[COMJIUNICATBO] Col. Towns’ of Vcceptance. / EJ,turn. —I hnve been not a little amused U „ I | l i s remarkable production in connexion with ’'comments of the “ Editor of the Telegraph there-! ’ •• and the vaunting challenge which that gentlamnn °n’ ‘jeht ufthe quill throws down to men of ull parties ; V „ad thia letter of Col. T carefully, and sec it they 10 find “one word that was intended as a loop-hole to can 1(> f rolll popular ilisplensttre ;if his stand should iTp pen to prove diptasteful.” The Editor in the very paragraph, roundly asserts that this cannot Is’ done t” a opinion we are sure is honest; but at the same W e must be permitted to express our belief that it ■ it origin in “those party affinities” which Is l fore the wit egnfthe letter“madc the editor partial to the an ••in the sentiment which makes him fairly warm towards the Colonel ;”and‘‘in the stronger anil far more fervid emotions” to which lie now so candidly confrss ’ \Ve were sure Upon first reading the letter, that this could not be the conclusion of a fair and impartial ■ , nt for the contrary of all which is here insisted sin must be apparent, upon the most cursory perusal nf the letter, by any one who does not li'el unbounded •irtinlity for the writer. The whole letter is but a gs cond edition of the device which has rendered the name of Archbishop Morton so famous. This prelate was employed by Henry VII, to raise means by an un just and unconstitutional system of miscalled benevo i,,nirs, or contributions apparently voluntary, though in (•wt extorted from his richer subjects, to carry on the war occasioned by Ethe marriage of Anne of Brittany with Charles VIII. and is represented by historians as hav ing placed rich merchants and others whom he asked ,o contribute in’ n most awkward dilemma. “They who lived handsomely, that their opulence was mani fest bv their rate ofexpenditure.” “Those again whose course ofliving was less sumptuous,must have grown rich by their economy.” Either class could well afford assist ance to their sovereign This piece oflogic unanswer able in the mouth of a privy Counsellor acquired the name of “Morton’s fork.” We think that by showing the similitude of the conclusions at which the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, has arrived from premi ses not only wholly dissimilar to each other, but abso lutely inconsistent, we shall fairly entitled this epistle to the soubriquet of “Towns’ fork.” It seems then that the Col. concurs with the political principles contnined in the resolutions adopted hy the Convention which nominated him; but as if this were not enough to give the party satisfactory assurance of hie fealty, he goes on to enumerate most of those reso lutions and to give inadhesion to each one separately. The Wiltnot Proviso is most unsparingly denounced, and with this we have no fault to find ; had Col. Towns stopped here and pointed us to his vote upon the Oregon Territorial Bill, we should not have had one word to! say; but when he pretends that the origin and final ratification of this measure—“this strange amalgama tion of religious fanaticism and political knavery” as he terms it, nrc not generally known, we must be- j lieve him insincere and are obliged to deem it a device : to smother up the political sins of those northern states men who are agreed in sentiment on most subjects with the Col , and to shield them from the odium which they so richly deserve at the hands of the South. The ori gin and progress of this whole scheme are as palpable to the great body of the nation as the noon-day sun— seen and known by all men, of all “parties who pos- j sess the slightest observation. For years back we have been taught hy Democratic leaders to believe that their . brethren of the North, were the natural allies of the South, nnd that our salcty depended ujton preserving a j close union with them. This assurance so freely given I in the public prints and addresses nf the time, we have! never placed any reliance in—we believed then (and i future events have only served to confirm that belief,)! that neither party at the North made a monopoly of the anti-slavery agitation and fanatics, and if there is now ! any difference between the two parties upon that sub ject, the difference so fur ns we are concerned, is a- ei- J dedly in favor of the Whig party. W’iimot, the auth< r of this celebrated proviso, the organ of those who origi nated and ratified it, is a free trade Democrat, of the straightest nnd strictest sect of pretended strict construc tionistsfiom the Suite of Pennsylvania, over whose re election to Congress, most of the Southern Democra-’ cy went into ecstacics. He and those who follow him I are in favor of the Requisition of territory for the express purpose of agitating this dangerous nnd delicate ques tion, while such of the Northern Whigs as support his proviso, (and moot of them do,) do so only with a de sire as they profess, of keeping other territory out of the Union They then nre opitosed to the pretext for this disturbance, and seek to check it by defeating its cause —while the Northern Democrats favor the pretext for the soke of the agitation. This w e verily believe is the difference between the two great parties at the North upon this question. Whether it ts safe to trust either,! we leave to the body of the people to determine, for our selves, we can truly say, Timeo Dunams et dona fe- ] rente 8. But how can we account for the remarkable passage | tit Col. Towns’ letter, approving the I tarry usage of, holding conventions to nominate a President 1 Does I not Col Towns know—to not every man wellapprised of the fact, that there will be Wilmot men in tltat Con vention, with whom these Southern Democrats must confer 1 What boots it, then, to say that they go there with the understanding that they will support no man who is not unequivocally opposed to the Wilmot provi so I They cannot make this a condition precedent to their admission into that body. If they did so, they would certainly be excluded—nay, if they became meni bere of that Convention at all, they would have to pledge themselves to abide its action, aud 1 think it not improbable that the Wilntot wing would huve the ma jority These resolutions of the Democratic Conven tion. both of which Col. Towns approves, nre flatly con tradictory of each other. The Convention to nominate a President, cannot and will not coincide with the views expressed in the last resolution, to which reference is made, and if the Democrats blindly go into such a Con vention with a hope of having a majority, they will find themselves sndly disappointed and will be at the end ol its deltlterations in a truly pitiable condition, bound hy conflicting pledges, both of which, it w ill lie impose blc to redeem. If the Democratic Convention were re ally sincere in the pledges they gave, nut to support any man for the Presidency who wns not unequivocally op ,KcJ to the proviso ; why, we ask, did they consent to go into a Convention nt nil, where it would he almost certain there would In’ a majority in the anti-slavery in terests and views I Did they expect, did they hope to effect a good compromise with desperate, retigioua fan atics and political knaves! Ay, “there’s the nth.”— Tips is the flattering unction they lny to their souls— compromise is the false cry by which Southern people are to be lulled into repose. • Tis the voice of the sy ren luring them to their ruin and if they nre let them turn a deaf ear to it. There can he no compro mise upon this subject; any tiling yielded to the North, will be a cowardly concession of well settled rights, nnd a base and pusillanimous abandonment of the cardinal principle in the whole controversy—a principle which | we have always cherished, und which is supported ns well hy reason as authority from the case of Homerset in j England down to the present time, to wit: ‘Flint slavery t •s exclusively asuhjeet of domestic regulation with which no other power has any right to interfere; and by conced ing or compromising as some prefer to call it, we ! certainly admit this right in Northern fnnnticn, or at ® least give strong color to their pretence of right. Such! eotteeasions so far from checking this agitation, will on ly embolden these des|s-rntely designing tnen ami im pertinent itttermedlera in the prosecution of their tmlml- I'twetl and infamous purpoaes. 1 be policy here pointed out, is servile nnd rowariily in the extreme, ami will only tend to hasten the down fall of domestic slavery in the South and West, Mr llnum is undoubtedly right in standing entirely aloof ‘•nt these party entails and caucuses nnd planting our ‘‘•nut upon the clear intent and meaning of the Consti b"ti, exhorting us at all linztirila to inniiutiin the rights solemnly guaranteed to us, and to rely upon ourselves, nd ouraelvea alone for protection agninst the robbery and outrage now meditated upon us. Now we mueh pufer the coimie pursued by the Whig Convention to ‘hut ol our adversaria*, nnd our friend of the Telegraph ! I cautiously examining the proceedings of both Con- j ’ tttiiitjs, would et rtuinly have come to the conclusion | 11.! it Would have been better to hnve spared the public b'dowittg patlutic Jeremiad upon Gen. Clinch suit 11 ’ I htg ( onvertton. He ark;, “can it bt apt aA)h i that the \\ hig party had, hy a deliberate prepense t determined to exnde any rommittn! t-f their cun !■ ttjain tins question ! II tin y hnve not so rc ” b why dtt we not find Gctt. Clinch standing with ‘.'•’ti tliis exalted ground I If we were more nhve ncre* oft,ttr party, than to the first best iuter ’ “"t our beloved B<>uth, we eould find much!* folict- “ur puny upon m flue apparent desertion of tin Wi4t nil our t ■[• M lot the worthy * t.;■ i , nutsi say, .lint the charges here insinuated against ngs and their candidate, are so p't’pi'rtrroii- and to all the facts of the record, that we eould not 1 fain our risible* while reading them It in a palpa My impossible thing tltat the Whig party have, by a “deliberate prepense action determined to evade any committal of their candidate upon this question.” In the first plane, their candidate,and they well know it, does not h long to the non-committal school m politics ; he is a blunt, frank, honest, sturdy old gentleman, who carries bis heart upon big sleeve and who would seoni to conceal hie opinion* upon political subjects from the people, by whose suffrages he will Ite elevated to the Executive chair. Gen. Clinch loathes deception, and all fraud we nre sure, is most foreign from his warm, manly and sincere nature. His whole lit- proves thir’ nny, furthermore, we are well assured that he hearti ly coineides with the views of the Convention thatnom innted him, nnd that Convention did not like their op ponents, content themselves with a hollow pledge not to support for the Presidency any Wilmot proviso man, hut denounced that measure ns “unjust, unequal and unconstitutional, ’ and pledged their support to a candi date for the Presidency who they felt well assured would hnve both the will nnd ability from his tried patriotism, his unquestioned wisdom and known integrity, to repel any invasion upon the rights of the South. No man can doubt tltat Gen. Taylor is right upon this question. Here is a pledge far stronger nnd more reliable than any the Democracy have given The Whigs have not only declared their views, hut they hnve nctiiully indi cated their choice of an individual to carry out these views. They have not left this important question to be determined by a molly Convention composed of pol iticians whose opinions nre ns various nnd conflicting as the views nnd interests of this wide spread and rapid ly growing republic, and have refrained from placing themselves in surh a position ns to make pledges whol ly at variance with each other. How then does it hap pen that Gen. Clinch does not stand on ground far more exalted than any which his opponent occupies ! Who is the candidate of the Democratic party for the Presi dency? Who will Col Towns support 1 Arc they prepared to cast their votes for John C. Calhoun or any other eminent politician whose opinions upon this sub ject cannot he douhted ? We opine not. Mr Calhoun wns openly denounced upon the floor of the Convention hy the partisans and friends of Col. Towns, and had among all the members then and there assembled, “scarce a kind lriend, or pitying foe.”—Nay, more, the resolution offered in that Convention nominating Gen Taylor, subject to the decision of a National Convention, was absolutely hooted out, derided, ridi culed Now, why was all this! Was it because the leading spirit of the Convention had voted in Congress for the Oregon Territorial Bill, which contained'’ the Wilmot Proviso ? Was it because Thomas Hart Ben ton had counselled compromise and his efforts hod been seconded by a portion of the party press and leaders of Georgia! We fear it is all attributable to this cause! for we cannot shut our eyes to the twaddle about com promise in the alteration made by the Convention in the Virginia resolutions—Nay, more, we have been in formed upon reliable authority, that Mr. Cobb look up much of the precious time of the Convention in un foldingthe beauties of compromise ,and a vast majority of the assembly finally went with him in the adoption o< those resolutions so highly approved by his friend Col. 1 ow'ns. In all this, what evidence of desertion is there by the Whigs of the cause of the South. Need we ask what evidence it affords of a timid, cautious, time serving policy’ on the part of the Democracy—nay, not the Democracy—the rank and file are honest and reliable—we rather intended to say, the would-be lead ers of the Democracy! There are many other things in this letter we should be pleased to notice, but time and space forbid At some leisure moment we will give our attention to Col. Towns’ views of Strict Construction and the Mexican war, which offer us a wide and de lightful field. There are some rich morsels to be glean ed front this repast which the Col. lias so condescend ingly famished his readers. In conclusion, we bid our friend of the Telegraph adieu, nnd request him to repress the flow of bus patriot ic tears over the fallen fortunes of the Whigs and the deplorable state of the land, until he has made goodly proof of the charges which he has insinuated against the beloved and venerated hero of the Withlacoochee. He need not fear that the Whigs have given his candi date an advantage before, the people hy what he is pleased to term their equivocal and dej.lorable prudence. The hoot is on the other leg—our candidate has decid edly the advantge in this regard, and so far as the feelings ot tit • Whig pat ty at the South are concerned, we have the precious consolation of knowing that if it depenjed upon their action alone, the interests of our common country arc safe. PATSALIGA. COMMUNICATED. C’ol. Towns’ Indci^nd^nce. The Democratic papers, and especially the Macon Telegraph, seem to Ik* perfectly delighted with the J “ independence” manifested by Col. Towns, in his let ter of acceptance, on the subject ofthe “YV boot provi so.” Great praise i bestowed on him for coining out | and giving his views boldly on that important question, ■ while Gen Clinch is censured for not giving his views l on the same sub e C t Some think that all opposition to i Col Towns ought now to cease For he has had the bold ness to express ftn opinion on a vital question to the South, and in regard to which he very well knows, there is not a man , t coman, child or negro in Georgia, who differs from him. Such a perfect disregard for conse quences to himself, as Col. Towns has thus exhibited, certinly cannot be overlooked by the people of the State. The bravery, boldness/md independence of Gen. Clinch, are I believe .doubted by none, yet he had not the hardi hood in accepting a nomination for the office of Gov ernor, to express an opinion on a subject of such vast importance as the ‘‘Wilinot pioviso”—and, esjiecially, when he knew that the whole population of Georgia, coincided with him in opinion in his opposition to that mcasnre What astonishes me, is that Col. Towns has not long since volunteered to go to the Mexican War to “give aid and comfort” to his political friend Mr Polk! Men of much less “ independence” and boldnew, have gone there and fought bravely. And I shall not be surprised yet to find Col Towns beating up for volun teers to fight the battles of our country in Mexico. I am sure that a man of Rich great boldness and inde pendence cannot much longer be kept away from the field of battle and of glory. That he is against the “ Wilmot proviso ” is not surprising, for so is the whole South; it is natural that it should be so; but that he should come out and publicly express it, when everybody agrees with him, and thereby ha/rard his election to the Chief Magistracy of the State, is to me, indeed, surprising Had not his friends better tnke him down, and put up someone else*;? —he can “speak,” and it seems he can write too,—he is a man though of most reckless bold ness and independence, nnd of decidedly too little pru dence,—take him down and send him to the “wars” a station for which his boldness and independence |>eeu hnrly fit him By the way, speaking of the excessive boldness and independence of the Democratic nominee, will you be good enough, Messrs. Editors, to inform your readers how many votes Col. Towns dodged during the last j Congress 7 It would he a curious calculation and prove his faithfulness and efficiency as a public servant. OCONEE. COMMUNICATED. Messrs. Editors :—Permit me to say n few’ words through your (taper, touching certain matters of local importance. Saturday week, being u rainy day, I was ot home, quietly reading, when there knocked at my door two little girls, poorly clad and dripping wet On being questioned as to their business, they said their mother sent them to ask for a little meat —that their father was absent,and they hadn’t a mouthful at home— ami if I would let her have it, she would pay for it in sewing I questioned the children, to know who their mother was. They gave me her name, and said she lived in Macon, near Mr. ——'a brick ware house. 1 thought to myself, is it possible that the good people of that part of the city, wiii let these poor little girls travel two miles into the country, through the rain, to beg for n little meat for their dinner ! To these good citixens 1 have hut n word to say.- -how can you neglect so great a privil* g —nay, privilege, did I any?—so great a duty for it certainly is your imh*|*:iiHable duty tu feed the poor. But, permit nie to *k, what fan become of the stew ards ot the (>oor —the lnf< nor Court I Have tin yl* need up and shut in every avenue to sympathy for the aufler- I ing poor ? The law constitutes them the special guar dians of this class of population. Os the Court, 1 there ; lore nsk, whnt ore you doing 1 Do net the people of i Ylibb county pay a l nvy tax to support the poor?— (’mainly. Then what luis become of it? As we pay the tnx, we may as well know something of tie manner in which it is disbursed- specially as we see no pro vision made for the objects fer whose h.-in-fit this tnx is levied. Verily, there is reason to f*nr,thnt things arc getting Wfirse, instead of better, tinder the management of !iisreform Court. They should recollect. though, that trust funds are snored—made so by both moral and State low, find those who are regardless of the one, are mill amenable to the other. I have no wish, Mensrs. Editors, to annoy the Court hv threatening legal pm altics, hut ns I know some of them to be conscientious men, I would remind them that Providence will hardly , excuse them for failing in their obligations to the poor, i W bile on matters connected with the Inferior Court,! permit me to call their attention to the Bridge at Ilai~ , ley s Mill This bridge is itt n very unsafe condition. The lust Gram! Jury directed their attention to that fact, j nnd still they seem to pay no regard to it. In one in stance. to mv knowledge, the matter was mentioned to a member of the Gourt, nnd the answer was, “ we have paid liniley to fix it.” To fix it how? Why, merely to lev down a new floor un old sleepers, nnd put up one small post, without tenant ormortice at either end, from the mud-sill to the cap. Now, I maintain that this ar rangement is improper, because deceptive and danger ous. It presents the appearance of safety to travellers, when, in my opinion, it is a mere trap, that will catch some unwary passenger before the next business season expires. The Inferior Court nre also the guardians of tlte travelling community, so far ns roads aud bridges nre concerned, us well us the poor; and if that bridge should happen to full in, and injure the person or property of atty body, the t ourt will be liable for heavy damages in money to the party suffering from their neglect And it a casualty ol that kind should result jit the loss of life, l nsk ill all seriousness, would the court Ite without reproach ? Think of that, gentlemen of the Inferior Court, and do your duty. The people are nble and willing to feed the poor nnd pny for good bridges. It is your duty to levy the taxes and see them properly applied That you may look to these tnntters in time to clear your skirts from blunte, is the friendly advice of 8188. COMMUNICATED. Railroad Meeting at Fort Valley. At a meeting of a portion nf the citizens ol Fort Val ley and vicinity, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: It is proposed to hnve n meeting at Fort Valiev on the 25th of the present month, (August) for flic purpose of nseertning the views and feelings of the citizens of the County on the projected Railroad from Macon through our county, to the South-western part of the State. There will be gentlemen who have experience in tlte building of Railroads to meet us on thnt day, nnd ad dress us on the subject. Farmers of Houston, we now hnve an opportunity ofthrowing off that incubus which has hung so heavily over our farms, viz: the hauling of our Cotton to Macon in our wagons. There is a spirit up in the citizens of Savannah and Macon, and the South-western counties, which if we I meet in a proper manner, will secure the building of the Road. It is not expected, nor from the sad experience of some other Roads would it be good policy, for a tew farmers to undertake to build such a Road. But let us all come up to the work, and then we will see the good effects, When we look at the majestic Mississippi rolling its huge waters into the Gulf, we nnt itntlly ask ourselves, whence comes this mighty stream of water! We will tell you whence it comes—go to the A'leghany.the Rocky Mountains, nnd there behold the thousands of small streams issuing front their sides ami wintling themselves into a common channel and then again into others, until they form the mighty river. Look under your feet as you tread upon the sides of those mountains, and you will see one of the heads nf that gigantic stream gurgling front under a leaf. And so it will he with the fanners of Houston nnd the tdjoining counties; let each and every one come up with his mite, and we will have the means to build n Road of which not only our county, hut our State, will be proud. Resolved, That the following gentlemen be a Com mittee to invite gentlemen from abroad to address the meeting, viz: Wm. J. Anderson, Win. H. Hollins head, Win. Felton, Lewis Rumph and Geo. Slappy. Resolred, That the proceedings of this meeting be published ffi the Macon papers. JAMES A. EVERETT. Chrm. John J Hampton, Secretary. Fort Valley, Houston Cos., Aug. 3d 1847 The Resignation. The Columbus Enquirer reminds the ppople of Georgia, thnt Col. Towns, in 1836, resigned his seat in Congress, as it was generally believe and at the time, to en gage in a speculation in Western lands The object of all the companies which existed at that day, wns to purchase the lands at government price, and sell them to the people at enormous profits Hundreds of poor settlers were thus ruined. That Mr. Towns had a right to employ his means or credit in any way he thought proper, is not denied ; but it is questionable whether he had a right to throw up a public trust, given to him, with his own consent, by tlte people, for the pur pose alleged. He then put the people of Georgia to the trouble and expense of holding an election to supply his place, and the Enquirer very properly asks: “ Is there a man in Georgia that would confer the Ex ecutive office upon Col. Towns with the belief that it would be vacated the liist moment a western speculation tempted the incumbent to desert it I What assurance is there that the same course previously pursued would not be followed out again! None whatever.” A Scathing Rebuke. The Savannah Republican deals out to the Editor of the Athens Danner the following just and scathing re buke “ The Editor of the Southern Banner is informed that this paper is the organ of no man. It is the advocate of the cherished principles of the Whig party ; and to carry them out,and to preserve to the people of Georgia ; an honest and economical administration of the State 1 affairs, it advocates and supports the election of that j tried patriot and sterling Whig, Gen. Clinch. We have never approved of the vote of censure upon Gen. Taylor by the late Democratic House of Rep resentatives. We have never supported the President in hia studied and marked effort to defame our gallant leaders in Mexico— Scott and Taylor. We never supported the darling scheme of the Ad ministration, to supercede and disgrace Scott and Tay lor, by the ele. ation of humbug Benton, a Wilmot Proviso Democrat, over their heads. We never approved of the famous “ pass” to Mexico, given to Santa Anna, by which our enemies were sup plied with a skilful General and leader. We never sustained or approved of the conduct of this war by the President—ol the wanton sacrifice of life on the banks ot the Rio Grande, by (K-stileuce, owing to the shameful neglect of the Administration, in not providing the most ordinary meana of protection from the inclement weather during the sickly season. We have never given “ aid and comfort” to our ene mies, by assuring them that one half ot tlie people ot ; tins country were traitors to their country, and Mexi- 1 cans in sympathy. We never advocated the commencement of this war | to recover from Mexico tin* debt she owed us, as well as ‘ the ex\*enses oj collection, and after we had got into | it, the more disgraceful scheme of buying a peace. We advocate a guruus and energetic prosecution 1 ot the war, witii ail the means within uic control ol the ! Notion, and by the cordial and hearty co-operation of i every branch of the public service—but we will un- ! eeasmgly denounce the demagogue who, for a tempo rary personal or party benefit, defames our best Gener al*—paralyses their etlbrt*, and jeopardises lls* safety ot ’ our entire array. When the Editor of the Banner can say a* much—when he (having been one of the pnnei- j pal instruments in th i Annexation of Texas, tin* elec tion ot Polk, and the consequent war with Mexico,) sliall buckle on Ins armor, volunteer tor the war, uud take his stand with that gallant body ot patriot Wings who, by their unflinching bravery, fortitude and skill, have reflected additional lustre upon the American name—when he shall have become as one of these, he may, with some show of decency and propriety, qu*s j ttoti the patriotism of others.” Anecdote ol Gen. Taylor. The Mississippi volunteer* relate an anecdote ilins traiing General Taylor’s characteristic goodm of heart. Boon after the battle of .Monterey, and during the excessively hot weather, from which officers and men sutlered sev rely, some gentlemen scut Gen. Tay lor tor hia private use,a barrel of ice, and n quantity of i delicious eiaiet. The precious burthen wax deposited at the General's totit, with a note from the donor; alter politely acknowledging which, its* obi hero caused the { in ad cl the barrel to be knocked out, and taking far his . own u>'<! a lump ns large ns his fist, sent the whole of the remainder and the claret, to the hospital, far the use ;of the sick soldiers. This if hut one instance, out of ma ny, ol the considerate and Stfit-ncrilkdflg generosity and humanity of Gen. Taylor's character. Wc suite this fact ujm>u the authority ofs geiilleinan who had it fiom the Volunteers. Such con- I duct adds u new lustre to th* old hero's radiant tame, brighter than any which tne most brilliant deed* of, aim< could unpin t Not Itnil. The New York correspondent of the Union states that Gen. Tam Thumb wsn w his way to Khrutoun Springs, N. Y., when he heard thnt the trustees of the town hnd resolved to tax him j 25 a tiny for license. As the thing was unprecedented, the General sent them a letter, informing them thnt he was satisfied Saratoga al ready possessed men so much smaller than himself that he did not desire to come into competion with them. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP HIBERNIA AT BOSTON. FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. Tlte steamer Hibemin, Ryrie, from Liverpool, 20th, via Halifax, 31st, arrived at 6 30 A. M. A Liverpool date of her day of sailing, states that du ring the previous ten days, the weather had been almost unimeniptedly fine, and each day strengthened the ex pectations entertained of nn abundant harvest of grain throughout the British Islands, and all Europe. The henvy decline in corn, which took place at the begin ing ot the month hnd been checked since the 12th The market hns again given way.

The trade in Indian com wis, how ever, quite paralysed, and flour ill barrels was quite neg | lected. 1 he cotton market hnd been steady since the 10th , • sales pretty large aud a considerable portion riken out speculation and for exjuirt; there was a lietter demand from the trade, as orders from foreign countries were on the increase. There had been an advance of LI in pri ces since the 10th, and the market closed steadily at the quotations. The sales of the week ending July IC, were were 40,160 bales. In cured provisions a limited business Butterhnd re ceded; transactions in bacon were limited; prices had re ceded 2a 4 shillings. Pork in limited demand Amer ican hams neglected, nnd prices if anything lower.
