Evening Star,) and the most agreeable one in every respect, is edited by Mrs. Giiaian, and published semi monthly. It is most admirably conducted by a lady evidently of intelligence and refinement. And we most readily and heartily recommend it to the public as in every respect entitled to their patronage. LITTELL’S MUSEUM Os Foreign Literature, Science, and Art. The contents of the October No. of this ex cellent work are, as usual, highly varied and in teresting, as may he judged of in some degree by reference to the table of them in our adver tising columns, and a glance at the titles of the numerous popular and able English works from which they arc extracted —to say nothing of the judgment, taste, and ability generally manifested in the selections of the Museum, which is com posed of the most useful, instructive, and enter taining matter of all the English Magazines. The piesent No. is also embellished with a line full length portrait of the celebrated French poet Berasgeb, accompanied hy a brief biographical sketch of that exceedingly popular and spirited national songster, so enthusiastically devoted to Napoleon, and the military glory of his country. ' MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA. The fourth annual course of lectures in this institution, commenced on Monday, and, we are gratified to learn (says the Constitutionalist,) with the most flattering prospects, both to the faculty and to their pupils: to the former, because their reward will be proportionate to the number in the class; and to the latter, because we believe every preparation has been made to render their advan tages equal to those offered hy the most favored schools of the Union. We sincerely congratulate Iho profession for the increasing prosperity of the college they have so successfully reared, amidst the many difficul- •* * NTirw.paßaa—ML'OTi~sM«r,.i • tubmiiii ■ —«■ ■■ i i * I ties with which they have had to contend. That their exertions will ho highly useful to the com immity at large, and duly appreciated hy all, can not admit of a doubt. Experience has long since i demonstrated, that wherever medical schools have - j been established, the immediate effect has been Ito elevate the standard of the profession, to s j excite its members to laudable emulation, and manifestly to diminish the ratio of mortality. We , therefore take especial pleasure in calling the at . tenticn of our follow citizens to the Medical Col - lege of Georgia. ’ The introductory lectures, we are informed will ho delivered every day this week, at 12 o’- t clock, M.

The necessa ry expense of Board and Tuition for the Scho lastic year is s2ll, one half less than the same amount of instruction costs in Philadelphia, New York, or Boston, This School has a library of 800 volumes, extensive Apparatus, fifteen Piano Portes, an Organ, Sciaphine, Uphonia, Guitars, Flageolets, and Harp. There are lit) Piano Forte pupils! Music will he plenty next year. Young ladies in future will take care not to have colds, when asked to play and sing—the request may not bo repeated, as there will bo so many others ready to supply the deficiency.— Courier. FROM THE SENTINEL. “After giving is the state of the polls in Rich- I mond County, the Chronicle proceeds thus : “ Sic transit gloria Monday ! (not a bad pun by the way.) And so much for the hopes of those who violently opposed Federalists, Force bill men, and Union men in one breath, and nominate and vote for them in the next,’’ &c. And pray how would the gloria Monday have transited without such « nomination 1 How did it transit last year, and the year before 1 Had the nomination succeeded, wo should have had in the Senate, a liberal, independent,highminded, anti-Van lluren, anti-Caucus, Union man. It having failed, we arc precisely where wc would have been had it never been made, except that we have made some friends, and gained some aux iliaries by it, which perhaps wo should have never made. “ And beaten as they are, do they not feel that they richly deserve it ?” No : but if wo had folded our arms without a struggle—if wo had furthered hy our neutrality, the election of a man, who, to all General Flour noy’s political errors, as wc read them, added two more, of a most deadly character—then indeed wc should feel that we deserve it. Let it bo remem bered no State Rights candidate was proposed for the Senate. Now, if we understand the doc trine of the Chronicle, it is in such a slate of things, let your adversary, no matter what his po litical complexion, walk in and help himself— ' Let him riot in nil the wantonness of political , error—lot him make laws, make judges, make presidents, and confirm caucuses at his will. In the meantime, look upon the desolation which he is spreading around, and console yourself with the reflection that you did not put him there, nor raise a finger to keep him out. And carry on the principle. While you are encouraging the worst of men to usurp all power at home, help the mosl abandoned to usurp ail power abroad, hy your apathy, and when your liberty is buried under the ruins of the Republic, you may console your self with the reflection, that you oidy hastened, but did not produce its overthrow. Bush on the principle. If no circumstances will justify the Nullifler in voting for a Union man ; no circum stances will justify the Union man in voting for | the Nullifler. Wo should rather condemn there fore, than applaud those who have come over to our help since the last October. They have doubtless been as violently opposed to Nullifica tion as wc have been to Federalists, “ Force-Bill” men and “Union men.” Some of them, per haps, have seen that Nullification is not the mon ster which it has been cried up to he others look | upon it as they always have, hut see (how can ! they help seeing it) that there is far more danger j at this time, from Federalism, Consolidation, and j Van Burcnism, than there is from Nullification; I and they have yielded tip their party prejudices upon the altar of their country. We can say to them, “ your hands friends ! As you have done to us in your counties, so did wc to you in ours. Are you Union men 1 welcome to your political faith, until further reflection shall change or con firm it. Wo arc still Null!Hors, open, undisguised Nullifies —aye, and with our eye upon the load ed wagons in our streets and the growing wealth of the country, we speak it with pride and cxul tation —South Caholina Nri-timms ; hut grant unto us the like charity and indulgence. We arc now on a common platform, and engaged in a good work ; here let us remain in friendship, until another clash between the State and the General Government; and then, farewell again— you to the last, we to the first.” But what should the Chronicle say to them 1 “ 4re you Nulli fiers, gentlemen 1” “No sir.” “Then wc tell ' you as wc have told you in times past, ‘ that you ■ never ought to succeed by’ our ‘ means’: ‘ and we say it now again, with as firm a conviction of i its truth as if it were visibly stampt upon the mind ! I and conscience, that prompted by it the unerring i ' hand of God himself. We earnestly entreat you, . I as you value your principles and your country, to think well on this matter and adopt a different course for the future.’ ” Wc have no doubt, but that, the Editor of the - Chronicle is sincere, in his opinions. Me is sup ported hy some of our ablest men, and warmest 5 friends; but to us they are monstrous, baseless, 1 ruinous. The more wo reflect on them, the more t preposterous they seem. Teach us that they are 1 j the only security to principle, and wc will adopt , I them to-morrow. What do the Nullifier’s prin ciples require of him! To vote for a Nullifler, 0 whether he be a Van Bitten man. Webster man, or Troup maul To vote for a Nullifler, regard less of his views upon every thing else hut Stale I rights and State remedies! To vote for him in s preference to the Union man, who is his superior 0 in every moral and intellectual qualification ! lo 1 vote for nobody hut a Nullifler, under any and all circumstances 1 If these be the principles of I Nullification, we now know them for the first r j time; and we despise them. But we do not so c I understand them. They are far more elevated and dignified in their character, as wc apprehend * | them. They require of their votary a paramount ' j allegiance to his State—They require of him to d ; maintain the right of the State to judge what powers she has yielded and what she has retain ir cd—They require of him to maintain her judge ment with all his moral and physical energies.— c They require of him, in case of collision of opi- I- won between his Slate and the General Govern ment, to lecommend to the former, neither sub mission nor secession: hut the moral force of law against law, and Judge against Judge. They maintain that ours is a confederation of States s i and to talk of majorities ruling among States, is to justify the dismemberment of Poland, and the coalition against France, upon a principle of municipal law. It requires them, other things being equal, to support those who support these principles. Here the principles of Nullification stop. When there is nothing in the state of the country which calls, or is likely to call, for the ex ercise of those principles, it leaves its champion at liberty to shake hands witli their old foes, if they choose; and to fight under a common stand ard against any common enemy. Such a meet ing, imports the same abandonment of principle, Unit our trade with Groat Britain imports, as to the principles of ’76. “ It may he bad enough to be beaten, hut it must be doubly so lo those who have denied them selves the noble consolation of feeling that they do not merit it, ‘ and that if Home must fall, they are innocent.' ’’ Wc think so; but who is to enjoy this noble consolation depends upon the cause of Romo’s fall. If it fall from the elevation of a man to the Presidency, who lives in the focus of Abolition— if it fall from a usurpation of the elective fran chise by a knot of unprincipled demagogues—if it fall from the promotion of unworthy men to all the high places of the country —the consola tion will not belong to the man who looked pas sively upon the gathering of all these evils over Rome, while ho was digging about and watering Iho tree of Nullification. His would he the con solation of the man, who, seeing Rome on fire, refused to put it out, because a Nullifler would not hand the bucket. Ours would he the conso lation of the man who mounted upon the first building that caught, and cried aloud for water from any and every hand to extinguish it, but could not get it.” We give the remarks of the Sentinel entire, as wc find them—not mutilated and garbled as ours are, in the above article; and, that the rea der may judge how fairly it has dealt hy us, wc republish the article it has replied 10, as follows; “ Sic transit gloria Monday !—Aud so much for the hopes of those who violently oppose Fed eralists, Force-bill men, and Union men in one breath, and nominate and vote for them in the next; and profess that their principles are neces sary to the salvation of Iho country and its libc.- tics, and yet ardently and unnecessarily bring out and support the very men who are charged with trampling them under foot. Is not this too much—loo bad I Can they hope for any confi dence in themselves or their principles while they do so 1 And beaten, as they are, do they not feel, that they richly deserve it? Have they not been taught this lesson again and again within the last few years; and are they fully determined to shut their eyes against it, aud refuse lo learn wisdom from experience 1 If they would but do so now, their present defeat would ultimately prove to them a triumph, hy pointing out to them the only road to future success. It may ho had enough to he beaten, but it must be doubly so to those who have denied themselves the noble con solation of feeling that they do not merit it, and that “if Romo must fall, they are innocent.” — We say this in sorrow, not in anger; and if wc wound their feelings, God knows that it is done from a desire to save them from a similar result in future. Wc have told them repeatedly, for years past, that they never will, never can, and never ought to succeed hy such means ; and wo say it now again, with as firm a conviction of its truth, as if it were visibly stamped upon the mind and conscience that prompt it, by the unerring hand of God himself. Wc earnestly cnh-cat them, as they value their principles and their country, to think well on this matter, and adopt a dillerent course for the future.” “How would the gloria Monday have transi ted without such a nomination 1 Certainly not worse, for that is not possible. Wc should have been beaten, hut honorably, had we nominated an entire ticket of our own principles—and com manded the respect of our opponents, sot a good example before our partizans, gratified, encour aged, and stimulated those who are allied to us hy principle alone, and manifested an honest and sincere belief in our principles, hy a consistent adherence to them in trial, and against temptation. Cannot the Sentinel believe that there are men in our party who scorn all indirect means—who desire success, for the sake of principle, alone— who would spurn from them any success in theii power, that could not he obtained without the slightest inconsistency, or compromise of princi ple—and who are discouraged, disheartened, dis gusted, silenced, shamed out of all zealous, noble, persevering efforts, and all but driven out of the party, hy conduct, which they cannot approve, and arc charged with promoting distraction and division, if they honestly condemn 1 Does it not know, that there are thousands of generous hearted, chivalric, disinterestad, and patriotic young men among ns, who attached themselves to our parly in its hour of greatest trial, solely from devotion to its principles—who, with that purity of purpose, enthusiastic zeal, and indomi table faith, natural to uncorrupled youth, will go on with you in tire good cause, proud to share its perils, glorying in its sacrifices, and gathering fresh zeal from defeat; confident that “ truth is mighty, and must prevail,” so long as you keep it pure and undefiled, and cheer them with a good example; hut who, when they find that you arc merely struggling for party and power, and practising yourselves, the very arts and means that you violently abuse in others, will first be come shocked, disgusted, and discouraged, then doubtful of all political honor, truth and virtue then downright political infidels, looking upon politics as a mere game, in which “all is fair,” “the end justifies the means,” the players “men of principle according to their interest," and justified in “fighting their opponents with their own weapons”—and then, thus corrupted, they will naturally seize the first opportunity of quit ting your minority, to play on the side of the majority. Does it not sec and believe, that the 1 whole country (one glorious little spot excepted,) r has been corrupted in this way, and that all our young men, instead of being taught a firm faith i in political virtue, and encouraged to rely on ! Him, alone, who. in politics, as everything else, is j the sole strength, and will test his disciples by , adversity and temptation, and raise up the true I in their hour of weakness, and prostrate the false -so that of their fancied strength—arc made tho- I rough political infidels and hypocrites as soon as i- (hey become inducted into politics, and fit instru i- m cnts fo r the degradation and destruction of their - country? Has not this infidelity become so ' universal, that there arc none to expose and con- J > * ’ demn it, and that a mere show of virtue, or par s tial practice of it—anything, indeed, that is less ) vile than the vilest—is taken as the true faith? *' Is it not common to justify our own vices, by ’ tile greater ones of our opponents, and to defend , ourselves, not by proving our own innocence, but i hy attacking the vices of our assailants ? Have ■ not vve ourselves, been told again and again, in j, opposition lo our adherence to principle, that it . would not do—that we must take the world os it . is, and deal with men as they are, and not as we ■ would have them —that wc must use a little/to/rcy —by the bye wc use it altogether, believing ; honesty the best policy, but the word has got to ■ he perfectly synonymous with trickeiy, hipoensy, deceit, &c. &c.—that wc must fight our oppo nents with their own weapons—and that if we cannot got what wc want, wc should take what we can got, &c. &c. Now, is not this monstrous —an entire confounding of good and evil—and does not our own misconduct thus justify the misconduct of our opponents, and keep them in countenance, while we might otherwise shame them, hy presenting such a contrast of our vir tues with their vices, as would enable the people lo distinguish clearly and undoubtedly, the one from the other? For our own part, we dispiso above all things, your ingenious mixtures of good and evil, and firmly believe that it were far better for the general cause of virtue, that a man should he totally had, and thus present an object to bo plainly shunned and detested, than to pos sess so much of both, as to bo enabled to render his vices palatable hy their admixture with his virtues, and to propagate the former, under cover of the latter. Before God, we respect and admire the thorough villain, who lias the boldness to act consistently, and take the responsibility of his conduct and character, far mort. than your paltry hypocrite, who is over “halting between two opinions,” and “stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil inand do not wonder that God himself has said of them, “inasmuch as yc arc neither hot nor cold, I spew ye out of my mouth.” There is neither merit in thorn as friends, ot in overcoming and converting them as enemies, and they are loft to perish as the beasts of the field. Cannot the Sentinel believe, too, that there are honestly disposed men of the other party, who would join ours, if wo only so acted as to command their respect, and secure their confi dence? We know there arc. Wc have again and again marked this, in conversation with our old Clark associates, and have felt no little shame, when, on our pointing oat the abuses of their party, they have promptly acknowledged and condemned them, ami retorted liy pointing out i similar ones in ours, and asking where was our I right to accuse them, and wherein they would I better themselves hy quilting their own to join it ? i Thus, our inconsistencies are made to excuse t theirs, and theirs ours; ami pray what is to ho- I come of a country, where each party excuses 1 its own misconduct, hy that ot the other ? Is it < not time that a different course should he pursued 1 —time that something should he done in the way f of reform, if wo would save the country from utter ‘ destruction—and is it not the best & surest mode, 1 for each who thinks so, to begin with himself, and 1 set a good example to others ? Is it not utter * nonsense—worse than nonsense—lo attempt it 1 by preaching one thing and practising another— 1 yea, openly practising the very conduct wo at the 1 same time violently condemn in others ? And 1 is it not utterly contemptible—a thing to make 1 us hated and dispised—to seek lo make men love 1 and worship Virtue, by holding out to their gaze 1 a deformed and disgusting imago of her—a rag- 1 ged and tattered effigy—a thing “of shreds and ; patches?” Away with such a mockery ! Let us deal fairly witli the people we profess to serve, and gain their confidence only by deserving it; remembering that men can never he made to he lievc in any principles, till they have full faith in the individual honesty and sincerity of those who teach them; and that when litis is gained, the oth er follows of course. It was the pure, consistent, unequivocal personal conduct and character of Jesus Christ himself, that established the Chris tian religion, more than the truth of the religion itself-—the heroic, devoted, disinterested, and vir tuous course es the leaders in Carolina, that effec ted her success, more than her glorious principles, pure, and true, and virtuous as those principles | arc—and in like manner must he the success of the State Rights party of Georgia, if it succeed at all. God forefend—we say it from the very bottom of our hearts—that it should ever succeed hr any other way. If its principles do not first purify those who now hold them, they cannot he expected to effect good on others, under such teachers—and till they have done this, those whom wc would urge to adopt them, might well reply to us, “Physician, heal thyself.” The fact cannot be disguised, that the whole ■ country is in a dreadful condition, auguring the most melancholy and distressing results. The , elements of anarchy and mischief are every where | at work, and if not speedily allayed, hy an appeal | to the public virtue of the people, will present a j general scene of confusion and ruin to astonish the world, and such as the world has perhaps • never seen. The editor of the Sentinel is a pro fessor of religion, and a firm and sincere believer, ■ wc trust, in the unerring jo-lice and equity of i God, and the continual influence of his laws i over all earthly things and events. He is con i scions of the multiplied evils rife in the land ; r and can he believe that the political outrages i throughout the country of men in power, tire i corrupt hankering after office, the mad rage of * parly, tiro dangerous character of the aspirants r on cither side for the highest offices in fire eon : fcdcracy, the sacrifice of all other considerations > to the mere success of the one or the other, and ■ the onwardprogressof Abolitionism, bigotry,and ; fanataeism, arc all things of chance—lire effects -of mere accident ? Does not all history, ancient r * or modern, sacred or profane, fully testify that ) each downfall of a nation was preceded hy cor • ruption, and the consequent madness of it now ■ rife in ours; and that nations, as well as indivi i duals are strictly responsible for their conduct, and must alike pay the penalties of vice, and a continual disregard of virtue, justice, and morali ty ? Has not our country been long characterised hy n monstrous disregard of principle and con -1 sistency, in all parties, combined with perversions of power, a cruel disregard for the r ights of the weak, and a prostration of all justice, in the doal ; ings of the majority toward the minority, and the ’ strong sections toward the weak, while the weak ' themselves shamelessly practise tire same conduct ' wherever they have the power, that they con -1 dhrau when practised against themselves ? All this is shocking, monstrous; to doubt that it would bring upon us the mischiefs that now menace us, would be to doubt the consistency and justice of God himself, and the efficacy of his laws ; and in the midst of the general abandon ment, it may well be doubted whether there will ultimately be found even seven just men in any city, to appeal for mercy, and excuse it from the general doom. What shall wc do, then—rush on madly as heretofore, each hiding his ow n mad ness in that of his fellows, and, utterly regard less of the omnipotent and mysterious power of right and virtue, rely wholly upon ourselves, our own selfish views, perverted wisdom, and narrow conceptions of temporary and temporizing policy and expediency, Mind to the continual developo monts of its suicidal folly, and deaf to all the dictates of experience ? Or, shall wo calmly re view the past, and correct its errors—see and feel our own weakness, and the uselessness of trust ing thus solely upon ourselves—and, making a last appeal to the wisdom and mercy of Heav en, and relying implicitly on its power and will, abandon all party policy, trickery, and deceit, and fearlessly “do our duty, and leavo the conse quences to God ?” It is high time to adopt some new course. The policy of the Sentinel has been industriously and pcrseveringly tried for years and years; and, having sunk continually lower and lower under its influence, shall wo slil go on madly hugging and increasing the subtle mischief that is eating into our very vitals, and poisoning all the sources of truth and virtue ? For ourselves, we have done with it, forever, come what may; a little time must shew which xs right; but when too late we fear lo correct the danger of delay. “How,” continues the Sentinel, “did it transit last year, and the yeat before ?” If no better, be cause little or no better policy was used. An is sue on our principles has never yet been fairly made up. With one or two exceptions, the can didates have all denied the principles of their par ly, wherever they went, and the principles of themselves, also, for we never found that they differed from us, except in policy, and a more name,) in the hope of gaining votes; forgetting, that the men opposed to those principles would very naturally prefer to vote for the.ir own candi dates, and men neither accused or suspected of them, and that their course not only brought them selves into suspicion, and their principles into contempt, and cut off all hope of new converts to them, hut disheartened, discouraged, and disgusted their best friends, and neutralized all their efforts. Could they convince the opponents of Nullifica lion (hat they were, not Nullifiers? No. And if those opponents believed of Nullification what they said of it, was it not very natural that they should arguo to themselves, when they heard il denied, “Oh, yes, you will deny it of course, for it is not to bo wondered that you should fear to acknowledge it, if it be tire evil tiring supposed and declared. We never heard of nn accused criminal acknowledging his offence. You will of course plead not guilty, whether you are so or not, hut who will take your own word for it? Your fear of Nullification proves that it is vicious ; and if you are really opposed to it, what do you do asso ciating with Nullifiers, supporting them, and they supporting you—and opposing Union men, and all opposed to Nullification, wherever you find them ? No, no, gentlemen, your conduct is too equivocal, and so much worse Ilian that of open Nullifiers, as it looks like that of wolves in sheep’s clothing,”—Disgusted, too, with such a dealing with Nullification, many of the Nullifiers will not vote for them ; and thus they lose voles of iheir own party, without gaining those for | which they sacrifice them. It is a matter beyond | all dispute, that lire party has totally failed in eve ry county where it lias sought to succeed hy such moans—while it has gloriously succeeded in every one where it has come out openly in favor of its true principles, and dealt plainly and openly with tha people. Look at Columbia, Burke, Scrivcn, Jefferson, Lincoln, Newton, Oglethorpe, Troup, and other such counties, where tire principles j have been fairly and consistently dealt with, and I what a contrast do they present to Richmond, and 1 other counties, where a similar policy has been pursued ; and mark how completely the contrast | prostrates the argument and condemns the policy |of the Hontinel. Three-fourths, at least, of the people of Georgia, are Nullifiers at heart and in | principle—one-fourth of them without knowing it—and all they need to adopt it, is that honesty, and consistency on the part of its advocates,which can alone obtain their confidence, and that open advocacy of it every where, which can alone make them understand it. As it is, its own friends arc its worst enemies, and have done more to bring il into discredit, Ilian all Iho assaults of its enemies. It is astonishing to us that its politic friends do not see this, and leant wisdom from it. Temptation and trial are always in the way • of right; and it is only hy pcrseveringly resist ing them, no matter how dangerous it may seem to do so, or however delusive their false promises, that il can possibly succeed.

In tire act which admitted Missouri as a state, there is the following clause—section 8, which was adopted as a compronvso of the question. “In all that territory ceded by France to the United Slates, under the name of Louisiana, which lies north of thirty six degrees and thirty minutes north lati tude, not included within the limits of the state contemplated hy this act, slavery and involuntary servitude, otherwise than in the punishment of crimes, whereof the parties shall have been duly convinced, shall and is hereby, forever prohibi ted.”—Georgia Constitutionalist.

Some signs oi activity had began to lu? mani.W tod u» the close of hist week, hut near ly a total slip was put to further transactions hy the mail that came in on Sunday, bringing hue and unfavorable accounts of the situation of the markets of Liverpool and Havre. Holders who before were somewhat sanguine in their expecta tions, finding it impossible to effect sales on for mer terms, consented, alter a day or two ol inde cision, to lower considerably in their demands, but buyers have shown no disposition whatever to dose with their oilers; auch indeed is the depres snl slate of the market at this moment, that we , <l° not believe sales could Ijc made short of a rc j liuclion of 2 cents on the prices previously paid* i It would bo impossible to say how long this slate I of inaction may continue; it appears to bo the general imprssion, however, that nothing of any . great importance will be done until we have fur ther and more satisfactory intelligence from a broad; unless, perhaps, some slight degree ofani motion may ho imparted by the arrival among us ol buyers for the manufactories at the North, whir * are our earliest customers, and may possibly ex cite some little competition. The truth of the matter, however, is, that.lhe prices given in the hrst instance, were much higher titan is warrant ■ ed under existing circumstances, and wo are a . fraid that it may have an injurious tendency, now i that the market is just about opening, i The sales ol the Ist inst. areas follows, viz: of ; Louisiana and Mississippi, 142 bales at 19*; 85, 19; 55,19; 108, 19}; 71, 19; 124, 19} ; and 90 bales Tennessee at 17 cents per lb.— P.

The sales to exporters are 1750 bales I American, and 100 Brazils. Speculators have | taken 1200 hales American, 200 Brazils, and 100 Surats.

Sept. 7—The improved demand for Cotton noticed in our circular of 31st ult., has not been followed up, as had been expected by many, but after two or three days of moderate business, the market, towards the latter part of last week, re lapsed into its former dull stale, and continues now extremely heavy and depressed. The little improvement in prices gained during the better demand a week ago, has been lost, the business going forward being fully as low, or lower than the operations ten or twelve days since, and in general qualities about 1} a 1 }d. below the high est point ofthe market in May last. In good and' fine Cotton the decline is not so great as this, but in inferior qualities, which are very abundantly offered, it is even greater, while the lowest de scription of Alabama may he said to he quite nominal. Some very inferior parcels, barely mer chantable, are offering in tlje market at 7}d. without finding buyers. Sept. B.—On Saturday there was a moderate demand for Cotton; sales about 1500 bales; yes terday there was also a moderate enquiry ; sales 2500 bales, of which 500 were for export, and the appearance of the market has not improved.” MARRIED, In this city, on the 14th inst., by the Rev.
