DEPRAvED HUMAN NATURE.-The town OF

great CONSERVATION by the elopement Of a

very delicate toward the cloth y with Miss Cath

| EX-SENATOR JONES, who was appointed Min

cred an intended declination, and concluded
to serve his country at the rate of $1,000 PEI

was sent in, still the fact is notorious here tina
provision of some sort was expected for him
after the close Of his Senatorial term, whicl

BAR AT THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI
The Picayune, of the 5th, gives a list Of vesse
detained inside of the bar on the I'd, awaitin
chance to go to sea. The vessels aground o
the bar bound out, and those outside bound il
are not included in the list, and yet that lii
reaches the number of thirty three, some I
which cleared from New Orleans as long ago {
the 18th of January. The amount Of cotto
, on board is 95,092 bales, and Of tobacco 2,9t
hhds., besides other cargoes. The estimate
D value of the cargoes, vessels and freights, al
1 sumed at $7,250,000. 1t would, no doubt,
safe to assume the value of those on the b
and outside at as much more, or say total
S $15, 100000. The interest on this amount
. the thirty days of detention already passed,
the average, is, at the usual rates, $4,000
s But New Orleans does not now feel the full O.
tent of this loss; her merchants have draw
upon their bills of lading, and lose nothing
9 the exports, except in so far as protested bill
|
j., the consignees in Liverpool, who are purchase
of -sixths Of the entire cargoes in detentio
:, Liverpool rates average about one-fourth p
a cent. per month so that Liverpoo's loss on
' purchases for the thirty days detention
It $4,000, and will continue at the rate of So
O per day till relief is offered. Liverpool dc
| business on a much less margin than New Q
leans.
