ridge, overlooking the fertile meadows of tiro Schuylkill, brought us in an hour and a half to the little village of Port Kennedy. Leaving our horses at the Inn, the landlord, who had ! immediately divined the object of our visit, di- 1 rected us to the lime quarries in the side of the hill, which rises back of the village. Entering the quarry, a small aperture in the | rock, revealed by a recent blast, about fifty ! feet below the surface of the earth, showed us i the opening of the cavern. We were plenti fully supplied with candles, so, striking a ' light, we crawled cautiously through the nar- 1 row entrance. The lowess of the arched rock | rendered it necessary to creep on our hands and knees, though here and there little cir cular domes were hollowed out above us, where it was mearly possible to stand upright. About twenty feet from the month, the passage widened, and finally, rising from our constrain ed position, wo stood in a chamber, whose di- | mensions were invisible through the gloom, j ■which the combined light of our torches failed ro penetrate. But, on going further, we found j a number of stakes driven into the floor, bear- j iug extinguished lights. Those we re-kindled, and as one by one the twinkling tapers stream- j ed out through the darkness, the shadowy out- • lines of the subterranean hall grew more uud l more distinct. We mounted to the further end of the as cending floor, and looked back on a magnifl vent chandler, nearly sixty feet above us. A sort of natural comice ran along the g'des, seeming as if here, in the rocky architecture of Nature, there was a harmony with the creations of human skill. The rough, ir regular outlines of the stone were faintly shown in the light of twenty torches, and at the far ther end, a pale, blucish glimmer, winding in from the daylight, made the scene the-more solemn and spectral. Leaving this hall, the passage ascends at a steep angle, but it is so filled up with clay and stones, which seem to have been shattered down by some violent agency, that we were again obliged to stoop, and climb up slowly with lights in our hands. At the distance of about one hundred and sixty feet from the entrance, ; the passage is entirely choked up, and the cav ern apparently ceases. We are of opinion, how ever, that it would be found to extend much further, were the rubish removed. While we were sitting near the extremity, looking down under the low, black arches, Mr. Fleming who had been carefully examining the walls, cried out that he had discovered a small opening, nearly filled with dirt, at the very bot tom of the passage. We procured a shovel from the workmen without and in a short time a space was cleared, large enough to admit his body. Lying flat on the damp clay, he slowly squeezed himself through,and disappeared from our view. Ihe glimmer of his torch at length was lost, we waited with some anxiety, and presently a shout came up from the bowels of the earth, sounding as if* uttered within a hol low barrel None of us had made any preparations for fmch a feat, but we at once threw ourselves upon the clayey floor, and crept downwards, head foremost, into the aperture. It was barely large enough to admit our bodies; and in addi tion to the perils which threatened our torches, many were the bruises wo received from the rough edges of the arches, under which we crawled. After going about thirty feet in this manner, the passage inclining downwards, we j came into a small chamber nearly liigh enough to permit of standing.—This opened into a i larger one, terminating in a splendid hail, of I the purest white limestone, covered with spark ling incrustations. Here we found Mr. Fleming enjoying the triumph of his discovery, an 1 join ing together in a shout, at the top of our voices, we made the subterranean echoes ring again. The sides of this hall are nearly circular and from a beautiful ornamental cornice which J crowns them, springs a dome, fifteen feet iu | height, its outline slightly broken by the ir regular projections of the glittering rock. The atmosphere was delightfully cool and pure, and : our voic-' had a remarkably deep and sonorous * sound when speaking. M e were now eager to make further discove- j ries. Returning again to the small chamber, | we found near the top a narrow opening, through which, with some difficulty, Mr. Flem ing entered. While we were making ready to follow him we were joined by Mr. Kennedy, j the proprietor of the lime quarries, who, hav- 1 iug entered the main cavern, heard our voices ! and crept after us. Guarding our lights well, we all climbed through the opening and found ourselves iu a steep and irregular apartment, ! which appeared to have been created by some sudden shock of the earth. We saw the light of Mr. Fleming’s torch in a sort of chasm on the left, at the bottom of which was a scanty thread of water. The ceiling above us termi nated ill points, resembling hollow cones, and from the rock, which, was sandy and crumbling, \ hung formations resembling stalactites. At ■ the top of the hill of sand which formed the floor, w r c found another aperture, which was however, too narrow to be entered, so we de cided to return to the entrance to procure re freshmcnts,and tools for further exploration.— We left tills last chamber very willingly, for the rock was so soft that it could be broken with our hands and a blast in the quarry with out, might have shaken down pieces of the ceiling Upon us. The light of open day, and the noon heat, reflected from naked walls of limestone blind ed and scorched us. The air was like that of an oven. Our apj>earanee, on emerging from the cavern, was irresistible ludicrous. Our clothes were covered from head to foot, with a , coating of red clay, and our faces plentifully streaked with the same, through which streams of perspiration, caused by our hot air bath, made winding channels. Amidst the laughter of the quarrymen, we made our way back to the hotel, procured a dinner, which the sable hostler carried after us into the cavern, and, armed with the necessary tools, again entered. We dined in the grand hall, which was splen didly illuminated for the occasion, and the viands speedily disappeared under a most vo racious appetite. The gnomes and all other genii who devdl in these under earthly re giogns, uardiug t heir hidden treasures locked in the heart of mountains, would have found themselves matched. Our researches met with little success the second time. The passages w'ere so filled with loose sand that we were obliged to give up the attempt, though in the Ml belief that the grandest part of the cavern remains yet to be discovered. AMi at we saw, however, most amply repaid our time and trouble, and we doubt not that through the summer, it will be extensively visited, as a remarkable natural curiosity. It is undoubtedly the most inter esting cavern in this part of the State. Others very probably may yet be discovered in the limestone region extending through the Great Valley. c Special Notices.

During the first three i days of the present week between 7 and 800 bales changed hands; and when we closed our report on Tuesday last, preparatory to the publication of our i semi-weekly report there was no perceptible change in prices; on Wednesday, however, near 800 bales were sold, and purchasers obtained a de cided advantage on all classifications below fair and fully fair. \\ ithin the last two days some <l5O bales have been sold, at somewhat unsettled rates. In the present position of affairs, it is impossible to give quotations for most qualities with any decree ot accuracy, but the fair and fully fair sorts sus tain the quotations of the preceding week, viz . 1 al2 cts. The actual transactions since our last, embrace 1930 bales at the following prices:—ll bales stained at 9£; 28 at 10j; 279 at 10.1; 3G7 at log; 32 at 10$; 100 at I0J; 100 at 11; 224 at JIJ; 367 at If 14iat11A; 04 at Il£; IG2 at 11|; and 50 bales at 12c. Received since our last 612 bales. There have been no transactions in any description of Long Cotton during the week; shipments, however, are priegmade on planters' account. Corn. —The market continues very much de pressed. There is a lair supply on sale, and little or no demand existing at present. Small parcels have been sold, principally at 75c. for Country, but i to force sales to any extent, prices would go below J I this figure. We quote nominally 72 a 75e., includ- | ing bags.

The stock remaining on hand last evening consist of 10,565 bales Upland and 1156 bales Sea Island. The past week has again beerrone of uncommon 1 inactivity in Uplands as well as Sea Islands. We can give as a reason for this dullness the want of purchasers, as well as the stock being very light indeed. The few that are in the market are anx ious to procure the liner qualities, which are very scarce. 110 bales in square packages brought 12c. but as this is not a fair criterion to judge by, to gether with the irregularity of prices, we refrain from attempting to give quotations. The sales i amount to 193 bales as follows : 11 at 10, Bat 10A; -•5 at 10|, 25 at 11, 16 at llj, and 110 bales at 12 1 12 cents per lb.

Fare j | from Petersburg to Baltimore supper included, $4. la the putting forth of the above Schedule,we have been guided and admonished by the knowledge we j have of what other lines have already suffered in giving the Traveller false information respecting j their Schedule time, and have, to the best of our knowledge and belief, made an average time of the j arrival and departure between Charleston and Baltimore, by the Bay Route, for the last two ; months, during which period there has not been a i single failure, by the Boat, to arrive at Baltimore i in time to take the Morning Train for Philadelphia i and the several Routes going North, South, East, and West. The Bay Company have been in existance up ward of Twenty Years,and through this long perioch their Boats, built exprcssliy for the route, have sue- j cessfully run without loss of Life or Property— this fact alone should, and we believe will, be satis factory to the Travelling Public, that the Chesa- Ceak Bay Route is one of the safest in the whole nion. We were prepared and fully expected to meet with strong opposition from the Monopoly Line, but had hoped that the warfare would have been con ducted in a business like and honorable way, and 1 that their Cards would have contained none of that j misrepresentation and false innendoes with which i i they are filled againsj the Bay Line, However, we j care not, knowing that we have the cheapest and j 1 most pleasant route; pledging ourvelves to convey I the travelling public by our schelduie,we are willing to abide the issue and leave the result to their choice. further information will be cheerfully given ancmckets can be had, by application to the under signed at the Charleston Hotel.
