Meiancofy Death.
Last night about 12 o'clock an old
gentleman named Owen Blackburn
sixty-three years of age, made a mistep
in going down stairs, fell and fractured
his skull, against the washboard, caus
ing his death in a few miuutes. An
inquest before Coroucr Baker, returned
a verdict in accordance with the above
statement.
Great Western Insurance ami Trust
Company.
The attention of our readers is direct
ed to the annual statement of this com
pany, in another place. We believe
their business is constantly increasing
in this city, through the exertions of
their persevering and popular agent,
Mr. Tuos. Wutte. The following no
tice of this company is from TuckeU's In
mi anee Journal, for November.
This office has issued its annual state
ment for the year ending October 31,
1808, which we give below. It will be
seen that the receipts for premiums
(fire and marine) exceed the expendi
tures by more than $21,000 ; adding to
this the other income of the office, the
year’s surplus will be about $29,000.
We should think that this sum will not
he much lessened by the losses occur
ring on undetermined risks, especially
as the Company have been restricting
the marine department of its business.
The results of the year have shown that
prudence and foresight have marked
the management of the institution.—
The increase of its fire premiums over
the previous year $14,699.59. During
the same period there was a decrease of
marine premiums amounting t0510.426,-
74, showing a nett gain of $4,272,-
85. In other words a larger and better
business. The investments of the Great
Western are of a judicious character ;
the rental of the building at the corner
of Fourth and Walnut streets affords an
income of $2,500 over the cost of inter
est, repairs, taxes, &c. Having gone
triumphantly through the oppositions
and financial troubles of the past year,
the future of the institution promises
well.
Dry Goods Imports tor November.—
The dry goods imports for the month
of November show about the same fig
ures as for the same mouth last year ;
hut in that month the amount put upon
the market was very small, smaller
than perhaps ever before in the month
of November. It was a mouth of great
depression. Os $4,454,000 worth of
goods that entered the port only $834,-
6SO was sold, ttie balance accumulated
in bond. It is usually the case that the
imports in November exceed the sales.
This was the case in 1856, when of $4,-
433,000 imported but $3,961,000 were
put on the market. This year however
is an exception since the sales have ex
ceeded the imports by nearly SCO,OOO.
The supply of silks, although more
than last year, is less by $500,000 than
the value received for the month of
November, 1857. The wool receipts are
also less, and the diminution of sup
plies apply more to Germany than eith
er to France or England. The disposi
tion to import largely receives noencour
agement from the state of internal bus
iness and the leading homes whose bus
iness was generally undisturbed by the
“ purterbatien ” of last year will move
but cautiously for the spring trade. The
depression which goods underwent here
ns compared with the prices abroad, did
not encourage either orders or consign
ments, and under the impulse of rising
materials and demand for goods abroad,
in view of the better harvests,the mar
kets there i#: goods rise faster than
they do,or are likely to do here. The de
mand in the United States must be so
effective as to talise an advance in prices
on very favorable sums for tire sellers
produce a very actine movement.

i WEEKLY REVIEW.
AUGUSTA DISPATCH OFFICE, \
December 10, 1858. j
REMARKS.—We have had rather a dull week
in all branches of trade, owing to the wet weaih- j
. er and the depressed condition of our Cotton
market, which at this season of the year is the
great regulator of business in our city. The re
, oeipts of produce have been light, and the do
rnand confined almost exclusively to the wants i
of the city trade. In Groceries we have no im-
portant changes to note,and refer our readers to
our table ol prices current,
j COTTON.—At the close of our last review, we
left the market with a declining tendency—
? the speculative operations of the week having
t imp. rted a buoyancy to prices somewhat higher
than the relativosCgurcs at the ports. (We then
quoted Strict Middling 11 ; Good Middling 11?£ ;
Middling Fair UXftllX cents.) The receipts
of the week have been 9,195 bales, against 5,685
he week before. On Friday the above rates
w r ere hardly maintained, and only 150 bales were
reported. On Saturday the depression continued.
I and only 37 bales were reported in our paper of!
s’ that day, at prices >£c. below the highest point. (
... On Monday nothing was done, buyers aud sellers j
, refusing to make concessions. On Tuesday 366 j
bales were sold at liftll*i cents. On Wednes !
• day mort ing 543 bales were sold, at prices rang
) ing from 10 V % to 11 >, cents. The market to-day !
j has been quiet, and sales of only 234 bales were j
, reported up to 1 o'clock. At the time we close j
our weekly review—s o’clock P. IL, Thursday—
a comparison of prices with those current at the |
opening of the week, shows a decline of
cent. We now quote : Good Middling 11 ’•# ; Mid- j
diing Fair 11,cents.
There is a good inquiry to-day, at advancing;
• prices. Offering stock light. Sales reported 6301
e bales, as follows : Bat 10, 7at 10)4, 15 at 10)a
y' 15 at 10#, 17 at JO#, 27 at It#. 70 at 11, 188 a
r 11#, 24 at 11 B*l6, 77 at 11#, 182 at 11# cents.
We quote Good Middling at 11#; Middling Fair
> cents. Receipts 1904 bales.

| uati Market, seems to have manifested itseli
j iu most of the Western markets, and prices are

| decline is looked for, before the close of the
