Fifteen days later European intelligence per Acadia,
wa* received by to-day's mail. The steamer arrived at
Boston on the evening of tha 7th, nud brings Liverpool
dates of the J9th Nov. and Havre of the I7th. Tho En
glish cotton market waa |d per lb lower on the fair, and
Wkd on inferior descriptions, with limited transaction*.
The London money market was very tight, Htid consols
had declined.
The condition of the laboring classes in the manufactu
ring districts continue to be deplorable, and trade was. if
passible, in a worse state than at previous aacouiits.
At Manchester, the purchases of Yarn for (lie conti
nent had almost ceased, with a decline of J®id ^ lb in
tome aorta. For goods, the demand Is trifling.
The whole oi tne mins in x..norley, with one exception,
had stopped work, owing to a dispute between the spin
ners and their hands—the former wishing to reduce wa
ges 124 par cent.
0At Paisley, tho number of work pcoplcjout of employ
ment, with their wives and families, depending on the re
lief committee for existence, had increased during the
last week of our advices, exceeding two thousand—the
total number being 8.836 persons !
The distress at Stockport also increasing. Scores of
families are literally starring, ami no less than nine fami
lies had not tasted bread for three week*. The streets
crowded with destitute starving beings.
In Ireland too, the prospect is most gloomy. The po
tato# crop is said to be a complete failure, and the wheat
and oat crop hi a third below the nverage, and tho price
of meat was rising. From Scotland, there is.xko siinilur
accounts of the potatoe crop.
(Correspondence of the Register and Journal.)
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 18. 1841.—Since tho departure oft lie
last steamer, 4th iust., our cotton market has continued in a
heavy languid state, the quantity offering exceeding the
demand, and prices have further declined jd. per lb. for
fair and good qualities, and i&}d. for the low uud ordina
ry qualities. At tho close of la*t woek, 12th inst. the quo'a
tion for fair Upland was 5i. fair Mobil* Gd. and fair Or
leans 61, but these quotations are not now obtainable and
will no doubt be nude jd. lower at the close of the present
week, tomorrow,though better sustained limn tbenidiunry
qualities. The sales for the week ended 13th inst. were
84,420bales, of wbieh 4540 were Upland at 5»7—10,880 Or
leans at 4197^—and 8550 Alabama and Mobile at 5®7id.—
The business for five days, to this evening, is estimated at
about 17,000bales, including some considerable lots of or
dinary Upland and Alabama at 4 j, and the most inferior
must be quoted as low as 4id. per lb. The state of trade
at Mauchastor continues extremely discouraging, and the
■pioners limit their purchases of cotton to the supply of
their immediate wauts. The stock in this port is now about
458,000 bales, against 445,000 at same period last season;
Mia stock of American is about 310,000 or about 40,000 less
than it then was—an import ofabout 50,000 bales of Surat
is to be expected within the next two months.
Extract from a letter received in this city, dated
LIVERPOOL, November 19th, 1841.—We regret to any
that our cotton market continues in a most dull nud de
pressed slate. Prices have fallen from id to id per lb. aineg
the sailing of the last Boston steamer ; and in many instan
ces, from the extreme anxiety of holders to press their
stock upon the market, a greater reductioa has beeu sub
■itted to. Trade in the manufacturing districts, ia even
- worse than when we last wrote.
The export season to tho continent of Europe, is now
over ; and goods and yarns meet a very heavy sale at con
tinually falling prices. The following is our present quota
tions; but aa we have before remarked, several sales have
been made at lower rales, and tho principal sales of Ameri
can cotton era at 5i 95|d. per lb.

The stock of cotton of all kinds held in Liverpool on
the 12th inat. was estimated at 470,700 bales, against 457,
700 bales held at the same period of Inst year, and of
American only It was 317,700 bales, against 362,100 bales

SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19,1841.
By tin* tnorning'* uiuil \vc have the account *'of the
steamer Acadu, which left Liverpool ou tile lOih tilt,
an.I reached Bosioti on tSie 7tli in*t. The commercial
accounts will lie tbund under that Hca I.
The principal item of interest i* the Birth of a sou,
| to the Queen of England, which event took place on
the 9th of November, and w as the subject of unusual
facilitation in England. The Queen had ho far rc
I covered on the 19th, that it was rot thought neecssa
! ry to issue any more bulletins of her health. This is
the first heir inale, over horn to a Queen Regnant,
and the first I'liace of Wales for three reigns. The
infant is said to ire strong, healthy and likely to
thrive. A form of thanksgiving w as prepared by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, and directed to In* used in
ail the churches and chapels throughout England and
Wales, on Silmlny the 14th of November.
Great anxiety was felt for the life of the Queen
Dowager, who was dangerously ill at her residence.
The last bulletin dated 17th inst. was considered uu
lavoratjte.
Another attempt Imd been made by a crazy man,
to break into Buckingham palace, insisting that the
Queen had cut oft'hi* brother’s head, and lie meant to
have hers.
TIi** Columbia steamer had arrived out, making
her run from Halifax in ten days and a half.
The amount of tile fraud in Exchequer bills was
not yet fully ascertained; thus far only one single
forged bill of £1,009 bad l»en deen detected as in cir
.Sulatton, but inasmuch as it was known that there
was unfunded, and therefore in circulation, 119,500,
000, and only 115,865,300 had been banded into the
Treasury and returned as genuine, there still remain
ed a sum of £3,634,700, concerning the vuli litj of
which doubts might (ow ing to the uncertainly as to
the extent of the frauds) be entertained. No one,
however, suppose* them to roach to any sncli extent.
H i*. Beaumont Smith, the clerk in live Exchequer
Bill Office, was liually committed to Newgale on 5th
November, on a chnige of forging and uttering Ex
chequer lulls to a very large amount.
On lira 16lh, Ernest Rapa\t<>, a broker, through
whom Smith had negotiated tl»e forged bills, was also
committed to Newgate. In both cases bail was re
fused.
August. Sir Henry Putting#, the new Plenipoten
tiary had arrived, and superceded Captain Elliott,
who was on his way overland from India, home. The
following are said to be the conditions which Sir
Henry Pottinguer, under instructions from his gov
ernment, is to demand from the Chinese as the basis
of a treaty of peace between the two powers:
1. The opening of all tlm Chinese ports situated on
the eastern coast, to all European nations without
exception, who will be permitted to trade freely, sub
ject to a moderate duty on tlu entry and departure of
their vessels.
2. The abolition of the monopoly hitherto enjoyed
by the Hong merchants.
3. The appointment of an English ambassador to
reside at the Court of Pekin.
4. Indemnity to the English merchants for the loss
sustained by the destruction of opium and the aholi
tiou of the trade.
Sir Henry, immediately on his arrival on the 9ib of
Augest, published his commission and announced his
intention to observe tlie existing truce, as long us
faithfully observed by the Chinese. So far the truce
had not been broken, and the Chinese had become
more tractable.
The French govir.vincnt is assembling 25,003 ujen
it Perpignan, and 15,000 at Buyonne, with a strong
force at Toulouse, which is to answer the double pur
pose of reserve for « Spanish intervention, and police
to keep the Toulousians quite. This iurmiduJile
jrinv, to be collected at the foot of the Pyrenees, is
mid to be so in consequence of fears entert .med by
die French o| Spanish machinations.
We find nothing else ofumcli interest, in the pa
pers.
Nothing of interest was transacted in cither House
>f Congress on the 8ih and 9th. The message has
not been referred in the House of Representatives;
tnd the time has been conmuned in unimportant con
versations about the right to seats in the hall, and the
)rder of business; both of which arc unsettled.
Mr. L EWts of this Stale, took his seat on the 8 th;
after having been reported dead, and enjoyed nil the
posthumous honors of neuspu|>cr eulogy from fritind
and foe. No one will coitest his right to his own
peculiar scat in the hall, fur it was made expressly to
iuit him, and is rather a short sofa than than a LargR
shair.
The rumor is repeated that, that Messrs. Legarc
and Upshur arc about to quit the cabinet, in conse
quence of the preponderance, therein, of Wtb&Urian
‘'iews in- favor of a protective tariff.
Now that the State Bank system has failed so
signally, and is becoming unpopular with all par tics
in this State, a portion of the press is continually
sneering at the Democratic party as the authors of
the system, and taunting us with its misdeed and
follies. The object is to Uke credit to the whig par
ty in some shape; hut how, it would puzzle the wi seat
among them, to define with clearness. At the time
when the State Bank System was established among
us, the whig party was unborn; the very name was
unknown to the State, and the whole voting pop illa
tion, with exceptions so ruie as to he counted oi i the
fingers from memory by any one of general acqu ain
tance in the State, was unanimous in support of the
men and the measures claimed by tlie Denaoci ratie
party as peculiarly their own. If there were any anti
Suite Biiuk men among us, they did not pretend in be
bo, because they were anti-Democrals. Sti !l it
may freely he acknowledged, that the theory of the
State Bank system was one which peculiarly re-com
mended itself to public favor, from its popular cha
racter. It was a very plausible idea, likely to be i»c
'eptalde to Democrats, that the banking system shot ild
be stripped of (lie exclusive character which it had
tlways had elsewhere; should no longer be entrust cd
:o private monopolists, to be administered for imli vi
luul gain, or be confined in its benefits to particu lar
glasses of the community; but should lie made co-« x
eusive with the State, accessible by all classes, a id
idininislered by the people throunli their own agciil s,
or their own benefit, and the profits be earn ed
nto their common treasury. Estimated as Ban !vs
lien were by all parties, their value to commerce a. id
heir iinport.iiice to the common prosperity, conccd cd
vitliout discussion—this form of employ mg the: n,
teemed to take away some of the characterise cs
vliiclt made them conflict with the prevailing opinio) is
a thisMtutcfon tlu: subject of equal rights. But, wh;ile
i'tt say so much for the theory, we cannot admit th at
ere was any party division in the State,—fro ni
vliich, the present Whig party can lay claim to sup c
ior discern meat as to the workings of the syst an, or
ts members can set up party merit as Whigs, i a ha v
n g opposed the system. We suspect that wh snever
acli opposition was manifested among them, it ipraug
n gejieral from preference to the old system of corpu
atious,—the instinctive love for monopolies, which
nukes so strong a part of the uffinities which brought
lie Whig party together afterwards, and keeps the
JlayjWhigs together still; and, in this sense, there
nay be a right to say, that the original ground* were
vfiul became whig ground, when that party was af*
erwards forniod. But this cannot l>e so traced, us
o justify the charge now taken ugaiusi the democra
ic party, that they are solely responsible either for
he creaiiou or the failure of the system. There Was
to distinclio n of whig and democrat in our parties
vhen it was created, and there lias been no such
listinction in supporting, managing or raising it,
lor, do we trust is there to be, any such contrariety
f die winding of it up, as a total failure. The cur
ency finances, and credit of die stale, require the
.id of the patriotism and talent of all parties* instead
lislracting us, by making them subjects of party re
moval and recrimination. Let us all unite as citi
,ens having a connn >n interest in the hoiuur of die
State, find a common anxiety for it# prosperity— to
give our aid to the measure# required by dm crisis,
whether they proceed from whig or Uemocrnl, foi m
consistent opponent* of tile prevailing system, or
form supporters upon whose minds experience has
hot been without its benefit* al influence* in correct
ing l he judgment.
We think,onrowu devotion todetuocmticprinciples,
will n it lie questioned in this state, anti we Imvc nev
er Itclicvcd ill the practicability of the Slate Bank
system—and have long siaee declared against it, as
demonstrated to lie inefficient for any legitimate pur
pose of h nkiug, and productive of touch evil from its
incurable liability to perversion. Yet we do not hes
itate to respect in the motives which led to its
cstnblisliuir.it, the recognition of fads which subse
quent experience has fully verified,—an ackitwv lodge
ment that the prevailing system of banking had in it
dements of injustice, monopoly and mischief, which
it was necessary to correct by the application of new
principles; and if the principles applied have failed
to cure the defeat, it does not the less follow that the
evils continue to exist. Nor should it lie denied that
the experiment of Stale Bunking is a sign and mark
r .... i»; .,,f those costly experiments, hv
which all great tliHcovctfefl in n.»<m , invention** i»j
science, or applications of reason and experience to
social improvement are invariably attended, before
they reach a settled form of acknowledged utility.
We have paid very dearly, for the knowledge which
the wreck of the State Bank system lias brought home
to the people of the state—but one of the points ol
that knowledge will lie an increased conviction of
the evils of the old system, for which this was intend
ed ns a substitute, and a stronger distaste of the
whole fabric of fictitious credits, which every form
of the hanking system hitherto had among us, has
contributed to build up. and make mere widely ruin
ous in its fall.
Mr. N. Sargeant of Philadelphia, was appointed
Agent in Florida for public timlier—winch office he
resigned as one which, having no duties assigned to
it, he could not conscientiously hold, and he accord
ingly recommended that it should be abolished. It
seems that the President thinks otherwise, for we
learn by the New Orleans Pickrtyunc, that John (iih
son, late of the “True American” of that city has
been appointed to the sinecure as Mr. Sargeant
I thought it.
ThjatRK.—Mr. Hacked is one of the few who
have attempted the Fat Knight with any degree of
success. It has now become one of his gnat parts.
He lias so closely interwoven lus peculiar talent with
the character; he Inis so long made it his study, and
so carefully and judiciously considered it, it is not to
j be wondered at that many critics oil this side of the
Atlantic persist in stamping him, the Falslaff of the
day. Certain it is, that notwithstanding the invidi
ous comparisons so often made between the Falslaff
of Hacked, and that nf Dow tun and other great ac
tors, who have made this most difficult part the study
almost of their lives—certain it is, that Hacked’*
conception of the character is entitled to more than
ordinary consideration. Those who were present at
the play lust evening, must be impressed wilii the
truth of tins assertion. It is not often that we sec a
Sir John, and consequently we have but few oppor
tunities of criticising the old reprobate, but we feel
compelled to say, and we say it dispassionately, and
without the fear of old stagers before our eyes, that
parts of Mr. Ilackett’s Falslaff last evening, were
performed in such a manner us to disarm criticism.
The hoary old sinner was there in all his glory.—
The ‘selfish craft,* us l)r. Johnson calls it, “the
careless jollity, the lazy luxury** of the old wag were
faithfully drawn. The rich, gruff, yet joyous laugh
which belongs to Fnlstnff and to Falstaff alone, Mr.
Hacked understands to a nicety. To say tWc tiuth,
we gave ourselves lip to the mischievous revels at lhK
Boar’s Head in Enstchcap, and for a time lost sight
of the curking cares of every day life in the contem
plation of the jolly knight and his devil-may-care
companions.
If Mr. Hacked has n fault, it is that he is not suf
! ficiently subdued at times. The tone of Sir John’s
character is rich, humorous and racy. He is not apt
to indulge in the boisterous, but for the most part a
quiet and refreshing vein of humor appears to per
1 vade all his actions. “He is not only witty himself,
hut the cause that wd is in other men.**
It is to be hoped that Mr. Hacked may again ap
pear bsfore us in this character daring his short en
gagement. We cannot see “sweet Jack Falslaff,
kind Jack Falslaff, valiant Jack Falslaff every day,
Imt we can see Kentuckians, Yankees, aud Dutch
men by scores. *
REPORT OF THE PROTESTANT ORPHANS
ASYLUM SOCIETY.
In compliance with section 4th of the act of incor
poration of the “Protestant Orphan Asylum Society”
the oiiicers and managers of said society now re
port, that the affairs of the Asylum for the last six
months appear to have been upon the whole success
fully conciliated, early in the summer it was found ne
cessary in consequence of the resignation of the Ma
tron to make another appointment. The Ladies of
the Board were fortunate in securing the services of
a person well qualified for the situation. Under her
care the children at the asylum, have been generally
blessed with health with one exception only.
Polite White, a child of4 years of age, after being
for some time in a declining state during which peri
ed she had faithful! medical attendance, has been re
moved by death—One infant also, George Closher,
who was at nurse, at the expence and under the di
rection ofilie society died early in October last. The
society has now 14 children under its protection.—
* Pile Report of the Treasurer appended to this pa
per will show the condition of its funds. Applica
tion lias at different limes been maJe to the Court of
Commissioners of roads and revenues for payment of
the allowance granted by the Legislature of 1839,
but hitherto without success, It remains with the so
ciety to decide what further action shall be made up
on this matter. The usual ap|>eal to the generosity
of the community will he made at Christmas—and to
that generosity the Widow and the Orphans have ne
ver yet appealed in vain. It is apprehended that the
condit ion oflhe building appropriated for an asylum,
is such us to render ilu constant draft upon the funds
of the institution, for necessary repairs, it has also
been thought that the expenditure of a considerable
sum at the present lime in making substantial repairs,
would prove the best economy in the result, but in
the present condition of its funds, the society has not
deemed itself justified in the disbursement of the pro
bable amount required for this purpose lest it should
leave them unprovided for some still more pressing
occasion that might possibly arise.
By order of the Board of'Officers nud Managers.

[From our Prices Current of this morning.J
MOBILE COTTON MARKET.
The arrivals from Friday evening last, to 6 p. m. yes
terday, amount to It),276 bales—against 5,818 bale.* in the
corresponding week of Inst season. The exports lor the
same period nrc 3,835 bales, against 6,287 last year—sad
the stock stands at 39,872 bales, ngaitisl lo,G51 at the same
date lust season. The slock lias received an increase this
week of 6,441 bales.
Iii the week preceding that just closed, it was intima
ted that an indisposition on the part of buyers to operate
towards the end of the week, rendered holders inure ac
commodating, and that the market closed heavily on the
lbtli nt our then quotations. Since that lime there has
been a general enquiry from buyers on both domestic and
foreign account, ami transactions are computed to amount
to 7,5i 0 bales for the week, at an improvement upon lust
week's prices of £c lb. This advance lias been mainly
oxviiig to the upward tendency in exchanges, which have
improved Ifffil.J f? cent within the week. The enquiry
for the better descriptions has been general, several buy
ers for custom manufacturers being in the murl^i, and
choice, even crop lots have been in good request.—
la soma iustauces as high aside, bus been paid for supu
ior lots of this descriptionthe principal crop loll howe
ver, ut present oil the market would not command over
averaging middling to middling fair. For the
French market, llm better cluss ot our cottons is ul?o
sought out, and these qualities are accordingly, if anything,
stiller than the low grudes, at our figures, ullho’ the niur
ket is regarded at the close as quite still* oil all descriptions.
The heaviest days business was on Tuesday', when about
2500 bales changed hands. Yesterday, owing to the failure
of the mail aud the uuu-arrivul of late foreign ud vices, now
anxiously cxpectod.lbo market was rather quiet—sates Ud
700 bales. The slock uusoid is estimated at nearly 22,000
hales, but a large proportion of it is laid uside lor the pre
sent, as is supposed, factor's tables scurce exhibiting half
that quantity. In some cuses, orders luve been received
to hold over, plunlrrs generally remaining unshaken in
their views ofthu deficiency in the crop of this stuie. The
lute receipts show aonn improvement in the quality, hut
Cue cotton is still scarce, and will so continue this season.

EXCHANGE—We quoted an advance lust week of J
tol percent, nndare again under the necessity of further
advancing our figures JtolJ percent. This improvement
was firmly maintained in the lore part of the week, hut
towards the close tho rates were less stiff, and it is sup
posed the tendency of the market is downward. The
best opinions respecting the action of our legislature on
the bank question, agree that tlieie will be nothing done
this session. In this event, wc look for exchange to be
come more settled. The demand has been fair, csuaidcr

FREIGHTS—The engagements during the wcec sus
tain the provious iui|irovcineal to Liverpool, und also es
tablish a slight advance to Havre Vessels are quite firm
ntour quotation i for foreign ports; to New York and Bos
ton, thero is very little offering und rates are heavy—to
Providence there are two or three engagements. To Liver
vorpool there liuve been 2 engagements, each ut 17-:*2d.,
and to Havre 2,at IJc; to Glasgow, a vessel was tukcii up
on Thursday, the first this season—the rote JJ. for nearly n
full cargo. We have had large accessions this week to our
list of vessels. Soo table.
Business towards ihe closu »f the week , exhibited more
animuiinu than at our last Notice, but is still regarded ns
backward and exlreinuly limited for the season—’especially
when thn fine condition of our rivers and low freights, the
cheapness of must articles under this head, uud the compa
ratively fair prices and demand prevailing lor thegreut ntu
ple proJucl of our soils, are considered. Our up-country
friends have visited us in more force during the week. But
do not seem disposed to enter, to any great extent into tho
purchase of any species of goods. In most seasons, hei mo
lore when the rivers were up, the two or three weeks im
mediately preceding the hoi.days, wcie characterised by u
spirited bittiness, followed l>y n week or two of inanimation,
—this season, so fur, the market,except in cotton, has l.ecu
depressed, prices gradually receding, and slocks, in autt
cipation of n good demand, increasing. Thn prospect at
present is discouraging, and thn fact that largo slocks ol
goods for the interior, puichused in other markets., have
ulready gone forward, together with the economical policy
of planters, every year becoming more general, to mine and
produce within themselves as much as possible of tin: arti
cles of necessary consumption, contributes to render the
unpearauce of thiiigs now, uud prospectively, inauspicious
to a heuvy or profitable business season. The dept coated
character of our currency, uud by consequence, the one
rous rate of cxchuugo against this city, i* seriously affect
ing the interests, of every department of business. Whal
measures, if any, will be adopted by our state legislature
before its udj mriimenl, ill relation to the banks, is un
known : ut lust accounts nothing hud been agreed upon.—
The numerous arrivuls of vessels f. out sea, uuiJ the increas
ed tiuinheis of passengers by every boat from the interior
with the usual stir and bustle unending the discharge, uud
receipt of large quantities of merchandize, give to our
streets ail air of business, which they w ould not otherwise
possess. Tile weather has heeu variable, wet and warm,
