Cotton. —Our semi-weekly report left the Cot
ton market inactive, but this was owing in a
considerable degree to the light supply offering,
and the very full rates demanded by factors,
though there was also a general desire to be in
possession of the Cambria’s accounts, which had
been looked for some days by telegraph. On
Wednesday buyers came forward and took about
3400 bales, for which sellers generally obtained
out side figures. On Thursday, parties} being
still without the Cambria's advices, but little
b tsincss was done t’l >u 0 h ful r tes wer? j aid in
the few transactions that took place, which
amounted to about 1100 bales. Yesterday morn
ing the Cambria's account came to hand, and
proved even more favorable for Cotton than had
been expected. The sales at Liverpool for the
week ending on the 12th ultimo, being reported
at 42,000 bales, (10,000 on speculation) at an
advance of l-8d per lb. This intelligence
brought forward some few buyers, but factors
were different ab nit selling until receipts of
the Canada’s advices, now about due by tele
graph, or claimed, a larger advance than pur
chasers were prepared to pay; consequently the
business was restricted to barely 1000 bales—
making a total for the week of 11,500 bales, a
part of which had been taken for the North, but
the greater portion for England and the Conti
nent. Prices have continued to tend in favor of
sellers, and we again find it necessary to ad
vance our quotations fully an 1-8 a 1-4 centpcr lb.
the grades, of which there is but a very light
supply offering. The certainty of a short crop,
the independent position of holders generally,
and the very unfavorable accounts from the in
terior respecting the growing crop, which, be
sides being retarded in its progress by an unpro
pitious Spring, is now exposed to damage in
many sections by entensive overflows, all tend
to the maintenance of a firm market.
The receipts at this port since September Ist,
(exclusive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida
and Texas) are 740,540 bales, against 1,011,053
bales to the same date last year: and the de
crease in the receipts at all the ports, up to the
latest dates, as compared with last year, is 603,-
073 bales. In the exports from the United States
to foreign countries, as compared with the same
dates last year, there is a decrease of 456,490
bales to Great Britain, 35.615 to France, and
1)6,053 bales to other foreign ports.

Charleston, April 6,
Cotton. —The Colton Market was brought to
a stand on Saturday last, as there was not a
single transaction in the article.
Liver tool, April 12.—There has been an ac
tive demand for cotton from the trade and on
speculation since the departure of the last steam
er, with an advance of l-Bd. per lb. in American,
but without improvement in prices of other des
criptions. Trade in Manchester continues in an
unsatisfactory state, for whilst ihe particular
kinds of goods and yarns suitable lor India have
slightly participated in the improvement in our
market, the spinners and manufacturers of the
heavier descriptions are placed in a materially
worse possition by the advance in Cotton of l-2d.
per lb. from the lowest point three weeks since,
without the least improvement in the prices of
their fabrics, and creating on their part increas
ed determination to resort still further to short
time.
The import of cotton during the week amounts
93,161 bales, of which 17,560 bales are Surats,
the high price of American having again attract
ed to this market heavy shipments of this class :
of cotton, the quantity now on the way being
63,000 bales against 7000 bales at this time last
year.
The sales for the week ending last evening ;
amount to 43,100 bales, of which speculation !
have taken 10,210 and exporters 3,990 bales.—
The American descriptions sold consist of 13,-
960 Uplands at 5 7-8 a 7 1-4; 15,520 Orleans at
6 3-3 a 8 1-4 : 2,970 Mobiles and Alabamas at 6
a 0 7-8, and 320 Sea Islands at 11 1-4 a 17 l-2d.
pe r lb.
The official quotations are Fair Orleans 4 l-8d:
fair Mobiles 6 1-8.; fair Uplands 6 3-4d. per lb.;
middling qualities 6 1-2 a 6 3-4d. per lb.; the sales
for to-day being estimated at 8000 to 10,000 bales
with 4000 bales on speculation and for export,
the market closing firmly.
The stock of cotton in this port is called 566,-
000 bales, of which 357.000 are American, a
gainst a stock at this period of last year of 515,-
000 bales, of which 335 were American.
Liverpool, April 13.— Cotton. —All descrip
tions of American have advanced fully 1-Sd. per
pound. Total sales of the week ending on Fri
day 42,000 bales, of which exporters have taken
4000 and speculators 10.000 bales. The follow

HAVRE, APRIL 10.— Cotton —Since Wednesday
we are in possession of our advices per steamer Canada,
with dates from New-York to the 20th ult.,and New
Orleans to 16th of same month, by a telegraphic des
patch. These advices produced here an active demand
on Thursday and Friday ; but since then, our accounts
of the English market not being so stimulating, we have
remained exceedingly dull, with languid rates and one
franc lower than our previous quotations. Spinners do
not appear to have any confidence is our actual prices,
owing to the considerable v ariations our market has gone
through during the last three montlte ; tlsie feeling nas,
therelore, an unfavorable intluence over the article and
keeps down the price of yarn. The sales of the last sen
night do not exceed 4,600 halt?, against 16,500 bale? im
ports, and wc remain with a stock on hand of 78,100
bale?.
From the New Orleans Bulletin.
Supply ot American Cotton.
As we are approaching the close of the season,
when the accounts are to be figured up, curiosi
ty increases as to the final result of the crop.
The follow ing estimates, which We take from the
New-York Herald, appear to be based upon
sound promises. They will, however.be approv
ed or condemned by the two classes of dealers
which make up every market—buyers and sell
ers—as their interests may respectively control
their opinions:
“This being a subject of great importance—
important to this country, as it forms the princi
pal element of our export, and important next
to bread to Great Britain, forming as it does the
great article bv which she keeps her manufac
turing population employed, who would other
wise probably adopt the agrarian system and
take by force"part of the property of their more
wealthy neighbor. I have, therefore, submitted
the following statement:
Crop of cotton 1849 and ? 50 . 2,000,000
Stock of American cotton all in the ports ot
Great Britain, Jan. 1, 1850 389,900
Total supply for 1850 2,389,900
Not including the stocks in this country, and the con
tinent which wo presume w ill be about the same Jan. 1,
1851. as they were the first of this year.... 2,389,900
Estimated annual consumption—Uni
ted States. 500,000
Continent, including what is sent
from Great Britain 750,000
Leaving for Great Britain 1,189,900
Provided she suffers this country and the. Continent to
take 1,250,000, which is 200,(XX) bales less than they
took last year.
The next thing to be considered is, how doe? this quan
tity left for Great Britain compare with her fonner con
sumption of American cottons. The following is the
record:
American Cotton taken for consumption in Great Brit
ain for the last ten years.
1810 1,251.300 1845 1.574,400
1841 1,192.300 1816 1,586,900
1,842 1,160,100 1847 1,157,800
1343 1.367,300 1848 1.463,600
1814 1,128.600 1819 1,590,400
Which statement shows that slut has consumed
more American cotton every year, for the last
ten years, than the whole supply she has for this
\ear, one of which years (1847) she was ttearl)
prostrated by bankruptcy, owing chiefly to the
potatoerot; and even that year she consumed
1,357.50 U bales American cotton, being 17.00 Q
bales more than the whole supply this year, when
she has cheap bread and a superabundance ol
money.

REUBEN CENTHE WHEEL,
TO THE PUBLIC!
A NOTICE appears in the “Columbus Enquirer,” of the 16th instant, purporting to.
be an acceptance by W. H. Morris, of my Water Wheel challenge—which if strictly scru
tinized will be found to boa most pitiable effort to delude the public into such an impres
sion. A proffer is made to bet §SOO, that the Morris Wheel will do more sawing and grind
ing than mine, “the 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 otic-half the measurement of the openings. Thus
a wheel with openings measuring 224 inches dicharges but 1115 inches of water. On the
other hand, the Morris Wheel, with similar openings, or 224 inches, would discharge full
224 inches of water. It follows, therefore, that under the test proposed by Morris, 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 inten
tions than any such bet. Another proposition is to determine the discharge, by measuring
the gates ! Now, as Wheels of similar sizes frequently have gates of different dimen
sions, the fallacy of a “gate measurement” as proposed by Morris, is apparent —and equal
ly applicable is my former remark to such a proposition.
It is a blind—palpably designed to mislead the Public!
If Morris really entertains the faith with which he seems so solicit ions to inspire others—he
will accept the following challenge—Embodying as it does terms even more favorable than
any heretofore proffered him.
CHALLENGE.
Limiting his wheel, to the quantity of water required by mine under anv 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. And if he so desires—l will add the following viz:
Five hundred dollars, that thus arranged my wheel will do 25 per cent more in the same space
of time; Five hundred on 30 per cent more ; Five hundred on 35 per cent, more; Five
hundred on 40 per cent- more; Five hundred on 45 per cent, more; Five hundred on 50
per cent, more, and finally, Five hundred, on doing three times as much ; and again, if this be
not sufficiently tempting, I will couple with the foregoing, One thousand Dollars that with
the two wheels geared to each other, ihy 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 fixe 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 be made under the supervision
of mutually agreed upon Millwrights of known capacity and fairness. REUBEN RICH.
P. S.—l respectfully tender the above challenge also to the Hotchkiss wheel.
The public will not regard any notice? of ‘‘challenge accepted,” See., until informed that the money has been
put up in responsible hand?.

FOR THE CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop
ing-Coughs, Croup, Asthma and Consumption.
In offering the community this justly celebrated rem

wish to trifle with the lives or health of the afflicted, but
trankly to lay before them the opinions of distinguished
men, and pome of the evidences of its success, from
which they can judge for themselves. Wc sincerely
pledge ourselves to make no wild assertions of false 1
statements of efficacy, nor will we hold out any hope ;
to suffering humanity which facts will not warrant.
Many proofs arc here given, and we solicit an inquiry I
from the public into all we publish, feeling assured thev
will find them perfectly reliable, and the medicino worthy j
their bo;t confidence and patronage.

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