She sailed from the latter port on the 9th ult.
She gives us TWO days later intelligence.
Tn a commercial point Of view it IS not only
interesting, but important.
According to the cotton report Of the 7th ult.,
that staple in Liverpool had advanced one. eighth
million of dollars in the value of the rhole cotton
crop of this country.
The sales were very large.
The Montezuma, Niagara and Now World
were still at sea neither had reached Liver
pool.
The statements in the Russian papers that
| Schamyl had been beaten by the Russian gene
| rails, are contradicted.
| The cholera was making dreadful havoc in
Bsgdad; it was taking northery direction

that M. Won Kamptz had been commissioned to
proc eed Immediately to Vienna, there to regulate
! the commercial relations of Sesa, in reference

| The Austrian Observer of the 1st ult., declared
that it is authorized to announce that no secret
treaty has ever existed between Prussia, Austria
and Russia, relative to the republic of Cracow.
Very little business was transacted in the
French Three per Gents on the 9th ult., in the

Spain has gone through all The phases
of q ministerial crisis in the short space
of twenty-four hours. M. Isturitz and his col
leagues have been put out OF Office The Marquis
de Viluma having had honor of being called on to
form new Cabinet, has failed, and M. Isturitz
and his colleagues are replaced in their former
positions. All this, we repeat, occurred in
one short November day All this hubbub took
place on the 18th of Nov.
