CQLUMBUHc CITY CIRCULATIOW. Saturday Morning, Aug. !10, 1857. The Plrut Bale. The first bale of new Cotton for the season was received in this city on yes terday, from the plantation of Mr. Ilivers Reese, of Chattahoochee county. The hale weighed 446 pounds, classed strictly good middling, and was fold to Mr. I). A. Johnson at 17c. It was weighed at the warehouse of Messrs. King & Sorsby, and shipped the smue day by Muscogee Rail Koad to Messrs. Phillips, Giles k Cos., of Savannah. The first bale of new Cotton was received in this city last yoar on the 31st July, and the year previous on the 4th of August. I*. B.—Since the above was in type we learn that another bale of new cotton was received at the warehouse of Hughes, Daniel & Cos. ♦ Rumor Contradicted. The Mobile papers contradict the re ports that have t een circulated in certain quarters, that yellow fever prevailed in that place. They say no case has yet occurred, and they have every reason to believe the city will escape the scourge this season. Fire at Wilmington, N. C. From the Wilmington, N. C., papers we learn that a tire occurred in that city on the 23d inst., destroying sonic $30,000 worth of property. The tire is said to have undoubtedly been the work of an incendiary. Decision ngnlnat Itlri.Cunnlngham. The Surrogate of New York, on the 24th inst., gave his decision in the Jlur dell property case, adverse to Mrs. Cun ningham, and in favor of the blood rela tions of the deceased. What will now become of the baby case? Will the in dictment against her stick now that it appears the baby would not have inheri ted the property even if it had been proven to be genuine? There appears to be considerable diversity of opinion among the legal fraternity of New York upon the subject. Death of u Stranger. We learn from the Columbia, S. C., papers that, on the 25th inst., Mr. W. 11. Smith, of Panola, Miss., died at Juuney’s Hotel, on Tuesday morning last, where he arrived ou the 9th inst., suffering with a disease of the bowels with which he had been atllicted for years. lie re ceived every necessary attention from Mr Janney, the proprietor of the hotel, and was medically treated by Drs. Good wyn and Huot. Grand Fancy Ball. It will perhaps be interesting to the fashionable portion of our readers to know that a grand Fauoy Ball will como off at Varner’s Hotel, at the Indiau Springs, on the oth September next. It is expected that it will be one of the graudest affairs of the kind that has ever been given in Georgia, and will probably close the wa tering season for this year. Regatta at Mobile. The citizens < f Mobile had line sport last Saturday, Boat Racing at Point Clear. There were many pe l sons present, all ol whom appeared to enjoy the sport with a great deal of zest. There were three second class, and seven each of third and fourth class boats entered for the race. - ♦— A Wealthy County. The Tax Assessor’s Returns of Mont gomery County, Ala., exhibits quite a gratifying state of the resources of that county. There are 20,044 slaves in the county, and $1,890,000 out at interest— real estate and personal property in pro portion. A pretty wealthy county, we should say. Plcnsunl Place to Live In. A Vera Cruz correspondent, writing on the 4th instant, states that the mortality from the Vomito was very great. Suicide was so frequent that it was regarded as epidemic. Smuggling was carried on to a great extent on the frontier. With the addition of the small pox, Cholera, and Mrs. Cunningham, it would be ulmost as pleasant a place to live in ns New York. ■ • ■— ♦ There is no good foundation for the ro port that the American forces iu the China waters have seized the island of Formosa, and the rumor has probably arisen from the appearance of a United States war vossel at the island in ques tion, to investigate the alleged murders of shipwrecked --tilers in that vicinity, Hoops lu tliv Ascendent. Jones has rather a practical turn of mind, and turns to account many things that less inventive genius would never find a use for. Walking out the other eveuing with his better half, who, by the way, is rnther a small specimen of angel ic loveliness, they were caught in a heavy Bhower. when he seized her by the ankles and held her above him ns an umbrella, and thereby saved his beaver from a soaking, but created the expense of ano ther “ love of a bonnet,” to restore equan imity in the domestic circle. Jones says crinoliue beats umbrellas “all hollow” in keeping a tellow dry. The Wire Band. The New York Herald of Friday, the 21st instant, is devoted largely to a re view and history of telegraphic enterpri ses and operations. By its calculations it appears that of overland and subma rine telegraphs there are completed and in progress of construction at the preseut % time—United States (overland) 33,000 miles ; South America (overland) 1500 miles: Europe (overland) 37,900 miles; India (overland) 6000 miles; submarine (Europe and America) 960 miles. Total 78,860 miles. This aggregate will be in creased 1700 miles by the completion of the Atlantic telegraph. Os the European and Indinn telegraphs not more than from six to seven thousand miles of the lines commenced are unfinished, and the next six months will probably see them all in operation. The Gas Explosion in Baltimore. The explosion of gas which took place iu Baltimore, ou Sunday afternoon, is described by the Baltimore papers as having been quite terrific. It occurred in the purifying and measuring apart ment of the gas company’s building.— Messrs. James Ryan and Edward Quigley entered the apartment with a light to try to detect a leak which was supposed to exist. Upon holding the light near the apparatus, the gas ignited, and an ex plosion followed, which the Sun describes as follows: “In the house were eight large purify ing machines and a large metre, through which all the gas was measured before going into the large reservoir for distri bution. The entire floor of the building was blown up and the walls, some twelve inches thick, thrown down. The roof was of slate, and that, too, was demol ished The door of the meter room was thrown about one hundred feet over the reservoir. The machinery seemed to have sustained comparatively little dam age. The building was damaged to the amount of some $550. Ryan was severe ly burned about the face and hands, as also Quigley, who, besides, received a severe contusion on the temples. The Decision in the “Dog Fight” Case. The trial took place yesterday, and oc cupied the attention of the court, jury, lawyers, and “a large concourse of visi tors,” for about three hours. The trial was brought to recover five hundred dol lars placed in the hands of a stakeholder who held iu his possession one thousand dollars wagered ou the result of a “dog fight” which was to have come off in Ju ly, 1856. A few days before the time for the fight, the plaintiff’s fighting dog died. The plaintiff subsequently applied to the stakeholder for the five hundred dollars wagered on the fight, and the stakehold er refused to give it up. The jury found for the plaintiff the amount claimed by niin under the charge of the court that tiettiug was unlawful. This is not the first decision involving the same principle. It was decided not long since, in one of the Courts of New York, if we mistake not, that betting was uulawful, and u stakeholder was respon sible to the loser for money that he had paid over as stakeholder, to the winner, after the bet hud been decided. Panic in Wall Street. There was quite a panic in Wall street, New York, on the 25th iust., occasioned by the rumored suspension of John Thompson, Delauney, Isclin & Cos., and E. S. Monroe, all bankers, whose liabili ties are said to be very heavy. In con sequence of which, and the further fact that attachments amounting to $2,000,- 000 have been issued against the Ohio Trust Company, a heavy decline is anti cipated in the stock market. The cause of these failures is not stated, but we suppose it is the result of reckless specu lation. New Cotton in Mobile. We learn from the Mobile papers, that the first bale of new cotton of the season, was received in that city on the 22d inst., from the plantation of N. H. Harrison, of Noxubee county, Miss. It was received by Rail Road, consigned to C. R. Labu zau. It was classed Middling Fair—fair staple rather immature, and cut in the ginning, and was sold on the 24th, to Mr. John Johnson, at 17 cents. The bale weighed 304 pounds. The first bale last year was received in Mobile on the 9th of August, classed Middling Fair, and sold for 18J cents. California Land Titles. It is said that the insecurity of Cali fornia land titles is such as to seriously affect the settlement of that State. It is said that nine-tenths of all the arable land is claimed under Mexican titles, many of which are spurious, and have been so proved, while many more are be lieved to be also forgeries, though not so considered by the legal arbiters. These land troubles have been iu some measure diminished by the action of the courts, but they will probably continue for years yet. Triplets Three Times. The wife of Montgomery Landt, living at Kistatom, Green county, Mo., not long since, presented her husband with three boys at a birth, this being the third oc currence of the kind in three years. A bachelor friend at our elbow, who is the sole representativoof his family name, wishes to know if Mrs. L. has any mar riageable sisters. The answer to this question may determine his future move ments. Cunnins as the Fox. The Dumfries (Scotland) Courier says a gentleman in the Highlands sent the editor of that paper the following note: A gamekeeper ou the estate near Loch Awe, who had been annoyed by the dep redations of foxes, discovered a kennel in the glen at the side of a small loch While watching one evening for the ap pearance of the tenants, he observed a brace of wild ducks Heating on the loch. In a little while a fox was seen approach ing the waterside with cautious steps ; on reaching it, he picked up a bunch of heather, and placed it in his mouth, so as to cover his head; then slipping into the water, and immersing all but his nose, floated slowly and quietly down to where the birds were quacking out de light iu fancied security, seeing nothing near them but a bunch of weed. In due time he neared the duck- 1 , dropped the heather, and seized a duck, with winch he returned to the loch side, and was making off to his young with the prize, when the keeper, who had noted all his movements, closed them by the di-charge of his double-barrel. Surely such sa gacity deserved a better fate.” An Honest Man. A Mr Ridgeway, who in 1810 was in business in New York as a joiner, became involved, and obtained a discharge under the insolvent law. ll e then went West and established himself in Columbus in the plow making business Having du ring the past year received a payment rs $9,000 from a railroad company, he re visited New Y’ork with the intention of finding his old creditors, or their repre sentatives, and squaring his accounts. He was able to find but one of his origi nal creditors living, to whom he paid the debt of forty seveu years’ standing. He • also paid the children of one of his other creditors, whom he succeeded in finding. Mr. Ridgeway represented his District in Congress for aiz years. ’ Significant Hints. Thie Magnetic Telegraph, though an in valuable blessing, is prostituted every where to many base uses. In Europe and in the United States it has ever been eas ily perverted to private jobbing, by means of which the masses are swindled in a great many ways. News is delayed in its transmission to the organs of the people to allow the favored few to work out their speculations on the faith of their private and exclusive information. The most sig nal instance of this occurred recently in Europe in the sending of the Indian news from Trieste to London. When the over land mail from Calcutta reaches the for mer place, it is customary for the British Government to receive from its agents full telegraphic dispatches containing the substance of the intelligence. This ena bles the Government to act promptly in cases of emergency by forwarding troops, ships, munitions of war, or important des patches. The news is always sent at once from the foreign office to the various Lon don newspapers, and by them published. This did not exactly suit the stock gam blers who luxuriate at the London Stock Exchange. So when the last news reach ed Trieste at o’clock A. M., it was not transmitted to London until 12 o’clock at noon the succeeding day. Meantime the speculators had received their private despatches, and cheated the folks not in the secret by their purchases of stocks and merchandise. But it so happened that the news was very urgent in its im portance, and every day lost to the Gov ernment at this juncture is felt in the ef forts to suppress the Indian mutiny. The Ministers have therefore determined to sift the matter thoroughly and see where the delinquency lay. What has been doue in this case in Europe has its parallel iu the United States. The telegraph, in fact, ought to be subjected to the closest sur veillance, or it3 management must cou vert it into a great nuisance. —Philadelphia American. An Old Soldier. On Monday evening, a Scotchman, ap parently about 70 years old, and smart at that, called at the Twenty-first Word Station House, New York, and asked to be provided with lodgings, stating that he had unfortunately missed the tiain by which he intended to start for home in Massachusetts. He said his name was James McDonald, born in Glasgow, Scot land, September, 1745, and was there fore nearly one hundred and twelve years of age ; that he emigrated to this country in 1760, landing in Plymouth 29th July, and served in the American army during the Revolutionary war. He lost an eye in the battle of the Cow Pens. With the exception of this defection, and the loss of most of his teeth, he is a smart look ing man. He says that he has a son eighty-five years of age. Capt. Speight gave the old man sufficient money out of his own pocket to defray his expenses at a hotel, and several persons also contrib uted to the old man’s funds. He afforded some amusement by going through his old military exercises, and proceeded to give some interesting facts relative to the wars in which he had been engaged. The Fair of the American Institute. The managers of the New York Ameri can Institute have secured for their an nual fair the Crystal Palace, where the exhibition will be opened on the 15th of September, and continued until the 28th of October. The building will be open for the receipt of goods from Monday, the 7th, to Tuesday, the 15th of Sept. The coming fair, in the opinion of our New York exchanges, will probably pre sent increased facilities to agriculturists, pomologists and florists, for the exhibi tion of the products of the soil. It is the intention of the managers to offer liberal premiums for the “Cereals,” and thus bring together, in competition, the grain of the various States. The machine de partment is also to be improved. The act of the Legislature of New York, passed May 5, 1841, requires that “be fore any premium shall be delivered, the persons claiming the same, or to whom the same may be awarded, shall deliver, in writing, to the President of the Socie ty, an accurate description of the process of preparing the soil, including the quan tity and quality of manure applied, and of raising the crop, and also of the ex penses and product of the crop, with the view of showing accurately the profit of cultivating the crop.” Washington on Retirement. It there was no company, lie would write until dark, or if pressed by busi ness, until nine o’clock in the evening; otherwise he read in the evening or amus ed himself with a game of whist. The reverential awe which his deeds and ele vated position threw around were often a source of annoyance to him in private life, especially when he perceived its es . feet upon the young and gay. We have been told of a case in point, when he made his appearance at a private ball where all were enjoying themselves with the utmost glee. The moment he enter ed the room the buoyant mirth was checked; the dance lost its animation; every face grew grave ; every tongue was silent. He remained for a time endea voriug to engage in conversation with sorno of the young people, and to break the spell ; finding it in vain, he retired sadly to the company of the elders in an adjoining room, expressing his regret that his presence should operate as such a damper. After a little while light laughter and happy voices again resound ed from the ball-room, upon which ho rose, cautiously approached on tip-toe the door, which was ajar, and there stood for some time time a delighted spectator of the youthful revelry. —Life of IfusA inyton. Population and Trade of Delhi. According to the census of 1845-’46 the population of Delhi, in India, was one hundred and thirty-seven thousand nine hundred aud seventy-seven inhabi tants, of which seventy-one thousand five hundred aud thirty were Hindoos, sixty-six thousand one hundred and twenty Mussulman, and three hundred and twenty-seven Christian. To these figures must be added twenty-two thou sand inhabitants of the suburbs, which would give an aggregate population of about one hundred and sixty thousand souls. The commerce of Delhi is quite ! active. During the year 1851 there en tered the city more than one hundred and eighty thousand horses, or bea-ts of bur den, carry ing merchandize, and sixty-five thousand vehicles. The trade consists in the exchange of horses, fruits, cash mere. precious stones and jew by, to which are to be added the cost'y produc tions of local industry, such as t bawls, tissues of cotton, indigo, &c Delhi has always been considered one of the most remarkable cities in India. Besides the Gazette of Delhi, published in English ; there are eight journals published in the native tongue, Hindostanese. Schools are also numerous. LATER PROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL Os “THE AMERICA. Halifax, August 23.—The British and ! North American steamship America, Capt. Alex. Ryrie, has arrived, with Liverpool dates to Ang. 15th. Liverpool Markets. The cotton market was firm, with an ad vancing tendency, although prices were unchanged. The sales of the week are not given, although speculators aud ex porters took 7,000 bales. The stock of American is stated to be 380,000 bales.— The sales on Friday were 8,000 bales, of which speculators took 1,000 bales. The cotton market closed on Saturday with a decided advancing tendency. Middling Mobile was quoted at 8 5-16d. Other quotations remain as per Arabia’s advices. Stock iu port, 472,000 bales. In consequence of the unfavorable con dition of the crops, breadstuff’s generally have slightly advanced. Wheat exhibits an improvement in demand and price, and flour closed with an upward tendency. Corn has slightly declined. Advices from Manchester are favorable. Sales of goods were slow, but prices re mained unaltered. Breadstuff's were buoyaut, owing to the floods in the interior. Provisions are steady. Sugar was dull, and had declined Is.— Rice steady. Rosin was buoyant—common quoted at 4s. 6d., fine 16s. Nothing doing in Tar and Turpentine. Spirits Turpentine 395. 6 pence. London Market. Turpentine closed firm. Sugar heavy, and had declined 2s. to 3s. Consols have improved, and are quoted from 90| to 90j{. Consols, for account, were quoted at 90£ to 91. Havre Market. New Orleans Tree Ordinaire 119 francs. General Intelligence. The Atlantic Telegraph Cable parted 330 miles from Valencia, on the morning of the 11th of August. All the vessels were returning to England. The Direct ors of the Company are very sanguine of the ultimate success of the enterprise.— A conference was called to be held in Lon don on Saturday, the 15th inst., to deter mine if it is most politic to go ou or wait until another summer. The Telegraphic cable parted on board the Niagara, aud in the midst of a heavy swell. It ran off from the coil too fast, and the engineer applied the breaks, when it snapped. The Agamemnon remained to try some deep water experiments for its recovery, but the remainder of the fleet returned to England. It was the impression in Liverpool that another at tempt at laying the cable would be made in October. The mail from India has arrived, which brings the intelligence that Delhi has not fallen. On the 27th June there had been further mutiny among the troops. The Bengal army is defunct; but Rombay and Madras remain loyal. It is believed that the crisis is passed. This news has been very favorably received in London, and has caused an advance in consols. There is nothing of importance from China. Domestic Markets. New York. August 26.—Cotton is firm. Sales to-day 100 bales. Flour is beavy ; State declined 5c., Southern 10c. Ohio advanced sc. Wheat slightly declined.— Freights firmer. From Porter’s Spirit of the Times, Aug. 22.

The Union says their liabilities arise chiefly from large investments in the Iron Region of North ern Michigan, including the construction of the “Iron Mountain Railroad.” The road cost betweeu $250,000 and $300,- 000. It was begun by the late H. B. Ely. deceased, and has been prosecuted to completion by his surviving brothers. They hope, in time, to recover them- j selves. Facts cannot be questioned, when the peo ’ pie of any country bear testimony in mass, as in the case of Dr. J. Hostetter’s Stomach Hitters. Not only have we tbe individual evidence of the land, but almost every paper in the Union is com menting upon the great benefit derived from the use of these celebrated hitters; besides various di plomas awarded them, among which is one from the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute, at their Thirteenth Annual Exhibition, at Ciuciunali, whore the Com mittee was composed chiefly of physicians in the city. These are weighty facts that cannot help i but convince the most credulous that it is at least worthy of triat.

Several of these have tested, personally, the hair preparation we are now speaking of, and certify to its amazing efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their certificates may be seen at the proprietor’s depot, 312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in saying they will impress conviction on the most skeptical mind. Wood’s Hair Restor ative is, doubtless, the best article of its kind ever yet produced.

LEBKUN offers to those suffering from deafness, his infallible aural remedies, which have been successful in nearly three thousand cases of confirmed deafness I These remedies have been pronounced by Drs. Kbramer, of Berlin and Deleau, of Paris, and Curtis Pilcher, of London is the must wuudorful ever applied tor diseases ot’iu tei nal and middle ear. They comprise different courses for the various diseases that affect the ex terual and middle ear. Dr. Lola tin warrants u cure in every case, where the ear is perfect iu its formation. He has eighteen certificates from those who have been deaf from infancy, whose hearing is now completely restored, and they are now ena bled to learn the language! Over twenty-seven hundred cases oi deafness have been successlully treated by him. Certificates to that effect may he seen on application.

When a want of secretion is apparent, the ‘auditory canal’ being dry and scaly; when the deafness is accompanied with noises in the ear, like rustling of leaves, chirping of insects, falling water, ringing of bells, pulsa tions, discharge of matter; when in a stooping position a sensation is felt as if a rush of blood to the head had taken place; when the hearing is perfectly acute where there is much noise, or h~- acute ill dull, cloudy weather, or when cold lias been taken, the course pursued by Dr. Lebrun is considered infallible.

Patients sending a few particular.- of their case, can have remedies sent to any part. TESTIMONY. We the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in the city of New York, having had occasion 1 W’itness the practice of Drs. Lebrun and Dufton. in diseases of the Ear cud Eye, laying aside all pr fessional jealousy and prejudice, freely admit the course pursued by them in treating diseases if those delicate orguns, from the unparalleled suc cess which has attended it, is well worthy the at tention of our professional brethren throughout the United States. Their system of treating disea ses of the middle and internal ear, by the us- of ‘medicated vapors,’ particularly in chronic and complicated cases, forms anew era in the practice of aural surgery, and fills up a void which lias long been felt by the general practitioner. In diseases of the eye, they seldom require to resort to an op eration. As skillful Aurists and Oculists, and en thusiastically devoted to their profession, we cor dially recommend them to such ns may require their aid.’’ Signed, Alexander K. Mott. M. b George S.
