The dulness of businoss generally in Havana is not a Mew story; but, from all I can learn, it never was at so ilow an ebb as at present. Predictions in commercial ‘matters are froquently as uncertain as the weather, and ‘the.shrewdest get Mceived.” Naturally, trade here must ‘be affected py events in tho States, and a feeling of inse- curity or a monetary crisis in your large cities is sure to ‘have an effect upon Havana. Therefore, when the recent fall in the price of gold caused a commotion in your ‘Dusiness circles, and was about, it was feared, to create “® panic and any amount of failures, a corresponding feel- sng was experienced here, though I have heard as yet of mo failures. In the meantime the sugar planters appear to be doing well, judging @&om the large shipments ‘abroad and the firmness of present prices. During last ‘week the receipts of sngar from the country, at the ports of Havana and Matanzas, were unusually large, as, “you will see by tho following figures:— 1865, 1863, 804. = 78,000 87,000 47,000 pmonts-abroad the same difference wiil be ‘observed during the week ending on Saturday, the Ist Inst. :— 1865. 1864, Boxes.......... + 48,000 22,000 54,000 Take now tho export of box sugar from the above wamed ports, during the three montis ending March 31, cand a corresponding inprovement 's noticeable:— Boxos........+4.-313,000 Stock on hand. ...279,000 261, 258,000 Prices are rathor high, and at present quite firm at’ Tc. on tho basis of No. 12. But if I might venture an opinion where I once before proved correct, my im- ‘pression is that present prices cannot last, There is an abundance of the article in all the markeis; in some laces there is an evident downward tendency, and some ‘inds have been sold at much below their usual market sprice; and, finally, political events are likeiy to occur in “the States which’ will have a depressing eff r sthe market here should remain go firm I cannot pretend to explain. Let business mon draw their own conclu- sions, In regard to tho tobacco trade it has been for ‘some time merely nom nal. Ono of the university students, either through a spirit of bravado or through’ very different motive, has mu- tilated a portrait of the Queen, which hung in ono of the halls. It is said to be one of the results of the late ‘warm and bitter quarrel between the rival newspapers, which certainly had not a tendency to allay the ill feel- Ming ronsoe | between Creoles and Spaniards, The de- -atruction of the portrait, following so closely upon that quarrel, has called greater @tention to it than it other. ‘wise would obtain, and if the youthful culpr.t should be discovered, which, however, is not likely, the authorities ‘would be tempted to inilict a severe punishment. Speaking of the Q een’s portrait reminds me of the @ingular fact that the democratic and preg-esista news- — of Spain have been perfectly silent concerning F majesty’s recent donation of her private proporty to ‘the State. be ieegino is it not? Havana am sorry to say, sadly degenerating in one @ense. Robberies and attempts at assassination in the “Open bricg lenny at broad noon, are of daily occurretice.

Such of .your readers as are familiar with this sity will ‘anderstand tie perfectly when I tell them that ‘those robberies do not occur in out of tho i places, in ¢ Plaza de the Calle de Ja Reina, the Calzada de Galiano, &c., which are as public and as much thoroughfares as Broadway. In every instance the perpetrators of those -doods are negroes or mulattwes, and it is said to be due in @ great measure to a certain exaltation of mind produced Dy the knowledge that the ci; il war in the States is waged against slaveholders and for the emancipation of the Tspeak knowingly when I state that those of them ‘who can read make a good late yd reading to them the columns of a journal ope much in favor among them, and ‘whose comments they of course understood in their own peculiar way.

The fire, as wo are informed, commenced at seven o'clock last night (March 6), in the saloon of the theatre, through the carelessness of the person in charge of the lamps.

Seven per cent is nevertheless in some instances paid on fancy stocka. Foreign exchange ia dull at 109 for bankers’ sterling at sixty days, and 110 at short sight. Buyers continae to hold off in anticipation of lower rates, of which, how over, there Is no immediate probability. The proclama- tion of the President closing the Southern ports to foreign trade, presents no immediate prospect of a re. opening of these, and the embargo will operate in favor of tho resumption of gold exports and an advance in the market price of foreign merchandise already in the markets. ‘The first auction sale of the “avannah cotton took place today, under the manegement of Mr, Simeon Draper, Three thousand bales were old at 16Ke, # 2be per pound in gold, These low prices surprised the holilers of cotton goode, who were immediately dispoxed towards 9 recession from the quotations of yesterday.
