EUROPEAN COTTON MARKET.

Since our last issue there have been several ar
rivals from Europe, bringing advices more favora-
bic than received for several weeks previous
The steamer africa arrived at New York on Friday
last, with dates from Liverpool, to the 18th ult.
This dispatch says:
"The sales Of cotton for the week amounted to
5000 bales, Of which spectators took $500
bales and exporters $500. The sales on Friday
were 10000 bales, of which spectators and ex-
porters each took 5000 bales. An average busi-
ness has been done during the week, but no quo
table change has been noticed in prices. Holders
offering freely, and closed steady-inferior grades
unsaleable Breadstuffs very dull. Provisions
have declining tendency"
The steamer North Britain arrived at Portland,
Me-, on Sunday last, with dates from Liverpool to
tho 7th ultimo. The sales Of cotton for the three
days previous to the sailing of the steamer amount
ed to 28, 900 bales, with slight advance on all
qualities. The Manchester advices were favora-
bic and the market was frmer. Breadstuffs were
dull and Provisions declining. As to the stete of
our domestic markets, we direct the attention Of
the reader to the news received by "Last Evenings
Mail" to be found in another column.

Manager Ulman, Of the Academy OF Music and
the Editors of the French Newspaper, Courier de'
Etat, Unis, are waging war of determination a.
gainst each other about the management OF the
Opera and the character Of Piccolomiui, all Of
which will undergo investigation in Court. The
battle is very much like that Of the mouse anu
frog in the fable-both making themselves ridicu-
lous and prey to the vulture.
An interesting case Of body snatchiug is about
to undergo investigation in Court. A man died
suddenly at his boarding house, unreclaimed by
his friends. The Demonstration Of Anatomy in the
University Medical College procured its transfer
to the dissecting room Of the College, where it
was submitted to the scalpel. In the meantime,
friends Of the deceased began search for the
body. The body, having been partially dissected'
was patched up as Medical Students best knew
how, for the examination which they foresaH
would disclose the whole matter to the public
The patched body was carried to BellevieW Hos
pital, where the deeeased's wife identified her
former husband in spite Of the medical patchwork.
Here the matter rests until further investigations.
Two Students of the above named College fought
duel, few days since, on nsighboring island.
They are reported as having discharged four shots
at each other, resulting in serious pistol.shot

THE TELEGRAPH TO CuDA.-The long talked Of
project Of establishing telegraphc communication
between the United States and Cuba, Is, We are
informed, about to be carried into effect. G. c.
Walden, ESQ, late Deputy Collector at New York,
Superintendent in this country Of the Cuban Tele-
graph Company, have received instructions from
HAVANA to commence tho construction Of the route
between Savannah and Fernandna, and Messrs
Mora Brothers & Favaro have placed the necessa-
ry funds at bis disposal.
With regard to the submarine portion of tho
line, the Company's Agent writes that the petit
ton Of the Company for concession of the privi-
ege has been received by the Spanish Ministry,
and that there is every reason to hope that il will
be graltsd. The Captain General Of Cuba has
endorsed the petition most strongly. and it Is con-
fidently expected that bis influence will be suffici
ept to secure the grant to the Mora company, in
preference to oil other applicants.
Advices from Madrid, do not, however, strength

3lst says that there are no less than seven appli
cations to the Government for the construction Of

DEATH FROM WANT OF SLEEP.-Ths question
how long can person exist without sleep, is one
oftener asked than answered, and the difficulties of
answering the question by experiment would
seem to leave il forever unsolved. A commuuica-
ton to British Society would seem to answer
the inquiry, in description Of o cruel mode Of
punishment, peculiar to the Chinese. A Chinese
merchant had been convicted Of numbering his
wife, and was sentenced to die by being deprived
of sleep. This painful mode Of death was carried
in execution, under the following circumstances ::
The condemned was placed in prison, under the
care of three Of the police guard, who relieved
each other every alternate hour and who preveu-
ted the prisoner from falling asleep night or day
he thus lived nineteen days without enjoying any
sleep. At the commencement Of the eighth day,
his sufferiDgs were so intense that he implored
the authorities to grant him the blessed opportu-
nifty of being strangulated, gullotned, burned TO
death, drowned, garroted, shot, quartered, blown
up with gun powder, or put to death in any con-
oeiysble way which their humanity or ferocity
could invent. Fhis will give slight idea Of the
horrors of death from want of sleep.

NEW YORK CORRESPONDENTS.

NEW YORK, November 26, 1858.
Yesterday was the seventy-sixth anniversary
Of the evacuation of N. Y. City by the British
troops. The day was celebrated with the usual
parade Of the splendid military companies that
reflect so much honor on this city. The troops
were in fine condition and passed the Governors
review with the, confidence Of regulars. The fa-
nous Seventh Regiment, recently armed with the
Minnie Musket, attracted universal attention.
The high state of discipline Of this body Of mi
litia challenges comparison with that Of any other
in the world. Gen. Paez, TIE Venezuelan patriot
recently recalled from exile, had concluded to
accent the invitation to review the troops. and
was on his way to join the Governors Staff, when
his horse fell with him three times in succession
dangerously wounding the veteran by dislocating
and crushing his foot. In consequence Of the
wound, he was not able to 'Bitness the review,
and it may be that he will not begin his voyage
to his native country, on tomorrow, as he anticl'
pated.
The city authorities generously rendered linn
the use of the Governors room, City Hall, to
hold his farewell levee, and hopeful friends had
bidden him God-speed home, whence an e1as'
perated country had ingloriously and unjusty
expelled him. His people have been slow to dc
him justice, and now his recall may be Of no
practical advantage to his country.
The State Arsenal, lately erected but not occu'
pied, exposed the manner i'll which contractors
execute their trusts in this tcnghted city. The
roof had just been put on, when the weak walls
refused to bear the superintendent weight and
dashed the roof and first story beneath, to the
ground in hopeless mass Of crushed brick and
mortar.
TheU. 8. Court has at last found local habi-
tation in the old and we'll known Chambers Stree,
Theatre, near the City Park, which has been over
hauled and fitted up for said Court, for valuable
consideration of "monish."
A few days ago congregation Of the blessed
calling themselves the "Southern Aid Society,"
met and reported "a gratifying state of Christian
conscience snd agency" amongst the negroes Of
the South. Such society might do to emanate
from the godly city of "Bosting," where charity
and religion are commodities, but for ouch an
"iustitution" to hail from the wicked town oi

WHITE sIAvERY.-The English Parliamentary
evidence of the condition Of the dressmaker's ap-

eighteen hours day is the allotted time for work
and during the height Of the season, young girls
are only allowed four hours repose, whom they are
reused to resume their toll. Strong coffee is ad-
miuistered to enable them to ply their needle for
twenty hours, without relaxation.
