The Acadia, Royal Mail Steam Ship, came up the river
this morning a little after right. She left Boston on the 2d
instant (having been detained a day by the non-arrival of the
mails) and Halifax at half-past five on the evening of the 4th
instant. She brought papers five days later than those by
the Roscius. There is no intelligence of importance.
There was not a very heavy demand for bills on London.
The quotations were from 6?>. to 6a. The cotton market had
been again less active, sales for export being somewhat re-
tarded by the advanced rates of freight demanded to Liver-
pool and Havre. Buyers were demanding a corresponding
reduction in price, but as far as could he ascertained no va-
riation had occurred. The transactions on the 29th embraced
700 bales Upland and Florida at 51 to 7 cents, 700 Mobile,
6to 8, and 500 New Orleans 6to at. The arrivals had been
2,945 bales. We quote the following front a New York paper
of the 30th ult.

CHARLESTON MARKET, NOV, 26,

CorroN.—There was some animation in the Upland mar-
ket throughout Saturday last, and a fair business was done
in the article. The same feeling was also exhibited through-
out Monday : bnt on Tuesday unfavourable acoounts reached
us from the other side, per the Acadia, at Boston, which
had the tendency to check operations as buyers withdrew ;
but at the opening of the market on Wednesday they were
generally in attendance, demanding a reduction in prices ;
and as holders yielded, a heavy business has engaged dealers
for several days past, at a decline upon all qualities below
middling fair, fully cent per lb., in fact in some instances a
heavier reduction has been submitted to.

Colonel Webb, who had been indicted for giving a chal-
lenge, had been sentenced to two years' imprisonment, but

Advices from Vera Cruz to the 7th nit. has been received
in New Orleans. The expedition, consisting of four thousand
troops, sailed for Yucatan ; but one of the New Orleans
papers says, on the authority of verbal accounts from Vera
Cruz, that orders had been received from England for the
immediate return of all the British officers and seamen on
board the war steamer Guadalupe.—Santa Anna was at his
residence at Mango de Clavo, where he had assembled a large
body of troops for a body-guard.
Mr. Braham arrived in New York on the 27th ult., after
a profitable tour through Cincinnati, &c.
