The European intelligence brought by the Europa

street, as well as in financial circles Some hundreds

another advance. be protected from loss. Exchange
dealers, or rather bill holders, partook of the glad
some intelligence The sales Of cotton for the week
ending on the Sd inst. reported at 81 500 bales
The socaled thermometer consos had declined even
under the favorable commercial aspect. Breadstuis
had also declined The war and political advices
received do not indicate any suspension Of hostlities
among the various beligerents in fact they appear
to be just getting their hands In The stock of cotton
is now reduced in market to so 900 bales, good
share OF which is sold, but undoubtedly would be
res old If an advance could be realized The greatest
interest is now felt in the future of the Liverpool
ket.
The European mails by the Africa were received
in part yesterday The private correspondence reads
rather unfavorably, but forebodngs are removed by
the character of the Europa's advices.
There were some few transactions yesterday in the
staple. The supply however, in first hands is very
eagre, and, Of course, will remain SO until the new
crop is made. The transient buyers, Bears that

ago sgd and Cd. for Liverpool Middngs. We do not
discern line on the long roll Of dispatches in regard
to tobacco. The operators in the weed (the buyers
for exportation) seem to have the market at this
moment under their control, Notwithstanding low

There is great falling off in the number of vessels

tertaned that the shipping interest may revive under
a demand expected for Europe during the war.
We notice that the good old ship Vicksburg, built
in NewYork in 1884, Qwenty-f years ago) through
E. X. Collins, and the late james Fisher, Jr. for the
Louisiana and New York line packets, and has been
constantly employed in the New York and New Or
leans trade for that long period with only one or two
exceptions has been sold for $6eO0 She has recently
been cleared with cargo of slaves for France We
wish the good old ship and owners the usual fortune
which has attended her career. There is another
ship Of this line still in existence, built in the same
year. the MissssippD under foreign flag, which
has been in our port. She is another good vessel
The following the of that line of packets
the ships Huntsville, Nashville, Natchez, Louisville
and Vcksburg, followed by the Yazoo and Shaks
peare. The original FIVE ships were mostly owned
in this city. 1t may now be deemed very strange
that line of steam propelers cannot be started to
run between our port and Liverpool. There does not
appear to be much enterprise and feeling for in
vestments in shipping in our community as there
were twenty-five and thirty years ago. Though there
are several fine vessels now owned by our citizens
yet the increase from the foregoing period forms
slender comparison compared to the mighty increase
of the trade and exports of our city.
The mail via Mobile was received yesterday-that
due via Jackson failed somewhere. The next steamer
from Europe will probably be the Anglo.saxon for
Quebec of the Sth the Kangaroo Of the same date
for New York.
