ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.
Is DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
The Acadia arrived at Boston Oh Satn1da.

Is DAVIS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Acadia arrived at Boston on Saturday
morning in II days from Liverpool
The Philadelphia cars, due at / O'Clock last
night, did not arrive until this morning, hav-
ing run off the track beyond Wilmington. A
passenger was somewhat injured by Jumping
from the car at the time of the accident. We
have time only to give a brief abstract of the
news brought by the Acadia, and that in but
portion of our edition. We copy from Wilmer
& Smiths European Times, furnished us by the
express of Mcssrs. Adams s. Co.
COMMERCIAL. The cotton market is in We
ny depressed state, and prices are literally fixed
by the buyer, and this owing TO the anxious de-
sire manifested to effect Sales many parties
having held over large stocks, which they find
it nconvenent to hold any longer, and others
having received pressing orders from the States
to sell, the parties sending such orders making
no allowance for the peculiar state Of this mar
ket; the consequence is, fair quality of Uplands
has been sold at i'd per h. and middling at 8 5-S
per To-, and there is only very limited sale for
any description over 4 lid per lb. The sales
on the 30th November were 1000 bags, I'd De-
cember $500 bags, and yesterday 1000 bags
1t is evident that the stock is far too heavy.
particularly with the prospect of such a crop
as was never known before, the recent accounts
stating it at 100000 bags; and it is also evi
dent that the prices may become SO depressed
that it will be for the interest Of the planter to
cease for time sending any cotton to the
ports, unless he is content to sell it at to l-2
cents per ID, which is Just about the rate OF
profit sPInners III this country make upon every
pound OF cotton they spin; indeed, unless the
production of cotton is checked by some means
or other, to cents per Id. for ordinary to
good quality may soon be the full price any
one will be warranted in paying for the article
in the various ports Of shipment, and this will,
of course, leave so little for the planter, that
check to the growth must follow as a natural
consequence,
The stock is at present $50, 800 bags more
than last year, and the now crop is arriving
freely, so that no great dimnntion in the stock
can take place, and consequently an improve
ment in the prices may be considered out ofthe
question.
The grain markets have been we'll supplied
since the sailing of the last packet. At the
market yesterday, foreign wheats were held
more firmly at former rates. The flour trade
was dull, and oats were taken sparingly at a
small advance on the prices of the previous
week; Malt and barley were difficult of sale,
The duty on foreign barley has declined to IS.
and advanced on rye to is. Cd. per quarter
Tinted States and Canadian flour have hardly
sepported previous prices
The American provision trade continues to
form an important branch Of commerce, every
day adding to its growth. We must refer our
commercial readers to the report under this
head, which comprises most useful information
to all who are the least interested in the bust
ness. The imports of cheese have been large,
and the quality of the article is much approved
by the English palate. On the suiect of Anne
rican lard, beef and butter, the repot, which
may be relied upou as presenting the existing
state of the market and the experience of a
highly respectable house, will furnish every to-
pic of interest.
Trade at Manchester continues brisk, and
there are no stocks of either goods or yalns; not
outstanding this is what is termed tho dull
season, when spinners have usually had to ac-
cumulate stock.
The iron trade is most animated and even
at this, usullly the dullest season of the year,
as will be sceu by reference to our ample re-
port unde: the proper head, the market is brisk,
with certainty OF its becoming more SO with
the opening of the year. To the great home
trade, which is alive with new specuIatons, and
the new improvements daily taking place in
shipping, may be attributed this result.
The government contract for 100000 gallons
of rum, half East India aud half West India,
has been taken by one of the firm, at 2s Sd
per gallon, proof strength, very low price in
the present state of the markets. Money is
likely to become much more abandoned, owing
to the Bank of England having reduced the
rate of interest on loans to 2 l-2 per cent. The
discount houses, to compete with the hank,
will have to bring their terms still lower, and
it is thought that many will be compelled to
retire from the business. The accounts from
the manufacturing districts are not of very IA
vorable character, still there is good business
going forward in the more important branche.
of trade, and workmen are tolerably we'll em.
Ployed.
Freights are much in the same state as at the
sailing of the last packat, somewhat dull, and
in the rates no alteration.
