Since cur last Report, few ate
rations have taken place in the mar
ket, these that have come under our
knowledge. we shall briefly notice.
Cotton. the principal article export
cd, IS quicker than it has been. from
there being very little first quality
in market, and that mostly purcha-
sed and shipped in vessels that have.
already sailed for Earepean ports.
Flour, more depressed than in last
week. and sales are dull at the pri-
ees now quoted; there is very little
demand for this article either in Por-
tugal, Spain or the West lndies.--
Rice, much as former quotations,
sales dull and very limited. Cling
sing has risen 400 per cent. in con-
sequence of the demand for the East
Indies. Quercitron bark. in very
little demand. Coffee, rising, from
the high prices asked in the West
Indies. Nlolasses, sales dull at 70
cents per gallon. Sugars and teas
looking up. arc considered to sell
quick at the prices quoted. Rum,
w. |. little depressed. Hemp,
Russia. clean, very dull, the price
asked. is $50 dollars per ton, but
sales have been made at auction, at
$50 and $50 dollars. Iren continues
much the same. the expectation is,
that we shall receive abundant sup
plies in sixty or seventy days from
Amelia Island. Lumber, as yet,
has experienced very little aItera-
ton. but in the course ola week, it
is expected the prices will be much
lower, the North River being alrea-
CIV clear. from whence we receive
great part Of our supplies. Dry
goods, ct all kinds, are nearly re-
iluced TO the original peace prices.

Kentucky Mummy.

There is now ia this CITY a remarkable

skin whose hair had been CIT. away By 4
sharp instrUment; the snevt WRAPPER. Is -
cloth, made 81 twipe, doubled and twisted,
but the thread does aot appear te have
been formed by the wheel, nor tie Aeb
by the loom. The warp aud filing seega to
have been crossed and krotted b. an
operation like that OF the fabrics OF the
North West coast. and of the Sandwich
Islands. The iuetmost tegument is a
mantle OF cloth like the preceding, but
furnished with large brown feather, ar
ranged ayFi fasteaed with great art, so as
tobe capable ofgaarding the living weae-
er from wst ard cold. The plumase
j. distinct and entire. The body is ina
squattirg posture, with the right arm re-
clining forward aad Its Eand encircling
the right leg The left arm hangs down
with its hand incined parity under
the seat. The individual, who was {
male, did not probably exceed the age
of fourteen at his death. Taere is a
deep and extensive fracture Of the scull
near the occiput. which probably killed
him. The skin has sustained little inju-
y; it is of dusky color, but the na-
taral hue cannot be decided with exact
ness from its present appearance. The
scalp, with small exceptions, is covered
with sorrel or fox hair The teeth are
white and sound. The hands and feet
in their shriveiled state are slender and
delicate.
