 beg leave, having just reached home, to wait on you with the annexed Price Current, embracing 1 conceive, all the information concerning our market in which you feel any interest. By comparing the present quotations of cotton with those of 1st Oc- tober, you will find that this great staple of our try has declined from IA to l 3-4 cents, and even at present quotations the market is not brisk
 Prospects are certainly less latterng in regard to cotton, than they were t,c0 months since It was then the general belief that the crop of the United States would fall short of that of last year very terially That opinion is entirely changed, and it Is believed that the present will exceed that of last year some 50,000 bales, although the last was the heaviest crop ever grown ill the United States Mississippi and Louisiana cotton range from to II 12 cents-chief sales of good running lots at 10 cents Very little has as yet been received from the Western District of Tennessee, and it is questiona ble whether the best from that quarter would now command 10 cents. Some two or four weeks back some small parcels changed hands at 10 1-2 cents think from the sales of corresponding qualities of Louisiana and Mississippi that if the stock of Ten nessee cotton was heavy enough to base quotations on they would be at to 1-2 cents It is generally believed that the present crop of LOUISIANA and MISSISSIPPI will exceed that of last year 40 to 50- 600 baes and some are of opinion that the increase will be 10000. This increase will make good any falling off that may be from Tennessee and North Alabama and add to the receipts of this port of last year, some oO 10 4O,oOU Dales, making the recelpts 400 900 against 36S, ,000 last season..
 merely give you the above as the current opinion in this place, and will remark that this belief toge ther with the disturbances in Europe, purcha to hold off for the present. and if our stock heauy is highly probable that prices would be lower than they are, as the demand is con- fined almost exclusively for our Northern Factories At this moment it is impossible to say what the article will take in the next six months but you may rest satisfied, that shall take much pleasure in keeping you constantly advised of any change in our market.

 In the House of Representatives, Mir BARRNGER submitted the following resolution:
 ResolUed That the committee of ways and means be instructed to report bill reducing the duty bar iron, made by hammering to the amount of duty i'm. posed by the law of 1916.
 Also, to reduce the duty on Cotton Bagging to two cents per square yard.
 Aso to reduce the duty woollen goods, costing less than fifty cents per square yard, at the place whence imported, to ad valorem duty of twenty five per centum.
 Also, to reduce the duty coarse wool costing less than ten cents per pound at the place whence i'm ported, to an ad valorem duty oftwenty per cent,
 Also, to reduce the duty on brown sugar to two cents per pound.
 Mir CoNDIcT demanded the question of considera- ton on this resolution; Mir FINCH called for the Yeas and Nays on the question. They ordered by the House, and being taken, stood as follows:

From the National Intelligencor, Dec. 15
 The House yesterday, by large majority, refus- ed to consider resolution moved by Mir BARRIN- GER, of North Carolina, pf0p0slng certain specific reductions of the duties on lmposts; and the day be- fore yesterday, by majority of 16 votes, refused to consider proposition of Mir HAYNES, of Georgia to inquire into the expedency of repeating the duties on imported Sugars. These votes certainly indicate an ndsposition to go into the subject of the Tariff at the present moment. It must be borne in mind, how ever, that the whole subject of the Tariff has been referred in the distribution of the parts of the Pres dents Message, to the standing Committees of the House. no less than three committees being charged with it, viz: the Committee on Commerce, the Com mittee on Agriculture, and the Committee on Manu- actures. The refusal to consider these propositions may be owing in part also, to unwlllingness to en- ter into the subject early in the Session MT BARRINGER, indeed, having made hls motion to en- brace positive proposition, and not a motion for in quiry merely wished only to lay it the table for future deliberation The call for the question of con- sideratiOn, however, precluded all other questions and obliged the House to agree to go into the discus sion now or refuse to consider the proposition. In the case of the duty Sugar, perhaps the decision may be considered final for this Session against the repeaL of the duty, as Mir HAYNES motion proposed inquiry merely, which is always granted unless the mind of the House is already made up against the measure proposed to be inquired into.
 At no former Session of Congress have so many accidents happened on the road to Members of Con gress coming here. A few days ago one of the sta ges from Baltimore upset with three Members of Congress in it, who were slightly hurt whilst re- spectabe lady of Georgetown who was also pas- senger, was severely injured Mir SEVER, of Ar kansas has just arrived with his collarbone broke, having left Mir BIBB, of the Senate, behind him, both having been overturned in the stage.

The murder was prevented by the knife hitting the head board, the wretch at the same time eXclaiming that he would pun lsh the perjured wretch, meaning Elder w.
