There was ano,hsr fsi;fgki in The House

who was putting him out, when some per

COTTON-In our review af last Wednesday
morning we observed that although the transact
tions in cotton in the first Of the week had only
been TO q moderate extent, in consequence Of dea.
leTs being indisposed to operate extensively Wnen
accounts more than a fortnight later were hourly
expected from Europe, yet that the market had,
notwithstanding, closed with o considerable degree
offrmneas on the evening before. BIS wednesday 9
mail, which arrived at an early hour, adyIces were
received from Liverpool to the 4tk and from HayFe
70 the lst of April, per Acad1as &C Boston.
The news, both from Liverpool and Havre, Is OF
very discouraging nature. Prizes If American Cot.
tons in the Liverpool Market had declined, from
to ed per Ib., the greatest reduction being on the
lower qualities. Al Havre the market had been IN
fGenced by causes similar 10 those W ic operated
at Liverpool, and with like result, decline OF some
5 to cenimes having taking lace The effect OF
/ these accounts on our Market was to cause an
almost complete suspension of business on wednes-
day, only two or three small lots, scarcely amount
ing in all to 500 bales having been sold On Thurs
day the market again opened exceedingly dull, and
/ there was no business done Of any moment until
late in the day. when prices gave way from to
/ 3 of a cent, and some 5000 bales Immediately
changed hands in consequence. This red uctiou in
prices led to a more active and general inquiry on
Yesterday, buyers having operated to the extent of
| fully 1000 bales. Prices ruled nearly the same as
on Thursday, but the market, however, assumed a
rather more steady character as the DAY advanced
and closed. apparently, with SEINE frmness. The
decline is the gre test on the lower qualities, and
our quotations have been altered accordingly. Buy
ers for Spain continue to operate occasionally, and
there is some business doing also for the French
and other Continental markets. but much the larg.
est portion of the buying has been on English ac-
count. There is still a tolerably large stock in
first hands, for the season. though it is now on the
decrease, as the receipts are ligh and diminishing
fast. The sales of the last three days, amount TO
800 bales.

DEAR SIR:-Allow me 10 inform you OIL
some singular circumstances relative TO A
sToRM, A VISITOR, A CURIOSITY, and a little

in the afternoon there came a storm through
my neiRhboThood; one Of those common
gusts Of rain and wind, frequent at this sea-
son, passing over from s. w. TO N. E. The
main current Of the storm was a mile or 90

Of them, ever since. Most Of my neighbours
have seen il, and we all readily admit we
never saw, heard or read Of such bird be-
fore.

snake-like appearance Of the neck and head
Of the wild goose. Its hinder paris are more
tapering aud the wings larger than the tame
goose. lis eye Is small, and black without
the red circle which the goose has. And
lie legs are little longer and put on a little
different. Il flies and swims with dexterity
and ease truly remarkable. Itisa little shy
