of Louis Napoleon’s recent usurpation. Alter

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. 
One Week later from Europe. 
The steamship Atlantic, Capt. West, from Liv¬ 
erpool, with dates to the 24tli ult., arrived at New 
York, Jan. 5th. The news from England is of 
very little importance. The reception of Kossuth 
in New York, is a theme of much comment in the 
English papers. 
AIcHenry’s Liverpool circular says :—There is 
appearance of more active business in breadstutfs. 
Speculators are anxious to purchase flour at late 
quotations. Wheat is without change; white In¬ 
dian corn is worth 31s; yellow 27s. 6d. The re¬ 
duction in bacon leads to more inquiries, and un¬ 
less we have larger supplies than during last sea¬ 
son, their value Will not go lower. Beef sells at 
any price dictated by buyers. 
Mr. Webster’s dispatch relative to the Prome¬ 
theus, had been sent to Lord Palmerston by Air. 
Lawrence, and it was believed the tone of the 
missive would ensure a satisfactory adjustment, 
and that no British force will be maintained at 
San Juan hereafter. 
France. —All was quiet in France. The votes 
at the late election were larger than expected, and 
it is supposed Napoleon will have a majority of 
seven millions. Gen. Gavaignac has left Ids prison. 
The accounts of the French election, so far as 
they have been received, show, as was anticipated, 
a very large majority in favor of the President’s 
extension of office for ten years. The majority in 
the Departments is much larger than in Paris — 
will be about two-thirds. 
The Constitutional is informed that the Pope 
lias addressed a letter to ltis Nuncio in Paris, ex¬ 
pressing his entire approbation of the acts of Louis 
Napoleon, which have saved society and religion. 
Numerous arrests, principally ultra Republican 
leaders, continue to be made. 
The Moniteur publishes a decree granting a 
credit of 568,000 francs towards the expense of 
the convict establishment to be formed at Cayenne 
and Algiers. 
The Consultative Commission of 35 members 
was a Board to register the Presidential Edicts. 
Cuba and the United States. —The United 
States now, and for the first time, take precedence 
of every other country in its trade with the Island 
of Cuba. By a statement of the value of the Cu¬ 
ban trade for the past year, it appears that the 
importations reached the sum of $28,983,227, and 
the exportations $25,031,943, making the total 
amounts over fifty-four millions of dollars. The 
importations of 1850 exceed those of 1849 by 10 
per cent., and the exportations by 14 per cent.— 
The increase of trade with the United States in 
one year has been over two millions of dollars.— 
In 1849 the total value of the trade within the U. 
States was $12,879,552; 1850, $15,010,613. 
The Mormons in Utah. —The United States 
Judges who were sent to Utah have made their 
report to the President. In it they have severely 
condemned the course of Brigham Young, the Gov¬ 
ernor, of the State. They state t hat the most high¬ 
handed acts, including murder, robbery, and so on, 
go unpunished. That it is unsafe to live among 
and to go near them. That polygamy is practised 
to a great extent—in fact that Young and the Alor- 
mons defy the government to interfere with their 
proceedings. 
Plenty of Land.— The commissioner of the 
general land office reports that 12,000,000 of acres 
of the public land will be available for sale during 
the present year. The minimum price is $1,25 
per acre. The sales of the public lands since 30th 
of June, 1850, and to 30th June, 1821, amount to 
1,846,847 59-100 acres; and the purchase money 
to $2,370,937 45. 
Rochester and Syracuse Direct Railroad.— 
The Wayne Sentinel says the grading of this road 
for the first track is nearly completed, and that it 
will be ready for the super-structure early in the 
coming season. The iron rails and the cedar ties 
are mostly delivered or ready for delivery at con- j 
venient points idong the line of the road. 
Canal Contracts. —It is understood that the 
Board of Canal Commissioners, with whom are as¬ 
sociated the State and Division Engineers, have 
concurred in an allotment of the public work, and 
are now busy in perfecting the contracts.— Alb. 
Eve. Journal.

Rochester, Jan. 6, 1851. j 
Since our last issue the weather has been unfavorable 
to business, the storm preventing most out door operations. 
From present appearances Jhc sleighing will be good, and 
more activity may be looked for. The river has been 
swollen very much, but we hear of no serious damage. 
FLOUR.—No transactions to note. Very little doing 
aside from supplying the home demand. Prices nominal, 
varying with the different grades. 
GRAIN.—Very little doing. Some of the coarser grains 
coming in find a ready market atqoted prices. Wheathas 
improved a trifle and till offering is taken freely at 90c. 
PROVISIONS —Dressed Hogs sell readily at steady pri¬ 
ces. They may he quoted at @5,62®5,75 for large hogs, 
and $5,87(o)6 for very extra. Prime Butter is not plenty 
and sells readily at 16® 17c. forchoice lots. Firkin 12® 16. 
POULRY.—Since the holidays there is not much en¬ 
ergy, enough comes i > to supply the demand. Prices un¬ 
changed. 
HAY.—No ehinge to note. The cold weather makes 
the demand active. 
WOOD—Burns freely, and sells at ©4 to $ 1,50. Much 
coal is used in the city. 
WOOL.—Nothing new in the wool market. 
SHEEP PELTS — No change in prices. We notice

Pork Trade at the' West. 
Pork is one of the grea’ staples of the Western States, to 
which the States of New York and Pennsylvania make 
creditable additions. 
The West has a governing influence upon prices, and 
the market there is for that reason looked to with much in¬ 
terest. Prices have been high compared with former years, 
and at the last dates the market continued very firm. 
The Louisville Journal, the market reports of which 
though elaborate are made up with unusual care, says 
the hog slaughtering is uearl 1 ' done with. There are very 
few now to be killed. The total number killed around the 
falls will probably reach 185,Olid against 197,900 head kill, 
ed last season. The weight this year will however make 
up more than the deficiency in the number on last year. 
At Cincinnati and Covington there has been an increase 
of over 311,000 head. The prevailing rates have been ©4- 
00®© t 65, net, but recent sales have been made at ©4 75, 
and for one lot ©4 80 was offered. 
All kinds of provisions exhibit an upward tendency and 
we can see no good reason why prices cannot be sustained, 
if they do not advance in our market, if the favorable cold 
weather continues, and the railroad companies between 
here and the eastern markets shall be adequate to get for¬
