ADDITIONAL BY THE CANADA AT HALIFAX.
Our cotton market has been in singular and I'M
natural state this week. For some time past there
has been such general desire TO sell, that the
weekly decline in prices was unprecedented; but
this week the conduct of holders in pressing sales
was such that crisis was inevitable. One great
cause OF the rapid decline in our market, indeed
the principal cause, must be attributed TO the Or
ders received from shippers of cotton in the United
States to sell, irrespective of price, but OF course
expecting, when such orders were given, lid to I'd
per pound above our present rates, the practical
effect of which was, that with perhaps $4,000
bales daily on sale, and only demand for 5000 or
40O0 it followed as matter of course that almost
each sale effected was at decline upon the prece-
ding one As the reduction in price, SO far from
inducing buyers to take large quantity, almost
invariably had contrary effect. The market has
at length taken turn. There are plenty of buy
ers, and no longer an impotence 10 sell. Prices of
American descriptions, however, are still I'd per
pound lower than quoted in our last circular. al.
though there is a recovery of I'd per pound upon
sales made on Monday and Tuesday last.

The trialof Scott, one Of the Shadrach rescuers,
II 1sipg on in Boston. John P. Hale is conduct
ng the defence. After considerable arSpm~ns ~
coanseI the followius -qurstions were put before
qualifying the jurymen:
l. Have yon formed or expressed an opinion
against the consiiiutonality Of the Fugitive Slave
Law? r
2. Would such doubts prevent you from finding
verdict Of guilty, if the Court should instruct you
that the law is constitutional?
Z 3. Do you hold any opinion in regard to the
Fugitive Law, which would prevent you from find
ing verdict, if the facts proved against the
accused, and the Court should instruct you that
the law Is CONSTITUTIONAL
After satisfactorily responding to the above ques-
lions, jury was empanelled, eight of whom are
residents Of Boston, two Of Chelsea, and two OF
Charleaton. The first thirteen counts charge the
prisoner with aiding Shadrach to escape, stated in
IN different ways. The last three of resisting a.

CLERICAL DIsoUALiFIcATIoNs.-By the pres
ent Constitution of Virginia ,clergymen ofall demon.
nations are disqualified from holding seats in the
Legislature, or indeed any civil office. In the Con.
vention now in session, we see that an abortive
effort has been made to change all this In giving
the proceedings of Tuesday last, the Richmond
Examiner states that " an effort was made to move
the disqualification which now keeps ministers Of
the Gospel from Office in Virginia; but the Conven-
ton very properly, and by large majority, deter
mined to preserve the provisions ofthe Constitution
upon that point. Mr.. Francis Scott though him
self clergyman, made a very handsome and q
very able speech against its removal"

The CANAL ELECTION IN NEw YoRK.-The
feckiess conduct of twelve New York Senators in
Sgnng their trusts, that the bill for the enlarge
ment Of the Erie Canal might be defeated, caused
q special election in their districts, which was
held on the 9th of last month. Nearly all (f not
alD Of the recreant Senators were candidates for
reelection. All Of them are democrats, and have
been opposed by wings who favor the enlargement
as measure of great public importance The
New York Commercial Advertiser Of the 18th
gives partial returns, enough to show that suili.
cient number Of the recusant Senators are allowed
TO stay at home 10 secure the Canal Bill agans,
another such escdpdde.

A CoNFLAGRArIoN.-Yesterday morning

A CONFERENCE.-The morning, at
about a quarter before six o'clock, fire was dis
covered in the shop of Mr.. Moran, carpenter, en-
Claiborne street, which unfortunately destroyed
considerable property, and did damage to the
amount of $4,000 or $4,000. Soon after the fire
was seen, an alarm made, and several Of the
Engines Of the Fire Department Were upon the
spot, but for want of ready supply of water,
their usefulness very much injured. In the
mean time, on went the destructive element, with
great rapidity, communicating in a short time from
the shop to Mr.. Moran's dwelling house, and then
with two new two-story brick houses, belonging 10
Mr.. Silvia, on Jackson street. which We're all de-
'~ssOy~u, atu properly OF the occupants, Mrs.
Doliman and Mrs Brady, much injured. A house
belonging to Mr.. p Jones, and which adjoined the
houses of Mr.. Silvia, was also destroyed, as were
a small row of houses belonging to Mr.. Tor, on
Claiborne street. The flames at one time were
very threatening, and they appeared to jeopardise
the Catholic Church, on Canal street, and other
buildings as they burnt with great fury above the
tops of the highest houses in the neghborhood.
The property is said not to be insured sufficiently
to cover the damage.

CONVENIENT ARTIcLE.-A garment has
been recently invented in France, which suggests
itself as most convenient article for gentlemen
whose stock Of linen is rather small. 1t is called
the Revolver Shirt.
"By turning round little, to the right or left
it is made to display, in succession, the follow ny
round of fronts, viz /. A colored front. 2. A
plain front. 8 A dress front. 4. A dshabille
front Thus admirably combining four shirts in
one. Could anything be more economical"

at last fall, uuhappily, let it be said that she
foremost fighting fell"
Mr.. Pavne thought that special notice OF
Texas should be made in those resolutions, as he
knew. from communications he had received, that
the people of Texas were willing to meet the line
at any point in their own State and carry II ior-
ward:
Judge Moore then moved that the following
resolution be added to the series, which was
carried:
Resolued, That the said committee be required
to correspond with the authorities OF Texas, for
the purpose of inviting that State to direct her
public works so as to meet the extenson OF the
NewOrleans, Opelousas and Attakapas Railroad.
The whole series of resolutions were then put
to the Convention, and carried unanimously. :
Mr.. Martin was call ed on to address the Con-
vention, but declined.
Mr. Sever then rose, at the call of few mem
bers, and addressed the delegates energetically
for a considerable time, prasing the enterprise,
and lauding the zeal of the people in railway
movements. He was much cheered.
DR.. J. L. Hawkins, of ST. Mary, proposed the
resolution, which was unanimously
carried:
RESOLVED, That this Convention do earnestly
recommend the Legislature of the State Of Louis.
lana to enact such laws, in its next session, as will
submit the question of taxation for the building Of
railroads TO the people of the different parishes in
terested in their construction.
Mr. Martin moved that the proceedings of the
Convention be printed in pamphlet form, which
was carried.
Mr.. King proposed that thanks be voted to the
preliminary committee for their exertions In carry
ing out so efficiently the arrangements for the
Convention, which was carried.
A vote of thanks was proposed to the President
which was carried with applause, and Mr.. White
responded briefly.
| Thanks were voted to the Council for the use oil
the room, to the Gas Company for the use of The
gas. and to the Press, and the motion was unan
mously carried.
Mr.. Cohen then moved that the Convention ad
