Whkie Staoery its Havuna.-The fullow ing extract of a letter, received by one or the editors of ihis paper from a scientfiC vs traveller, who recently lectured in this ad city, gives the following account of white ci slavery in the iavana.--Char. Mer. ri HAVn'A. Feb. 15, 1843. a Mr DEAS Sia-According to promise, vs I take this opportunity of the return of the It Hayne. to send you a few lines from this dehightftl city. I hsave not any news to tell you, except that the English-speaking P( people here'are too few, to render my tn public labors profitable. As to the slave bc question, I see nothing materially different H rm what I have already seen elsewhere, ti except that I am informed there are here W a considerable number of whilesUes, con- flt sistiag of persons who having emigrated. tl mnd being unable to pay for their passage. I are sold by the captains of the vessels. It a' is said the traffic is extensively carried on b -that the emigrants, chiefly females. are c entrapped by the ship captains. and delu- m ded as to the parice of transportation, ant. n finally sold ror the passage money. This c practice seems, however, to be confined to i Spanish emigrants ; and the slavery is 0 limited to such period as will pay the debt. ta SFrom e N. 0. Bee of 21st in.3 y The Beaks.-Failure of the Commer- la eial Bank.-The city was, yesterday. p4 thrown into real confusion by the an- in noencement. in the morning, that the til Cemmercial Bank had stopped payment. ec This fact was the more astounding as no run had been mad. upon it of late, and in some little confidence was beginning di again to be felt'in our monetary instinu. w tions. The eauses which led to this re- (i suIt, must have ernwn out of the previous it management, whereby she was so much a weakened as to be unable to stand up it against the natural demands and exactions, pi of commerce. She actually fel' from ex- If baustion. ,I As was to have been expected from so e( Un1msward an event, the note holders. and in some instances the depositors, took the v, alarm and made a run upon the other al banks. The Mechanics and Traders, and the City Bank had to meet the brunt of Ahe panic. They both paid out specie 6t with great alacrity; neither made any at- rt tempt to evade the run upon her-every y officer being engaged in counting out the *a dollars to those who wanted then. Ii Towards 3 o'clock, the run upon the ft City Bank greatly abated; but the Me- it vbanics and Traders kept her doors open is for two hours aller the usual time to ac commodate such as desired to exchange i: her notes for specie. it Upon the State, Union and Canal Banks ti the run was very trivial. si In the height of the panic, Commercial a Bank notes were sold as low as 40 per cent. discount; but towards the close of the day they rallied and were readily ex changed at25 a 26 per cent discount. It is not to be expected that the commu nity will feel easy under such shocks up- , on confidence; but yet we believe that there are a number of banks in the city which are perfectly able to live throgh f the worst of panics. . We have not ascertained the amount of specie lost by the various banks, nor do we think it necessary to go into the par saiars of yesterday's flare up. We d .ever AansiUs hn Iders -Mo& -tw part OW1eriW-raWtes under an appre bension of their not being good.

Aweful Catastrophe f-About 4 o'clock y this afternoon, another land-slide occur- fa red from the hill (Ms. ida,) where the t awful catastrophe of Janury 1. 1837, transpired, exceeding in extent and conic- h gunee, that memorable disaster. Some eight or ten dwellings, occupied. by poor fanmilies, were crushed and buri ed beneath the mass of earth. in these, it is sopposmed, there were not less than ' Thirty or Forty Personts, only ten or twelve of whom escaped. Within an hour, nine bodies were dog from the ruins--five of which were ni ith-I ow life, one partieally injured, and three not beyond recovery. Had this avalanche neeurred in the night, the destruction of life would have Is been still greater. as many occupansts of C the houses were absent at their labor or P elsewhere. to A man from the country. pansing as the I time with his team, leaped from his sleigh o: and escaped. The hurses and load of I wood were buried beneath the earth, al We just the scene of disaster. it is one h: of horrific desolation. Thousands were r congregated on the spot, and a corps of p efficient men engaged in pentetrating the elC earth and clearing away the fragmntns of' 2 buildings. ______ Ateful Calamily.-Two men, Messrs. p Fletcher and Urover, residents of Quincy, ml were killed last evening, (the 20th inst.); a in a shocking manner. is appears that i they were engaged in digging a- well for ti Mr. John Parker. Last Thursday they i a came to a rock that required blasuing, and h in order to do this, the rock being cnvered IC some 4 or 5 feet in the water, they placed Ial a tim. canister filled with powder upon it. b< Exertions were then made to expkade the eanister, but all failed. On Monday. they B concluded to. raise thme powder. which was n coveal with gravel and water-anti had succeded ins removitng a part of it, when about sunset, one of the unfortunate men, .3 (both were in the well) struck a stone' al with his iron lhar. int prying up she canis- s ier, and it immuediately exploded. Mr. al Parker, who was Ionkitng itnto the well as 3M the time, is supposed to have lost both a' eyes, ad another gentleman is somewhat M injured. The two men who were killed te were soon taken from ste well-and a ol dreadful sight they exhibited. Mr. Gro-.e ver's head was lIterally torn to pieces, and e i Mr. Fletcher's hontes were broken in many G places. They were so disfigured and Ias blackened thait it was hard to recognise m thorn. Thesy have both left families to hu snonrn their lhs. Truly. --int the midst uof m~ From the Chiarleston Mercury. Mfart as a Maxure -We have been fa 'red with the following copies of letters, dressed by Mr. Ruffin, our State Agra iltural Surveyor, to a planter, on Ashley rer in St. George's, Dorchester, about 15 iles from town, whose plantation he had sited. The information and suggestious contains may prove generally useful. STEWAaT'S loT.T., Feb. 21. DrAft St:-While waiting for an ap inted call, I take the opportunity to ake you an explanation which may not i altogether superfluous. When Gov. ainmoud referred to me the question of a benefit of marling your rice field, I aived answering as to the degree of bene because of the wants of any facts on at subject, but stated that, on the suppo ion that one bushel shoul I be thereby ided to the crop per acre, such increase ting annual and permanent, would amply Impeosate for applying a heavy cost of ar. Gov. Hammond, thinks that, by aking this snpposed case, I might have nveyed to you the impression that as nal an increase was to Ie expected. u the country. I would expect 10 or 20 nes one bushel of increase from marling; ad all I meant was. to siate a strong, and )t true case, of a sufficient profit for the bor, even though but one bushel were armnuently added to the annual crop, stead of 10 or 15, as I would think more cely-and an improvement in quality inal to that of quantity. A thought has struck me in regarI to arling rice land. The bed of marl is iubtless under all your marsh. and a pit ould reacis it ihere. at the greatest depth, ny near the river side.) and get through if that were determined on, much easier d cheaper than on the high land: and all ie marl drawn up in this scientfic ex ritnent, would be so cheaply applied to e surrounding rice around, that perhaps at convenience would pay for the extra mat of the deep digging. The marsh wuil, presume. would furnish no spring, or tin or water, to interrupt the diggiug, ad I am sure the marl will not. I have received your specimens got by iy augur, and cm pleased it has bcn of much use to you. I have tested them ughly and annex the results.* When )n are fairly at work and digging for use, ind me specimens of all you desire to ) analyzed. %and certainly at every 10 et successive depths,) and I will analyze em for you. A lump of average quality desired for the State collection. Should you choose to sink the pit, (bor ig by a proper augur. which can be ob iined here nearly complete,) and get to ie bottom of the marl, or as deep as pos ble, without reaching. its bottom, consider e a contribsutor to the expense.

We have no sales to notice this week, and therefore prices are merely nominal. We, how ever, quote 4 a 6 cents as extremes; prin cipal sales 5 to 5 ets., being a reduction of full J cent from last week's prices. Freights.-All cotton for Charleston by the rai road. is taken at 25 cis. per hun dred pounds. There ara no boatn run ning to Charleston at this time. To Sa vannah, 40 cts. per bale.-Journal. AvousTA, March 2. Remarks.-We have not much too add to our remarks of last Tuesday, on the subject of cotton. The markets, from which we have hearA, have left the unfa vorable accounts recently received from Europe. The price of the article bad receded. and operitions had almost entire ly ceased. holders not being willing to concede the decline asked for by buyers. Only forced sales were effected. In this condition of the markets, which is nearly the condition of the markets, which is nearly lte condition of ours, every one will look now for funrther accounts from Europe. which may be expected in a few days. We must confess that there is some doubt in the plan pursued by some holders of keeping back their cotton for better ac counts and prices; yet we must acknowl edge, that this plan would be the one we would ourselves pursue, especially if we could keep back sales for a few months. We are confident that the panic which has occurred in the European markets will subside, anti that a better feeling will arise, which will establish prices on the truo proportion of supply and demand. When they will be informed in Europe, that, large as our crop will certainly be, it will not go beyond, or at least a very tri fling anount, the estimate taude a few months azgo, and of which thoy were ap prised in Europe, better calculations will bu made, and more confidence will be cre ased in the prices that a better knowledge of the amount of production and of the amount needed for actual consumption will establish. This panic in the European markets should noL alarm us, but. on the other hand, should we learn by the next arrival from Europe, that a reaction has occurred, it will be the province of pro!' deuce to keep cool, and not run away, and too fast, with the favorable news we might receive. And it is our opinion that a few circumstances might produce a re-taction. A few orders on the manufacturing dis tricts-for goods or twist, either for China and South America, or for the north of Europe, might contribute to an improve ment in the price of the raw material. The infurmation that the crop of this country will not extend to 2,500.000 bales might exercise also some iunuence. And the prospect of Parliament adopting some mo dification of the corn laws, and some other measures calculated to relieve the people from their present distress, would no doubt have much effect in creating greater ac tivity in the manufacturtng districts. These are suppositions which may be re alized. The neat accounts will rlieva ps aiota 4anees~saey-whierblesu to re gards the future -condition of the cotton markets in Europe. Cotuts.-The recent news has paralized operations in our market, which has re ceded nearly three quarters of a cent. A few. sales have been made, at a decline, but generally planters do not appear wil ling to sell now; the cotton in the ware houses has been ordered to be kept out of the market, and whten It arrives it is stored. The receipts have been light for a few weeks past by the rail road and by wagons; some cotton is to come in by boats, but the quantity is not large. We omit quo tations, as no rates can be established'in the present condition of the market. We hope it will be in our power to give a bet ter review of our market next Thursday. than we areeaabled to do to day. "oLU~alA, Marcha 2.

Our market. which at the close of the last week, in conse quence of the news per Acadia, was en tirely deserted by buyers; did not present a much better aspect on the following day. (Saturday last.) for only 277 bales changed hands on that day. On Monday. however. the market opened with a full attendance of purchasers, it having been understood that holders were ready to meet them with a corresponding decline to the. Liverpool market. The sales on that day amounted to 3252 bales, at a reduction from 4 to I cents. On Tuesday, however, the de mand being well kept up, holders became rather unwalling to continue at those rates, and the market partially recovered and settled to an average decline of' about 4 cent, at which the operations since, have generally been effected.. The sales on Tuesday amounted to 2610 bales,on Wed nesday 2289 bales, on Thursday 2071 bales, and yesterday to 1633 hales, making a grand total of 12,132 hales ranging at from 4 to 8I cents.-Mercury.
