In the Spring of 1844 I had some cough ; I w as then in Worcester county, Mass., and applied to a physician, who gave me some medicine, but it did not relieve me ; I was not able to work during the summer. Last fall I was much worse, so reduced b y coughing, and sweating nights, that 1 was obliged fotake my room. My physician tried in vain to re naove my cough and restore me to health, but I did not expect to recover; I however concluded to try istar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry ; I was then troubled with very frequent spells of coughing, night ®nd day ; before I had taken one bottle, my cough was easier; I continued to take the medicine until I 'vasable to leave ray room, I have taken several bottles, and 1 think Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry has cured me ; at least I feel as well and as strong as rave for twelve years.

We have no change to note this week. The mar- i ket has been rather quiet, owing to the daily antici- : pation of later accounts from Europe.

CHARLESTON, January I.— Cotton. —The Cot ton market has undergone no material change since our report of the 241 h ultimo. The only new features we have to notice is some slight improvement in the demand, and the increase in the supply. The trans actions of Friday last—for it will be recollected that our publication was anticipated a day —were confined to some 250 bales, without any change in prices. Saturday was Christmas, and nothing was done in the article. On Monday a moderate demand prevailed, and near <OO bales were sold; Tuesday, however, was a quiet day, as the transactions were limited to about 400 bales ; but when we closed our inquiries, the prices current just prior to our former report were sustained. On Wednesday we received the tele graphic accounts by the steamer Hibernia, but as is generally the case on such occasions very little was sold, as dealers preferred to await the result of more detailed accounts. The mail of Thursday placed them in possession of their letters, and also the news paper accounts; the market, however, was again ne glected, as purchasers were engaged with their pri vate correspondence. The operations of these two days were confined to 700 bales. The advices brought over by the steamer certainly wear an improved as pect, but European buyers have not made their ap pearance. The transactions yesterday reached near 1100 bales, and confined, as indeed lias been the bu siness of the week, almost solely to coastwise ship ment. The transactions it will be seen have run principally on the better grades, which are fully as high as they were at the opening of tlie week. We continue former quotations, viz : middling fair, 7| ; and fair and fully fair, 7| a Sets. The receipts since our last reach 7660 bales, against the sale in the same time of 3116 bales, as follows: —23 bales at 7; 33 at 7f; Bat 7j; 245 at 7f; 617 at 7f; 955 a 7£; and 236 bales at Bc. We have no transactions to re port in Long Cotton. Comparative statement of Cotton, embracing Stock on hand , Receipts and Exports. 1847. 1846-7.

The operations since our last reach, perhaps, at the extent, about 1900 tierces. The market was quite languid when we closed our inquiries yesterday, but we have no positive reduction to record in prices; and continue the quotations of the 24th ultimo, viz : fair to good qualities 3 a 3}-; and prime parcels from s3| to —. The sales of the week have been at extremes ranging from $3 to s3| per hundred. The receipts comprise 2046 tierces. Corn. —There has been a material increase in the receipts of Corn during the week just brought to a close. Between Hand 12,000 bushels, mostly white flint, have reached us from North Carolina, which have passed into the hands of dealers, at prices rang ing from 69 to 72c. per bushel; it is doubtful, how ever, in the present state of the market, if fresh arri vals would sustain these rates. About 12,500 bush els have been received by the Railroad. The market for country Corn is very heavy. We quote this de scription at 60 a 65c., with and without the bags, as the wholesale price, although we are aware that se veral small parcels have been sold at something above these figures. Flour. —This article has to a great extent been ne glected during the week. The bakers are supplied at present, and there has been no demand for coast wise shipment. Several small parcels superfine have been forced off, at prices ranging from ss£ to 5f per barrel. Our remarks apply solely to country Flour, which constitutes the supply on sale. There have been received since our last about <OO barels by the Railroad. Hay. —We have no change to notice in North Ri ver. About 700 bales have been sold, part of which was a store lot. The receipts of the week comprise 300 bales Eastern and about 1,000 bales North Ri ver. The former was sold at 90c. 300 bales of the latter is incorporated in the sales noticed above, the balance has been stored, as we understand, for higher prices. Bacon. —This article has been entirely neglected during the week. Several parcels have been put up on the market, but holders have not been able to ef fect sales. Lard.— The receipts of the week have been unu sually heavy, comprising upwards of 1200 kegs, and 150 bbls. from New Orleans. This accumulation of supply has depressed the market, and prices have re ceded. Between 5 and 600 kegs have changed hands. 1 The market opened at 9c. and closed at 7Jc. per lb. The bbls. sold from 9 to Bj=c. Salt. —Nearlv the whole of the 2900 sacks receiv ed at the close of the previous week, and reported in I our last, have been sold at 1.25 and $1.30 per sack. About 2500 sacks have since come to hand, which moves off very slowly at 1.20 per sack. We give, as a fair criterion of the market, 1.15 a $1.30. The re ceipts for the quarter are 22,619 sacks, and 4450 bush els in bulk. Sugars. —The heavy auction sales of Muscovado i at an early period in the season threw a large supply 1 on ihe market, and the trade having freely supplied j themselves .at the time, and at low prices, recent arri vals have in most instances gone into store. Some j 450hhds., 19 tierces and 31 bbls. Louisiana of the ; new crop, have reached the market since our last, of , which, only about 40 hhds. have been sold, in small I lots, at prices ranging from to s|c. according to quality. Received from foreign ports for the quarter ending 31 set nit. 329 hhds. 14 tierces, 61 bbls. and 61 i boxes; coastwise in the same time, 573 hhds. 19 tcs. j and 41 bbls. Coffee. Small parcels Rio have been sold at pri | ces ranging from 7£ to 7|. The quarterly receipts | are 40 hhds. anil 11,100 bags from foreign ports, and I 2264 bags coastwise. Molasses. —We have a further decline to notice in New Orleans Molasses, owing to the increase in the receipts, and wc might add, the indisposition evinced among the trade to take hold of the article. The ar rivals of the week reach 550 bbls., about 350 of which have been sold—part on speculation—at prices rang ing from 26 to 25c. per gallon, the market closing at the latter price. Some 85 hhds. and 3 tierces prime Cuba, of the new crop, have been received since our last, a few hhds. of which were sold from the wharf, at 24c. per gallon. The quarterly receipts comprise 150 hhds. and 3 tierces from foreign ports, and 1756 bbls. coastwise. Bagging. —This article is in but limited request, and our former quotations are with some difficulty sustained. Rope. —This article has declined in price. Some 400 coils have changed hands this week, principally at 8£ and B|c Domestic Liquors. —Some 1300 bbls. of New Or leans Whiskey fiave been received since our last re port, nearly if not the whole of which have been sold at 26, 25£, and 25c. per gallon. About 100 bbls. N. E. Rum sold at 33 and 34c. Exchanges. —We have no transactions to report in Foreign Exchanges. Freights —Our wharves are well filled with ves sels, seeking freight engagements, but there is very little doing in our staples, and the few loading find it difficult to complete their cargoes. We quote to Li verpool, Cotton in square bags |d.; Havre |c. for Cot ton, and $3 per 600 lbs. for Rice. We quote to New Y ork 20c, per 100 lbs. for Cotton in square bags, and 50c per tierce for Rice; and to Boston, Cotton fc. in square bags, and $1 per tierce for Rice. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.—The river continues to rise, and is now 2? feet below high waier mark. Cotton. —Arrived since the 24th instant, of Louisi ana and Mississippi 17,977 bales, Tennessee and North Alabama 1708, Arkansas 800, Florida 117, Texas 222; together 20,824 bales. Cleared in the same time for Liverpool 2913 bales, Havre (including 757 bales per ship Taglion, omitted in our last) 3452, Nantz 645, Malaga 349, Barcelona 761, New York 174, Boston 2363, Baltimore 46; together 10,694 bales—making an addition to stock of 10,130 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all on ship-board not cleared on the 28th instant, a stock of 159,736 bales. Our last report left the Cotton market in an exceed ingly dull and unsettled state, at a decline of fully a quarter of a cent from the rates current in the early part of the wek, and with few or no buyers of large parcels at this decline, it being about time for the re ceipt of the Hibernia’s advices. Saturday being Christmas, and the mail having failed, scarcely any business was done, the sales having amounted to only some 300 bales. On Monday parlies were again dis appointed in the receipt of the foreign advices, andthe market was heavy, with sales of about 1200 bales. Y esterday there was more inquiry, but the business did not reach any very important extent, having a mountrd to but about 3500 bales. Thus the sales of the past three days sum up only 5000 bales, which lias mostly been taken for Spain, the Continent and the North. As regards prices they still exhibit a good deal of irregularity, but on the whole there appears to he no material variation from our previous figures, which are therefore continued. The receipts at this port since Ist Sept, (inclusive of the arrivals from Mobile and Florida) are 365,893 bales, against 283,- 627 bales to same date last year, and 378,117 bales the year previous.

On Friday, owing to the advanced pretensions of holders, buyers declined to operate, and only 600 bales were sold—middling 6f a 6Jc. Since that time there has been but little do ing. We quote middlings at 6A a 6f.j but it takes strictly good middling to bring the outside figure. We give the sales of the week as follows: Wednesday 1500 bales, Thursday 1000, Friday 600, Saturday 300, Monday, 400, and Tuesday 800—total for the week 4600 bales. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION.
