' nal of Commerce, under date of the

Picayune.
""ll?The New York Express states
that the disclosures made by the va
rious Ward Charity Meetings, in re
lation to the sufferings of the poor
in that city, are of the most awful
character. It is asserted on the au
thority of the central committees
that ut the present period, not less
than forty thousand persons in the
city of New York are dependent on
the hand of charity for their daily
supplies of food and fuel. Amongst
those are found not only the vicious
and improvident, but thousands of
the most industrious, ami hither
to laborious of the population, but
they do not work merely because
th(?y can find nothing to do labor
being at present out of the question.
The Express adds that there
is not a day passes in that city in
which there are not more or less
deaths from want of food and fuel.
Newspaper Stock. We learn
from an advertisement inserted on
the fourth page of the New York
Courier and Enquirer, that the pro
prietor of that paper intends apply
ing to the Legislature of New York,
now in session, to authorize him to
convert the Morning Courier and
Enquirer into a Stock Company,
, with a capital of Three Hundred
j Thousand Dollars. A very good
I idea, and calculated to afford the
'? means of making a powerful and
useful press. The London Times

Liverpool Cotton Market, Feb. 23. In
the early pari of the week, and indeed up
to the closeof Wednesday, there was a very
good demand, and the recent import being
1 not then fairly on the market, there was a
competition shown by the trade to pur-
chase, led to an advance of 18 to Ail per
lb. on middle and fair American descrip
tions; yesterday and to day buyers have
been less anxious to supply themselves,
whilst the quantity offering has considera
bly increased and with it a desire to real
ise, producing a reaction in prices, and
f they now remain with scarcely any advan-
tage gained upon those of Friday last.

MUCKLE JOHN,
ILL S TAND the ensuing spring at
the stable of William G. Hnlluck,
at the following prices, (lo wit:) I WEN
I Y FIVE DOLLARS ihe season, and
FORTY Djllars the insurance, with fifty
c nts to the Groom in every instance.
Every exertion will be carelully observed
lo prevent accidents, but no liability will
be incurred if any should happen.
It is entirely unnecessary to make any
comment upon this thotough bred horse,
in his Pedigree which is given below,
should, independent, of Ihe fine perfor
mances of the few colls of his get, on the
racing Turf, recommend him, to all un
prejudiced judges, as a horse that should
not as to genuineness of blood, stand mfe
rior to none others in the State of North
Carolina. The many good crosses both of
American and imported stock, should just
ly entitle him to a reputation sufficient,
to entitle him justly lo an extensive pat
ronage, by all those, who are anxious to
raise race horses of never flinching game,
connected also with no small degree of
speed. With correct and proper crose
his colts cannot fail to figure as splendidly
on the Turf as any others in America.
For an account of his colts' races see Turl
Register and Spirit of the Times. It this
opportunity is not accepted by those who
ire anxious to improve their slock, a
source of regret may hereafter be occasion
ed, as another so favorable may not be
"ivpn. A liberal deduction will be made
if any responsible person will make up a
club of fivi mares. 1 he season will com
mnce 1st March and end 1st July.
MUCKLE JOHN is fifteen years old this
spring, and now possesses all the liveliness
of action as a colt of 3 years old.
VeiUgvcc.
MUCKLE JOHN was got by Old Har
rod, he by Old Sir Archie. Harrod.:
dam by Old Diomede, his grandam by Old
Bellair. his g grandam by the Imporled

Collector, his grandam by Old Imported
Citizen, his g. grandam by the Imported
Union, bis g. g. grandam by the Imported

further, as the above is sufficient to give
him a pedigree not surpassed by any horse
