Mr. Webster oh the Presidency.
The Boston Courier of Monday contains the
long-expected litter of Hon. Daniel VebMerlo
Phineas Handerson, Jose P h ,®f a '
Nesmith and about eleven hundred other VV higs
of New-Hampshire, who had written him an elo
quent and highly complimentary request that he
would permit them to present his name to the
Wh“ National Convention at Baltimore as a
Presidency. We have not
candidate isit j on but Mr. Webster’s pa-
S f :MX>nseis as follows:-
Washington, January 3, 1843.
Gfntlsmen— l have received j our letter, re
.inesiins “permission to present my name to the
People as a Candidate for the oflie ot President
of the United States, subject to the future wise,
deliberate action of the Whig National Conven
tion 0f1844.”
It would be disingenuous to withhold an ex
pression ofthe grateful feelings awakened by a
letter, containing such a request, so Very numer
ously signed, and coming from among those
who have known me through life. No one can
be insensible to the distinction of being regarded,
by any respectable n u mber of his tello w-c itizens,
as among those from whom a choice of Presi
dent might be made, with honor and safety to
the country.
The office of President is an office, the impor
tance of which cannot be too highly estimated.
He who fills it necessarily exercises a great in
fluence, not only on all the domestic interests of
the country, on its foreign relations, and thesup
port of its honor and character among the na ;
lions of the earth, but on that, which is ot the
very highest import to the happiness ofthe peo
ple, the maintenance ot the Constitution itsell,
and the prosperous continuance of the govern
ment under it. Our systems are peculiar; and
while capable, as experience has shown, ol pro
ducing the most favorable results, under wise
and cautious administration, they are, neverthe
less, exposed to peculiar dangers. We have
six and twenty states, each possessing within it
sell powers oi government, limited only by the
Constitution ofthe United States; and we have
a general government, to which are confided
high trusts, to be exercised for the benefit ot the
people ot all the States. It is obvious, that this
division of powers, itself the result of a novel
and most delicate political operation, can be
preserved only by the exercise of wisdom and
pure patriotism. The Constitution ofthe United
States stands on the basis of the people’s choice.
It must remain on that basis, so long as it re
mains at all. The veneration and love, which
are entertained for it, will be increased, by every
instance of wise, prudent, impartial and parental
administration. On the other hand, “they will
be diminished by every administration, which
shall cherish local divisions, devote itself to lo
cal interests, seek to bend the influence of the
Government to personal or partisan purposes, or
which shall forget that all patriotism is false and
spurious, which does not look with equal eye to
the interests ofthe whole country, and all its
parts, present and to come. I hardly know what
an American statesman should so much depre
cate, on his own account, as well on account of
his country, as that the Constitution of the
United States, now the glory of our country and
the admiration of the world, should become
weakened in its foundations, perverted in its
principles, or fallen andsunk in a nation’s regard
and a nation’s hopes, by his own follies, errors,
ot mistakes. The Constitution was made for
the good of the country; this the people know. ,
Its faithful administration promotes that good;
this the people know. The people will them
selves defend it against alfforeign power, and all 1
open force; and they will rightfully hold to a
justmnd solemn account, those, to whose hands
they commit it, and in whose hands it shall be ;
found to be shorn of a single beam of its honor .
or deprived of a particle ol its capacity for use
fulness. It was made for an honest people, and 1
they expect it to be honestly administeied. At 1
the present moment, it is an object ot general
respect, confidence and affection. Questions
have arisen, however, and are likely to arise .
again, upon the extent of its powers, or upon the
line which separates the functions ot the General 1
Government from those of the Stale Govern- t
ments; and these questions will require, when
everthey may occur, not only firmness, butmuch
discretion, prudence andimpartiality in the Head
ofthe National Executive. Extreme counsels or 1
extreme opinions on either side, would be very
likely, it followed or adopted, to break up the
well adjusted balance ofthe whole. And he 1
who has the greatest confidence in his own 1
judgment, or the strongest reliance on his own 1
good fortune, may yet be well diffident of his '
ability to discharge the duties of this trust, in £
such a mnnner as shall promote the public pros- '
perity, or advance his own reputation. 1
But, gentlemen, while the office of President J
is quite too high to be sought by personal solici- ■
tation, or for private ends and objects, it is not ‘
to be declined, if proffered by the voluntary de- 1
sire of a free people.
It is now more than thirty years since you and
your fellow-citizens of New-Hampshire, assign- 1
ed me a part in political affairs. My public con
duct, since that period, is known. Myopinions ’
on the great questions, now most interesting to '
the country, are known. The constitutional
principles whichl have endeavored to maintain,
are also known. If tliese principles and these
opinions, now not likely to be materially chan
ged, should recommend me to further marks of
public regard and confidence, I should not with
hold myself from compliance with the general
will. But I have no pretensions of my own to
bring forward, and trust that no friends of mine 1
would at any time use my name for the purpose 1
of preventing harmony among those, whose 1
general political opinions concur, or from any 1
cause whatever, but a conscientious regard to <
the good ofthe country.
It is obvious, gentlemen, that at the present t
moment the tendency of opinion among those <
to be represented in the Convention is generallj- ]
and strongly set in another direction. I think t
it my duty, therefore, under existing circum- (
stances, to request those, who may feel a prefer- ]
ence for me, not to indulge in that preference, t
nor oppose any obstacle to the leading wishes ot >
political friends, or to united and cordial efforts <
for the accomplishment of those wishes.
The election ofthe next autumn must involve,
in general, the same principles and the same ,
questions as belonged to that of 1840. The
Whig cause I conceive to be the true cause of
the country, its permanent prosperity, and all
its great interests; the cause of its peace, and its i
honor; the cause of good government, true lib- '
erty, and the preservation and integrity of the
Constitution, and none should despair ol its suc
cess.
I am, gentlemen,
with sentiments of sincere regard,
your obliged and obedient servant
DANIEL WEBSTER.
To Messrs. John Haven, John P. Lyman, and
others.
From the Charleston Mercury.
Cot. Johnson. —The following note appear
in the Globe of Monday evening. The flexibil
ity ofthe gallant Colonel’s ambition is astonish
ing, his good nature charming and his, naivete
positively bewitching. The chief object of the
publication is to save his friends from getting
too hot on the question whether he shall be
President or Vice President. And surely they
would be very unreasonable to quarrel on that
point, after his amiable assurance that his ac
ceptance of the latter would be just as “ sincere
and cordial” as of the former. Few men have
ever had the high satisfaction of running at once
for the Presidency and the Vice Presidency—
and we doubt much it ever before was found a
politician who could thus see himself as it were
cut in two and yet keep the same bland smile
on each half of his face—who could even con
sent to act as umpire and peacemaker between
his own distracted pretensions, and standing at.
an impartial distance between the Presidential
and Vice Presidential bundles of hay, couldnod
approvingly from the one to the other, assuring
them, with a wink, that he had a fresh appetite
for both, and scarcely knew which he could
munch with the richer gusto—who with so bland
a complacency, could part and raise his coat
tail, and settle himself down from the bisecting
line between the two stools, with a contempt for
old proverbs worthy ofthe best days of chivalry
—but we shall never end if we umtertake to give
expression to all the feelings of surmise and
satislacrion we nave ttenvert from this
letter. Here it is.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Sir From a great number of letters received
by me, from various sections of our country, 1
find a difference of opinion exists as to the ground
I occupy relative to the canvass for the offices of
President and Vice President of the United
States. And I find as great diversity of epinion
among my friends as to the course I should adopt
some advising that, under no circumstances,
should I permit my name to be used for the Vice
Presidency—others advising that I should not
submit my name to the decision of a national
convention; and the most numerous expressing
a wish that I should accept the nomination for
the office of Vice President, provided a majority
ot the delegates to the national convention
should think proper to select me as a candidate
for the Vice Presidency, after prelerring another
for the office of President.
In January, 1842,1 was nominated, at Frank
fort, in Kentucky, for the Presidency, by a mas*
meeting, composed of the democratic members
of the Legislature and citizens ot that State, sub
ject to a decision of the national convention. In
January, 1843, I was nominated for the same
office by a State democratic Convention at
Frankfort, Kentucky, composed of five hundred
delegates, for the same office, subject to the
same condition. Each of these nominations
were unanimous. In January, 1843, the demo
cratic State convention of Indiana called upon
me, in common with others, to know if 1 were
willing to abide by the decision of a national
convention ; and, further, if I would sustain the
nominations of that convention for the offices
of President and Vice President ol the United
States.
My answer to these interrogatories was with
out equivocation; which was, that I would sup
port the nominees. I have no reason to change
that determination; but, on the contrary, have
good reasons for being confirmed in myopinion
as to the necessity’ of adhering to my resolution,
to insure the triumph of the Democratic ratty:
I intend to redeem my pledge faithfully, without
respect to persons.
! Subject to the loregoing conditions, I have
I submitted my name tube placed before the pub
' lie and the national convention to be held at
Baltimore on the fourth Monday of May next,
fn the office ol President. 1 need not consume
time in referring to my nomination for the ollf.ee
of President, by friends in other States than
Kentucky. foio matter how flattering these de
monstrations of public confidence, (all of which
is duly appreciated,) my’ assenting to their « ish
es was not predicated upon the consideration
that 1 was nominated for the first office: my as
sent to their permission of the use of my name
would have been equally as sincere and cordial
for the office ol Vice President.
I am now, as I ever have been, identifier! with
the4lemocratic party. I never expect to change
that identity. The success of the measu res oi
that party are too dear to me to be jeoparded bv
any selfish considerations on my part; and,
therefore, I ask nothing, and expect nothing, at
the hands of the convention, that will in any
manner injure or hazard the success ofthe com
mon cause, if the convention, in their wisdom,
should consider the use of my name lor the first
or second office, or for neither, as advisable, my
acquiescence is heartily given.
To such of nty fellow-citizens as are nomi
nating me for the office of the vice presidency
in advance of the meeting of the Baltimore con
vention, my thanks are due and cheerfully given.
It does not become me to condemn an honest dif
ference of opinion among my friends, or to take
part in favor of the one side against the other in
their friendly efforts to procure iny nomination
for the office of President or Vice President. —.
And as 1 could do nothing, consistent with my
public pledges, in this respect, without giving
dissatisfaction to some of them, the national
convention, where a majority will rule, must
dispose ol me, and decide the controversy be
tween them.
In the meantime, let every one be fully per
suaded in his own mind, and act accordingly;
and no cause of complaint can exist with any,or
against any. 1 wish, of course, to give no cause
ot offence to my friends, whetherlhey prefer me
for the first office or the second. I hope they
will readily yield up tbeir preferences to a ma
jority’ in the convention, no matter how adverse
to their views or wishes. 1 shall pursue this
course, and exhort every friend I have to do
likewise, in order to preserve harmony and se
cute the united effort ofthe party. I repeat, be
tween my friends my position is that of neutral
ity, until the convention shall act and dispose of
me; in the nieantime, lam in the hands of the
people. Should it be the pleasure of the con
vention to nominate me for the first office, I
should accept the honor with gratitude and reluc
tance. 1 should accept of thesecond with thanks
and with pleasure; and am willing to take my
position among the rank and file, if such be the
pleasure of the convention without a murmur.
Wherever I may be placed, I shall try to ani
mate my associates to do what I consider our
duty to our country ; and, having thus discharg
ed it, according to our consciences, we will hope
lor v ictory.

A smal t shock ot an earthquake was felt here
about two o’clock this morning. The buildings
in the vicinity- ofthe Court House square were
most affected by it, where a fissure in the earth
was produced, about half an inch in width, and
extending completely across the square.— Long
Point Adv.
This phenomenon is rather to be attributed
to the severe frosts which have so greatly pre
vailed at the north, we think, than to the ordi
nary’ causes of earthquakes.
Ur 1 Marsh, the man lately convicted in New
Jersey, of murder, for setting fire to a dwelling
house, by the burning ot which a female ofthe
name of Cheddickand her two children lost their
lives, has had a new trial granted to him.
Another new article of American Manufacture.
—The Rochester Democrat says—Nearly every
mail brings intelligence of some new manufac
ture. The “horrid tariff” is working wonders.
At Philadelphia, machinery has been invented
to make Files at a rapid rate, instead of the old
fashioned way, by hand.
The State Treasury.—The Georgia Jour
nal of the 12th Inst says: Up to the first instant,
from the 24th November last, the time the
new Treasurer went into office, there were re
ceived into the Treasury ©130,562 17. On hand
at that time ©IIO,OOO 00—which gives an a
mount of ©240,562 17. Paid out, $180,388
legving a balance of ©60,174, on the first instant.
Payments are now frequently made at the Trea
sury and Central Bankin specie paying bank
bills. This is owing to the scarcity of Central
iponey.
Texan Prisoners in Mexico.—The unfor
tunate Texans, confined in the cold, dreary and
unhealthy Castle of Perote, are rapidly being
released from all earthly troubles—death is lib
erating them from a confinement the most cruel.
We have been permitted to copy the following
extract of a letter from one of the prisoners,
datqd
Perote, Jan. 13, 1844.
Leonidas Sounders, of Montgomery county,
Texas, died last night of the prevailing epidem
ic. Mr. S. was Chief Justice of that county
when he left it, and I will venture to say that
no one can be found in his district more worthy
to fill the office—in short, he was a well inform
ed, amiable gentleman. There are many others
yet sick in the hospital, many of them danger
ously. Yours, &c.
Is there no way—can nothing be done for
these unfortunate men 2 The Mexican Gov
ernment.may have the right to retain, at least a
portion of them, prisoners of war; but it is con
trary to the usages of civilized nations to incar
cerate those, whom the fortunes of war may
have thrown into their hands, in a place where
the climate, combined with scantiness ot rai
ment, must soon bring premature disease and
death.— Picayune.
Cotton.—The New York Correspondent oi
the Pila. U. S. Gazette under date of Friday’
P. M. the9th inst. says:
The advices per Roscius received yesterday
are up to SP. M. ofthe 13th January, the sales
on that day after the arrival ol the Hibernia
were 12000 bales, at an advance of jd per lb.
This news has given a stimulus to our markets
—the sales to-day reach 3000 bales at an advance
of I a [c. per lb. Prices are now within Ja J
ofthe highest rates of January last.
Money Market.—The New York Commer
cial Advertiser of Saturday P. M., say’s —Since
our last notice money is offered more freely, al
though no change has occurred in the rates of
discount. A large proportion qf the paper offer
ing at the banks are acceptances founded upon
cotton, and the great advance which has occur
red and the doubt still existing whether that ad
vance will be met by’ a corresponding improve
ment on the other side ofthe Atlantic, make the
banks somewhat cautious in increasing their
line of this class of paper, (unless it bears the
most unexceptionable names,) and may have a
tendency to hasten the shipments, in the face,
upon present quotations, of a positive loss. The
amount of Southern drafts maturing during the
next few weeks is very large, and if met by ster
ling bills drawn against shipments, rather than
by domestic bills as renewals, the effect upon
the money market and the trade of the country
cannot but be favorable.
New York Banks.—The number ol incor
porated banks now in operation in the State of
New York, is 84; Free banks 59—total 143.
The number ol incorporated banks in 1838 was
95 —showing a decrease of eleven. The whole
number i>l Free banks and individual bankers
that have lodged securities with the Comptrol
ler and received circulating notes therefor, since
the passage of the general banking law on the
18th of April, 1838, is 83. Os these 26 have
been closed by the Comptrollei ; eight Free
banks have been closed by their stockholders,
and 59 are still in operation. One banking as
sociation and six individual banks have com
menced business within the past year, and
piates are new preparing lor five more individual
banlm .
Emigration from Great Britain and Ire
land. —A Parliamentary document shows the
following statistics of emigration from the Uni
ted Kingdom in 1843 :—Lmbarked from Eng
land, 74,683 ; do. from Scotland, 13,108; do.
from Ireland, 40,553 —total, 128,344. Os these
54,153 sailed lor the North American Colonies.
To Cure Sheep-skins with the Wool on.
Take one spoonful of alum and two of salt
petre; pulverize and,mix well together; then
sprinkle the powder on the flesh-side of the skin,
and lay the two flesh-sides together, with the
wool outside; then fold the skins as tight as you
can, and hang them in a place. In two or three
days, as soon as they are dry’, take them down
and scrape them with a blunt knife, till clean
and supple.—This completes the process, and
makes a most excellent saddle cover. If, when
you kill mutton, you treat your skins in this
1 way, you can get more for the wool and skin
■ separately, than if disposed of otherwise. Other
■ skins which you desire to cure with the fur on,
may’ be treated in the same way.— Albany Agri-
' cidturist.
The following admirable conundrum, says
the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer, has been sent its
as well meriting a place by the side of those
we gave some days since :
Why is money’ like the letter Pl
A»s.—Because it makes an asa—pass.
Lead and Copper.—The whole amount of
1 lead shipped during the past three years from
Calena and Dubuque was 106,486,380 pounds;
the whole amount of copper, 95,000 pounds,
valued at nearly 93,000,000.
Praiseworthy.—We notice that a preamble
; and resolutions have been presented in the Le
-1 gislature of Kentucky, awarding a gold medal
. from the State to Robert M. Bullock, of Mays
: ville, for his humane and heroic conduct on the
t wrecking of the steamer Shepherdess, It wil

Died, in Clark county, on the 27th January,
Mr. Solomon Edwards, in the 89th year of his
age. Mr. E. vvas a native of Virginia, and serv
ed his country during the revolutionary war. In
1804 he removed'to this county, where he has
since resided, and where by his uprightness and
integrity of character, he secuted the confidence
and friendship of a large circle of acquaintances.
A Revolutionary Patriot gone.—Departed
this life, at the residence of Mr. J. McCoy, near
Columbus, on the 30th January, Mr. Jeremiah
Dickens, in the 94th year of his age. The sub
ect of this notice was one .of that band of noble
. and devoted patriots, who at the call ol their
country shouldered their arms and went to the
rescue of a suffering land. From the commence
ment to the end of that arduous struggle, he fol
lowed and fought under the flag of the free, in
the army of Washington, never abating in his
zeal for the cause, until he beheld the ensign of
rovalty surrendered at Yorktown into the hands
of his illustrious leader. At the end ot the con
test, he was honorably discharged; and like an
honest and upright citizen returned to the bosom
of his friends and family, to enjoy the peace, se
curity and happiness that he had been so instru
mental in securing. Refusing all help from that
country, whose liberties he had aided in securing,
he went down to the grave poor, but prouder of
his past life than the wealth of kings could have
made him. May he rest in peace.

Cotton — The market for Uplands during the last three
days has continued in a very unsettled state. The
holders of large stocks refuse to make sales except at
former prices, and buyers refuse to operate on such
terms, the transactions are chiefly confined to small
parcels,’where the owners are in town and insist upon
sales bi ng made, and then the reduction mgde is from
|to $c lb, according to the anxiety of the seller or
buyer. Yesterday we received Liverpool dates to the
9th ult, but they only give us news from the Cotton
market to the 6th, and the letters of that day speak of a
decline of $d on American descriptions. The general
state of trade continued good. These accounts-have
as yet had no effect upon the market. The sales of the
last three days sum up 918 bales, as follows: 61 at SA; 8
at 50 at 811 -16; 270 at 8|; 47 at 8$; 473 al 9, and 9
bales at 9sc lb.

Charleston, Feb. 14.
Colton.— The operations in Upland on Saturday last,
were very limited, as dealers could not agree about
prices. On Monday upwards of 2200 bales changed
hands, at rates in favor of the seller. Yesterday advices
frac lied us fi oni Liverpool, via the Roscius at New York,
establishing an advance in the article, which produced
some excitement in the market, and 2700 bales were ta
ken by purchasers. The decline noticed in our review
of Saturday morning has not only been recovered, but
the belief was very general that on the middling to mid
dling fair grades prices were even higher. The busi
ness in the three days reach 5134 bales, as follows : 27 at
8$; 23 at Bs, 113 at B|, 35 at Bs, 168 at 9, 350 at 9|, 597 at

Rice — The sales since our last reach 1343 tierces. Buy

Cotton— During the past week the weather has been

was quiet. On Friday the news per the Britannia ar
rived, after which there was a little more life. But
little was done however, until Saturday, when several
parcels changed hands at an improvement of $ (a) $c 44?

CO//0/1-A very large extent of business has
been done this week, the market opening with
a moderate demand, steady prices, and great
firmness on the part ol holders ; in this position
we remained until Wednesday, when•severi days
later Accounts from the States were received,
1 confirming those previously at hand, as regards
the reduced estimates ofthe crop, inducing more
activity on that day, when upwards of 8000 bales
were sold ; and yesterday a still greater degree
of briskness prevailed, when the sates were re
ported at 19,000 bales, full two-thirds to specula
tors, and prices of American desciiptions and
Surat ruling fully $ higher than on Friday last.
Egyptian are, if any thing, rather dearer, and
Brazils more steady. Speculators have taken
24,000 bales of American, 700 Egyptian, and 7600
Surat; exporters 650 bales Surat, and the trade
only 13,100 bales. The demand is more moderate
today; the sales were upwards of
good share of them to speculators.

feeling that has characterized it yesterday and to
day, and buyers had in many cases the advantage
of Jd per lb in their selectioh. Yesterday and to
day the market ag&in hardened, owing to the
speculative demand, and it closes at lull prices
current during the past week. The import of the
week amounts to 16,117 bales.

Ce/ton—On Saturday morning there was an
extensive demand, both from the trade and specu
lators, which continued until Wednesday, and
prices to $d per lb higher were generally obtain
ed ; but on Thursday and Friday there was not
so much inquiry, and the market closed with less
activity, at barely |d per lb advance upon nearly
all descriptions. Speculators have taken 15,800
American, 2150 Egyptian, 150 Pernambuco, 5000
Surat and 400 Bengals. Exporters have taken
100 American. The market is quiet to-day,
but there is no yielding in prices as compared
with the close of the week. On the contrary the
market is quite firm and steady. The sales a
mount to 3500 bags. On Saturday 3500 bags
were sold, and 6000 on Friday.

(Extracts of Letters per Ship Roscius.)
We give below several extracts of letters re
ceived in this city, shewing that a brisk business
had been done in the afternoon, after the printed
circulars had been made up for the Roscius.
“Liverpool, Jan. 12.
The early part of the week was distinguished
by a strong speculative feeling, and by a steady
demand from the trade, and this disposition has
been much strengthened by the arrival of ac
counts from India and the States ; those from
the former country stating not only that conside
rate shipments of cotton were anticipated to
take place to China, rather than to this country,
but that the Surat crop would -be short, and the
advices from the latter confirming, in many in
stances, the badness of the weather everywhere,
as well as all the smaller estimates of the crop
previously received. These circumstances, to
gether with the continued good position of busi
ness generally, particularly so far as respects the
home trade, led yesterday.to the effecting of very
large sales, and 20,000 bales then changed hands,
of which more than half was on speculatio i, In- f
dia and American being taken in equal proper- i
tions at $d per lb advance in both kinds. Brazils
are steady, and selling at full rates. Surats have (
been taken in large quantities at a rise generally (
of fully Idperlb. on our last quotations. The i
sales of the week, (with 8,000 bales today, and a
firm market,) amount to 46,350 bags, including
24,500 American, 700 Egyptian, and 7,600 Surat,
on speculation ; and 450 Surat for export. The
quotations, according to the standard now adopt
ed by the Brokers’ Association, are, fair Uplands
ssd, fair Mobiles ssd, and fair Orleans s|d per lb.
The import ofthe week is 23,015 bales, exclusive ;
of one ship arrived, but not reported.” .
January 12. j
There has been a large amount of business
done in the cotton market this week, and an in- ]
creased animation has prevailed towards the lat
ter part. Speculators appear to have been the
chief operators, and have freely paid an advance
of $d per b., in the current qualifies of American
and East India, upon the prices of this day week. .
Long staple kinds are without alteration, but in <
fair demand. ]
The sales today amount to 7,000 bales. There
is, perhaps, less buoyancy in the market than i
yesterday. The trade are the chief buyers. <
January 13. 1
The sales today are 10 to 15,000 bales at full 1
prices, of which 6 to 8,000 have been bought since
the Hibernia arrived, and there is every indica
tion of a large business at the commencement of
the next week, and a further advance, as it is
clear but a very moderate supply of the new crop
can get here for some weeks to come. I may
mention that many selling brokers say that fair '
Upland ought not to have been quoted above d
yesterday.
•The trade bought very little during the week, '
and lam inclined to think they will act very cau- -
tiously. Indeed, many holders have been free 1
sellers, and were so on Thursday, when 18,000
bales were sold.
January 13, P. M.
The Packet’s bag has been detained a few hours,
and we can therefore add, that owing, it is suppo
sed, to operations by friends of one of the passen
gers per steamer, the sales amount to 12,000
bales, but the market is too unsettled to ground
any quotations on.
January 13, 5 o’clock.
I wrote you this morning by-the Roscius, that
was to have sailed at 1 o’clock. This vessel
having been detained, lam enabled to add that
on the receipt of advices, through the newspa
pers and prices current from the United Stales,
brought out by the steamer, (the letters not hav
ing been yet delivered,) a good business has been
done at an advance oLAri upon the morning’s pri
ces. The safes up to amounted to 7,000
bales, and they now reach 12,000 bales.
January 13.
We enclose duplicate of our letter ofthe 3d in
stant, since we have had but a steady demand for
cotton, until Thursday last, when the arrival of
the packet ship, bringing accounts of a short crop,
created a large speculative demand, and the sales
of that day amounted to 18,000 bales, at an ad
vance ofsd per lb on former prices ; the demand
has since abated considerably, and there is but a
moderate business doing at the advance we hava
quoted. The extent of business in Manchester
is not so great as it was, and some descriptions
of goods are fewer in p ice.
P. Saturday evening.—The steamer has
artived, but her letters will not be delivered in
time for reply by this opportunity. The cotton
market has been very brisk today, and the sales
are over 10,000 bales, the greater part on specula
tion, at an advance of |d per lb on t lis mor
ning’s prices. We have opened our letter for the
purpose of adding this postscript.
Correspondence of the Courier and Encjuirer per
packet ship loira, at New York.
Havre, January 7.
Cottons—The aspect of our market since our
last report has undergone considerable im
provement; the flatness that has distinguished
business during the last two months, has been
succeeded by great activity in the demand, owing
to the encouraging tenor of the intelligence from
England as also from the United States, and the
buying has been very brisk, with a good share of
speculative feeling. This revival has given an
impulse to prices, which have advanced f3a 4
on ordinary and middling American cottons, and
fl a 2 on superior descriptions; but witlfin the
last two davs the sales have been less exren«ive,
whichlnay be attributed in some degree, to the
sudden rise in prices, and to the stock brought
forward by importers in order to reap the fruits
of the amendment. This has not, however,
weakened the favorable change that has taken
place, and the amelioration*has been fully main
tained. Upon the whole, the situation of things
wears a more enlivening appearance than we
have witnessed for many weeks past; confidence
begins to gain ground, and from the tone of the
accounts on the other side of the channel, there
seems to be ample reason for anticipating still
further activity.
The sales since the 31st December are 10,314
□ales, including6oß9 New Orleans at 62f 50 aB6;
1217 Mobile 72 a 80f 50, and 2997 Upland at 63 a

on the 22d day of December, 1843,1 am
authorized “ to require the interest on the six per

MEDICATED EXTRACT OF SARSA»
PARILLA.
QUID WILL BE FORFEITED
tIpJLW by DR. N. B. LEIDY, for a pre
paration of Sarsaparilla equal to his MEDIC A T
ED EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA. It
is positively the stroncest preparation of Sarsa-,
pa'ilia inexistence. ONE BOTTLE is equal to
SIX PINTS of any syrup that is made, and is
bought by numerous persons throughout the city
and country for making Syrup therefrom, and
who sell it at the rate of seventy-five cents to one
dollar perffiottle, (about half a pint.)
The efficacy of Sarsaparilla is well known in
Scrofdla, or King's Evil; Erysipelas; Diseases
of the t.irer; Affections of the Skin and Bones;
Ulcers ofthe Nose, Throat and Body ; as well as
an Antidote to Mercury and the Minerals, Consti
tutional Diseases, and a general purifier of the
Blood and Animal Fluids. Comment upon its
virtues is unnecessary. Everybody knows its
efficacy. It is only necessary when’ using it, to
get a good preparation of it, and there will be no
disappointment in its effects.
Dr. Letov would refer to the most respectable
physicians in Philadelphia, as *ell as throughout
the United States, for the character of his prepa
ration, as well as to the numerous certificates from
physicians and others, that have been from time to
time published, now deemed unnecessary, as the
character of his preparation is firmly established.
Throughout the Southern States it is used alto
gether, and throughout the North takes the pre
cedence over all others, particularly among phy
sicians, who, for the benefit of their patients, al
ways recommend it. Dr. Leidy can boast as
many effectual cures performed by his Medicated
Extract of Sarsaparilla, as has ever been effected
by any medicine in existence.
The reader is referred to directions accompany
ing each bottle,for recommendations, certificates,
and. further particulars.
Remember, one bottle (half a pint) is equal to
six pints of Syrup, and is equally pleasant to take.
Lj*Price ONE DOLLAR, per bottle.
Also—Dr. Leidy’e Sarsaparilla, »r Blood
Pills.
Which may be used at all times, ages and sea
sons, whether either a mild or active purgative
may be required, or as a purifier of the blood and
animal fluids, and in all diseases requiring purga
tion, cleansing and purifying the system, &c.
They may be used without restraint from diet,
or occupation, from moderate or temperate living,
or fear from exposute to wet and cold. They are
warranted free from mercury and all the minerals,
and an antidote against their bad effects.
Numerous certificates from various parts of the
United States have been, frqm time to time, pub
lished of their good effects, and their reputation
being so well established, it is only necessary to
inform the public where they may be had genu
ine.
Numerous certificates and recommendations
from physicians and others, accompany the-di
rections.
To satisfy the world that they are no quack
preparation, I would simply observe that they are
the preparations of a regular Druggist and Physi
cian, attested also by

THE PHILOTOKEN :
“ OR FEMALES’ FRIEND.”
THE efficacy of this remedy, in re
moving and correcting those derangements
to whi*h the female system, in every condition,
is so peculiarly liable, renders it well
WORTHY THE ATTENTION OF THE
LADIES.
The Philotoken is strictly a vegetable remedy,
prepared from roots, that act in unison with Na
ture. Its happy effects are best attested by the
warm commendation of living witnesses—those
who have given it a fair trial, and who speak
from experience. To the pale cheek and languid
eye, it brings the bloom of health. To the rest
less nights and wearisome days of the nervous
and debilitated —and to the suffering, anxiety,
and danger, frequently attendant upon the lives
of females, in certain conditions, it brings sure
relief, comfort and protection.' And to those Who
are pining in dreary loneliness, unblessed with
offspring, the use of this remedy (from the “joy
ful experience”of others in such cases,) promises
the most encouraging hopes.
O; For all particulars, (which cannot, with
propriety, be inserted in a newspaper advertise
ment,) see pamphlets— to be had gratis.

t]pi,UVVTHE MURDERER!!
Whereas, information has been given, that a
most atrocious murder was committed on the
night of the 7th inst., by one ROBERT BURNS,
on the body of EDWARD W. COLLIER; and it
appearing that said Bums has fled from justice,
I do hereby, with the authority vested in me by
the City Council, offer a reward of Five Hundred
Dollars for the apprehension and delivery of the
said Bums to the Jailorof Richmond county.
Bums is about 5 feet 10 inches high, between
35 end 43 years of age, and weighs 150 to 170
lbs; his right cheek bone has been broken in—
his nose has also been mashed, which has ren
dered it what is eommonly called a pug nose—he
has quite a scar, about two inches in length, run
ning down his left temple—was quite bald on the
top of his head—light blue eyes inclining to grey
—his hands are also scarred on the inside—is a
bony, athletic looking man—rather stoop and
square shouldered—speaks at times very politely
and pleasantly, and when he walks, his toes turn
out very much, and when standing, this trait is
very striking. He is also known to be afflicted
with Fistula Ani.
He was for a considerable time an agent and
runner for the opposition omnibus and line of
stages, and more recently a bar-keeper at the
United S tates Hotel of this city, and a runner with
the omnibus to solicit passengers for that hotel
from the Railroads—from which circumstances,
it is presumed that he is known to a great many
persons by sight, who do not know him by name.
He had on when he left Augusta a cap of cloth or
leather, blue coat, and light mixed oantaloons.
