ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA,
SEVEN WAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
By a Telegraphic despatch received in this city,
at 6 o’clock, p. m., yesterday, we are informed of
the arrival of the Steamer Cambria, bringing Liv
erpool dates to the 13th ult.. and accounts of an
advance of 1-Sd. in Cotton.
Competition among (iin Makers.
We find the following under the head of “official”
in the Columns of the National Intelligencer. If
there is any thing to be made out of the proposition.
Southern men ought to get the advantage of it. The
reward of_sooo Rupees, (about §2700) is the small
est part of the consideration. We presume the south
ern Cotton planters have about the most approved
‘‘cotton cleaning machine” which has ever been in
vented, and in that line, if we are not mistaken, Co
lumbus can turn out about as complete an article as
the ingenuity of the ‘‘universal Yankee nation” lias
Vet devised.
Communicated by the consul of the United Slates ‘
at the port of Calcutta.
The Government of India having, at the sugges
tion of the Agri-1 horticultural Society of India, an
nounced that a space of Rupees Five Thousand sliall
be given for an improved cotton cleaning machine,
(unrestricted by any particular mechenica! principle,)
such as, in the opinion of the Government, shall have i
fully attained the principal object described by the
Society, namely, “to be so perfect in its action in sep- ;
crating cotton wool from the seed, and possessing
such qualities of expedition, simplicity, and compara
tive cheapness, as to render it likely to come into
practical use,” and the Agri-llorticultural Society
having determined to adjudge its Gold Medal for the
same object, it is hereby notified that the following
are the conditions under which the above and other
prizes will be-, awarded:
CONDITIONS.
1. The machine shall lie capable of separating
the ordinary short staple cotton grown in India from
the seed.
2. Each competitor shall depositc, free of charge,
a full sized working machine in the society's Rooms,
Metcalfe llall, Calcutta, together with a letter des
criptive of the machine and the mode of \\prking it,
addressed to the Honorary Secretary of the Agri-
Horticultural Society of India, on or before the Ist
of January, 1852.
3. In the event of no machine being deemed
vbrthy of the full amount of ft,ooo rupees, a smaller
pi'bc will he awarded for the best machine offered, in
proportion to its merits in the estimation of the Gov
ernment of India.
■l. The Society’s Gold Med.il will be given wtth
the Government prize of 5,000 rupees; and in the
event of there being more than one competitor, a sil
ver medal will la.- awarded for the next best machine,
provided it shows much ingenuity and comparative
success.
Notice is hereby also giver, that the Agri-llorti
cultural Society of India will be prepared to award
(subject to the same conditions as those named above)
a silver medal and the sum of 250 rupees, placed at
its disposal by Major Jenkins, Agent to the Goven- !
*>r General in Assam, for an efficient cotton thresh- 1
ing machine, adapted to free from trash either seed i
cotton or cotton wool of the indigenous kinds.
N. 15. Samples of Indian seed cotton can be obtain- j
til on application to I)r. Royle, or Messrs. GrinJlay |
•fc Cos., after the Ist June next.

CoM'T.riKvr to I’atjik!: Matiikw.—A
Protestant gentleman of this city, c d brat and
for his many deeds of clia ity, hut whose acts j
of beuevoletiee are done i;i that truly ('lnis- |
ti;tn spirit which saveth, “when thou driest
alms, let not thy ! ft hand know what thy right j
hand doeth,” was introduced to the worthy
Father day before yesterday/ and so iiiueh
was he pleas'd with the inti t. meek, and
modest demeanor of the distinguished “Apos- ;
tie of Temperance,” that he yesterday depos- j
ited with us the handsome sum of fifty del- 1
Lars as a donation to Father Mathew, subject;
to the order of any of the gentlemen recently j
appointed as a committee to collect a sub- .
scription from the friends of temperance, as ;
a testimoni.nl of esteem for the venerable Fa- !
tlier. —.V. O. Picayune.
The Nicaragua Question.— According *
to the letter writers this question has been I
settled a dozen times, but it seems the end is j
not vet. The Washington Union of the 14th ;
says:
We understand that a treaty for the adjust- !
incut of the Nicaragua question has been pro- \
posed by .Mr. IJulwer to the Secretary of j
State, with the condition that it be promptly \
ratified or rejected; and that, if it be accept
ed by the President, it will be immediately
submitted to the Senate for their ratification.
We cannot undertake to specify the details. |
Sunday Travelling.—The stockholders
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have j
been for some time past ballotting on the j
question of discontinuing Sunday travelling, j
At the last report the majority was in favor
qf continuing it, by 5,970 shares.
Free Schools in Mississippi.— The Leg- !
islature of Mississippi has appropriated §*2oo,- :
000, for which the pimple are to be taxed, to j
be distributed among the several counties in
proportion to the number of children, to es- j
Oddish a system of free schools. Steps are !
also being taken to procure an accurate re- i
turn of the number of children between the •
ages of six and twenty years.
Rhmin'c,~A New York paper, sometime j
ago, published a report of police case in the j
following humorous style:
“One Christopher Twist ordered Hannah
.M’Crist to staqd still and be kissed. But j
Hannah gave such a deuce of a shout, at 1
what Twist was about, that a watchman
named Top, came up with a hop, and march
ed Twist to a shop. But M’Gristnot being
there, to the kissing to swear. Twist was
cleared by the chair, and made tracks like a
hare.”
Various pendants to this appeared in vari
ous papers;, but none more amusing than the
following:
“Pray what’s to bo said on such a strange
head, as belonged to this Hannah, whose
Boisterous manner, so frightened poor Kit out
of his wit, that he gave up the job soon as
knock’d on the nob *”
“\\ by the instant she miss’d him she wish
ed she had kiss’d him.”
A Difficulty Solved.— A merchant ex
amining a hogshead of hardware, on compar
ing it with the invoice, found all right except
one hammer, “O, don’t be troubled, my
honey,” said the Irish porter, “sure the nager
took it out to open the hogshead with.”

HIGHLY IMPORTANT!
FEGM THE BRITISH PROVINCE Os NEW BRUNSWICK.
From the St. John Observer, Oct. 17. 1818.
As at this season of the year and throughout the win
ter months,coughs and colds are the most prevailing of
: the various ills that hesh is heir t<>, we would advise
such of our readers and others who may be thus
i afflicted, to avail themselves of that excellent medi
j cine, “ Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry,” which, judg
i ing from our own experience, and that of others, wccon
! sidcr as being one of the safest and most effectual reme
dies that has ever been concocted for the above com-.
; plaints, and which meets with the cordial approval of
j many of the best physicians. And as delays arc dan
! gerous, and coughs ’and colds frequently terminate in
; consumption, this efficacious and agreeable remedy
| should at once be resorted to. Mr. S. L. Tilley is the
agent in this city, who can enumerate many instances in
which the most pleasing results have followed from the
use of “ Wistar’s Balsam.”
From the Evening Mirror, N. March 30, 1849.
WLSTAR S BALSAM —We regard the Wild Che
rry tree as one of nature's own physicians, a sort of good
Samaritan of the forest; for its “medical gum” has re
lieved the stifle-rings and saved the lives ol thousands.
The Balsam prepared by Dr. Wistar is a pure and per
fectly reliable preparation of the real Cherry essence,
and it is a remedy by no means “bad to take.” We
speak confidently and strongly in its praise, from having
witnessed its renovtaing influence in consumptive eases,
j when all other prescriptions had proved of no effect.

[From the New Orleans Bulletin.]
New Orleans, April 27,1550.
The market, generally ha.-; exhibited rather more ac
tivity during tile pa.-t week, and the prices of tevcral
leading articles have evinced a decided improvement.
Our principal staple in particular, has received a mate
rial impulse from the. favorable accounts by the steamer
America (not the Hibernia as previously advised) and
as will be seen bv the details below, the closing prices
are aie above last week's currency, while the sales
sum up 19,000 hale-, which is an excess of 8,225 over
the receipts during the same period.
Freights have continued to recede, and Cotton has
been shipped at the extremely low rates of id per lb. in
British bottoms to Liverpool, and 75c per bale to the
North. Both freights and domestic Exchange have
maintained the improvement noticed in our last weekly
review.
Cotton. —We noticed in our la -t review, sales dur
ing the early part of the week, to the extent of a little
upwards of 6,000 bales, and stated that the market had
closed with increased firmness, at an advance of about
Jo, eau.cl by the favorable tenor of the steamer's ac
count The business that has transpired since has been
still ‘more under the control of factors, and the upward
prices being stimulated by the extremely low rate of
freights, and the course of Exchange, we. have now to
notice a further improvement of about ic on Middling
descriptions, making our quotations Sc above llio.-e pre
vious to the America’s arrival. The demand has been
p-ertv general, buyers for England, France, Spain the
Mediterranean, the North of Europe and the Northern
cities, all participating in the business to a greater or j
less extent. The sales comprise 3,750 bales on Wed
tie-day, 6.000 on Thursday, and 3,100 yesterday, malt- |
ing an aggregate for the three days of 12.850 bales, and |
of the week of about 19,00°, Operations were restricted |
yesterday more by tin-extreme views of factors than by
any foiling off of the demand, and much beavio’ busi
ness would, no doubt, have transpired, and the former
been freer sellers. •
The receipts since the 2-lth inst. embraces 6.064 bales
against 6,-120 during the corresponding period last sea
son, and the exports 11,699, of which 2,981 were to
Liverpool,2,94B to Havre, 3,243 to Barcelona, 302 to
Genoa, 2,061 to 80-ton, and 161 to New York, mak
ing a decrease in the stock of 5,615 bales, and leaving
on hand, inclusive of all on shipboard, not cleared last
evening, 165.894 bales, against 229.227 at the same time
last year, Week’s receipt 10,765 bales. Exports to
Foreign ports 16,333. coa-twise 1,055, total 20,368. The
decrease in the receipt at all the port, row amounts to
571,414 bales.
Liverpool, April s. — The steamer"* accounts,
received Tuesday morninfr, showing the receipts
of Cotton at the ports of America to be 310,000
bales less than at the same tuna last year, had !
an immediate and sensible effect upon out iriar
kc*. The demand lor speculation, which had
long been asleep, was revived, and as there were
orders for export lying over, they \yjpre also
brought into the market. The consequence was
that the transactions of buisness both on Tues
day and Wednesday were considerable, result
ing in an advance on the week of l-4d to 3-8d
on the middling qualities of American, a full
l-8d on Brazil, and hardly l-8d on Surats, \ 7 es- ■
terday, however, the speculative demand not j ‘
having been adequately supported by the trade, ; J
we became languid, and the amount of sales on- j
ly moderate, and we so continue this morning. |
No doubt the almost certainty of a short crop j
justifies in the long run much confidence in the j
article of Cotton; but in order to produce an ’
abiding effect upon prices, it is necessary that a |
good state of trade should go along with it. : ,
This latter point is our difficulty. It is the dis- 1
couraging nature of the Manchester accounts
which keeps us in check. Probably also the dis
astrous results of railway speculations, affecting
as they do nearly the whole community, have
much to do with the depressed state of all man
ufacturers and commerce, as well as the value
of produce. The Committee of Brokers place \
fair Uplands at 65-Bd, Mobiles, (53- ld. and Or
leans, 7 l-Bd. 13,330 American, 20 Egyptian,
and 1250 Bahia have been taken on speculation,
and 2GOO American, 100 Suret, 800 Pernam, and
30 Bahia for export. Sales for the week, 43,880
bales.
Manchester, April s.—The improvement re
ported as existing at the close of the preceding
week, continues. Practically; however, it is
confined to certain classes of 40-inches shirtings
for India and China, and some descriptions of
printing clothes, an advance upon to former,
varying from 1 l-2d to 3d per piece,, has been
established: upon the latter it will amount to
about 1 l-‘2d per piece. . -

and the attendant symptoms of consumptions, com- !
mcneed the use of the ‘Cherry Pectoral,’ and had com- j
pletely recovered.”
HEAR THE PATIENT.
Dr. Ayer—Dear Sir: For two years I was afflicted
with a very severe cough, accompanied by spitting of
blood and profuse night sweats. By the advice of my
attending physician I was induced to use your “Cherrv j
Pectoral,” and continued to do so till I considered myself
cured,and ascribe the effect to vour preparation.

which grew yearly worse until last autumn, it brought !

The Faculties for intellectual abilities’, moral worth
| and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
’ with the most distinguished in our country. The medi
cal faculty constituted an anomaly in this or any other
! country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of
j teachers.
Those who contemplate our geographical position,
! and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as
! to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the
I kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many students
relative to the place of studying medicines; those who
intend practicing among the diseases of the West and
South should certainly educate themselves at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of
I this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
l tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
| well for its future success; and that the peculiar internal
: organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.

leuben’kmllemMlent^water wheel,
TO THE PUBLIC!
A NOTICE appears in the “Columbus Enquirer,” of the 10th instant, purporting to
be an acceptance by W. 11. Morris, of my Water Wheel challenge—which if strictly scru
tinized wiil be 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 than mine, “Ike openings in each wheel being the same.” A principle contended for in
my wheel—and one which I stand prepared to demonstrate—-is that its peculiar construc
tion limits the discharge of water, to just one-kal f 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 \\ heel, with similar openings, or 224 inches, would discharge full
224 inches of water. It follows, therefore, that under the test, proposed b v .Mon is, he would se
cure 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 miserable effort to delude them into the belief that Morris
will bet on the superiority of his wheel over mine, both operating under like heads, and em
ploying or discharging a like quantity of water, while nothing is more foreign to his iuten- j
tions than any such bet. Another proposition is to determine the discharge, by measuring j
the gates! Now, as Wheels of similar sizes frequently have gates of different dimen- j
sions, the fallacy of a “gate measurement” as proposed by Mun j.-,- is apparent—and equal- ■
ly applicable is mv former remark to such a proposition,
It is a blind—palpably designed to mislead the Public!
It Morris really entertains the faith with which he seems so soUcitjous to Inspire others—he j
will accept the following challenge—Embodying as it does terms even more favorable than
anv heretofore proffered him.
CHALLENGE.
Limiting his wheel, to the quantity of water required by mine under any named head, to per
form any given (puintUy of work, I will bet him one thousand dollars that his wheel will not
be able to do the work in the same time. And if he so desires—l will add the following viz:!
L ive hundred dollars, that thus arranged my wheel will do 25 per cent more in the same space j
of time; Live hundred on SO per cent, more ; Five hundred on S5 per cent, more; Five I
hundred on 40 per cent, more; Five hundred on 45 per cent, more; Five hundred on 50 !
per cent, more, and finally, 1‘ ive hundred, on doing three times as much ; and again, if this be j
not sufficiently tempting, I will couple with the foregoing, One thousand 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 present him. with jive hundred dol
lars, whenever he will lodge the money necessary to cover the above, in the hands of any unobjection
able party, the measurement of water, and indeed the entire trial to by made under the supervision j
oi mutually agreed upon Millwrights of known capacity and fairness. REUBEN RICH.
P. S.—l respectfully tender the above challenge also to the Hotchkiss wheel.
Tlic public will not regard aey notices of “challenge accepted,” Ac., until informed that the money has been
put up in responsible hands. . *
