Wire for tiie Atlantic Cable.—The Boston, Allas says : It is generally sup posed that the Atlantic Cable was made entirely in England. Such is not the case. Very many miles of the wire were manufactured in Providence, at a actory in the upper portion of the city. One thousand tons of iron per day were consumed in the work, audits superiur gp jty over that made in England is well understood by the Cable Company. It is worthy of note, that no portion of the wire made in this country parted while being laid. — Case of I lie Slaver. In the United States District Court, vesterday, Judge Magratli presiding,the District Attorney, James Conner, Esq., on requesting to put on file the return of the Marshal on the writ of Habeas Cor pus granted on behalf of the crew of the brig Putnam,an argument arose between that officer a.ul Messrs.

De- Treville, counsel for the prisoners, on the right of the prisoners to an order for the writ of Certiorari, founded on pe tition, before the return to tho writ of Habeas Corpus was considered. Judge Magrath reserved his opinion on the matter of the petition, and the District Attorney having read the return on the writ of Habeas Corpus, the Court adjourn ed to * o’clock this morning.—CT. -Vena, 9th insl. Narkow Escape. —We have been Shewn a letter, from a gentleman of this city written from New York in which the writer states, that “on passing the ter minus of the Charlotte Branch R Road which leads to the grave of Thoe. Jeffer son, it was with difficulty that our fel low townsman, Mr. H. Muhlenbrink, was prevented from leaping from the train at full speed.” Fortunately Mr. Cunningham, a stalwart man, from this city, was present and prevented the ent astrope which would have ensued from the harsh act. We know that Mr. Muh lenbrink has ever been an enthusiastic admirer of Thomas Jefferson, and we arc not at all surprised at the ebullition of feeling which manifesteditself on the Pi cagjgfl’atiove alluded to.— Atlanta In- ' JeUipencer, 10 th inst.

HOLBROOK. * ■ Hark I' Her laugh is like a fairy's faugh, So musical and sweet Hush'. Did you hear that burst of merriment ? t Let us peep in this rose wreathed win 1 i dow, and see from whose merry heart • came those gushing and soft rich notes. She must be beautiful." : ” Who. Walter ?” “ Why, the one who created the i J I j laugh—some fair innocent young being, with a soul like sparkling waters, and a i 1 face all brightness." “Ah! brother mine, in love with a laugh ; I shall tell Miss Hilliard; she never condescends to even smile.” “ Please forget Miss Hilliard, until I obtain a nearer glimpse of the exquis -1 ite form which just glided past the 1 window.” Come, come softly said he, a moment afterwards, as he gently parted the closely woven roses from the ! shadowed casement, “ saw you ever a *j being so lovely, so beautiful?” ’ • “ She is indeed, very, very hand some,” replied May Loring, as she com .: plied with her brother’s wish and peep , ed through the window. , A young girl of seventeen summers, with a profusion of dark brown curls, a form of exquisite grace, and a face of soft, yet brilliant loveliness, was resting carelessly against the back of an old fashioned arm-chair. One bare and 1 beautifully rounded arm was thrown ’ over the richly carved ebony frame work, one tiny foot was beating uncon sciously, a merry tune on the projecting rocker. She was alone, and appeared i to be lost in pleasant thoughts, for a mischievous smile played around her I bright and half parted lips, deepening the dimples of her carmine cheek, ; while tho dreamy light in her soft li | quid eyes grew eloquent with sparkling \ merriment. At length, she started 5 from her reverie, and throwing herself among the cushions of the chairs, i again hurst forth in a thrilling and ’ I irrepressible peal of laughter, which sounded through the small parlor, more | ! sweet and melodious than the warble 1 ! of the woodland birds, or the gush of i the merry rivulet. She ceased not till •! the tears stood like gelfts on the long silken lashes, under which her violet | eyes shown forth like shadowed waters; she then bounded from her seat, and crossing the room, to an open piano, : ran her fingers lightly over the keys, • singing : “ It is wicked I know to j 1 laugh at him so,” &c.. See., “ Some sober old bachelor has been ' prosposing, and that has been the cause ' of her merriment. I hope she does not treat the young ones, so,” and Walter Luring sighed. 5 May was about teasing her brother ' on the gravity of bis handsome face, which tlic soft moonlight made visible i to her sharp eyes, but at that moment ' the giddy creature came gliding toward , the window, still caroling in a peculiar-j ily sweet voice,her improvisatriced song, ‘ and the ttffrwsre.compelled to hastily . retreat. , , . t “ Well, Walter, have you concluded to make this quiet village our summer home?" inquired May, as they con -1 tinueil their walk through tho shady , street. i “ Provided you promise to procure • me an acquaintance with the young sil— J very laugh, 1 11 do so love to hear a free ir wild, musical, natural, burst of laugh -1 ter.” “No doubt of it, ‘ Wal ’ said May, . her bright eyes sparkling mischievious ly. But I am highly delighted that . you think of remaining, for onr friends, • the Jones’s wish us to do so very much, i and have made arrangements for a par . ty. You will have an opportunity of i causing tho hearts of the pretty village • giris to thrill, when presented to the [ dark, proud eyes, shining hair, and 1 faultless mustache of the princely Wal t ter Loring ! But take care that you don’t J get served like the quiet old gentleman, by the lovely girl we have peeped in at.” “ Don’t rattle on at such arate if you i are released from the bondage of a form ■ ed city. No danger of my : .” But the sentence remains unfinished » for at that moment they met their 1 friends, who took them home with them j to discuss the subject of the party. 1 The next evening came, and witlx it r gay and smiling lads and lassies, of j. the village gathered in the tasteful par -2 lars of the Howards. Many a bright 3 eyed and dimpled cheek maiden was presented to the stately and elegant I Mr. Loring,but his restless glance found , not the face it sought, nor the soft tones which had met his ear. t At length the buzz of many greet • | iugs reached him from tho adjoining _ room, and, in a moment, the one he 1 so impatiently looked for, glided into tire room, smilirg and blushing and saying gaythings in reply to the flattery e addressed to her. She did not, for a • moment, observe Loving, and he had full time to gratify his wonder and ad r miration at her exquisite grace and - j loveliness. A dress of snowy muslin j fell in drooping folds around her form, 2 which was of the most exquisite round e ness and symmetry. Her beautiful arms gleamed whitely beneath a fall of white lace, looped up with white roses. B A wreath of lillies designed to confine i her redundant brown curls, but they were not used to restraint, and had stolen in graceful confusion upon her slender neck and waist. Notwithstand ing her laughing gayety, there was an ■ expression of spiritual sadness that ever and anon would flit across her brow and cast a soft shadow in her bright eye. She had just made a care less repartee to the remark of some gal lant, when her glance caught the earn est gaze of tho proud stranger. The drooping fringes swept down quickly over her crimson cheek, and then those eloquent eyes were raised to his with a timid, inquiring look. That blush and glance —how should he understand , them ? The thriti of a long, silent chord in his heart, answered him ! Ad vancing with a bright smile, he held out his hand. “ Ella Wesford ! Is it possible?” “Quite possible, Mr. Loring; none \ other than little Ella Wesford, whom i you so bravely rescued from a home amid the mermaids on the Atlantic l coast.” “Ah ! I suppose you would have been very glad to have reigned queen of the [ revels in coral palaces ” Ella was no longer a child, her ten- j der heart had thrilled to the music of; love. Summer had passed away, and Wal ter Loring and his sister May wore to j return home to the city. - “ Bear up, my Ella,” he said, as he | bid her farewell, “the months will , speedily pass away, and at Christmas j you will be prepared to return with me j to my home as my bride. May intends j corresponding with you, and I hopeyou | will respond to her letters. We will soon be happy,” and thus Ella was left to patiently wait for the time of his re- j turn.

REMARKS—We publish this morning the first' Number of our Letter Sheet Prices Current, and | if any inaccuracies in our tables or quotations ] should be discovered, we hope they will be over- j iijoked. We have been out of harness some: lime, and Cud that a number of our merchants have also got estray for the want of a weekly re liable regulator. But by the time business fair ly opens we hope to be able to give actual trans actions, which will be the fairest guide for cor rect quotations. We publish our usual tables of Receipts, Stock and Exports, made up to the la tost dates received, from which it will be seen that the Receipts this year exceed those of last, I about 102,000 bales,while the stock on hand at the | j different shipping ports is 17,705 bales more than ' |at the corresponding period last year. The Exports show an increase to Great Britain of j | 367,283 bales, while to France there lias been u ! decrease of 30,351 bales, to other Foreign Ports : 12 579, aud to coastwise ports 197,092, leaving J the total increase in exports, to all quarters, ! only 1*27,400 bales. As regards the prosen crop, | there is much complaint recently from all sec- ( lions of the Cotton growing region, of rust, the j boll worm and the shedding ot blossoms and forms. It is just the season of the year when the plant is subject to blight, b ;t if one-half the that reach us through our exchanges, from different quarters, are true, the prospect for a good crop is nothing like as favorable as it I w»3 three weeks ago. 1 COTTON.—As the offering stock and receipts ! are light, but a limited business lias been done the past week, but prices have stiffened, and ' we have to notice an advance of about X cent on all qualities since our last report, but more j particularly on the better grades, which meet j with ready sale, when put on the market, at our 'quotations : To-day there was a fair demand, and the sales reach 113 bales—l 3 at 11X ; 83 at 12 ; and 17 at 12*4 cents. The receipts aro on the increase, j and reach this morning 187 bales.

GENERAL REMARKS.—Business is gradually! increasing in the Grocery line, but the whole | sale- prices for many of the leading articles are irregular- Our table of wholesale prices is made! up with great ca»*e, and we think can be relied j on. There is no scarcity of any article that we i hear of, and our merchants now have stocks on ’ hand that will meet the demand of a heavy , falltrtde. They purchased early and at low prices. CORN.—There is little or no demand for Corn, and we quote 62 to 65 cent- iu lots, sacks inclu ded—retailing from stores in small lots at 7' ©75 cents. A small lot, we understand was so d this week at 70 cents, short time. FLOUR.—The demand continues good for both Country and City Mills Flour, and although we cannot alter our quotations of lasi week, holders difficulty in getting them, and prices tend upward. The supply of Country is still limited, aud Tennessee is i > good demand at ad- J vancing prices.
