THE TEN SECT IONS.
 ihe following letter, on this aH-aJso3-J- tng topic, IS from gentleman resident in Phillips county. Nc concur with.th ri ter, that it would be a thing very well to furnish the public with additional light on this subject, by laying before them mi mute description of tlle Big House, fas it IS termed by the Party and the buildings contiguous and belonging thereto, that they may be the better able 10 judge of its real yalne in comparison with tie Ten Sections, for which it was to have been exchanged. We design, therefore, in our next, to give 10 tle public very minute description of the Crittenden House, lots, &c., about which the dcmagogucs of Ar kansas have made so much ado of late.
 Philips county, .Hay.6.
 Aluchsligllt has recently been shed upon tie I'en Secfion HobJy; and many of us who were heretofore opposed to the bill. are now satisfied that tlle people would not have been nncleinjured by tfe exchange with Mr. Crittcnden. Since the appear- at,ce q Judge ScoTT's $ address, there Ias been great change of opinion in this county.
 But frly docs not some person give us the size of Mr. C.2s house, kitchen, smoke house, office and ground ,.that we nay be abfe 10 judge better? One party tells us that its a private dwellingi the other that II IS sufficiently spacions for the purposes of q State House; some that il will do very well asit now is; others that it requires some alterations. If some person would take the trouble to give us a description of the size, it's length, breadth, height. &c. with the nnmbersof rooms and their dimensions, and contiguity to each other, we could judge much better ofthe matter From Leyy's NEu-OEfEAss PRlcEs Gun

 Remnrhs. .--Busincss has been muchre- tarded this week by the almost dally show CTS of rain. The unpayed streets, parti- culally in the upper Fanbourg, are in many places almost impossible, impeding very much the prompt transportation of merchandise, and may, if the weather con tinues damp much longer, add to the ex- pcnse thereof The Mississippi remains al the stage last noticed, about lsinches below nigh water mark.
 CoHon.--Very little has been done in the market since our last report prices remain as then quoted, except that few small lots of choice Louisiana Cotton las obtained over l2 cents; this quality is very scarce-other lots of Louisiana and Mis- sissippi have been sold. .ayiz 500 bales at 9A 10 cents, round; 450 Alabama, at 91. The latest news from Liverpool, advising of extensive sales and moderate stock, has somewhat cieercd this market; but pur- chascrs aiiege that the rate of trcigiltsis too high to operate with good prospect at present prices, either here or abroad.
 Sugar, on plantation, is quite dull The objection made by agents for the northern market yet prevails, prices there will not warrant those asked here; the planters we learn are not so firm in their demands now as formerly, and are soliciting offers for their crops. The market at this mo- mcntis far from being flattering
 .Holasses, on plantation, continues cur rent .atI9a a 20 cents, and varies in price according 10 the distance from lie city 1t IS as before remarked quite scarce.
 Flour remains without change iniPricc, with very limited demand-the sales during tlcsweelS lave ruled at S5 25.
 Pork ilas a moderate though better de- mand than last week Mess Is selling al S1l 50 and some parcels have obtained S1l 75 per bbl.
 L,trd remains without change in price -that ofaverage quality is worth cents.
 Bacon comes 10 market abundantIy- Hams arc worth : a 7A; hog round .l 6.ss
 Bugslag finds ready sale at 2p ccnts per yard.
 UhiSkey is advancing in price, the last sales of the article were at 34 53 cents per gallon.
 Coffee sS very plenty, and comparatively in little demand--our quotations are from last ansactions--Havana l2a IA lsiol I3 a 134, St. Domingo 12 cents per lb, Teas have become more undant ,and have suffered corresponding depression in prices.
