The following highly interesting communication from the Hon. GaUM-TT Amikxws, to the Southern CaliimUr, presents some facts connected with the early liistory oftho cotton gin in Georgia, that can not full to be interesting: Meetrt. EdUore-CxAl-n liaving become of such va-t importance, not only to the producers, but to the world, everything relating to its history is of interest. Therefore, lam induced to give a little inf..nnation 1 lately obtained of the great staple. 1 roJe, a few (lays since, six miles 1.e.0w tbit place, to sec my old friend Tho*. Tal'uot, and his kitchen and barn. Mr. Tails.t is eighty-three years old, ill full possession of his faculties and i« living where heiettled siry-twoyears ago. W...t --ney, the I»—entor of the cotton gin, settle I a plan tation adjoining him, ori which he p aceu one ol his gins, the first ibet was used in VVilkaa county; perhaps the first in the State. He am! bis partner, Durkee, erected a gin house an<j a large cotton house—the latter to bold the cotton they expected to receive from customers to gin. The gin house was grated, so (list visitors might look through nt.d soc the cotton firing trom, without seeing the g’.u. lie suffered women to go in the gin liou-o to x e the machinery, not apprehending that they oonlil betray his sc’.-ret to builders. Lyon, who lived some eight or ten mile." above this place, bv dress ing himself in women's clothes, procured admit tance, and came out and made his improvement, the saw gin. Mr. Talbot say's that Billy MeFer ran, a little Irish blacksmith, who died a tew years ago in this county, made the saws, the first that ever were made. Durkee, Whitney's pa-luer, be ing dissipated and inattentive to business, lie sold out his place, and the gin and cotton house coming into the possession of Mr. Talbot, tic moved them to tins pla c . The former is r.ow his kitchen, and stil! lias it: long gratedwindows, as in the time of Wlf the.. The cotton house makes a large and '- unodious barn. Mr. Talbot says that Allison, or Ellison, who had been connected with Whitney in hnsiness, told him that the latter got his first idea of the invention from a gin used to prepare rags for making paper, and which he saw on a wrecked vessel. On the place sold by Whitney, was erected, in 1811, a cotton factory, and, I presume, the first in the State. The prime mover in the enterprise was a Mr. Bolton, of Savannah, u merchant, who spent his summers, then, in Washington. Mr. Talbot bad four shared. The factory had one hundred and sixty spindle*, cost >I7OO, and made 50 yards of cloth a day, which sold from fifty cents to one dollar per yard. The weaving was done by hand lonni weavers, who were obtained from Long Cane, in South Carolina. The factory p.roved an unpro fitable affair. In this connection, in may be interesting to say, that during tho war of 1812, cotton was hauled from this country to Baltimore and Philadelphia, and the wagons loaded back again with goods. Wagoners are now living in the country who used to drive the teams engaged in tins service. I cannot close this communication without a word about my aged and highly respectable friend, in his character of planter. Koine of the land now in cultivation by Mr. Talbot, was old when three fourthsof Georgia was in possession ofthe Indians. Originally of a strong soil, as Wilkes county gene rally was, Mr. Talbot, by paying some attention to improvement, has not only’ preserved but much improved some of his old lands. But that to which 1 wish particularly to direct attention, is his regret that he hud not commenced hill-aide ditching long ago, before tho creeks and branches had carried off’ the best of his soil. Tho walnut, locust and other sliudc trees in his yard, planted with his own hands, have the appearance of aged trees. His servants, some as old, or older than himself, with their generations of children, grand-children, and I do not know how far to go in the great-grand children, give to the white-headed citizen the ap pearance of a patriarch ut tiio head of his tribe, lie has had born ori his place one bunded and nine children, but has kept no record of deaths. Gabnktt Andrews. XVaeliinglon, tVilke'e On, Ga , August, 1852. Our Foreign Relations. ! The issue of the pending Presidential election, j says the Baltimore American, has been placed by our adversaries so pointedly and emphatically upon the grounds of our foreign relations that it would be absurd in the extreme to doubt or to question their meaning in that regard. The Democratic Review for October, which seems to have the task of systematizing the vaguo tendeueics of Democra cy in general, and telling the Democratic masses what they moan when they are unconscious them selves of any meaning whatever, has devoted some pages to the task of enlightening the public on the great subject of “progress” and international law concerning which latter it has certain ideas of its own. For example—after giving a sort of pro gramme of principles which it holds to bo exqui sitely Democratic, it concludes the series with the following avowal to which we subjoin the accompa nying comments: “And, lastly, taking our just stand, as the great Republic, and the most enduring and powerful na tion, a rigid maintenance of the common law of the world, without which no nation can exist, that no ‘Government’ shall intcrefero whether pledged by treaty or otherwise, in the private af fairs of another nation whose ‘Government’ and people may be at variance.” “To sustain these principles it may become ne cessary for the Senate to define, by declaratory re solutions, whut this Democracy understands by the term “ Ity the Imw of A'ationsf But, until that be done, the Fxecutive must not be bound by this or that foreign interpretation of a term which each monarchy or despotism twists about it as it pleases, hitherto with perfect impunity, to prove ueiuim it has fabricated, dr justify a crime it bus already committed. By the Executive or by the Senate, or by both, we must form and maintain an American and Republican aud Democratic Law of Nations based, not on this treaty or t'other one, on a supple mentary note or secret protocol, but on the immu table principles of right againstthu mutable pre tensions of wrong.” “ That this question of our foreign relations will be the great question, to the solution of which the Ailm. /listration gs /'rank Pierce must necessarily de vote the highest intellect and most assiduous energy of the tuition, will he nuuio more plain by survey ing the present attitude of the democracies and monarchies, the necessary fato of oontigious terri tories, and the wilful neglect of imbecile tergiver sation of tho Whig Executive.” Uero we liavo, continues the American, a gener al declaration of war, or of something like it, against tlio whole civilized world, uuless they will understand the law of nations according to our construction of it. Fuss in boots was nothing to our stately uttitude, as defined by Democratic au thority. Jack the Giant Killer, must stand abash ed in our grand presence. Like his namesake, he may climb his own boan stalk and get out of the way as soon as lie can. But iu serious earnestness wo call upon the Country to look at tho portents of the times. War, war, is the outcry—war for its own sake as an en trancing excitement, and as calculated to furnish the most available sort of popularity. The Demo cracy are sadly off for heroes—they have tried to make one out of Mr. Piorco of Now Hampshire. Tho experiment, has not succeeded very well, and another war is in their estimation absolutely ne cessary to enable them to liavo a boro who will be presentable. The lTilted beaten nnd (tuba. Tho New York JUxpress publishes the following telegraphic despatch from Washington, which we give for whut it is worth : Tho Government is informed that there aro en rolled in New York ‘.1,000 men and boys for a new foray upon Cuba, whoso haunts ure well known ami places of rendezvous, and ot whose movements sud intentions the Goveannient is well iuformed. Dispatches have gone on from this city to the of ficers of the Government in New York, for a com plete and effectual execution of the neutrality luws, and for obedience to all our treaty obligations, and to tlie luw of nations. The oolloclorof theportand the linitod States District Attorney must have such despathes by mail to-tuorrow morning. The movements of our United Stales ship-of-war in New York have reference to the execution of our own law. as well as tho enforcement of treaties with Cuba. Tho President will do his duty, and his wliolo duty, inflexibly-—just as ho did bo tore— without ftmr or favor. Tho United States army and navy forces iu New York will probably bo put under the order of the U. S. District Attorney, if they are deemed necessary for the enforcement of our laws, Yours, M. Postscript. —The owners of the Crescent City, it is certain, will not remove Purser Smith, and the Government will not permit the mails to be inter fered with. The owners have made representations to the Government, showing that this is not the first time the Cuban authorities have interfered with them wrongfully. The Lobes quarrel is un changed. The Peruvian Minister has made no concessions. We dip horn the Atlanta Intelligencer, of the 14th iust., the following strange but true account of a curiosity which visited that place a few days ago: What Next I—The days of wonders have not yet pussed. On Monday morning lust, a singular and mysterious incident turned up in the Council Chamber. For several days a barrel con'nining something wrapped in coarse sack-cloth had been observed standing iu tho corner of ilia room—no one knowing from whence it came or how it got there. On Monday morning, however, an ex amination was niaiio aud its contents brought to light. Within the clovli was a large covered tin vessel, carefully w rapped at the top with a hand kerchief, aud containing the body of a child with two well formed heads, two necks, and three legs, all joined to one body. The heart and lungs bad been out out. The child if alive and entire, would weigh about sixteen or seventeen pounds. We stepped into the Council Chamber shortly alter the discovery was made, and a more wonderful spec - men of tho “ genus homo” we have never beheld. Where this singular monstrosity came from re mains a mystery. _ Ax Immense Work. —We see by the Cincinnati papers that their great tunnel is advertised for letting. The hills on the north side of the city rise about two hundred feet above the upper plain of the town, obstructing, except in ouo direction, the free access of railways to the upper part of tlit town. A company has been formed to tunnel the hill tor the benefit of the railways approaching from the Ohio side, aud doubtless will be immensely useful. Tliis tunnel will be S,OOO feet in length, and will have 2,000 feet of side cuttings. It is in tended to lay it with four tracks, and thus provide free and safe entrance into the city for six or eight different railways, which will eaeli contribute to its receipt*, and thus make it very profitable stock- Health or Charleston.—’ The Board of Health, report 6$ deaths in the city of Charleston, for the week ending the 2Sd inst. Os these, 45 were from yellow fever, 4 of remittent fever, 2 of typhoid, and lof catarrhal fever. This is one to every 68 - per sons, which is an improvement upon tho report for the previous week. Health or Savannah. —The AVyikiicrn of Tues day morning, has the sttislhctiou of announcing that “ there has been a marked improvement iu the health of the city, since the last weekly report. We are glad to hear it, for that “ Dst weekly re port” showed a fearful mortality. The jßepuo&ian bases its declaration upon the authority of” several physicians,” “druggists,” and “others.' This may all be very reliable authority, but it occurred to us, while reading the article, that the Sexton s report would have been tnueb more satisfactory ; and we hope the next one may fully confirm the opinions of those ** physicians, druggists and others.” Stoves in Tnucrr.—A few years ago a stove was unknown in Turkey. Now they are found in a great majority of the cases in Constantinople and in the dwelling houses of Hie rich. They arc mostly either American stove*, or made after American models. The steamer Illinois, which sailed from New York for Aspinwall City on Wednesday, took out 750 passengers, among whom wero Miss Catharine Hayes and suite, and 150 mechanics and laborer, for the Panama Bail Koad. The Express says that there is but little qbb in the California immigration, though it is also tine that the returning steamers bring home as many as they take out. For Ike Chronicle d- Sentinel.

Editor: —Justice to a friend, whose wheajt I exhibited at the late Fair of tne Etowah Agricul tural and Mechanical Association, requires ine to notice your remarks on a communication in your Tri-Weekly ofthe 17th, with regard to the size of the bushel in which this wheat was measured. The wheat on exhibition was measured in a half bushel bought in Augusta, and sealed by the au thorities there for my friend, Col. Wood, (who raised the wheat) and the wheat was sifted into it and struck with a straight edge, and weighed thus •measured sixty-seven ponnda; but I asked the Committee at the Fair Ground to re-measure and re-weigh, knowing the half bushel conid not be any smaller than ours, and it piroved to be some larger, I suppose, from their report. I send yon a sample of this wheat herewith, and you will discover there is some faulty grains in it caused by the rust. lam having this wheat seiv cd for the purpose of trying to have a fair bushel of wheat ('struck measure/ that will weigh seventy pounds. Already have I measured up (as farmers measure one to another) several bushels that weigh seventy to seventy two pounds. There was no trick in onr wheat.

Tho Court of Bishops, assembled at Burlington, in the ease of the presentment against Bishop Doanc, has at length concluded its labors by the adoption oftho following orders: Whereas, previous to the making of the pre sentment now before this Court, the Convention of New Jersey had nves.igated most ofthe mat ters contained therein, and had determined that there was no ground for presenment: therefore, Ordered, That as to the matters thus acted upon by said Convention, this Court is not called upon to proceed further. Whereas, the Diocese of New Jersey stands pledged to investigate any charges against its- Bishop that may be presented from any responsi ble source; and whereas, a special Convention lias been called, shortly to meet, ir. reference to the new matters contained in the presentment now before this Court: therefore, Ordered, That this Court, relying upon said pledge, do not now proceed to any further action in the premises. The orders, by which, it will bo perceived, the right and action of the Diocese of New Jersey are fully recognized, are understood to have been passed with tho dissent of only six members of the Court, viz.: Bishops Hopkins, Smith, Lee, Johns. Eastburn, and Potter. They arc understood to have regarded the Court as preeluded by the limitation ofthe cannon, from taking into consid eration the action of the Diocese. Subsequently to the passage of these orders, tho Presenting Bishops attempted to substitute for the presentment-tlras laid aside, as acted on by the Diocese, a former presentment whieli they had themselves made, (substantially ill the ’ same terms,) and withheld. This attempt was rejected by tiic Court; no member dissenting. The pro ceedings oftho Court are.to bo published, for sale. The adjournfnent was, of course sine die. — JS'cicark Advertiser. Gen.

On touching the wharf hu was welcomed by cheers, and every demonstra tion of enthusiasm, when a procession was formed, consisting of a large cavalcade of horsemen, and persons on foot and in carriages. The procession passed up through Southwark, and the General was frequently cheered at various points of tho route. On reaching the Girard House tho whole street was blocked up with spec tators und great enthusiasm was evinced. On being called to the window tho General addressed the assemblage, returning his ‘hanks for the honor conferred on him by so warm a reception, and concluded by complimenting Philadelphians •nd P ennsylvanians on that indomitable euergy which had made their city one of the first in the Union, and that gallantry which had As often dis tinguished them in defending the flag of their country.

From the West Indies. —By tho barque Prince ton, Captain Seeley, at New York, we have files of Georgetown, British Guiana, papers to the 25th of September. The Boyal Gazette of the latest date, says that the weather had been intensely hot for the previ ous two weeks, and the plantations were begin ning to sutler for want of rain. The epidemic which had been prevulentfor some timo, had abated some what, but the mortality, both among the shipping and the inhabitants, was still in excess ofthe usual average. Barbadoes papers to the loth of September, mention that tlie yellow fever, in its most virulent type, has niado its appearance among the troops of tiio garrison. There ,had been about thirty cases in the Biltli regiment, of which sixteen proved fa tal—all privates but oue, Lieut. Ormc. Several of the police force had been attacked by tlie disease, and one death among them and two uinong the ctizens, had been recordod. The Demarara Colonist states that it is also vory sickly there. The sumo is tlie case at llcrbie*, though the Gazette of that place doilies that it is the yellow fever which is prevalent. From St. Thomas. —Wo have been favored witli tile following extract from a letter dated St. Thomas, Sept. 28.—“W0 bavo laid very bad weather. On Thursday last, tho 23d, it blew a perfect hurricane. Two vessels foundered in tlie har bor, and one was wrecked ou the rocks. On Satur day nud Sunday it blew a very severe gale from tho South.

Ho tendered in payment a City Bank bill of SIOO, and ou being tofd that it was af ter bank hours, and they could not change it, ho said eooly “ give me your check—that will do just us well.” Having received it, lie ordered the bar rel to bo marked “ Mr. Johnson,” and said “ lie would send for it in a day or two.” On Saturday, the second day alter tho check of $95 and some*cents was paid by the Ocean Bunk, and soon anot her check of the same signature was presented to tlie toller for $O3l, payable toC. & A.

The imitation of the signature was so exact, that one of the firm pronounced it to be his partner’s writing. The scamp had obtained tlie check in the manner described, aud traced tho signature on one of the -ame print, repeating the process until he succeeded in getting a good copy. An officer was employed to fellow the barrel of fish, when it might be sent for; but it still remains at the store of Messrs. E. & C.

The master of the vessel had observed some threat ening weather coming on, and had prudently taken in all sail, when he suddenly found his vessel en veloped in the vortex of what is commonly known as a water spout —of water, however, he saw none, hut of the wind, or whirlwind, more than, in ul probability, he would like to see again, or seeing, be lucky enough to survive to tell the tale. His little vessel, as he describes it, was carried down into a kind of weil or vortex, and there thrown on her beam ends. She recovered her po sition ; was again thrown down in the same way. recovered herself; a third time prostrated. In the course of those three upsets, seven of the eleven persons on board were thrown off the deck into ihe water; the master himself was thrown over board a second time, after once getting on board out of the vortex. Finaily the whirlwind passed over, and of the seven overboard, five succeeded in getting on board again, but fwo, unfortunately, were drown ed—they were both sailors of the vessel; one ot the two men drowned was an elderly man : a pas senger who was supporting himself on a hen coop he had been lucky enough to find floating about, gallantly gave it up to him, seeing his age and in firmity,"and swam off to a water cask floating at a greater distance ; but the poor man could not keep iiis hold of the coop, and was drowned : the otliei man who perished was not seen from the moment he fell from the deck into the sea. Ti.e deck cargo fell or was swept overboard, the long boat was partially atove in, and the mainsaii. although it iiad been previously lowered, was much rent The vessel returned to town to repair and report damage. A brigantine coining into the harbor, very nar rowly escaped being involved in the same catas trophe. MiLTtn ix Paeto.— The Tribune compresses voiumes of argument in political economy into the followirfjj: If the aggregate of employments open to woman were doubled, her average compensation could not fail to be enhanced. Now we are buying from abroad some fifty millions worth of silks, laces, cotton, linen and woolan fabrics, artificial flowers, ite. <Sc., which are mainly the product of female labor, and paying for them with the rude, bulk} staples of agriculture, mainly prod uced by mens labor. In other words, we are hiring two millions of women to work for us in Europe, and paying them with the produce of mens latior m thit country. ... If this policy does not restrict the range ol em ployment for women in America, thereby serious, , di "inisliing her average compensation, then we cannot reaasn. And we have no more doubt than of our own existence, that a protective tariff which wonld transfer to our own shores the production of the silks, cottons, linens, laces, Ac., which we are now baying in Europe, would increase the an tiual earning* of the women of our country from £5 to 60 per cent. Successful JCkial Navigation. —A Paris corres pondent of the Washington Rcpnblic gives the follow it)).- curious account, from a small town on the frou ier of Spain, of a successful attempt at directing a balloon, made there by a Spaniard tt.micd An ton's Moles. His balloon was exceed ingly small, just powerful enough to suport him and his apparatus, and have an ascensional power b-sides. There was no car, the cord supporting tiic top of a table only, upon which the asrouant placed himself belly- wise, or as a school boy, used to w edding, would say, beliy-bumpus. His buck •,vas likewise attached to the bag by cords. Upon his leg* were two umbrellas, sot-.' speak, acting free'y upon their sticks, and in each hand was a set ofsilken screen, opening with hinges and «*- pandits or contracting at will. A rope, attached ar /Ui.d his neck, communicated with the valve of toe balloon, and around his body was a belt con taining six or seven pounds of shot for ba.last. Upon cutting himself loose from the earth, the balloon rose gently rente two hundred feet, the tmosphere being perfectly calm. The teronant tlien commenced a motion very mnch resembling swimming, ami the balloon begun to fail otf with considerable rapidity, the sp>ced increasing as the machinery of impulsion began to work freely. He went five miles in a straight line and then return ed, performing the whole ten in twenty nine minutes. On his discent the guests who had been invited to witness the experiment conducted him in triumph to his residence, where he announced annother trial for the following Sunday, He as serted that, even should the wind blow, lie conld nevertheless make head against it, by tactics simi lar to the tacking of a ship. Pirates in the Caina Seas. —Extract from a let ter from Cupt. Palmer, of the New York clipper ship Celestial, from Shanghai, at Liverpool, under date of first of October, to bis ow Hers in this city: “ I omitted to mention in my last that I was at tacked by a flefet of nine pinrica! jnuks on the coast of Hainan. The ship was between the land and the junks, wind light, and the pirates within a j q unrter of a mile of me, when t hey all bore down upon the ship, beating their gongs'and firing with I double-shotted guns. The gnus, however, were too heavily shotted, and fell short of us. The breeze providentially freshened, and 1 soon got i clear or them; bat for this, nothing eonld have i saved ns, for some of the junks had mounted six i teen guns, and had from forty to fifty men on j board.” This extract shows the necessity of a competent | naval force being kept up in that region, for the 1 protection of our rapidly increasing commerce, and | commends itself strongly to the attention of our | Government.— Balt. Amor. i Ccriocs Phenomenon. —The wreck of the Atlan- I tic on Lake Erie has not yet been raised. The Os j wego Journal saysthat Mr. Green is uoweoustruct ! ing, in Buffalo, a new sub-marine armor, which ; will enable him, if necessary, to remain under wa iter two hours, at the depth of the wreck, 1623* | feet, which will avoid the repetition of frequent ! ascents. The same paper adds the following inte resting facts: Mons. Mailiefert has made some curious ex periments to ascertain the pressure of the water at the depth of 180 feet. An empty jnnk bottle, corltea and scaled air tight, sunk beneath the surface at the above depth for seven minutes, takes in, by some phenomenon unexplained a large quantity of water. A pieeo of iron attached to a scale by a niece of wire, weighing 18 lbs., sunk at the same depth, loses 3 lbs. and 1 oz. One may judge from this the pressure sustained by a human being at the same depth. Mr. G. is sanguine that he can attach fastenings to the wreck by which it can be raised. The diving of 162j* feet below the surface is the greatest performance on record by 86 feet. Matrimonial Engagements. —Not many evenings ago an incident occurred in the matrimonial rela tions of this city that is novel for this latitude, and we therefore chronicle it, to show that a case now and then wiil occur to give evidence of our rela tionship to the land of "steady habits.” Nuptial arrangements were made for a wedding. The wine was had, the garments made ready —the music en gaged—the parson spoke for, and everything was in readiness to bring about the “consummation to he wished,” but the nice young man. The day came, and the evening of the day followed the dawn, as usual—the hour arrived; and as the young gent did not make his appearanoe the party went to dancing. Some supposed that the tailor might have disappointed him, or the shoemaker, and a party went out to discover the cause and report. They came in with no intelligence, and the company renewed the dance; and a second party was dispatched with no bettcrfortunc. It was now eleven o’clock and the supper, us it was reudy pre pared came oft'still the bridegroom did not come. In the morning it was ascertained that he had dressed himself in holiday apparel the previous evening, walked deliberately to the river, and horrible to re late—walked aboard the steamer Nc Plus Ultra nnd went down below.— Baton Rouge Gaz.

The Bark Reform.—This vessel, which cleared for New York on Friday last, with a cargo of 806 bales cotton, 60 barrels rosin, 12 casks tallow, 8 casks beeswax, s,;odry hides, 7 bales leather and 3 boxes merchandise, was wholly consumed by lire on Sunday and Monday last. It is supposed that the cotton must huve ignited previously to, or directly alter, it was stowed, as the Clay, ou Sun d y, seeing she was on firo, went alonside and tendered her assistance, but the Captain thinking that they had already succeeded in extinguishing the flames, declined tho proffered aid. After she loft, however, it appears the fire again got the mas tery, the result being that both vessol and cargo were entirely destroyed, the hands on board es caping by means of tho boats and some cotton bales. The Pratt went down the bay early yesterday morning on tho Florida bringing the nows, but found barely a trace of the wreck left. We are glad to hear that both vessel and cargo were fully insur ed. While regretting the loss which will fall on the Insurance companies, we believe there are few, if any, who will lament the fate of the boat. She was, we are afraid to say, how old , and was remark able for making the longest pussnges on record be tween the two ports. Her last voyage is still fresh in the minds of onr citizens, to many of whom her mishaps and long delay was tho cause of serious loss.— Mobile Ado ., 20<A inst.

They seemed to have forgotten the time, place and ■cession, and to have imagined themselves at a eirens.

Gazette. Money Matters in New-York. The following interesting intelligence from the monetary world In New-York, is extracted from the correspondence of the Savannah Republican : New-York, Oet. 19, 1852. — The money market remains easy in the absence of any unusual de mand. Most of tbe wants are supplied by the Banks, nnd very little strictly prime commercial paper finds its way into tbc note broker’s offices. Loans on call are affected with facility at 6 pier cent with an occasional loan of 5 per cent’. Prime pa per is readily negotiated at 6a 7 per cent. The llank returns just published, aud the course of the foreign trade, show-tlmt there will probably be no superfluity of money in tbe market until some change takes place iii the relative amounts of im ports and exports. An elabo rate statement of the condition of the forty-one Banks and Banking associations in this city, just published, based on statements mude by the order of tlie Comptroller for the 4th of Septem ber last, shows that all the Bunks are in a state of unusual expansion, and that there has been from quarter toquarter, since December last, a very largo i nercase of loaus and discounts, on a comparative ly small increase of capital. The extent of this in crease is shown in the following extract: December. March 27. June 26. Sejit. 4.

Tlie exhibition made, therefore, is less favorable thanjit would have been hud tlio rotnrns been requir ed on the day above named, when it was under stood there had been a considerable reduction in the amount of discounts in preparation for such a return. This reduction, it is presumed, still con tinues, though, front the movements in specie, it is not probable there lias been any large increase in the stock of that commodity. The rates of Exchai go continue firm at 1103* a 110>* for Sterling. A timely supply to the Exchange market has appeared in a sale of £50,000 Sterling in bills on London, on account of the Illinois Cen tral Railroad loan. A sale has been made by- Messrs.

The New York money market on Saturday con tiued easy, and money was freely obtained upon all prime securities. The imports of general mer chandize for tbe week have fallen oft' materially, and the total is considerably less than for any pre vious week since the 27th of February—amounting only to $1,431,879. The exports for tlie week to foreign ports (exclusive of specie) amount to $613,- 371, making a total of $2,490,356 since the Ist in stant. The U. S. Mail steamship Franklin, which sailed for llavro tm Southampton, on Saturday, took out $338,282 in specie. Foreign Exchange closed steady at previous quotations. At tho first Board U. S. Sixes of 1867 brought 119. The sales of Cotton in New York for tho threo days have comprised 4,700 bales, and for the week 11,700. The stock in that city is now reduced to a low figure, yet holders are'free sellers, and prices during the latter por tion of the week wero in favor of tho buyer. On some qualities prices liuve been reduced an eighth. Low to Good Ordinary was quoted at from 8% to 9%cents; Low to Good Middling 9"-(to 10% ; and Middling Fair to Fair 10% to 10% cents. The freight of Cotton to Liverpool is quoted at from three-sixteenths of a penny to a farthing, and to Havre, square bales, three-eighths of a cent per pound. —♦ „ From the N. O.

Mr. Conrad says: “In reply I have tho honor to state that recent intelligence has been received from the Eighth Military Department, and, as at present advised, 1 have no reason to believe that the services of these volunteers are at all necessary for the pro tection of tho inhabitates of Texas against the Indians. I must, therefore, decline to authorize the muster of these troops. I deem it proper to add, moreover, that volunteer companies, thus or ganized without tho sanction nnd contrary to the judgment of the authorities properly charged with the defence of the country, havo a tendency, to create hostilities, and rather to endanger the peace of the frontier than to preserve it.” Lieut. W. P. Street, U.S. A-, recently commit ted suicide at Fort McKavitt, Texas. Theßnn Antonio Ledger has the following from the Mexican Boundary Survey: “A letter from Commissioner Bartlott to tho Secretary of tiie Interior, dated at the Pirno Vil lages, July 9th, announces the completion, on the Ist of the survey of Gila river. By recent letters from Major Emory, it appears that the survey of the Bio Grande has progressed ns far down as Presidio del Norte, where Major E. now is, and that Lieut. Miekler, who was engaged in survey ing the river downward from Eiigde Pass, (which is, we believe, about 500 miles below the Presidio del Norte,) had completed the survey of üboutl3s miles, when, in conseqnence of the more difficult portion of the work between Presidio del Norte and Eagle Pass, ho was ordcrod to work upwards until he should meet Major E.’s downward parties, when they would all resume work below the Pass, and continue to the mouth of the river. Commis sioner Bartlett and his par ies have probably ar rived at El Paso before this time. The same paper says: In the yard of Maj. Calvert, at Segnin, we saw a legitimate coffee plant. His good lady detected a coffee grain in the act of sprouting and placed it in the earth. The little tree is now about three feet high, and covered with yellow blossoms and pods, of the latter of which some are nearly ma tured. It is as yet but two years old, and the only care bestowed upon this "tropical stranger has been to screen it from rude northers. Wo see the names of Col. Asa M. Lewis, Col. M. T. Johnson and Hon.

We find the following in tho San Antonio Ledger of the 7th inst: A report reached San Patricio on the 27th nit., that forty-two ludiauß attacked a small body of Mexicans a day or two previous at a mustang-pen some twenty miles West of that town. The In d ans killed eleven Mexicans and the Corpus Christi and Laredo mail carrier. The Indians had some fifty horses in their possession. Crops.—The Brazos Delta says: On the 29th September, 1852, fifteen hands pick ed cotton on Mai. Moore’s plantation, and averaged 820 pounds to the hand." The foremost pickers were; Phil, 769 pounds; Harriet, 672; Calvin, 657; Mahuiy 600. A correspondent of the ludianola Bulletin, from Gonzales county says: We are picking the best crop of cotton that has ever been raised in the county ; many of the farm ers boast that they will pick 4000 ponuds per acre. The average crop in the county will be not less than 1500 pounds per acre. The Brazorit Planter of the 13th, says: Las week we made a hurried trip around a por tion of the county and visited some thirty planta tions. According" to the information which we have been able to collect, crons in this county will be fer better than in any other portion of Texas. Our cotton planters will make at least one bale to the acre. Sugarcane never looked better. The prospect for the largest crop of sugar which has ever been made in this county is almost certain. The Nacodoches Chronicle of the 4th inst. says: Since our last issue we have paid a hurried visit to Cherokee county, and must take occasion again to allude to the abundant crops everywhere made. The cotton Is fine, and turning out weil. In the Brazoria Planter of the 13th we find the following: The hostilities of the Indians seem to have broken out afresh.

Vermont.—i Governor Fairbanks lias appointed the 2d of November, the day of the Presidential election, for a second trial to elect a member of Congress in the third congressional district of Vermont. The vote stood at the first trial:— Alvah Sabin (Whig) S,SIT Henry Adam 5..,.,..., 3,892 A. J. Rowell ~..2,894 Scattering 22 Mr. Sabin failing of his election by 447 votes. At the next trial, a plurality is only necessary for a cboiee. Bock Slide.—The Hudson River Railroad Com pany are engaged in blasting rock at a point about a mile below KLinebeck in tront of the elegant coungant country seat of Wm. Kelley, Esq. On Thursday last an immense blast was fired off about 2 o'clock, P. M., which we witnessed. It had ef fect to loosen a part of the rock lying a few yards South which was carefully watched. About 8 o’clock in the evening the whole mass came down, and buried the whole track from 50 tolOOlectin length. The obstruction was removed in the course ot the night, and no difficulty was ex perienced exeept the necessity for transferring the passengers in the np train to the down train, and vice versa. The trains were running as usual the next morning. The down train ran over a cow near Dobb’s Ferry, but continued cn without in terruption. Such carelessness should be thoroughly investigated, and punished. —Journalof Commerce.

Additional by tbe Europa. Great Britain. —The principal intelligence of interest by this arrival is relative to the Arctic ex pedition. ’ A telegraphic communication from Aberdeen, in the L- noon Times of the 9th inst., says that tlie Prince Albert arrived there on the evening of the 7th inst., bringing no accounts of Sir John Frank lin. * The Prince Albert wintered at Baffin’s By. searched Prince Regent’s lniet, discovered aetiai'i nel on the West of Nor|ji Somcr-et, traversed it witn sledges, and round by Port Leopold, but found no traces of the mi-sing ex;-edition. She got as far North as Bocchy Head; on tbe 18th of August last she fell in with the North Star. The expedition' had passed up Weliii,clou Chan nel early in the sea-on. The channel wag open and quite free from ice. The Pri-iee Albert left the ice ou the 23J of August, and brought des patches from the North Star. The officers and - crew were all well. The despatch adds tiiat the Davis’ Straits fishery was a failure. L’pto August only sixfi-h ha.l been - taken between all the ships. Tne Regalia, of Kir- ! caldv, had been lost ; also an American whaler, name not stated. • On tbe 7th mat., accounts were received in Lon don of numerous casnalities to shipping on the sth, l i ivolving a heavy loss of life; thegaleis d.serib- i ed by the seamen who were caught in it as most, terrific in its violence and disastrous in its effects. The storm did not prevail from one point, but shifted about from S. S. W. to N. N. fiY., and was accompanied by heavy rain, and at intervals by thunder and lightning. Considerable doubt seems to exist respecting the genuineness of the specimens of gold which it is alleged were found in Caffrtland. France. —As one of the signs of the coming Em pire. au extraordinary issue of tlie military journal, Le M-miteur de l’Armee, lias been published. It co .tains the programme of this coronation of the Emperor Napoleon and tbe Empress Josephine, as drawn up by M. de Scgnr who was grand master of the ceremonies on that occasion in 1804. A convention for an international telegraph sys tem between France, Belgium aud Prussia, was concluded at Paris on tbe 4th inst. It is said that tlie French Government has made application to that of England for the restoration of Napoleon’s will, which remains in tho posses sion of England. Holland. —A statement of tlie Dutch finances, which has just been published, gives a very favora ble view'of their position. The budget’for 1858 shows an estimated surplus of 1,610,944 francs of revenue over expenditure. Italy.— ThePontifieiul Government have agreed to pay half a million of florins annually to Austria, for the occupation of some of tho legations by- Austrian troops. General Gemeau, commander of the French troops at Rome, has returned to Paris. Tlie trial of tho Ammazzarelli, which, during the Republic, had its head quarters at Sinigali, has just been concluded at Rome. Os 81 persons who were indicted, the Consults has condemned twen ty-two to death. Destructive floods have happened the past week in Piedmont. A diligence containing passengers floated down the river of tlie Levant, und had to bo anchored for four hours to a tree. Austria. —According to the New Prussian Ga zette, Austria is raising large additions to its force; and some of the papers even hint of coercive men sures toward Prussia, on account of her obstinacy on the Zollvcrein question. The Emperor has re sumed It’s travels in Croatia, l.as been at Gratz, Marburg, and Agram, and is now at Carlstadt. The correspondence oftlie London Times states, respecting Georgey, tiiat although the report that he had been taken to tlie fortress of Cufstein iu the Tyrol was unfounded, yet two months since the idea of removing him from Carinthiti was enter tained. Travellers frequently stop at Klageufurt to make his acquaintance, and the sure consequence of doing so is to reeeivo au unmistakeablo hint to move on without delay. Tho Times goes on to say that Georgey, so far from enjoying a pension from Austria, is often liurd put to it for tlie means of subsistence. A fearful disaster took place recently, on the oc casion of a high Jewish festival at Kolnied, in Ga licia. Some thousand Jews were assembled in the Synagogue, when a cry of fire was raised in the wo men’s gallery. In tho rush that followed to the narrow staircase, many were thrown down, and thirty-six ladies, several of whom were of high rank’, were crushed to death. The fire was the work of a gang of thieves, who availed themselves of the eoufusion to snaton the pearl and diamond or naments worn by many of the ladies. Turkey. —A letter from Constantinople states that the Sultan is seriously indisposed, and that tlia event of his death is publicly spoken of. Tho negotiations between England nnd the Porte, respecting the right to armed vessels of passing the Bosphorous, progress slowly. Persia. —Letters from Tuuris, of August 28th, bring the news of an attempt to assassinate the Shan of Persia. While he was hunting, tour men approached him under pretence of presenting a petition, which he refused to accent. Two ot the men then seized his horse by tho bridle, while the other two discharged two double-barrel pistols at tho Shall, who received three shots in the thigh mid one in the mouth. He was able, however to keep his assailants at Bay until hissuitc cnnie np, by whomdwo of the assassinsjyero literally cut to nieces, while the gllier-two were taken alive. They slated that they had no accomplices, but belonged ti the order of Bubis, and hud sworn to avenge their chief, who had perished some time since. At la-' accounts, the Shah, was expected to recover, and two of the bullets bad been extracted. Cape of Good Hope.—The dates from Capo of Good Hope are to Aug. 29, several days later than received by previous mail. It is stated, on rumors brought by natives, that the Caffre chief, Kreli, has retired from Ids “Great Place,” into the coast country, 150 miles distant where there are extensive forests suited to conceal ment, and pasturage. There had been several skirmishes in other parts of tho district, between tho burghers and Calfres. Miscellaneous. —Madame Jenny Lind Gold sclunidt lias purchased a house in Dresden, and will reside in future, in that city. She does not intend to sing publicly during the ensuing Win ter but is reported to have said that her next pub lic appearance will be in England. Conflagration at Sea.—By the arrival of the Jordesou yesterday from Cuba, intelligence has been received of the total destruction by fire of the English vessel Helen, bound from Paris to Liver pool. The vessel was laden with a cargo of gener al merchandise, among which wero 140 tons Indian rubber, and about 9 o’clock on tho morning on the 6th of August in latitude 30 dog. 30 min. North lon. 52 deg. West, a quantity of smoko was ob served to arise from below the deck, and fire was immediately afterward discovered in the after part of tho ship immediately below the cabin. All the exertions made to extinguish the fire were ineffectual, owing to the inflammable nature ofthe cargo, and the vessel wiiSentirely consumed, the crew and the only passenger on board, Mr. Wallace, having previously left in the longboat and gig. For 10 days these unfortunate persons wero buffeted about on the ocean, and suffered severely from the boisterous weather and the scarcity of provisions, when on the ovemng of the 16th of Augnst they .espied a sail. They were perceived by the Jordeson, the master of wliioli, Mr. Vena bles, bore down to their aid, and picked them up in lat. 82 deg. 46 min. N., long. 61 W. Their sufferings, however, did not altogether end on their being got. on board the Jcrdeson. The latter’s provisions, owing to the addition ofthe Helen’s men and a somewhat protracted voyage, ran short, aud all on board were put ou a very small allowance, at onetinio almost next to no thing; indued, hut fora supply which was ob tained from tho Ocean Wave (homeward hound,) they would have been all starved before they reached the Channel. Some rats were caught ou board, and being cooked, were devoured with much eagerness. TheY intents of the grease pot were also consumed, and,indeed, everything tliut ould sustain life. The Iron Interests or the United States. The annexed interesting article from the Boston Journal deserves to be universally read. The iron interest of the Unitod States may be truly termed a national one, as well on account of its very gen eral production as tho universality of its consump tion. It is also a national want, tho ability to supply which exists wi.hin ourselves and would be most happily demonstrated, were the Tariff so modified as to afford reasonable encouragement to the domestic industry of tho country -.—Baltimore American. “There are few minerals more widely diffused, and none of greater value than Iron. The ore ot this metal is found in almost every State. though Pennsylvania is emphatically the greatest iron pro ducing State of the Union- Other States, how ever contain the ore in no less thun dance. It has been estimated that in Ohio, 1200 square miles are under-laid with iron, which tract is calculated to contain 4,080,000.0u0 tons. In Maryland, Ten nessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, and other States, the ore is found in abundance. And yet with all the lavish bounty of nature in tins respect, we annually import not far from $10,000,000 worth of iron in the pig or nmnfaetured by rolling! Great Britain is the greatest iron producing country of the world, her annual production being estimated at 8,000,00 D tons. Five years ago the United States produced the same amount. In 1850, according to the census returns, only 5(54.75 5 tons were made. This decline in production isin a great measure attributable to the reduction of duty under the free-trade tariff of 1840. The cheap ness of foreign iron in our markets sets at defiance the competition of our own iron and manufac turers. Some idea may be formed of the great loss which has resulted from the abandonment of the policy of protecting our own producers, by an examination of the statistics of the iron manu facture of Pennsylvania. There ore 304 blast furnaces and bloomeries in the State, with a capacity for making 550,050 ton-4. per annum. In 1850, they made but about 200,000 tons. The number of forges and rolling mills in the State is 200, with a capacity lor making 224,650 tons per annum. Their actual product for 1847, waa 2* 2,- 727 tons. In 1849 the production had fallen off to 136,853 tons. The capital invested in the above mills amounts to not tar from s3o*ooo,ono, and the deterioration must be at least 50 per cent. Proba bly not half so many laborers are now employed in the manufacture as were employed in 1547. These facts show the extent of the existing depression in the iron business ofthe country. It is dmibtless a matter of surprise with many, how it is that so heavj, tuul jet ooatuarativ.l;. ( cheap an article as iron <an he produced in Great ] Britain and sold in this* country, after paying duty, | freight, and commissions, at a h ss price than it can ! he afforded from our own mills. The answeris (ds vious. We have the skill, the fie:, tire faculties . tor reaching a market, and every other exquisite I for the production of iron which is to be h.und abroad, except cheap labor. I n tbor ei t -rs largely into the process of iron niakitur, end laborere'can be obtained hvthc master' of Scotland at from 21 to 38 cell's a day. In England from B2to 48 cents per day is paid. In this country the wag sos com mon laborers is from 75 to $1 pet day, the average being about 80 gents a day. Here is a difference of about ino per cent, in favor ol the British manu facturer, enabling him to produce iron at a cost of only about $lO pier ton. which cannot be umnu fact’ured here for perhaps twice that sum. It follows that without judicious protection or n great reduction in the wages of the labor, the iron interest, like many other brunches of manuf leture, must continue depressed. The desired protection was accorded to tiie iron business by the tariff of 1842—a tariff which was emphatically a Whig measure, and which was repealed by the Democra cy. The latter party is emphatically re-ponsible for the existing depression with the manufactures. Here then we have a broad line separating thetwo parties, and a distinct and important issue in the present canvass. The Whig, aim to encourage the iron interest and every other branch cf domestic industry—the Democrats seek by free trade to throw our markets open to the competition of the world, thus breaking down our manufacturing j Industry, or reducing the wages or the laborer to ; a par with the starvation price in Europe. Those ] who contend that there is no important issue be- ! tween the two great parties will do well to ponder upon these facts.” • The Tunnel Machine —The boring machine at Hoosae Mountain has done nothing since our Ix't notice, several weeks since.

The bal ance of the counties not yet reported, 15 in num ber, will increase this gain, but will probably leave the democratic majority on Supreme Judge nnd Commissioner of Public Works of from 13,000 to 15,000. i’he Whig gain on the Congress ticket is larger than that on Stato officers, und the Democratic majority on their ticket in the whole State will be about 6000. _ The Congressional election lias resulted in tho choice of 11 Democrats, 7 Whigs ahd 2 Free Sob ers.

Oxygenated Hitters.—The following testimonia is from a New York paper: An intimate friend of ours has for years been afflicted with all the accumulated evils of a confirmed dyspepsia—a complaint which he character sticaliy describes as “ Pro tean in its forms, and Pandorean In its effects.” He was nearly unfitted for mental and bodily exertion—life, at times, being an almost insupportable burthen.

In the leading articles th re is an abundant supply, except, per- J hape, Mdaaies, the stock of which is light, and prices are firmly maintained. In other articles, we note no change worthy of rem u*k, and Would refer to our quotations, as af fording a correct index to prices. GRAIN.—In Wheat and Corn there is no change. The demand is confined to the wants of the city Mills und con sumers, and the transactions arc limited. BACON—The stock is ample, and as the deutand is not large at this late stage of the season, prioes are barely sus tained. EXCHANGE—Sight Checks on the North continue to be •old by the Banks at ft $ ct. prem. FREIGHTS.—We note no chango ui the rate for freights. The River continues in good condition, and steamers make their regular trips. Correspondence </ the Charleston Owner. Liverpool Market. LIVERPOOL, Oct S.— Messrs. Editors: —On the Ist in stant, the date of our circular udvices per America, our cot ton market was extremely animated, and the business of the day amounted to 15,000 bales, closing at prices in favor of sellers. On Saturday the buying continued spirited, und sales of 1*2,000 were reported, holders obtaining very full rates. Monday’s operations were estimated at 15,000 bales, all classes buying with confidence, and in some instances a partial advance in price of current qualities of American was realised. The steamer’s advices were considered con flicting in their character, and tended to check the extent of business on Tuesday, as well as to cause a little irregu larity in some quarters, the sales being confined to GOOO bul a, at rates scarcely so extreme. Wednesday’s transac tions were characterised by more firmness, and with sales of 8000 bales; the market closed steadily. Yesterday the demand was limited to 7000 bales, with offerings more free, at the same time holders acting with confidence, al though slight concessions have been made to effect sales In particular instances. Os the subs reported above, large parcels of other than American descriptions arc included, and which have principally engaged J,he attention of spec ulators. We coutinue our las* quotations, remarking that the run has been on good staple cotton of the lower grades, which are now relatively higher in value than the better classes and with which the early arrivals of the new crop will favorably compete, especially in the absence of a more extended export iuquiry. The total talcs of the week amount to 81,750 bales, of which speculators have taken 81,190, mid exporters 6060, und include 60,49i> American, of which 24,400 are to specu lators, and 1270 to exporters. The import for the same time is 24,784 bales, of which 169 are American. PRICES TO-DAY. Fair. Middling, Ordinary. New Orleans, 6Xd. 6X<l>(ft&%d. 4Xd.(ftsXd. Mobile, t>Xd. &Xd.(ftsXd. 4Xd.(ftsXd. Atlantic, 6 d. 6Xd.<ftsXd. 4Xd.(ftfiXd To-day the market wears a quiet aspect, with estimated sales of dOUO bales, (2000 speculation uud export,) offerings free and prices just steady. The report brought by the Europa, of a return of fine weather, in a measure retrieving the injury occasioned by the late storms and floods, giving promise to a yield equal to last season’s crop, under which influence, coupled with receipts at the South much in excess of last year, and which caused rates to recede from previous quotations, are causes to which must be attributed the diminished inquiry here for the past few days. Beyond eng nde ing more cautious ac tio.i, we cannot report any altered feeling, nor do we see how such can well ensue, so long us the Same features exist in regard to consumption, stock and supply. The crop question is and must remain open for some time, but as the seusou advances and the prospects are more or less favorable -o likewise will the advices by each successive steamer af fect our market. We are not so sanguine, ho a ever, that a curtailment of supply would enhance the present, value in inything like the same ratio that an overabundant produc tion would have a contrary effect. The last received American accoun s have caused buyers of Goods and Yarns in the Manchester market to pause in their operations. The Bombay advices to band in the ear ly part of the week were, however, considered favorable and altho gh inactivity at present prevails as far as new . engagements are concerned, a l&rgc business has trauspii - ed, wnich i ute placed Spinners ami Manufacturers in a posi tion to maintain their ground with considerable firmness, and in particular instances advanced currency lias been established. A growing feeling that bad harvests in many puitsuf tiie Contimi)t will not only curtail our supplied thence, but draw from Black Sea ports much of what usual ly iiuda its way to this country, has imparted a firm tone to our Grain market, and during the past few days there ha? be* n more inquiry for Win at, resulting in an a ivance o. id. to •&>{. in ms. for good qualities ts Baltimore an Philadelphia parcels.
