The «tanM„g wu A e pt op into the "wee ama’ hours," and all passed off In the moat agreeable manner to all participating. Pecu- niarly, also, the ball was a complete success, and waa the means of raising a handsome fund for the pro posed charity. The Skidaway Shell Hoad.—The work of grading the branches of the Skidaway Shell Road leading to Thunderbolt and Bonaventure has been commenced, and is now being pushed vigorously forward, under the supervision of Col. W. B. Pritchard. It will be seen by a notice in another column that a second in stallment on the capital stock has been called in. Auction Sale of Hay.—Messrs. E. E. Hertz k Co sold auction yesterday 109 bales damaged hay, a portion of the cargo of the schooner Swan, at SO cents per 100 pounds. Foe Norfolk.—The steamer Clarion, which has been running to Darien, &c\ during the past season, having been drawn off on account of the uulness of steamboat business, will leave for Norfolk this morn ing. The steamer L. Enos, will also leave for Haiti, more in a few days. If our readers would have a really delicious toile* luxury we would advise them to use Eac Ahoma- tique. It is made by the celebrated house of Caswell, Mack & Co., under the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York. It gives a most deliciously clean and cooling taste to the mouth, keeps the gums hard and healthy, besides yielding a fine perfume to the breath. Sold by Lippman. Savannah.

B. LUCK. SAVANNAH MARKET. Remarks. Friday, May 1,1866. The fluctuations in the value at gold in New York having been wider than usual this week, ranging from 25 to 29 prem., the price of Sterling has varied from day to day, ranging from 29 to 33 prem.; closing at about 32 for prime Bill*. There is very little Sterling offering, the indisposition to sell cotton curtailing the supply of Exchange, both in London and New York; checks on the latter point are very scarce and have improved H to a on last week’s rates. We quote S. Y. sight discount out of doors; in Bank, par; and for 1 to 3 dya. to y, discount. Cotton.—Our market has this week exhibited a quieter feeling then at any time during the season, with probably smaller sales than have yet been re ported. This has been caused by the unyielding na ture of our holders who will not put oat a line of Middling at under 30c $ lb. - To-day 28c was offered for Middling and was refused. The advices of next crop seems to impart confidence to holders which may be considered undue, when the great quantity to be received in Europe is to be placed to the debit of high pr ices, as acting like a ” wet blanket’ ’ on any ad vance to he expected from there. Still wewould con sider it a very serious matter the general cry of short crop, particularly when planters would be benefltted by giving a better account of their prospects, in order to obtain the necessary advance. We would quote— Good Middling Nominal and scarce.
