of the Rebel ron-clad steamer Cotton, in the Bayou
Tecbe by the land sud naval forces under the com
nand OF Gen. c. Weitzel. she wac blown 10 atoms
and there is an end Of tbs formidable vessel which

that Rebel sheet AGAIN.
Business was dull. The market was overlooked
Coffee was cheaper in New-Orlears than III New
York and the same WIS true Of other commodities
There were great many spectators from III,

the commander Of tic X bel vessel would not give
further explanation Of bis audacity than that he

1t Is just to say Of the British Consul, who, dur

csy ed that he could account for his assumption
and presumption in asking for him.
Undoubtedly the Rebel boat came out with the
