FoRT SUl1TER, March IS, 1861.

The hANAEhEs
believe all the newspaper correspondents
here have given this thing the benefit of
notice. Not one Of them, whose account 1
have seen, have given a perfect description of
it; and that perhaps, for the reason that on
ly photograph can 'tshoW it up" will al
lude to two Of its prominent features which
1 have not seen it noticed in any newspaper,
viz: the ballast platform and the "railroad
iron."
You know that the vessel wouldn't keep
straight in the water. She leaned over, as if
attacked with rheumatism on one side; so
platform was erected on the other side, on
which were piled a lot Of sandbags and some
cannon balls, to keep her straight. This
platform is not protected by the bomb-proof
roof, and will be knocked off by the first shot,
If IA shot is ever fred at it. When it is knock
ed off the battery will tilt over again, and, as
the guns will then be on, will possibly up
set. 'eFhe railroad iron,' Of which you have
seen so much in the papers, is spread over the
front of the structure. It don't look as if it
had ever belonged to any decent railroad
| It IS as miscellaneous lot of old snake-heads
and Wagon-tires as ever saw. To look at
il YOU would think thta hdirect taxation" had
been practiced on all the junk shops in town,
and the proceeds made fast to the uncOuth-
| looking vessel.

RIO COFFEE ARKET.-EFFECT OF News FROM THE
~rTgD ETATEs.-We are permitted to make the follow
gZuact from private letter, dated Rio de JaneirO
rT0ary 22d by one of our most prominent importers
fnfee 1t is the very latest received, and from most
ahoritative source.
Ga the 18th inst the French steamer from Bordeaux
r-yed with dates to the 29th and Both ult. from Eu
rge, and to the 18th and 18th idem from New York
From the latter place. the accounts could not be more
gloomy and dispirtng while from Europe they were Of
4 hvorabe tenor for coffee The American advices
would certainly have affected our market very seriously
-rhr any other circumstances but our stock being
SMALL and the receipts hitherto limited, dealers have
eeD and are holding their lots very firmly more par
uarY as they are quite aware that there are numer
m vessels in port chartered to take coffee and that, ere
long, they must be bought on the best terms that the
market will afford. The business to be transacted will
chiefly for Europe for, although there are some eight
rn vessels taken for the States, it is questionable
hat parties will buy for those, except prices decline
.g very considerably, which we do not expect for
gne time. Until the last eight days, the receipts OF
sfe from the interior had fallen off very sensibly,
g TO the rain general elections throughout the coun-
e7 and holidays. These interrupting causes have all
aad to operate against receipts arriving to market
and should fine weather continue for another twelve
fifteen days, we are confident that supplies will again
become abundant and then prices become reasonable,
decline materially from present quotations, provided
news from abroad does not come favorable for their
maintenance. The stock to-day is estimated at about
10000 to $4,000 bags, chiefly composed of inferior
trades Of coffee, and generally unsuitable for the United
States markets. So far the cearances for the States
swell as for Europe, have been small, and for your
port not bag has gone, nor is there any vessel loading
either for your or any other port in the States. The
total shipped this month must necessary be small
The shipments of coffee from the first Of January tt
1e 22d amounted to A, 344 bags, about half to New
York. and the rest to Baltimore, Galveston, and Mobile
