The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to
about 800 bales in lots which indicated decline of
tc. a &c. per h. on lower grades and about &c. on
the higher qualities, though the market could not
be said to have fairly opened since the last news;
hence the prices were somewhat irregular. Com
mon and medium grades Of -four advanced about
12a cents per barrel. Among the sales were 5000
sacks, equal to about 500 barrels flour, received
from California, made from wheat grown and ground
in that State. Its quality, however, was probably
affected by the long voyage it had endured in the
close hold of the vessel; and hence it only ranked
with inferior State, and sold at 81 per bbl About
5000 bushels Of California wheat, here and to
arrive, (t was reported,) also sold at 81 IS
a 81 SO. Southern red wheat sold at 81 Is

sold at ssc. 9lc., chiefly at s9c. soc. Rye
sold at l1lc. LAC. There was some specula-
tive feeling in pork and sales were pretty freely
made on the spot, and for future delivery, buyers

also firm. Sugars again advanced sc. &C., and the
Gales reached about 200 400 hdds. Cuba musco-
vado, $50 do. New Orleans, and about 1000 boxes.
Owing to the want Of full supplies of -four and grain
and Improvement in prices, freights to English ports
continued firm, but engagements were moderate.
There were free offers for shipments in October at
3D. for grain to Liverpool, and -four for London was
contracted for at IS. per barrel.
Col. Kinncy's Progress In Central Anne rica---
That Extraordinary Letter OF Mr.. White.
Among our general outside intelligence, we
publish to-day several interesting letters from
Greytown, touching the progress of Col. Kin
ney in the golden opinions Of the official au
thorities of the State of Nicaragua. If our
correspondence is not exaggerated (and we
have no reason to suppose that it is), Col. Kin
ney is in fair way to turn the tables COM
pletely upon the Nicaragua Transit Company
and Senor Marcoleta, the Minister from that
country to this. Certainly the gallant Colonel
has been making some extraordinary discove-
ries since his arrival at his present destination,
not the least of which is the discovery OF Il
very nspicuous if not the most responsible,
party to the bombardment of Greytown We
refer to a certain extraordinary letter, recently
brought to light in proclamation OF Col.
Kinney, which is as follows:-

Now we had supposed that Major Borland Of
Arkansas, late our Minister to Nicaragua Gun
der general rowing commission including all
Central America), was the real instigator Of
the bombshelling and burning out Of Mr..
Pierce's . camp Of savages at Greytown. We
know, at all events, that Major Borland got
into row among those 9 savages that some
of them, forgetting the dignity of his position
| and the power Of the United States, broke q
whiskey bottle over his nose-that the Major
| was indignant at the outrage, and az fast as
steam would carry him, repaired TO Washing
ton and laid the case before the President; and
that shortly thereafter Captain Hollns, with
the United States sloop-ofwar Cyane, went
down 30 Greytown and reduced that camp OF
savages " to ashes. But in spite Of these facts,
it appears that Mr.. Joseph i. White had good
deal more TO 90 with the affair than even Me-
| jor Borland; and the reasons upon which, in
| the foreg&ing letter. it is recommended that
the scoundrels" If Greyiewn :" be soundly
punished are Of the most logical consistent
and practical kind.
We are LED to some other natural concu-
sians from this remarkable lettes Of Mr.. White.
For instance, < would appear TINT Mr.. White
and Mr.. Fabem were, ia the outset, Of the
same mind in reference to the burning on. of
