entire surface of the territory
of Canada has been estimated to consist of 196,000,000
acres, or between two and three times the size of Great
Britain and Ireland, and yet the population of this vast
space was, in 1848, little more than a million and a half,
so that there is ample room for any number.
Perhaps the most important step which has been taken
towards extending the communication between this country
and Canada was the establishment of the Canadian Steam
Navigation Company. It will be remembered that the
application of this company to the Board of Trade for a
charter of incorporation, gave rise to an animated contest
on the subject of limited liability, but the difficulty was
overcome by an act which was obtained from the provin-
cial legislature. This company entered into a contract
for the conveyance of the mails, and commenced opera-
tions in the spring of last year, by despatching the

Genova steamer from Liverpool to Montreal. So impor-
tant was the event deemed in the colony, that it was
celebrated by a public dinner, given by the Mayor, magis-
trates,•and citizens of Montreal, on the 13th of May.
The Lady Eglinton was next placed on the station, and
performed the voyage in the unprecedented short space of
eleven days ; the Sarah Sands was then added to the
line, and, last week, that fine iron steam-ship the Charity,
which had been found too large for the African trade, was
despatched on the voyage to Portland, which forms the
station during the winter months, when the river St.
Lawrence is not navigable. The Company's new steam-
ship Ottawa has her machinery nearly all on board, and
will be on the station within a month ; and the Cleopatra is
alsO destined forthe same line, on her return from Australia,
which is daily expected. These steam-ships, which are
now despatched from this port twice every month, are
only employed until the completion of larger and more
powerful vessels which are being built for this line ; so
that, in a short time, we may expect to see Liverpool
placed in as close proximity, or nearly so, with Canada as
she now is with Boston and New York, the trade with
which has enormously _increased since the establishment
of the Cunard and, subsequently, of the Coffins' line of
steam-ships. In thus opening up foreign markets, and
extending commercial operations, Liverpool has taken an
important lead, having, within the last few months,
originated lines of regular steam communication with the
Brazils, with Africa, with Canada, and other places. By
such means the trade of the port is multiplied, and,
therefore, every attempt of the kind deserves the support
and encouragement of all who feel interested in the wel-.
fare and prosperity of Liverpool.

ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA.

BY the British and North American Royal Mail Steam-
ship Africa, Captain Harrison, which reached the Mersey
at 6 46 p.m., yesterday, we have intelligence from New
York to the 11th inst.

The Africa brought 95 passengers, and $910,000 in
specie on freight.
On the 22d, at 10, a m.' the 'Africa passed the ship
Bannockburn, in lat. 61 30N., long. 11 23 W.
The ships Great Western, Furber, and Anglo Saxon,
Sinnett, hence for New York, arrived on the 7th inst.
The Shannon, Thompson, and Isaac Wright, Abeel,
hence for New York, arrived on the Bth inst. The Ash-
burton, 111`Williams, and Siddons, Taylor, hence for New
York, arrived on the 10th inst.
A telegraphic despatch, dated Halifax, Jan. .10, 11 p.m.,
says :—The Cunard steam-ship Cambria, from Havre,
via Southampton and Halifax for New York, is now about
thirteen days out, and is momentarily expected at this
port, where she will call to take in coal.
P.s.—Half-past eleven o'clock.—A thick snow storm has
set in, and it is unlikely that any steamer would venture
in before morning.
The United States steam-ship„,San Francisco, passed the
Hook on the 21st ult., with over six hundred souls on
.board, embracing about five hundred and fifty soldiers,
their officers, and many of their families, two or three
other passengers, and a ship's crew of seventy-five men.
It will be remembered that the vessel was destined for
San Francisco via the Straights of Magellan, touching at
Rio Janeiro, Valparaiso, and. Acapulco.. The following
particulars have been received from Boston :
The brig Napoleon, Capt. Strout, from Matanzas 29th
November, reports experiencing three tremendous gales,
lost sails, sprung a leak., and had to stave twenty-one
casks of molasses to save the vessel. Capt. Strout also
reports, December 25, lat. 38.04, long. 69.30, fell in with.
the steam-ship San Francisco, dismantled, everything
swept above deck, and the spray making a complete breach
over her. Capt., Watkins stated that the steamer was
leaking fast, and requesting Capt. Strout to lay by, which
he did ; but the, next morning the steamer was not in
sight, having drifted fast to the eastward. First saw her
at mid-day, and lost sight of her at dark. Her hull ap-
peared sound, The wind blew a fresh gale from the north-
west during the night, but moderated on the next day,
and was nearly calm. The first mate of the brig states
that a part of the hurricane deck forward was standing,
and the crew were busily engaged cutting it away and
throwing it overboard. The steamer was on the southeast
edge of the Gulf Stream, and was drifting out. Captain
Strout judged that they were more safe on board the
steamer than those on board his brig. There were about
two hundred persons on deck, and when the brig hove in
sight they. loudly cheered her.
The .following additional particulars have been received
of the Wreck of the Staffordshire :—A private letter says '
the large boat, which was, capable of containing 100 per-
sons, put off from the wreck, with only a few seamen on
board, and the smallest boat ith 14. It is further stated
that the first mate, with pistol in hand, prevented the pas-
sengers from getting in the boats. Persons who were well
acquainted Ivith that officer, however, pronounce the state-
ment false. Capt. Richardson had been confined by illness
to his, cabin, for several days previous to the disaster. A
despatch from Halifax names some of the persons, saved
from the Staffordshire as follows :—Messrs. Alden, Leet,
Horgan, and Stephensop, mates ; Cobbs, Witherton, and
Rice IPSs i SQiiiG rolgaw. uutm. 4aAk

An establishment for the manufacture of off from the
cotton seed has been started in New Orleans. It is as-
serted that the oil is of a bland pleasant taste, possessing
all the qualities of olive oil ; that it burns with great bril-
liancy, and is peculiarly fitted for using upon machinery,
on account of not gumming or dryulg. If the oil is
really valuable, the manufacture will soon become an im-
portant one, for the quantity of raw material is unbounded.
CA.LIFOIINIA.—The steam-ships George Law and Star
of the West arrived on the 9th inst., with the details of
nine days later from California, being to the 16th ult.
The G. L. brings the mails and over half a million of
dollars. The Star of the West brings $1,296,099 in trea-
sure, on freight, and a large amount in the hands of 4.32
passengers. The Golden Gate left San Francisco on the
afternoon of December 16, and arrived at Panama on the
eveninc, of the 28th.
Several daring highway robberies had occurred in San
Francisco.

From the interior the mining news is encouraging.
The rise of the rivers had totally suspended that kind of
mining ; but extensive preparations were making to make
up the deficit by thoroughly working the various dry
diggings. Ditches, canals, and flumes were put in opera-
tion, and water brought great distances to the favourable
localities. The supply of rain had been light.
_ _

Intelligence was received at San FranciWeo on the 18th
of December that a party of filibusters, whilst out
foraging, were attacked by the rancheros and greasers of
the town of San Tomas, a short distance from Encinado,
and after a slight skirmish the Americans were compelled
to retreat, leaving two of their number dead on
the field, and two taken prisoners. On arriving
at Encinado the Americans entrenched themselves
in an adobe house, where they were surrounded by
the Mexicans, under the command of Negreta, a military
chief, and in the engagement which ensued it is said that
ten or twelve Americans were killed, and that the rest
would likely share the same fate, as their boats had been
destroyed, and retreat cut off. Another account states
that the Americans had been attacked in a defile and com-
pelled to retreat, leaving about one-third of their number
dead or in the hands of the enemy ; that the balance had
embarked on board the Caroline, and sailed down the
gulf, with the intention of escaping up the coast.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW, Yons, JAN. 11.
Monty MARKET.-The stock market opened and closed
heavy. There was no particular activity in any particular
fancy, and prices were very feverish and unsettled. The
closing rates for sterling exchange ranged from 9 to 91
per cent. premium. The demand was limited.

COTTOI:7 (From W. P. Wright's Circulet;,llth Tan):
—There has been a moderate business doing at somewhat
irregular prices, with more desire on the part of holders
to realise; the demand for home consumption has fallen
off, while that for export has been interfered with by the
scarcity of, and advanced rates for, freight to Liverpool.
We have had also a considerable accession to our stock by
recent arrivals. The sales since 3d instant have been--
6,049 bales for export; 3,820 for home consumption; and
1,305 on speculation : making a total for the week of
14,174 bales. The quotations annexed are those adopted
by the Association of Brokers on Monday last, and at
which the market yesterday was reported dull. The ex-
port for the week has been as follows :—To Liverpool,
1,497 bales ; Havre, 2,056; Antwerp, 501; Lisbon, 234.
Total, 4,285 bales.
I am advised from every point at the South that a
marked improvement is apparent in the quality of the
cotton lately received, and learn also that planters have
used more care in cleaning and ginning their late pickings,
induced so to do no doubt by the low price obtainable for

Le poorer qualities in the markets -at home, and the

hea4 losses- made on shipments .of same to ;European
markets. There is no cotton however of this crop re-
ceived here so far, containing the dust and sand which
was so prominent a feature in a large proportion of last
year's crop. Generally speaking, the Orleans and Mobile
cotton of this crop is of good colour and staple, free from
sand, well handled, but with a large proportion of leaf.
The Upland cotton now arriving is also of good colour,
tolerably clean and free from leaf, but the staple is inferior
to that of last year.
Decidedly the best cotton this year is that received at
Apalachicola, which, judging from arrivals here so far, is
not only of good colour and staple, but is also well handled,
clean, and free from leaf and dirt. The Texas crop is
superior in handling and cleanliness to the one grown last
year, while from Florida the receipts thus far have been
comparatively inferior to those of any during the past
three years, though I am informed an improvement will
be found in such cottons as are now on the way, and in
the late receipts at St. Mark's, &c. Taking the crop as a
whole, I consider it will be fully an average one as to
quality, and should the future receipts prove equal to
expectation, it will be better than an average, while, under
all circumstances, it will be vastly superior to the one
of 1852-3. _

lleceipts at the ports again show a decrease as compared
with last year. The total deficiency now amounts to 537,000
bales. _

The following is a statement of the movement in cotton
since the Ist September last, as compared with the pre-
vious three years :

1831. 1853. 1852. 1851.
Receipts at the Ports, 956,000 1,493,000 1,021,000 951,00)
Exports to Gt. Britain, 263,000 565,000 326,000 278,000
France 75,000 93,000 122,000 134,000
other For. Ports, 62,000 80,000 48,000 73,00
Total Exports 405,000 743,000 496,000 485,000
Stock on hand ' 490,000 595,000 413,000 474,000

From which it will be seen that the decrease in receipts
now amounts to 537,000 bales ; the decrease in exports to
Great Britain, 297,000 ; France, 23,000 ; other foreign
ports, 18,000. Total decrease in exports, 338,000 bales.
BREADSTUFTS.—FIour was in still brisker request, at
advancing rates. Nothing new occurred in Canadian.
The sales of Southern amounted to 3800 barrels at yester-
day's quotations. Rye flour was unaltered. Barley was
rare. No important change appeared in oats. Corn was
doing better.
PaovrsioNs.—Since our last, old mess pork has been in
fair demand, from $l3 to mt. Beef is quiet, with no
change in price; prime mess $lBl to $22. There is a
fair steady demand for butter at former prices.
_ _

NAVAL STORES—Spirits of Turpentine has an upward
tendency; sales were made at 62 to 621 cents, now held
at 65 to 66 cents. Crude Turpentine, Rosin, &c., without
alteration.

FREIGHTs.—There was less offering, but rates were
steady. To Liverpool—Cotton, compressed bales, per lb.,
5-16 d to id ' • Flour, per bbl., 3s 3d to 3s 6d ; Rosin, 4s ;
Heavy Goods, per ton. 35s to 40s ; Grain, in bulk, per bush.,
lld to lltd ; Beef, per tierce, ss. 6d. to 6s. To Lon-

THOMAS'S SHILLING CONMITS.---The success which
has attended these admirable performances leaves no doubt
