Columbus, May 15, 1850. Our Cotton Market has been rather quiet, until within the last lew days, when the accounts ol the overflows in the West, continued rains and unfavorable weather for the growing crop, brought forward some of our largest buyers. Still there is no material change in prices, die demand fa good. We quote extremes, 101 to 111. Columbus, Ga. May 15 The Comparative table will show the falling off at all the ports up to the last dates, as follows: 1849-50 1318-9 N.

We left the cotton market on Tuesday last in hri inactive state, the advices by the Canada, which weie before the public that morning, be ing less favorable in the amount of the advance at Liverpool than parties generally had expected. Th ere was therefore more willingness on the part of holders to dispose of at least a portion of their stocks, but they resisted any marked reduc tion in prices, and thus the sales of Wednesday tind 7'hursday barely reached 1500 bales, at rates slightly in favor of buyers, though without a quo table decline. At an early hour yesterday the telegraph reported the arrival of the Niagara at Halifax, w ith Liverpool dates to the 27th ultimo, and gave a brief summary of her advices. By this it w ould appear that during the w eek subse quent to the departure of the Canada, and w ith out any later advices from this country, the Liv erpool Cotton market further advanced an id on Middling descriptions, the quotation for Or leans being 6 *d, while Fair remained the same * —7 id per lb. The sales of the week are stated at 57,000 bales, and the stock at 54!*,000 bales of which 359,000 bales were American. An im proved state of trade is confirmed, and the re ports of the Havre market are favorable. This intelligence, together with exceedingly gloomy accounts from the interior respecting the crop now in the ground, encouraged several buyers to come forward, and the sales reached about 7000 bales; making a total for the past three days of 8500 bales, and for the week of 16,900 bales, a part of which has been taken for the North, but the great portion for England and the continent. Prices, also, assumed more steadi ness and firmness yesterday, and we retain our quotations of Wednesday last. We have allud edabove to the gloom y accounts from the inte roir respecting the grow ing crop. These are in deed of a most serious character; for what w ith overflows, which from all accounts, are the most extensive ever known on the cultivated lands; the general backwardness of spring, and the re cent remarkably cold w eather, which leads to ap prehensions that frost may have occurred not many degrees north of this point: all these com bine to make this one of the most unpromising seasons thus far that has been known, at least for a number of years. The receipts at this port since September Ist. (exclusive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida and Texas) are 748,255 bales, against 1,021.104 bales to same date last year; and the decrease in receipts at all the ports, up to the latest dates, as compared with last year, is 630,801 bales. In the exports from the United States to foreign countries, as compared with the same dates last year, there is a decrease 0f509,576 bales to Great Britain, 34,780 to France, and 103,920 bales to other foreign ports. The week’s sales are em braced in the following particulars—soo bales at 11 h 28 at 12 *. 350 at 11 J-, 138 at 12 i, 160 at 11 15-16, 100 at 12*, a 12 4, 70 at I*2 f, 109 at Ilf, 265 at 12, 300 at 12*, 190 at 12, 120 at 12, 600 at 12, 33 at Ilf, a 12, 56 at 12 4, 54 at 12 *, 133 at 12 J, 122 at 11 J, 161 at 13, 500 at 12*. 260 ot 12, 52 at 12 A, 500 at 12, 50 at 11 i, 100 at 12 g., 980 at 111, 50 at 12, 682 at 12 *, 228 at 11 1 371 at 12 *, 100 at 12, 50 at 13, 100 at 11J, 371 at 12 *, 100 at 12, 50 at 13, cents per lb, and about 8000 bales, in various lots, at rates not made public. Liverpool Market. LIVERPOOL, April 26.— We have to report another large week's business in cotton with a great proportion for the trade; notwithstanding the demand, prices have been barely advanced j sd. per lb., and even that more particularly ap plies to middling qualities. Fair and uplands being quoted the same as last week with the ex ception of fair uplands which have advanced £d. per lb. The previous quotations of this descrip tion having been considered by many too low. Tire great falling off in the receipts of cotton at the American ports, and the steadiness in this mar ket has enabled spinners and manufacturers to obtain better prices, and given them more confi dence in the present rates, but the relative dear ness of American cptton has caused them again * to turn their attention to Brazil and Surats. The ■ sales of these kinds reaching 19,080 bales. The sales for the week are but 57,000 bales, of which speculators took 12.500 and exporters 4,000 bales. The American descriptions sold, were good Uplands at 6 a 7|d.J G. 600 Mobile and Alabama at 6 a 65, and 17,600 Orleans at 7f a B}, and 700 Sea Island at 94 a 16d. The official quotations are fair Orleans fair Mobile and Upland 7 ; Middling qualities 6$ aOfa 6| per lb. The total stock in tliis port is estimated at 549,000 bales, of which 559.000 are American against a stock at 1 this period last year, of 587,000, of which 306,000 were American. The latest advices from Havre, represent the Cotton Market to have become Very lively since the receipt of the Niagara’s news. Sales for the week are about 11,000 bales at an advance of jd. per lb. •A etc York Market, May 10—64, Evening, The Cotton market to-day was quite active, the sales having reached 5000 bales, middling up land is quoted at 12 to 12Jc. and middling Or leans 128 c. There was also a good demand for Rice, at improving prices. Flour has declined in value 6c. Corn is worth 63 and 01c. There was h sale yesterday at auction of 3WOO bags of, Rio Cotl'ee, which went otTat prices ranging from ; 7f to 9f. New York Market May 11. There was a good demand for Cotton during Saturday.

April 9. 1850. 16 ts REIBEN RICH'S CENTRE VENT WATER 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 be a most pitiable effort to delude the public into such an impres sion. A proffer is made to bet 8500, that the Morris Wheel will do more sawing and grind ing than mine, “the openings in each wheel being the sa?nc.” A principle contended lor 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-half the measurement of the openings. Thus a wheel with openings measuring 2*21 inches dicharges but 112 inches of water.. On the other hand, the Morris YVheel, with similar openings, or 2*24 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 xratcr 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 solicitious 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 any named head, to per form any given quantity 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: 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 he 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 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 notices of “challenge accepted,” &c., until informed that the money has been put up in responsible hand*. Agents of the above Wheel, W.

The rnedi cal faculty constitute** an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt a* to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,; wc deny that any other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of inanv students relative to the place of studying medicine*; those who intend practicing among the disease.* of the YV es-t and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. . , That the public rnav be satisfied of the permanency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus tee* and Faculty form a unit in action, which augur* Well for it-* future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
