From the Freeman's Journui.

Mr.. Hameln-As the note Of prepa-
ration is sounding for the coronation OF
Charles the Tenth, at Rheims, the fol-
lowing account of a fete given on ST.
milar occasion to one of his predeces-
sors may not be undressing to your
readers. To your commercial friends
l would suggest that, in anticipation OF
a similar mammoth destruction of pro-
visions, it affords profitable hint for
shipments; but that they are chewing
the cud of disappointment in the Wa
ming prospects of the cotton mania
As an indication, however, OF the gor.
mandizing, all-devouring appetite OF
royalty, it may tend to reconcile us to
the abstemious temperance OF our re-
publican habits.

by our friend, at much cheaper rate,

Being on board the brig Mary & Eli

took it to be what has been called Sea
Serpent. We passed 1t small dis
lance. tackled ship s. stood for it again.
Found that there were two OF them
they made from us-however, we soon
overlook them. Being some time in
company with them, we had fair view.
They appeared when head to us, more
like horses swimming than any thing
we could compare them to. Their
length appeared to be about 40 feet,
their head and neck about 6 or 8 feet,
which they kept out of water about A
feet. From the top of their heads TO
the water, the head part appeared to be
full of punches like barnacles, OF knots
of divers colors, being about 100 feet
from them we could view them well.
Their bodies appeared to be of the CO.
lour of a whale, their tails lay Fat ways
in the water, and spread about 8 feet,
like whales tail. After viewing them
abour Is minutes, we tackled snip, and
stood on our course.
They likewise tackled and,swam af-
ter us, when they appeared more like
horses than ever, and their way through
the water was nearly as fast as ours
There was a white streak running a
bout two thirds round their heads al
the waters edge, which we took TO be
where the mouth was. They some
times blow like whales. The spout
holes were about feet from their nose,
on their backs. They had very blunt
nose They must either be Sea Hors-
es or Sea Serpents, for such fish none
on board ever saw before.

We have been favored by commercial
friend, with the following extract OF a letter
dated Liverpool, 3oth March, evening =
"Since mine by the Balena, we have had
no arrivals The demand fol cotton is most
animated. The total sales of the three first
DAYS of the week were %, 500 bags. This day
about 10, 900 bags more were sold, and prices
are fully I'D higher than last week-16a have
been paid for Bowels, and for lot OF old, OF
as good quality as have ever seen, I'D have
been refused. Upon change of wind we
must have large arrivals, but do not think
they will affect prices materially, if at all"
Extract of another letter, dated
liverpool, March 80, Erening. THE deten-
ton of this conveyance, enables US to add the
business of to-day. We informed you in a
Postscript, that several thousand bales of cot
ton were sold last night, after the arrival ofthe
Manchester mail, at an advance of I'd on the
prices of the day. A number of purchasers
were in the market early this morning and
would have bought extensively at those prices
but holders asked another I'D advance upon
the prices of last highland even this was ge-
morally obtained, and there was heavy busi-
ness doing until about IL O'Clock, when the
demand seemed simultaneously to cease, and
purchases might now be made upon terms ST.
milar to those of last night. Holders appear to
be very confident that this absence of demand
will only be temporary, and that even ifprces
recede little, they will again advance. The
sales last night are supposed to have been at
least 5000 bags, and to day they are estimated
at 5000 to 5000 of all sorts-The demand tor
every other article of American produce IS
nearly suspended. The duty on U. S. ashes'
will soon be reduced to 6s per cwt.
Easterly winds prevent arrivals, and our I'M
ports this week are very trifling."
