All ve hicles employed in such conveyance or transportation shall be liable to seizure and forfeiture by proceedings in any Court of the United States.” On Babies; —We had the pleasure yesterday, of seeing a very fine baby ; unquestionably the finest of the season. As baby shows are not in vogue here, we can only commisserate those of our readers who are not privileged to see this nonpareil specimen of infantine humanity.— Charleston Courier. Any number of fine babies are to be seen up here, and at any time, brother. There is one in the Ward we live in that would astonish you. What do you think of six or more being born in a neighborhood in three consecutive nights ? The Lecture at Masonic Hai.i, To- Niciit.— Egypt, dark and terrible— Sinai, with its living fire —Palestine, soft and beautiful iu the evening light, yet red as if “stained with the blood of redemption” these are the sacred lands—the historic centres of our faith, through which an eye-witness of their scenery will conduct us for three suc cessive evenings. All are interested. Let all attend. Eccentricities of Simile Life.— An old bachelor recently invited a young lady from a neighboring city to take refreshments at a saloon. Without consulting the preference of the fair guest, he ordered two stews, and upon their appearance smoking hot, the lady declined to partake, saying she “never ate stews.” Her gallant companion thereupon made way with her share and his own, “cleaned the plate and licked the platter clean,” and escorted his hun gry friend to her home. What mon sters some of these bachelors are ? Recorder's Court. —But few cases up yesterday. A young married man from the rural district, for a slight vioj lation of the 18th Section, was fined $1 and costs. Three freedmen were before the Court for a slightly aggravated violation of the same Section. Two were fined $5 and sentenced to 15 days on the streets each. The third one was discharged on paying $1 and costs. New Horse Shoe. —A horse shoe has been invented which is in two parts or lifts, the first being nailed to the foot in the usual manner, and the second se cured to the first. The calks have wedge-shaped heads, counter sunk on the inner surface of the outer shoe-plate, and thus can be renewed without taking the shoe from the horse’s feet. The contrivance ia very simple, and the shoe can be sold at low rates. Sacrilege. — St. Paul’s Episcopal Church was entered yesterday about noon, and robbed of a carpet, several lamps, etc. I The party was seen going out of the back of the" Churchyard with the articles. The carpet and lamps have been recovered by the Police, who are on the track of the thief. Day, Russell & Benjamin will'sell this morning, a variety of articles, con sisting of groceries, wines, furniture, dry goods, etc. Those in want of sudh articles should call in there at the ap pointed time. Ci.tNen Rifles. —The original mem bers of this popular company are re quested to meet next Tuesday evening. Business of importance is to be trans acted. H. Caffin, being obliged to move, is determined to sell out his entire stock, consisting of meat safes, bird cages, second-hand furniture, etc. See his advertisement. D. R. Wright & Co.—Messrs. D. R. Wright & Cos. have received a large lot of goods, to which they invite the atten tion of the public generally, and will sell on the lowest terms. Barbf.cue.— A barbecne will be given at R.

Office daily r«Ess, { Ausruittit, (»a M August 2U. I860.) REMARKS. The market here, at the date of oar last Report, was exceedingly dull; during the past week busi ness has become a little more brisk, and although the Fall trade has not yet act in, atill we have in dications of lively tranaactiona before many weeks. At the present time we deem farther preface un necessary, and proceed to make a few remarks on the ieadiug articles of trade in the Augusta Mar ket. wr It nhould be borne in mind that our quo- I tntioHM represent wholeeale price a. Small bille , to Planters 9nd others, are filled at 9 shade higher rates. FINANCIAL. The demand for Cold nnd Silver during the past week lias been quite fluctuating. Influenced by the probability of a war between Prussia nnd France, Specie rose rapklly, until 1t was bfying at 81 4‘.) aAd selling at 81 , t»2. Dn lecglpt of the news by the (’able, of the amicable adjustment of affairs in Europe, Specie again declined, and still has a downward tendency. When we close our Report, at the last hour from New York dispatches, prices show a decline in jGuld ou lust week's Report of 20., vi*.: v f t. » : Cold, buying 146 Cold, selling 148 Silver, buying 138 Silver, selling 14 J Exchange on New York stands at par. Georgia Rail Road BondJpar ftbd interest. Rut little doing either in Stocks, Bonds, or Uncurrent Notes during the week, and we have therefore no important change to make iA our quotations. The table on the next page has been carefully corrected, and we call your attention to it. BACON.—JThe market has been well supplied, and a moderate demand. Prices, however, favor buyers about l/ jc ? op our last quotations. There is a great deal' of unsmoked Bacon 6n the market, known by the name of Cumberland, which sells a little lower than smoked, buyers generally smoke this Bacon themselves; however,the regular staple kinds oi Bacon stand at the figures quoted, viz.: .Western Shoulders 19(o.lOV£c. per lb ; Bibbed Sides He.; Cleat Sides 23&21c.; Warns 2S(«i 27c.; Country Hog Round 20©20Kc.; Clear Ribbed 21(1c220.; Breakfast 22©23c. BUTTER.—A limited supply on sale; demand good, prices vary: Coslion 45&55c.; Western 40(3; 41c.; Country 30@35c. FLOUR.—'The snpfdy on baud is fully adequate to the demand, the stock being heavy and market to a groat degree dulf. .Very* little has been sold except for home consumption. We quote XX Family Flour at 816 815 00; Superfine sl3 50; other quotations remain unchanged, as per report on next page. Bran 1 \(-c. per ll>.; Sliorfs and fine feed 2c. per lb.; Chicken feed 50c. per bush. SUGAR.—'Hie supply continues good, with a fair inquiry yt tlie fi£urrVof Ihst week’s quotations.

No sweet potatoes, except in retail way, aud these command very high figures. GtItAICT: CORN.— I The market has b&eo quiet. The stock of choice Corn is light; of oilier grades heavier. There has been but little demand this wttk, «„u prices anr tuiUßßldOlf ofT from last week’s quotations.

OATS—Are in excellent demand, and limited supply; 95c.({C$1 00 per bush, are the figures it commands. HAY.—Scarce, stock light, and fair’ inquiry Prices steady at the same quotations as last week. WHEAT. —Mailvetstea4y; aiid a good demand at ?2 50@2 75, wholesale, according to grade. SIJNTIItIPJS. DRY GOODS.—The demand has been moderate, and prices are steady. For full and correct quota tions we refer to our npw table, on the next page. DOMESTICS—Continue brisk; the demand is rapidly increasing, and will do so, as the season advances, prices unchanged. BAGGING.—There has been an increased in quiry, and another advance. We note Gunny at 42@45c. TOBACCO.—The demand is increasing. A brisk trade is done in old Taxbra Tobacco, of which the supply is becoming limited. YARNS. —A better inquiry, stock reduced; pri ces unchanged. WHISKIES.—We note by correspondence with Boyle, Miller & Cos., Cincinnati, and If. 11. liannis & Cos., Philadelphia, that there has been an advance in the Northern market, although our City trade has not yet been affected by it. IRON. —Fair supply with moderate demand, at the figures on next page. COTTON. .At the date of our last Report the market closed dull, 21 >@29 covering the ground. TTiere has been considerable excitement in Cotton during the week, prices shifting; sales have been made of Middlings from 29 to :30c. (buyers paying the tax), and the latter has been stifly asked. On Tuesday the market was easier; but yesterday trade.p'as .very dull and drooping.' I/rttesStaccountfe’from New York and Philadelphia show the state of market there to be Middling uplands Very dull at 34c. The, reduction in the rate of the Bank pf England to 8 per cent, will in due time fcause increased ac tivity In Cotton, and unless a heavy portion of the capital in the hands of speculator lias teen' ab sorbed by the recent failures in England, we think we may look for higher prices of Cotton there. The heavy stock in England now may prevent'any large advance at present. The receipts in this City have been very light, both by wagon and rail road. We close bur'Rcport on a quiet and droop ing market, at the following rates, the BUYERS PAYING THE TAX, vlfc.: Middling a .. Strict M iddling 28 A Good Middling 29 a 30 Wo take the following' extracts from the Weekly Cotton Circular of William Bryce & Cos., dated New York, August i7, > 1^66: Mail advices to August 4t.h have bqen re ceived since our last Circular,.one week.later than mail advices therein reviewed. Sales of the week had footed up 000 bales, 44,750 going to the trade, 24,780 to^exporters, specu lators taking the balance; 24,780 bales of Ame rican wore included in the sales, the trade taking 19.080 bales, export, and speculation the rest- Indian Cotton had continued in request, 37,740 bales being taken, agaiuat 24.700 bales of American. Sea Islands had continued in fair demand, and were perhaps a shade firmer. Egyptian continued to grow scarcer and still dearer. The imports had been quite heavy, footing up 56.331 bales, 10,585 being American. The high rate of interest hsd caused muOh and WAs working of -course against any activity in any of the great commodities. Good stapled Cottons, as we. have .remarked in previous Circulars, are scarce in Liverpool, and command Ikgher relative figures than superior grades. Our own market, as will ho soon from the resume given above, has been drooping and active in' turn, but low in price throughout. For two months a spinning And speculative demand sustained prices here above Liver pool. the speculation basing on short crop prospects induced by t he late Spring and heavy “grass.” Our stock kept increasing, however, and crop prospects, too, very mate rially brighten. The weight of our large stock made itself felt in direct proportion with the improving prospect*, and price* have settled ♦o a point where shippers can relieve the burthen which grows heavier as new Cotton draw.*, nearer. The present decline will act favorably on the price of new Cotton, which will be to Home extent influenced by the amount of old stock we carry over, which must be quite considerable, as nearly 300000 bales are now at the portH. The demand dur ing the week has been for shipping exclusively, and good stapled Cottons have been the most salable, even if lower in grade than are gene rally desired. Texas and Mississippi Cottons have become much reduced in sto'-k.. Gpupy Cloth haw continued to advance, and as it U mostly in speculative hands may go much higher. We doubt if any considerable amount could be bought for less than 37>£@-38 for standard. Hope has likewise advanced; Richardson’s Kentucky Leaf Rope is held at and is largely sold ahead of produc tion Other varieties are in fair supply and equal to any probable demand. The deter mination of the Hon. Secretary of the Treasu ry f° have all temporary loans withdrawn will throw some $6.8,000 (X)0 of currency on the street, and excite lively speculation in many branches of trade. Crop accounts continue exceedingly favorable; some complaints are being made 0/ tbq plant “shedding.” but the general tenor of advices is satisfactory. We congratulate our friends on the work of the Philadelphia Convention—the People have taken into their own hands the question of Kcqpnsjruuiiou, and. there we am -willing to leave it.
