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. U. S. JEL Sf Dry G*od» Repomr.

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.
