Tin- indirect cause of the murder was the i
pecuniary extravagance of the murderer—the ;
habit of living beyond his income, and the du- !
ijpliciiy which followed in the desperate struggle:

was thi-'i-xrletiiig demand—the persevering and
insulting ililh df liis creditor. There is no doubt

Opinion of Dr. J. B. Uar.H.-dl on the merit of Wi.-tarV
Balsam of Wild Cherry.
We have Lien induced, in consequence of the benefits
received tryn this medicine, to add our testimony in t.i
vor of its extraordinary healing properties. We take
great pleasure in stating, that we have frequently ijfs-d it
Ourself and adminL-tered it to others during the past year,
in cases of obstinate coughs, colds, soreness of the chest,
fee., andaTwa'ys'wjh the r ni6stliappv rosuk. Wethvio
fore cheerfully recommend to all aillicted with the above
diseases, to ’i'KV the Hal.-am of Wild Cherry.
The New York Evening Mirror ttys: “Wi-tarV Bal
sam is still working wonders in curing the most de-per
frtepulmonary diseases. We have not only witnc-.-cd
‘its ellcdt-s, licit haVe a‘great many certificates, which
place theefficacy of this invaluable rifedfeino beyond all
question. It was a custom among the early settlers of
New England to drink freely of Wild Cherry tea in ea
ses of colds and fevers. This tea was made by steeping
the twigs and bark of the Wild Cherry tux-, and drank
freely inoniing and evening. The old Puritan Fathers
used to regard it as “the sovereigntist thing on earth” for
all sorts of complaints ; and there can lie no doubt but
the Balsam prepared by Dr Wistar is one of the very
best articles for Consult .-prion that has yet been discov

REMARKS OX THE MARKET.
FOR TIIE PAST THREE DAYS
There has been very little activity in any de
partment of trade since our report of Wednes
day last. The Cotton market is not in a posi
tion for extensive operations, as the agents of
the Northern manufacturers have generally com
pleted their purchases, and the hulk of the stock
is held above the present limits of most Euro- \
pean drders.
The letters by tF.e Europa will be due here to- j
morrow or next day, and at the close of the j
week the Hibernia’s accounts from Liverpool to
the 6th instant, will be looked lor by telegraph, j
After the Hibernia the departures of the Cunard j
steamers will be weekly, and the Cambria was
to leave Liverpool for New-York to-day.
The weather uas rainy on Thursday, and
though clear yesterday was quite cold lor the •
season.
The river remains at about 2 1-2 feet below
high-water mark.
Cotton.—Arrived since the 19th instant of
Louisiana and Mis-sis.-it.-pi 2 138 bales, Tennes
see and North Alabama 5288, Arkansas 1 179.
Mobile 170, Florida 32; together 9107 bales, j
Total receipts of the week 14,962 bales. Clear
ed since the 9th instant for Liverpool 8942 bales,
Havre 2081, Gotteuburg 1386. Barcelona 1158,
Genoa 2369, New-York 698, Philadelphia 38:
together 17.372 bales. Stock in presses and on
ship-board not cleared on the 12th inst, 180,104
bales.
‘Otir last report closed upon an inactive mar
ket, as but few buyers came forward, and these
generally claimed a more considerable conces
sion in prices, in view ot the unfavorable advi
ces pCr'Europ.a, than holders were inclined to
yield. Since then the market has continued in
a very dull state, and under the same circum
stances, as buyers lur the North appear to have
nearly closed their operations, at least for the
present, while the limits of most foreign orders
are b-low the asking rates of holders. The ad
vices from the North, too, received yesterday by
telegraph, were not calculated to assist our mar
ket, Sis‘they report a decline at New-York of 1-2
a cent per pound Cilice the arrival ot the Euro
pa. Under all rite.se obstacles to activity, the
business continues quite limited, amounting lor
the past three days to barely 4900 bales—viz:
f2oo bn Wednesday, 1300 on Thursday and
2400 yesterday—and making a total for the
week of 8800 bales, the hulk of which lias been
taken for Spain, France, fee. with some few
parcels for England and the North. In the few
transactions above noticed, and which have
generally been in email lots, prices bale exhibit
ed considerable im:gl:laray, and our quotations
must b ‘ looked upon as in a great measure nom
inal, though lectors generally are indisposed to
submit to ariv marked decline.
The receipts at this'part since September Ist,
(exclusive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida
and Texas) are 712,674 bales, against 951,352
bales to same date last year; and the decrease
in tiie receipts at all the ports, up to the latest
date's, as compared with last year, is 531,261
bales. In the exports froth tile United States
to foreign countries, as compared with the same
dates last Year, there is a decrease of 418,116
bales to Great Britain, 6091 to France, and 93,-
9i7 bales to other foreign ports.
Front the Advertiser Price.- Current, April 13
Review of the Mobile Co'.toa Market’.
Our last report closed on a dull, quiet market,
sales for the w eek being 6800 bales, at 7-8 cts.
for middling. On Saturday the demand was
fair, buyers looking tor some reduction in prices
subsequent to the unfavorable advices received
The previous dav from Liverpool, by telegraphic
despatches; in this they were generally disap
pointed, holders remained very firm, and the ve
ry sipali stock offering tended t > strengthen their
position, in ‘conSCijitence, the sales, reached only
800 bales, on sowewhat easier terms, but with
*ut any quotable change. Monday was a dull,
dragging dav : transactions were almost nomi
nal, not exceeding 309 bales, at previous rates.
Ull Tuesday rather more was done, some 1000
bales finding buyers— r the firmness of holders
being unaltered. Wednesday was another qui
et day, there was rather more disposition to sell,
but no abatement in prices, and the sales were
scarcely 100 biles. On Thursday the demand
was again more active, hut without resulting in
any large transactions—the sales bring only 890
bales, at very full prices. The demand on Fri
day ’was quite general, sales were fully 2,500
calcs at very foil, Slid .in many cases, at rather
better rates than previously paid, the market
closing quite firmly at our quotations, which we
slightly advance. The total sales of the week
ar 500 bales, taken mostly tor France and Eng
land, quite a small portion by our Northern buy
ers. arid sprihe ‘local speculators. The. receipts
of the week amount to 4,330 hales, and exports
to 10.366. hales—leaving the stock on hand and
on shipboard not cleared. 97,255 bales. Total
receipts of the season up to date, 30 4,352 bales,
against 476 569 bales same time last year.
The Supply ol Cotton.
To the Editor of the Liverpool Times :
Sir : Tffe writer of your commercial article last week
noticed the fact of the stock of cotton in America being
20.000 bate- more than la t year, and the stock in Liv
erpool being 100.000 : more but he omitted to notice that
the amount at sea last year was over 300.000 balds, wlifl't
note the amount known to have cleared, not arrived,
cannot exceed 80,000, hates if it reaches it.
The opinion of the probable result of the present crop
is exciting ft gteat deal nf intere-t, and anything that
tend- to throw light upon tin subject must have a bene
ficial effect on tiie present dull state of things in Man
chester.

And the total receipts of the season to latest
dates v ........v . .1.500,000
By these figures it is apparent that the receipt- are
falling off steadily, and we may very safely assume that
they will continue to fall in the same steady way for the
remainder of th'e season : therefore.

No doubt many think that those figures are even too

it is always well to take tiie highest figures to prevent
uisappointment. *

REUBEN RICH’S CENTRE VENT WATER WHEEL
TO THE PUBLIC!
A NOTICE appears in the “Columbus Enquirer,” of the 16th instant, purporting to
be tin acceptance by W, H. Morris, of my Water Wlieel challenge—which if strictly .scru
tinized wili bo found to be a most pitiable effort to delude the public into such an impres
sion. A proffer is made to bet SSOO, ‘that the Morris Wheel will do more sawing and grind
ing thaq mine, “the openings in each wheel being the same.” A principle contended for in
my wheel—and one on which 1 stand prepared to demonstrate — is that its peculiar construc
tion limits, the discharge of water* to .just one-half the measurement of the openings. Thus
a wheel with openings measuring 224 inches dicharges but 112 Inches of water. On the
other hand, the Morris Wheel, with similar openings, or 224 inches, would discharge full
that, quantity., It follows, therefore, thatunder the‘test proposed by Morris, he would secure
to his wheel, the use of just double the water employed by mine ; and the public will easily
detect in the notice referred to, a measurable effort to delude them into belief that Morris
” ill bet on the supeiiority of Lis wheel over mine, both operating under like heads, audem
jiloyit.g or discharging a like quantity of water. Another proposition is to determine the
discharge, by measuring the gates ! Now it is plain,lf a given quantity of water only, can
be vented by a wheel, (a proposition which I presume will be undisputed,) it would not be in
creased by using a gate sufficient to pass half dozen times that tmantity — or were we indeed
to remove the gate, and allow the wiicile steam to pass Wo the Scroll or trunk, get the dis
charge of the wheel would not be increased.
H cnee the fallacy of attempting a gate measurement, as proposed by Morris l -—and equally
applicable is my former remark to such a proposition.
It is a blind—palpably designed to misled the Public’ _. .
If Morris realls entertains the faith with which he seems as solicitiotls to Inspire others — he
will accept the following challenge—Embodying as it does terms even more favorable than
any .heretofore proffered him.
Limiting his wheel, to the quantity of watcr.required by mine under any named head, to per
form any given quantity of work. 1 will bet him one thousand dollars that his wheel will not
be able to do the work in the same time. Arid if he so desires—l will add the following viz:
U ive hundred dollars, that thus arranged my wheel w ill do 25 per cent more in the same space
ol time. Five hundred on o 0 per cent. more. Five hundred on 35 per cent. more. Five
hundred on 40 per. cent. more. l ive hundred on 45 per cent. more. Five hundred on 50
percent, more and finally Five hundred, on doing three times as much and again, if this be
not sulliciently tempting. I will couple with the foregoing. One hundred Dollars that with
the two wheels geared to each other, my Wheel - , will reverse the action of his —and Five hun
dred dollars more, that thus fettered my wheel will do more work than his unencumbered ! !
And to cap the climax, I hereby obligate and bind myself, to pfefnU him with five hundred dol
lars, whenever he will lodge the money necessary In cover the above, in the hands of any unobjectiona
ble party. The entire, trial to be made under the supervision of mutually agreed u pon Millwrights
of known capacity and fairness. REfJBEN RICH, Per Agent.
