years, inconsiderable. While gold bullion is in de-
mand, at premium on its standard value, for the

lit cannot be retained in circulation.
or the gold coined within the last year, about five
per cent. was received from North Carolina, thirty
Ave from Africa, and fifty from South America and
the West Indies. The remainder about ten per
cent. is of uncertain origin.

out the year. The amount in the vaults of the
Mint exceeds 8 3000oo and no failure of the sup
ply is at present anticipated. large portion Of this
supply comes directly from Mexico, South Ameri-

wrought bullion, in plate, and in coins not admitted
into our currency. But the principal deposes arc

NEW YORK CANAL FUND.-The Commits
sioners Of the New York Canal Fund have commu
ncated to the legislature of that state lucid report
on the state Of the canal fund. BY this report it
appears that the cost of the canals will be somewhere
about ten millions; that the debts that will have
been contracted at their completion will be some
what short Of eight millions and that if the funds
appropriated to the canals be rgidly applied to that
purpose, together with the tolls, the debt will be
paid in about ten years, when the duly on salt may
be removed and leave an income the state OF about
one million per annum. The report, while il shows
the prosperous condition OF the fiscal concerns oil
the state indicates the boundess operations which
may hereafter be carried on without additional bur-
thens upon the people. Five hundred copies of the
report we're ordered to be printed in pamphlet
II form.

MR.. KEAN.-DRURY LANE.

LONDON, JAN. 25.-Great curiosity
was excited by the announcement that
Kean would resume his performances
Immediately, and that he had selected
for his temperance Richard, his favo-
rite character, and Monday the favo-
rite day with most of his staunch sup
-porters.
The managers, anticipating some
opposition to this precious experiment
made application to the magistrates at
Bow-street, early yesterday morning,
for the assistance of a strong party OF
the police within the house. This was
at first peremptorily refused, on the
ground, that if they chose to make
such out-of-the.way experiments, they
mus, takethe consequences upon them
selves: but in the course of the day,
upon a more earnest entreaty for assis-
lance, their worships relaxed in their
refusal, and two parties of the patroie,
were allowed to man the Hobbies; tho
they were enjoined by the magistrate,
not to interfere, except in case oil actual
riot; and this injunction they striS'iy
obeyed. Meanwhile the thick and thin
worshippers of Mr.. Kean, were' It is
said, beating up for volunteer defen'
ders. and that he himself dined in the
theatre with party Of his own, very
iovially. All the doors were thronged

FROM NEW-ORLEANS.

The arrival of the William has put
the editors of the Gazette in possession
of the New-Orleans Price Current OF
the 10Th ult. and it does not appear that
there was any sensible stir in the Cot
ton Market at this date, the news by
the ship Azelia, which reached the
the Balize on the 18th, not having
reached the city. There had been. for
three weeks, "a steady demand for cot.
ton, but very little rise in price. All
commercial movements continued to
be shackled by the wretched condition
of the streets, and in the neighborhood
of the cotton warehouses and presses.
The stock of cotton on hand the 10th,
including that on shipboard and not
cleared, was 4o,9so bales. Ibid.

PIRATES.

Capt. Morrison, arrived at Philadel-
phia, from Maracaibo, states, that on
the 4th ultimo. he landed at Fort ST.
Carlos, and was informed by the Com
mandant, that the capt. ola Dutch schr
from Curacao, had reported that two
days before sailing, Feb. /, suspicious
looking schr. in company with brig,
had been seen passing the harbor, and
that on the next day, IA dead bodies,
with their heads cut off, were picked
up ON the beach. The commandant
h ad no doubt the schr was pirate.
The capt. of the Jane and Mary, ar
rived at New-York confirms the state
ment of capt. Morrison, from Maracai-
BIO, of the washing ashore at Curacao
of dead bodies, with heads cut of, but
states the number at t,centyJf four instead
offourteen. He says they were sup
posed to have been the crew OF an A.
merican ship which had sailed a few
days previously, and fallen into the
hands Of the pirates.
