THOMAS J. BARROW & CO.
Importer .v, SS tVater st. New-York,
4fFFER for sah-, the largest and
- most coinkte assortment of
Earlhenw'trc, Glass, China., plain
and gilt J.nokr ng-G lasses, $c. which
the New-York market will afford,
comprising every style and variety ol
the newest paMcrns. They return
their most cordial thanks to their
friends in the Southern States, for
their support in the persecution now
carrying on against them, lor then
refusal to join a combination in fixing
one tariff of prices for Crockery,
throughout the trade. It is mniniy
attributable to the influence of our
Southern friends that we have beei.
enabled to survive thus far, in this
most trying situation; exposed to the
combined influence and capital of the
whole trade, endeavoring to effect our
ruin and expulsion from business.
We pledge ourselves to our friends to
give them every satisfaction in our
power as regards the quality of our
goods, the excellence of our packers
and the lovvness of our prices for Cash
or City Acceptances; and in return,
solicit from them a continuance of
their patronage, and particularly re
quest ihoe who have influence with
iheir friends to exert it in our behalf,
as we trust the cause is one they are
all interested in, and much benefit
will accrue to us from their friendly
acts in this way. It has been said,
the Combination was broken up.. As
it regards prices, this is true, and all,
we think, ft iends or foes will allow
that we have effected this change; but
we do assure our friends, that at no
period since we commenced our sys
tem of unshackled prices were we in
greater want of assistance than at the
present moment. This combination
of men arc leaving no means untried
for effecting our ruin, that they may
revive ihe old system: our credit and
character are assailed in every shape,
our importations waylaid and stopped
in every instance where threats are
sufficient to intimidate the manufactu
rers from supplying us; in fine, no
vexation or trouble which the malice
of men could devise has been neglect
ed in this struggle to subdue us. Wre
once more call upon every friend of a
free trade to come up to our support,
and pledge ourselves to give them no
cause to repent of their liberality.

WEST INDIES.
The Insurrection in Marti
nique. A letter published in
the New-York Mercantile, da
ted Martinique, Feb. 3, says:
"Martinique is in a bnd situa
tion. It is feared there will be
a general rise of the negroes,
and that they will massacre the
whites. Two or three nights'
ago they sawed down the gal
lows, and last night they set fire
to several cane patches. There
are four negroes to one white
man."
The Commercial Advertiser
contains the following addition
al items, translated from Marti
nique papers to the lGth Febru
ary: On the 13th of February
an insurrection broke out am
ong the negroes. They had fi
red the town, a part of which
was reduced to ashest A large
number had been apprehended,
and many of the ring-leaders
were shot. Their plea was
that, as the French had obtain
ed their freedom in France,
they determined to fullow their
example.
Barbados... Barbados papers
to the 10th February, have been
received at New-York. The
new session of the Colonial Le
gislature was opened on the 8th
in the usual form. A meeting
of the planters of Barbados,
was held at Bridgetown on the
9ih, at which delegates were ap
pointed to meet commissioners
from the West India Colonics,
in order to make an united rep
resentation to the British Gov
ernment concerning "the pre
sent alarming and depressed
state of the Colonies," and of
the "urgent necessity which ex
ists for immediate and substan
tial relief to save them from im
pending ruin."
Algiers. Tu. United States'
Telegraph publishes a very in
teresting letter, concerning the
taking of Algiers by the French,
from a highly respectable and
intelligent gentleman, whose
opportunities of obtaining the
most accurate information on
the subject to which it relates,
says the Telegraph, have been
many and uninterrupted. The
writer states that there is no
doubt .that the city of Algiers
was sold to the French by the
Dey, (Hussein Pacha,) and that
the price of it was two millions
of dollars, and an immense
quantity of jewels, and oilier
articles, which he was allowed
to take away with him. It is
not known to any person, not
even the Dey himself, how much
he is worth; but it is believed lie
is the richest private individual
in the world. This is certain,
that the French could only re
mit to Toulon from Algiers the
comparatively small amount of
S16,00.0,000,outofS150,000,000
which sum was known to have
been, not long before, in the
Treasury. That there had
been great plundering, chiefly
by the Dey and the parly faith
ful to him; and that it is equally
certain he had long been
preparing himself to remove
with his wealth. '. He has form
ed a connexion with the Jews at
Leghorn, where he intends to
establish a banking house; and
notwithstanding all this, such is
his cupidity, he intends to apply
to tiie French Government for
a pension! He attempts to
keep up the pretensions of a
prince; but were is not for his
enormous wealth, he would bo
considered very little better
than a pedlar.
The writer says the French
are somewhat at a loss what to
do with Algiers; they do not oc
cupy one foot of territory be
yond the reach of their shot;
but they are making prepara
tions to keep possession -of
what they have got, and talk of
extending their conquest in the
spring: but it is believed they
will not be able to accomplish
their object.
Turkey. The Boston Daily
Advertiser has received Smyrna
papers to November 2J. An
entire change was about to be
made by the Ottoman govern
ment in the system of imposts.
Commissioners were to be sent
into the provinces to make an
enumeration of the population.
The Porte has issued an order
addressed to the judges, gover
nors, &c. of all the towns and
villages of Natolia and Asia
Minor, directing that all Chris
tians held in slavery shall be set
at liberty, and furnished with
money to enable them to return
to their respective homes, v
South America. The Fidi
tors of the New-York Enquirer
have Bogota dates to the 21st
of January inclusive, and learn
from their attentive correspon
dent, that all is at present quiet
there, and that the probability
is, that Faez, Floresand-Urda-neta,
will form a confederal n,
and ihus preserve Colombia
from dissolution. Urdaneta
has turned Ins back upon the
English faction which have giv
en so much trouble, and with
which he was once connected.
Their influence is forever de
stroyed. Grain. The private letters
from Mtmcl, East Prussia, state
that an express had arrived
from St. Petersburg!) with the
important intelligence, that the
Emperor had issued a procla
mation prohibiting the export
of all Com from the Russian
ports. Consequently the sup
ply of wheat from the Russian
possessions on the Baltic which
heretofore passed into the En
glish market ceases, and a still
further enhancement in the
price of bread stuffs in England
must be the result of this order.
British Manufactures,.. Tet
ters from the manufacturing dis
tricts of England, state that
trade in that country is unpre
cedentedly brisk, and the con
sumption of all kinds of wool
enormous, with a light slock on
hand and the clip still distant.
An advance took place on the
14?!i of 'January on all kinds of
Carpeting, particularly Brussels
and Wilton.
Beet Root Sugar. ..In France
millions of pounds of Sugar are
annually manufactured from the
beet root. In the Southern
part of the United Slates a large
quantity is also manufactured.
The process is simple and the
product abundant.
