It is expected (hat a large German emigra
tion will enter this winter the coiintie® lying
weit of the Guadalupe, principally Comal,
Gillespie, Bexar and Medina. I erhaps no
section of the State can be found so favorable
for the settlement of the natives of a temperate
clime as the counties jnst named.
The Corpus Christi Nueces Valley thinks,

About ten miles the other side of th© Bo

ninety miles from Corpus Christi, the frag

By the Crescent City we have Sau Franeis
eo papers l® the 19th of October, two weeks
later than our previous advice®.
The intelligence of the admission of Califor
nia as a state was received at San Francisco
on the 18: h of October, by the steamer Ore
gon. with the most lively demonstrations of
satisfaction.
The San Francisco Hera'd furnishes the fol
lowing summaty of events since the departure
of th® previous mail:—
The miners who have been all Summer en
gaged in damming operations, have been obli
ed by the freshets to abandon the works which
cost them months of hard labor, and they have
generally gone to the dry diggings, where
they will doubtless remain during the Winter.
There has been but little interesting intelli
gence from the mines during the last fortnight.
The Northern portion is becoming infested
with a band of marauders, like those who form
erly traversed the San Joaquin district and
murder® and robberies have be*u recently of
qaite frequent occurrence in the valley of the
Sacramento. In the Northern portions of the
state and on the borders of Oregon, gold has
been found, but not in t'lat abundance that
was first anticipated. We have received pri
vate accounts within the last twenty four hours
from the quartz mine near Loa Angeles, and it
is said it will prove exceedingly valuable.
From the Mariposa mines the statements are
contradictory, but it is probable they will also
prove very productive.
The accounts from the overland immigrants
and distressing. Aboat ten thoa
sand persons are east of the Sierra Nevada,
snail is feared many of them must pass the
Winter in the mountains. Exertions have
been made by our citizens for their relief, but
we fear they will not avail to save all. If we
bad been admitted into the Union, the state
would have been in possession of ample means
to rescue the sufferers from their wretched
condition; bur there is no money in the treasury;
private benevolence is exhausted, and the Col
lector of this port is unwil-ing to assume the re
sponsibility of advancing any of the Govern
ment funds.
The cholera, which has been for some time
approaching this country by the trail of the
immigrant and by the way of Acapulco, has
at length made its appearance, but as yet there
have been very few cases, and those have
been generally of a mild character. The
climate is at present not favorable to the spread
of the disease, and it is hoped it will not ex
tend its ravage®. Some cases are reported at
Stockton, but lhev are not authenticated.
The whole of the burnt district in this city
has b«Hii rebuilt, and the improvements of the
streets have progressed very rapidly.
We find no further allusion to the cholera
in the p ipers before us. beyond the admission
in the Ban Francisco Courier of the 14’h of
Octf ber, that there had been one or two un
doubted of the disease in the city.
Indian Affairs. — The Sacramento Tran
script of the I4ih of October furnishes the
following narative of an encounter with In
dians:—
A party of whites under CapL Best, of the
brig Orbit now lyihg a. our levee, and an old
California adventurer, Mr. Van Deazen, had
a severe enga ement with a party of Indians
at the inoudi of Salmon river, on the Kia
math, about the middle of August last. The
Indiana, it appears, had taken nine white men,
whom they were holding as quasi prisoners,
having robbed them of their clothes, provis
ions, horses, dec. some time before this party
of whites arrived at Salmon river.
Best and his company demanded the instant
restoration of the good® to the robbed parly,
but, the demand was not complied with.
The whites collected their forces and measures
were concerted for a general fight. All told,
some fifty white men appeared, with about
r three hundred Indian® arrayed against them.
The fight was kept up for some hours, the
Salmon river dividing th© combatants. Du
ring the battle twenty four Indians were killed
and several white men severely, though not
mortally, wounded.
A party of eight Americans and ten Mexi
cans were attacked on the Stainslaus, about
twelve leagues from Sonora, while on their
way from the mountains, by a large body o r
Indians. The party fled, but sot until ie
Mexican had been killed and another b' ui_
wounded. J
The Indians upon th© Upper Saaw./nento
and the Trinity are sail to be becomiv a troub
lesome. °

From the Mining Districts.— The Pacific
News of October 15 says t
Now that the various damming on the rivers
ha® been given up as a general thing, the mi
ners are hunting winter quarters, where they
may be able in part to repair their misfortunes
•f the past Summer. The placers in the
neighborhood of Suwora will b® crowded
again. A camp of several thousand persons is
expected at the Chinese diggings. Many
■peak of locating at Carson’s, a few miles
from the Stanislaus river. The regir»® be
tween the Tuolumne and Mercedes known as
Matslei's and Ka ttranake creeks, will also af
ford room for a large number of mivters.
By ihe rains some th**ee weeks since thirty
six dams on the Tuolumne river were washed
away, or partially injured It ie somewhat
remarkable that ot all >he streams u pun which
ao much labor has been bestowed thia reason,
the Tuolumne alone has proved anything
nearly us rich a® the beds of the air earns were
generally supposed to be. Tina is rich without
doubt, yet there is great difficulty in working
the channel to advantage.
The Sacramento Transcript mentions that

Obstructive Firb. —Ahoat one o'clock this
morning the extensive Foundry and Steam
Engine Manufactory of .Messrs. Cameron.
McDermid and Mustard on ilaseell-st. near 1
the wharf, war discovered to be on fire, and in
a few minutes the large building was wrapped
in a sheet of flame. The contiguous ware
house and Grocery store on the wharf next
took fire, and the flames proceeded South
wardly along the wnarf, destroying in rapid
succession the Foundry of Messrs. Lockwood,
and Johnson, and the Blacksmith’s shops of
Mr Jeffords and Mr. Corby. Here it was hap
pily arrested in this direction, but the large
warehouse of Messrs. Cameron, Me Denied
and Mustard, on Pritchard-street, containing
some hundred bales of hay, and a quantity or
molasses, was entirely consumed with i*s con
tents The two two-story frame buildings
west of the warehouse, belonging io Mr. Smy
ter, were also destroyed. These were insured
in the Hartford Insurance Company. At this
point, by the most strenuous and unwearied
exertions of the firemen, the fire was finally
arrested. For a long time the danger of the
fire crossing Pritchard street, was immiuenl.
but the gallant firemen interposed their bodies,
as a living wall between the flames and the
buildings, and thereby saved a vast amoant of
property.
The loss of Cameron. McDermid and Mua
tard, we regret to say. is very heavy, not less
than forty ihousand dollars, of which not more
than three thousand were insured. A number
of st2am engines, nearly completed, and a
large amount of machinery of various kinds.
| were destroyed with their buildings. We have
k not heard of the estimated loss of the other
sufferers.
For a long time it was feared that the flames
would extend across Marsh-street to lhe ex
tensive shipyard of Messrs Marsh and Son in
which there was a fine steamboat on the s.ocks.
nearly ready for launching, but the wind,
which at first was blowing steadily f’.om the
northwest, suddenly changed to the ? outfit'esl.
and the flames were printed fror u extending
in that direction.
We regret to say that a gentk.man who was
active in hit exeriioos at lhe fire, had his
shoulder blade broken by a pv « falling on him,
and a colored man was dead in Pinck

Fridav night, a fire brake out in a sma.l wood
eu budding on B.iy lane, near East Broad
street, owned by Mrs. Mather. The neigh
borhood being »o closely built up of wooden
tenements, the flames rapidly communicated
with the adjoining buildings end fer a while
successfully resisted the efforts of the firemen
and oiherslo keep them under. The whole
block, bounded by East Broad to Houston
•iree and Bay lane to Bryan-street, with the
exc«. ion of two houses, was burn to the
gro I. The block bounded by Bryan. East
Broad and St Juiian-Mteeta and Washiugtoa*

of house on the square owned by Capt

V The principal lom falls upon Mrs. Sneider.
V Mrs. Marner, estate of P. Worthington. Capt
D- unis, and Capt. Leno.
Mrs. Sneider's own residence was burnt.—
Capt. Lane was also burnt out, losing house
and store. The other buildings as far as we
could learn, were occupied by Irish families,
and we only learned the following name-i; Pa
trick Riley, Florence Sullivan, Daniel Sulli
van, Thos. Barret, P. Riley, and John Clary.
There were probably 20 others, and some of
them lost all their furniture and clothing, and

The fear of a continental war has pretty
much subsided for the present, affairs having
at least assumed a promising aspect for a com
promise between Austria and Prussia. M.
Radowitz, who has long been the Prussian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and who has of
fered every thing tending to reconciliation,
has been displaced. These results have prob
ably been brought about by the threatening
attitude of the Czir at the Conference at
Warsaw.
Affairs remain much the same in Schleswig
Holstein, and in Hesse Cassel. In the former
an armistice has been proposed by the Hol
s’einurs, but it stood a poor chance of accep

A letter from Berlin, dated Nov. 1, says it

In Ireland, the emigration mania continues

Montevideo, Sept. 14. The final treaty
between Rosas and Onbo and Franca, has
been completed, and sent home. It is sup
posed that France may not ratify this treaty, as
it is objectionable in many points. Upon the
conclusion of this treaty, the French troops
which bad been in the harbor for eight mouths,
were allowed to como on shore for the first
time. There are about 2,000 of them, and
they are all picked men, from the army that
served in Algiers. They are drilled every
morning, from six to eight o’clock, and go
through the motions in a very soldier like man
ner.
It is expected that a large squadron will soon

There are about a dozen French tnen-cf-
Nvar in the harbor, including the fine steamer
Prony, which sails to day for France, and the

here. There are four Brazilian and two Ital

age. By mean® of their celebrated sub-marine
armor and diving apparatus, a complete sur

in 21 fathoms us water, or one hundred and
twenty-six feet below the surface. The hull
was found full of mud, and completely “honey
combed” by worms, lying by a reef oi sand
which had been thrown up by the current,

in raising one of her anchors and tbe ancher
and cable ol another company who had made
an unsuccessful at empt upon (he wreck.
They also recovered portions of the machine

Tehuantepec Railroad.
The New Orleans Tehuantepec Railroad
Committee are proceeding actively with the
preliminary arrangements. They have em
ployed Major Barnard, now in New York, to
commence immediately the survey of the
route, and have authorized him to procure
men and materials at N«w York if necessary,
but to give a preference to New Orleans when
advisable. The survey is to be complete and
thorough, as to (he grade, level and termini,
and no necessarv expenditure is to be spared
The compensation of :he engineer, thauali
not fixed, is to be lar®e and liberal. Funds for
these objects have been placed in the hands of
Mr. Hargous in New York.
Leave of absence for Major Barnard, who
is attached to lhe corps of Topograph : cal En

Major Barnard has been to Baltimore, and
conferred with Professor Bache, the head of

thia aervey. He now esiimates the entire
cost at $35,000; the surveying party to con
sist of twenty five engineers, a laud force, and
twelve or fifteen boatmen. He is now on hia
way to New Orleans, oh lhe steamer Pacific,
and will be there about the 20th inst.
The New Orleans Committee have also
made all lhe arrangements for the transporta

Mr. Clay's Reception and Speech.—Frank
fort, Ky. Nov 19, P. M — Th© speech cf
Henry Clay before the Legislature of Kentuc
ky, at Frankfort, w published—
He wa® introduced by Mr. Payne, in an elo
quent and beautiful address, to which Mr.
Clay responded. Ho thanked them for the
high compiiment tendered him.
Hi® remarks were elegant end full of patriot
tisni. He spoke of the difficulties which have
threatened our Union. Strongly condemned
the proceedings of the fanatics of the North
and of the free State® in opposing the execu
tion of the Fugitive Slave law. Ho held that
the opposition manifested towards this great
compromise measure ha* at present done
more mischief than all that has been done by
ultras of the South. He strongly advised a
submission to the law. All puro patriots
would aid in sustaining the Constitution. Those
who raised their hands against the execution
and requirement® of this act were enemies not
only to their own future welfare, but to tbe
peace and happiness of the country.
Mr. Clay descanted at length upon the great
measures of the country, and reiterated many
of the sentiments he uttered in the Senate dur
ing the last session of Congress.
He held then as he held now that Slavery
could not and cannot exist in California, no
matter what might be the enactment® of the
General Government.
He spoke of the Union in the most elo
quent strains of patriotism, and called upon
all the hoary-headed and the rising genera
tion to hold it nearest their hearts.

Reception of Daniel Webster.—New York,
Non. 19—9 P. M.— Preparation* were made
to receive and welcome Daniel Webster here
yesterday afternoon by tendering him a dinner,
but he did not arrive till after eleven o’clock
last night. There was, however, a determina
tion upon the part of our citizens to give him
a reception. He was accordingly met this
morning by a large number of his friends, and
welcomed by a neat, patriotic and appropriate
speech from Hiram Ketchum, who spoke in
behalf of his friend®, bidding him welcome to
the Empire City. Mr. K. was exceedingly
happy in his remarks. After he had cor.ciu
ded Mr. Webster arose and addressed the as
semblage.
He said he had most anxiously desired to be
present at the great Union meeting held some
days ago at Castle Garden. There was no
position or occasion iv which his feeb|o exer
tions might be of service in aiding to strength
en this already strong and mighty Union, that
he would not willingly make personal sacrifi
ces to be present. A press of unavoidable en
gagements, much to his regret, had caused it®
absence from the assemblage alluded to. The
proceedings, however, of that meeting met his
most hearty approval. For his own part, he
stood prepared at all times to lend hisaid in sus
taining and carrying out the measure® and sen
timents proclaimed a’, the meeting al Castle
Garden.
Mr. Webster proceeded to speak of the
purposes for which the Union was formed.
Ttie grand objects in creating the confedera
tion of States were first for (tie promotion of
human happiness, and second to promote the
great system of trade and commerce. When
our commerce is in danger, it will then become
the duty of every true patriot to rally for i h
protection. The Union, however, is not in
danger when tne spirit of (he people is awa
kened for it® defence Conventions North
and Boulh avail but little. They do no harm,
but on the contrary excite the people more t<»
observe closely the event® that might endanger
safety.
The object for which this Government was
formed is greater now than it ever has been.
People need not be alarmed. We shall con
tinue io act together so long as we cherish the
interests that makes us one people. This is
the great purpose that should bo first in the
minds of a'l. With this the bond of Union
will grow stronger, and be impregnable to all
other power®.
Mr. Webster was peculiarly eloquent and
happy throughout. He resumed his seat amid
repealed cheers.

Tub Nicaragua Treaty —At the dinner
recently given at Wilmington to Hon. John
M. Clay ton, that distinguished gentleman, in
his speech on that occasion, referred to the N»
caragua treaty Regot ated between himse'f atari
Sir Henry Btilwer. Mr. Clavtou informs •«
that the President, Gen. Taylor insisted on a
clause, now to bn found in that treaty, which
denied to Great Britain any right in fu ure tc
colonize, fortify, or assume or exercise any
dominion whatever over any part of Central
America or the Mosquito coast—a clause which
expressly forbids to Great Britain the right to
use any pro’ectorate for the purpose of exer
cising dominion. an! also forbids to her any
right to assume dominion for the purpose of
maintaining a protectorate.
Our readers are aware of the publ cation of
a letter purporting to be official, from Mr.
Chatfield, the British Charge d'Affairs in Cen
tral America, to the Minister of Foreign R-la
tions of Nicaragua, in which it is declared that
the treaty of Washington expressly recognises
the Mosquito kingdom, and seta aside lhe
claims of Nicaragua io that coast. This an
nouncement caused great surprise—for one
main purpose of the treaty was to obtain a re
Wtf f -
Central America. It was believed that this
purpose was accomplished by the treaty, and
in a manner honorable to bith countries. Mr.
Clayton’s declarations on the late occasion ai
lu.led to above, fully sustain that assumption,
and Mr. Chatfield’s letter find* no countenance
from him. “If Mr. Chatfield ever wrote such
a letter,” says Mr. Clayton, “which 1 confess
1 greatly doubt, he has been guilty of a per
version of the treaty which no honorable gov
ernment could defend for a moment, and which
the British authorities. I am well satisfied,
would di>da n to adopt ”
If the letter should be genuine, it will not
ba the first ill advised document from the hasty
pen of Mr Chatfield. Hia government, how
ever, shou’d remember that it is responsible
m such matters.— Balt. Amer.

Lord Jekn Rnssel on th® Papal Ag
gresston*
To the right Ren. the Bishop of Durham.—
My Dear Lord.— l agree wi»h you in cotivid
enua th© fate ap’greimoa ut the Pope upon
ear Protes’aniiaui hh ‘insolentand insidious,”
and I iherefare fael aa indignant a® you can
do upon the subject.
I not only promoted to the utmost of my
power the claim® of the Roman Catholics to
all civil rights, b- t 1 thought it right and even
desirable, that the eclesi&ctical system of the
Roman Catnolics should be the means of giv
ing instruction to the numerous Irish immi
grant® in London and elsewhere who, without
such help, would have been left in heathen ig
norance.
This might have been done, however, with
out any such innovation as that which we
have now seen.
It is impossible to confound the recent
measure® of the Pope with tha division of
Scotland into dioceses by the Episcopal
Church, or the arrangement of districts in
England by the Wesleyan conference.
There is an assumption of pa wer in all the
documents which have come from Rome—a
pretension to supremacy over the realm of
England, and a claim to sole and undivided
sway, which is inconsistent with the Queen’s
supremacy, with the rights of our bishops and
clergy, with the spiritual independeuce of the
nation, as asserted even in Roman Catholic
times.
I confess, however, that my alarm is not
equal to my indignation.
Even if it shall appear that tha ministers and
servants nf the Pope in this country have not
transgressed the law, I feel persuaded that we
are strong enough to repel any outward at
tacks. The liberty of Protestantfam has been
enjoyed too long in England to allow of any
successful attempts to impose a foreign yoke
upon our minds and consciences No foreign
prince or potentate will be permitted to fasten
his fetters upon a nation which has so long,
and so nobly vindicated its rights to freedom
of opinion, civil, political and religious.
Upon tin® subject, then, I will only say that
the presept state of the law shall be carefully
examined, and the propriety of adopting any
proceedings with reference to tho recent
assumptions of power deliberately co ns id
red.
is a danger, however, which alarms mo
much more than any aggression of a foreign
sovereign. r
Clergymen of our own church, who have
subscribed the Toirry-uino articles, and ac
knowledged in explicit terms the Queen’s su
premacy, have been ihe mos forward in lead
ing their flocks. "step by step, to the very
verge of tbe precipice.” The honor paid to
saint®, the claim of infallibility* for the Church,
the superstitious use of the sign of the cross,
the muttering of the Liturgy ho as tr» disguise
the language in which it i® written, the recom
mendation of auricular confession, and the
administration of penance and absolution—all
these thing® are pointed out by clergymen of
the Church of Errs land as worthy oi adoption,
and are now opeily reprehended by the Bish
op of London m bis charge to the clergy of nis
diocese.
What, then, is the danger to be apprehended
from a foreign pnnee of no great power, com
pared to the danger within the gates from the
unworthy sons otthe Church of England her
self.
1 have little hope that the propounders and
framers of these inuova’ions will desist from
their msidion® coarse But I rely with con
fidence <»n the people of England; and I
will not batea jot of heart or hope so long as
he glorious principlesand the immortal ru«r
- (y r® of the rofortnauon shall be held in rever
ence by the great mas® of a nation which looks
with contempt on the mummeries of super
stition, and with senrn at the laborious endeav
ors which are now making to confine the in
tellect and enslave the soul.

Teeth Set on Edge.— Ail acid food, drinks,
medicines, and tooih washes and powders, are
very injurious to the teeth. If a tooth is put
in cider, vinegar, lemon juice, or tartaric acid,
in a lew hours the enamel will be completely
destroyed, so that it can bo removed by the
finger nail as if it were chalk. Most h ive ex
perienced what is cammonly called teeth set
on edge. The explanation of it is, the acid
of the fruit that has been eaten has so far
softened the enamel of the tooth that the least
pressure is fell by the exceedingly small nerves
which pervade the thin membrane which con
nects the enamel and the bony part of the
tooth. Such an effect cannot be produced
without injuring the enamel. True, it will
become hard again, when the acid has been
removed by the fluids of the mouth, just as
an egg shell tiiat has been softened in this
way becomes hard again by being put in the
water. When the effect of sour fruit on the
teeth subsides, they feel as well as ever;
but they are not as well. And the oftener it
is repeated the soooner will the disastrous con
sequences be manifested.
When Dr. Francis visited the birth-place of
Robert Burns, he said to the widow of the im

“ Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind’s breath,
And stars to set— but nil,
Thou hast all seasons for thy own, O, death!”
In Appling, Columbia county, on the evening of
the 20th inst., Mrs. Ann E. Bailky, consort of Na
thaniel Bailey, in the 50lh year of her age.
Seldom are we culled upon to chronicle the death
of one whose loss is so keenly felt. She was an
affectionate wife, a fond mother, and a kind and
hospitable neighbor. For the last two years she has
been a martyr to suffering and disease, which she
bore with Christian fortitude. Her toss to her family
is indeed great, for she has left behind her an affec
tionate husband and eleven children to mourn her
loss —“ but their loss is her gain.” She was for
moie than twenty years a consistent member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. She was one of those
humble doubting Christians, whose fears at times al
most overwhelmed her, but just before her death all
these clouds of doubt und difficulty were removed,
and she had clear and bright manifestations of her
acceptance with God. When asked how she felt,
she exclaimed, “All’s well! all’s well’” “Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
The Constitutionalist, Republic and Southern
Christian Advocate will please copy.
Ob the morning of the 20th inst., at his residence
near this city, after a painful illness of seven weeks,
endured with calm resignation, James McLaws,
Esq., aged sixty years.
At tue time of his death he was the oldest native
citizen of Augusta; and he truly loved the city of
his birth. For many years he sat in her Councils, and
was ever devoted to her interests. He was honest,
he was truthful and faithful to his trusts, and able
in the discharge of them, of which the best evidence
is the remarkable fact, that for fifteen times in suc
cession he was chosen by the people of Richmond
county to be Clerk of the Superior and inferior
Courts, which offices he held at the time of his death.
Benevolence and kindness of heart were prominent
traits of his character, and many a widow and or
phan, aided by his counsel and means, will bless
his memory. His friendships were warm, sincere
and lasting. A true patriot, he ever rejoiced in the
prosperity of his country. The deep grief of his
surviving children, and the unrestrained bursts of
feeling among his disconsolate servants, as the last
remains of their master and friend were borne from
them, testify to his worth in the private relations of
life* To these shining qualities of head and heart
were united manners gentle and mild, which won
for him numerous friends, who loved him in life,
mourn for him now dead, and will long cherish the
memory of his many virtues.

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly ReportTuesday, P, M.
COTTON. —Our report of last Tuesday left our
market in a very depressed and unsettled condition,
with irregular prices. A belter feeling however,
was manifested on Wednesday and prices improved,
with a fair demand throughout Thursday and Fri
day forenoon, till the arrival of the Niagara was tele
graphed, with one weeks later intelligence, announc
ing u decline of |d on Upland, and Jd. on Mobile
and Orleans Cottons in the Liverpool market. This
news forthwith arrested all operations. On Saturday
however, yesterday and to-day, a few lots were
forced on the market and sales effected, generally
showing a decline of | cent from the prices current
previous to the arrival of the Niagara. In the pres
ent depressed and unsettled state of the market,
quotations are merely nominal, as buyers and sellers
seem disposed to await later news, and wo omit
them.
The sales of the week sum up 3540 bales, as fol

REMARKS.—Judging from the appearance of
our streets, the number of strange faces, and the
busy air of our dealers during the week, we should
infer that a very fair business was doing in all the
departments of trade.
h is one highest evidences of the prosperity
of the City and its continued growth, that there are
no idlers to be seen. Wherever you turn, men are
seen busily engaged, either in commerce, mechan
ics or manufactures —(the old familiar loungers seem
to have lost their occupation or are ashamed to show
themselves on the street,) and the consequence is
the city is daily, hourly improving, and increasing its
business. Our mechanics are all employed and
many more might find employment at fair prices,
if they were only here.
GROCERIES —ln al! the leading article? of Gro
ceries, Sugar, Coffee, Molasses, Salt, Bagging, &c.
the stock is ample, and sales are readily made within
the range of our quotations.
In Dry Goods, Hardware, Drugs, Shoes, Hats,
Saddlery, Crockery, drc.—including every depart
ment of trade, our dealers have ample stocks, and
from the indications, we are induced to believe their
prices are very satisfactory to purchasers.
BACON.—This article is becoming rather scarce,
and prices are looking upwards.—See quotations.
CORN.—The transactions are confined to tbe de
mand for city consumption, but as the supply is
very limited, prices have advanced within the range
of cur quotations.
FEATHERS.—This article is scarce, and readily
commands 29 cents by the quantity.
EXCHANGE.—Our Banks continue to supply
Checks on the North at par.
FREIGHTS.—The scanty rains have kept our
river in navigable order, and freights are without
change—so cents to Savannah and $1 per bale for
Cotton to Charleston.
Liverpool Market.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. B.—The demand for Cotton
during the past week has been comparatively limit
ed, with an increased anxiety on the part of holders
to realize This has caused a farther decline of Jd a
|d per lb. in American, compelling us to reduce our
quotations in the last ten days | a |d. per lb. Fair
Orleans being placed at 8d ; fair Mobiles 7J and fair
Uplands 7|d per lb.; middling qualities 7| a 7id,
This state of things is mainly to be ascribed to
the rigid determination of the Trade to confine their
purchasss within the limit? of their actual wants,
and the increasing uneasiness of holders uadur the
slightest accession in the demand. Trade in Man
chester is exceedingly dull, with a decline in prices
for most descriptions of Goods and Yarns.
The sales of Cotton for the week are estimated at
25,000 bales, of which speculators have taken 1.350
and exporters 2,590 bales. The total stock iu tais
port is estimated at 460,000 bales, against 469.000
last year; and the stock of American is
against 303,000 bales at same peri>J.

received ; but the import was larger than baa usu-.1-iy

and co'ton was pressed for sale. The Arctic arrived

exceeded 25,860 bales.
To-day there is a fair attendance of buyer?, but
