Cd below ON Wednesday evening, we have
!. received papers to the lst Of March, on
which day the ship sailed. They are,
however utterly barren OF news, and
we cannot find an article of intelligence
worth extracting. The stocks had fallen: ;
8 Der cent couso's Goth Feb. were at TO-
omniam &c discount.
Tie ship Manhattan, Macy. arrived at
Liverpool eth February from this port in
"a DAYS. A ship was to sail for this port
on ;he 9Th, and the Martha, Sketchly. for
Go. On the 10Th March.
The COMMERCIAL advices are Of the most
gloomy nature. New failures were occur
ing, and with an ovcrstocked market, bu-
siness was extremely dull. The follow
ing IS an extract OF circular, from Messrs.
Cooper, Benson & Co.

most eager purchasers in the early part OF
the month became early last week unex-,

Ing a e-sci!er-any price that could be

n,a,ed seller to large extent, the prices

more especially Brazil cotton; Maranham

market OF course, after such occurrences Is
still rather unsettled, there are no pressing

can scarcely say that the prices are sup

prevailing depressing circumstances, the
prices o. American cottons would Prooa- !

cotton into the kingdom now amounts to
upwards Of lie 900 bags, of which GO 700
bags are from America, and $4,000 from
India.
.aIes.-The demand Of late has been
extremely dull, and the holders latterly
having become more anxious TO sell, the
prices have undergone considerable re-
duction; n. York cannot be quoted at
more than 49 52s per cwt pearls are e.
cually dull and also lower, Sc SIS per cwt

R:ce---With the exceptionof the sale OF
one parcel of new rice at 34s Sd per cwt.
Tor export, nothing has been done in this
