Loss OF THE SNIP CoRsELIA-The ship Corne-
liza, Captain Cushman, from Havana for Amste rdan,
with cargo Of sugars, was wrecked at sea a short
time since, asd will be total loss. She was mid
way between Cape Hatteras and Bermuda, when she
struck drifting spar, which perforated a hole in
her bow. She sunk in about five hours after and
will be a loss Of over S500O0-perhaps $50, 00O-
The vessel was owned here by Messrs. +. Gebhard
Il Co., and was insured in Wall street for Sl2 0O0-
Her cargo is covered by insurance in Amsterdam,
we believe, with $4,000.
The Cernelia must have been . posr, miserable,
rckety old vessels, to be damaged by mere drift
spar in the manner she was.

set all Europe in blaze. Her arrival is anxiously
looked for by all commercial men. II is important
to know whether the Bank Of England has raised the
rate of interest to six per cent or not And BY the
arrival of the Onecs at Boston, learn that cotton
had rallied the 18th ult.; therefore the cotton
dealers and holders anxiety will daily increase till
