England of the measures resorted to by the British
ministry, for authorising the Bank to extend its
means of assistance to the mercantile community,
hare been mainly instrumental in restoring confi
dence and giving an impulse to the transactions, as
well as imparting more firmness to holders. But
the buying has been, upon the whole, rather more
moderate than might perhaps have been anticipat
«J Ifom the above intelligence, owing to lh • small
quantity of Cotton ollered, and the sales have been
restricted to the immediate necessities of the trade;
prices however have recovered some of the lost
ground, and are nowf.2 a3 higher for American de*
•rriptions, VV hether the remedy adopted by the
English government will effectually remove the
Weight that has so long pressed upon the commer
cial world, seems in the opinion of many persons to
be a matter of doubt, and considered merely as of
temporary benefit; the measure has however gen
erally speaking, been greeted with evident symp
toms of satisfaction, and the immediate con equen
ces have been ofa most salutary character. Our
latest adviced from th<- U. S. are to 10th inst., but
their contents were devoid of anything peculiarly I
interesting to our market,which is at present chiefly
under the influence of the situa.im of things on the I
other side ofihe channel.
“ I*. S.—Since writing the above, wc have re- j
eeived New York dales to the 15th inst., by the
Hibernia steamer, the tenor of which, coupled with
the news of a reaction in England, has produced I
an unfavorable effect in our market, and led to a ;
decline of fully f. 2 on the quotations of our annex
ed Price-Current.

the 19th inst. 1,891 bales Upland (1,202 per Kail
tload.) and 23 bales Sea Islands. The exports for

board not cleared of 9,4-18 bales Upland, and 689
bales Sea Island, against 30,357 bales Upland, and
318 bales Sea Island at same time last year.
The market has been exceedingly dull during
the week, and the operations very limited, though
within the range of the quotations of last week.—
The receipt ot the Acadia’s accounts by Telegraph
yesterday morning, has put a stop to all business.—
i’hc accounts appear worse than any before re

to their rapid transmission by Telegraph.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20.— Cotton.— Arrived
since the 16th instant, 13,895 bales. Cleared in the
same time 5241 bales—making an addition to stock
of 8654 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all
on shipboard not cleared on the 19th inst., a stock
of 127,699 bales.
At the time of making up our last report, it was
confidently asserted, and generally credited, that
the European advices per steamship Washington,
at New York, from Liverpool, fiv«* days later than
those brought by the Caledonia, were in by private
express. This intelligence, coming so immediately
upon the very gloomy accounts brought by the
Caledonia, so completely unsettled our market
that nothing like accurate quotations could be ar
rived at; and, as we remarked at the time, some
sales were reported at rates considerably less than
the figures we gave. On Friday more'full parti
culars of the Washington’s accounts were received.
The rather less gloomy complexion of the foreign
accounts, and the fact that the rather large sales
of Wednesday had relieved the market of most of
the important lists offering, caused holders to as
sume a firmer position on Thursday, and the sales
of that day were confined to some 2000 bales,
the market clo at a further improvement of an
| a £ ol a cent. V aster day there was an increased
activity in the inquiry, anil sales to a large extent
could probably have been effected ; but the mode
rate supply offering, and the still highre rates
x claimed by holders, prevented buyers from opera
ting to the extent desired, though the transactions
amounted to about 4600 bales; and the prices paid
at the close showed an advance of fully § of a cent
from the lowest point on Wednesday morning.—
We have therefore altered our quotations to con
form as nearly as possible to this improvement, 1
though it must again be remembered that in the
very unsettled state of the market, and under cir
cumstances of great discrepancy in the views and
representation of brokers in regard to classification,
it is quite impossible to arrive at strict accuracy in
our figures. The business has been done almost
exclusively in the qualities ranging from Low Mid
dling to Middling Fair, the higher grades being
nominal, as for some time past, though hold at ma
terially advanced rates. Total sales of the week
sum up 20,700 bales, of which 15,500 bales were
disposed of during the past three days, taken most
ly for England and the North, with some parcels
for France and Spain and the, Continent.

By Telegraph-
NEW YORK, Nov. 23, 6 p. M.-There is a fair
demand for Flour at a slight advance, but the ope
rations have been light on account of prices being
unsettled. About 2,000 bbls. Genesee flour were
•old at $6 18|, most holders demanding higher
rates. Western and Oswego are held at $6 12,
and Southern nominally at $6 37^.
The market for wheat is unsettled, and buyers
and sellers cannot agree as to prices.
Corn is also unsettled, though about 10,000 bu
shels were sold to-day, at 72 cents for white, 73 for
mixed, and 74 for yellow.
Corn meal is held firm, and holders ask an ad
rance, but no operations have taken place yet.
Tbc Cotton market is much depressed. There
were sale* to-day of about 400 bale# at a doeline of

TALLAHASSEE, Nov. 20.— Cotton. —We have
very little to remark as to this article. The ac
counts from Europe are so disastrous, that every
thing is unsettled, and the few bales sold is no in
dication what the article is worth. Sales of small
lots have been effected at 6£ to 7 cents,
tity could be sold at those prices.

OLD PIANO FORTES,
MADE AS GOOD IN TONE AS WHEN NEW.
MR. O. R. RICE, (formerly of New York,)
Tuner and Repairer of
PIANO FORTES AND ORGANS,
i Respectfully informs those owning Instruments,
’ that he is prepared to do anything required ia his
1 pro.ession. He has in his possession recommenda
j lions from Mr. J. Chickering, Boston; Messrs.
| Nunns A Clarke; Firth, Halil A Pond; Stoddart,
Worcester A Duncan, New York, and many in the
South. A few are here inserted.
Boston, June 22, 1813.
I take great pleasure in recommending Mr. O. B.
RICE as a Tuner of Piano Fortes, and do not hesi
tate to say that he will do justice to any who may
wish to employ him. J. CHICKERING. j
Augusta., (Ga.) March 9, 1811. |
Mr. O. B. RICE having been engaged in this
place for several months, in tuning and repairing
Piano Fortes, 1 take pleasure in stating that he
proves to be an excellent tuner and experienced
repairer of Piano Fortes. J therefore recommend
him with confidence to the patronage of the pub
lic. ANTON IVERSEN.
Columbia, Nov. 9,1843.
I hereby certify, that Mr. U. B. RICE has been
long known to me as a tuner of Piano Fortes, and
I consider him one of the most competent to tune
j and repair Pianos I have ever met with. I there
fore confidently recommend him to those desiring
Pianos tuned. I profess to have some knowledge
in his line myself and speak understandinglv.
SAMUEL WEIR.
MR. RICE has spent some lime in the Factories
North since '41, and has made several important
improvements in repairing Pianos and Organs, and
will give SIOO if any can be found to excel him in
tuning or repairing. He has abandoned the old
practice of softening and brushing the old leathers
on the hammers, and other parts of the machinery,
knowing that it gives better satisfaction to put on
new leathers and cloth throughout, where it is
needed. The tone in Pianos becomes harsh by use,
j and can be restored in all Instruments that have
been well made.
His price generally for turning, re-leathering,
Ac., N unns A Clarke’s. Chickering's, and similar
Instruments, will be from 10 to 15 dollars. Old
English Pianos, from 15 to 20 dollars.
For Tuning in the City, Three Dollars. I
If any desire it, he will call and examine their
instruments, and make known the cost of putting
them in order.
Mr. R. intends staying in Augusta but a few days,
!if he does not get employment. As he now resides
j in Cokesbury, Abbeville District, S. C. he will
visit Augusta once or twice a year, if patronized.
Those, wishing to employ him, will please leave
their address at Mr. Grenville’s Book Store, or
Mr Chaffee’s Furniture Ware Rcom.

from all other Clowns in not copying anything from
anybody else; in being always the best at any of
the Exercises going on in the Ring; his Panto

truly astonishing. The Company will enter the

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 I
Eagle Manufacturing Company,” incorporated for ;
the sole purpose of its manufacture.
The article is excellent for burnishing and clean
ing all finished metallic and glass surfaces, such as
gold, silver, brass, Britannia and steel ware, win
dow glass, Ac. Nothing has ever yet been discov
ered equal to the pure Tripoli, and the common
language of the consumer is, it is the best thingl
ever saw. The genuine article is for sale by the
exclusive agent for Augusta. WM. HAINES.
