2 vEhrnniflc and Sentinel. AUGUSTA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15. Ship Rosalind. —The Charleston Courier ol yesterday says: —By the arrival of the packet boat Neptune, from the wreck of the ship Rosa lind, we learn that the crews of the smacks C. Mallory and Daniel Havens, previously reported as having been seen in the breakers, near Stono, on Sunday morning last, have all been saved, with the exception of one man, Mr. C. Michel, a native of Naples, and owner of the C. Mallo ry. Fortunately,shortly after the accident, both smacks swung together, which enabled the crew of the C. Mallory, who were on her bottom at the time, to reach the deck of the Daniel Ha vens, where they remained until about 1.1 o’- clock on Sunday morning last, when they were taken off by the boats of the other smacks in the vicinity, in an exhausted state. C. Michel died about an half hour before the boats came to their relief. His body was fell on board of the smack, the boats being scarcely large enough to save the living. The two smacks have since drove ashore on the beach, and will not lie got otf. -They were driven into the breakers on Saturday night last, in endeavoring to reach Stono Inlet. The ship Rosalind remains pretty much in the same situation as when Capi. Bray left. Since writing the above, the smack Intrepid has arrived, with the crew ol shipJßosalind, and the crew saved from smack C. Mallory. Seve ral of the ship’s crew had their clothing on board of the wrecked smacks, all ot which has lieen lost. The Black Tongue. This frightful epidemic, which has made its appearance in New Madrid County, Ind., is thus described by a correspondent ot the St. Louis Republican:—“The disease here is not always characterized with a swelling and black ness of the tongue, (which, when it does, has proven fatal in five of six cases,) but the visita tion or inflammation sometimes seats itself in the joints, the ancle, knee, or hip, and frequent ly in one side of the head and in one eye, w hich swells, turns red, and shortly before death, like the tongue, turns black. In some instances, the malady seats itself in some of the vital organs, lungs, liver, &c. This county is well supplied with medical gentlemen of science and talents, but thus far, the disease truly appears to baffle all skill, or perhaps is unmanageable. The disease frequently runs its course in a few hours, the patient is taken off, or is pronounced by his physician past danger. I would add, that nothing can surpass the gloom and affliction here presented: to ride through the neighborhood, and observe the la mentations of the living, a group of fatherless and motherless children, is enough to melt the most obdurate heart.’ 1 From the Baltimore Patriot. The Senate. REJECTIONS AND NOMINATIONS. There were some circumstances connected with the action of the Senate on the last night of the session, to which we conceive it highly' important that public attention should be distinct ly drawn. The Whigs of the Union have reason to be proud of their noble Senators who resisted the presumption of the Chief Magistrate in pressing upon them nominees once and again rejected : Throughout the whole of those trying proceed ings they acted as became men placed there to perform high and responsible duties. But in proportion to the respect and admiration felt to wards them, will be the cemrtrreof all independ ent minds upon those who pursue the opposite course. There was a time when we would have thought that John C. Calhoun would have lost his right arm rather than yielded his vote to this petulant demand of the President. And George McDuffie too! Who expected to see him ready to surrender the dignity, and the deliberate de cision of the Senate to tire irritable dictation of such a man as John Tyler? With his eminent abilities—in some respects equal to those of his colleague, in others superior—has he yet so lit tle of what may' be called “stand alone-ism" that he must needs attach himself to Mr. Calhoun even in this act of subservience. Not less worthy of praise was the conduct of the Whig Senators, in regard to the China mis sion It Juo to tho able and accomplished EveretrTo‘staTeTTi‘aft?ie'vbtes.'tgnrnsrcontirmir.g the no. nation for China were not aimed at him; l»u intended solely to reprobate the ar rangement by which he was to be transferred, probably against his will, and certainly without consulting his in order to make room at the Court of St. James for another; and that other to be appointed during the recess in the face of the well understood lactthat, if nomina ted to the Senate, he could not be confirmed. There were other circumstances also, most rep rehensible: —well calculated to excite suspicion that from the first a rankyoA was meditated— and that it was to be effected by nothing less than a fraud upon the constitutional authority of the Senate. The officer to be sent to China was designa ted "Agent," not "Minister;" although a sum was appropriated for the service twice as large as ever was given to the highest diplomatic mission abroad! Why was this? Simply to avoid the Senatorial ordeal. The Constitution requires the sanction ot the Senate to the nomi nation of a “Minister;” but an “Agent” may be appointed by the President alone. Unluckily for the consummation of this pitiful trick, (we can call it no less,) the Senate perceived the purpose evidently designed and insisted that the appointment of the agent should first receive their advice and consent; and also that his salary should be limited to the ordinary compensation for Ministers of the highest grade. it is understood Mr. Everett barely escaped rejection. What are we to think of the friend, who for the advancement of his own ulterior views,subjected the absent Minister to such a risk, at the same time that he took care not to encounter the same hazard himself! Suppose Mr. Everett had been rejected (noton account of any opposition to him, but to defeat a scheme lor evading the proper constitutional investigation and power of the Senate) —would not the coun try have stigmatized the conduct of any friend who hadplacedhiminsuch a position,as unkind in the highest degree—nay, cruelly unjust, if not treacherous? It is given out that the Secretary ol State is preparing to leave that Department, and will be shortly appointed Minister to England. Ol his eminent qualifications for the conduct ot negoti ations with foreign powers the mass of his coun try are fully assured; and however desirous those who have been among his warmest admir ers, and his most ardent and disinterested sup porters, may be to see him, for his own honor and best interests, separated entirely from the present feeble, faithless,and wavering Chief Mag istrate, yet they might (in the belief that when removed from his present associates he would become truly and emphatically the representa tive ofhis country,) acquiesce in his appointment if it were modern conformity to the spirit oft he Con stitution. But it may well be questioned wheth er that spirit will not be violated by the appoint ment of a gentleman, after the Senate had ad journed, whose nomination that body would have rejected. Certainly if such should become a common practice, every body must see that it would be a vital stab at the power of the Senate. No one has contended more strenuously than Mr. Webster, that this power is not a mere formality. It will be seen whether he will pay it any sub stantial regard; or, on the other hand, treat it as a mere formality; and thus (to use his own lan guage on another occasion) saction an opinion not favorable to the Government, in the aggregate not favorable to the Constitution; noi favorable to the Senate; but favorable to the Executive a lone! SPECTATOR. A Singular Vote.—The Legislature of Mis souri, both houses, concurred in pronouncing Judge Leland “deficient in legal knowledge.” In the Senate, the vote was 28 to 4, in the House 62 to 29. Subsequently, the Senate refused, by a vote ot 16 to 16, to move an address to the Governor tor his removal. By their vote, the members keep in a Judge they declare to be in competent. Mr. Van Buren's Prospects in Albany. The Evening Journal says, the New York Legislature hesitates about nominating Mr. Van Buren, who is on hand, urging his suit. Hesi tation is death to him. It must be done. The Journal adds: “Our ‘favorite sun’ is not sure of a legislative nomination. There is a natural unwillingness to trust a Pilot, who has once run a ship ashore high and dry.” A Tvmult. —The Frankfort correspondent ot the Lexington Intelligencer, states that there was a “ relic! ” row in Trimble county, on the last County Court day. The sheriff, owing to the excitement, refused on that day to quality. That night the clerk’s office was burnt down. Gov. Letcher has nominated another sheriff to the Senate. R. M. Johnson has been nominated for the Presidency, and Gov. Woodbury for the Vice Presidency, at a meeting in Chemung county, N. Y. Practical Striking for Wacks.—A manu facturer at Lowell having refused to pay the wages due the girls in his employ, they caught him and gave him a severe beating. Syria and Palestine.—When the British licet was withdrawn liom the coast of Syria, in itjß), * corps of engineers, all picked men, was left behind, in order to make a military survey of the country' throughout its whole extent. — Three officers, Majors Robe, Scott, and Wil braham, were constantly occupied in making surveys in all quarters ; and in the southern part, Lieut. Symonds carried a series of trian gles over the greater portion of Judea and the country around the plain of Esdraelon, includ ing lines of altitudes from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea and Lake of Tiberias. Some of these gentlemen are members of the Royal Ge ographical Society of London; and when the English government shall have made the use it choose of the results of their labors, it is under stood that they' will be given to the world. — Bib liotheca Sacra.

On Monday morning, the Cth, our attention was called to a paragraph in the newspapers stating that a Ce/aet was visible near the sun at mid-day with the naked eye. The sky was clear; but, not being able to discover any thing with the unassisted eye, recourse was had to a telescope without any belter success. About sunset in the evening the examination was re newed with great diligence but to no purpose. As the stars began to peep out, observers were multiplied; Capella, Rigil, Beta(B) in the Bull, Delta Jn Orion, and Alpha (A) in the 1 [are, came to the meridian and their transits were marked by one observer, while another, with close attention, watched through the fading light of the western horizon for the Comet and its tail. The last faint streak of day gilded the west, beautiful and delicate fleeces of sander cloud curtained the bed of the sun, tjjc upper sky was studded with stars, and hopes bf seeing the Comet that evening had vanished. Soon after we had retired, the officer ot the watch announced the appearance of the Comet in the west. The phenomenon was sublime and beautiful. The needle was greatly agitated, and a strongly' marked pencil ot light was streaming up from the path of the sun in an ob lique direction to the southward and eastward ; its edges were parallel. It was about 1 deg. 30 min. broad, and 30 deg. long. Stars could be seen twinkling through it, and no doubt wasj at first entertained, but that this was the tail ot the Comet. The officer of the watch was directed to search the eastern sky with the. telescope in the morning, from early' dawn and before till sunrise. Nothing strange or uncommon was noted by' him. Tuesday was a beautiful day; the air was still and the sky clear. With the aid of the teles copes, a regular and systematic examination of the heavens was commenced. Every' point of space within 15 deg. of the sun, in all directions, was passed and repassed over and over again, through the field ol the telescopes, and minutely examined, in the hope of discovering the Comet itself. The entire day was occupied in thus ex ploring that portion of the heavens. In the af ternoon a black spot, in shape not unlike a lib erty cap, was discovered fn the sun. But the day was fast declining, and with the fading light of evening the interest was too intense to turn away from the telescope for other andniore exact observations upon this spot. The sun set clear, gilding, as it sunk below the hills, a narrow streak of wane cloud, seen through the tree-tops beyond the Potomac. The “tail’’ had appeared of great length for the first time the evening before; therefore we expected to find its length this evening greatly increased. It was a moment of intense interest when the first stars began to appear. The last rays of the sun still lingeredonthe horizon; and at this moment just about the region of the up per crepusculum, a well-defined pencil of hairy light, was seen pointing towards the sun. At sh. 41m. siderial time, the first measurement of length ot the “tail” was taken, it measured 41 deg. to the horizon. At 6h. 19m. it had become most distinct. It was then 1 deg. 45m. broad and 55 deg. long, not including the part be low the horizon, which supposing its termin us to be near the sun, could not, owing to the oblique angle which it made with the horizon, be less than 10 or 15 degrees more. It now commenced gradually to fade away, and in a short time had entirely disappeared. The morn ing observations were diligently renewed, but nothing could be seen worthy ot note. Wednesday', fly ing masses of “Cirrus strat us” occasionally obscured the sun; but prepara tions were made lor determining tbe right ascen sion and declination ot the “spot” on the disc of the sun; if, perchance, that spot should prove to be the nucleus of the comet. At noon, the ■ clotTrts broke away from rhe sun, and though the glass was ot feeble power, the well-defined dark spot was distincMfeseen through it. The instrument itself was ejjfciated to seconds with micrometer readings liile the sun was in transit, observations right ascen sion and declination oWR “spot” -were made with the hope of reporting them the next day, and thence deducing its motions during the in terval. A thickly clouded sky all of Thursday and so far of Friday—lo A. M.—with every prospect of continuance, has not permitted this hope to be realized. Most olthe afternoon of Wednesday the sun was obscured, or hut dimly seen through mass es of intervening clouds. It, however, set in a clear and narrow streak of reddish sky, which was soon covered up by abankot clouds lOdeg. high Above this mass and upwards the sky was for the most part clear; and the evening was not favorable tor the appearance ol a “zodiacal light,” the clear sky was watched with vigor but confident expectation of again seeing the beauti ful phenomenon, which had excited our admira tion and wonder for the two evenings previous. Accordingly at 5 h. 14m, siderial time and much to the delight of all present, this beautiful streak of light was dimly seen. In twenty minutes af terwards it was most distinct, spanning thesouth western sky with a faint nebulous arch, that reached away beyond Sirus to the east, and rest on Eysilon in the Great Dog. It measured 85 deg, in length above the horrizon, far below which it seemed to extend. At 6h. ait in., just thirty minutes from its first appearance, this mag nificent spectacle was lost in the gatheringclouds. The next morning, observations in the east were again renewed as before, but without dis covering any traces of nucleus, tail, or zodiacal light. The' sky lias remained completely evercast up to the hour of writing, and no opportunity has occurred for repealing the observations, by which the motions (it any) ol the spot over the sun’s disc might be approximated. Snch, up to the present time, is the history, ami such has been the appearance of this phen omenon, as observed here. The return of clear weather, and the accounts ol'othet observersale anxiously looked tor. So far, my own obser vations are not sufficient to enable me to hazard more than a mere conjecture, much less would they justify any positive assertion, as to whether this be the tail of a comet or not. If it be a comet, the probabilities are that it is receding from the sun, and will soon again be lost to us. M. F. MAURY, Lt. U. S. Navy. Correspondence of the Picayune. Nassau, (N. P.,) Feb. 18,1843. AJ.ss/s. Editors: —By this, the first opportuni ty, 1 hasten to inform you of another marine accident which occurred within the last tew days. The ship “Algonquin,” Christianson, mas ter, from Mobile, bound to Liverpool, with a cargo of 1,350 bales of cotton, was stranded on Beak’s Key, Bahama Banks, on the morning ol the Ist inst., at about 2 o’clock. I cannot in form you yet what portion ofthe cargo is saved —there have been, thus far, about 800 or 900 bales of cotton brought in by the w reckers, and some part of the ship’s materials. If, howev er. tiie remainder was not saved previous to the 15th, 1 doubt much if it will be saved at all, for we have had. a strong north-wester blowing since that time—in fact almost a gale. Yours, &c. P. A Good Shot— At a Distance.— A boasting character out West recently rejoiced in the rep utation of being a good shot, but on being chal lenged he ran away, and it was found that he was only a good shot at a distance. This re minds us of an old story of much more point and humour. A well-known little Irish law yer, famous for impassioned eloquence and sar castic power, got challenged once by an irrita ble witness, who took offence at some sharp cross-questioning in court. The orator knew precisely as much about fighting as a fancy box er knows about Milton s “Paradise Lost.” His friends told him. however, that there was no way to avoid the scrape, and it was certainly expected from him either to fight or apologise. This settled the point; for the proud little Hiber nian, though he would rather eat than fight, still infinitely preferred being shot to making an apology. So the two duellists, with their se conds, &c., were soon upon the battle ground. The challenger «as notorious as a great pistol shot, and had fought some halt-dozen duels be fore, in one of which he was so badly wounded as to be left a cripple lor life. When other preliminaries arranged, he requested through his second one favor from his adversary, which was—permission lo stand against a mile-stone that was on the chosen ground. He sought no advantage, but wished to lean upon the stone, being too latne to stand erect without support. His request was at once granted, and just as the word was about to be given, the little lawyer issued his mandate to stay proceedings, as he also hail a request to make. In the gravest manner in the world he solici ted permission to lean against /«•? ne.ct mile stone! and the joke was so good that the challen ger took his revenge out in a hearty roar ot laughter, withdrawing his deadly defiance, and declaring he could never shoot a man ot such excellent humour. The opponents shook hands and were ever after close friends, while the bar rister rejoiced in the quizzical renown of being a good shot— at a distance! OBarque Levant, Capt. Hall, arrived at the Breakwater in Delaware Bay vn Sunday . The hull, as far as could be seen, was cwnpletehj en cased in solid ice, to the thickness of some four or jive feet. Several of the hands are said to be badly frost-bitten. The L. is from the West' Indies. Correspondence of the Tropic. Cotton Culture in India. NUMBER six. 71) the Editors of the Tropic: Having given, briefly and geneially, an ac-‘ count of the origin, progress and results of the Cotton Experiment in India, and stated the lead ing causes that led to its signal failure, I will now proceed, in the same brief manner, to a consideration of some few of the features of the Anglo-Indian Government, that bear direct ly on the present subject, and which, in the ab sence of the causes already mentioned, would be sufficient to prostrate the very ends the Gov ernment had in view. No country, under tbe influence of an excessively' tyrannical govern ment, has ever been remarkable for the flour ishing condition of its agricultural interests.— The independence inseparable from the life a farmer leads, engenders and nourishes a spirit at all times hostile to oppression; and when it has not, in unrestrained freedom, a full exercise of all its energies, it recoils within a circumscri bed sphere, and wars by passive resistance, which too often brings blight upon the country, and ruin upon the hated taskmasters. The ef fects of compulsory measures, when even indi rectly applied to men even nominally free, for the purpose of forcing labor, are very different from the effects of similar measures applied to men in absolute bondage. Men who are not absolutely harnessed in slavery, feel keenly the pangs of insulted nature, and swell with indig nant pride at the “proud man’s contumely.”— Give to man the responsibilities of freedom, and his actions, be the sphere ever so small, will strictly comport with his condition. The view I will take of this subject in the present paper, will not be based upon the effect the cause that will be enumerated have had on the present experiment, but on facts that have come under my observation, and which appear to me no less inimical, not only to the introduc tion ot an improved sy stem of agriculture, but to the introduction of improvements of every kind, than the causes already mentioned. The cotton experiment did not go far enough to feel the withyring influence of the government. So tar as it did go, it received a liberal and foster ing assistance; but it was arrested in its incip ience, by causes beyond the control of human power, and died in'infancy'. It is only when the experiment would have been successfully' consummated and being taken up by the ma jority of the ryots, and in the full tide of pros perity, that the rough checks and onerous impo sitions of government would have been felt, and the consequent ruinous effects have ensued.— The government is not prepared tor such a re form in its whole policy, as would be necessary to sustain and encourage a liberal introduction of improvements. Innovations ot all kinds are expensive, and when made in any sphere of in dustry, old implements and old practices must be laid aside, and new ones purchased and a dopted, which, in the case ol the Hindoos, are both beyond their means and repugnant to their inclinations. The motto of the Anglo-Indian Government has ever been—“ Revenue.” To realize the largest possible revenue appears ev er to have been the engrossing feature of poli cy. To accomplish this end, means of every character have appeared justifiable, and the country is now so drained as to stagger from exhaustion. The magnitude and importanse of the East India Company is commensurate with its wealth, and the apparatus of govern ment, and the machinery of war, have become so burthensome and extended as to require eve ry’rupee of revenue, and to render any relaxa tion in the rigor of taxation impracticable.— These facts are more apparent and startling to the local authorities in India, than to the Court of Directors, which is the cause of the indiffer ence and almost aversion of the former to the scheme. There is not a government on earth, concern ing which so much has been written and so lit tle is known, as the Anglo-Indian. Until with in a lew years past, the Government of India and the condition of the people, have been as hermetically sealed to the rest of the world as walled China. Even to this day, few have ven tured to write candidly and truthfully. The majority of the books on this subject, have been written by' Englishmen, and not unfrequently by Cockneys, who have never stepped beyond the limits of a Presidency, and the warm’ and genial influence of fheir Courts. So far as my experience goes, (and my intercourse with the people was necessarily of so familiar a charac ter, as to give me every advantage in forming correct opinions.) by far the majority of these works stand but poorly the test of scru tiny, and comport but gracelessly with the fair truth. The common sense of every' man, who is at all observant of passing events, or conversant in history-, knows that when a tyrannical govern ment has an interest to represent, and that rep resentation is ex parte, it will favor the interest. The recent discussions in the Parliament of Great Britain, show the difficulty, even those who have a right tojjnow, find in attempting to ascertain the secret motives that prompt the Government to action—how much more diffi cult, I hen, will it prove to those who have no right to know, save the right which every one has to see and hear, and to write what he sees and hears, and the laudable desire to expose the abominations of a tyrannical government to ar rive at any correct information concerning meas ures ot government, particularly when aTtnowl edge of those measures will be prejudicial to its interests. It is a well known fact, that until very lately, mutual oaths of secrecy were administered be tween the Governors, their Councils, and Sec retaries, binding them to secrecy with the most awfuldenunciationsinca.se of infidelity. The infernal mysticisms of sell-immolating, and hu man-sacrificing Hindoo idolatry, were scarce more dire and destructive ofthe true ends of hu man society, than the hidden operations of the early Anglo-Indian rule. The Hindoos, who have for years been the patient sufferers of these accumulated wrongs, are not, catmd be ignorant of. or insensible to the excesses of which they are the victims. But the severing influence and inveteracy of their castes, have prevented the union necessary to burst their tetters—jand their universal ignorance, and want of means, have been the insuperable obstacles to an appeal to the opinion of nations. Each man appears to have contented himself with casting in the scale his individual opposition, which consists in dis simulations and the most demoralising intrigues to thwart and deceive the revenue officers.—So far from attaching any turpitude to prevarica tion, tire Hindoos consider it a legitimate fea ture of trade. Our first going amongst the Hin doos was regarded by them with the greatest suspicion; every step was closely observed and scrutinized. We were at first looked upon as revenue officers, and lhe instruments of some new and more efficient scheme of taxation; they thought our attention was to ascertain wiiat amount ot produce their lands could yield, which is a secret they keep closely' from the Government. The old Brahmins resisted with all the influence of their holy' vocations—they spoke of famines, and whispered ofthe anger of their Gods; and as the rains were a little irreg ular in the first part ofthe season, it was looked upon as an evident sign of divine displeasure, and all because the Company were going to plant Cotton. In no country is Government patronage more influential and pcstiletdialihan in India. " Favor is the breeze that watts to fortune. Not only do the winning allurements of place, distinction and wealth, lull men into an acquiescence, and often lead them to praise measures which their judgments condemn and denounce, but the stem displeasure of Government which meets a dis senting voice, coerces to an approval or imposes silence. Many Europeans, and some natives of talent and ability, have written on the subject of India, and in their wor ks much genuine in formation is to be found as to the early history ofthe people, their religion, language and litera ture, and the geological features and resources of the country; but as to the Anglo-Indian Gov ernment, and the condition of the people under it, the advocates of truth have forgotten the cries ol humanity and maintained a discreet silence, whilst, others of easy conscience, basking in the sunshine of Government favor and looking to it for sunshine, have given, in the soft and smooth strains of sycophancy to all they have written, colorings false and flattering. In the list of writers on India there tire found, however, some few noble exceptions. For the sake ot those who may wish to look farther into the sub ject, 1 will mention Bishop Heber and Sir John Frederick Shore, men above prejudice, and too pure lor corruption. The works of these two great men are considered, in India, as heretical, and are consequently rarely seen. Notwithstanding all thatlqts been said of tbe excellency oftheAnglo-Indian Govenuneiiqand of its boasted superiority over all the native governments, (which, by the way, is a sony boast sot a nation whose very atmosphere is freedom, which stands the very head and front of civilization,) no people in the world are more disaffected than its Indian subjects, and certain ly none have more cause to be so. The East India Company presents one of the most astoun ding anomalies in the history of Governments an imperiumia <7/q' ei >—governizing the aflairs and wielding and giving point to the destinies of more than one hundred millions of people, in which they have not the remotest participation. —Not, an office of trust, civil and military political, has ever been confided to a native, which of itseli atiords one of the mostcouvin cing proofs ofthe uujtistness and tyrannj' of its rule. Is it astonishing, then, that the people are disaffected, and averse to a co-ojteralion with the Government! But all has not been told. With the establishment of a novel and obnoxious Government, a strange, oppressive and compli cated system of laws was imported into lhe country and forced upon the people; these laws were and are administered by the minions of Government, who have no community or fel lowship of feeling with the j.eople—who go amongst them with the avowed purpose ot ac cumulating a fortune, and of returning to their homes so soon as their unholy purpose is ac complished. All judicial proceedings are car ried on in the Persian language, which is for eign and unknow to the mass, and that mass of the people, too, who have the most need of the wholesome remedies of the law s. I mention thase facts, not with a view to af ford any satisfactory information ofthe general system of the Anglo-Indian Government, which would be fa ‘•ey.n I the limits of toy ; iii'pw, but as in. io < ily i. v..m io ',ie main point un der consideration, showing that tiie Hindoos are, and have a cause to be disaffected; and being disaffected, are averse to the adoption of any im provement or innovation chat is presented to them under the recommendation of the East India Company. W. Sale of a W lie In France. A letter f rom Poitiers states that a curious tr i al is to take place there shortly, in consequence of the husband of a woman, of the arrondisse ment of Niort, having sold his wife to a neigh bor fori lOf. and live sheep. The money and the sheep were duly delivered; but when the purchaser went tor his new acquisition, he found that she had taken to flight and gone home io her friends. A clause in the agreement impos es a penalty of 100 francs for each day that the sale remains uncompleted, and for this the ac tion is to be brought. Foreign Coin Legalized by Congress. Previous to the adjournment of Congress, an act was passed, which renders legal a tender ol money in the gold coins of France or England. The coin ol France is to be of not less than eight hundred and ninety nine thousandths in fineness, at ninety two cents and nine-tenths of a cent per penny weight—that of England not less'than nine hundred and fifteen and a half in fineness, at ninety four cents and six-tenths ofa cent per penny weight. Silver coins w ere like wise legalized, as thd Sj ani.-h pillar dollars; and the dollars of Mexico, Pern, and Bolivia, of not less than eight hundred and ninety-seven thous andths in linencs;., and tom hundred and fifteen grains in weight, at one hundred cents each. Also, five Franc pieces of France, of not less than nine hundred thousandths in fineness, and three hundred and .eighty-four grains in weight, at ninety three cents each. - m. The Laie Rejections. Of’ THE ' SENATOR'S TYI.RH AND WSUSTEh! The public have been informed that Messrs. Wise and Cushing intend to return immediate ly' to their respective districts, and become can didates again lor Congress. It is natural that they should be anxious to appeal to their con stituents alter the judgment just pronounced up on them by the Senate of the United States; and it their motto w ere “a fair field and no favor!” they' migiit pass to the trial without a single word from Us. But we ate assured from an au thentic source that, not only are the whole pow - er and patronage of the Administration to be wielded in their favor, but the most strenuous exertions are to be made by all who are in the pay of Government to get up such a breeze a bout their rejection as may be felt in ail tbe Congressional districts of Massachusetts and Virginia,—not atone in those of Newburyport and Accomac. The President makes their cause a personal mallei; and all theoiiice hold ers w'ill be required to do the same. War is to be made upon the Senate. The Whigs of that body, especially, aie tube charged with partisan and tactions motives; and every means is to be employed to excite popular sympathy in behalf of tne rejected nominees, as the victims of a secret and irresponsible despotism— “an os tracism (to use. the language of the Madison ian) founded on the meaner feelings of our na ture.” The Government Official Organ has already begun the wore, in an elaborate article imputing the conduct of the Senate to party zeal, vindic tiveness, and disappointed ambition; and con cluding with tbe following modest requisition: “The persons, who have prevented, by the ex ercise of an authority of such temporary dura tion t/rz’ louiplelwn (as we verily’ believe) of the popular Kill (!) owe it to the people and to them selves to explain the grounds on which nomina tions personally unexceptionable have been re jected.’. Now’ we shall prove to the official bv an au thority which so supple a courtier will hardly venture to question—namely, that of President Tyler himself—that the Senate on Friday night only performed its duty—that by the acts which have excited so much indignation, the rights of no other branch or the Government were imrin ged or impaired—and that the Madisonian’s de mand for reasons is “presumptuous.” On Deceffiber 17th, 1833, President Jackson nominated to the Senate five gentlemen as Gov ernment Directors of the Bank of tire United States lor the year 1834. One (Mr. Bayard) was confirmed: all the others were rejected on the 27th ot February following. He renomina ted them on March 11th, in a message setting forth his reasons at great length. On Thursday May Ist, the Committee of Finance made a re port on the message by the hands ot John Tyler. Mr. Webster was a member of the Committee, and probably wrote the report, although Mr. Tyler fathered it; Hear what he says: “The Senate claims no authority to control the President in his nominations; but it cannot surrender the exercise of its own right of deci ding for itself on the propriety of advising and consenting to appointments to office. It cannot deprive itself of its own powers. It cannot sur render ilslnen consliMiittutl rharader. It cannot through apprehen.-ion of any’ consequences whatever, lorbear from exercising its high duty of giving or refusing its advice and consent to nominations of the "president in all cases, ac cording to its conscientious sense of its men obli gations to the constitution ami the country.” We beg the official to ponder on this, ” hich we regard as equally sound and important; and to remember that the follow ing response to a call for reasons was given by Senator Tyler: “It must be obvious that from the constitution of the Senate, from the manner of its proceed ings, from the manner of its proceedings, fr om lhe absolute right of every member to vote tor or against particular nominations for reasons of his oir.n,\v\wt\\ev others concur with tiio-e r ea sons or nor, the gtounds ofthe votesof individ ual membets can nevti be set forth, nor authen tically known.” ‘The precise character ot the objections taken by each and every incml er of this majority or even their general character, it would be viiEsi.MTi'ous to attempt to ascertain.” It is enough that lhe Senate, in tiie exercise ofau unquestionable constitutional right, has refused its advice and consent to the nominations.” And then, as to the arbitrary imputations ol the Madisonian, hear again what the President said, when as a Senator he was assailed in a similar manner for his rejection ol sei vile favor ites ; “The Senate, not being bound togivereasons for its vote in these cases, is not bound nor would it be proper togi ve any answer to remarks found ed on the presumption of what such reasons must have been in the present ease." These views are so ouvious that we would leel bound to apologize to our readers for repeat ing them, were it not for the systematic efforts now made to present the Senate as having acted in a ruthless and factious manner. We du not choose to set lot tir lltc reasons widen, we con ceive, may have prompted the action of the Sen ate: and which induced us heartily to approve it. They are apart from the presentquestion;—lot, it is to be presumed that the Senate makes the same inquiries which the President ought to make in regard b> every person nominated—“ls he fit for the office ! Is lie actuated by correct views and motives ! Is he likely to be influenc ed by those considerations alone which should govern him in the discharge of his duties?” and that its decision is governed accordingly. We now call public attention to the fact that in the report from which e have quoted, Sena tor Tyler and Senator Vv'ebster took the strongest ground against lhe hhxominatiox of persons once rejected by the Senate.’ They told President Jacksbn that the rotes were well calculated to satisfy him that lhe Senate entertained decisive objections to the contii illation of those jiersuns. Was not this lire case also in regard to Messrs. Wise and Cu ' ..at ute.f tv.utouue ;.i:i not prove uecistvc objections, what wuulut They told President Jackson, thatduring the ad ministrations of W ashington, Jefferson (and the elder idams, there was not a single instance of renomination; although their nominations were sometimes rejected. They dwelt particularly on the case of Col. Fishbum, a gallant officer of the Revolution, who was nominated by Gen. Wash ington as Collector at Savannah and rejected. Although the General was obviously mortified, the nomination having been made upon his own personal knowledge ofthe individual, he sent in the name ot another. What a contrast was this conduct ofthe Father of his Country to the angry and undignified behavior of President Tyler, renominating the same persons over and over again! W hat are we to think of the renom inalion a third time—a measure entirely unpre cedented—and that too without the assignment of any reason- , as the Senate had decided delib erately twice to withhold its assent.! The whole course ofthe Chief Magistrate on this occasion deserves the severest reprobation, and as wc have shown, is condemned by his own recorded opinions and those ofthe Secretary of State. They rebuked Gen. Jackson for having intimated that he would not send to the Senate lhe names of any other persons to be directors ofthe Bank except those who had been rejected. Yet Mr. Tyler refused to .-endinthenameofany person for France except Mr. Wise; anddeclar ed that he would not send another in the place iff'Mr. Spencer, were he rejected.' We main tain now that rfr.-is responsible, and he alone, for the vacancy at Paris; and would have been had the Treasury been left without a Secretary. What was his own language in 1834, against General Jackson? “If these offices remain unfilled, it will not be the fault of the Senate. Their power of with holding their assent from the President's nomi ations is not altogether vain and nugatory. It was given them by the Constitution to be exer cised in proper cases, and |in their own discre tion. The Senate has only done its duty; and having done this honestly and conscientiously, it cannot fear any consequences.” The public may thus see how senseless is the outer}- against the Senate; and how unworthy an exhibition the Executivelmade of himself when he persisted in pressing his nominees upon that body. Let the facts go forth to the people of Virginia and Massachusetts, and then let Messrs Cushing and Wise make their personal griefs elements in the general contest, if they think political capital can be made out ot it.

The Secretary of State keeps his own counsel (if, indeed, he has yet made up his mind,) and thereby baffles the curious, and also exceeding perplexes some whose aspirations cannot be gratified until he relinquishes his present post.

Advantage was taken of the clear sky this morning i. examine the disc of the sun for the -pot wincli so tfitreb attracted 'Our attention and excited ou > speculations a lew days ago. It was gone! ft" sequent observations may enable us ki , e.coi... c ..uc.lier Oi Uol this spot was tile nebula of u comet. The wind was high and the sun unobscured after 10 A. M., and, though the day was very unfavorable lor observations, search for the comet was diligently renewed. It could not be seen. From sunset till the stars came out, our tele scopes were intently pointed to the western sky, with the hope of catching at least a glimpse of the comet through the lading twilight. But we were compelled to content ourselves with admi ring the wonderful beauty and grandeur of its train, the first traces of which were seen at 6h. 2m. sidereal time. At 6h. 28m. its greatest breadth was 1 deg. 40m., as neatly as could be ascertained, for the bright moonlight rendered the measuiement imperfect. The curve, before described, was again seen this evening, and in the same position, but much more indistinctly. At ten minutes alter 9 o’clock, Ihe tail had not gone down, but had gradually faded away in the haze of the west. Comparing by my own observation with the accounts which have already reached us from different parts of the country, there appears now to be but little doubt but that this is the tail of a Comet, and that the head itself has been seen at mid-day in the East with the naked eye. If so, for length of tail and magnitude of nebula, it may be classed among the most remarkable that have ever appeared. In the year 43, B. C., historians tell us of a hairy starthat was seen by day-light, in the year A. D. 1402, two Com ets were seen in bread day, and the tail of one of them at noon. Tycho Brahe discovered a Comet by daylight in 1577. The Comet of 1744 could be seen in the day time without the aid of glasses. Its tail, though not so long as this, was curved, and formed an arc of 90 deg.; though, for a part of the time, it had several tails, the length of which varied from 30 deg. to 40 deg. The Comet of 1680—the most celebra ted ot modem times—had a tail computed at from 70deg. to 90 deg. That of 1618 had the largest tail on record —104 deg.; anil this vies with that in length. “The tail,” says Vince, in his Astronomy, “in creases as the Comet approaches its perihelion; immediately alter which it is longest and mo.-t luminous, and then it is a little bent and convex towards those parts to which the Comet is mov ing; the tail then decreases.” If this Comet has obeyed this, rule it has already doubled the sun, and is now on its way back, to be asain lost in the regions of space.

A tailorin Dublin, near the residence of the Dean, took into the “ninth part” ol his head that he was specially and divinely inspired to inter pret the prophecies, and especially lhe book of Revelations. Quitting the shop-board, he turn ed out a preacher, or rather a prophet, until his custonieis had left his shop, and his latnilj' were likely to famish.—His monomania was well known to Dean Swift, who benevolently watched for some opportunity to tmn tiie current of his thoughts. One night, the tailor, as he fancied, gut especial revelation to go and convert Dean Swift, and next morning took up the line of march to tbe deanery. The Dean, whose study was furnished with a glass door, saw the tailor approach and instantly surmised the nature of his errand. Throwing himself into an attitude of solemnity and thoughtfulness, with the Bible opened before him, and bis eyes fixed on the 10th chapter of Revelation, he awaited his approach. The door opened, and the tailor announced in an unearthly voice— “ Dean Swift, lam sent by the Almighty to announce to you”— “Come in, my friend,” -aid the Dean, “lam in great trouble, and no doubt the Lord has sent you to help me out ot the difficulty.” This um xfieeted welcome inspired the tailor, and strengthened greatly his assurance in his own prophetic character, and disposed him to listen to the disclosure. “My friend,’’ said the Dean, “I have just been reading the 16th chapter ot Revelation, and am greatly distressed a: a difficulty 1 have met with ; and you are the very man to help me out. Here is an account ofau angel that came down from heaven, who was so laige that he placed one foot on the sea and the other on the earth, and lifted up his hands to heaven. Now, my knowledge of the mathematics,” continued the Dean, “hasenabled me to calculate exactly lhe size and form ofthis angel; but lamina great difficulty, for I wish to know how much cloth ft will take to make him a pair of breeches ; and as that is exactly in your line of business, I hare no doubt the Lord has sent you to show me.” This expostulation came like an electric shock to the poor tailor I He rushed from the house, ran to his shop, and a sudden revulsion of thought and ieelingcameoverhim. Making breeches was exactly in his line of business:. He returned ohis occupation, thoroughly cured of his proplietical revelation by the wit of the Dean. I-, .... .1 a, ■fit;: oi.d mwn ci.xti.eman.

The Modern Sorceress ; OR, TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION. The criminal records ot Spain ever and anon present cases, which prove that the revengeful spirit, long held peculiar to the people of that country and some other parts ol southern Eu rope, still exists among them in almost undi minished force. Circumstances, indeed, have prevented the peaceful spread of education in these quarters, and we could rationally look for improvement from no other source. ’ A Sara gossa paper describes the following appalling case as having been heard before the magisteri al tribunal of the city, onthe 4th of January last. We give the narrative here, as translated into the French journals. Upon the flowery borders of Ebro, near the city of Saragossa, there lived, within these lew months, a woman named Calakena. She call ed herself sixty years of age, and appealed not to be young; but notwithstanding any tokens ot age discernable on her countenance, it Was still evident that she had been remarkable for beau ty. Calakena had dwelt in her cabin on the Ebro lor many years; she lived alone, ami, like the owl, only issued, lot the most part, by night. She carried continually in her hand a long black staff or wand, and her dress was a gown com posed of stutis of various kinds, and o! differ ent colors, place! together. Throughout the whole district—at Saragossa, Tarrag. na, an I Huenca, from the gar.iett plains of Navarre even to the far south—she was known, and re puted a redoubtable sorceress; and all devout Spaniards crossed themselves and muttered a prayer at her approach, or in passing her resi dence. This very tear indicated the extept ot tiie popular beliet in her power; and hundreds came, even from great distances, to avail them selves of that power, in order to get a glance into the future, or to further worse proposes. It was no uncommon thing to find even carriages at the door ofthe sorceress's cabin when the shades of evening had fallen in. Those who remembered the arrival ot Cala kena in the neighborhood ol' Saragossa, said that -he had then appeared young and exceed ingly beautiful, though thetracesol some gnaw ing grief were visible in her look and deport ment. She herself had said at that time that she came from Madrid, and that she desired to pass the rest of her lite in peace, at a distance troin the gay wot Id. Excepting as respected the occupations: which het character drew upon her, and which she did not dislike, or at least did not avoid, Calakena really passed her days in quiet. During the civil war, indeed, consul tations multiplied upon her. She read horo scopes to the chiefs of the Christines, and to the soldiers of the army of Cabrera. All parties treated her with respect for her mystical charac ter, and she could pass from place to place, a mong their wildest ranks, without a shadow of injury. Such was the sorceress Calakena. One evening in December, (1840), an equip age stopped before the cabin of Calakena. A lady stepped out of it. She was a young crea ture of exquisite beauty, with cheeks colored like lhe pomegranate, and long tresses, dark as ebony. “My dear mother,” said the visitant to the re puted sorceress, slipping at the same time a du cat of gold iruo her hand, “I am about to be married, and I come to know if ray fortune is to be a happy one.” “From what place does your intended hus band come?” askedCalakena. “From Venice, mother,” was the reply. “Venice!” cried the sorceress, with kindling eyes, “Venice!—and his name?” “Giacomo Salvadi," answered the visitor. The Sybil bounded from her seat in a state ot seemingly irrepressible excitement, with which was mingled an appearance ot wild joy. After a pause, she said, with a little more calmness, “He loves you, does he?” “Yes, mother,” returned the young lady. “He calls you his angel, his divinity, the liv ing -tin of his life!” “Yes, my good mother ” “He passes days at your leel in gazing upon j our eyes, and the night he passes under your windows?” , “Yes, often, my good mother; you speak tiie exact truth,” said the visitant. “And then he sings to you,” said t’ e sorcer ess; “he sings to you such words as these— The ruby and the opal stone, The diamond with its kindling dyes, The star of morn, so brightly lone,' Have not the cliarm ot thy sweet eyes. One tells us of the coming aim, And gems their owner’s wealth may prove, Rut thy sweet eyes, beloved one, 1 hey »peuk Un t ' i <s Oh, mother!” cried the young visitor to the sorceress, “your power is astonishing. He does sing these very words to me!” “You see that everything is known to me,” answered Calakena, “and you will be the better prepared to follow my counsels, in order that your marriage may be happy, it is necessary that you should send your intended bridegroom to me. On his firmness and courage, under the proofs to which 1 shall subject him, depends your future welfare.” The young lady, Donna Isabella, was de lighted with this answer to her application.— Seeing the extent of the sorceress’s knowledge in one respect, she had no doubt but the latter could ensure her wedded happiness, or at least, ward oft any impending evils by a timely wattl ing. “if our happiness depend on the firmness and courage of Giacomo, we must be happy, tor he is brave as the Cid.’’ “Go, then,” answered Calakena, “an! tell him to come hither to-morrow evening. But you also must come, and before him.” “Why before him, mother.'” asked lhe vi-it- “Eee.iuse il i ■ essential to the proof lo which he must be put,” said the fortune-teller; “and above all, it is requisite that he should not be aware of your coming hither. The charm would be rendered of no avail by his knowledge of your presence.” The lady I: atelia entered her equipage, and went home in all haste. She strictly obeyed the instructions of Calakena, telling Giacomo only so much of what had passed as the sorcer ess desired. To please his lair young mistress, Salvadi readily consented to visit the cabin ot' Calakena. At the time appointed, he went thit’icr aecot d i ugly. On the following morning, Giacomo Salvadi stooii as a prisoner before tiie chief magistrate of Saragossa, in the presence of an eager and whispering crowd. The hands of Salvadi were tied bei.iml his back. On the court table, in front of the bench of justice, there lay some linen and portions of female attire, stained deeply with blood. In a glass beside them was a portion of the same fluid. The alcade mayor first broke silence, by ad dressing the accused, “Giaeotno Salvadi,” said the magistrate, “you are charged with the assassination of Donna Isabella, your own be trothed bride. Have you any defence to offer, or explanation to give!” “Yes, sir,” replied the accused, in low but firm tones. “Speak then,’ said the alcad.; “and may Hea ven eiud.k' you to justify yourself and clear up this dreit l'ul transaction!” Tire Accused commenced by a statement of what iia- aticady been detailed here, describing Donna i: della’., visit to the sorceress, and the conseqn, ■ I request made to hiruselt that he also shoulc t ■'i hil ikeH i’s enMt). “I went thith er,’ co., uue . tire ucc i-eJ, “and, us directed, nearly:. ■. c ft.it; <1 midnight.

But in the first place, let me ask if you have a firm bold heart?’ ‘1 think I have,’ was my reply ‘Then let us hence,’ answered the sorceress; and desiring me to follow closely, she walked away from the cabin. The night was rather dark, the light of the moon being but feeble. We walked on without stopping, for nearly a quarter cl an hour, until we reacned the court of the church of Pilar. Calakena here«uade me enter into a low and dimly-lighted chamber. All that I could see in it was a table with a black cloth upon it, concealing something. An emp- U’ glass and a poinard stood cn another table or shelf. ’Giacomo!* said the sorceress, in a low but emphatic voice, ‘it you would be happy, strike that poinard through this cloth!’ “I hesitated. “1 know not,” said I, “if I ought to uo such a thing without knowing—” “Coward I” muttered Calakena, “you would command destiuv, and yet your arm trembles at such a petty trial!” “Thinking that, at the most, this trial could only be a foolish and fruitless piece of mumme ry, I became ashamed of my weakness, and lift ing the poinard, struck it into the middle of the black cloth. Horrible to relate, blood immedi ately burst in a stream through the aperture made by the weapon ; in one instant after the stroke was struck, and before I could tecover from the shock consequent upon its results, Calakena, who had the glass in her hand, dart ed forward, and caught some drops ot the flow ing blood intb it. “To thy health, Giacomo Salvadi!” cried she, with the voice ol a triumphant demon, as she raised the glass to her lips; “it is Marian etta who drinks to thee!” “In the sorceress 1 now recognized a woman, with whom I had been acquainted many t ears before, and who, when 1 had left her, had sworn hitter vengeance against me.—But 1 had no time to attend to her, for ere her frantic word were uttered, quick as tier proceedings were, the black eloili trad been cast off, and 1 round a wo man on tiie table, uttering her dying moans— The mc .ning of the sorceress w;:s naw made but too clear to me. The victim wa- my be trothed bride, Isabella! From her simple lips, Calakena had leatned my name and my inten tion of marriage, an I bad profited by Isabeila - belief in her magical powe s to bling her to thi retired place, and to deli ver het ov. t to the kt.il with v< hto 1. he had armed me. 1 his is the truth,” saul Giccomo in conrlti oli. I ~,11 cm o. this murderas tbWhew-liorn child. Several u ituesM* came forward alien Giaco mo had concluded, and testified to several points in his favor. While Giacomo hung in agony over his bleeding bride, the sorceress had lied and some ofthe witnesses had Neel | ] ie r passing with speed from the neighborhood. Isabella" too, had lived long enough to explain the whole transaction, as tar as she knew of it. n er dy ing declarations went to substantiate all that had been related by Salvadi. In consequence ofthe production of these proofs in his tavor, Giacomo was. finally acquitted of the crime’ with the consent ofall acquainted with lhe case’ The sorceress Calakena has been sought for, but has not as yet been heard of. From Giaco mo and others, it has been learned that she was a woman not more than thirty-live years old, and must have assumed the appearance of age in order the more effectually to impose on the public, and prosecute the profession to which 'he had applied herself. On her cabin being examined, a number of coloring substances were found, by means of which she had given herself the hue and look of old age. The length of time during which she had nursed the senti ment of revenge, shows a violence of passions scarcely credible without such proofs as those given. It appears even but too probable that she had assumed the character of a sorceress at first, in lhe hope that she would better attain her desired object, and that her plan of revenge had lieen tong mature !. But for the lamentable and ignorant credulity, however, of her victims, her murderous purposes might have been frustrated. Halt o! the calamities of mankind come in the train of superstition. AUGUSTA MARKET. Wednesday Evening, March 15. Ct,{ton The same quiet elate thaf we have reported for the pan fortnight, still exists in our Cotton market. Buyers still hold ofi awaiting the Great Western ac counts, and tho sellers do not offer any that they are not forced to sell. Our stockdoea not increase much, as our farmers seem to hold back until operation* re commence. Some tew sales are daily made, and we quote 4 (ri) G cent, 0 > extremes ofthe market. Dty (iooth. Hardwire, SKupr, gv,—Our wholesale dcaleas-xem busy, both in receiving their spring sup plies and ;n selling to a number of country merchants, who have been in the market during the past week. Siteftns.— Recent airival* have much increased the stock in om market, and caused considerable sales amongst our wholesale dealers to the trade. B ■ ow, Considerable quantities ot this article are daily received, and sold from waggons at 5 (a) s|c ; and I. M rd at 6 (a) 7c. About SY) pounds Live Gee>e feathers were sold at 22c. Four.—The receipts of Canal and Western Flour have been quite heavy ; and Canal commands by the quantity, and retails at •S> /L About 6000 bushels were sold from the wharf ata fraction over 30 cent* : retail price 50 cents. Exchange on New* York, ('harleston, and Savannah, continues dull at par. Out door sales are made at some discount. Central Bank notes are in de mand at 27 cent discount—large amounts are offered at 25 without buyers. Alabama Bank notes cannot be sold under <0 ct discount. We known of no sale of 6 cent Bonds, but think 50 cents might be obtained for them. The late notice of the Governor as regards the coupons seems to have suspended operations in them. The bills of the Insurance Bank of Columbus, the Exchange Bank of Brunswick, the Phoenix Bank of Columbus, and the Bank of Hawkinsville, are not taken at tiny rule in our market, as our merchants have but little confidence in their stability.

Cotton— The market ha* been rather quiet to-day.— Holders still further advancing their pretensions, there have been but few purchasers. Sales about 2000 hales, generally at a slight improvement on yesterday’s pri ces, and holders stiff. Erch Sight and short sight checks on N. York were readily obtained to day at 16 cent. 60 day bills arc scarce, the ruling late to day was 14 ct.

The operations of the day weir not large, and the tendency is rather Freip-hts— ln freights we have nothing to report. Adctsrliser. Macon, March 14. Cotton— Owing to the bad weather very little has come in the past week—and sales from warehouses have been light. Transactions in the article will be limited until the receipt of further foreign advices— which are hourly lookedpor. Buyers and speculators need baldly expect prices to be lower than they are—as the crop (according to our estimation) will not exceed two and a halfmiliions of bales, (if it does much over tw'oand a quarter,) which is not more than will be de manded by the increased consumption, magnified as it will be by the low price of the raw material. We make no alteration in our quotations—say 3| lo 5f extremes. New York, March 11. CofltT- We noticed the large sales of Sumatra, (smo key) 3000 bags went off with the exception of a small lot at s|fa) cents. Very little doing at private sale.
