Under the influence of telegraphic adyices of
this mornings date from New York, the Exchange
market received another knock down to-day. The
bottom is entirely out Of general exchange. Sight
on New York jumped up from dis. to par. Be-
tween o'clock yesterday and this morning the
demand was not SO very large, but several parties,
from the great decline in Sterling and Francs in
New York, are bound to lose largely unless the
difference can be made up (partially, at least) by
obtaining high rates for checks and sight on New
York. 1t would be something more than joke if
Northern funds should now advance to premium
and the gold lately received be toted" or express
ed back again. Such is, however, the freaks of
finance ana exchange at this moment. The counter
rate for checks on New York was steady at par
outside there was very little doing, and we quote
from par to 4@s dis. Sixty days sight nominal ia
fact, there were real quotations for sixty day
bills to-day. Sterling clear bills ruled from 162 to
I030l032 that is if there really could be any de-
| fined rates as a standard. Document bills ruled
from 98a to 100, though at late hour sale Of bills
| lading was reported below So; but we do not
vonch for the quotation, if we should recommend
the drawer to abandon, for there are no shipments
or operations that stand Sc, or even 9s or l00
Francs were also further depressed, going down to
. 60. 100000 in one sale were forced off at 55
good bills on Havre and Bordeaux We quote the
range from 60 to 50 and 478. Rather hard
times for sellers of exchange. This state of things
cannot last many days
The latest adyiees from Europe received during
the week were brought by the Canada, at Boston
from Liverpool. They were up to the Sd inst, the
sales footing up in that market for the week to the
large quantity of Ill, 800 bales, sending Mddliug
Orleans up to I'd, per the public dispatches while
private accounts say that the same qualities were
commanding I'D. These favorable adyees have.
however, been met with an adverse turn in our
market, oecasioned by the untoward movements in
exchange, which has declined to unprecedented
low rates. The next advices from Liverpool are
not regarded with so much interest, as our market
cannot assume the liyelness which characterized
it at the close of last week and the three first days
of this week, until there is a let up in the bill mar
ket. The receipts for this week foot up e3.otO
bales against $1,000 bales for The corresponding
week last year. The weekly price currents from
Mobile failed for to-day. The weekly receipts at
that port are omitted. The receipts at our leyee
for the coming three days will be large

BEAUTY AND THE BEAsT.-A very beautiful young
lady, living in fashionable neighborhood up town
engaged to an extensive beaes Ia Wall street one,
mind you) was to have been married to him few
days ago. but before the happy day arrived, he
turned out TO be a lame duck, ~ and was very
properly made to 'waddle,n in spite of his hurt

herself to bull doing roaring business in the
same street. But the bull was also nearly trans
