BULLS HAD Nep- York cattle Market, TuesdtSy,
March 5.We report slight Improvement in the price
Of beef cattle this week. for the opening day Of the
market, though not enough to change the figures Of
the quotations of our last weekly report. Butchers
however, are al agreed in the statement that they do
not get their stock upon quite as good terms, though
nominay Of the same price per pound. Stiil the ad-
vance is not ss great they might reasonably have
anticipated with small supply, which it is probable
will not exceed that of last week. At the opening this
morning. the number Of bulloeks did not much exceed
1000 head; and some Of the statesmen, taking adyan-
tage of this appearance Of short supply, put mp the
prce equal to half cent pound, and some lots
sold at this advance. Bot buyers coon learned that
other trains were expected and held off, that the
market became very dull and the number of bulocks
sold before noon was considerably less than usual.
About that time train from Albany, by the Harlem
road arrived aud this made up the number, with some
scattering lots, about 2400 generally Of good fair,
medium quality with as many first-rate Western
steers and fat country would find ready sale at
9a9I cents pound for choice.
The general range of prices is from Z! to9s cents
pound for the net weight of the quarters sinking ona
The great bulk of the stock will sell at 8d9c., net
pound There are from 200 TO 300 bullocks expected
from Albany tonight and about 100 from the Southern
route but this Ia not enough to affect the Market and
though the sales this afternoon have not been brisk,
there every probability that the prices OF to-day and
of last week will be sustained to the end Of the market
tomorrow as good many Of the brokers have bought
lots to sell on their own account, aud knowing the
wants of the butchers upon such continued short sup
ply will hold them hard for owners option, and be
pretty sure to get it. The weather. too has turned out
very favorable Sunday was as warm as June, and |
Monday quite mild and so was this morning, but this
afternoon isa regular dry, cold, windy, March day,
and has in some measure hindered transactions Both
BUYERS and sellers are more inclined toward warm fires
and heating drinks than they to standout in the raw
atmosphere chaerng the price of buocAs In con-
sequence of this cattle were left for the second
day than usual and the prices of the morning were not
well sustained up to the close of sales.

MEL AYcRoLY SUICIDE or A LITERARY MAS.-Cor-
oner Schirmer held inquest on Tuesday morning at
No d. Marion street, upon the body Of Mr. Ferdinand
Hofbauer native of Germany, aged 29years, who was
found dead in his room the previous day. The de-
ceased had been exceedingly dependent OF late IN con-
seouence of his being out of employment and had DO
come quite Incorporate On Saturday morning, about
O'Clock he went to his room, being then uncer tho
influence of LIQUOR and nothing further was beard OF
him. On Monday tho landlord of the house, while pass
inc by the door of deceaseds ROOM noticed offensive
odor issuing therefrom and breaking open the door
found the unfortunate man lying dead the bed, with
small vial of chloroform between his lips. From tho
fact that decomposition well advanced it is proba
bic that death had occurred on Saturday morning. Mr..
Hofbauer was a man of fine literary ability, having
attained IN Germany the degree Of Doctor OF Jars-
prudence. Since his arrival in this country, TWO
years ago, he has published several scientific WORKS,
beside contributing largely the German Deos'@a anu
German periodicals. He recently accepted the edi'oi-

thority will be promptly restored to the Gus
tcdy Of the Government, accompanied by a
becoming expression of his condemnation OF
the lawless act. This conduct stands out in
marked contrast with the revolutionary pro-
ceediugs elsewhere.
Secretary Toucey has received the following
dispatch from Flag officer Armstrong, com.
mandng Pensacola Eavy-Yard:
"Armed bodies of Florida and Alabama
troops appeared before the gate of the Navy
Yard and demanded possession. Having no
means of resistance, I Surrendered and hauled
down my flag. They are now in possession"
Capt. Farran, Commander in the Yard has
notified the department of his resignation.
a dispatch to the Florida Senator says:
1--WE repaired down here and captured Fort
Barancas and Navy Yard, and then paroled
the officers, granting them permission TO con-
tinue TO occupy their quarters. We are now
in possession. This move was in consequence
of the Government garrisonng Fort Pickeus,
which has before remained unoccupied. You
will propose TO the Administration resaming
the statu quo anti bs9fnm and we will immedi-
ately evacuate."

IRedtrs.-A well-fiIled house on wednesday
night testified 10 the popularity If Tom Tay-
lor's comedy OF San Unequal Match" The
piece had been produced twice before during
Miss Gougenheim's engagement and on lis
third represen ton the audience was more
numerous than on either of the previous oc
casions. The chief merit of this comedy, in
our view, consists in its light, smooth, racy
dialogue. which amuses the listener through
out, yet never offends. The character OF
Hester Grazebrook is one in which uucom-
mon spirit and confidence are required to pro-
duce an effect; and We are sus tanned by many
excellent judges in the opinion that it was
splendidiy rendered by Miss Gougenheim.
In the last act where sbe turns the tables
upon her artful rival, and brings about a ha p-
py dsnoueDlsat the audience seemed absolu teiy
carried away with delight. Miss Ida Vernon
played the part of Mrs. MontreSsor with Il
correct appreciat ti0n OF its meaning. and Mr.
Howe is entitled TO the same compliment foI

Our Town Hail was crowded last night to

and Hon. A. G. Brown, O.: Mississippi, who
arrived here yesterday.
Gov. F.. after being introduced to the au-
depce by Prof. James p Holcombe in a most
eloquent and appropriate manner, made an
elaborate, able and mastery appeal in behalf
of the rights of the South, and exhibited, in u
striking light, the dangers which now threaten
the people of Virginia His speech was
received with the warmest applause
He was followed by the distinguished Sena-
tor from Mississippi, who. in a brief but elo-
quent speech, enumerated some Of the causes
which had induced his State to dissolve her
connection with the Federal Union, aEd ex-
pressed The hope that ere long VirgInia would
JOIN her in a glorious Southern Confeda-acy.
he drew graphic picture of the stolid indif-
ference With which the recent remarks OF Mr..
Crittenden were received by the Republican
SIDE or the Senate Chamber; when that noble
oid statesman, turning round and address ng
tnem, poured out the most eloquent stream Of
petriotlc appeal that he had ever heard in n Is
life, their man seemed even contemptuous,
and was in keeping with the fact that no Re-
publican has yet offered a compromise to the

SUICIDE OF AN EMINENT CLERGYMAN-On
Sunday las; the Rev. Robert G. Rice. of Emil
| nence, Kentucky, one of the most distinguished
clergyInen of the Christian or Reformed Bar
| tist Church. committed suicide at the Spencer
House, Cincinnati, whittier he had arrived
from Philadelphia the previous evening, en-
route for home. The Commercial gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the occurrence:
During the forenoon Of Sunday the cham.
oermaio desired to arrange his apartment, but
he declined to have her do so, alleging that he
was unweil. A similar application, in the at
teTnoon, met with the same excuse About
midnight the clerks attention was called to
the matter by the statement of the boot-black
that the boots had remained outside of the
door all day. Upon entering the room (the
door was unlocked,) Mr.. Rice was found upon
the bed, dead. He had shot himself in the
mead with u small pistol, which was still
grasped in his hand.
