Cftoraig Dispatch. _ AUGUST A,jGA^ Friday Evrtilnp, Jan. *9. IH3B. Book Table. Three Days in Memphis ; or sketches of the public and private life of the old Egyptians. By Max Uhlemann. Trans lated by E. Goodrich Smith, of Wash ington, D. C. When we commenced the reading of this book, we experienced some difficul ty, in keeping in our mind, the fact that we were readiug a veritable history, and not the fancy of a wild dreamer; but, as we progressed, our interest in creased, and we have been amply paid for the perusal. The author has long been a student of Egyptian history, and In Europe he is ranked among the best, of several who have written upon this interesting country. Egypt has long been looked upon •with wonder by all who take an inter est in ancient history. The immense Pyramids, the lofty Monuments, and the magnificent Ruins which are found spread over her surface, have indicated, that she was once the Queen of the world, and that she possessed the arts and sciences, to adegree, hardly equalled in our own day. To decypher her an ancient history, to read the characters which were found engraved upon her monuments, which were believed to be a record of her history, in the language of her palmiest days, has been the stud dy of the author for years, and it is be lieved, that the key has been found, which unlocks these mysteries. This book is written in the style of a vision of th days in three Ancient Cap ital of Egypt. The reader is carried about the city ; into her ancient Palaces and Temples, and introduced to the customs and man ners of the people, and their institu tions as they existed three thousand years ago. The book is useful and entertaining. For sale by Thos. Kichauds & Son. J Moral Influence or Newspapers. “The Georgia Citizen says that one of ! its subscribers writes from a jail. in one of the interior counties, wanting the direction of his paper changed. “Is not this a bad commentary on the j influence of the Citizen. Doctor, or was the man too far gone to be affected by your moral restoratives?”— Augusta Dit patch. To this Dr. Andrews replies : “Didn’t have time to influence his moral condition. Besides, he has too | long been within the immediate juris- ; diction of the Dispatch for our elevator to have had its legitimate power.” We demur to your plea, Doctor. At the time referred to the Dispatch did not circulate in that region. There is an old adage that the hair of the dog will j cure his bite, and hence it was, we take it, that the unfortunate individual, as-1 ter imbibing the dog- mas of the Citizen : until he got in limbo, applied to the same fountain for comfort and relief. .*. ■ ffT Halloway’s Btables in Charles ton, corner of Broad and Friend streets, weri destroyed by fire on Wednesday night, 27th inst. nr We see it announced by northern i papess, that Gov.

Mrs. Dickerson, a lady celebrated as a < luitarist and Pianist, gives a Concert to night, assisted by her four children, the oldest of whom is only four years. We commend to the intelligent and humane of ourcity, this lady, and trust 1 that her Concert will be liberally pat ronized, for the reason that its proceeds aay enable her to establish a school in ■ ■ur city. which she designs doing, and I ecause the rare musical attainments of 1 herself and family merit the most gener- 1 ouh patronage. 1 If this is the female who was drunk ' a Marietta last week, of the same name, | giving concerts with her children, wef commend the care of the poor children | ( to the humane, and the unfortunate . mother to the tender mercies of some | work house. She ought not to be coun tenanced in her present calling. Picnsnut finding of th*' Halloo Di vorce Case. A writer in the Washington Stales, says : “My fair r< iders will remember a terrible dorm otic muss in Boston last ye. , in which a young h... w named Sum icr, was so beaten ib.it he died, giving rise to ail sorts of suits for man slaughter, divorce, and other naughty matter Well, a gentleman here just from Kansas, tells me that this same Mr. Frank Dalton and his wife have made friends, determined to live in peace, and are now quietly settled at .Lawrence, where he is doing business. Liverpool Annual Cotton Report. The year 1857 has been beyond all ■ question the most remarkable year in the commercial history of the world. To " a mutiny—accompanied by deeds of un paralleled bloodshed and atrocity of her majesty's native troops in the East _ Indies lias been added towards the close " of the year a financial crisis of the most intense severity, a crisis which com s menced in the United States of Ameri -1 ca, and spread like an epidemic to our own country, where, after causing the ’ suspension of several hanks and many .- mercantile firms, (some highly respect able,) the total of whose liabilities are . estimated to exceed £50,000,000 stcr -1 ling, and causing a frightful deprecia ■■ tion iu the value of all kinds of pro t perty, it extended its influence to almost all the principal cities of the continent ' of Europe, where it Taged with an equal I severity. The experience of the last 3 months ] exposes the fallacy of all calculations as J to the future course of a market based 5 upon figures alone. Four months ago, 1 a general alarm pervaded more or less all classes connected with the cotton trade, and many calm, dispassionate 1 men were of opinion that before the end of the present year cotton would have a advanced to a fabulous price, and that the stock held in Liverpool would be re duced to a very insignificant quantity, e But how have these fears been realized ? j Cotton fell in price on an average near . ly 4d. per ib., and the total stock in Liverpool is larger than it was at this , time last year. It may he remarked, b and with perfect truth too, that this ra pid decline and unlooked for stock, was 8 theresnlt of external circumstances quite 1 beyond human foresight. No doubt to - some extent this is correct, but many parties now incline to the opinion that ' had the market gone on advancing in r October, or even had the extravagant ; high rates then current been maintain s ed, the results ultimately would have been the same (though no doubt in a ' much slower degree,) for the continu ■ ance of the then state of things would 1 have caused a general resort to short I time by spinners and manufacturers, and the enhanced value of the raw material i ’would have induced an overwhelming . i import from all parts of the world. I The apparent crop of cotton in Ame rica for the year 1856-57, for perhaps I! tlie first time on record, proved to have , j been over-estimated. The total quanti- I ty brought to the ports only amounted Ito 2,939,510 hales, against 3,527,485 ’ bales the previous year. Small as this quantity undoubtedly was, the actual crop of cotton must have been conside rably less; if any such conclusion may be drawn freafc the immense amount of 1 jsand and nmnish that was shipped as cotton to this country throughout the j >season. To some extent allowance must j' |be made for the peculiarities of weather 1 j and seasons for the growth of cotton in 1 America, hot no weather or season can :he a reasonable excuse for the fraudulent ! I packing of the hales with sand and dirt ' jsuchashas been witnessed during the ' ■| past year. Too much cannot be said or 1 written on the subject of the honesty of 1 the package, but lam afraid that there will be plenty of American cotton plan- ] j ters too anxious to send bales mixed with a liberal proportion of sand and , ; earth instead of cotton alone, i The concluding three months, of last 1 ! year were characterised by a large spec ; illative demand for Cotton, and high , | prices were consequently established. I 1 , find the quotation for “middling” Or- 1 loans on the 31st December last year * [was 7 5-Bd. per lb. In the first week of (the present year the quotation was ' raised l-Bd. per lb. Throughout the 1 [first six months, however, the market { | was remarkably tranquil, the rates cur- I i rent for several consecutive weeks tai ling the same, and on the 3d July “mid ■ filing ” Orleans were quoted at Bd. per [ Ib. About this period the shortness of j * last year s crop of American Cotton and ‘ ; the apparent gloomy prospects for the r future, began to alarm all parties in j | any way connected with Cotton. Spin- ! liers and manufacturers evinced an ex- 1 | tremc desire to stock themselves for J some months to come, and I find that ' Sin fourteen weeks ending the 11th Sep- < [tembor, the trade purchased in this ‘ market alone 692,520 hales, or a week- 1 !]y average of 49,465. Os course such extensive operations, combined with 1 light stocks resulted in a serious ad- ‘ j ranee in prices, and on that day “mid- • dling” Orleans, werequotedat 9 l-8d 1 [ per lb. For three weeks from that; 1 date the market was dull and irregular, | j but sound useful Cotton was scarce and - commanded previous prices. On Thurs- E day, the Bth Oct., the rate of discount ' I was raised to 6 per cent., which, how ever, being expected, had no effect on ' prices. On Saturday, the 10th, and early in the morning of the 12th Octo- 6 her, the market reached the highest point ( ever attained for at least twenty-one ? j years. A large business was done on ■ speculation (principally by one house; ' land middling Orleans were sold in quan- 1 tity at 9 l-2d per lb. The interval be tween the 13th October and the after- * noon of the 12th November was with- 6 out precedent in this country. The in- 1 fluenee of the American crisis now be gan to be felt. The rate of discount I was further raised to seven percent. On 1 the 12tli October at noonday, and as a defensive measure the rate was rapidly " increased by the directors of the Bank * of England uutii it reached 10 per cent. , on the the 9th November, the highest \ rate ever enforced since the passing of the present Bank Act. Iu the interim enormous failures were announced daily, . the most prominent of a local charac ter being that of the Liverpool Borough f Bank, all of which pressed more or less heavily upon holders of cotton, and as Jj the legitimate demand was very limi ted, forced sales were made for cash at - almost any sacrifice. On the morning of the 12th November middling Boweds ' were sold at 6d. per lb. Late on theaf- , ternoon of that day the Bank Act was [suspended by order of Government.— [Cotton at once advanced l-2d. to 3-4 d. I per lb., but this advantage to holders ] [was only temporary. Although the panic was over in this country, its es- ' sects were still to be felt. Immense failures were announced from day to day, more pariicularly on the continent, and general distrust continued to pre- . vail. Forced sales for cash payment - continued to be made, and on the 18th December middling Oiieans were quoted t at 5 3-4 d. per lb., being a decline of c 3 3 4d. per lb. from the highest point i attained on the 12th October. t Before concluding these remarks I 1 I would call the attention of my friends , not only to the increased consumption, J - but the improved character of Surat cot r ton, and to express the hope that al- ; i though American cotton has fallen to a j : comparatively moderate price, they will ■ ; eontinuo to offer the same encourage- i i ment to the grower of East India cotton, 1 t now that prices of all kinds are low, as ’ they did-when a much higher price had 1 to be paid for the article in the market.

The gener . al estimates of the past year’s crop in j America vary from 3,000,000 to 3,250,000 , bales, and if any opinion may be formed ’ by the early shipments, its quality will ' prove infinitely superior to that of the previous year. In addition to an in ! creased American crop, there is every probability of an abundant import from t the other cotton growing districts of . the world. ’ December 31. Francis Hollins. From the Baltimore Sun, Jan. 26. thirty-fifth congress. first session. Washington, Jan. 25, 1858. senate. A communication was presented from the Secretary of War, giving the num ber of troops in Kansas for each quar ter, from the Ist of January, 1855, to the present time. Mr. Mason made a report on Central American affairs. The report concludes with two reso lutions, to the effect—that no provis ions of law are necessary to confer au thority on the President to cause arrests and seizures to be made on the high 6eas for offenses committed against the nentralty act of 1818; that the place where Wm. Walker and his fol lowers were arrested, being without the jurisdiction of the United States, their arrest was without warrant of law; but in view of the circumstances attending it and its results in ta king away from the territory of a State in amity with the United States, American citizens who were there with hostile intent, it may not call for fur j tlier censure than, os it might hereafter ! be drawn into precedent, if suffered to pass without rebuke. The committee also reported a bill authorising persons engaged in hostile expeditions (such as Walker’s) to be brought into port for trial. The con sideration of the subject was postponed till the 9th of February. Mr. Trumbull submitted a minority report upon the contested seats of Messrs. Bright and Fitch. Mr. Davis called up the bill for the increase of the army, and after some explanations, its further consideration was postponed till to-morrow. Mr. Harlan then commenced a speech : in opposition to the Lccompton Consti tution, and to the course of the Presi dent. Mr. Brown said, as the Lccompton Constitution would probably he sent to Congress, it would then be a practical question, and on his motion, the sub ject was postponed till that day. The Seuate then adjourned. HOUSE. The Speaker announced the following members as the select committee on the Pacific Railroad: Messrs.

Mr. Keitt, in the absence of Mr. Har ris, of Illinois, who had moved thata res olution be adopted for the expulsion of Mr. Matteson, moved that the further consideration of the subject ho post poned for one mouth, saying that he understood, on good authority, that Mr. Matteson was detained at home in con sequence of the severe illness of his wife. The motion was agreed to.

It is one of the few patent medicines which are now sold over the country, that are really what their inventors claim for them. Wherever it Ims had a fair trial, the result has been precisely us Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the white hair back to the natural color, where the directions have been strictly followed, and in numerous cases it has restored the hair upon heads that had been bald for years. It is not pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev ery case, but where it tails there is certainly no remedy. The restoration of the hair has been effected in so many instances where the case seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain v worth while for all who have lost their hair io try the experiment of using a bottle or two of Wood’s Restorative. —Moline Workman.
