Y., Oct. 6, 1846. —Messrs. A. B. & D. Sands : Gentlemen—Feelings of gratitude induce me to make a public acknowledgment of the benefit I have derived from the use of your Sarsaparilla. I have for several years been afflicted with scrofulous swellings in my head, which at times would gather and discharge at my throat, nose and ears, and at other times, would break out in different parts of my face and head. These continued until my throat, face and head were almost one complete sore, and for a long time I was so hoarse that it was with the utmost difficulty that 1 could speak above a whisper. Du ring this time I had several attacks of pleurisy and other diseases. I consulted different physicians, and tried various remedies, but received no benefit until I commenced using your Sarsaparilla. I am now well: the sores are all healed, and I attribute the re sult entirely to the effects of your valuable medicine. Yours, with respect and gratitude, Phoebe Cahoon. Being personally acquainted with the person above named, I believe her statement to be correct. James M. D. Carr, Justice of the Peace. Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail by A. B. &D.

Extracts from Letters received in this city, dated LIVERPOOL, 3rd August, 1847.—Since the date of our last circular the demand for Cotton has in gene ral been only limited, the purchases of the Trade having fallen off materially from the average of the preceding month, but Exporters have operated to a lair extent, and Speculators also have not been entire ly inactive. The total sales of the month amount to 128,070 bales, which include 93,220 American, and of these 30,260 have been taken by Speculators, and 13,580 for Export, two-thirds of both of which con sist of American description. There have been for warded unsold 1 450 bales, and the quantity taken for consumption will be found to average 19,347 bales per week. Prices of middling American hav e declined |d. to }d. per lb., but the qualities best su ted for Export have supported their value. Sea Islands remain without change, but other long-stapled cotton is fd. to a id. dearer than on the 3rd ult. The state of business in Manchester is still far from being good, and this has constantly tended to depress the market, which on the other hand has been sustain ed by the actual reduction of Stock here, the certain ty of the present crop of the United States proving no more than it has for some time past been estimated at, and the prospect lately held out, that the crop of 1847-8 may also be below an average of late years. Since the arrival of the last Boston steamer on the 23th ult., these considerations have imparted greater firmness to the market, and the business of the last two days has been larger than on most of the prece ding days in July. The state of money matters how ever is not satisfactory, the rate of discount having again advanced of late, and this circumstance will probably check any speculative operations. BARING, BROTHERS & Co. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 3, 1847.—The harvest is pro gressing under the most favorable circumstances in the Southern counties, and has partially commenced in this district. The reports of blight have in a great measure died away, and generally speaking, the crops of wheat, oats and barley, are represented as unusual ly abundant, and of superior quality. It is yet much too early to judge conclusively^fto the Potato crop, but it is more promising than it was, some weeks ago, considered to be. The less impor tant crop of Beans has partially failed. The accounts from the Continent speak almost universally of the most prolific crops. Under the influence of this and of continued heavy foreign supplies, the Corn markets have gone down rapidly to a further important extent, and are in a state of panic. It has been impossible to idealize ex cept in a retail way, for ten days or a fortnight past; and now the quotations are 275. and 275. 6d. for the best Western Canal Flour; Philadelphia and Balti more, warranted sweet, 265. a |2tis. 4d.; sour 21s. a 235. ; Indian Corn, sound, 265. a 30s. per [quarter, dow n to 255. a 245, for parcels unsound and heated. Indian Com Meal, 14s. per hbl. At auction to-day some parcels of Indian Corn which had been slightly heated but now in good con dition, sold at 255. per quarter and sour Western Canal Flour at 21s. 6d. a 235. 6d. per bbl., with some prime Indian Corn Meal at 14s. per bbl. There have been some failures in the Corn Trade, and more ap prehended, causing much distrust, and altogether the trade is in an extraordinary degree of depression We had a quiet Colton market for ten days and an unusually limited business with a decline of about id. per pound, but since the arrival of the Boston steamer i of loth ult., there has been some increase of demand , and more firmness, and this decline has been par.ialiy | recovered, 3 The more favorable aspect of the market is to be attributed to the accounts of the American growing crop being so exceedingly unpromising in the Atlantic States, and also precarious in the Western States from the late season. More decided confidence in the re sult of the harvest has contributed to the firmness of holders, but they have however to day again shown more disposition to sell. The for the week ended 23d ult. amounted to 2°,500 bales, o! which 2000 were taken on specula tion, and 2500 for export, and for the week ended 30th ult. the business was 18,130 bales, of which 2700 was on speculation and 1000 to exporters. The transactions lor the last three days to this evening have been about 18,500 bales, about 6000 of it being to speculators and exporters. Fair Upland is quoted at fair Mobile 7|, and fair Orleans 7k per lb. The slock in this port is now estimated at 410,000 bales, against 760,000 at same period last season. The stock of American is about 340,000, being a de crease of 224,000 bales. The trade of the spinners is unsatisfactory, though somewhat less disastrous than some time ago. The diminished production of goods and yarns has produced their value more nearly on a par with the raw material, but still relatively be low it, and it is only the apprehension of another short American crop, and the hope of an improved trade, from good harvests, that sustains the Cotton market. The Money market, instead of becoming easier, is decidedly more stringent with increase of pressure and a higher rate of interest. BROWN, SHIPLEY & CO. LIVERPOOL, August 2, 1847 Cotton. -W e had a dull cotton market during the early part of the last fortnight, and prices £to |d per lb. Os late the firmness of the weather, and decline in tiie Grain market, have given animation to the trade, and not withstanding a tight money market, prices have near ly recovered this decline. The trade are the principal operators. The accounts of the growing crop are favorable in the most southerly part of the cotton region, but very much the reverse farther north, and particularly so in the Atlantic States. The season throughout has been backward, and the chances up to this time are con sidered to bn much against a large crop. Fair Or leans, 7Jd, middling 7d ; Fair Mobiles, 7|d, middling 7d; Fair Uplands, 7£d, middling 6|d. Grain and Flour. —The weather has continued uninterruptedly fine, and the crops are now hastening to maturity. Reaping is pretty general in the south ern counties, but has only partially commenced in this neighborhood. The blight in the wheat and po tatoes has made little progress, and the former is now beyond all further injury from this cause. Potatoes must still be considered a precarious crop. The arri vals from abroad continue to be very large. We had an extensive demand for good qualities of flour and wheat in the early part of last fortnight, and prices slightly advanced, Western Canal flour being readily saleable at 35s 6d per barrel. The fine ness of the weather, the large arrivals, and the pros pect of considerable further importations from your side, have since produced a great change in the state of the market. We now quote flour 5s per barrel lower than on the 18th ult., and wheat 9d to Is per 701bs. The arrivals of Indian corn continue large, and the demand is limited ; prices of corn have de clined 7s to 8s per quarter in the fortnight, and of meal 4s per barrel. The value of rice is nominal. Carolina is quoted 20s to 23 per cwt. Money Market. —Notwithstanding the moderate prices to which Grain has now fallen, the Money market continues very stringent. The rates of dis count in this town may be quoted from 5J to 7| per cent., according to the class and character of the bills. The Stock and Share markets are steady, at some de cline on rates lately current. The bullion in the Bank of England continues to decrease, and is now only £9,770,347. State of 'Trade. —The general election has inter fered with business during the past fortnight, and during the early part of it the stringency of the money market contributed with other causes, to produce some depression. Os late there has been increased confidence, and a disposition is shown to lay in stocks now considerably reduced throughout the country. The following quotations are given from Manchester: Ist. Aug. Ist July. Ist Aug. 1846. 1847. 1847. Best 2d water twist, No. 20 0s 8d 0s B|d 0s Bjd Best 2d mule twist, No. 40 os9|d 0s lOjd 0s lOfd Fair Bowed Cotton 0s 4§d 0s 7*d 0s 7^d A. DENNISTOUN & CO. P. S. 3d August. —The sales of Cotton to-day are i 4000 bales, of which 700 bales for export. The mar ket is steady at our quotations. The weather continues very fine, and, influenced by the unfavorable accounts from Mark-lane, the Corn market held here to-day has been extremely depressed. Western Canal Flour brings 27s to 28s per bbl. ; best white American Wheat 9s B<l per 70 lbs.; Indian Corn 25= to 30 per quarter. The money market grows tighter in London. A. D. & CO. HAVRE, July 31, 1847.— Cottons.— During the whole of the week business, generally speaking, has exhibited a very dull appearance, which may in some measure be attributed to the celebration of the anni versary holidays; but the unsatisfactory character of the accounts from Li verpool, coupled with the unfa vorable intelligence from several of our manufacturing districts, are the main causes to which the prevalent flatness is to be ascribed. Our market has therefore remained devoid of activity since our last, report ; the transactions have daily been on a very limited scale, and the demand merely to supply the immediate wants for consumption. There is however no de pressed feeling manifested ; on the contrary, holders seem to have confidence as to the future, and evince no inclination to stimulate dealers by granting a con cession in price. The advices ol the 16th inst, daily looked for by the steamer from the United States, are I expected to contain something conclusive as to the J shipments likely to come forward before the close of the season, and also to convey an idea as to the pros pects for the new crop, which will probably be pro ductive of some new feature incur market and little will therefore be done until their arrival. The im ports of cotton since the commencement of the month amount to 9528 bales, and the outgoings to 28,500 bales; prices of American descriptions have, during that period, undergone an improvement of f. 1 a 1 50 on those at the end of June. We just learn the ar rival of the Caledonia; but at going to press her des ! patches had not been delivered. I The sales from the 23d to the 31st of July were i 4567 bales, including 1875 New Orleans at 95 a 103 ; 200 do. to arrive at 101 ; 728 Mobile at 95 a a 102T.50; 600 do. to arrive at 101, and 1164 Upland at 97f,50 a 103.

HAVRE, Aug. 2—Evening. —On the 31st ult. we received the intelligence brought by the Caledonia, which gave a new impulse to transactions, and 3500 bales U. S. Cottons changed hands, without, however, any advance in price. To-day, Monday, the sales amount to 1500 bales, at the same rates, but well supported. Wheat and flour are declining, with the exception i of superior descriptions. The fall in our French rnar ket on wheat, during the past month, was f. 545 per hectolitre—the average being 29 95, against 22 75 last year. NEW YORK, August 20, 2 P.

To dav the market has not fairly opened yet. The lots of Cotton which were withdrawn a tew days previous to the arrival of the steamer je now rather pressed on tho market, and are sold at prices somewhat in favor of the buyer. The Flour market is inactive. Genesee is held at $5.87i and Oswego at $5.75. , The dealers generally feel rather mde^nde D t or the foreign market at present, believing ha ,he ply of our own wants and the demand for the East ward will take off ail the lots as they rtinve.
