Lottery and Banks.—Wc have receiv
ed from r correspondent at Milledgeville, a
copy of the bill providing fur tho survey and
disposal of the new territory, which we in
sert in another column. We have also re
ceived a copy of tho correspondence be
tween Mr. Spalding, the President of the
Rank of Darien, and the Presidents of the
State and Planters’ Banks in this city, on
the subject of an amicable settlement of
the diffiMiccs existing between those in
stitutions, the substance of which we gave
on another occasion, and which, it will be
remembered, eventuated unsuccessfully.—
It is introduced with the following remarks:
“The following documents are submitted
to the Legislature by the Bank of Darien,
for the purpose of removing an impression
which appears to be prevalent, that tho
Bank has been entirely indifferent about,
the depreciation of its bills, and that noth
ing has been dotio by it to restore their
credit.
“It is believed that when tho largo
amount of cotton in Augusta and Savannah
sblall have been shipped, the bills of the
Bank will be restored to their credit by the
natural course of tilings. This cotton is
continually changing hands, and these ope
rations nefes arily create a demand for
Bankable Money. The month of June will,
At is believed, put an end to these opera
tions. The demand for Bankable Money
will then in a great measure cease—and
with it, it is hoped, the difference between
the bills of the Darien Bank and those of
the other state institutions.
“ On the 18th inst. the Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States, deposited in
the Darien Bank one hundred thousand dol
lars, of the funds of the United States—
This shews that the Bank has not lost thf
good opinion of tliut Department.
‘•Ijtatcmonts of the condition oT the Bank
arc forwarded to the Department monthly.
“ May 35, 1823."
Mr. Henrv Crowell has published iu the
Milledgeville papers, a reply to the state
ment of Mr. William G. Macon, which
We published some time since. It is suffi
cient to ssy, that every statement made by
Mr. Macon, in reference to II. Crowell, is
pronounced by the latter “« lie."
Mr. Crowell also in the Macon Mes
senger, denies the statements mude in that
paper, as to- his conversations relative to
the late transactions in the Creek Nation—
and produces the certificates of two per
sons who were present at tiie time tho in
formant ofthc Messenger was at C’s. house,
and who state that they heard no such con
versation as reported. What possible in
terest the informant of the Mncon Messen
ger could nave in uttering a misrepresenta
tion, we are at a loss to discover.
The boat-race., for $ 1000 aside, between
the Whitehall Boatmen and those of Sta
ten Island, took place in the harbor of New
Y-irk. on the 20th instant—tho purse was
won by the former, iter antagonist, being left
about forty, yards in a distance of live miles.
A ruce also took place at Baltimore, on the
19th instant, for 1000 dollars, between a
New York and Baltimore boat—the latter
coming in about 100 yards, m a distance of
one mile and a quarter.'

Copy of a letter dated Manchester, A-
pril 10—The great advance in raw Cotton,
Silk, sheep’s Wool, and l)yo Sliitfs, has pro
duced a relative advance in Cotton, silk,
woulcti and worsted goods. Cotton 1ms
advanced 100 per cent within six months,
and a general expectation of 60 per cent
advance on present prices seems to prevail
anmngthose who are interested iu the trade.
Silk has risen 50 per cent, and sheep’s wool
50 per cent within eix months—and I find
it is believed by thnso who are engaged in
thn trade, that prices will coutiiiue to ad
vance thro’ this year.

several transferwere made for cash, not-

The sales have chiefiy been at 27 and 2H

REMARKS.
COTTON.—A considerable business lias
been limn in Uplands since our lust, princi
pally on'Friday and Saturday, at various
prices, from 24 to 28, and in one instance
us high ns 30 cents we understand were
given for a very prime lot. A pretty large
quantity also changed hands yesterday,
upwards of 2000 bates, at 27$, 28 sud 29
cents. Tiie accounts by the Amethy*/. are
ho fuvorablo, that, holders are asking shout
•2 cento advance on the prices cf the \vA
week. Sea Islands uro held at 60 tn Si5—
we have heard of v»o sales since tiie last
advices from Liverpool* The Hales of the
last week were upwards of 5000 bales.—
Reports were in circulation yesterday,
that nu express had ai rived with more fa*
vorablc intelligence, which may liaveori*
rinated in a large purchase by one hon.-n-
jnt we are sssurred that they were predict*
ted on letters by the Amethyst. The usual
nxiety and bustle however, which imV
succeeds the arrival of an express, hns rrt
been seen—and holders are perfectly wil
ling to sell. It will be perceived by aw
letter under tho commercial head, that i:i
express has been received in that city te®
Charleetoti. Letters of Saturday, receiv
ed here last night, Ktato that they ndvi#
the price of Uplands in the Liverpool Mir*
ket, at 20 a 20$d. We arc inclined to
think, however, that the intelligence re
ceived. is the same us that received here on
Saturday, per Amethyst.
RICE—Continues dull, and maybe quo*
ted nt J3 a 4.
CORN—53 a 65—Quantity in ""'I* 1 *
not large, but fully equal to the demand.
BAGGING—has declined. 25 » f cli
is ns much ns can be realized, though am
is held above thostf rates. The deiniD
however U limited. 100 pieces were ec
on Saturday at 28 cents.
FREIGHTS—Wc quote freights siJl
to 1 j, plenty, there being no vessels hut s
ns are filled in port. We understand o
dors lmvo been sent to Charleston to
gage two or more vessels.
