on
the 16th. She has made the quickest passage yet aceenl:.
pushed from New York, having occupied in the run from
that port, including the detention at Halifax, only elver,
and a half days.
The screw steamer Sarah Sands left New York on the
Bth inst., for this port.
The Europa steam-ship, Captain Lott, reached L'rel
York on the 13th, after a very smart passage of little
more than eleven days.
An extensive drought prevailed in New York and the
adjoining states, and will have a bad effect on thegrowing
crops of corn.
On the Bth instant, several violent shocks of earthquake
were felt at New York, Brooklyn, &c. The noiseresera•
bled distant thunder, and in one or two places the doors
and window-shutters were forced open.

The port of Maracaibo (Venezuela) was still blocks.
and no vessel allowed to enter. Skirmishes were do"
taking place between the contending parties.
A most disastrous fire took place in Brooklyn, on tile
9th inst., which destroyed nearly three hundred buildiner
includinc, ti ree churches, and immense quantities of goods'
merchandise, and furniture, amounting to between in
million and a million and a half of dollars. It comma'
in Fulton-street, and spread along Henry-street, Cl?n°
berry, Orange, Liberty, Concord, Washington, and Nas-
sau-streets. Whilst the flames were raging, several house'
were blown up by order of the Mayor. Several lives were
lost. The appearance of the city after the fire was dis-
tressing ; churches and churchyards were filled with far;
niture, embracing every household article, from a tear
to a sofa—from a child's chair to a massive bureau.

destroyed were the niversalist Church, the first Methodist
Episcopal Church, and the Baptist Chapel. The post-
office was also destroyed. Nearly two hundred families
have been rendered houseless. The area over which the
fire extended was about ten acres. Many of the buirdint
destroyed were of the finest description, being five or' 5.,"
stories high, and erected within the last two years.
The Presidential election still continues to occuPte
much attention as ever. The supporters of eatih cow'
date are yet perfectly sanguine. Mr. Van Buren and COY
neral Taylor seem best supported.
On the 19th ultimo a hurricane was experienced atglid
tanzas. and another to the westward of Bermuda on the
31st ultimo.

The money-market at New York was steady and rather
stringent, and there was a regular demand for discount:
at the ordinary rate of six and seven per cent. for gof
business paper. The demand for exchange was not vaiJ
active; on London the rates for bills were from 9 to 91'
The intelligence from this port, taken out by the giber

in the provision market at New York, where they sr,
" preparing for large imports of bread stuffs to England'
for considerable impo7tations of coin therefrom, and
a dull market for cotton, of which the growing crop vf,,
be very large." We take the following from the NT

however, that the quantity of cotton in transitu from
southern to northern ports on the Ist instant was greater
than usual, and as it has been always treated as a constant',.

will this year appear greater by the ordinary process thali
it ought to do. We assume. 470,000 bales to have been
the extreme consumption of the last twelve months, 11
the districts usually included, and probably- even of that
quantity a portion consists of excess of stocks held id
manufacturers on the Ist instant beyond what they halv
on the Ist September, 1847.
We demur to the correctness- of the stock reported!
in-this port, merely because when prices are low and the
article unprofitable to holders, much cotton always esnaYet

method of counting up our stock
.and the indifference°
holders to having their cotton sampled and offered for sale;
It will be seen that the stocks remaining on the is
instant are stated by us at 20,000 hales larger than?. year
ago, but there will probably be a difference of opinion on
this point.

present moment the chances are perhaps more in favour
of 2,600,000 than 2;700,000, but there-is still a possibiiitY
of 2,900,000.
