Here are twenty.nine of some Of the finest vessels
afoat sticking in the mud, with cargoes amounting
to 50 600 bales Of cotton 1,772 hogsheads tobacco,
2,l99 hogsheads sugar. 1878 barrels molasses, and
articles not enumerated and casting up in value ex
ceeding six millions of dollars. For thirty Thousand
dollars per year judciay expended this channel can
be opened year with another. There is also de.
tanned outside of the bar twenty vessels inward
are over ten millions Of dollars Of property now jeo
pardizeds Our citizens thought that the large ap
preparation Of 100000 would at least prove Of some
little advantage to our neglected city Fifty sail Of
vessels will now be detained at our evee awaiting
change in the channel as it is folly for ship to pro-
coed attempt to proceed to sea under present cir
cumstances. The ship Frank Pierce cleared on the
9th December, and ought to have been in Liverpool
before this time. The ship Malabar for Boston
cleared the 3lst December. There are other great
and important considerations involved. Exchange
has been drawn against the cargoes, which, with
shps disbursements drafts the way hither for
payment and we might bring forward column of
annoyances and injuries to the trade OF city and
commerce. Northern ard Eastern shipowners will
suffer with u.s. and it behooves them to apply through
their immediate Representatives, with our own dele
cation in Congress, for relief. ia
As for the sugar detained the talk is that the loss
in weight will be large Whether it is shipped for
planters account or purchased for speculation we
cannot say. 49,.
| OF course, among the large concourse yesterday,
there was ak Of cotton, and the in re-
cepts will this morning be so close to q million of
bales that there will be jest about it, In the mean
time, the stock is accommodating, but factors cannot
sell sand and leaves for cotton. There was nothing
later from Europe announced last evening.
| ADJUSTMENTS LAST EVENING.
! THE VARIETIES Americans in Paris, or Game
Of Domnoes" was repeated last night to good
house. This comedy is rattling little affair of the
latest modern style Of the comic drama, in two acts.
| None of the characters are very extraordinary or
eccentric; all are commonplace, everyday men and
women, and the play is thus made dependent for its
effective comicalities upon the incidents and contre
temps which resulted from jealous wfe's suspicious
of her husbands loyalty In investigating this, she
goes in mask and domino to masquerade, finds him
there, watches him, cross-questions him, torments
| him with her ncognito. He is Arthur Morris, (Mr,
Jordan) one of the +" Americans In Paris,'' and she
Aeia (Mrs. Boyce) another; the others, old Doctor
Botherer, (Mr. Mark Smith) and his wife Annie,
(Miss Susan DENIM The burthen of the play proper
is with these four an unimportaut byplay being car
ried on by three Partisan gentlemen represented by
Messrs. Davenport, Macrae and Duncan. Mr.. Daven-
port makes more of his part, Mons. Lamouret than
any other actor we know of would, from the fact
that he rattles it through, with easy naturalness
of aectaton-for the character is that OF an affected
Partisan butterfly, good-natured vain and q bore
without seemingly trying to make anything Of it.
As simple DR.. Botherer, Mr.. Mark Smith was i'm
mensely funny, and as Mrs. Botherer, Miss Denim
was very charming. Mr.. Jordan and Mrs. Boyce
both played very well. In ITSELF the play is very
little, some Of it-especally the d-ns, which are
numerous enough to damn it-worse than nothing
but as put upon the stage and performed, it is CON
siderable, in fact, card" We never saw on any
stage anything brought out with greater ease and
elaboration, than this petit comedy The scenic ar

The Sr. CHARLES was crowded with multitude
eager to be entertained by the droeres and aglitie

the character of the performances. The troupe il
