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. The following particulars embrace the sale*’ of the week:—2oo bales at 111, 175 at 11 i, 107 at 111, 260 at 121, 77 at 12 1, 71 at 12, 79 at 12 i, 250 at 12 i , 160 at 11, 350 at 12, 150 at lit, 100 at 12 1, 102 at 13, 301 at 12, 203 at 12 1 204 at Ilia 12, 17 at 131, 119 at 12, 327 at 111, 100 at 12 i. 256 at 12 J. 116 at 131, 43 at 12 , 300 at 121, cents per lb. and about 7000 bales, in various lots, at rates not made public. 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.

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.

April .9. 1850. 16 ts 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.
