be enabled 10 show large cash balances on the Let

There has been no change worthy of note in the
stock or bond market, and the present is no doubt
favorable time to purchase, as large amount Of
the money to be paid dividends on the lst jan
uary will be then seeking investment, and cause
an advance in bonds and stocks. Exchange on
England still maintains price that affords slight
profit to shippers of coin, and will remain until
commence shipments of provisions and cotton,
which have as yet been very small. The drain of
specie for the past two weeks will soon be coun-
terbalanced by receipts from California, which are
daily expected. Land warrantsare dull, with very
little demand.

The weather has somewhat modified day, but
ia still very cold, promising a good harvest of ice
from the present appearances Of the crop. Navi-
cation is almost entirely suspended, several of our
steamboats, being compelled to return yesterday
after proceeding few miles down the bay. The
steamer Columbia, from Washington, which left
Alexandria on Wednesday afternoon, was looked
for with much interest, but safely arrived this
morning.
A small dwelling in the vicinity of the city was
set fire to on Monday night last, and of the oc-
cupants, Mrs. Skies, was burnt up in the building
Fears also entertained that her daughter, who
has since been missing, also perished at the same
time. The husband and father left home few
days previous, and has not since been heard from.

The Freesoilers, from Maine to Kentucky and
North Carolina, perfectly happy and content
to follow the lead of Thomas II. Benton, Martin
Van Buren, Francis p. Blair, &c, and as by them
selves. under such leaders, they are too weak
to effect any thing, they perfectly willing to
come back into the folds Of the old Democratic
party. provided the latter, in return for such mag
nanimity, is willing to follow their lead.
Now, it has been ascertained that William o.
Butler is sufficiently of a northern man 10 be put
forward by Colonel Benton and his friends; while
the extremists Of the South, of the school of Jefier
Davis and others, declare themselves satisfied
with Butler being stakeholder. If the Freesoilers
and Disunionists can, in that way, sandwich the
old liner, they will give to the Government what
direction they please, both regards internal and
external affairs.
What the FTeesoiiers now want ID to appropriate
to themselves the name of the 'progressives," and
then start anew with the popular prestige in their
