A fearful accident I

[lad occurred a

playing on the

top of the precipice, known as the Devil's Hole, approached
too near the edge and overbalanced. For an instant she
clung to the bushes, but, loosing her hold before assistance
could reach her, fell into the gulf, a distance of 150 feet.
She was got out alive, but in a hopeless state. A duel had
been fought on the Georgia side of the St. Mary's river,
between Messrs. Coker and Steward, two young lawyers,
of Newmansville, Florida. The weapons used were double-
barrelled guns, loaded with buckshot, distance seventy-five
paces. There was but one fire, three of the shots from Mr.
Coker's piece taking effect upon his adversary, two in the
arm and one in the breast. The latter wound is considered
dangerous. They fought about a young lady. Steward's
mother was present.

Intelligence by telegraph from New York of the 6th
instant says—The ships Tradewind, for Liverpool, and
Olympus, from Liverpool, came in collision, and both
sank total loss of twenty-four persons drowned. The

nesday. A collision
ed on the Susquehanna railroad : twenty-eight
persons were killed.
Cotton slightly advanced. All breadstuffs have further

The money market to-day has been unsettled, and accurate
quotations cannot be given. Standard as well as fancy
stocks have considerably declined. Exchange on London,

PHILADELPHIA, JULY 6.—A destructive fire has taken
place in this city. The Chinese museum, national theatre,
&c., have been burned. Loss not less than half-a-million
dollars.

Advices from Havana to the 27th June state that a large
number of slaves had been landed at Trinidad, with the con-
currence of the authorities. The first detachment of troops
intended for the defence of the island had arrived out.
Cholera had broken out in Quebec and Montreal. It
was supposed to have been brought by emigrants.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

NEW YORK, JULY 3.—There was a very light business
Foreign Bills, with transactions on London at 1091 to
The regular bankers were disposed to draw at 1091,
but for cash in hand they were not able to do much at this
rate. In regard to the heavy failure of Messrs. R. and
George L. Schulyer, said to be for several millions of dol-
lars, we learn that about $600,000 of their immediate obli-
gations are to Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, secured by rail-
road collaterals. The remainder of their money engage-
ments were variously distributed, but generally secured by
similar collaterals. The redemption of the public debt of
the United States, for the week, amounted to $1,410,149,
leaving the outstanding debt of the United States, on Ist
July, exclusive of the Texas indemnity, $42,187,856; re-
deemed during fiscal year $16,017,661.
Corrox.--The market had been dull, and extreme quo-
tations were difficult to obtain. The lower grades espe-
cially were difficult to move, and prices must be considered
nominal. The stock on sale was made up of mixed mid-
dling to inferior descriptions, the better grades being very
scarce, and commanded enhanced rates. The sales for the
week amounted to 7,936 bales, of which 5,507 were for
export, and 2,529 for home use. The market closed on the
eve of the national festival very quietly, and the week be-
ing considered a holiday one would probably pass by with-
out much animation. The accounts to hand of the grow-
ing crop were not so favourable. Heavy rains had fallen
in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, causing the grass
to get the upper hand of the planter, owing to the back-
wardness of the crop. Dry and hot weather during July
and August would be needed to obtain a full yield.
