COTTOv MARKEr.-The following article
from Wilmer and Smiths European Times,
received b. the last foreign arrival, may
be ofinterest 10 some Of our readers:
The Cotton market closes with frmness.
The daily transactions are large, and the
sales Of the week amount to SO, 600 bales
large demand in the absence Of active
speculation, and most conclusive IS respects
the activity Of which the manufacturing dis
tTicts are the scene. An advance Of an
eighth on the middling classes Of American
has taken place. SpinneFs are said to be
taking large stocks, but il is questionable
whether they purchase beyond their imme-
date requirements.

0cTIIoN. JOHN BATrAILE says, in his let
ter to the Committee of Madison county,
ell is evident that we must rely for success
in the canvass upon the aid Of the intelli-
gent and patriotic Of the wbig paity-and
confidently expect that aid" Is this the
same Judge Battaile who (as we are ciedily
informed) has, on more than one occasion,
declared, that If he knew he was elected to
office, by the aid Of wing votes, he would
refuse TO accept? We ask for information ;
and If, as we suspect, he is the same indi>
vidual, we congratulate him upon the change
Of feeling. II being a candidate a few
weeks has wrought so great a change in his
feelings, what may we not expect before the
election takes placel The test which the
Judge applies for patriotism and intelli-
gcnce in the wing party, sOather a singular
one, and must have had its origin with Gen,
Briscoe.

DREADFUL CONFEDERATION IN N. York.
One Of the most destructive fires occurred
in New York, on the 10Th ult., that has
ever perhaps took place in that city. Pro-
perty to the amount Of S. or 81, O0O, 900
was destroyed. About 800 stores were
burnt, including large amount If goods,
besides many costly private dwellings, and
two large hotels. Many lives were lost.
The immediate distress caused By this cala>
nifty is represented TO be very great-a
great number who were rich are now poor,
and many poor families have had their little
all swept away. The amount Of insurance is
said to be about four millions. Some Of
the insurance Offices will doubtless be ruins
ed; it is understood, however, that many
Of them will promptly pay, and have large
capital left. The accounts represent the
portion Of the city destroyed as a most valu.
able and important part, being composed Of
large and costly buildings. filed with ex>
pensive merchandise. The French and
German merchants cOngregated principally
in that part Of the city which was burnt.
Broadway, on Sunday, from the City Hall
down towards Bowling Green, was filed
with dense and continued thFOng Of PEG.
pie, presenting one Ofthe most heterogeAe.
Gus scenes that can well be imagined, inter.
speTsed with groups and squads Of 6Iemen
and military. Thousands Of strangers visit
ed the city to get a sight at the scene Of
devastation, but all the avenues leading to

and police that very few went away grutiied
