SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3, 1856.
Business.

1t was active yesterday everywhere. The mild
weather has great influence on things in general,
moreover the cotton factors in good spirtsthat
is about half the consideration nowadays. The ad-
vices by the Niagara from Liverpool to the effect
that there is to be breaking down in cotton on the
other side Of the Atlantic, nor do we to convey
the impression that prices to advance on this side
but both markets. Liverpool and New Orleans seem
to be approximating to that comparative standard
which will relieve the cotton trade Of much hazard
embarrassment and perplexity. Oar latest dates
direct from Liverpool, are to the 9Th December.

A CCRIosITY.-A few weeks ago Charles Schoch
Of New PHILADELPHIA o., was cutting into large
log, when his axe struck a cannon Ieaden slug
weighing 81 pounds, which was imbedded in solid
wood about five Or six inches from the surface The
tree from which this slug was taken grew in the
river bottom about two miles from that town, and
near where Gen. Wayne and his army encamped
during the summer of 1874, when he marched to the
Northwest Territory to attack the Miami Indians
The probability is that it was fired from one of hi:
cannons and lay embedded for more than half 4
century.

The TENSEssEE.--It appears doubtful whether any
aid really sent to Walker by the Tennessee from
New York. The New York Evening Post says it is
certain that nothing in the shape of and amuni
ton went and the Philadelphia Ledger states that a
large party OF recruits who assembled at the depot to
take train for New York were disappointed by the
recruiting officers who did not he their appearance
with the passage money probably III consequence OF
the close watch kept by Government officials. Among
those who sailed in the Tennessee, we see the name
Of Gen. Wheat formerly Of this city.

PASSENGERS OF THE LyoNNAIsE SAyED.-We
find the following i'll the New Haven Journal Of the
24th ut.:
On the arrival of the Canada at Halifax yesterday,
Mr. Leonard Bradley, of this city, received tele-
graphic dispatch conveying the cheering intelligence
n-law and daughter, Mrs. Bailey, who were passen-
gers in the steamer Lyonnaise, were saved, and had
arrived safely at Bordeaux, France, with fifteen
others from the steamer. Mrs. Strong and her friends
it will be remembered, were in the boat of the cap
tain of the steamer, and it is this one, therefore,
which has been secured.

A DISASTROUS TKIP.-The following account is
derived substantially from the officers of the steamer
Saracen, which arrived yesterday from ST. Louis 3:
Left St. Louis 2lst of December weather clear and
cold ice running fast. On the sd, the wind blow
ing hard and ice running fast, grounded or st.
Geneveve Bar, three miles below the town. Every
possible effort was made to get her of, and in these e
the river falling fast and ice running heavy the cap
tain took the yawl and with the second mate and two
men attempted to make the shore, which they suc-
ceeded in doing: the captain proceeded up the river
about five miles where he found two boats lying up
endeavored to procure their assistance, but failed
Capt Sten then started to return 10 his boat but the
yawl got ammed in the floating ice, and they drited
down five miles, narrowly escaping with their lives
and finally being obliged to abandon the yawl, and
reach the shore by means Of the ice.
The captain then again went to the steamer Kate
Sache and begged assistance for the sake of his pas
sengers but it was refused. He then returned to the
shore opposite to his boat and ordered the deck
load thrown overheard the only chance of saving
her. which was done. The steamer Mayfeld passed
but refused either to take the captain and his
board Or lend them a yaw by which to reach thei
own boat, so they were compelled to remain there
all night, at the risk Of freezing. The Cora Andersen
passed down and was hailed. but paid no attention
They finally got the boat off at P NJ. the next day
having been aground three days and five hours. Sh
entered a protest at Cape Girardeau.

ARRIVAL OF ENGLISH SETTLERs.-Several English
men, late Crmean soldiers, left New York to settle in
Southwestern Virginia, following several who have

South, and assure the people of Virginia that they

A MoRMoN.-We are told on most undoubted au.

the husband bestows every favor upon them, taking
them both with him to the theater, concerts, etc.

TIE WRECK OF THE ARCTIC.-The schooner Mentor
Capt. Conley, of New York lately to anchor in
fortyve fathoms water, in latitude 46 H. longitude
not remembered, on the western edge of the Grand
Bank, about fifty miles from land, and found that he
had dropped his anchor on a wreck. On heaving
over the fish lines they became entangled in wreck
matter at about four five fathoms from the bottom,
and the particles found adherng to the hooks appear
ed to be portions of rigging. 1t will be remembered
that the steamship Arctic sunk in September, 1854
within very short distance of the anchorage chosen
by the Mentor, and there be little doubt that the
wreck discovered was that of the Inflated steamship.
