Tli* Motherless, g.
God help and shield the motherless,
The str cken, bleeding dove —
Por whom there gushes no rich fount,
Os deep and deathless love!
The saddest title grief confers—
For who so lone as they,
Upon whose path a mother’s lovs
Sheds not its holy ray* 1
No gentle form above them bends
Ts sooth the couch of pain—-
Nor voice so fond as here, essay*
To calm the feverish brain.
Oh, other tongues may whisper love.
In accents soft and mild ;
But none on earth so pure as that
A mother bears a child.
Judge kindly ot the motherless—
A weary lot is theirs,
And oft the heart the gayest seems,
A load of sorrow bears.
No faithful voice directs their steps,
Or bids them onward press,
“ And if they gang a kennin, wrang,”
God help the motherless!
And when the sinful and the trail,
The tempted and the tried,
Unspotted olc! shall cross thy path,
Oh, spurn them not aside.
Thou know’st not what thou had’st been
With trials even less—
And when thy lips would vent reproach,
Think, they were motherless !
A blessing on the mothertless,
Where r they dwell on earth,
Within the home of childhood,
Or at the stranger’s hearth i
Blue be the sky above their heads,
And bright the sun within,
0 God, protect the motherless,
And keep them free from sin !
{From the Southern Watchman.\
“Like the dew upon the mountain, •
Like the bubble on the fountain.
He’s gone, and forever.”
How strikingly and sadly appropriate are the
above familiar lines to the subject of this com
munication. Lieut. J. Edward Maxwell, 3d In
fantry U. S. A., who was known to this entire
community, and known, only to be loved and
admired, has (alien in the service of his country.
He fell, where every true soldier, if doomed to
such a fate, would delight to fall, at the post of
duty, with the National banner streaming above
him, a d emblazoned by his gallantry.
A vernal flower, just as it had begun to unfold
~ it" beauties, and exhale its fragrance, is by an
unfathomable dispensation uprooted, and now
commingles with its kindred dust. How fre
quently do the paths o! glory conduct to an ear
ly grave. Many have been the immolations of
n*ble spirits, to the rapacious Moloch of War.
but rarely, if ever, has his altar been sprinkled
with the blood of a more precious victim. It was
the good fortune of him who pens this inadequate
tribute, to have been acquainted with Lieut.
Maxwell, a most from h.s infancy, and to have
©witnessed in his character the gradual develop
ment of every enuoblmg quality and manly vir
tue. If genuine nobleness of soul—highest toned
honor—a veneration for truth, that never abated
1 —graces of mind and blandishmen’s of person—
if indeed, all those natural endowments that con
stitute the most attractive and inspiring attri
butes of humanity,could have spun out the fiber of
life, long would young Maxwell nave serv'ived;
the solace of his family, the prole of bis irieuus,
and the ornament of his profession. It is a max
im of pagan philosophy, that "whom the gods
love, die young.”
Four years t ave barely elapsed, since our Iriend
issued imgn the halls ol the Military Academy—
r £>siasfciu his vocation—wi h poises quick
ened by a generous ambition, and intent upon
deeds cf "b->ld emprise.” How illusive" the teem
ing powers of youthful ardor ! where is he now?
In a distant land, far away from home and kin
dred, "he sleeps the sleep that knows no waki .g.”
Uriel, but brilliant was bis career—-it was the
meteor’s flash. But he has reached the soldier’s
highest reward—the plaudits and gratitude ol his
country. Upon her annals, is his name inscrib
ed, and his native State will ever cherish the
memory of a son, whose heroism has reflected
lustre upon her name. Whilst our young iriend
imh could ip the camp assume maitiai sternness, and
the battle field display the most dauntless,
Bton»|ye, reckless courage—m the domestic circle, the
vrardu ve |y traits of his mild and placid nature found
scope and constant exercise. Towards sw-
% iVO :j- J Pnd brothers, he was gentle, confiding, ten
lowest^ and sell-sacrificing; filial regard and deep
w ijjl, e Deration for bis lather, made him at all times
eoUcit#® dutiful, obedient and affectionate son. Like
all other brave men, he loved his mother su
premely; to him she was a being above earth,
the mornmg star of his soul’s warmest devotion,
and upon her was lavished the full stream of his
heart’s richest treasures. Edward, my friend,
thou shalt never be forgotten, though thy sojourn
on earth Was evanescent, like Hie rainbow’—
though like the "summer rose just opening to
the morping sun,” thou wert plucked off, and
“cast itA>n the ground to die,” thou shalt never
fade from our affectionate remembrance. Re
grets at iby untimely fate, shall freshen with
lapse of years, and loving hearts will deplore
'. thee, until their earthly tabernacles be dissolved.
As to the estimation in which Lieut. Max
well was held by his brother soldiers. I consider
it no violation of confidence to adduce as evi
dence the following extract of a letter from his
commanding officer, addressed to the father of
the deceased. For touching pathos it cannot be
surpassed, and is alike creditable to the heart and
head of the writer.
Fort Union. New Mexico,
July Ist, 1554.
Dear Sir : —"This day the flag of our country
_is at half mast! Your noble son, J. Edwarij
Maxwell, late of the 3d Infantry, has fallen in
battle. He was killed at the head of his men, in
a charge upon a body of Apache Indians, about
o’clock, p. m. on the 30th June, 1554 He
\fas shot with arrows in three places, in the head,
obliquely through the left arm and through the
body. He expired instantly. My dear sir, with
feelings of anguish and distress, I know not how
to express myself. A noble, generous and chival
rous soldier has fallen; he fell the loremost ol his
command, in the act of sabreing an Indian. If
fall be must, he fell where a soldier ought to fall.
In his private relations, amiable, kind and affec
tionate —all who knew him loved him. He had
not an enemy on earth, saving the emetines ol
his country. His soul is in heaven ! Great God,
I pray thee, strengthen and console his afflicted
parents and relations, in their hour of distress.”
A general order on the occasion was issued, as
||iS9follows: .
Headquarters, New Mexico.
(Orders No. 13)
It is the painful duty of the Commanding Offi
cer, to announce to the troops, who served with
him. and are now serving uader his orders, in the

operations.

United States— A Few Impartial Statistics.
—The following statistics, which we extract
from the Boston Post, show the grounds upon
which rests the common boast that “ this is a
great country
The thirty-one States, nine territories, and
District of Columbia, comprising the United
States of America, are situated within the paral
lels of 10 degs. east longitude and 4S degs. west
of the meridian of Washington, and extending
on the Atlantic coast from 25 degs. and on the
Pacific coast from 32 degs. to 49 degs. of north
latitude, and contains a geographical area of 3,-
306,865 square miles, being but one-tenth less
than the entire continent of Europe. They con
tain a population at the present time of 25.000,-
000, of whom 21,000,000 are whites. The ex
tent of its sea-coast, exclusive of islands and
rivers to the head of tide water, is 12,669 miles.
The length of ten of its principal rivers is 20,-
000 miles. The surface of its five great lakes is
90,000 square miles. The number of miles of
railways in operation within its limits if 20,-
000, constructed at a cost of $600,000,000. The
length of its canals is 5,000 miles. It contains
within its limits the longest railway upon the
surface of the globe—the Illinois Central—which
is 731 miles.
The annual value r of its agricultural produc

duct is Indian corn, which yields annually $400,-
000,000 , and in surveying the agricultural pro
ductions of our country, w'e are not only struck
with their abundance, but with their great vari
ety. Our territory extends from the frigid re
gion of the north to the genial climate of the
tropics, affording almost every variety of tem
perature and every kind of grain and vegetables.
Her productions range from the cold ice and
hard granate of the North, the golden com of
the West, to the cotton and sugar of the South ;
and nearly all in sufficient quantities to supply
our domestic consumption, and furnish large
supplies for exportation, thus furnishing nearly
all the value as well as the bulk of our foreign
commerce; suggesting thereby the irresistable
conclusion that agriculture is the great transcen
dant interest of our country, and upon which all
other interests depend.
The amount of rgistered and enrolled tonnage
is 4,407,010 tons. The amount ot capital inves
ted in manufactures is $600,000,000. The
amount of its foreign imports in 1853 was $267,-
978.647, and of exports $230 976.157. The an

The Biftt at St Louift—Further Details
Accoidmg to a telegraphic dispatch, the riot
in St. Louis was not finally quelled until Satur
day last. In regard to the origin of the riot, the
Intelligencer, (Whig and Native) has the follow
ing remarks:
The Republican attempts a lengthened and
ingenious explanation of the thing, in which it
throws all the blame upon the Irish, who it says,
to the numher of three or four hundred surroun
ded the polls, using loud, angry and inflammato
ry language, and winding up by stabbing—a boy.
We can find no confirmation of this story, and in
the present state of public feeling, shou’d not be
disposed to publish idle and unsupported r mors
calculated to nourish a deplorable and unjustifia
ble leeling of hostility towards a body of our
fellow citizens, some of whom have already suf
fered much from the recent affrays, and for
whom, as the weaker party, a natural sympathy
must be felt amongst chivalrous-hearted men.
We have no reason to suppose that the Irish
premeditated any riot, or prepared for one, or
were particularly riotous on election day, and
though an Irish rowdy began the figtft, that
was a mere accident to w’hich nothing but the
excited state oi feeling amongst a ce.tain class
round the polls gave any particular importance.
Irish loafers, as well as other classes of loafers,
daily come to blows, but not everyday do their
unruly actions provoke such lamentable results.
The St. Louis Democrat, of the 10th in3t.,
thus notices the events ol the preceding night :
. After this renewal of the night’s disasters, as
the news spread along the streets that still fur
ther blood Lad beeif shed, and that some of our
best citizens had been killed, the excitement
commenced raging again, and a large crowd of
persons collected along Fourth-street and started
with great shouting and confusion for the scene
of bloodshed.
The spectacle of the infuriated mass moving
swiftly along, firing pistols in the air and venting
the loudest oaths and exclamations against the
Irish, while the fire bells of the city were ringing
and shouts were heard from all parts of the city,
was a most exciting and terrifying scene—quite
enough to alarm every one, that the reign of
terror in our city was just reaching its height,
and that but one drop ol blood had been spilled
where there were thousands demanded by the
excited masses.
A company of about five hundred men, during
the after part of the night, formed themselves in
order, and being armed with muskets which
they had procured, marched up the street to the
St. Louis University, were they expected an
encounter would take place, previous reports of
the college being filled with arms, ammunition
and belligerent Irish having filled the ears of the
whole city. Bat happily no opposing forces
were met of any kind, and the company disban
ded.
Toward daylight the quiet was general all
over the city. As morning camce aga n, reports
of the death of Mr. Violett and others geemed to
occasion the deepest sensation. Large crowds
collected around the police office and calaboose,
and up and down several of the principal strests,
whose sole topics of conversation were the out
rages of the previous night, and the means to be
taken to secure safety and peace to the city.
About nine o’clock, a proclamation of Moyor
How’s was posted all over the city, calling the
people to the Court House at twelve o’clock, M.,
for the purpose of consulting about the best
measures to be taken to quell the mob and re
store order. The meeting was a very large one,
notwithstanding a heavy rain was tailing at the
time. Speeches were made by Mr. Kennett,
Mayor H >w, Mr. Lucas, and Judge Bates, all of
w:,ich were most en'hu-ias'icaliy received by

Sea Island Cotton.
The following is an extract from a letter of T.
Bayley, President of the Manchester Chamber
of Commerce, to Geo. W. Sanders, and for it,
says the Scientific Journal, we bespeak the. care
ful attention of all the planters engaged in the
cultivation of this staple :
“To the simple question, 1 do the manufactur
ers ot Sea Island Cotton assort it by the lock V
I can give the positive reply that they do not,
nor would it, upon an extensive or practical
scale, be possible for them to do so. The spin
ners of the fine Sea island Cotton, of course, es
teem the longest stapled cotton as the best, and
in all their processes they get rid of as much
short fibre at they can, and preserve unimpaired
all the long fibres. Essentially the art of the
cotton spinner consists of disentangling the
fibres of cotton, in freeing these from all extrane
ous substances and impurities, in securing the
longest fibres, in obtaining them of equal length,
and finally placing them parallel, so that they
will freely and evenly pass each other in the
subsequent progress of elongation into a line of
yarn or thread.
“ From my own knowledge the cotton of Flor
ida is an excellent and desirable quality for the
spinner, but it has been sent to market in a
1 craply’ or knotty condition, which has greatly
diminished its value. I have seen Florida cot
ton cleaned and prepared by the McCarthy gin,
and which cotton, I believe, has been increased
in value by that preparation to the extent of
twenty per cent. That his gin applied to Flori
da cotton, would be a great advantage, does not
admit of a doubt.
“If the cotton planter would always recollect
that the spinners require only pure, even, and
disentangled fibres, 1 have no doubt he would
save himself much trouble and increase the value
of the cotton; and if he could classify the fibies
according to their length, and pack the cotton in
bales with equal and assorted fibres, a further ad
vantage would be the result.”
Severe Gale—lnjury to Trinity Church.
Yesterday afternoon, about one o’clock, the
clouds commenced gathering in the southwest,
giving promise of a shower, which was anxious
ly looked for to cool the sultry atmostphere
which had rendered the morning extremely op
pressive and uncomfortable. A little after two
there was a slight/all of rain, accompanied by
vivid lightning, and succeed by a fierce gale of
wind, which lasted only a few minutes, alter
which the rain descended in torrents for perhaps
a half hour, when it abated, but with slight in
termissions, continued to fall until dark. In
doors at the time, we could only judge of the vi
olence of the gale by the force with which it
beat against our closed windows, and the heavy
roaring sound which it produced over head.—
When the rain had nearly ceased, and we went
upon the street, we were surprised at the evi
dences which met us in every direction, of the
violence of the storm. In many of the streets
and squares, large trees had been blown down,
and branches and limbs were strewn upon the
ground, while the streets in many places, were
flooded with water.
From the indications in the street, we have
no doubt that the roots of houses, buildings in
process of erection, chimneys, &c., throughout
the city have received, more or less, injury, but
the only serious damage trat we have heard of
is that of the new ( Methodist) Trinity Cnurch,
in St. James’ square. About one-lorth ol the
tin roofing of the church was blown off, and car
ried across President street into the yard of Mr.
Hodson’s residence on the opposite corner. We
regret to learn that the damage to the church is
very considerable. A large portion ot the hea
vy plastering will have to be taken down and
replaced; besides which, much ot the painting
and interior decoration ot the building has been
defaced, and will require to be renewed. It is
estimated that it will require ail of $2,000 to
repair the damage. It will be remembered by
our city readers that this church was partially
unrooted and received other serious damage du
ring the storm which swept over the city on
the'nightof the 9th of October, 1352.—Savan

A Sketch of the Pafal States. —A letter
from Italy, dated July 12th, quoted in the New
York Tribune, says:
The misery in the States ol the Pope is ex
treme. Last year the harvest and the vintage
failed, and now they would sell themselves fora
piece of bread. Mothers and even fathers sell
their daughters at the tenderest ace, even ot ten
or twelve years; and there is among the poor,
suffering creatures universal corruption. The
price ol a piece of bread has risen Irom three to
six fold, and that of the commonest wine (here
a necessary of life and used by all.) three times
or more. When Igo to take my breakfast et the
coffee house, (where even at these high prices.) I
still have an excellent mug ot coffee, milk, sugar,
two rolls, and two boiled eggs, napkin, &c., in the
best coffee-house, lor 9 cents—4Jd. I have seen
little children, miseiabie vvorntn, and 'even old
men, once evidently in better circumstances, and
educated, too, come and lean by the door, look
wistfully in, and humbly wait for you s o see
their misery, or beg you, lor the sake of the Bless
ed Mary, to relieve their hunger! The people
generally do not get one-third ol what they want
to eat. Meantime they sustain 75 cardinals, idle
and useless princes, besides a host ol priests that
eat up the land, and a good round number ol their
own good-for-nothing soldiery. Then it requires
more than 10,000 French soldiers to keep the
capital, eternal Rome, in order, and the Pope
from running away, or being massacred, and ,at
least 10,000 Austrians for the north in Bologna,
Ancona, Forli, Faenza, &c. What a picture!
And yet it is not exaggerated, but underdia'wn.
Meantime the nobility are also sinking;, for the
law of primogeniture has been abolished, and the
estates are divided, and I can see nothing' before
the Papal States but universal decay, misery and
downfall.
A Slave Refusing her Liberty. —The
Eiie (Pa.) Observer reports that quite an ex
citement was created at Erie lately, by an abor
tive attempt to set a negro slave free. It seems
that a gentleman from Mississippi, recently ar
rived at Erie, on a visit to his relatives, bringing
with him a colored nurse,'who is a slave. The
tacts being known, a writ of habeas corpus was
procured, and the colored woman was brought
before Judge Sterrett. The Judge informed her
that she was free, and was at liberty to remain in
Er ie if she chose, or to go backjto Mississippi. To
this according to the Observer, the woman re
plied, “w r ell, bos, I jis tell you what it am—l jis
warnt to go back to Mississippy, and dat’s all 1V
got to say.’' And in despite ot the remonstran
ces of her abolition friends, she did go back.
More Trouble at Havana.— The Portland
State of Maine publishes a statement made by
Jen ness, Chase & Co., of Portland, to the effect
that when their barque C. B. Hamilton, arrived ;
at Havanna last February, after delivering the
manifest to the boarding officer, the captain dis- j
covered some discrepancies between that and
the freight list, which he asked of the collector
leave to correct, but which was refused, and de
layed, so that when he received back his mani
fest and made his correction, the time for cor
recting the document bad passed by, in the
amount of twenty minutes, but recently the
consignees of the veseel (Mes-rs Drake it
C 0..) have transmitted draffs on Jenness,
Chase & Co., for the sum ot six thousand
and eighty dollars claims, and thirteen hundred
dollars expenses, which they have baen obliged
to deposit in Havana, to await the further ac
tion of the Cuban courts and autnorities in this
case.
The Weather.— After a drouth of three
weeks, we were visited on last Saturday eve
ning with a shower of rain but not enough to
do much good, as the ground was so very dry,
that it would require two or three days rain to
get thoroughly wet. We are fearful, that there
will not be more than halt a crop of corn made
in this county, as a great deal of the corn is
used up, and beyond the power of the watery
elements to resuscitate.
On Tuesday evening last we had another fine
rain, and prospects lavorabie lor more.— Dalton

AUGUSTA, GA.
SATURDAY MORNING, AUG 19, 1854.
The Augusta Machine Works.
The Augusta Machine Works are situated on
the second level of the Canal, and are ewned by
an incorporated Company, who have invested a
capital of about eighty thousand dollars.
The principal building is three stories in height,
mea&uriug about 100 by 50 feet, and fronts on
Jackson street. It is built of brick, and in th«
most substantial manner. The first floor is de
voted to the manufacture ot Steam Engines, and
Machinery of every description. We noticed a
beautilul Steam Engine,of forty five horse pow
er, and several Shingle Splitting Machines among
the many different kinds of machinery in the
process of manufacture. In this room is, also, a
machine for planting iron. It is astonishing to
see how the iron shavings are thrown off, and
with as much apparent ease as if the knives had
only to encounter the softest wood.
The second floor is used as a Planeing, Boring,
and Pattern-making room. Here, also, some of
the finer kinds of iron work is finished off—such
as Iron Railings, icc. On this floor is also situ
ated the Counting Room of the Company.
The third floor is the depository of the patterns
of the various iron work, manufactured by the
company, and among them we noticed those of
several iron fronts, fbr stores, which they have
put up on Broad street. The whole machinery
of this building is driven by water from the ca
nal, by means of one of Rich’s Patent Water
Wheels.
In the rear of the main building is situated the
Blacksmith Shop, also built ot brick. In this
shop five fires are kept constantly burning, and
all the workmen were busily engaged. Attach
ed to the side of the main building is the Plane
ing Shop, where there is one of Woodworth’s
Patent Planeing Machines, capable of planeing,
tongueing and grooving from S to 10 thousand
feet of flooring in a day.
OnD’Antignac street, and forming a right an
gle with the main building is a long one story
brick building, which is used for various pur
poses, as follows:
You first enter a large room, which is the Boi
ler-making Department; thence you proceed to
the Foundry, where all kinds of castings are
made, and which contains two Cupola Furnaces,
capable of melting sufficient iron to make a cast
ing of the weight ot 8000 pounds. You next
enter the “Truck Shop,” for fitting up “Trucks,”
or the Running Gear of the Railroad Cars, which
are manufactured in the next department.
The car lactory is situated at the extreme end
of the building, and in it are manufactured Rail
road Cars of every kind, freight, passenger and
baggage cars, and we observed a large number of

Rain.

which has been of gieat relief to our citizens, as
the temperature is much cooler and the dust in
our streets weli laid.
Savannah Courier & Journal.
We had the pleasure yesterday of meeting
Mr. J. B. Cubbage, one of the proprietors of the
above paper, who is on a visit to our city, on bu
siness connected with his paper. The Courier
& Journal is a cheap and excellent paper, and
we would recommend it to such of cur mer

j our sister city. He may be found at the Au

Jasper County.
A letter from a subscriber in Jasper, under cate
; of Aug. 15, .says : “Cotton is small, but heavily
! fruited, and a good shower that fell on Sunday,
j has stopped the shedding, which was becoming
: quite alarming. Corn very uneven—my own
very poor—some have poorer, while others have
splendid crops. My remarks apply to Jasper
and Putnam.”
More New Cotton.
We understand three bales of new Cotton
have reached this maiket within the past two
days. One from the plantation of Gen. Evans
j in Burke county, came to hand on Wednesday,
j and was sold yesterday by Messrs. B’Antignac,
Evans & Co., for 12J cents. We did not see a
sample of this Cotton, but understand it was
| of excellent staple and color, well ginned and
i classed by judges as strictly Fair. Another bale*
! received yesterday, was sold at 11 cents.
From present appearances, and the quality and
staple of the few bales of the new crop which
| has reached this market, the growing crop bids
| fair to be of much better quality and staple than
j that last year.
Female Seminary.

per. A Female Academy is much needed in
our city, and Mr. L. enjoys the reputation, from
long experience, of being an excellent teacher.
Health ok Mobile. —There is only a slight
increase in the mortality of Mobile the past
| week. The list of interments gives 28 deaths
I for the week—a little more than one in a thou
sand. Eleven of these were children under 4
years of age. We notice two deaths from yel
low fever. One of them was taken on a bark
from Matanzas, and was arrived on board
the vessel.
“ In Memory of Henry Clay.” —The editor
of the Manchester (N. H ) Mirror, in describ
ing his traveling experiences on a trip to the
White Mountains, refers to the attempts which
are making for the erection of a monument to
Henry Clay,and states that John Hayes Thornp
son, of Holderness, a shoe manufacturer, whom
he had met in the cars, a man of good humor and
a good head-piece, wears upon his lace a monu
ment to the defeat of Henry Clay, “more in sor
row than in anger.” Some fifteen years ago he
made a vow that he would never shave again
until Henry Clay was elected President; he
never has, and bis beard is a foot dong, though
some long chipping* have been taken irom it.
How will the Rev. Mr. Beacher look, should
he live to see the Fugitive Slave law repealed.
Riot in Adaiesville. —The Atlanta Re

well, the marshal, waß shot and instautly killed,
and deputy marshal Hillburn severely cut on

the ball glancing, and Mr. Ely, a fireman, woun

Health, of Savannah.
We publish below the list of interments in Sa
vannah during the past week, from which it will
be seen a few' deaths have occurred from Yellow
Fever. In noticing the fact, the Republican df
the 17 th inst. says:
“ It will be seen that the Board of Health re
port three deaths the past week from yellow fe
ver. It is but proper to add, that the disease is
confined to a very small and much neglected
part of the eastern end of the city, near the inter
section of Broughton and East Broad streets—
that it has not assumed an epidemic form, and
that there is not the least alarm felt by our citi
zens.
■ It is not customary in any other American
city, we believe, to report occasional or sporadic
cases of this fever, on account of the excitement
it creates abroad; but our Board of Health seem
to have considered it their duty to depart from
this rule, and to report every case of fever
brought to their notice of whatever character.—
We presume there is not a city, «r a district of
five miles square, anywhere on the South Atlan
tic and Gulf coasts, in which this form of yellow
fever does not manifest itself to some slight ex
tent, every summer. Our friends abroad may
rest assured, that they do not incur the slightest
danger in visiting the city. We feel no more
alarm ourselves, than we should if the fever had
appeared in Hong Kong instead of Savannah,
unless it sheuld become epidemic, of which there
is not the least prospect.

but the design for so doing is said to be planned

CHARLESTON, Aug. 18.— Cotton. —The market was
in a languid and drooping condition throughout tb»
whole of the preceding week, and just prior to the date
of our last report, prices dropped jc. on the better, ano
]e on the lower qualities. Tlie article during the week
under review, has been very much neglected, and some
contracts have been made, in which even a greater con
cession than that recorded above, has beeu submitted
to by sellers, but no general decline can be said to have
been established in prices. We have renewed the quo
tations given in our report of the 11th inst but in the
present position of the market, they must be consider
ed nominal. The receipts of the week reached 6,5:19
bales against the sale in the srme time of only 1.518

Corn.— The market siuce our last has been laboring
under the effects of the heavy arrivals of the preceding
week. Some 18,000 bushels, which were afloat unsold
when we closed our last report, were sold in the early
- part of the present week at fcOc per bushel—which
, shows a material decline on former transactions. We
also note the sale of 1,300 bushels prime Maryland flint
1 on terms which have not beeu allowed to "transpire.
Nothing has been done iu country Corn, and present
quotations must be consi lered nominal.
Flour —The demand has been limited, and eoufined to
sma 1 parcels for city consumption at prices ranging
from SB2 and $9 for barrels, and and for bags.
The stock at present is comparatively light, but is fully
adequate to tho demand.
Bacon —The rharket remains about the same as re
ported in our last, if we except good Sides, which have
become rather scarce, and recent transactions show
rather an advancing tendency in prices.
Salt is held firmly at £1.20 per sack, at which several
parcels have changed hands this week.
Om Grocery market has exhibited some
little animation this week, but jobbers have been en
gaged almost solely in tilling small orders for the city
ana country trade. Coffee has commanded former
prices. Sugars, the stock of which is chiefly in second
hands, have a decided improving tendency. About 300
barrels New Orleans Molasses have been sold at prices
from 23 j to 26 cents, as in quantity and quality:
end Cuba is retailing at from 13 to 20 cents per gallon.
