Trade and Basiness.-Sinee the termination
of the Christmas holidays and the return gilmore
favorable weather, business has began 10 revive,
and our-dealers during the past weel. hase been
engaged in very fairtrade.
Grocerfes.-In the Grocery market he stocks
are generally very good-fully equal to the de-
mand, which, during the week, has been very
fair. Prices in all the leading articles, Sugar,
Coffee, Moasses, Iron, &C.. are steady and well
maintained Salt is again becoming rather
scarce and holders have advanced their rates a
little, with which our quotations correspond.
ProUiSionS.-The Bacon market continues
well supplied, and prices are the same as last
quoted, except for Hog round, which has slight
ly advanced as our quotations will show. Lard
is shade lower. Fish has materially advan-
ced and our quotations have been made to con-
form to the current rates. The supply of Flour
continues abundant, and prices have undergone
no change except for City Mills which has adj
vanced to S. z Dbl.
Grain.-The demand for Corn and Wheat con-
tinuos good and our quotations are fully main
tanned.
Eccbaage.-Checks on the North are abun-
dant at par.
Freights-The river continues in fine navi-
gable condition, and the rates are the same as
last quoted-50 cents to Savannah and $l.00 to
Charleston z bale for Cotton.

Two weeks Later from Cal,forn,,-

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. THE steamship DAN
lei Webster, Capt GRAHAM, from San Juan de
Sicarauga, which port she left on the 2nd inst
arrived at her wharf in this city to-day. with aJ.
vices from San Francisco to December 18th.
two weeks later than those received bv the Fal
con.
The entire trip from San Francisco to New
| Orleans has been made in twenty-three days
being one of the most rapid ever accomplished.
The Daniel Webster brings about 100 pas
sengers, who have among them about $4,000
in gold
One of her passengers reports that the regu-
lar mail steamer to Panama would take in the
neighborhood of 100000 in gold.
The news from San Juan de Nicaragua is of
no special importance. The health of the place
was good and the transit across the IsthmuS new
er better-the trips being regularly made with
out any detention whatever. From California
the news is interesting, but there are no features
Of unusual Importance.
A number OF the passengers by the steam
ship City of Pittsburgh, DESTROYED by fire at
Valparaiso, had arrived at San Francisco
The rainy season had commenced in good
earnest throughout California, and at the date
of the departure of this steamer, the floods rem
dered many the roads wholly impossible.
The rains had however, but little interfered
with the operations OF the miners, who are rep
resented as doing very well. The greatest draw
back to them was the continued high prices of
food-the want of which many of them fell Sc
verely.
The market for nearly every description Of
produce had largely advanced since the depar-
ture Of the steamer of the lSt.
The greatest advance that had been realized
was the price of -four, which commanded fg-
ureS never before heard of since the the discov-
cry Of the State.
Provisions were very scarce and held at rates
too high to admit of operation, except for the
supply of actual wants.
The general feeling in the market was, in
consequence of this rapid advance, quite inani-
mate.
An organization of robbers had been discov-
cred in Los Angeles county, who carried on
their operations to such an extent as to excite
the fear of the whole neighborhood Plans
were therefore adopted for their capture, which
wege successful, and several of them were exc
cuted.
Sacramento had been almost entirely rebuilt
and the appearance of the city is greatly i'm
proved. The clipper ship Sea Witch Capt
Fraser, which left New York August 10th, had
arrived at San Francisco.
Our advices from the Sandwich Islands are
10 days later.
The only news OfimpOrtance is the occurrence
of serious riot among the seamen connected
with several American whaling vessels in port
At the latest accounts, however, the riot had
been quelled.

Railroad about noon day, whereby the Presi-

Andover, in Massachusetts,, the train was thown

the bottom Of the embankment. The cars at
the time were filed with passengers, among
whom were Gen. Pierce, his lady and only son,
an inteli gent boy of ten years. Gen. Pierce
was the first to eXtricate himself from the frag-

atoms: and though sound in limb,h complained
of considerable pain in his back. His son was
instantly crushed to death. Mrs Pierce recei-

@AVAA AAS ShdtLduOORd ADVERTISER.
We publish the following with the hope that
it may convey some desirable information to the
shippers and producers of East Tennessee:
CHARLESTON, Jan. 5, 1853.
MeSsrs. Editors.-Dear Sirs: We have been
informed by some of our friends that they would
stop shipping produce to this markt, if the rail
roads viii not pay for what they loose on the
road. We have looked in to the matter more
closs and say to our friends that we will hold
ourselys responsible for shipments made to us,
viz: if there is any thing short we will make all
right.
We would remark that we have done great
deal in the last two months to get matters right;
you have no conception how difficult it is to get
along with these railroads When the connec-
ton at Augusta is made (which viii be by lst
February then produce viii come through in
lots.
We would say shippers must not be discoura-
ged but have some patience. They expect ear
ly returns, but when the produce does not get
here some times three and four weeks after it is
shipped how is this possible. We would re-
mark that those who ship corn, oats, four &C.,
should be very particular in putting all in ship
ping order.
Corn should be put in strong Osnaburg or
Ginseng sacks, when put in the latter kind,
should be sewed with bagging twiHe.
Shippers do not know their interest in paying
so little attention, as there is good deal of
waste.
Corn shipped in this FIVE cents homespun will
not do at ALL
We are now shipping 5000 sacks corn to
Liverpool part of an order which we received,
the order being for $4,000.
England will want yet large quantity of
corn and -four, and prices on the other side are
looking up. As soon as freights define produce
will 90 up.
We have to pay 20 cents freight on corn and
IS cents on -four, when in ordinary times corn
is taken out from to 10 cents per pushel.
We anticipate large orders from Europe for
corn, the stocks there being very light more
having been shipped from this country this sea-
son, but they must have it. but will have to pay
for it.
Flour and corn shipped from this country to
Europe is as follows, from lst September up to
l4th December 1852
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .627 SOP bbls.
Wheat. .....................l,9 1895, 2O6 bushels.
Corn........................~ 95,O23
AT the same time in 1851.
Flour. ,O37 bbls.
Wheat 699,2l6 bushls
Corn ..................... 3l3,41l
Thus you will perceive only 1923 bushels
corn have been shipped this year, against 49,,
last year: now their stock is light and they must
get their supply from some quarters.
Flour in this market 1918; Corn 65; Oats
45(050. Yours very truly, NH&C Co.
