derstand the Steamer Albany, Capt.
Gagef. was boarded at one OF the wes-
tern ports by a large delegation of
white and colored gentlemen on their
way to participate in the deliberations
ot that august assemblage.-The Cap,
tain saw at once the mixed character
of.his new passengers, and determined
TO cultivate habits Of consistency among
them He took possession of the state-
room keys, and went about his busi.
ness. AT the proper time for giving
out state rooms, he had the party all
mustered in the cabin, and commenced
by selecting a colored delegate and
white one, and designating sta!e-rooms

giving to the colored gentleman in
each instance the charge Of the key.
There was no dodging the determine

the dinner bell rang, the party moved
indiscriminately towards the table, but
the colored persons were admonshed
BY the Captain that they could not, un
der the rules Of his boat. take seats at
the first table. The white abolitionists
protested that colored man was as
good az white man. avery well,'
replied the Captain, II don't think So
and as you do, you can wait and eat
with them" They waited. and the
delegation ate together, thereby, under

The business to-day, amounts to between
$4,000 and 10000 bales, the principal part of
it on speculation. Prices are firmly support
ed.
The Liverpool Standard, Of the 18th, IN an
article entitled the 'Cotton Crisis,n says;
The state Of aar Cotton Market during the
past week has shown most conyincingIy the
fact noticed y Ia last week, that the ~spinners
and manufa urers are completely in thepower
of3the cap alists, by whom the. bulk of the
cotton at Pressnt'in the kingdom is held. The
sales of this important raw material for the
week, up to Friday, were close upon $4,000
bales, or nearly five times the weeks consump-
ton A large portion of this has Of course
gone into the hands of spectators, at a fuT@

course a profit must be paid upon it to such

ly expectation Of the Great Western gave a
peculiar feature to an already excited cotton
municipalities buying or selling according to
their own feelings as to the probable tenor Of
her accounts. This caused a very irregular
market; and although twenty thousand bales
changed hands. il was at prices botheaboye and
below the rates current on Friday. Operations
were continued to a late hour, and the steamer
being teIegraphed only added fuel to the fre
and so late as eight o'clock, the News.room
was crowded with anxious expectants for the

The effect produced by the Great Westerns

Later from the Army.

Col. Kinney arrived at Tampico on the 10Th
inst, direct from Victoria, He entered that
town with Gen. Quitman on the evening Of the
9th inst, and not on the 18th, as we said ia an
extra sem Off yesterday. Gen. Quitman drove
the enemy before him for the last forty or fifty
miles before getting to Victoria. The Mexicans
were rslpetant to give up the place. As GEN.
Quitman entered the town, the Mexicans were
going ont on, the other side. Gen. @. had no
cavalry and could not pursue them Col, K.
speaks in the warmest terms of the prompt and
Epldiefly conduct Of this officer.
Col. Kinney parted from Gen, Taylor at
Monte Morelles, and pushed on with
Gen. Quitman to Victoria. From thence he
made his way, almost alone to Tampico, to-
king Soto la Marina in his route, accomplish
ing nearly a distance of25O miles in three days
and narrowly escaping from the advanced pgr-
ties of the Mexicans on several occasions.
We have no reason to suppose that Gems.
Butler and Worth have moved from Saltilla, as
was reported in town yesterdaymQrnng, We
believe them, together with Gen. Wool, to
have been still there or in the vicinity as late
asthe LIST inst. with at least 5000 troops,and we
further believe thafa division of the Mexican
Army was not far off, watching our movements
and ready to take advantage Of any favorable
opportunity which circumstances may afford.
1t may be that the Mexican soldiers seen in
the neighborhood Of SaliIlo, are the advanced
parties of a force Of some 1000 or 1000 men
kept in position'on this side of the desert, be-
tween Saltillo andSan Luis, to destroy the wa
ter tanks in case the American army shoulc
move in the direction Of the latter city
There is little doubt, as we learn from pri
vate letters, that there was a large Mexican
force-probably mostly cavnlry-atT ula atlas
dates, all under command of Gen. Valencia
Generals Urea, Romero, Fernandez, and 9th
ers, are also reported to be in the vicinity.
may be recollected that our last accounts from

How Mr.. JONES FAILED. = There is much
truth in the following little sketch, which we
find going the rounds without any credit:
There once lived in the good city of Boston
a certain Mr.. Jones. THIS same Mr.. Jones was
an eccentric man--very much so, and among
his many other peculiarities was that Of falling
in business once in every two years. Some
people now-a-days have the same extraordina[
ry habit. Mr. Jones always paid his creditors
fifty per cent; no more nor no less than just
fifty per cent. A very d%ignifod and very POM
pous man was Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Jones failed
again, made an assignment of his goods as
usual, and was very much surprised when his
assignee said to him, @Mr. Jones, we gAall de.
clare a dividend Of forty per cent" eSir,O
said Mr.. Jones in a very d~ignitied manner, YOU
must make it fifty, sir. ! dhoays pay fifty cents
on the dollar, STRIP ut can't be done,n says
the assignee. "It shall be DONE" said MI.
Jones, elevating his right hand. 1Wc have
no. enough property in our hands to do it"
said the assignee. sSir,s' said Mfr. Jones, sde-
clare fifty per cent. | always pay City per
cent.-and, sir, if you have not sufficient pro.
perty in your hands to pay fifty per cent, !, cir,
will pay the balance out Of my cwn pocket.n

war Movements.

The utmost activity prevails in the Quarter
masters and other departments in this city, ex-
pediting troops, provisions, stores, etc, to the
coast Of Mexico--a feet of transports and
store ships is now preparing, and is to be ready
by Goth inst,-the ships are generally Of large
size and among the finest in port-they are
each to take on board four months water and
provisions for 400 meh-they are chartered by
the Government for three months and their
destination is kept perfectly secret, nor will
their orders be opened until after they getto
sea.
II would appear to be a special expedition,
that will assemble at some common rendtz-
vous, and the whole force employed will be
about 10000 men, of which the large portion
will go from this port-one regiment we under
stand will embark at Mobile, and we presume
the regiments from the Atlantic States will
come round by sea, to join the main body on
the Mexican coast.
We do not pretend to have any correct idea
where the storm is to burst, but we hope on
the city and castle of Vera Cruz, and as Gen.
Scott has returned to the coast after visiting
Monterey and seeing Gen. Taylor, we presume
the expedition, whatever may be the object,
will Bc under his immediate command Wen
