"a It is stated that the laws passed during
the late session Of Congress are being Pnblish-
ed in very defective form, and errors Of the
graFest nature are Incorporated in them, A
Washington letter writer observes that the naval
act is made to authorize the ex-
penditure Of the enormous sum Of $18,412, 900;
but AS published, it is replete with the grossest
errors. Thus in addition to the S3,OOO,0Oo
by special act Of the last session
of Congress for the construction Of six war
steamers, $4,000, 600 are now appropriated for
continuing the work upon them, making the es-
timated cost of the whole over $4,000, 900 or
more than 100000 for each vessel. The
same letter says: "A cursory examination Of
the civil and diplomatic appropriation act shows
is amount to be not far from $l4,600,0 900. The
army bill, independently of the new regiments,
provides for an annual expenditure Of about
SIC, 100000. It's aggregate amount is $12,-
300 900. What the total Of the appropriations
made may be is not yet ascertained."

NEW ORLEANS MARKET.

COTTON.---The week opened with . fair
demand considering the poor assortment on the
q ors tables and the limited receipts, and the
sales for the first three days embraced 1900
bales. On Wednesday the demand became ac-
tive, which can only be attributed to the inn
preston that the Atlantic, the steamer Of the
10th inst, which was fully due, would bring a
considerable advance in consequence Of the
death Of the Emperor Of Russia. The salesin
consequence reached 1900 bales, establishing
an advance Of I-4c., purchased previous to the
Atlantic's advices which did not reach town un-
I'll o'clock r. III. These adyices which we
publish in an extra edition, fell Far short Of the
expectations of spectators, and the sales yes
tefday RED he'd $500 bales. To-day the demand
was confined to few parties and the sales had
barely reached $500 bales when the adviees By
the Asia, the steamer Of The 9TH inst, snspend-
ed all further transactions. The sales previous
Ii made showed decline Of l-4a1-2c., and we
reduce our quotations l-4c. on the qualities, be-
low Good Middling. The purchases have been
chiefly for France and The North but it is gener-
orally supposed that SPECTATORS were not disin-
ferested spectators on "Wednesday last The
week closes languidly at our reduced figures.
