Hagers, late of the ship Brillient, which was byrot by the rebel pirate steamer Alabama, or “290,” Peports that another ship was in sight when the Brilliant was burn: making up towards the wreck, probably withthe hope of saying life, and as another light was seen at night, it is sumed she also was burned. The vessel which brought the capt: to this port only brought eightof the crews of the burnt ships. The rest, sixty in number, would be put aboard the other vessels fallen in with by the Emily Farnham. The Brilliant was built at East Boston, and with her freight and outfit cost $44,000. She was owned by Messrs. Jenkins & Co., of New York, a Capt. Hagar, all of whose property was on er. The following is \ correct list of the vessels destroyed by the “200"—Ships Brilliant. Oc- mulgee, Beuj. Tucker; barks Virginia, Elisha Dunber, Ocean Rover; brig Altamah; schrs. Courser, Weather Gauge and Starlight, and a ship, name unknown. One hundredand ninety- one prisoners were lunded on the Island of lores. The Alabama is 2 wooden vessel of 1,200tons burden, copper bottom, 210 feet lorg, rather narrow, and psinted black. She carries three Svs on a amidships. pounder rifled pivot gun forward of the bridge, and a #8-) the main deck. She Nas tracks laid forward for « piyot bow-gun and for a pivot stern chaser. mS are of the Blakeley pattern, made by We Preston, Liverpool, dated 1:02. The pirate sieamer is bark rigged, and is represented to go 13 knots under sail and 15 knots under steam. She can get up steam in 20 minutes. Nhe has al] the national flags, but usually sets the St. George's Cross on approach+ ing a vessel. Her complement of men is 120, but she is anxious to ship more. The Virginia was captared Sept. 17, in lat. 39 lon. 31. She was stripped of all her valuables, and burned. The isha Danbar was taken next day, and burned. The crews of ves- sels were putin irons on the deck of the Ala- bama, and kept there hightand day till trans- ferred to the ity Farnham. Capt. Gifford, of the Dunbar, says he nnder- stood that the Alabama would cruise abour the Grand Kank for a few weeks, to destroy large American ships. They had knowledge of two ships being loadéd with arms for the United States, and were in hi to catch them. The Rebels were anxious to catch the Dreadnaught and confident of their ability to capture or ran away from any vessel in the United Stites. The steamer being in the track of both ontward and home ward-hound vessels, and more or less being in sight every day, she will make great havoc among them. The Alabama took her armament and crew on — — seen Western Islands, from an Eng! . Her crew are principally Bog- lish, her officers being com} od mga alry of the South.” All water consumed aboard is condensed. She has eight months’ provisions, besides what is being plundered, and a supply of 400 tons of coal. . Frem New Orleans.

But little business is doing. Wool has de- clined four cents, on account of the decline in exchange on New York. With the present rate of exchange, shipments of domestic produce to the Atlaniic ports must cease.
