Cotton has declined.
Decline in Cotton-
The N. O. Delta of the 7th last., says :
The disastrous advices brought by the Liver
pool steamer Cambria, and received here about
twelve days since, have produced a decline of
two cents per pound in our great staple ; Mid
dling Louisiana and Mississippi being worth,
jiltst prior to the receipt of those accounts,
to 0, and now quoted at GJ to 7 cents per lb.
Buyers have come forward, however, very
freely at the reduction, and, notwithstanding
the extreme diliiculty of passing their bills of
exchange, fully 45,000 bales have been sold
during the past fortnight, chiefly for France,
the south or Europe, &c. "Within a day or
two the relief given by these heavy sales has
rendered the market much firmer, and factors
refuse to submit to any further decline. With
regard to the future course of the market,
much will, of course, depend upon the tenor
of the next accounts from England, now due,
and which there is very little reason to hope
will be more encouraging than the last. As
to the estimates of the present crop, very few
now' place it below 2,200,000 bales, and many
at a much higher figure.
The Steamer Washington-
The American steamship Washington made
her trip to Southampton in fifteen days; and
letters from passengers who went out in her,
speak, of her performance in very w'arm terms
of praise. One letter says—
“On the Sunday after leaving New York we
encountered the equinoctial gale from the
East; for the six following days it continued
to blow hard from the same quarter. On Sun
day it commenced to blow' again, even still
harder than on the preceding Sunday, and
lasted for three days and a half, during which
we could not keep our course, owing to the
very high sea.
“The passengers, some of whom cross the
Atlantic twice a year, pronounce this the most
remarkable passage they have ever made.—
The alterations made while at New York have
had the desired effect. The ship is perfectly
easy in the heaviest weather, and j'ou w ould
scarcely believe, by the appearance of things
in the cabin, at the W'orst of times, that you
were in a gale upon the broad waters of the
Atlantic, as the rolling is scarcely perceptible.”
Another letter remarks—“ The ship is the
best sea boat in the world, as I believe, stand
ing upright in all winds and weather.”
The Washington was to leave Southamp
ton on the 24th ult., and is now' fully due.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of
Saturday says—“We are informed that it is
the determination of the directors to send off
the Washington on the 11th, the advertised
day.**
The “Infamous Sub-Treasury ”
The Pennsylvanian says—“ Suppose the gov
ernment funds were at present in the vaults
of a bank, as the Federalists desired ! How
easily that institution, on the strength of the
bad commercial new's from England, and the
demand for specie for the war, could cook up
a panic. The result now', however, is this ;
the money circles are calm, exchanges are
equal, and general security is felt by all classes
of business men. The “infamous Sub-Trea
cury” is only excelled by the “infamous Tar
iff” in ruining the country.”
The Western papers state that the prepara
tions making at the various slaughtering
points in that section of country, indicate a
heavy packing business this w inter ; and it is
inferred from this that the Spring supplies of
Beef and Pork will be quite as large, if not
larger, than those of any previous year.
At St. Louis, the arrangements for slaugh
tering are more ample than they have ever
been before. The Republican says that one
of the houses is sufficiently large to hang at
one time 800 Hogs; in connection with which
a Beef-house is constructed capable of hang
ing 200 head at a time. The pens adjoining
will hold five or six thousand head. At ano
ther house preparations are made for killing
imd hanging up daily 600 hogs and 100 beeves;
and in another for killing and hanging daily
&00 to 1,000 hogs, and 100 to 200 beeves.
An accident occurred on the railroad near
Springfield, Mass.',’ on' Saturday last, by w'hich
seven emigrant passengers were killed and se
veral others horribly mangled. The accident
was caused by the falling of a break upon the
rails under the cars, which pitched the train
down the embankment.
On the Safe Side-
It is said by one who knows, though w'c do
not vouch for the fact, that a young man, in
New Haven, Conn., of great economy, w r as ac
customed, before his marriage, to rideout with
his betrothed, but with the express stipulation,
that in case he did not marry her, she should
pay half the expense of the team.

The Theatre-
Mrs. Mowatt’s play of “ Fashion” was rep
resented for the first time in this city on last
Wednesday evening.
The characters w ore strongly cast and well
supported, and the play went off with shouts
of laughter amid the rapturous applause of a
delighted audience. Miss Clara Ellis as “Ger
trude,” and Mrs. Forbes as “ Seraphina,” were
beautiful delineations. Mr. Crisp, in his ori
ginal character of “ Count Jolimatre,” made
the Count just crisp enough, consequent
ly a most agreeable relish. The character of
“ Adam Trueman,” by Mr. Forbes, was also
an elegant personification of the blunt, w r arm
hearted Cataraugus Farmer. Mrs. Mehen, as
“ Mrs. Tiffany,” Mr. Fuller, as “Snobson,”
Mr. Wolfe, as Adolphe , acquitted themselves
with credit in their respective parts. To
night “ Fashion” is to be repeated for the last
time. Those w'ho have not witnessed its per
formance should avail themselves of the op
portunity offered. It is decidedly one of the
best acting plays of the day, and
NO MISTAKE.

MOUNT EAGLE TRIPOLI.
A REMARKABLE mineral, pronounced by
geologists to be a great rarity in nature and
known to them by the name of Tripoli, has lately
been discovered in this country, although but in one
bed, of very narrow limits, all owned by the “Mount
Eagle Manufacturing Company," incorporated for
the sole purpose of its manufacture.
The article is excellent for burnishingandclean
ing all finished metallic and glass surfaces, such as
gold, silver, brass, Britannia and steel ware, win
dow glass, »sec. Nothing has ever yet been discov
ered equal to the pure Tripoli, and the common
language of the consumer is, it is the best thing 1
ever saw. The genuine article is for sale by tlie
exclusive agent for Augusta. WM. HAINES.

DR. CHRISTIE’S GALVANISM.
(N ALVANISM is supposed to be identical with
If Electricity and Magnetism, and these won
drous agents have long been known to possess great
efficacy in the cure ot some very painful and tedi
ous diseases. These benefits, however, have been
greatly lessened by a w r ant of means for their pro
per application. This has been entirely and suc
cessfully remedied by Dr. CHRISTIE'S GAL
VANIC RINGS, BELTS, BRACELETS, and
other articles, which are adapted to any part of the
system with perfect safety and certainty of bene
ficial effect. In all Nervous Complaints, or those
which arc caused by any derangement of the Ner
vous System, such as Paralysis, Tic Doloreaux,
Bronchitis. Neuralgia, Chronic llheumatism, Epi
leptic Fits, Tarmors, Dyspejma, &c., the effect of
DR. CHRISTIE'S Galvanic articles is truly won
derful ; the most perfect cures being often made
when all hope had gone, and physic and the phy
sician had equally failed. Pamphlets with full
descriptions and the most respectable testimonials
may be had gratis of the authorized Agent, or they
will be sent by mail.
O^Cautiow. —The great celebrity and success
of Dr. Christie's Galvanic and Magnetic Curatives,
has caused them to he counterfeited by unprinci
pled persons. To protect the public against de
ception there is but ONE AUT 11 O 111 Z E D

whom alone the Genuine articles can be procur
