ExTEssIvE SALE.-On Wednesday of ,,,
week, the property belonging to the estate of Tho.
Mcclure, jr., decd, was sold by j. J. Mcclure
ex'r, at public auction Property of all kinds, w.
learn, sold remarkably well, and the negroes, i
was thought, brought high prices. Fifty odd
negroes were sold, field hands, ranging from $500
to 1920 per head, and others in proportion
Considering the times and scarcity of money, We
think the above figures may be considered as fair
prices for hands, and these sales give evidence that
a good negro will always bring good price

WAsHINaToN, Nov.ss2l.-Advices received
by the Government from Great Britain,
represent that though much soreness of
feeling towards the United States is evil
dent, yet there was manifest feeling ad-
verse TO war, and that the sentiments 10
n favor of maintaining a strict neutrality
was daily strengthening.
Adj ices from France indicate that the
feeling OF the part of that government to-
ward the United States is more cordial than
ever. The GoVernm ent has no evidence of
any rebel privateer steamer being on the
seas except the Sumter. She is endeavoriog
TO elude capture.
Commodore Dupont has sent to the Navy
Department the original South Carolina
ordinance of secession, beautifully engraved
upon parchment with the autographs of
the South Carolina seceders, headed By
General Jameson. The photographs OF all
the members of the convention were also
found at Beaufort with the ordinances, and
a large number of other important docu-
ments.

furnishes information of second attempt
on the part of the rebels to drive our feet
from the mouth of the Mississippi, which
we have not before noticed in the papers.
The letter is published in the New York
Tribune;
While we were gone to Ship Island Eve
secession steamers came down the river
and attacked the feet. Getting the worst
of it they retreated up the river. The

them, knocking the wheel-house of one,
sinking another, driving q third ashore,
and sinking lighter loaded with tar, tur-
pentine, and powder, intended for a fire.
