U. S. Ship Psacocr, at Set, May 25, 1836
Oh * my friend, you little imagine how tc
riiousis becoming this voyaging in the East—
There are, to be sure, mmy curiou < and nor.
cl things constantly presenting themselves,
but they do not compensate me for the miser
ies we undergo, which are increased by the
reflection that at home every thing is delight
ful and pleasant. For a month past we have
had neither bread, nor flour to make it of, and
we are under the dire necessity of eating rice
inAcad. which the seamen assure me is almost
entirely composed of water, and those who
live on it are liable to become blind. Mv own
feelings strongly dispose me to think tills is
correct, for 1 am either getting blind, or this
ink. has grown very pale. I trust, however,
you may be able to decipher this most melan
choly of all my letters.
Last evening at sunset, when, at usual, the
band was playing on the quarter-deck, I took
my station oa the Uflrail, with many others, to
look at a grand and soothing scene before us.
The gnest island ofllai-nan.jnstal the entrance
of the GulfofToitquin, wltich is as large as
Ireland, was not mure than ten miles oif. Mass
es of hravey clouds had gathered over it,
forming a huge, dark vault, into which the
peaks and tops of the many mountains and
bills of the island rase in a most picturesque
manner. In the foreground floated a light,
white scud, and the whole received the rays of
the setting sun, which were reflected in a
thousand tints. Doth vessels were rolling be
fore the wind, and glancing over a smooth sea
at the rate of sis knots. How beautifully
swelled the cloud of canvass that swept the
little Enterprise over the ocean. The band
played J< Home, sweet hoax’.'* Oh 1 thought
I, there they hare plenty 1»< at and drink—oh,
for a twist loaf and a lamp a I fresh butter. 1
looked at the selling sou, and wished to sen I
by him, as he departed to ruUM- you people on
the other side of the world to a wow day, n
message of kindness, but he urns off and left
the ligatening of these skies to the m ton and
stars,— and rae to send my message by the
usual slow process of pen and paper.
The evening, like many otlins of late, was
spent on the forecastle, where our half -t;.rv
ngcondition begot mein lirs of other lions,
and the good things of this l.fc. ‘ M h it would
you give, now,' said a long, tall, slim forctop
man, named Stephen, * fur a beefsteak and
ingius, with plea y of ‘soft tommy* at that, and
may be a dish of codec* ?’
‘A month’s pay, by G—!’ exclaimed » hun
gry -looking, httle forecastle-man. ‘When 1
get paid olf, which mist he in a year. I’ll have
me a turkey, shilled with sasingers, ami wash ,
her down wi; It grog with no water in it, and (
uo man sludi noac it—Til cat every hi: my-]
self.’
‘ Vou in iy h tve your turkey, if you only let [
me have,’ said a third, • .soilie lived fish mid I
apple dumplings.’ |
•tVcIl, them’s all mighty good, hut 1 goes for i
codfish and pelaJies, twice laid,’ said a fourth. !
•Jive lur a4,/<o'leg o' muttun, with them little j
green, sour-tasted peak, nuddriaved hutter and i
jiarslcy.’
* That’s not bad'—Here I must confers na- ■
lure got the better of me, ol d 1 was obliged
to wipe the corners of my mouth, which 'was
running over. 1 was a silent spectator, but
not the only one. A marine, in his suit of gray,
eat high above the little group that had gather
ed on the deck, who, at every dish named,
seemed to move his s. at a little, as from the
discomfort of his pod,ion, and inclm d his ear i
closer towards th.-speakers. The night wiw
very clear, moonlit and starry. Except the
noise of the ocean under tits oo >vs, ai it. was
dashed off in a furrow off lam, right mid I.■ f
as the ship rolled onward, nil was .still.
‘That’s not bad,’ repeated .Stephen ; ‘hut ;
if you don't like my beefsteak and ingins , I
what do you say to u great big dish of human 11
cpgs "
‘ Ham and eggs,* groaned the marine, 'm it- 1
cents of deep sgony, *oh, Gt.l! Ha.n :ui 1
eggs.’ And he slowly gat down from hiss, at. |
walked away with his eyes turned towards hr
moon, groaning between his half dost d li p t,
4 Ham and egg..’ The poor fellow, thou flit
1, how much he must sutler, living as he d ties
now delusively on beef and pork, hard ;.-ail
ed, and rice.
From eating, the conversation turned u p m ;
various animals, and the.r design, and t in
uses of their ditl'eront parts. At laslJ sigl
Stephen said that he had often woadcrod • troy I
wo didn’t always have the broad tail sheep on
board ship, because it is the most singula fly
provided animal in the world, “idix of’ei n,”
said lie, “ would keep n ship's company for :
ever in fresh mutton, if they woiildu’t oat
th; tails. Vou see tins is the must curium esl
of all sheep, and you can gel plenty of Vir. ill
the Cape of Goad Hope. The way you in tsl
do, always to have mutton out «f ’em wl mi
you go to kill is, wrap Ins tad iu a blanket no
as to keep X warm, and when it's killed, y on
leave about two inches of the back bone wi ih
the tail, and then lay it away in a snug, d ry
place. It you do this carefully, (you see, tl 11,-
broad tail of a broad-: .id sheep is just like il nr
root of a tree,) in about six weeks il will
sprout out into a lamb. We had soma o i
board of au lug.email 1 sailed in, and tli )
only thing I could sec against il is, that thosi i
young growing lambs, ss they can't got deal •
of the great lug tail, keep crying and bleating
ail the while, so us nobody can sleep lor the
bloody thtags, no way you can Kx it.”
“ Steve,’, said the captain of Hit forecastle,
an old weather-beaten tar, “ if it hand’nt bap.
pened that i have seen some things in my
time as bird as that sheep yarn, damn me if 1 |
could believe it liut 1 was ouee up the Sai
son river, hero just astern of us, iu Cochin >
China, where they have eggs, moat as good
to carry to sea as them broad-tail sheep.
Them fellows likes rotten eggs better than
fresh ones, and you buy (rush eggs at half
price. We bad some of ’em atiorad, uu I
three days after we gut to sea, they began to
hatch out of themselves, and as they were j
very large eggs, tiro chickens was big enough ,
to eat iu a week, so we bad plenty of (rush |
grub ail live tame. Vou in.gut hoar of'em J
crowing before they got nut of the shell. Ami (
there was two eggs that bad twins iu 'em, mid
tall cocks, and garoe «l that. What do yon t
think of the little deeds showing temper be
fore they got into the open a.r Vou could
Jiaar ’em Hying at each other, flapping their j
wings, and crowing most ail the nine. At
Jast you i o dd.i't hear but one; and when tile
shells was broke we found non had killed
t'other. The captain kept the liveonde,and
sold ’em for twenty dollars e-piece in Man ila,
■where tliey are very devils for cock-lights.
■Now, you see some eggs below now that is
hutching, because it is so hot on the bi rth
deck, and you can believe what I tell you.
J3ut the queerest feller of all was one tun
.steward had. When they broke the shell,
which was very haid, we found in it a little
Jien sitting on thirteen dear JiUlc eggs !”
I leave you to believe or not as you please ;
tout I cannot credit these stories, though there
is no question about the eggs h itching now
■on the berth-deck, which is actually as hot as
an Egyptian batching oven, uiul ihus the phe
nomenon is accounted for,
I retired to bod, my mind now thinking of
home and something to eat. Ai list I red a
sleep, and begin to dream of seeing the
sailors, as I do almost every dav, eating
rice mingled with their ten. Fr-in that 'i
thought we arrived at New York, and
straight I walked to a celebrated eating house,
the name of which I do not remember stilus
moment. “ Beefsteak without gravy ” “Go
ming, sir—beefsteak without gravy in No.
7-" This seemod to be echoed along the
great hall on which numerous htila boxes o
pened, and at last seemed to be answered by
*■ Pudding without eau- e.” Oh ! thought i,
what taste j and, at if to show my superiori
ty hi this respect, ( bawled out at the top ol
my voice, determined that every Lody rli i’.lld

with pleasure when 1 heard the order repeal

There I eat, happy «l last to get something to
_ eal. The e.hsfling dish was brought, and the
j. materials for a sallad, which I set to work
q mixing, thinking how delighted some of my
r- messmates would be to join me. But nla>,

I hei n given in tlio public papers of t lie pro

J thank you for that foibearancc; lor with the
Enquirer, another paper was snowii me, con
-I,lining the report of Major Kirby’s evidence,
■ in cunneclion with winch, 1 am made to speak
m terms both disrespectful and injurious of a
II tgn fnnetio i.iry, liia Excellency, the Gover
nor of Ahtb.iiiin. 1 insure you, that this is nil
error. Not a syllable of tins character es
caped my lips j nor have 1 uttered a political
sentiment before tins Court. 1 did, however,
on the occasion alluded to, regret or complain
tint his E.V' iTeney had not condescended to
acknowledge either of my letters to him, of
ItboDlst of May last—both of which, ns 1
slated, were conceived in respect, and ex
pressed m the language of courtesy ; and i
j showed, by Major Ktrhy, that they were sent
I in duplicate and by two several conveyances.
I nut lit I. 1 uii|groeo oomu
niniit, that I had experienced in my operations,
(owing to a combination of untoward circuit*,
stances,) from the uon-i'pccptiou of any an
swer, and added that, it I had thmi ’ht of il
| in time, I might have caused an interrogatory
| to be sent, m llm Excellency ; bur. tli.it, poijsi-
I1) v, night in that case, have treated my inter-
I rogatory as he tioated my letter*a In this, I
imy have done an injustice rather to myself
Ilian the Govern nr, and which i may sincere
ly regret on better information. With linn I
( have not fie honor of being personally ac
quainted, and know of no reason in lire world
why 1 should not entertain for Ida private, as
well us Ids public character, the highest res
pect. Probably, it occti.s to me, on reflec
tion, lie came to the conclusion, that the infor
mation I sought (or, trom him, would he, or
had been, obtained through another channel;
but that, also having failed mo, it became im
portant to me to show to the Cinirt that I
took every measure to ensure the reception of
my letters, lienee the questions to Major
Kirby.
Who the Reporter in question may be, T
do not certainly know. 1 think it probable
however, that he was introduced to me a f.ivv
days ago at tiie Court room. Iliad never
known that person before, or have had any
other communication with him in any form.
From two or i Isrco of the printed reports that
I have seen, the writer evidently enteiiains for
inn sentiments of good wi!; fir which lam du
ly thankful : tut m those particular reports, he
Inis certainly given my language but very par
tially, aml in several eases, like that noticed
J above, Ims made me speak ilisrospeclfully,und
even harshly, when no disrespect was express
ed or intended. This may, in ti great degree be
accounted lor from the tad, that the supposed
writer has nevi r been seen, ns 1 learn on en
■q nry, to make a mate in Court.
At the eom n.'nee nent or lh<a Court, n

FREDERICK, Jan. 7, 1837.
I »m 'again at the rcpoiter’s table in the Hall n f
' i the Rreal military tribunal, with increased facili
' j ties for llio acquisition ol interesting incidents for
’ : your readers. Tha Inclement weather ami bad ,
1 condition of the rrteds eomewhat retarded the ar
1 rival of the members, but they arc now ail Itrre,
* and will proceed with the case of General Scott
in due form. 'The General looks indisposed ;
* laboriously engaged during the recess, and parli
* cipating in tire common culatth of ihc season, be
has lost much of his ruddiness: A few days how
ever, will restore him to his wonted health—
General Gaines arrived yesterday in the cars from

mas.’ Ho is in fine spirits, and, as report says,
’ is determined to drag from their coverts the true

of him the explanation* so justly due to the A
mcrican people,
SATfanav, Jan. 7(h.
This wasthc most interesting day of the whole
session. At an early hour, the Court room was
crowded in anticipation of the appearance ot
Major General Gaines, whose objoclionsto Major
General Macomb as the presiding oflicer of this
court, have been publicly avowed, and whoso well
earned fame ns a soldier will forever render him
dear to his countrymen. —Aa soon as the Prcsi
-1 dent announced the readiness ot the Court to
proceed to business, Major Gcnl. IScott requested
that the deposition of Getil. Clinch in continua
tion of hie chain of evidence might be read—
There were”eeid ho “ eome queetions which I
omitted to put to Oenl. C. while here, Mr. Presi
dent, and I availing myself of the kindness of the
Judge Advocate, who in visiting Washington.,
obtained from the General in that city, the written
answers. —’Tis to these I refer, and I bug that
they may be read.” They wereroadaccutdingly
, uni are in keeping with the testimony hitherto
furnished by that General.—Other unimportant
testimony vvns about being read to elucidate which
Gcnl. .Scott was upon the floor, when the princi
jnl door of the chamber vvns thrown open and in
walked Gcnl. Gaines, in full uniform, wearing
the splendid sword presented to him hy the legis
lature of Virginia; accompanied by two Aids de
Camp. General G., without taking a seat, pro
ceeded to the front us tlio President, and seizing
the first interval of silence, addressed the Court—
“l am here, may it please the Court; by Ihc or
ders of the Secretary of War, ami 1 ask that the
Judge Advocate may Ire directed to read the sever
al orders from the War Department on tbe nuh
jecl”—The Court accordingly instructed the
Judge Advocate to comply with the General’s
desiie, and the orders, calling the Court to inquire
loin the failure ol the Indian Campaigns in Geor
gia and Florida, under Ihc conduct us Major Gen
eral ricutt, and the circumstances attending the
uiiuudunised publication of olficial papers hy Muj.
Gen. Gaines, were immediately read.—During
the reading Genl. G. remained standing, and at its
completion, observed “ May it please tlio Court,
I have been ordoreil to appear before you, and I
have done so ; and I must be allowed to say that
tbe Court is proceeding illegally. 1 am a party
in Iba trial now pending and demand the right
of cross questioning witnesses, examining docu
mentary evidence, <Ste.” The Court objected,
and assured Genl. Gaines, that it differed with
him in opinion on the subject, and birvlcd in very
delicate terms the expediency of his taking a seal,
uitd concluded hy assuring him, that, as soon us
the ease of General &euLt was concluded, every
facility in the prosecution us his views should bo
awarded him. General G. continued to descant
on "llio illegality of ibo proceedings thus far,”
notwithstanding the assurances ol Genl. Macomb,
that his language ut this time was rather in ap
propriate, un.l his groat desire I hat the venerable
Chief would bo seated.— l- X come here, Sir” he
continued “ not to ask favors, but to demand jus
tice.” “ Clear the Court” said the President—
in a short time wc ro-enleied the chamber,
and Gencial Gaines was informed by the Court,
through tho Judge Advocate, that ’‘llio Court 1

tint : the utmost latitude in the furtherance oi his
inquiries; but that, ul tiro present time, be would
not be permitted to interfere with tlio business of
the Court, hy the introduction of irrelevant ob
servations and that il was hoped further sugges
tions on the subject would be found unnecessary.
"Tlio General continued his perpendicular posi
li in,
Li. Moiris was sworn—“ Whore and in what
capacity were you in April lust!
.dor.eei—At Tampa Hay—l was commissary
ol ileput,
ilenerul Gaines —“l beg leave, with duo defer
ence, to stale, Mr. President.—
General .Macomb —“Gcneial, I repeat that
you cannot he permitted to address the Court, un
til your case is before it.”
General Gaines—appear before you, Sir,
hy orders”—
Gen. M.—“ You wilt oblige the Couit, Sir, by
yonr silence"—
Gen; G.—“l protest formally against tho course
pursued by this court”—
Gen. M.—l have once more to say, Gen. Gains,
that you cannot be allowed to inurfero in any
way with the progress of this trial, and a repeti
tion of such conduct will be view ed as deliberate
contempt! pray be seated ”
Gen. G.—l beg your pardon Sir; standing is,
a custom of mine, and 1 ask to be gratified in this
particular.”
Gen. M. “Certainly, General.—Consult you
convenience in silting or standing—by pleasing
yourself, you will gratify tho Court.”
(question to Ll. Morris—“ What amount of
hard bread and bacon were at Tampa Day when
General Seoli.—
Gen. Gaines—“ I feel myself, M. President,
constrained once more to protest against tins law
less mode of procedure.”
Gen. M.—• 1 again urge upon you, Maj. Gen.
Gaines, Iho importance of complying with the de
sire of the Court in this matter. Your case, Sir,
is not before us. You have nothing to do with
tho matter pending, as it at present stands. You
must not interrupt us.’
General O. (in a loud voice) ‘ May it please
the Court, 1 wish to ho heard lor a moment. I
do not desire to retard its operations, hut 1 wish to
1 protest finiiatly against the illegality with which
it is, and has been conducted. The ninety first
1 article, Mr. President.—
Gen. Macomb,— 1 General Gaines, submit your
i views to paper, and they will lie considered and
i regarded. Do so now, or any lime after the ad
journment of the Court this morning will do.
f General Guiues.—‘No, Sir, I will do so now.’
Proceedings were accordingly suspended to
enable the gallant old soldier to embody his views,
at the completion of which, he commenced anoth
er address u> the Court, hut was again interrupted
by Gen. Macomb.
Gen. U.— 1 1 wish, Mr. President, to convince
I this Court and the country that the whole tener
: ol its proceedings is at war with law, usage and
reason and—
. General Macomb.— ‘ General, you shall not he
. longer tolerated in these grutuilious expressions.
, Phe court will confer—clear the Court!’
, The crowd, with the two Major Generals, re
paired to an anti-chamber, and there awaited the
second result of the arbitration. Whilst there, a
feeling ot profound regret at the unfortunate cau
ses ol the estrangement us these two eminent sol
i diers, irresistibly pervaded us. The champions
ot Republican America; those to whom the pres
ent generation ol our countrymen ever look with
patriotic exultation, were now, without a fault of
either, exhibited lo public gaze as gladiators in
llio political arena. There they stood, on oppo
site sides ot the room, encircled hy their several
friends, and occasionally eying each other’s man
ly fin m, with other, 1 trust, than embittered reflec
tions, Favorites of I e notion, who breasted the
bayonets of gallant old England, side by side, and
together plunUaJ the Siar Spangled Danner of
their admiring countrymen, where once proudly

the qj’pyr and fewer taluneti,
On the rc-opening, the Couit, through the Pres
ident. announced that the protest of Cien. Gaines,
shold be incorporated with the proper documents.
General Gaines then read his acqiiieecucc in the
decision of the President of the United Stales, in
relation to Gen. Macomb, and after the transac
tion of unimportant business the Court adjourned
untd to-morrow at 11 A. M.
The opinions ofthe Court, as expressed to Gen.
I Gaines, were delivered by Major General Macomb
in, a language and manner highly creditable to |
his talents and urbanity. Ho urged ufton Ids |
brother officer, to whom he stood in a relation al
together unsolicited, mi adherence to a course, the
expediency and propriety of which, his own judge- 1
ment must approvvc, and one which the rules of
service absolutely exacted.
P. S. General gainrs lias publicly cxpiesscd
his determination to pyesecuto tbc cni|nircs now

tually guilty, fairly before the world. In Ibis, lie
will be seconded by the hero of Chippewa.

wall tbo comparative small nmonntj still out
standing hold out the prospect of a gradual
reduction on the rate of interest lor money.
On the whole, it the prices abroad of our great
staple products do not materially decline,
there is no reason apprehend any further in
terruption to our commercial prosperity. In
deed the temporary one which has taken
place is solely to be attributed to the intcrlcr
enccofthe federal government with the credit
and currency of the States.
More Disasters. —Wo learn by n letter
received by Waller R. Jones, Esq , Secreta
ry of the Board of Underwriters, that, the
sebr Othello, Capt. Osborne, from New
York for Baltimore, went, ashore on Cape
Henlopon, the morning of the 2d instant, hav
ing parted her best bower, under the Break
water, in a violent gale from the north-west.
The schooner is on the bar, covered with ice.
She has a valuable cargo of assorted goods
on board, which it is expected will be saved,
with tbo exception of some sugar in boxes.
Arrangements have been been made for land
ing and securing the goods immediately.
The sebr. Caspian came on shore a few
hours later, having been up the Delaware in
the ice, with the loss of both anchors, nnd
much cut with the ice. Whnt is singular,
this vessel stranded on the same spot five
years since.
Two brigs and two schooners were driven
down the bay and went U> sea—probably fur
New York.
AND YET ANOTHER!
The ship Robert Fulton, arrived at Now Or
leans, reports the loss on the ISlh December of
the ship Pacific, Capt. Fisk, from New York
fur Mobile, with a cargo of dry goods, &c. She
wont ashore on Cmysfovt Reef, and in a few
hours bilged anil became a total wreck. Her
cargo was-principally saved by the wreckers, and
taken to Key West. When will our govern
ment turn its attention to the improvement of
the Florida coast I— Mobile Mercantile Adv.

THE TRIAL OP GEN. SCOTT.
We rc-commcuco to day, the publication of the
interesting correspondence oftho Baltimore Chron
icle, on the subject of Gen. Scott’s trial before
tbo Court of Enquiry, upw silting at Frederic!:,
Maryland. The lettcc in to-day’s paper is of in
tense interest.
Mci.ANcnoi.Y Occurrences—On Tuesday
last, about 10 o’clock, A. M. six of the laborers
on section JG of the Georgia Rail Road, ware
killed, while excavating, by the tailing in of the
ground over their heads. A tunnel of about 20
feet had been dug out; they were working at the
farthest point, and so sudden was the fall that no
time for escape was allowed. Six were killed in
stantly and two others dangerously injured. A
horse cart standing at or near the entrance of the
tunnel was also mushed bv the mass of eatth ;
(be horse escaped unhurt.
Wc publish to-day a revised list of the Stock
holders, of the Georgia Rail Road & Banking
Company, since they wore reported to the Gov
ernor ns required by law. Intelligence of Ibis
kind, the Legislature believed highly important
to the community, hy requiring the Batiks to re
port their Stock-holders to the Governor, and the
Governor to publish them. Nothing can be more
serviceable in strengthening public confidence in
the Bills of a Bank, where the Stock-holders arc
made individually liable for their issues.
It will appear by the list publised, that the Geo.
Rail Road At Banking Company have 389 Stock
holders, and consequently that many securities to
every bill they issue, besides their whole rail road
piu|>erty, of imincnss value, which, by tho char
ter is pledged for the redemption of their bills.—
With such a number of Stockholders, so wealthy
as vve know some of them to be, and spread so
generally through the State, it must have a
strength and support rarely, enjoyed hy similar
institutions. When the Georgia Kail Road shall
be connected wilt the great trunk which the late
Legislature has authorised as a State work, from
the Tennesse river, nnd, in the hands of such an
enterprising and opulent company it will no doubt
be done, it accomplishes a long sought desidera
tum of vast importance to Georgia; and in an es
pecial manner to tho city of Augusta. A con
nection between the Atlantic coast and the Valey
of the Mississippi, will then have been effected
and tbo current of trade and travelling that must
pour through that channel, is, we venture to say,
beyond all present means of calculation.
UNITED STATES HOTEL.
Wo lake pleasure in requasting attention to i
the advertisement of this Hotel, by Mr. Bknto>• |
Walton, late proprietor of the Globe Hotel, [
who has aliened it in a style surpassing anything j
of the kind wo have before witnessed in this soo-1
thin, Tho building has been completely repair- i
cd mid uTitted, throughout, in the best possible !
manner, regardless of cost. The rooms, lam,!-1
ings, and passages, are all richly carpeted, and ;
the former furnished in a style of peculiar ele-|
gance, splendor, and beauty, and at tho same
time with the most careful and judicious regard
to comfort, ease, and convenience, particular!?
in the bed-rooms. The table is decided cn all
hands, to lie superior to any ever laid in tho city, 1
both in the riclipc-s. variety, and cuFmtir jure
paialioti of its viands, and tbc excellent taste
and style in which they are served. Indeed the
whole establishment peculiarly marks the expe
rience, taste, and judgment of its enterprising
: and hospitable proprietor, bis untiring assiduity,
j and anxiety to please and excel; and is a deci
j ded acquisition to the city—such a one as it has
j long needed, and as genteel travellers have fre
qucntly suggested, particularly those with fami
lies. It is fitted up with especial regard to the
accommodation of families, and possesses pecu
liar facilities for that purpose. Already several
; of die most respectable and interesting families
j of our city have taken rooms in it, rendering its
society most delightful and attractive ; while its
entire order, nir, and manner, are as quiet, re
i tired, and genteel, as those of the most elegant
j private dwelling, and we (eel assured will always
i lie maintained so, rcgardlcs; of every conflicting
; consideration,
'ib.LEScopis.—lt is said that the use of tclcs
! copes was lirsldiscovctcd by one Hansen, a spec
tacle-maker, at Middleburgh, in Holland, whose
children playing in the shop, casually placed a
convex and concave glass in such a manner, that,
by looking through them at the weathercock, they
observed it appeared much larger and nearer than
usual, and, by their expressions of surprise, ixcil
cd the attention of their lather, who soon obtain
ed great credit for this useful discovery.

' ~ COTTON MARKET.
Our receipts this week were somewhat heavier
than they have been for tho last three, but there is
still but little doing, as the Planters hold on for high
er price, than tho buyers arc willing to give. There
has been but ub mi 509 bales sold this week at from

Wa have to report another very moderate week’s
business in the Cotton market, the sal s amounting
only in the aggregate to about 9000 halos. The
disparity existing between the views of ihe buyers
and sellers is the most obvious reason that we car,
assign for transactions being so limited, the latter
coni inning to insist upon the fell prices of the last
week; while I tie former, discouraged hy Ihe by tho
counts received by every packet from tho oilier side
of the Atlantic, both ns it respects the cotton and
the money markets, and dilatory in their movements
and not disposed to oporato extensively, un css they
could buy on more advantageous terms than have
yet bocn acceded. There has been some btlle ir
regularity in prices, but generally the sale hava been
