COTTON MARKETS.
Hy the arrival of the lie. brig Bolivar, fiom
Greenock, at Charleston, wo have advices tiom
Europe of the 23d Jan. Tho political and corn
mercial intelligence is not of much importance.
We do not discover any thing respecting Cot.on.
The Cholera '.vas subsiding.
Our latest advices from Europe, respecting
Cotton, are of the l-llh Januioy, (lie particu
lars of which wo noticed in our former rc
poit. The appearance of the Cotton trade
at that pci hid, indicated a gradual improvement
in the atliclo. Wo have g oat confidante in
Cotton, nevertheless, we think tho asking pri
ces in niii market unwarrantably high.
Our advices from New York, represent that
Cotton market as raim. The greet pressure in
the money market operates against trade gener
ally. Quotations of now Upland 11 all cts.
The advices tiom New Oilcans, show an in
active market. Sales of the week do nor exceed
5000 hales. Quotations 8 a IIJ cts. Freights
to Liverpool *d and dull.
Tho Mobile Shipping and Commercial List,
of March HI says; “In consequence of
(he limited extent of transactions it is very diffi
cult to arrive at a just idea of the state of the
market for the past week, and there is niuchdi
vin shy of opin ion. And effort was made hy
holders in the middle of the week to procure
hetloi prices in ihe medium qualities, and a lew
diy lots may have h might a slight advance; hut
0 is believed that to-day, purchases for these
grades may he made on as good teams as those
of last week, and licit no actual appreciation is
established. In choice cottons ,however, there
is a permanent Improvement. They may he es
timated at | to Jc. bettor; and wo quote at 10a
to 1 (),-{. Sales of two small, selected parcels,
have been made as high as 11c. hut this, wo
consi.li r 100 high as a standing quotation, us no I
lot of magnitude, under o. dinaiy circumstances j
of sale would command that -ato. It is ealeu-;
kited there tiro on sale tiom 15,000 to 18,000-
hales.”

Charleston and fruvamiah Cotton markets are
quite dull, and that appearances indicate a de
cline, especially in the latter market. Quota

Thu receipts inioour market, this week, have
been, comparatively speaking, nothing, and
from all we can learn from the Plante.sand the

ion, that the quantity of Colton now remaining

CiiAiii.K.sroN, March, 1 ~32.
Kul tor the cold, and hazy almosjilierc, which
eunl’nied ihe passengers niCstly to the cabin, we
should, have had a pleasant trip fiom Augusta to j
Chit lesion, mi the steam packet John Dueid
Van gin, which appears to he an excellent boat.
The aecommo.latinos were very good, the fare
excellent, the Master, (.'apt. Ccrrv, very po-
I te, attentive, vV accommodating, ami tho cheer
fulness, intelligence, & good humor of the com
pany, reudcied the irksomeness of confinement
to the cabin but seldom perceptible. We had a
quick passage to Havamiah-ahoul 22 hours,inclu
ding tho night—but, owing to the leggy weather,
ami delay in waiting for tho tides, w ere near 3
days between there and Charleston, where, by
leaving the boat at W apjmo cm, and taking it
mi foot about three miles—the boathuviog to wail
for the tide—l arrived, in time to see Hackett
on his benefit night,in Ins two favorite characters,
Solomon Sirup, and Cot. A imrod II ildfre.
Cant say my anticipation—lather highly excited ■
weio altogether realized. As to tho j laxs.
they are very so so—dependent, for their inter
est, like Mt tamora, and others of the modern i
Dramas, almost entirely on a single character, I
in cadi—and those tendered striking, in the i
Yankic and Kentuckian, more by the talent* of
the acter, than the merits of the dialogue. Tho
lattei is the more effective of tho two, and bet
ter calculated to pleaeo an audience genorallj
being more spirited and energetic, and placed
in situations better designed to enlist tho feel
ings—tho' perhaps not played so faithfully to
the life, as the other. Tho’ rude, and uncouth
in manner, there is much in it of native truth and
generosity of feeling, and manliness of charac
ter ; while the other is too continually mean and
servile —sketching only the selfish, contempti
ble, and ridiculous of the Yankee character,
unmitigated by ahy of its meritorious traits, for
which there are frequent opportunities of dis
play, ami might have been more. Tho author
must have forgotten the Yankeejof '76, and the
spirit of that day which still remains in his descen
dants, or lie never would have permitted it to
lie ungoaded and unaronsed, in his miserable
caricature, w'here indignity is offered to itself or
its country —and when, it seems to us, if wo at
all nhrlerstaml the character, that spirit should
hmak thro’ all the restraints of habit and discip
line, however strong. Abroad we are all \ an
kers', and while I could not but foci mortified
that so contemptible a thingj should go forth, as
it doubtless will do, into a foreign land, as an
acknowledged specimen of Yankee character,
I could not hot be astonished that it should have
been recognized as such, by lire Yankees them
. selves.
The Theatre, at Mr. llackett’s Benefit, was
very much crowded, as it was also throughout
the Race week, and, I understand,had been pre
viously, since its opening. 1 was much gratified
at this, for the sake of our old friend De Camp ;
as it would [int “ money in his purse,” and he
much dcsi rvcsjt, and will make good uso of U
not only for his own benefit,but that ol the Drama
also, and the public, which is not a little intores
ed, or ought to bo in its welfare. Since the
strangers have mostly left die city, tho attend
ance has been less numerous, though still con
siderable i and the citizens complain that the
company is 100 weak in numbers. I understand
Mr. De Camp designs shortly to unite Ins per
forniers now in Augusta and hero, bringing out
the whole here for a while, and then go on with
them to Augusta—and thus present one very
largo and respectable company—which would
doubtless much more than proportionably in
crease the receipts and profits, in botii places.
Tho building is large, capable, I presume, of
containing about fourteen hundred persons, and
handsomely fitted up, in scenery, decorations,
Are. lint its interior construction struck me as
stiff, awkward.|and|out ot taste. The circle of
die Koxes is 100 narrow, in proportion to the
size of the stage —extends milch too far back for
its width —and is 100 straight on each side, from
die rear to the stage —giving it a very long, con
fined, and stiff appearance. Tho custom of the
ladies silling in the I’it, and crowded up there
promiscuously among I lie gentlemen, when
there is room fur thorn in die dress circle, seemed
to me entirely in had taste. Pmhaps, how over,
they go there in the hope of finding die gentle
i men more polite and gallant than in the Ilexes,
j where we noticed, to our astonishment, that j
: many sit in fiont of them, in various places, with ;
1 the most caidess indifference, and often even
1 widi their hats on. As Dogberry says, this ‘‘is
I most tolerable, and not to ho endured.” Tho
1 friends of die Theatre should “reform it alto-
getlmr.”

Tiie extraordinary performances of that gift
ed and inestimable actress, MlssCi.aua Fisher,
who has been playing for a few evenings past at
our Theatre, lias, we are Happy lu perceive,
attracted considerable notice in this city, and
very deservedly too, for w ho, that has witnessed
her enchanting genius, powerful talent, and ver
satile mind, can do otherwise than admire while
they behold. To speak of Miss Fisher, in terms
equal toiler merit,is beyond our reach; we there
fore ddsist.
YVn understand that her lien fit will positive
ly take place on Mosiuv evening next, and as
it is very doubtful whether she may again visit
our city, would recommend all who admire to
encourage virtue and genius, to display their lib
erality on this occasion. DAMON.

Mr. Editor i —Me witnessed Hid perform
ance of Miss Clara Fisher, on Monday etc
ning last, and find that Clara is herself still.
To her known youth and beauty, she seems to
add an increasing foice and correctness. She
is more interesting now than 1 remember ever
to have scon her before. She is, in the strictest
sense of the word, the actress of nature. To
he able to appreciate Miss Fisher’s talents, it is
first necessary to know the character in which
she appears, fur unless we do this, we are una
ble to peiccivo with what admirable correctness
I she plays her parts. .She is certainly one of ihe
first ] day era now in America. When 1 use this
strong language, I would he understood to speak
Avilh respect to the line of characters in which
she plays. There are two parts of Miss Fisn
eu - acting in which site seems more particu- I
larly to excel; first, in her con act conception
ol tho character, which wo may discover by
seeing that her acting is always perfectly natural,
and, in the second place, in the versatility of her j
talents. If she play the part of a young lady !
in love, we can scarcely keep from falling in j
love with her ourselves, 1 suppose that we are !
influenced hy the synffiathutic emotion of love.”
If she play tho part of a child, you at once see
in her vacant look, the barren mind of infancy.
She seems to understand well the m t of man
aging her countenance. Those large and ele
gant blue eyes, can, in an instant, flash tire, o.
melt into pity or love, lu short, there is no one
who has ever watched the expression of her
eyes, but will say, that with them she can “speak
like angels, trumpet-tongued,” the language of
nature, which «!! the world ntu't understand.
W e sincerely hope that the people of Augusta u
will give Miss Fisher that reception which her S
sjnerior talents and excellent character deserves. d

Mr. Editor I have never had the pleasure a
of seeing you, but la m free to say, that I re- 0
member to have been very much pleased w ith a c
pamphlet bearing your name as author, and en-
tilled a “Defence of the Drama.” Judging
fiom your remarks in this pamphlet, I would pre- s
sume that you feel disposed to publish, for those s
who are willing to say something on the amuse- , (]
ments of tho Theatre. Politics ought to be fre- j „
quonlly and candidly discussed before the pub- j t
lie but I have no doubt, sir, that yon will agree j ®
with me, when I say that if onr newspapers con- j (
lained more literary, and less political matter, j „
that society would he more enlightened and so- | I
cial. We must have some amusements, thnJe, 1 1
then, are most worthy of notice which, while ‘ (
they serve to enlighten the mind, belter tho | (
heart, rfuch amusements are afforded by all i
well written Plays, That disposition ‘film,*
mind which induces it to grasp at something
grand and elevated, and which makes it fotm ,
out new creations upon which it delights to , j
dwell, has been remarked by Lord Bacon as j
one of the noblest characteristics of the human
mind.
We are not surprised to find so few good ac-
tors, when we reflect on the great dlflicully of j
acting well. ‘A novelist, when he introduces a ,
character, not only gives him words, but he also '
describes the effect of passion on bis speaker.
The writer of a Play can only give the words of
the dialogue, and leave that part of tho pe,fo.tn
ance which represents the effects of passion to
(lie actor; and the fewest number are able to '
represent passion up to the life. In this part of ]
acting, Miss Fisher seems to bo peculiarly bap- i
py in her efforts. Miss Fisher's Maid of A/im- j
slcr, is, indeed, “ perfection.” Sbepliiyodi.it- .
tk Pickle with her usual correctness and anima- ,
tiun. We consider her song, Since thtii I'm ,
i.loomed, as one of her happiest dibits. She ,
danced the Sr dor's Hornpipe so well that many t
cf tlie audience weie displeased because she ,
was unwilling to dunce it over. We rtndoi stand i
that Miss Fisher is to have a benefit before
she leaves town—if so, 1 hope it will be one in
fact us well as in name. LINDEN.
To the Editor if the Chronicle,
i
Sir; —1 feel it due, not less to the cause of |
truth, than to myself, however unimportant my i
political opinions may be, to assert, that iho “ in
formant ’’ of the Georgia Courier, on tho sub
ject of tho feelings of tho Georgians, who were
present at the recent Cunvdntion oftheFico
Trade and Slate Rights Party in Charleston—
