We have advices from the Bahamas, dated at
Nassau, N. p, on the I'd and 5th of September.
The secession shipping interest in the town was
beginning to experience losses, in consequence of
the vigilance of the United States cruisers and
the Parliamentary declarations Of Lords Palmers
ton and Russell, to the effect that the action of
our war vessels was not reported as constituting
blockade Of the harbor. Three or four houses in
Nassau who have sold goods to the rebels have
nor the population at large have been benefited
All the people have got, so far, by the commu-
nication with the South and Havana, has been
the yellow fever, which is now an epidemic in and
around Nassau. The Oreto, which has just run into
Mobile, left Nassau and overlook and towed into
Green Cay the British schooner Prince Alfred, from
which vessel she took most of her cargo for the
South, portion of which consisted of six thirty
two-pounder broadsde guns, and two sixty eight
FOUNDER pivot guns, with large quantity of gun
powder, shot and shells. She was six days freight
ing with this contraband cargo. The rebel trading
schooner Kate, from Wilmington, and the Anglo
Confederate steamer Leopard, from Charleston'
had arrived at Nassau The Protestant Bishop Of
Nassau died on the 4th instant of fever.
The publicity given by the Paris journals to the
case of French officer named Lesenne, who fell
in one of the recent engagements in America, has
led to the discovery of his widow, who has been
to the Prefecture of Police in that city, and OBJ
tanned the jewels deposited there for her by the
gentleman who received them from her dying
husband
The new Turkish Minister of Finance has made
discovery which, coming from Constantinople,
is almost miraculous He has actually found a
large quantity Of gold and silver coin in the Turk
ish Exchequer. This treasure trove, which is
estimated at about 800 900 francs, is supposed to
have lain concealed for upwards of century.
The great autumn fair at Frankfort has just
been brought to close. Cloth which is usually
thearticle of the greatest importance, sold badly
and at reduced prices. Cotton goods, calicoes
and drapery goods in general found ready sale.

articles little was done.
The cause of the troops in New Jersey not being
sent to Washington, it appears, was the want of
arms, the men declining to 60 without them. The
government informed Governor Olden that there
were plenty of arms in Washington, but they
could not be sent to New Jersey, for the want of
boxes in which to pack them. The Governor i'm.
mediately despatched large number of boxes to
the seat of government and in due time the arms
arrived, and all the regiments Of the State are
now under marching orders, and will be sent on as
fast transportation can be provided.
