THE LET-ALuNB POLICY,
riic Boston Courier, received this morning,
)ias an article of a column and a hall under the
editorial head with this caption, the whole
scope of which is to prompt Mr. Tyler to
purchase Federal support by sacrificing his
own to Federal principles. The vail has Iteen
already lifted in the National Intelligencer, to
show the new point on which the President is
to be driven. The Massachusetts organ of
Federalism now boldly tells Mr. Tyler that be
must “earn” Federal support by abandoning
“Virginia metaphysics” and “free trade phi
losophy,” and fulfil the promises of Whiggery
to the New England manufacturing interest.
This leaves no doubt but that even Mr. Web
sier’s friends concurwith those of Gov. Davis,
and that both have resolved to force the pro
lective tariff before Congress again, as the all”
of the Bank power. We make some extracts
from the Boston Courier’s article, and annex
that of this morning’s Intelligencer, with the
letter on which it is founded, as indicating the
new departure about to be taken by the ene- j
mies of the Democracy. I’he sentence in
italics at the end of the letter; shows that the
ultra Tariff is now to be liie pioneer of the
Bank. •
From die Boston Courier.
Hitherto there has been too much proof of
infernal dissension between the leaders, too
much proof of servility to the powers that be,
and of selfish and dangerous ambition in some
of the members, but there has been no proof
of that singleness of spirit which true patrio
tism prompts, joined to that comprehensive
ness of policy which the necessities of the
country now call loudly for. There a r e those
among us who think that Mr. Tyler is about
to manifest, both of these Qualities. A few
sanguine Whigs still hope that they may find
a jewel whereas yet they have seen only a
stone. It is time that this gentleman should
do something to justify their expectations, or
that they should give them up. For it cannot
but strike everyone with force, that the pres
ent condition of the party is a state of paraly
se, from which, if it would avoid final disso
lution, it should be drawn forthwith. And
those who will contribute nothing immediately
to draw it. out, ought to he set down, without
qualification, as in the class of persons who
wish to see it die. If the President isdeler
tnined to be what his sycophants ca-1 him; |
truly the captain of the ship he nominally 1
commands, let him show his capacity for the j
post at once. The Whig party would sos
many reasons he rejoiced to avoid, by supnort
ing a third person, who should prove himself
worthy, *h danger of dividing between their
ancient leaders. And tbe people, who care
little for party names, would be delighted to
trace in beneficial results the efforts of the
President in the service of his conntrv. Bat
n Mr. Tyler does mean, in his present position,
to make himself head of the Whig party, m
fact as well as in name; if Mr. Tyler does !
mean to earn the gratitude of the people by i
restoring the prosperity they have lost, he ■
must bestir himself more vigorously than lie ;
has hitherto done, and above ail, he must at I
once explode the absurdity of those who seem I
now in Ins person to advocate ivliat may well j
be denominated the let alone policy.
Now is the day ol trial. And is now then
a tune when the chief officer can turn round
upon the party and say that he was put hi ins j
place in order to stand still ? Is his policy to j
bn the very same let alone policy which dis- j
graced his predecessor of the opposite party! i
Then how should it be expected that the poo- !
pie will not go back to their old favorites, i
when they see nothing lias been gained by the I
change ! kst Mr. Tyler, who, as yet, lias no
hold ol consequence upon any party or upon
tin* popular feeling, by reason of Ins peculiar
mole of reaching power, reflect upon this
well. If he desires to get such a hold, it must
be by something more man a let alone policy.

The Tariff question is one which will cause
grea’ trouble, but for my life I cannot see the
wisdom, patriotism, or constitutional injunc
tion or inhibition which requires the people of
tiie United Slates to admit the productions of
all the world, free of protective restrictions of
any sort, into her markets, whilst all the world
burdens with excessive protective and dis
criminating duties all her productions, crude
or manufactured. The true interest of Amor
iea is to have free trade ; but that is not free
trade winch burdens with duties, excessive
and inordinate, all we have to sell abroad, and
receives into our markets foreign productions
tree, or nearly so. This is vassalage, not free
dom ; and, as 1 love freedom, 1 mean to resist
it. If F.agland and France expect to have
the privilege of selling their woollens and cot
tons, silks, &-e. m this country at tac moderate
duty of ’dO per cent, or iess, they must allow
us to soil m their markets our flour, our to
bacco, itc. at the same or similar rate, or the
first principles of nature must require us to
exclude their productions, or so tax them as
to raise up, by the protection, producers of
those articles among ourselves, with whom
wo can exchange upon equal terms one kind
of product for another.

WHIG PRINCIPLES.
At a late Whig meeting in Faneuil Hall.
Boston, Abbot Lawrence being called to the
chair, made a short speech, trom the report of
which in the whig papers, we take tire follow
ing extracts, viz:
“It had been said tint the whigs had no
common ground on which they couid stano
and act. e He denied the statement. Th\v
bad a broad and noble piatform which they
bad Aung occupied, and trom which the. could
never be driven: namely, discrimination in
laying duties and protection of labor.
* * * *
“ Mr. Lawrence alluded to the late act ot
Congress in relation to the revenue, which
was soon to go into opera'ion. It was an ex
periment —a highly important one—on the
occupations and lab r of men throughout the
country, bv means of a horizontal tariff. No
specific duties were to be preserved, but ad
valorem duties had become the order of the
dav. He would address his remarks particu
lar! v to tht mechanics an I laborers ot Boston
to the workers in leather, in iron, in steel,
in furs, in wood, &.C., and wished them to ex
amine the subject for themselves, and then
eav, if they were willing to cease their pro-
itective iabors, and see their workshops a'uan
doned, or transferred to Manchester and I<eeds.
It this great principle of discrimination in lay
ing duties should be given up, the best inter
ests of the country would be prostrated, and
many of our worthy citizens impoverished,
lor the sake of trying an experiment.”
Senator Choate on the 6ame occasion, made
a speech from which we ext ract the following,
viz:
“ With regard to protection for American
(industry, we would say that our mechanics
and inanufac'urers must look to the whigs
and to the vvhigs alone. Enough iiad been
seen in the course of the extra session to
prove that. It was by whig policy only that
any branch of native industry could be pro
jected by a tariff. Now Hampshire, Missouri
and South Carolina could not take care of us :
neither would the locofocos of Massachusetts.
He had read the late State Address of that
party; and the sentiments which it avowed,
seemed to be written by a most unfilial hand*
striking at the very root of life. If its prin
ciples should be carried into operation, we
should soon see the American frigate Consti
tution, perhaps, riding in our harbor by an
English cable and an English anchor; and
even tbe haliards by which the stars and
str pes would Le hoisted at her peak would j
bapiy be of Russian manufacture !”
fio, the “common ground” on which the i
whigs can “stand and cut,” is a protective !
tariff. It is taxing all for the benefit of a few. j
This is Undoubtedly genuine whigism of the
“ Boston stamp.”

WHAT CONGHEBS MUST DO.
The National Intelligencer, not being well
satisfied with the doings of the people, betakes
itself to Congress to do something more to its
taste. It opens its columns to day with an
account of what Congress will tour weeks
lienee undertake to accomplish for the benefit
of the people; and if the organ, that speaks
for the majority in advance, is to be believed,
tfie resolution is taken “to head” the people
as well as Captain Tyler. We are told that
“ the lirst session of this Congress, though an
arduous one, and fruitful of valuable rneas
fires,” “refrained entirely from engaging in
the general business ol legislation !” So the
National Bank, National Debt, Distribution of
National Domain, increase of the Tariff, Na
tional Bankrupt Jaw, &c. &c. were only small
samples of the general legislation which is to
fellow, not general legislation itself. We had
supposed that I lie new tax bill was really
meant as “general business,” and so much in
earnest as to stand for one season to see wheth
er it wotild provide sufficient r.-venue for the
Wants of the Government. But now we are
‘.<>ld that it was a mere “expedient.” (not to
supply tiie wants of government, as was pre
tended in the proclamation convening the ex
tra session, and the speeches of the Whigs
duriu>r the debate ori the tax bill,) but for
“ supplying obvious defects in tlie system, un
til it can undergo that general revision which
devolves upon Congress at tbe ensuing ses
sion.”
Ho the extra session was simply called to
remedy “obvious defects” in the compromise
act, winch, although the country had got on
with it very well for nearly ten years, could
not lie eiiuured for tlie few months iit’erven
ing between May and December ! We give
the whole passage from the National Intelli
gencer touching this new movement in regard
to iho tariff that the public may see the drift
of it.
“ There is one object however, cannot be
avoided, which must lie acted upon, and which
may of ltselt be expected to occupy a great
ie.il of tune, because of the many interests
which it affects, and the infinity of details
connected with it. We refer, of course, to
tiie revision and permanent adjustment of the
system of duties upon imports. The amend
atory revenue act, passed at the last session,
was only an expedient for suoplying obvious
defects m tlie system until it. can undergo that
general revision which devolves upon Con
cress at the ensuing session. In June next,
he duties established under the act of lddd,
rc-acli their lowest point; a point too low to
leave a sufficient revenue, as in eo'n’empJalion
of that act, for defraying liie ordinary expen
ses of the government. A thorough revision
of the whole tariff system \Vili become neces
sary; and be intelligence of tiie representa
tives of the peep e,’ as well as their ability to
|i> si|K)iie particular interests for considerations
of public national weak, will be put to the test.”
When it is considered that the tax bill of
the extra session carried every article, except’
ica and coffee, up to the maximum of the com
promise act, and that the whig majority pledg
ed i self in an amendment to tiie distribution
bill will not go to beyond the limitation of 20
per cent, ad valorem m the compromise act*
this new promulgation of the intention to make
“a thorough revision of 11 le tariff system,”
is a clear indication that defeated federalism
has resolved to evoke the laid demon of a pro
tective tariff, to agitate the country again,
and revive the power which it once held in the
northern portions of the Union under its in
fluence. From the kite indications at Boston,
and other sections under the manufacturing
interest, we have no douat that the givings
out of the Intelligencer are but notes of pre
paration to an attack on the principles of the
compromise act. Desperate cases require
desperate remedies.

Washington, November TO.
There is not much of political moment stir
ring. Some of the members of Congress have
already reached the city, nong them Messrs.
M<niton, of Louisiana, and Mr. Fulton, of
Arkansas. All is conjectural as to the course
of policy which will he recommended by the
Executive. From many indications, I am
persuaded that Mr. Tyler’s intention is to
dismember and prostrate Whiggcry. and then
by falling back to some extent on his old prin
ciples, to attract a suificient portion of the
Democracy to his standard to ensure hi? elec
tion. While lie is using Mr. Webster in car
trying out his purpose, the latter is making
hay while the sun shines, and busily engaged
in acquitting himself of various obligations,
pecuniary and other, by the appointment ot
relatives and friends to office. ‘I on will have
noticed the recent change in the editorship ol
the .Madisonian. This is evidently but a icm
porary arrangement, as Mr. Jones, the new
. incumbent, is even of less intellectual calibre
than Alien, and totally unquahfied to conduct
an official organ in the f ice of the opposition
that may be expected by the present Admin
istration. There is good reason to sup, ose
that when the transition stage, to which I have
before alluded, is passed Mr. Duff Green
will be the real it not, the ostensible editor of
ihe organ. In the interim, John Jones will
answer very well tor a nom de guerre, as in an
article recently copied by the Madisonian, we
were informed that to his many other aceom
plishments the present Secretary of War ad
ded that of a ready writer, having during one
political campaign furnished most of tlie edito
i nais for seven newspapers in the western part
!.f New York. Any deficiencies therefore of
I Mr. John L). Jones will be more than made up
by the tact and talent of “John Jones ot the
War Cilice.”

UNITED STATES BANK NOTES.
\\ e recently alluded to the attempts that
have been made since the failure of the Uni
-1 ted States Bank, by the parties indebted to it,
to depreciate the liabilities of the institution,
| in order that they may profit by tiie fall in the
discharge of their obligations to the bank.—
For this purpose a powerful combination was
‘got up by the former conductors of the Bank
land their friends, having in view the sole ob
ijec‘ ot discharging their debts to the Bank, at
: the expense ol the deluded holders of its lia
bilities. This has been backed by other par
ties for purposes of speculation. In illustra
tion of this position, we will give the recent
i movement in U. S. Bank notes. It is well
known that during the past week the circula
ting bills of tfie bank rose from 47 cents dis
count to 65 a /O cents on the dollar in two
days—a rise ot 25 or 50 per cent I his fact
was sufficient to show that a corner had been
got up in it. At the time of the suspension of!
the l nited Slates Bank it is well known that!
tiie Girard Bank was the onlv instituti -n in
Philadelphia that heid none of its bills. Its j
Cashier, Mr. Lewis, plumed himself for his i
sagacity a good deal upon the occasion, and j
used strong efforts to raise his own institution
j at the expense ot the fallen monster A clique
I was then formed with certain parties in this i
[City, Mr. Biddle, Reuben M. Whitney, and j
others, in Philadelphia, with the National j
G izatie, remoddleJ for tiieir organ, to decry
the liabilities, and heavy sales of the notes at
60 a9O days were made in both places. It
then appeared that the Girard Bank was in
possession of 5 to <5400,000 of the notes of the
L. S. Bank. As the Girard had none of these
notes at the date of suspension, she must either
have acquired them by purchase, or by special
deposite, from individuals having obligations
maturing at the U. S. Bank. These notes
were lent out to brokers, who* by throwing
them upon the market, caused, in connection
with the recent efforts making by the clique, j
a (all to fitty cents on the dollar in the value
of the notes. At this rate, Mr. Biddle pur-|
chased and paid into Lie Bank over SIOO,OOO
and others, making $300,000, paid in on the !
last assignment within a short time. Not- j
withstanding their payments, the bills contin j
ued at a low rate until one day th s week,
when tbe Girard Bank called in the notes J
lent. TANARUS, e result was that the notes were
not to be had, and the price rose 20 per cent, j
m a day, and would have gone up to par, but j
the borrowers of the notes became panic |
struck, and two brokers went to Philadelphia !
to ask for time to buy them up. This was ;
grained, and the matter being kept quiet, the j
bills have remained firm. The object is now
to buv up the notes quietly as last as possible,
but the profiability is that the notes are not to
be had. This operation in the notes has had
a powerful effect upon the stock of the Bank,
both here and in Europe, as when its va ue is (
discussed, the great depreciation in the notes
is appealed to as conclusive evidence that!
nothing remains to the stockholder. The I
terrible destruction of property that has taken
place, through the means of that institution,
is without parallel in the history of commer
cial transactions, and not the hast singular of
the lea'ures of this case, is the fact that the
very men who caused this wide spread ruin
should be al'ovved, now that the institution
has ceased to exist as a hank, to make such
wanton havoc with tho property of holders ot
the liabilities and the stock of the bank.
The capital of the bank was $35,090,000;
of this $20,000,000 arc he'd abroad. The
concerned in tiie notes, assisted by the move
ments of a well known h >use in Wall street,
to whom we have frequently alluded, and who
being agents for a large number of foreign
stockholders have sold the stock under trust
m the market, in order both to use the money
and to make a profit by buying in at less rates,
have combined to depress tfie stock within the
last ninety days full $29 per share, and there
by annihilated $7,000,000 of property in order
to put a paltry sum in their own pockets.—
According to the return of the bank last, year,
there were 52,076 shares, vamed at $5,207,-
600, held by females arid orphans. There
fore, by tiie operation alluded to, $1,041,520
has been taken out of the pockets of these
helpless individuals. Who can contemplate
without horror, the terrible mass of human
Wretchedness growing out of these heartless
acts I By the last accounts from F.riglaud
there was a strong movement making, to
bring the bank agents there to an account for
the manner in which the property has been
managed.
DEATH OH i HE VENERABUE BISHOP
MOORE.
A deep sensation has pervaded the commu
nity for several clays, caused by the rumored
danger and then ihe death of this aged and
good man. He died in Lynchburg on Thurs
day, of hemorrhage of the lungs; a complaint
to which lie was subject. We understand that
he was seized while in bed and alone with
coughing, and arose to call aid, but fell in the
attempt, and when found was much exhausted j
and bieedmg freely at the lungs. His remains !
reached tHe city on Saturday evening by the
canal, and on yesterday were taken, after the
iast mournful rites of mourning hearts had
been offered, to the narrow borne which close
all the toils, the griefs, tlie hopes and the joys
of poor, frail, perishing humanity at last.
Probably no single cle f ath has ever caused
art equal sensation in this city: and it is an
improving reflection to feel that the virtues and
worth winch endeared this aged man to the
whole community around him, were manifest
ed only in the meek and peaceful character
of a Christian Minister. There was no glare
and pomp of the warrior’s martial deeds—no
sparkle of the statesman’s schemes—none of
the part san’s cunning and craft- hut he won
his place in ten thousand hearts by the mild,
pure, unostentatious virtues of asp rit without
guile, and a lile adorned with the best traits
of the Christian Faith. He was long spared
to the many who loved him ; and now that in
die midst of a green old age he closes a spot
less and honored life, and his memory is made
precious in so many weeping hearts, let those
who in the unknown ways of the Divine
Power are yet spared a brief space longer,
gather from the grave of this aged man those
precepts of charity and truth which made liis
life'cairn, happy and useiul, and his death a
season of mourning in the city of his home.—

The Democratic Republican Party of Geor
gia, consisting of Members of the Legisia
lature ami visitors to the seat of Government,
convened in the p pular branch of the Genera;
Assembly on Friday evening, at early candle
light. No previous call tor a meeting had
been made. It was a simultaneous movement
on the part of the true representatives of the
people and such of their constituents as were
present, which the late glorious Democratic
triumphs throughout the Union iuvoluntar.ly
impelled them to make, for the purpose of ex
changing congratulations and hailing the glo
rious dawn ot a political regeneracy, vv Inch
we hope to see shining brighter and brighter
until it reaches the perfect day.
‘die meet mg was organized by calling to the
Chair, Col. Henry G. Lamar, ot Bibb, and ap
pointing F. H. Smford. Esq. Secretary. After
which the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, of Mjscogee,
was loudly called for, who promptly responded
to the call, and addressed the assembly m an
able and energetic speech. He was followed
by the Hon. Edward J. Black, of Scriven, Win.
11. Stiles, Esq. of Cass, and Gen. Hugh A.
Haralson of Troup, who acquitted themselves
in a manner highly creditable to their well
known patriotism and distinguished talents.
Tbe several speakers were Jrequently inter
rupted by animated and prolonged cheerings.
Previous to the adjournment of tbe meeting,
which took place about half past nine o’clock,!
the following resolution, introdum and by the |
Hon. Francis 11. Cone of Green, was adopted :!
Resolved, That the Democratic party will
assem lie at t he S;ate House, on Thursday
evening the 18:h instant, for the purpose of
nominating candidates to fill the vacancies
that have occurred in our Congressional Dele
gation, and that each county in the State, be
requested to send delegates to said meeting,
equal in numbers to their representation in |
the Legislature, and in the event ot any county (
failing to send delegates, that the members of
Legislature of such counties be received as j
delegates.
HENRY G. LAMAR, Chairman. j
F. H. Sanford Secretary.
The Democracy, as was observed by one of j
the Honorable speakers during the evening, I
have yet to fight the battle ; anil upon their
energy,zeal and vigilance,will depend the final
result of the great conflict which is approach
ing. \\ e have wily and treacherous adver
saries to deal with, who are now forming, as i
they did in 1839 and ’4O, a coalition of unholy (
interests against the rights of the people and !
the Constitution ot the Union. Already are’
the i orthern Whigs rallying the Abolitionists
to the conflict, and when it comes on we shall
find too many southern Whigs fighting under
the unconsecrated banner. Mr. Clay and his
discomfited horde of consolidationists, have
“set their life upon the cast,” and they will
“stand the hazard of the die.” Surrounded by
the hungry and monopolizing expectants of a
United States Bank—by high and protective
Tariff manufacturers—by foreign speculators
in the Public Lands of the Union—by a clique
of voracious Pensioners—and by a legion of
black hearted Abolitionists—they are de er
rnined to carry on a deadly feud against the
institutions of the South, as they are based
upon the fundamental principles of the Con
stitution of the Union, and either sink them
selves, or the great charter of our. rights,
against which they now stand in a declared
“position ot opposition,” as their position has
been most significantly defined to be.
Let the people reflect upon this, and they
will feel, most sensibly lee!, that the great
battle is yet to be fought. Soberly reflect
ing upon this, they will look upon the great
achievements they have recently accomplish
ed, as the entering wedge which they have
fixed into the body of old Federalism, and
that there is yet required a succession of
nughty blows to split assunder that deadly
monster that seeks the destruction of Jef
fersonian Democracy. Let the people then,
be “up and doing,” and think that nothing
is accomplished umil all is won. Let them
keep in mind the January elections.
Rejection of the Distribution Act.—
We receive assurances from all quarters that
the people of our State are resolved on reject
ing the money to be tendered to them under
tins odious bill ; and that its rejection will
probaly be acted upon early in the ensuing
session of the Legislature. Tlie State does
not need, and if needed, our people are against
taking money tendered, tinder such circum
stances of usurpation and fraud. Rather than
have the money appropriated among them in
any manner, directly or indirectly, they are
prepared, while rejecting all proposed use of
the money, to provide that it remain untouched
u ntil the repeal of the act—pledging them
selves to enfore such repeal, and on its occur
rence to see that the portion of tlie money
tendered and rejected here, be restored to the
federal treasury to be used for honest, legiti

Georgian have received trom a correspon- j
dent tiie following:
Every thing is quiet along the border and .
no murder has lieen coilimited during the;
whole of the last full moon. Indians in small,
parties are still coming in, and surrendering.;
On the 11 th inst. Halleck Harjo and another j
Indian, brought to l’ilatka ten Indians, from
Spring Garden, on the St. Johns. Halleck j
says after searching four or five days, these ‘
were the only Indians he couid find on the
river, and lie*believes there are none on it,
except high up, probably South of Fort Mel
lon.
The differeut detachments detailed for the ‘
Everglades’ expedition, are moving from!
Tampa Bay to their designated positions;
around the big cypress. You may soon ex- j
pect to hear thunder from that quarter, and i
I hope the capture or surrender of Sain Jones j

here on Sunday morning last from Ft. Pierce.}
J On Tuesday, 25th ult, while the Gaston was]
’lying off Indian River bar, the pilot boat, in j

: owing to the boisterous state of the weather,
and Mr. U, Ashlock. (pilot.) one boy, and two
I men attached to the boat, together with seven
i 17. S. Soldiers, were drowned. Immediately
ion this occurrence, a boat was despatched
j from the steamer, manned by four men, to
1 their assistance, bn*, uc* rtun*vcly.- they met
with the same accident, and three out of the
four likewise found a watery grave—making
in all, fourteen lives lost. Air. A. had hut
live days previous been united in the holy
bonds of matrimony.
The scout which left Fort Dallas some
time since, had not returned at the last advi
ces, being then absent 22 days.
A scout left Fort Pierce on the 3d inst. for
an examination of the country, in that section.
New Smyrna has been abandoned, and the
troops removed to Fort Pierce.—St. Augus

Reverse of Sentence. —The Secretary cf
the navy has reversed the decree of the Court
Martial, held on board the U. S. ship Penn
sylvania at Norlolk, sentencing Dr. Hunter
and Lieut. Goden to suspension, and acquitted
those gentlemen of the charges made against
them.
The Secretary reflects with great severity
both on Captain Bolton, who preferred the
charges asramst them, and the captains who
composed the court. He has asserted in the
most unequivocal terms* that there was no
ground of complaint against them, much less
for a conviction and sentence by court martial.

COTTON MARKET.
The continued heavy rains since Monday morning,
give us but meager cotton receipts this week, and \
we presume th it such will be the case until the roads 1
are in order. We have now a fine boating i iver, and j
th3 arrival of the steamboats Tallahassee, Lowell and
General Harrison, with full and assorted cargoes of
merchandise f>r our merchants, make their sucks as
f U as the wants of the country require. Groceries
of all kihds are plenty arid cheap.
Our cotton market may be said to be ac-ive. Pales
at from 7 a 7i>—choice lots in square packages seme. 1
times commanding 8 cents.
Wc understand that a determined move is making ;
on the part of our Banks for an early resumption.
We sincerely hope that it mav be successful, The ;
interests of our mercantile friends .demand this ; the
tax in the form of exchange is too onc/ous to be sub- ‘
milted to,’

New Orlsaks, Nov. 13.
Cotton.—There has been an animated demand
through Hit the week, which has again been chiefly
| for the continental markets. The demand has been
i confined almost exclusively to the qualities classing
middling to middling fiir, a 1 prices averaging from 85
’ to&t and 9<c. The finer grades Continue very scarce
! The market closed vest rday evening, {after sales of
i 2500 bales) at prices fully \c. per lb. higher than th >se
! current last week. The sales of the week are esti
mated at 1 { 000 bales. Exported 10 499 btt'es. Re
ceipts 25.302 bales. Stock on hand 88,156 bales, an
increase of 14803 bales since ast week.
Nov. 15 —The sales of cotton to-day reached 2 OCO
biles at steady prices. Buyers for the North and the
Continent con'intie to be the principal operators.
Nov. 17.—Arrived since the 12'h instant, 13 420
bales. Cleared in the same time, 8761 bales—-making
an atHiiiofr to stork of 1656 bas??. and leaving on hand
I B*. 4? S'baits-. The firm charaet-r \>hii:b th* i>i>k>-.t
exhibited at the tune of closing pur report of last Sat
urday has since been (idly maintained, and there has
been a verv good business doing. The demand as
heretofore, has been in a great measure confined to
the middling and middling fair descriptions, and the
principal operations have again been on English ae
ro int.’ In regad to quotaions there is no charge
that can be noticed. The salts have generally been
made at very full prices. Our receipts this season
are not so large as ihey were the year before at the
same period. We notice the sales of the three days,
which together am Hint to 7300 bales, at extremes of
8J a 10J —average 9j.
Mobile, Nov, 13.
Cotton. —During the first three days of this week
there was considerable animaiion in our market. ’J he
sates averaged about 4 000 hales at the lull rates last
quoted. Since then ihe market has fallen back to its
previous inactive condition. It closed flat yesterday,
and today all demand is suspend and. The sales this
week are reported at about 3.500 bal* s ; the receipts
6,093, an 1 the exports 2.412 —leaving a stock 011 hand
and on shipboard not c efeil of 14,213 b les. (against
3 000 last vear.) The rates at closing yesterday
were, for extremes 73 a 10—average.SL There is
nothing here which will class rh ive s rictly fair, and
bit verv 1 tile of that qua i‘v. There has not been a
crop of such ordinary quality here fir, many years.
Bagging and Rope have met Some request at 24 a 26,
and 11 a 12$ for Kentucky. S'ock of ail kinds ample.
Augusta, Nov. 20.
Cotton, —Since our last, prices have declined
fully 3 of a cent on the Hum descriptions and l cent
oil the lower qualities. Sales, so far a they have
come, to our knowledgo. reach about 1370 bales.
Strictly prime continues very scarce, and in square
lackages would bring a quarter of a cent over our
highest quotations. Inferio- and Middling are plenty
and neglected. We quote as the extremes of our
market yesti rday 7 a 8 j and Sjc.
Savannah, Nov. 19.
Cotton. — Arrived since 12th ms'. 736S bales Up

Upland, and 703 bales Sea Island Cotton.
Oitr market opened without animation on Monday,
and on the following days purchasers oh ained a con
cession of £e upon all grades below fair, and | to |
upon fair to fully fair. At this reduction business has
been done to a fair extent, though the transactions
have not been sufficiently large to relieve the market
of its weight of middling and inferi r cotton, which
continue exceeding dill! of sale. The sales of Ihe
we kam >unt to 23 13 hales, at 8 a 9|. In Sea Island
no transaction to report.
Macon Nov. 18.

Selma, Nov. 13.
Cotton. —Our market during the e rlv part of the
week presented a dull appearance, owing to the sina'l
quantity offering. Within the last day or two, a con
siderable quantity has been offered, and the market
became quite anima ed at prices ranging from 7j to
Bsc. per lb.
Columbia, Nov. 17.
Cotton ha’ hern coming in very freely during 1 lie
last week. There his h ten a decline in our market
o’ | since our last quotations We now quote from
Bltoß|. The maiket sustained until Tuesd.a last,
the prices of the Inst week—say 8 1 to 84 cts.. for new;
but prices have receded. We may now quote Bto
84 cents as the extremes. A few bales have ben
sold at 8 62$ but 85 is considered the extreme of the
marker. The supply for the last two or three days
has been good.
Hamburg. Nov. 18.
Cotton.— On Thursday last there were over 11 1 0’O
bales received, and prices remained steady. Since
then the arrivals have been heavy, and our maket has
given about 3c. on the middling and fair, hut closing
pretty steady and the demand good on this day. We
now- quote as extremes 7 to B£e; principal sales Bs.
In some instances, a verv superior lot will bring 9c.,
but the sales of this q lalities are so rare that they
will not warrant a quotation.

Cotton.— -The receipts of the week have been
large. About 490 bales have been received, most of
which sold at from 7$ to Sf 2. per lb.

for Upland throughout the week just closed, and the
trans-ciions have reached fully 6137 bags, agaiist the
receipt of 9235 The general features of the mar ct
in relation to prices have undergone no material
change since: the operations in the middling and low
qualities have turned in favor of the buyer; the better
sorts, however, which have been in most request, have
well maintained former rates—say 7 a 10c. We have
no transactions in Long Cotton to report.
New York, Nov. T 6.
