STATE OF TRADE.
LlvitlFooL. Jan. 13.—There has been rather a large bu
siness done this week in the principal article of emisump-
t'on. The accounts to hand from Bombay, China, and A-
merica, have had no effect on oor business and the trade of
the manufacturing districts, aa it is evident, from the range
of prices for goods in India, that no shipments of much
weight will be made, should spinners insist on advanced
rates, whilst the latter letters fmm the cotton rrowing States
of America are calculated to enhance the receipts here of
the raw material, aa the estimate of crop bna been reduced,
and shipments now arriving will leave a loss that may f.iirly
be estimated at 7 per cent, on the amount invested. One
rather important statement is reported in some correspon
dence, to theeffeot thitthe southern Bank* were strain as
sisting the planters tn withhold their crops from market, and
that, whilst the stocks in the port a Were accumulating, prices
were advancing under the influence of such assistance.—
Here we have had a lively market, with large sales, chiefly
to speculators at prices a shade higher; yesterday, espe
cially. sn enormous business was done, roughly estimated at
from 18.000 to 20.000 balea. The excitement in the share
market has apparently blown over, and the transactions are
not to numerous.—LiverpmJ Mercury. 12/A nit.

The Foreign Nrirs—Another Short Arrival—
Three days Later.
On the first page of this day’s paper will be found some
important foreign intelligence, brought to this port yester
day by tbe packet ship Europe, and received a', this office
exclusively. yesterday morning, by jverland express from
Coney laland. at 12 o’clock, in time to send it all over the
south and west, m advance of every other paper in New
York. This is tbe fourth brat that we have given tbe com
bined press ef New York, io one week. We aball nrw
lake breath for a few days, refresh oar spirits, and go to
work again by Saturday. Thia news is highly important in
several aspects. Another advance «f nearly a cent per
pound has taken place in couon, and great excitement pie
vails in tbe markets.
Fmm our private cnrresitondence, we also learn that
great excitement and great danger of outbreak ur revolution
exists in 1 rial and. immediately on the trial and conviction of
O'Connell, which conviction ia thought tn be certain. Sev
eral millions of Catholics are to bold public meetinga on
one and the aame day. all over the country, and general
consternatian prevails. On the part of the government a
great force of 30.000 men and artillery has been thrown into
Ireland, to preserve tbe peace of that Inland against revolu
tionary attempts. Parliament, which meets this month, is.
we learn, to take up the Irish question, and the Corn Law
question at once. On the latter point, we understand that
Sir Robert Peel has come to the resolution of proposing a
■eduction <>f the corn duties in favor if the United States,
and that Mr. Packenham was to leave Portsmouth on the
16th or 18th u:t. for ihiacouniry, with full instructions to
settle finally the Orego > Question on similar principles of
compromise st characterized tbe Maine Boundary Qaet-
t’on.
The present British n inistry are determined at every
ri V to preserve peace with tbe United States, and to extend
their commercial interenu'se at the same time.
In relation to France, our private accounts from London
ara peculiar and singular. Our correspondent saya that
vast secret combi ations exist in Faria and all over France,
-composed partly of republicans and partly of legiiunatist*.
to attempt a revolution there, as anon as the outbreak take*
place in Ireland—and that tbe agitators in both countries
perfectly understand each other. ’ It is also said that the
recent entente of the students at the Hotel Lafitte. was only
a flash pre.-eding the long roll of thunder. Whether this
be so or not tn the extent represented, we cannot tell at
this distance.but it is now nearly fifteen years since France
had a revolution, and that ia a long time for that lively peo
ple to be satisfied with such a dull and prosperous state of
things as they enjoy.
The next steamer, now six days out, with eighteen days
later news, will be quite anxiously expected—|>erhapa by
next Sunday or Monday we may bare Iter news by express
again overland. Wc U see
THREE DAYS EATER FRO.71 EUROPE.
REPORTED RISE IN THE COTTON MARKET.
Tbe Mail yesterday was not beyond Petersburg. One of
the passengers in the Steamer Vanderbilt, arrived yester
day. had possession or a New York Slip, containing ac
counts from Liverpool three days later, but be would not
permit our news collector a sight of it or tell iu rontents.
From a passenger, however. in the V. who had seen a New
York Slip, we learn that the Packet ship Europe arrived at
New York, from Liverpool, on Sunday last, bringing 3 days
later advices than those previously received, from whom
we learn that the Cotton Market had advanced jd. caring
tbe 3 days previous to the ship’s departure, with sales to
some considerable extent He could give no accurate in
formation aa to the quantity of Couon sold, having only has
tily looked at the accounts. Our informant came by the
Bay Route. We have thus given the report, nreciaely, as
we received it. By today's mail, we snail have all the
particulars.—Chat. Tran.

Don't forget the meeting at the Court House on
Thursday next. If you value the honor, glory,
and welfare of your counuy—if you wish to hand
down to posterity its sacred Constitution, pure and
undefiled, be present, and contribute your mite in
preserviug from the ambitious grasp, and baneful
elfects of W’liiggery, what is most dear to yourself,
your children, your country and your God! Re
member that the era is more appropriate to form
an association for that purpose than the birth-day
of him, by whose agency, we are mainly indebted
for our independence as a nation. Let every citi
zen reflect that his duty is obligatory to preserve
intact and inviolate, the Constitution of the country
—that rich heritage of our revolutionary fathers.
Let’ no Democrat neglect so fit an occasion to
evince to the wnrltl his inflexible adherence to the
good old principles of Jefferson, Jackson, and the
fathers of the Republican creed—ami their unal

The Clay Club of this city, have taken a spa
cious room under the Central Hotel, and it is now
being fitted up for the purpose of holding their
meetings therein. They have been scrubbing and
whitewashing there for several days past, and evi
dently intend to make a decent display, so far at
least ns paint and whitewash i9 concerned. They
will find, however, much labor and material requi
site to hide from the mind's eye of the people, cer
tain dark spot* on the political escutcheon of their
Chief and his principal followers. We congratu
late the Club on the ptoximity of their place of ren
dezvous to the Bar Rooms of our worthy friends,
Newcomb and Craft.
P. S.—We presume the Club-room will shortly
be dedicated to that “same old coon,” by spee

TOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH.
It is gratifying to perceive the spirit of unanimi
ty which now pervades the Democratic party. A
general determination is felt and expressed, to sa
crifice every thiug for the good of the cause and
country. Heretofore considerations which need
not now be adverted to have prevented a united
effoit on the part of the Democracy of Georgia.
Hence ibe defeats which the paity sustained last
year.—We congratulate our friends that a brighter
sun \xrill soon shed its warming, cheering rays upon
us—“Now is the winter of oiir discontent made
glorious summer.” Thanks to the returning spirit of
patriotism, which has at last tgjight the Democra
tic party that division only begets defeat—and de
feat, disgrace and rain to the best interests of the
country. The perfect re-union, which has taken
place between the friends of Mr. Calhoun and Mr.
Van Buren, leaves Mr. flay without the slightest
chance of carrying the *riie of Georgia. The
scenes of 1825, too, are still fresh in the recollec
tion of our people, and we would respectfully sug
gest, to the friends of Mr. Clay, the propriety of a
change in his detlionering rode

BT THK IOWA. AT NEW TORK.
Extract of a letter received in this citv. dated
’•'HAVRE, Jan 8.
“ Our market bat improved, you will see by the annex
ed price current, but we see no disposition to follow the
rapid and to us. apparently wild advance in prices in the
cotton ports of America. Notwithstanding the large busi
ness done in England, the advances in prices is trifling, and
altogether on low cotton. We consider our prices above
those of Liverpool, and likely to remain so. from our mnnn
futures having relatively low stocks of importance are not
over large, but we do not expect that we sbnl< reach the
expectations of your sanguine speculators. We are with
ont much demand for the last three or four days, but a stea

Texas Prisoners in .Tlexico.
The nnfortanate Te tians, confined in the cold, dreary,
and unhealthy Castle ol'Perote, are rapidly being released
from ail earthly troubles—death ia liberating them from a

PEROTE. Jan. 13. 1844.
Leonidas Saunders, sf Montgomery county. Texas, died
last night of the prevailing epidemic. Mr. S. was Chief
Justice of that county when he left it, and I will venture to
My that no one can he found in his dtstrict more worthy to
fill the office—in short, he was a well informed, amiable
gentleman. There are many others yet sick in the hospital,
many of them dangerously. Yours. &c.
Is there no way—can nothing be done for these unfortu
nate men ? The Mexican Government may hire the right
to retain, at least a portion of them, prisoners of war; but it
is contrary tn the usages of civilized natinns to incarcera’e
those, whom the fortune* oi war tnay have thrown into their
hands, in a place where the climate, combined with scanti
ness of raiment, must anon bring premature disease and

“Masonic Signal.”
Wc li^ve seen one or two numbers of the above
periodical, published by our friend and entetnpora-
tv, IIanLkiter, at Madison, Ga. Thotiflli we
belong in n,\lodge, nnd are partial to no secret So
cieties, no matter by what name they may be call
ed, the Signal appears to be an agreeable paper,
| and may exert a healthful moral influence upon
society. As n cheap Miscellaneous, family news
paper, we think we mav commend it to our friend*.
But, as it cannot divulge the secrets (?) of Free
Masonry, we do not perceive the advantages it will
render tbe uninitiated, tbe fraternity, or the public,
over any other neutral miscellaneous paper.
The fact is. Free Masonry has become (in the
language of Mr. Webster,) an obsolete idea. Se
cret Associations are not the order of the day : the
spirit of the age calls for libht—light—light.—
Freedom of opinion, freedom of discussion, and no

The Jerusalem Artichoke,
(A NEW ARTICLE.)
T HE cultivation of this root is extending rapidly in Ten
nessee and the Cherokee conntry in Georgia ; and is
found, upon trial, »o afford more nutritive matter to the acre
for fattening hoes, titan any vegetable yet discovered. It is
planted and cultivated like corn, requiring but two plough;
ings, and will produce from four to eight hundred bushels
per acre—as an examination at this lime, of the fields of
John Beavers, in Chattooga : Col. A. T. Hardin, in Floyd;
nnd John Leak, on the Hightower in Cass county, will fully
prove. The produce of one acre will keep in good plight
sixteen head of hog-j from the 1st of October to 1st April.
They con be had at all of the above places, at 50 cents
per bushel; and maybe planted fromthe 1st of March to the
I5th ol April, at the rate of five bushels per acre.
