There has been the usual dearth of business transac tions from first hands to-day, as is common on all steamer days. In the domestic produce market but litte business has been done, and there is but a limited demand for any kind of merchandise, unless we except the article of pota. toes; and, tliough the receipts of the day have been very heavy, an offer of $1 05 was made this morning for 3,000 ‘age choice Buckeyes, and the cash to be furnished be- fore night, and, up to the hour of our leaving the markeia, we did not bear of the offer being taken. There have vecu several sales made during the day at about the usual rates. For wheat the demand has been quite moderate, and bat a limited quantity has been gold; but notwithstanding the sales of late have been gradually dimintshing in quan. tity, the amount in store is constantly decreasing, and bet- ter rates are obtained for the more ordinary grades. ‘There is also some demand for Mediterranean anif Austra- linn seed; and there is,no doubt, a suflicient supply if holoers’ rates can be obtained. * Barley seems to remafn at the notch where it has been for the ‘last three weeks, and, as yet, the enlarged de- mand, which was then anticipated would soon be made, hag not yet been realized, and probably may not be, ak many who have been impressed withthe belief that the crop this year was not an average one have mado ar- Yangements for substitutes. But our producers bave this fact to console them: that, whereas it was selling at 13/0, a1. last year at this time, it {a now worth considera. bly more. The same is also true in regard to cats and potatoes, although there ia loss disparity in the prices of the latter. The greatest difference exists in rogard to wheat; and, although the present prices are but little, if apy, more than on the rates of this seagon in 1358, they can bave no great cause for complaint, for, in genc- ral, the prices are higher than thay were last season. For imported goods the rates of mauy articles are al- so changed. Rice, sugar, candles aud teas were bringing fomowhat better fgures, but the reasons for the decline are fully apparent. In’ the firet place, there is a large number of vessels belonging to Atlantic ports that will take freigbts at low rates rather than lay idle at the docks, and a decline in freights must necessarily affeet the prices in fhe markets to which they are carried; and this, un- coubtedly, is one good reason for the large stock of euch i$ ip this marke consequently, saics resuit in losses to importers and shippers, Contrary to expectations of many, money has been somewhat scat not easy to obtain, at least—wlace ten o'clock, and a large amount of notes of 1] sums haye been offered to moneyed meu for discount, without meet- ing desired accommod: even at larger sacrifices than have been offered in several weeks; and gold bars, which were par 900 fine in the morning, iu consequenes of the incfedsed demand and small supply, advanced after twelve o'clock, and 910 fae brought par; and we hoar of some bara even higher being taken at par, whilo none ‘under 900 fine had been sold for lorw. Js has been de- cidedly the closest stenmer day seen on the wharves in some time, although bankers and brokers quote money easy Ob ge colaterale—betier than sun! Thera ave been some sales at auction during the day, consisting of the usual assortment of clothing, dry goods,” doots, shoes, fancy goots and toys forthe holidays, bat no gales of groceries or heavy mercbandiso, From Carecn Valley we have advices that indicate a great scarcity in provisions. stating that prices are enor- mous.

Miners were arriving in large nom- bers, and unless there are some additions to the amount of provisions now there, prices will still advance. The Great Steamship Race to Aspinwall from New York. OUR ASPINWALL €ORRESPONDENCE. ‘ ASPINWALL, Jan. 2, 1860. Tho North Siar arrived at ber wharf in Aspinwall on the afternoon of the 27th ult., at 5-20 and the Atlantic at 5:5. The passengers by each ship crossed the Isthums early the following morning. ‘The arrival of the North Star in advance of the Atlantic erented the liveliest excitement in Aspinwall. Tho dif- erence in time from New York, a distance of over 1,900 miles, was only about ten minutes. On the evening of the first day out the Atlantic passed the North Star, and left her out of sight long bofore mid- night. Nothing was ecen of her until the fifth day, when the Star hove in sight, off Cape Maysi, and passed the At- lantic abont 2). M. From thence to Aspinwall, about nine hyndred miles, the two ships did not loso sight of each other. Doubtiess cach did its best, and officers, men and pas Sengers joined in the excitement created by the contest. i North Star came in about eight miles ahead.

Battle of Barranquilla—Defent of the Go- vernment Troops by the Revolutton~ lets—President @spina About to Treat ‘With the Victors—A General Agitation im the Federation, &c., &c. OUR PANAMA CORRESPONDENOR. Payama, Jan. 1, 1860, By the arrival of the English steamer at Aspiuwall, on the 30th ult., advices of a highly important character have been received herofrom Bogota to the 9th, and Carthagena, to the 27th December. On the Sth ult. the decisive battle between the revola- tionary forces under Nieta, and the government troops commanded by General Posada, was fought at Barrau- quiila, resulting in the complete tr’umph of the former and total overthrow of the latter. The engagement lasted se- yeral hours. GeneraiPoeada was severely thongh not dangerously wounded. Nieta’s official account of the battle states that Posa- da’s loss amounted to fifty-tbree killed and sixteen wounded, while his own loss was only four killed and six- teen wor ited. This eugagement, as I stated in my last- letter, will doubtiess terminate hostilities. Before it took place, or rather before the result could possibly have been known at Bogota, the federal government hal decided not to in- terfere between the two contending parties in the Stato of Bolivar. I have been permitted to see a private lettor from Carthagena, in which it is stated that President Os- pina has signified his intention to send & commission to the State of Bolivar, to treat with Nieta, with the view to the settlement of the pending questions of a general charac- ter. This is a virtual recognition of Nieta’s government ‘on the part of the federal authorities. ‘The interior States are generally tranquil. The prevail- ing sentiment of the entire Confederation is in favor of peace, and bot little doubt exists that in consequence of the defeat of Posada, and the genera! dissatisfaction ex- pressed throughout the country at the pazeage of the election aud other objectionable laws by the last Con- gress, President Ospina will be forced to recede from his faye of ‘hose measures, aud will have to recommend to next Congress their repeal. Every State in the Confederation except the State of Cundinamarca bas petitioned the general government for their repeal. The State of Autioco, which until recently has refused to take any action on the sub- Ject, bas at length, through its Legisiature, asked for the abrogation of the laws which haye produced so much discontent. As the Legislatures of ll the States of the Granadion Confederation, with the one exception referred to, have protested egainst the enforce- ment of these laws, and bave invoked the general goyern- ment to repeal them, Congress, when it meets in Febru- ary, will hardly dare to resist so strong an appeal. The probability is, therefore, that one of its first acts will be to repeal the obnoxious laws. The United States steamer Saranac having sailed hence for San Jusn del Sur on the 22d ult., there are but two American vessels of war iu port, viz—flag ship Lancaster and sloop Levant. OUR ASPINWALL CORRESPONDENCE. Asprxwata, Jan. 2, 1860. Death of an American Traveller and Explorer—Christmas and Naw Year on the Isthmus, dc. By an arrival yesterday from Bocas del Toro I learn of the death of Dr. Ball, who came out with a party in Sep- tember last, in the achooner Nautilus, to explore for gold. Ee died about two woeks since, at Fish creek. Ican gatber but few particulars of his death. ¢ He left Boco del Toro with a native to explore on Fish creck. Afler being out three days, exposed to drenching rains, they were lost, and Dr. Ball died fro fatigue, suf- fering and starvation. He was buried by two natives, without coffin or funeral. Yon will remember that Dr. Ball was lost once in the | White Mooniains of New Hampshire, and met a narrow escape of life. He was a great traveller. A gentleman now by my side informs me that he once met the Doctor in China, and speaks well of him as a man. Peace to his remains. He sleeps m the evergrocn forest of the Isthmus. His sufferings would have ended sooner had his death mantic been the snows of the Waite Moun- tains. Christmas was duly celebrated hereaad at Panama.
