There appear* to heve been up -o our last

final result of lbs differences betwoen Holland j,

The Citole-a seems still to bo on tbe decline
in England. There .were, however, additional „

The various items in the Reform Hill were
daily under consideration in the House of Loin- u

A public Meeting was held at Man- hosier on {
Monday, 22(1 January, in Ht. George'« Fields— *
4,000 person* had assembled by 12 o’ clock, and (
1,500 of the military and police were assembled ,
to preserve the poae.n. One, object appear* to
leave been to petition hi* Majesty to spam the,
lives of the mutt condemned at B.isbd and Not
tingham—one of the speakers thought it would
ho much belter to Artfi " f/ic Judges, than these
unfortunate individual*. Another object ol the
meeting was to petition for Refo-nt, on the prin

which embraces vote by ballot, universal Mil

Ihilish House. of Lords. —A warm debate look
place in the House »l lairds, on the 2dtb Jattuaiy,
»n a motion of I.onl Ans.rtin-» N for iidoinialion
in rnlation to the Belgian Negotiations. The
rn/ition was sustained hy the mover, and by the
1 (uke of Wellington, both of w horn deprftealed
course pursued by the ministry, in relation
to ihu subject.
Lord GoDKtitru warmly opposed the motion,
and denied llial the interest* or honour of ling
land bad in any instance been compromised hy
the negotiations. Ho liberty maintained the
same views on the subject of the Tieaty id' Vi
ennii in lefemnco to Ibe Iren navigation of the
livers as his Nohlo Friend (I bey,) and coin bid
ed by staling his readiness to go to a division,
with a consciousness that the conduct ol Minis
ters throughout ilia most difficult (•ircuiiHtiinuc*
(n question, had not nnuiied, and lliorelore |
would not ieceive,the reprohalion of that House.
Lord Aiikupkks, in reply, said lie was alniosl
m doubt whether llm Noble Karl bad rend llie
treaty. If that treaty were entered into to
morrow, he defied the Noble Karl to see one half
of it executed. The Noble Kail called it ade
velopoment of preceding engagements. li
seemed to him a developemenl by contraction.
If the Duke of N' moors was to be rejected by
one early, and the Duke of Lituchtunburg by
another, what became of tlit- iiidependenee and
oflbo undeniable i iglits of a country thus subject
to the nla of another slate? His objection to
the treaty was, that it rendered it scarcely pos
sible to avoid war. He admitted that the Gov
eminent bad been somewhat embarrassed, but
asserted that it was but slight. He assorted
that wilb a view to the continuance of pease,
lie bad il*n inmost reason to regret (bn mine
merit of the Duke of Wellington, whose eharac
ter and whose deeds inspired our allies with
love, our enemies with fear; and never at auy
moment did he do so with mmo success Ilian
at the mcinunt of his retirement from office. —
After all that had been dune, what did n amount
lot Why, that whether peace could be pin
served or not, depended on the question wheth
er one Pm is Uankui or another gsioud ihu up
per hand. On the whole, such was the dislor

makes this remark :
“ 1 hope the Ameticans will not be so unwise
as to adopt the quarantine laws for llie preven
tion of llm importation of the cholera morbus—
they are found, in Europe, to be totally ineffi
cient for that object—they caused great distress, |

COTTON MARKETS.
By the arrival (4" tlio ship Dover, at Uoston,
we have advices from Liverpool of 2lst Janna-
ry. The sales of Cotton had been only to a mo-
I derate extent, amounting to 11,500 hales, of j'
| which 511(1 wore Uplands, at 4’d a 7d. New.

The trade in the Cotton manufacturing dis- •
• tl
tricis in England, is represented as having un
dergone a considerable change for the better.
The stocks of Yarns and (ioods wore much redtt-
ceil, and the demand increasing, and prices ad
vancing.
’The arrival of the ship Hogarth, at Charleston,
puts us in possession of advices from Havre of
Ist of February. The sales of cotton had been h
extensive in ibat market, reaching 7253 bales at s

Tire Colton trade in France, ami on the whole
i
of the Continent of Europe is gradually reviving
fiom. its long depressed state. It is now csli
mated hy the best informed on this subject, that
the wants of the whole Continent of Europe for |
the present year, will exceed 2(10,000 hales of
American Colton.
We lay before our l eaders the following ex
tract —
“ The preliminary statements which wo have
received fiotn France, show a consumption fully |
j, equal to (lint of I ist year's, a circumstance which
, most agreeably surprises ns, as wo were prepar
ed for a consider.ddo falling ofl‘. From the Con- ,
! tinent, generally, vve learn that the slocks of
Colton are every vv hero so uiodor.-UO*. that if it
. were not for the advanced state of the season,
i our exports would ho continued with unabated
1 activity. Tins manufactories in He.loiiim are
again in full employ, and it is to bo hoped that
nothing will occur to check iheir industry. In
1 flnnihuTjr and Germany the business in Cotton
r and Va ns had been had and limited, on account
i of thu war in Poland and the progress of the
1 Cholera; the Saxon maniifaclo;ins suffered mo:o
* particularly, and many wore stopped entirely.
■ tiiiien the month of October there lias been a fa- (
vorablo change; activity prevails once moio, |
and the slocks being nearly exhausted in Hain-
I burg, an advance of Id per lb. in the prices of
, Vain lias taken place.” (
i Wo have seen several statements Ibis week,
' tr ade by Moicbants in Savannah, estimating the
production of Colton in ibis idtiito in I*3l, con- |
stdmably larger than that of the previous year.
< Also, giving it asllieir opinion, that the Atlantic
1 Stales will export moro Colton in 1931-32, than
' I
in 1930-31, and going even still further, and sta
ling tint the exports from the. Half of Mexico
will not he ihjirical in 1931-32 as compared with
1830-31. We have gioet confidence iu die opin
ion of the Merchants in Savannah, but as it has
, not been our custom to receive the sayings of any
man, or set of men, on any subject, ns orthodox,
unless supported hy facts, so now, we shall lake
some pains to collect fuels on which to base an
opinion for ourself. Afloi we shall have collect
ed all tlio fuels respecting the probable piodue
tion of Colton in Virginia, tho Carolines, and
Georgia ill 1931, we will’lay them before our
readers.
Respecting tho production of Cotton in those
States, it has boon, and still is our opinion, that
it was deficient in 1831, as compared with the
production of 1930.
As to the exports from the Gulf, wo give
more credit to the opinion of inte.lligent liter- |
chants residing at New-O leans, than wo run \
' give to the opinion of our Savannah friends, j
highly ns wo estimate thoir opinion. (
The following are extracts from first rate sour- ,
cos— 1
“We shall ho more deceived, than wo over (
kavo been, it*there is not ndeficiency in the re. j
ecipls of Colton here, (Now-Orleans) nseompar- |
cd with last year’s of 130 a 1 <50,000 bales.” (
“The crops on tlio Mississippi river will be ,
short, hast year 430,000 bales of Cotton were
received at New-Urleans, lids year, I think, ,
300,030 bales will be the outride quantity, and
some go as low as 20 a .50,000 hales less.” I
It appeals from all the facts now befoto the (
j public, that the prod action of Cotton in the Uni
led Stales in 183,1 was ilrjicitnt ns compared j
with that of 1930 about 1.50,080 hales. Now, a
|Qie production of Cotton in 1.930 was 1,039,847 jj
Decrease in production in 1931, 1.50,1X10

Tlio actual consumption of Amc- ( l
I rinaii Cotton in Great-Urilain in 1931 o
j was 019,009 bales, and it is expected t l
I that ilia consumption of the present
| year will exceed dial of tho past, we i
j will, however, estimate it (be same, 019,008 j
Wants of the whole Continent of
linropo 200,000
The Committee at the Tat iff Con
volition in N. York (see Niles'Week
ly Register, No. 25, vol. s—fourth
| series) estimate the home consump
tion of Colton tlio present year at
100,000,000 lbs. Tlie number of
. (I
spindles in operation last year was
1,240,503, and about 400,000 new
... OI
si uuiios will cume into operation thin
year. If we err in the estimate of
tile home consumption it shall be on
what is termed the safe side, wc will
therefore pul it down at only 2-10,000
Wants of 1882. 1118,008
Thus it appears, that tho wants ol 1 302 exceed < i
lie supply by 110,338 hales, and that the Stock b
f American Cotton at the elosoof this year will u
tot bo sufficient for tho facilities of trade. p

Our receipts of Colton have been quite small

The greater part of our receipts at ibis season

been, heretofore, from the “ upper counties,”

was rery short, In someoflhe “upper counties”

f I he Rah. Roaii.— I have not been a very firm
believer in the success of the rail road now erect
ing between this city and Augusta, and a lide on
it the other day, about twelve miles—the dis
tance now in use, tho’ it is extended about two
miles farther—hy no means tended to strengthen
that belief. That it will he coiistmcted, through
out, 1 have no doubt; for 1 presume there is no
insurmountable difficulty in the way of that;
hut tlie question is, will it, upon tho present plan,
effect the object of it, when erected ? 1 think
not. Constructed, as it is, entirely of wood, ex
cept tho stiipsofiron over the rails on which
the cars run—the timbers light, ami already in- 1
dined to give way, even with the comparatively 1
light weight now passing over it—its tendency ■
to decay, the groat expense of keeping it in re- 1
pair, and tho liability to danger in travelling on I
it, must tend to impair public confidence in it, 1
and to render its means of transmission, its pro
fits, and its permanency, somewhat doubtful. 1
It commences at the upper extremity of the •
city, about midway between King end Mooting (
streets, under the cover of a building, erected in
a laige lot, containing a counting room, work £
shops, room for cars, and lumber, &c. &c. For t
live or six miles out, its course is very indirect, <
winding first one way and then the other, almost >
continually, and sometimes very suddenly, for 7
the purpose of taking such a route as could be •
obtained without purchase—the persons owning (
the land in a direct course having refused to let 11
the company pass through it gratis. In some «
parts of the twelve miles I travelled on it, tlio I
rising ground is cut through, from a foot to per- ?
haps eight or ten feet deep; and, in one place, 1
lor some distance; while the excavation is so i
narrow at bottom, without any drain on (lie sides c
us tho road, that tho water, in wet weather, 1
must often cover the timbers, which lie consul c
erably in the earth, and so collect and settle *
about them, as to rot them very fast. The htiphl
"f the road from the. ground, varies, in passing c
die several low places in tlie twelve miles, from i
.me foot to thirty. Tho dimensions of tlio road \
ire as follow : Tlie piles, of hewed lightwood d
pine, vary in size from six to nine inches square, h
md are five feet four indies apart, and in two p
ows, five and a half feet apart, on the tops of c
which rest tho cross-pieces, one on each two of h
lie piles; and the rail-pieces are on top of the t(
: ross-picccs. The cnoiis-pieccs, of sawed him- :
jor, are eight by nine inches thick, and eight i
’eel luii!;, extending about a foot past the mil- <
pieces on cadi side. The rail-pieces, of sawed !
lumber, a r c seven by nine inches thick, from ■
twenty to fifty feet long, and four feet ton inches l
apart—running, of course, a hllia inwardly of 1
the rows of piling, or about four inches narrower <
on each side. On the top of the rtiil-pieccs is an 11
iron plate, two inches wide, and half an inch |'
thick, even with the inside of the rail-pieces, -i- jl
long vvliicit run the wheels of the oars, which are
of iron, thirty-four inches diameter, with rims, j
one inch wide, projecting from the inner edge ul i
each wheel, which run inside of the iron plates
on the rail-pieces, and keep the wheels in a line
with the rails. Tito wheels of the car which
carries the steam engine are five feet in diamc- j
ter —the car twenty-five feet long. In front and 1
rear of the engine-car, are two cars, which car- ;
ry wood and water, each cloven feet long. The j
car which carries the passengers, and which j
much resembles a Pcdlor’s wagon in shape and j
appearance, hut larger, holding about fifteen or j
twenty persons, is attached to the above men- j
turned cars, and in going nut, follows them, but j
in returning, precedes them. The rate of tra- j
veiling is generally twelve miles an hour, and ;
sometimes faster. We passed over the twenty- j
four miles, going and returning, in two hours, j
exclusive of half an hour’s delay, at the end ol |
the route, and taking in water on the way back.
The Augusta, Columbia, and Savannah mails,
arc all carried out the first twelve miles on the 1
Rail-road; hut the Savannah mail, I under
stand, will shortly' leturn to the old road, the
Rail road being too much out of the direct route.
A few miles out fiom the city, the main Rail
Road is intersected by another, about a mile in
length, which runs from it at right angles to the
river, on the left, and Was constructed for the
purpose of bringing up lumber and other materi
als, for the road, and wood, &.c. us freight, for
the city.
I noticed, in travelling over the road, that the
piling had given w ay, more,or less, almost every
few yards throughout, the cross pieces being
propped us often, evidently to prevent them
from sinking farther. And not only this, but the
road W'ould scorn, from the considerable motion
of the car (which is by no means usual on the i
Baltimore and other Rail Roads, as vve learn i
from persons who have travelled on them,) to !
bo very uneven; and so far as my eye would
serve me, at the rapid rate wu travelled, I
judged that the rail pieces were not all as true
as they should ho. If the piling should have
given way already, and with the comparatively'
very light burthen which lias yet passed over it,
what can he expected of it for any length of
litno, and after the immense loads of cotton, «Src.
have been transported on it, which it is expect
ed to hear ? And the unusual jai ring of the cats
will, of course, tend much to impair and destroy
it. Without knowing whether any other Rail
Road has over been constructed entirely of wood
—though lam inclined to think none lias—l am
ofllio impression that such must bo too weak,
unstable, and liable to decay, to answer the
purposes of the one in rpiostton. The piling, at
least, must soon rot in the ground; and when it
begins to decay, the road must become very un
safe; for when one pile gives away, and in
creased weight is thrown on the others, they
will ho still mote liable to do so, and two. tlire'e,
fou r , or more may yield, and down comes the
cars, engine, f.eight, passengers, and all, per
haps thirty or more feet—or as far as the height
in the highest places yet to bo made, and how
much more than thirty feet that will hr, 1 have no
idea; hut, the highest places will doubtless be the
most liable to decay. Should an accident of this
kind happen, it would, of course, serious
inconvenience to the public, by cutting off, till it
could ho repaired, the ordinary mode of trans
portation; and might perhaps turn much of the
freight, and all the passengers, into some other
channel of conveyance. All this and more
which it is unnecessary to mention, considered,
1 cannot hut still think, as 1 have done hereto
fore, that the success of tills enterprise is ex
ceedingly problematical.
1 have spoken thus freely of this Rail Road,
because of the interest fclt'on the subject in cru
elty, and the just apprehensions entertained by
many of the inhabitants, of the injurious effects,
which its success would have, upon the trade
ami prosperity of Augusta—and because some
of the people of Georgia arc rather disposed to
move upon the subject of Rail Roads, and may
profit somewhat by the experience of their neigh
bors of Carolina.
( Conclusion in our next.)
Savannah, March 12th, lSfi‘2.
So the supreme Court, in the plenitude of its
usurped power ami authority, has decided
against tlie State of Georgia, in iho case of the
Missionaries—thus declaring that the State has
not jurisdiction over the Cher'Uce lands, nor
power to punish offences against its laws, ci»m
milled within its chartered limits. Monstrous!
Why this strikes at the very root of Stale sove
reignty, and if submitted to, would degrade the
Slate to the level of mere colonies of the Federal
Government. But it will not ho submitted to.
The Slate is solemnly pledged against tt, by an
act of the last Legislature, passed, I bn inve,
unanimously, protesting against any interference
of lire Supremo Court in the criminal jurisdic
tion of thc-Statc, ami charging the Governor to
resist any such interference, in the case of the
Missionaries, with all the force placed within his
control, and every civil officer of the State to
aid in such resistance. This was, of course, !
approved by the Governor: and his language, in !
laying (he citations of the Court before the Lo-!
gislature, shows that he conceives it the duly of!
the State and himself, to make such resistance, j
if the Court should assume jurisdiction and de-'
cidc against the Slate. He slated it as Ids be- j
lief, that the Court would not do so; but do-j
dared that if it did, it would be a usurpation that !
‘‘would call for the most determined resistance.” ] 1
The State and the confederacy, then, are now I
decidedly at issue, in the last result. Wail, he 1
it so, since they will have it so, whether or no.— !
We would fain liavo had it otherwise, and we \ '
did hope that the Supreme Court wrjuld not have
been so infatuated in the cause of Federal Usur- i
pation as lo make such a decision, with all the |
consuipieuces plainly before it. It has made it, I
however, and the question now is, will it attempt |
lo enforce it?—or Will it have the power to make i
such an attempt, beyond u mere order • I

damns, or a Writ of Habeas Corpus’ \>, '
Feuerul officer in the State, attempt to fsi.lWß

and indignantly return his commission, \ 'jH
after what Gon. Jackson has said ami ,l w Vj

that ho will not aid the court in cnntradiuinn

for debts due to the hank ? Docs not the brnntlifl

from the slate banks, in settlement for tbei! ■

States hank notes? And arc these lliu practice [I
by which llic miifoni value is given lo the aitln jl
of the United Slates hank '! In a word, in win' J
do the branches of the United States buns h|
differ, so far us tho public is concenin!. |
fiom so many local hunks, without cunnexiuu I
w ith each other? In nothing. Let Cungro I ''
reveiSu the picture ami make the notes of llic
state hunks a legal lender, and reject those of
the United Stales bunk, in payment for duties
and lands, and then sec if this uniform values
boasted of, would not ho transferred to those of f
slate banks. The government is necessary tv |
the hank, and not the bunk to lho government, i
It is the government which ci calcs ami mail
tains the uniformity of its currency—in sidtn.i' j
the opoi a'ions ofllio le‘*-K ttscll, which all tend j
to establish a difference in it—for itsownparj-VT I
sCs. The directois of the hank say il cannot n I
ceive its own notes, but at the point they an
made payable ; that if compelled to do so, it
ruin must ho the result. Are they not all loci: |
hanks, then,hound together as a grand monopoly I
for all purposes of profit to itself, while as regards
the public accommodation it is shorn of its use
fulness? Why should such a monopoly orcoiti
location of local hunks, he prcfeired lor llio pc
collar and exclusive enjoyment of the patronage,
of the government ? Are llio stock holders
more worthy, or better citizens? Have they >
dime more fur the country mi J hhei ties of the
people ? Are they a more noble and superior
race ! Are they more intelligent or more hon
est? On the contrary, dues not one fourth oi
the stock belong exclusively lo foreigners, men
who are enemies to our prosperity—who liavn
been cneinios when our country was in danger,
and who on » like occasion would hc our ene
mies again! Is it not apparent on the face el
tho retains made by the hank itself, that the
president and a majority of its directors are
mere trnsti-os, lo enable foreigners lo evade tli'
laws of the states—laws which all the stales'
have deemed necessary and salutary.
That the bank is convenient to tho Secretary
of llio Treasury in iho collection of ihe revenues
of the government, nobody will deny. That n
is necessary for that purpose, no man of voracity
will assert—because the fact that the collections
were as safely and cheaply niado during several
years when there was uo such hank, stand-'
ready to contradict him. The same mean
only increased in amplitude and security are
now offered for Ihe same purpose, gratis—nay\
begged to bo accepted—by institutions as safe
i as the United Stales hank, conducted by meu
■ equal to them in every respect, except in dera
tion to foreign interests and foreign connexion?,
men who have preserved tha credit anj main
tnined tire solvency of their hanks, under the
pressure of tho United States hank? with the
whole influence of the government at its back,
though they have been thus robbed of the best
half of their earnings—and if they have con
ducted so well under the ban and oppression of
the government which owes them a protection,
why may they not equally well or hotter, when
some of its patronage is extended to them, and
withheld from their oppressors?
If the notes of all the state banks, which paid
specie on demand, were mailo receivable m
payments to the government, their value would
be as uniform, and they would answer all the
purposes of government equally as well or bet
ter than that of the United States bank, Every*
