and consumption o Cotton from the 29th of May,
to 81»t December, 1852, and the probable stock re

“ My most deliberate judgment is, that the
Liverpool stock of American Cotton on the 31st
December will not exceed 150,000 n 175,000 bales,
unless price* in the meantime attain snoh a height
ut to cheek consumption. This, however, will
probably he the case, and there will doubtless be
enough Cotton ou the Ist January to supply the
worlJ. But who can tell at wlmt price f I esti
mate 7d. for Fair, with a crop of 2,800,000 bales,
or Vtl. a Ivanco or decline for every 100,000 bale*
below or above thut quantity.”
Later tnott Manilla.—By tho arrival ofthe ship
Challenge at San Francisco, paper* have been re
ceived from Manilla to the 28th January. The mail,
with November datee from Europe and the United
State*, »rrived on the 22d Jauuary, and the advice*
received tendod to confirm the downward tendency
in price* of sugar, butotherwise did not afifeot the
market. On the Bth and #th of December a very
severe gale occurred south of Manilla, during which
many province vessel* were lost, several of them
with valuable cargoes. The American ship St. Paul,
from Salem, bound to Manilla, went ashore on the
Tth of January on the island Muehnte. Her cargo
w-et saved by u Spnaish brig sent to her assistance,
but th* ship hed to be abandoned. The shipments
of hemp for the year 1851 were largely in excess
of tho*# of the previon* year, and it i» expected
that the production of 1852 will be quite aa great
a. that or 1851, perhaps greater. The exports from
Manilla to the United States during the year 1851,
largel,. exceeded those of Great Britain.— A. O Pro.
Tin Wxatiixh and Tn a Crop*.—The weather ha*
been very variablo and unsettled for eome time
past. Although wo have had no very heavy fall
of rain for some weeks, still some has fallen almost
every day—just enouglt to keep the ground too
wet i'or plowing, and to give the weeds a chance to
get a good start of the crope.
Tiie crops, however, in the middle *nd southern
portion* ot tho State, so far aa we have beard, look
very promising. In the northern portion of it
they are considerably more backward, owing to
late frosia, but are said to look thrifty.
The wheat crops in this vicinity (though the num
ber of acre* are few, owing to titer# being no good
flouring mill* in our neighborhood) present a very
promising appearance. They ar# now mostly
ready tor harvesting, or will be in th# course of
tho enauing week. We fear, however, that the
late wet weather bodes them no good—being cal
culated to produce rust and blight. Our advice*
from other portion* of the State, represent the
wheat <rop a* very fine.— Little Mock Gtwdhc, *B to.
May.
Tin Late Freshet.—The Into rains have done
much damage in all the surrouudingoountry. Tho
Knilrond Bridge at Bull Crook was moved from its
place, so that tho connection ia interrupted between
this city and Savannah, ludeed, th* mails are dc
rangad in every direction. All this however, w ill
be repaired in a fewxlay*. The injury totno Plan

ties, subject to overflow. The, destruction npou
th* Uohee and Upatoie creeks is said to be very
great. Whole fields of corn and cotton i»T 8 b#en
submerged, and greatly, if not irreparable, ruined.
It is unfortonatelv too late to replant with #ny hop#
of a full crop. —Coleimbuo (t?a.) StnlineK
Dsatti bt Lioiitninb.—During the thunder
storm that visited our neighborhood on Monday

The Wotompka ‘‘State Gaunf' Extra of t>amr
■ | day, the 12th hist., contains the following account of
t | a moat destructive oonihigrati#n in that town:
This morning about two o'clock a fire wa* dis
covered in an old warehouse adjoining and ttr.mo
i. diately inthc rear of too store occupied Wm.
• S. Kyle,—it being very dry aud constructed of
’ light wooden material, waa enveloped m slant-s : .n
-a Vow seconds, —eotniuunicau-i to tbe store of Mr.

■ before any of its content* could lie removed;
tne flames"then communicated with the store o«-
’ copied by Mr. T. Sounders, which wa* also des
-1 troyed—the devouring flames by this time, lud
become so overpowering, the heat intense, and tnc
element above befilled with sparks and burning
ember*, the fire soon commenced it* w ork of des
truction in every direction, and iu les* than two
hour* after the fl’ra was discovered almost tno en
tire biuines* part of East Wetnmpka. wasenveiop
-1 ed in flautes, and soon laved m ashes, h was
awful to witness the scenes "of destruction, and tbe
1 noble efforts of hundred* ofonr citizens, in endea
voring to save tbeir own and the property of their
neighbors from destruction, but we liave not now
the lime to euamerate them. Much credit is due
Captaiu Miller, of the steamer Isabella, for bring
ing the bauds of that boat, (which hud just arrived
at the wharf/ to the aid of our citizen* in removing
the goods from store*.
Tne buiidiug occupied by Messrs. Douglass &
Co., J. bulzbaeber, smoot, Dawson <fe Co„ McKin
ney Thomas, & Co., Thomas & Trice, G. New
bouer, Isaac Langermau, the aaddlery establish
ment oftiuin. Couuochan, and the entire range, of
buildings south of the market house, including the
house occupied by Mr. T. Stamps at a shoe store,
were destroyed. Also the entire range of build
ings between the east end of the Bridge and the
market house, as well a* the er tire part of town
uorth of tho market up to the junction of the
Flank lioads, including th# market house itself,
were all destroyed, not a single buiidiug was saved,
aud now nolhiug but boruiug embers, tall cltiin
uey* and ruined walls are visible, where on ye—
terday stood magnificent and stately buildings." It
isawtul to look upon.
We have not been able, np to thi* moment, to
ascertain any thing like an accurate amount of the
value of property destroyed—eome estimate it at
between three and four huudred thousand dollars,
other* estimate at less. We are confident it cannot
be less than two hundred aud fifty thousand; in
fact the building* alone could not be replaced with
that amount of money, aside from the 10.-s of busi
ness and destruction of goods end groceries.
So far a* we are able to ascertain, the following
is a list of the sufferers and the probable amount
of each one: Douglas* & Co., #25,000 i Smoot,
Dawson & Co., #6,000; Porsse, Taylor & Co., $30,-
000; Wm. B. Pardee, $2,000; H. McConngliy,
$500; Kerr & Price, $13,000: B. Frank*, $2,500;
Biooh <B Co., $3,00o; Weteupka Lodge of Odd
Fellows, including their buiidiug, books, regalia,
&c., $3,i)00; Felix 6immons, $17,000; P. Saunders
& Co., $12,000; m. S. Kyle. $15.0“0; David
Wilson. sßoo • Wm. A. Croeheron, $8,000; Estate
of Samuel Catlin, $4,000, James Beard, $2,000;
Nat. Chapman, $2,500; Wilson & Ellis, $90o; A.
(i. Campbell. $2,000; E. Ragland, $1,000; P. Con
iff, $6,000; Tulane & Bates, $10,000: Melton &
Bransell, s6,"Ou; McLeinore & Hill, $3,500; B. S.
Griffin, $8,000; Samuel Camochan, $8,500; T.
Stamp*, $500; G. Newbowcr, I 7,000; Tnomas &
Trice, $3,000; McK Thomas & Co., $15,000; Isaac
Langerman, $2,000; J. Sulzbachor, #lo,oflo; —aud
there are many other* that sustained light losses in
the removal of goods aa well ns having some des
troyed by fire. This estimate includes the estimat
ou value of some of the buildings destroyed, but
doe* not include all, for we do not know to whom
many ofthe house* destroyed belonged.
Os this amount destroyed there wus supposed to
be about SOO,OOO, covered by insurance, but of this
we canuot speak correctly, as follows: P. Coniif
$3,000, Melton & Brassell $5,000, McLeinore &
Hill SI,BOO, Wm.S. Kylo ss,uuo, P. S.mnders Or
Co. $5,000, Felix Simmons $7,000, WetUmpka
Lodge of Odd Fellows $1')00, Kerr & Price sß,ouo,
Wm. B. Pardee $2,000, Persse, Taylor & Co. #lB,-
000, Douglass <fe Co. $12,000, Smoot, Dawson & Co.
$4,000, McK. Thomas <fc Co. *9,1 'OO, (i. Newbowcr
$6,000 —and there may bo others who are secured
to acme extent by insurance.
This is the most destructive fire we havo ever
witnessed—certainly so to Wetumpka, for but fen
houses are left in which business cun be done, and
all caused by some fiendish and craven hearted in
cendiary, because it originated iu a bouse that was
not used.

Southern Manufacturing.—ln looking over the
other day, (saye tho New Orleaus Bulletin,) a
statement concerning tho number of Pennsylvania j
cotton factories, and the profit derived therefrom,
our mind instinctively recurred to manufacturing
in the South, and contrasted its progress and im
portance with thf vigorous enterprises of our
Northern brethren. Tho investigation was neither
aatiei'netory nor pleasant. It partook more of the
qualities of regret and mortification than anything
J»e_regret that the lamontable want of enter
prise exhibited by tho people of our own scotion,
fn wantonly disregarding the advantage* bounte
ously bestowed upon us by nature, which, propor
ly cultivated and directed’ would place us tar be
voud all of our neighbor* in wealth, prosperity
itud greatness; and inortifioatiou, bitter and in
tense mortification, that our own indolence and
apathy should be the raear.9 of building up, mak
iug great, wealthy, and powerful oommuuitie*a»d
States thousands of miles from us, who by tlie ex
ercise# of energy, industry, and skill buvo contrived
to make u*, literally, “hewer* of wood and draw
er* of water” unto them. We have no right to
complain of this. It is our own fitult, and t vsry
high price have we paid for it.
! Let ua look at the matter in a plain, practical
I light. The people oflhe Southern States are the
! producer* of a raw material which, in it* mannfac
tured state, may be said without exaggeration, to
I clothe the principal portion of Christendom. That
j raw material i» peculiarly onr own—poculisrly so
lin more senses than one- What do we do witfi it 1
i Let us see. We plant it, cultivate it, pick it, gin
| it, bale ;t, send it to our commercial marts, where
i almost all of it is shipped to points from three
■ to five thousand mil** off, wrought into various
description* of fabrics, from superfine lawns to
tlie course cloths required for negroes *nd then a
' great portion of it is sent back end sold to us in its j
manatectured state, with the accumulated costs of
commission*, storage, freight and insurance, hath ;
; troys, as well as the large profits of the manufactu- .
' rer superadded! Manchester haa grown great on I
j the fabrication of ootton. Massachusetts owes a
I larjr# portion of her wealth and prosperity to the
aamo source. The manufacturing towns of the
• North flounsh in affluence, and are continually in
[ creasing in all tb* eeaectials of greatness, from
j the profit* derived from the manufacture of our
Southern staple.
Now, if such a result attends the labors of indi
viduals, thousands of miles from the cotton fields,
what raigmnwa! returns would crown the efforts
of those tn, and adjacent to, the fields themselves,
if skilfully, energetically and liberally directed I
If manufacture of cotton has made Lowell a pros
perous city of thirty thousand inhabitants, what
ought not the same manufacture accomplish for ns
here in the heart of oution growing regions I If
cotton manufacturing has made Manchester a
city, with hundreds of thousand of popu

and villages, around which, and within arms
length, as it were, the snowy staple matures in ex
haustless profusion f
We hardly need answer these interrogatories,
for the auspls reason that every intelligent mind
will at once suggest a reply. The thing is pal able,
but our people will not need it. It is plain, but
they will not see it. And. strange to say, although
they pay dearly for thedelu.-ion, they, in too many
instants*, oeem to prefer indolence and depen
dence to industry ana independence, notwithstand
ing every advantage is ou their side. In position,
labor, and the growth of the staple, they have ful
ly twenty per cent, the start over Nqw England or
i British manufacturers. By employing these ad-
I vantages they could build hp their o’wn section as
tonishingly—place it on the sery pinnacle of sound
and stable wealth and prosperity—render the
i South commercially independent in all reap c:s
• and with that commercial independence would
; come, as an inevitable consequence a strength and
; power which would prerayt encroachments upon
i our rights, and enable ns to compel respect to
i those rights by the strong arm, if necessary.
' The South can never expect to prosper at home,
be respected abroad, tad he able to exact a com
j plete recognition of her rights, until she.f<ihrt«itfe,
jas well as product*. Production is a very important
I element in the growth of a nation, bat manufac
turing baa shown itself to be equally so. Without
the manufacturer, the raw material would be
worthies*. Let, then, the Soutt.ej.n people follow
the dictates of true policy, divide their l*tw, and
i nroauoe and manufacture at the same time—reap
: mg themselves the profits incident to the two pur
i suits. Let them bdiid yj> themselves, instead of

what principles he conceived was settled by the

the fugitive law tiie most important; but would
regard any modification, impairing the efficiency of
that law, as a violation ofthe spirit and principles I
of those measures. He then enumerated the vari- !
oils principles which ho considered as settled by

From India—The AUarU on Rangoon.
The late European accounts brought tiie intelli- |
gence of tho taking, by the'British, of the City of |
Rangoon, one of tho capitals of Birmah. The
following account of the first attack has been re
ceived byway of San Francisco, and was tho lutest
new 3 received at llong-Kong up to the 17th March.
Tho San Francisco paper* »ay it come* from an
authentic source:
Pending tho decision of the King of Ara on the
proposition* submitted by Com. Lambert, pre
viously pub’ished, tbe Commodore had cstablieh
sd a blockade of tbe lrawaddy und its branches,
and on tho 10th of January sent Com. Fishborne,
of 11. M. steamer Hermes," accompanied by Cunt.
Latta, of tbe Bengal Army, with a message to the
Governor of Rangoon. Upon their arrival»t hi*
residence, they were told that he wus asleep and
could not ba disturbed, upon which they returned
to tiie Fox, and reported the nature of their re
ception. Com. Lambert demanded an immediate i
apology, und as that was not forthcoming, stated
that lie felt it his duty to take steps to compel the
Governor to make reparation, and in default there
of, it wr.s his intention to taka possession of an
urmed vessel, the property of the King of Ava,
then lying in the river. The Governor replied
that any attempt to move her would be resisted;
but the threat, of course, had not much weight
with Com. Lambert, who forthwith took the ves
sel, and began moving her down tbe river. A fire
wa* opened on the Fox, which she returned, des
troying the principal stockade and killing a great I
manv people, while the Hermes knocked down j
another stockade of smaller extent, and also oeea
; sioned greater slaughter among the Burmese on
i shore. Iks boat* of Her Majesty’s ships then
I landed, aud niter they had cap - urea the gunboats,

Pum.—The King of Siam has, since his acces
sion, projected manv improvements in his coun
! try, the beneficial effects of which are already be
coming apparent. The reduction of duties on
foreign shipping is inviting Europeans there to
trade—the abrogation of agricultural monopolies
is encouraging the people to cultivate the soil—
and tiie study of the English language at court is
| bringing the people who speak it into favorable
notice with all cbtsses at the capital. They are
now allowed to approach His Majesty at his palace
! without crouching, as formerly, on their hands
and kr.eee, and are otherwise treated by the King
> in a manner becoming hi* dignity, without in
fringing their self-respect. The enlargement and
improvement of the capital has already been com
menced ; and tbe King talks aboutstesmboats and
, railroads, to be introduced time.
• i Among other changes, he has legalized the traf
fic in opium as regards his Chinese snbjects, of
i whom he has about 800,000 at the capitol. More
1 than ten years ago, his predecessor issued an edict j
; 1 prohibiting its sale end consumption under tbe
I severest penalties. The prohibition still remains
i mainst all Siamese, and for tbe privilege of using
the drug, the Chir.css are to pay into the treasury
annually about SIOO,OOO.
The numerous fires and alarm* of .fires whioh
hove recently occurred in this city, have put our
Solice on trie pat tire, and we learn that at the

of loafers, who had been arrested on the previons
night, were brought np before his Honor to give
an account of themselves. Two of the number,
unable, satisfactorily, to account, were remanded \
to-jail, one for the term of tea days, or until he can I
be sent oiT—end the other to remain in prison nn- '
til he enters into bonds to leave the State upon his
release.
One of these individua.*, we understand, was
fonnd sleeping in the open air under a stoop, and
when offored a more comfortable lodging fa the

State of Trade. — May 25.—Our
market has received a new impulse from the specu
lative changes iu cotton. The “EuropaV advice*
out to America, as was somewhat anticipated, re
newed the speculative disposition iu cotton which
previously began to subside, and the Niagara’s
nows, which came to hand yesterday, is to the
effoot that a slight advanco, had been effected both
at New Orleans and New York.
; This lias reacted upon the Liverpool market,
and our teiegraphio accounts from tbut port this
j morning were to the effect that a largo sale was
anticipated of a speculative character at hardening
rates.
Opposed as this result is to the opinion of many
well-informed men, who see no reasou, with the
largo crop of cotton coming forward, for an im
provement of prices, it lias had tiie effect of in
ducing those WHO had pressing orders to seek an
early opportunity ot placing them, giving rather
more active appearance to the yarn marl®, which
has fully sustained last week’s rates.
In cloths there is no change; a fair business has
been done where last week’s rates have been ac
cepted, but manufacturers complain that these, at
the relative cost ot the raw material and of yarn,
arc in cases far from remunerative.
Obo call-0 why there has beeu a disposition to
buy more freely for present wants is, perhups, a
doubt put forth on some hands a., to whether the
preseut cotton crop, large as it is, will leave great
surplus, from tho uo-sibility that the scarcity of
i wool from Australia will iead to the mixture of
j cotton with worstedgoods to alargeexteut. This,
j howver, is by no means the prevalent opinion here,
i Leeds, May 25. — The merchants ure eager y
clearing the stock from the cloth halls; there has
, again been a brisk, active market. We believe the
[ preseut activity arises entirely from speculation,
as the merchants are well aware that it will ho quite
impossible to produce similar goods within tuner
cent, from wools purchased at tbe preseut sale*.
In addition to the telegraphic accounts already
published, containing English advices to May xtCc.ii,
by tbe steamer Hermann, we now give the follow
ing items:
Prussia. —The Emperorof Russia arrived in Ber
lin ou the 18th nit., und on tho sumo day the two
Chambers wero prorogued. A grand review took
place in which 25 000 troops figured. The caval
cade was magnificent; the Imperial aud Koval stuff
and the suits numbered 600 horsemen, an irregular
mass, of every conceivable form, galloping down
the immense line of front. They were received by
Eoyal salutes from the batteries, a roll from all tho
drums,and the strains of the Russian Hymn from
tbe Regimental bands. The first arrival of their’
Majesties wu* by fur the grandest m orient of the
spectacle. The Empress of Russia aud tho Queen
of Prussia, with theirtuites, followed; their Majes
ties were m a carriage and eight, and as soon as
tbe Emperor had ridden down the lines, and return
ed to the centre, the troops began to file past, in
companies and squadrons, then in column—the
cavalry the second time at full trot. The Emperor
pluccd himselfatthe head of hisCuirassier Regiment
aud led it past tbe King of Prussia, as if on duty
for tho day. After tho military manoeuvres the Prus'-
sian King gave a grand banquet in the Wbie-hnil
of the Palace; covers w ere laid for 400 persons.
During dinner, the King himself called on the
guests to fill their glasses to the brim (fit* turn
Uaruie,) and gave the following toast:—
“ Iu my own name, and that of my army, and
in the name of all true Prussian hearts, I give tho
health ot His Imperial Majesty of Russia 1 God
preserve him to that portion of the world whioh
God has given him for an inheritance, and to tiff*
age, to which he is indispensable.”
Tho Emperor replied, Dieu voire Ma
jette,” adding immediately afterwards in Gerra»ii,
—“I drink to the welfare of the King of Prussia
and his admirable army.”
The toast was drank with the utmost enthus
iasm, and the hall re-echoed with oft-repeated
“ Uoehe!"
Vienna, May2ojh.—On the Bth May, the day on
which the Emperor of Russia arrived,"the Austrian
Emperor resorted to lessen the total amount ofthe
military expenditure (die GeeammlrSmime dts Mil
ilur.Avfu:andt) during the year 1658 by 2,800,000f1.
Nothing is said of the expenditure of the VY ar De
partment during the current year ending October
81, but it will probably be about 102 or 108 mil
lions of florins.
France.— From France, the news is that an
eineute has taken place at the Eoole do Saumure a
military establishment for training cavalry officers.
Some of the scholars took to singing republican
songs, and tbe other legitimist; so that the bat
tle lay between ” Vive Ilonri IV,” and -l La Belle
Gabrielle" on odo side, and the “ Marseillaise”
and tho “Girondius” on the otlior, while the
cypher of Prince Louis Napoleon was troddeu un -
der foot. General RarnpoD, having pnt down tho
row by calling in some troops, punished the re
fractory youths by eight days ot arrest. lie then
i wrote a report of affair to Genetal do St. Arnaud, ’
I who sent hack orders to increase the term of arrest
up to a month.
! Paris, May 24.—Tbe accounts of the appronch
| ing harvest aro all favorable. Letters received in
I Paris from Odessa, dated tho 8d instant, state that
i there were then foO vessels loading wheat in that
I harbor, and that the price was still declining. The
| silk market* in the Drome aud the Ardecche re
main quiet. The approaching crop, which prom
ises to be abundant, notwithstanding tbe frost on
the night of tbe 20th of April, tends to check
speculation. The wine buyers refuse to submit to
the demands of the proprietors, being convinced
that tho accounts given of the damage caused by
the frost are exaggerated, ond the vintage w ill at
least be equal to a good averago crop. Letters
from Nantes announce a decided fall in the price
of wine.
The sale of Marshal Sonlt’s pictures had conclud
ed—the total prooceds were 1,147,789 f.

The Ministers refuse to recommend the discon

cated by the postponement of the debate at the I
i instance of tho Ministers.
There appears to be a very considerable anti
militia excitement in both the cities and tho coun

Ireland, —A statement which originated in the
Frenoh papers, to the effect that the Pope had eon

bells iu hi* honor.
Rome, N. Y., June s.—The Democracy are out
#n masse to ratify the nomination of Pierce.
Speeches aro being made, gnna fired, &c., &o.
Boston, Juuo 6.—The nomination of Pierce took
the town by surprise. The Douglusites aro greatly
disappointed, and the Cass men are greatly chagrin
ed. The Whigs say they could not have’ beeu bet
ter pleased. Gen. Pierce being annoyed by the
calls of hi* political friends, left the Treiiiont House
privately last night, and took lodgings in Cam
bridge. A hat full of despatches are at the Tre
uiont House for him from Washington and Balti
more-only a few of his friends know of his where
abouts.
Philadelphia, June 6.—There ii no expression
of enthusiasm here at the result of the nomina
tions. The Democracy have not yet recovered from

Post (Barnburner) says that the nomination of
•General Pierce gives general satisfaction to tho De
mocratic party and intimates that the Van Buren
whig will give him $ warm support. Tbe Post re
gards the Platform as of no binding effect, and un
der the circumstances a more farce. Politicians
generally concede tlfat Pierce will unite the whole
strength ot' tho party.
Philadelphia, June7th.—The Dcmocratiomeet
ing for this evening in Independence v 'qunro, to
ratify the lute nominations, was compelled to ad
journ to the Chinese Museum, owing to the lioavy

and delivered an eloquent address on taking the
chair, which excited frequent hursts of applause.
Ho called the aspersion against Pierce of having
favored the Cutbulie test still retained in tbe Con
stitution of New Hampshire ns the weak inven
tion ofa frightened enemy. He said it wus true that
•ueh a provision excluding Catholics from becom
ing members of the Legislature or occupying the
position of Governor was engrafted on the Consti
tution of that Stato, but it wa* also true that Levi
Woodbu.rv and Franklin Pierce had obtained the
passage Inna providing for the holding of two State
Conventions to ameud that Constitution, but in
both cases tho nmcnoed Constitution had been re-
I jected byacomblnalion cf Whigs and Free Soilers.
A scries of resolution* were then read by Mr.
Vaux and adopted.
Mr. Nicholson, of Tenn., then roee and eulogized
Pierce, and said bis nomination grew out of the

vouched for the bravery of Gen. Pierce, and was
followed by Colonel Burr, of New York, in an en- i
ergetio speech.

In Guayaquil there are between 1,000 and 4,009 *
troops ready to oppose him.
Flores’s men uro the best fighter*, and have the

Weekly Report Tuesday, P. M
COTTON.—When our weekly report of last Tuesday
closed the market indicated a great firmness in prices and
a steady demand. A later arrival from Europe, advising
of a still further advunce and very heavy sulea in that
market, produced a corresponding advance in this, and
prices have gone up for Middling Fair and the higher
grades to X cent during the week. For the descriptions
below, there is little demand and prices are rather Irregu
lar, varying'from 7)4 to 9X cents. The quotations ate to
day for Middling Fair 10 ets.; Fair 10)4, and Fully Fair
10)4 cents., at which rates the market closes firm.

GROCERIES.—In the Grocery and every other depart
ment of trade, there is only a moderate summer business
going forward-being almost exclusively confined to the
city trade and the filling of small orders from the country.
The stocks in the Grocery market are well supplied with
all the leading articles, and we would refer to our quota
tions for the current rates. *
PROVISIONS.—There has been a sort of panic in the
Corn market during the week, in consequence of the large
arrivals and the quantity to arrive. Sales have been made
At 65 cents, and buyers could not now be found to take any
considerable quantity at that rate. Indeed, it would be
difficult to find a purchaser for a large lot at 60 cents, sacks
included. It is retailing in small lots from store at 75 oents,
and holders exhibit great anxiety to sell.
In Bacon there is a heavy business transacting, find pri
ces are without material change. See quotations.
EXCHANGE.—The rate for Checks on the Neath is X $
cent, premium.
FREIGHTS.—The river continues In good navigable er
der, and Freights continue At 50 cents to Savannah and 75
cents per bale to Charleston for Cotton.
Liverpool Market.
Correspondence qf t'te Charleston Courier.
LIVERPOOL. MAY 28.—The reduction in the rate of In
terest upon Exchequer Bills from i#d. toljfd, per diem
per £IOU, and the intention of the East India Company to
lower the rate of interest upon its bonds, from 8 to 2)tf per
cent, per auuuro, aiTord proofs of the confidence entertained
in high quarters, that our Money market will be ken» *n
an ea s y position for some time to come. The inftux of the
precious metals continue large, and much qxoeeds the ex
port, so that the stock of Bullion in the Bank was, accord
ing to the last Bank return, no Iqeg than £20,804,000, and
it is estimated to stand much snore to-day. Its future in
crease seems to admit of no doubt, for the export of our
manufactures anpeurs on a scale of magnitude more than
adequate W. meet our indebtedness to foreign countries, es
pecially as we hav* no large requirements for foreign bread
stuffs.
The public funds have been sustained fn value, Consols
ruling at 99%@£100, but pubUn Savor Is not attracted to
wards Ruilway Shares as plight have been expected, and In
ra«ny lines rule lower.
Discounts on g,ood paper are kept low, say l>f<ft2 p*er
cent., and so far as monetary facilities extend, no stimula
tive is wanting to sustain the forward progress of
trade generally,
The course of our market for the raw material continues
to be the regulator of the Manchester market for Goods
and Yarns, which are rather advanced, and for which a
vent equal to the production is still found, though buj ers
seeing that the crop of American Cotton will be large,
operate with wore caution. The ex tent lon of new mills
and machinery is still going forward, nnd affords evidence
of the satisfactory character of the trade.
Chiton.— 'The business transacted in the week ending on
the 2ist Inst., amounted to 89,000 bales, of which 28,000
bales were taken by speculators and 14,260 bales tor ex
port. In Americ&u kinds a decline of %il. per lb. was ac
cepted in classes below middling, and importers *ohl freely.
Thomuiket during the present week has been consider
ably under the iuduence cf the American advices, brought
by the “Nu»guru,” and the “Baltic, M And reaching to the
15th Uut. 1 he-e advices reported a falling off in the re
ceipts at the ports, and an advance In price* there, and
have stimulated speculators to fresh operations, the ex
porters and consumers following the movement to a fair
extent, eo that the entire sales tor the week will sum up to
104.720 hales, the Speculators taking 81,600, (including
29,600 bales American,) and Exporters 16,400 bales, of
which 1R,5!>0 were American. All this large demand has
been satisfied without causing a larger advance than that
of #d. per lb. in qualities of American ranking above mid
dling, and of 1-I6d. per lb. in lower grades.
[jjbraz.lo under of speculation are )fd. (ft Jfd.
per lb. dearth and Egyptian are also improved to nearly
the same extent.
Surat* are not so easy to buy. Sea Island d. to Id.
dearer.
The estimates of the crop are now restricted to the
range of 2,900*000 to 3,000,000 bales, and our advices give
the receipt* at 2,742,<HM) bales at the lutest dates. The
large raovemants in the article have been made here under
| a full knowledge of these facts, and also under the calcula-
I tion that Great Britain may get 1,650,000 to 1,700,000 bales
; as her portion of the crop. This marks the strength of
opinion inclining towards the article, und the probability
that the rise in wool may further extend the u«e of cotton as
a substitute, Is & new feature engaging some attention.
P. B.—The sales to-day are 1-,OUO bulea, 5,000 on speca
j lation at firm prices.
HAVRE, May 26.—After a few days of calm la the Cot
| ton market, we are again very firm and animated after the
i receipt of the news per Niagara. SuleH yesterday, 5,000
! bales; to-day they will be above 4,000 bales. Price* very
firm. Georgia, Ties Bas, 70 f.; Uv, T4f.; Tree Ordinaire,
61 f. Stock, 70 t j 75,000 bales o t the United States.
P. S.—The Telegraph announces the arrival at Liverpool
of the Baltic, with rather less firm markets on your side.
This news has for the moment stopped transactions; every
one is waiting to see what effect these advices have bad on
.the Liverpool markets.
