Mr. Editor :—A communication from Wil liam N. Bishop, in your issue of Saturday last, demands notice; and I give it, though not as part of a controversy. I have long since learn ed that, no matter how corrupt that agent’s acts may be—bowevei arbitrary his disposition, how ever abusive in his intercourse, and regardless of laws or others’ rights—there is a fixed determi nation on the part of the present Georgia State Road authorities to uphold him. I have learned the inutility of appeal by petition for redress of | grievances, or investigation into his course, whether made by special charges in writing to the chief of the road or the Governor of Georgia, or whether by distinct charges through the pub- , lie prints—charges of so serious a nature as to be re-echoed from press to press in Georgia, and there commented on as deserving the strictest investigation and severest punishment; while partial presses have, in irony, declared “it was the Governor’s sworn duty to investigate, and it would be done to the writer’s heart’s content!” ' Those charges vrt exist. They have never been enquired i.ito —while I hold the sworn proof to substantiate each before a proper tribu nal. Those proofs will come torward in a court of justice if the road authorities do not continue to protract a hearing. The object of a controversy, I should suppose, ought to be to elicit truth, upon which justice would be awarded. When an inducement for its promulgation occurs, I will not be backward in resoriing to controversy ; until that time, vulgar assailment of my individual character will be regarded only as to the source lrom which it may spring. The recent assault of the road agent, General Bishop, is nominally given as a reply to a card, with which the public has but little interest: but really is intended lor a joint card which has recently appeared bearing the signature of the firm l represent, and of another of this city—and which has, lortunately, made its appearance in leading Georgia journals: the principal point of which ha;-- reference to the fact, that Gen. Bishop did make oveitures to a gentleman of the first respectability and of unimpeached veracity, and who, over his own signature, has given the fact to the public, the substance of which was “ that, if the firm, of which he was a member , would give their patronage and influence to a certain line of boats to be established ,” (and which recent cir cumstances have proved the agent had a direct and controlling ownership in) “ he, the agent, from the position he occupied, would throw the prin cipal portion of the forwarding business through their hands,” —naming, also, as parties to the transaction, S. R. McCarny, his son-in-law, (in whose business he takes a ('irect interest.) and Messrs. J. F. Brooke & Co., all forwarding'mer chants in trade. That proposition being de clined, he at once wages opposition against the whole class of forwarding merchaats, and. in violation of all laws, assumes entire control over shipments of goods passing through his depot forcing them from their proper channel; brings his own boat into the trade, where it was before not employed, and ships the goods in his own name notwithstanding protests were made with the original bills of lading in the hands of the proper consignees, who were there to claim them. This course was kept up until necessity compelled the interference of the law powers to stop him. Now he stigmatises them as “ trou blesome individuals’’—“useless leaches, who have gormandized upon ill-gotten gain,” and closes by stating “the prospect of great gain speedily obtained has contaminated their morals, and when the least prospect of loosing their un holy gains presents itself, they become desperate, and in such desperation, they become reckless of truth, and publish any and every thing that they suppose will tend to strengthen their sinking cause.” Yet, Mr. Editor, strange as it may ap pear, that agent exults that his tenure of office exist, and he feels at liberty to traduce ad libitum. knowing none have the recklessness to hold hirn to account, and feeling that the people of Geor gia, through their agents, sustain him and ap prove of his vituperations. If the commission merchants could have forgotten themselves, or their duties to their patrons and the public, and had given countenance to his indirect proposition of bribery, there would have been no objections made against them as a class, but, on the contra ry, strong reasons assigned for their support, (if, indeed, the attention of those in authority had ever been called to their existence.) His ob ject was personal, to secure for his boats all the transportation possible, and neither to reduce the prices of his freight, as his own captain affirmed was not his intention, or to break up a class of merchants whose services be now charges are an unnecessary evil and a nuisance. That object is still pursued by sending all freights which he may have reason for controlling entirely in his own boat —delaying them in depot, while his boat is for days repairing, or while despatched on a different direction ; and this, too. notwithstand ing other boats regularly established and pre-ex isting have advised him they would receive all goods which he was legally entitled to ship— but not one package of which has been offered them The commission merchants and merchants generally have, from year to year, been compel led to urge complaints against him. Public meetings have been held, special' committees ap pointed. and resolutions passed denouncing his ► aeency; petitions have been forwarded for a change of management: all of which have been unheeded ; while their only responses have b«uTn personal attacks published to the world traducing their private characters; until now one prefers to submit to almost any inconvenience rather than be subject to the indignity which any out ward compiairit will certainly draw upon him. The authorities of the State Road preaume un wisely. that this section of country is incompe tent for change—that the same agency is re quired for a protection of its interests which was employed in the days of John Howard Payne. Outlaws and savages may have then been its inhabitants ; at present, it certainly has claims to greater respect. i hat it may be seen that the commission and forwarding interests have just cause for com plaint, 1 append a few of the stringent and ab- j surd rules which at present are in force—prom- j ising that no rule usually lasts long enough to be understood, and all are characterized by the same incapacity to properly regulate commercial matters. Nineteen-twentieths of the entire trade of Chattanooga mist necessarily pass through the hands of the forwarding merchant, and this notwithstanding the road’’proffers its services free of commission. The nature of the produce, the uncertainty of the market, the par ticular requirements of this and connecting roads added to their incomplete arrangements, for even doing their home trade will, for a continued length of time, make their services indispensi- ! ble. With complete shipping arrangements but! few, I apprehend, would care to confine their at- j tertion to that department, and which even now ; is attended with barely a remunerative pro nt. Will not the intelligent Georgia merchant ; snr j*.‘ e w " Ke ” e peruses a few of the requirements ' which are monthly issued, announcing some I new regulation to be enforced during the conve- j nience of the agent. One standing rule now is as to the marking of a package. A metchant ! has an order for 1000 bushels of grain, cotton or ! any produce from Savannah or Augusta, to fill a I foreign orJer—perhaps, as is often the'case to • be sold subject to a return of sacks— to ship that > corn the merchant must brand first his own ini- ! tiais on the sack—then the initials of the con- j sigriee—then the name of the city—and finally the name of the load on which that city is loca ted—thus : “G. &S. T, W. F., Augusta, G. R. I R ” upon each sack, mutilating and destroying its value, as if there were a dozen Augustas, Sa- i vannahs or Charlestons. The least emission of; one of these marks will cause the return of a 1 < whole dray load a distance of one mile, and ! < through any kind of road or weather. A roll of J gunny bagging may pass from Calcutta via ( Chattanooga to St. Louis with but a single let- j l ter to distinguish it; while to pass twenty miles s down this road, one has to brand its whole his- ,c tory. It would be but a trille trouble more to i brand the date of its shipment, and the charges I c accruing upon it, and thus dispense with other v records of it— at least, we would be saved the 11 compliance of an order as absurd as the follow- ! ing: Office W. &A.R. R. ) j Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.1853. ( Messrs. Grenville & Sample, Gents : Af ter this date, all expense bills paid by you for transportation ot produce or merchandise to steamboats intended to pass through our agency will be required to be made out separately from other expense bills and for each lot, and signed j by the clerk of the steam! oat, acknowledging the receipt of the payment of the charges. The i receipt of the clerk must specify the number and ; character of the packages, from what point ship ped and their intended destination, and present ed for payment at the office immediately after the delivery of the last package of the lot at our platform, or as soon as the last package is deliv ered of the lot intended to be shipped on each day. That is, the charge for expense bills on the packages, if intended to be presented to us for payment, it must be done on the same day. and at the time specified that the packages are sent to us, and at least by tour o’clock of each day, at which time we shall close receiving freights only at our convenience until further notice. The cash will, in all cases for freight, be re quired when we deliver you our freight list or statement of packages ready for delivery for the day, which statement will generally be ready by 12 o’clock. All statement of packages made out and sign ed by us as delivered, will, of course, be subject to correction, and will, when errors are pointed out, be promptly corrected. Very lespectfully, William N. Bishop, Ag’t. PS.—Please take particular notice that all old marks on packages must be obliterated, and others plainly marked on each separate package, giving the consignees or their initials, the des i nation fully written, and the initials of the last railroad such packages are intended to pass over, and marked with ink on the packages. Wa decline receiving checks in payment of freights, and no tunds can. in any instance, be taken, only such as are at par value in our rail road cities—to-wit: cities on or at the terminus of our road and those connecting with ours. Bishop, Agent. Now, under this regulation, and it is only a whim of the agent, we are compelled to dray all produce one mile, and confine our whole days’ business, with shipment charges, &c., delivered by 4 o'clock. From 12 until 1 o’clock business is entirely suspended at the depot; consequently all arrangements must be made to conform to those two ill-timed hours. Again : not until one o’clock can we now re ceive any package from the depot, although un tiil the past tew weeks, our receipts were inva riably delivered in the morning; Draymen have no loading for a return trip, and consequently expenses are double. And this arrangement ex ists, too, notwithstanding formerly each mer chant’s goods were placed to themselves on the platform; while now they are purposely all turn ed out in one mass, each and every one most p r plexingly mixed together. On going to the depot , an unnecessary paper containing a list of the charges is handed our cleik, worded as fo’lows: “Messrs. G. & S. will please come to the de pot, and receive the above packages of merchan dise, which are now ready for delivery to your agency, you paying the amount specified above for freight. Willivm N. Bishop, Ag’t.” This bill paid, not a package can be examined until the following extraordinary receipt, also printed is signed : ‘ Received from William N, Bishop, agent, the above described packages of merchandise, &t\, &c.: all ot which are in good order, and are to be forwarded in like good order to consignees or owners at their proper destination, on the pay ment of freight, &c. at usual rates, or as per agreed upon.” It has happened oftentimes those packages are many days behind, some in bad order, and in some instances they have been forwarded against our will on his own boat, although we had pre viously paid the freight. In some instances we have paid the freight twice upon the same pack age—and in others, goods are not yet delivered. We are besides otherwise greatly inconvenienc ed and purposely annoyed. As before remarked, we are not informed until one o’clock < f the amount of our freight bills ot the day, or if we aie to have any delivery. Our circulation and collection are Tennessee funds only; and to pro vide means for payment of charges, we are com pelled to purchase funds current in Savannah and Charleston, to pay the freights and ship charges over those roads ; while our Bank of De posits has agreed to cash all checks given to him in notes which are current and command specie in Augusta; but because it is a convenience, he now positively declines the reception of checks in payment, although he has never had one dis honored. Again, Mr. Editor, under his arrangement, we are compelled to send in several bills for any package. Thus a planter, merchant or other person consigns a package to the care of some forwarding house, custom has invariably been here as el ewhere, for the commission merchant to annex his charges to the bill for the expenses incurred, and to collect the amount from the next carrieren route , who finally collects the whole amount from the consignee. The parties having, at all times, a lien on the goods, with actual pos session, until the expenses are fully paid. On every well organized route in tie whole coun try this is a common custom, whether the con nection is by railroad, ship or steamboat. This custom, however, has been recently abolished here, and while they agree to pay the actual freight paid out,they will not recognize proper and legitimate charges, and we are compelled to collect drayage; cooperage and commissions as best we may; thereby producing hindrances to shipments instead of facilitating them. 1 he agent even defines the precise wording of a freight bill, which no steamboat on the river is willing to procure; and even requires the re ceipts; while for thousands ot dollars he collects monthly, for the South Carolina Railroad, and ship charges, not one is ever receipted. It is from t he inconveniences arising from the increas ed expense devolving upon forwarding agents here, that they have felt it necessary to insert t e advertisement regularly appearing in your columns. 1 find I am lengthy in this communication, but as i write for the information ot others, rather than for this community, and for the benefit of a class most unjustly villified, I may as well be explicit, as I hope, under no consideration, to have recourse to your columns again. With one personal matter I close. The agent, in closing his communication, states his personal disaffec tion towards me for a long time past. This was ce . r y. n y news, inasmuch as in the presence of a reliable person, some few weeks since, he was far more gracious, at the time, when he desired me to withdraw from the Circuit Court, the suit I which his acts had forced me to establish In i the presence of that witness, he stated he was authorized by Gov. Cobb and Mr Yon-e, and had letters to the point, to have the case referred in any equitable manner; stating they would as sent to it. Under that arrangement, I agreed to the following, which is in the agent’s owm hand writing : Chattanooga, Tenn., July 20, 1853. Mr. Charles E. Grenville and myself have agieed to refer all matters, now in dispute, con nected with a suit pending in Harrison Court, upon the following conditions : Our attorniesare to represent our interest on each side, and if they cannot agree, they are to agree upon an umpire, and after said settlement shall be communicated ;it shall become the judgeme.it of the Court. I ; re P r esent the entire interest of the road in the ; case, and provided Mr. Grenville’s council should i determine that my agency in the matter was not i of sufficient effect and fully binding, I agree to A®. a PP rov aI of the General Superinten dent to this agreement, or any other authority t lat may be considered necessary; and it is fur- 1 tner agieed, that neither of the parties shall take i advantage ofthis agreement, at this term of the court, to oppress the other. a , \\t c a \Y ILUam N - Bishop, Agent, W. & A. Railroad, Chattanooga. J agree to the above. C. E. Grenville As Mr. Younge has, in person, disclaimed any authority on the part of the agent to make any such agreement, and has intimated that he would not be bound by it, this notice is publicly »iven that it will no longer be acknowledged by°my- Very respectfully. _ Charles E. Grenville. Inquest. — Coroner Stramler held an inquest a ‘ fourteen miles above the city, on \ ednesday evening, over the body of Chas. a terson. Patterson was killed by two blows on his head with a hatchet. Isaac Wilkins was adly cut in several places on the head with the same instrument Suspicion fell upon John Steagy and Wm. Loftin, the only two remain ing on the flat. I hey were arrested by the coroner and lodged in jail yesterday. They will be examined before Justice Fisher this mor ning.— Mobile Tribune , 21th ult. m 111 mu ■—TTT"rwr~— —iir IIFI r-MwriPttue AUGUSTA, GA. J ! WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2. ] Theatre—Mr. Crisp’s Benefit. The play-going pub’ic are much indebted to ( Mr. Crisp for his untiring efforts to merit their ■ approbation, and minister to their intellectual entertainment —efforts which, we are free to say, | have been marked by good taste and discern ment, as well as by an anxious desire to please. Augusta-has been fortunate in having Mr. as the lessee for the present season. He is him self, a very superior actor, a man of talents and acquirement, well versed in dramatic literature, and an excellent judge of histronic merit. He has made use of his opportunities and experi- , ence to bring together a choice dramatic corps, and has, during the present season, afforded his Augusta audi'ories some choice entertainments. , We hope the patrons of the Drama among us , will evidence their appreciation of him by a full and fashionable house this evening, when he j takes a benefit. On that occasion he will offer 1 the following attractive bill: Pizarro, the Hunt- I . ' | ing Act ot London Assurance, and Box and Cox ] Air. Crisp and Company visit Savannah, and j will make their first appearance at the Athen | £Bum on Thursday evening. They will perforin ! in Savannah three nights and go thence to Mil j ledgeville. A New Theatre. We understand several gentlemen in our city i have it in contemplation to build a New Thea j tre for Mr. Crisp. A building of this description is now much needed, and we think would pay a I good interest on the investment. Our popula tion is daily increasing, and the building at pre | sent in use lor theatrical performances, is not only badly arranged, but too small. We would like to see a new Theatre erected in some cen tral situation on Broad Street, and placed under the charge of Mr. Crisp. It would do a prospe rous business, for he is not only a good actor himself, but one of the best Managers, we have meet with. The Exchange. This is the name of a Restaurant formerly kept by Messrs. I. P. Girardey & Co., under the name of the “National Coffee House,” on the lower part of Broad street, which has been transferred to Messrs. llitzfield& Borchers, who promise to keep the best. If you are hungry or thirsty, give them a call. See the advertisement* Tine Eegars. We see among the consignees per steamer Is abel, arrived at Charleston from Havana, the names of Dawson & Skinner, 42,000 segars.— j The lovers of the weed in this city and surroun- I ding country will, no doubt, soon have an op- I portunity to puff as well as we editors. Hon. John A. Dix and the Adminstration. —This gentleman in a reply dated the 24th ult. to a request to address a meeting at Rochester N. Y., urges that Gen. Pierce’s administration be . generously sustained, approves its policy as far as developed, particularly in the Koszta case, and ! highly commends, from personal knowledge, the ! Treasury Department, as worthy of praise. Secret Ordes continue to multiply in all par sos the country. The last we have heard of is mentioned by the Cincinnati Columbian as • having been for*ned in that city, under the title • of “The Family Compact,” of which both males ' and females are members. In that city it already 1 numbers five hundred members, and the Colum ■ bian says that it is for charitable and beneficial ‘ purposes. j The following is said to be an accurate state ■ ment of the receipts and expenditures of the , United States for the fiscal quarter ending the i 30th September, exclusive ot Treasury notes 3 funded and trust funds : Receipts from customs, $19,718,922; sales of land, $1,489,562 05; miscellaneous sources, $130,- 3 392 47—total, $24,338,776.52. r Expenditures—Civil, miscellaneous ititer l j couise and public debt, $8,159,170 94 ; Interior 3 I Department, pensions and Indians, $-16,213 01 ; 1 j War Department, $2,933,862.42; Navy De • partment. 3 14.0129.35—t0ta1, $15,081,383.70. ’ : The receipts tor the same quarter last year “ were $16,341,329, of which $15,723,934 were i i f;om customs. • I The Washington Union, expresses doubt con cerning the committal of France to the Cuban . Africanization scheme. It refers to the rumored 3 appointmeut of General Pezuela as Captain 1 General of Cuba, as confirmatory of Spain’s icadiness to carry aut the Africanization. Pe r J j zuela was lormeily Captain General of Porto 3 Rico, and recently of Madrid. He is a native of ’ South America, though an Absolutist, and has j been long an enthusiastic advocate of the ap -3 | prenticeship system. ? The total value of foreign exports from Balti- I more for the week ending Thursday was 5319.- 3 479. Among the principle articles exported ■ were 28 386 barrels flour, 33 719 bushels wheat, ; 48 ) barrels corn meal, 815 bushels corn, and 318 ' hhds. tobacco. ! A. T. Stewart, Esq., of the Marble Building, ' corner of Chambers and Broadway, New York, has bought the Metropolitan Hotel for $550,000, : but it is not known whether alter the Leland ’ lease expires, Mr. Stewart contemplates the transler ol his splendid establishment so lar up town or not. [communicated ] Spring Place, Ga., Oct. 31, 1853. Mr. Gardner: There are many conjectures why the Democracy of the Cherokee country did not unite upon Democratic men and prin ciples. You will readily perceive that many, | very many, indeed, withheld their suffrage. Had they have cast their votes for Johnson, his ma jority would have been swelled two thousand; on the other hand, it they had cast their votes lor Jenkins, he would have been the Governor. 1 be reason ot this is, in the contest which car ried Howell Cobb to the Gubernatorial Chair, many and very many, were disappointed. The | offices were filled by Whigs and Union Demo crats, and many more of the former than the j which created a jealousy that is not very easily got over. Notwithstanding the union of both wings of the Democratic party upon the Baltimore Platiorm, there yet remained a jeal : ousy lingering in the bosoms of each wing, which prevented that harmony that was so much desired by true men fiom each wing of the parly; and here permit me to add, that they nev- , er will unite, while offices are to be filled exelu- i sively from Middle and Lower Georgia. Even in ! dispensing with the little offices upon the rail- ' road, Whigs were imported from Lower Geor- | gia to fill offices that could have been filled by 1 men in the county where the offices are located; 1 and I here remark that not only as good men can be had, but I think better, than have been im- a ported to fill those offices. These are the rea- a sons that produced such distraction in the ranks ; of the Cherokee Democracy, or at least it is one j among many others that are not worth men- J turning. Now, for the purpose of uniting once ( more the Democracy of Cherokee, let the una- j nimity commence at the seat of Government j with the whole Democracy of the State; let the ! Legislature act as a unit, nominate regularly any candidate that is brought before them for offices of every description; take from the Democrats a the very best and ablest rnenoftbe party, with out distinction as to Union or Southern Rights - Democrats, and elect them. Here permit me to remark, if men are to be rewarded for their labors, I do think Howell Cobb ought to be. The 6th Congressional District brings the testimony. The next thing, if elected United States Senator, his great ability will be poured out in defence of Mr. Pierce's administration, which will have a tendency to unite the Democracy in Georgia much more than any other person, now aspir ing to that seat. I have no personal preference for him over other gentlemen of the party; pol icy demands that course of the Democratic par ty. The Whigs clearly understanding that the Legislature must retain Nisbit upon the bench of the Supreme Court—to this I demur. When that Court went into existence they took to themselves two out of three; since that timeor.e of their party has been re-elected, and by a dem ocratic Legislature, or rather a Union Legisla tuie. The time has arrived when the tables should be turned; let us have two for a while and them one. We have able men in our ranks that will do honor to the State and to the Bench ; if so let them be put there. Governor McDonald M. J. Wei borne, Judge Iverson, Judge Wright, of Cherokee, and a host of others. All that could be urged against Judge Wright is, that he lives in Cherokee, Georgia, where office cannot or has not yet reached; he is a gentleman of fine ability, and it is due to Cherokee, Georgia, to give us a judge in that section of the State, and Ido trust that the party at Miiledgevill: will proceed to the organization and harmonizing the Democratic party for their first work, and elect none but Democrats to office, both high and low’. If this is not done, the dissensions in Cherokee never can be healed; ail they demand is a strong pull, a long pull,and an all pull together of the De mocracy, and a fair divide, and all will come right. COHUTTAH. I Correspondence of the Savannah. News ] Macon, Oct. 27th, 1833. Mr. Editor: —The Lodge was called to order at the appointed hour. The Committee on Grievances made their se cond report which aftei a spirited and animated debate was passed by a large majority and or dered to be entered on the Journal. The morn ing was occupied principally in reports of com mittees and matters altogether 0(,.a local nature, when the Lodge was called off to 3 o’clock, P. M. 3 o’clock, P. M.,Oct 27th, 1553. The Lodge was caked to order, alter which all unsettled business was duly disposed of. The Most W. G. M. then proceeded to deliver his closing remarks previous to the adjournment of the Grand body; in the course of his remarks he depicted in eloquent and burning language the necessity of each and every true Mason, the importance of their advancing the interests of the Masonic Female College located at Coving ton, which 1 am happy to state is in a flourish ing condition. Too much cannot be said to the fraternity in behalf of this college and it behoves us a lovers of the cause of education to assist in rearing up this Institution so happily and pros perously commenced by the fraternity. No one who listened to the able and spirit-stirring re marks of our Most Worthy W. G. Master, could feel otherwise than a deep and abiding interest in the laudable undertaking; indeed the remarks of our Worthy W. G. Master was one of the most brilliant and oratorical efforts I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. The Lodge was then closed by a solemn and impiessive prayer from our Grand Chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Mathews. The amount of receipts at this communication exhibits an annual increase of two thousand dol lars. This, Mr. Editor, concludes my remarks in re lation to the proceedingol Most W. Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia, and were it not that I was placed on the committee to audit accounts, I should immediately take my departure for Sa vannah, but as the duties of my office are very onerous I am necessarily compelled to re main here until Saturday.

The Crops.—Tho period has now arrived when some estimate of tho present crop can bo formed. On tho ‘2sth and 26th days of October, a killing frost was experienced in almost every section of tho | Cotton growing region. The top bolls it is said, can never mataro, and but few if any of tho lower ones. The growing crop was a very late one, and with this oarly and killing frost, must prove shorter than that of last year. Wo base our assertion on the fact, that even with a late frost, the advices from all sections of the Cotton growing region, were that the crop must be short of that of last year The falling off in tho receipts at tho various re ceiving ports, may soon bo made up, now that health has boon restored to the cities of New Or leans and Mobile—the rivers are all in good navi gable order, and planters will now tako advantage of this circumstance, if they are wise, and send forward their cotton to shipping points, either to be held or sold. , Business.— Trade has been brisk this season, i and such merchants as have visited our city for the f purpose of laying in their supplies, have gone away well satisfied—and wo understand others, alter I visiting tho northern markets, have sent thoir or ders back hero to bo filled. Groceries, generally, can be purchased as cheap, if not cheaper, in this market, than in Charleston, Savannah, or New Yoik, and for this simple reason, that most of our merchants are heavy operators, and purchase their supplies in/ the same markets that the Savannah or Charleston merchants do, and on as good terms, j and they generally get their goods up in bulk when j there is a good river, and at low freights, thus ena bling them to sell at as low or lower rates than merchants below. s- COTTON.—Our market opened on Wednesday , last, at about tho following quotations, viz : Infe rior and Ordinary 7 a 7* ; Low Middling to Strict Middling 7j a 8|; Good Middling 8| a 8f; Mid- t iling Fair 9 ; Fair to Fully Fair 9| a9j cents. At c these prices a limited business was done up to Sa ; turday, when holders were enabled to get J cent i advance on the above rates.

During the day the Arctic’s advices, still later, came to hand, and had a tendency to strength en prices, although the transactions were limited on account of the small offering stock. Yesterday up s to the close of businoss, the market remained much f in the same state as on Monday, the offering stock light and holders very firm at our quotations given . below. The lower qualities are still neglected, and we have but little change to notice in prices, s but for grades ranging above Middling, there has been an advance during the week of full half cent per pound. The receipts are very light, and buy „ ers very strict in their classification. The offering stoek is also light, and holders show but little dis position to sell unless they can get their own prices. The advices daily received from planters in tho interior, who have Cotton on hand for sale, is that the recent frost has materially shortened their crop ■ and ordering their Cotton withdrawn from the mar -1 ket. Qualities above Middling Fair are scarce, and when put on the market readily bring our quotations. quotations. 5 Inferior and Ordinary 7 a7l \ Middling B|aß| Good Middling a 91 Middling Fair— a 9^ > Fair to Fully Fair 9| alO RECEIPTS OP COTTON, From lsr September , 1853, to the latest dates received ‘ 1353. 1852.
