AUGUSTA MARKET.
COTTON. The receipts of Cottou at Augus-
ta and Hamburg, during the months of Septem
ber and October, reached 51,187 bales, against
48,644 bales during the same months last year;
the receipts in September were 7,280 bales,
against 14,204 bales last year, and in October
43,988 bales, against 34.442 last year, showing
an increase of receipts, so far this year, ol 2,621
bales. The slock on haud on the Ist of No
vember “-as 33,018 bales, against 30,241 at the
same date last year.
Our market for Cotton opened on Tuesday
with a heavy demand, which continued on Wed
nesday and Thursday, and very full prices were
paid. On Friday and Saturday the business was
more limited, as both holders aud buyers prefer
red waiting the steamer’s news, then due, ere
they operated to any extent. Fine Cotton con
tinued in good request all the week, aud as high
as 11 cents was paid for several small parcels of
very choice Cotton. At the latter end of the
week there was considerable difficulty in selling
the common qualities, as holders were not willing
to put them down sufficiently low to induce buy
ers to take them. The accounts of the Hibernia
being at hand on yesterday, the business of the
day was moderate, and the sales were to a limit
ed extent at a decline of full J a 1 of a cent on
all grades. The sales of the week reached 5,535
at the following rates: 9atß} ; 1 at 8} ;71 at 9;
8 at 9J ; 10 at 9} ; 49 at 94 ; 23 at 9g ; 278 at
9} ; 35 at 9} ; 509 at 10; 9 at 10 1-16 ; 572 at
104; 1514«tl01; 146 at 195-16; 811 atlOJ;
64 at 10 7-16 ; 977 at 104 ! 34 at 10 9-16; 183
at 10J ; 105 at 10}; and 27 bales at 11 cents.
We omit quotations, as We do not consider the
market sufficiently settled to give them with any
accuracy. The receipts since the Ist inst. have
been very heavy, and the shipments, both by the
river and rail road, very large.
The continued prevalence of good weather for
the gathering and maturing of the crop, defies
any calculation as to what the extent of the crop
may reach; many believing that the very late
season will give a very considerable increase up
on all former calculations. We have had no kill
ing frost in our Cotton section of the State, and
the weather now gives but little indication of any
' such a visitation, and should it keep off much
louger, must greatly add to the crop through this
section of the State.
DRYGOODS, HARDWARE, Ac.—Quite
a heavy business continues to be done by all our
wholesale dealers, and as their stocks are large,
country merchants will find it to their interest to
visit our market ere they make their puichases.
_ GROCERIES. —We have nothing to report
,n our Grocery market. Goods of all kinds
are plem'Y- 8 » d our stocks were never larger
Sugars are abundant and low. Coffee is sold at
10 cents, but freely, as holders are not disposed
to sell out at th*l price, as they cannot purchase
it in any other market unless at higher prices—
the supply of Molasses, and all kinds of domestic
liquors* in good.
BAGGING AND BALE ROPE—The de
mand still continues heavy for all kinds of Bag
ging and Bale Rope, and the supply in market is
large—prices remain unchanged.
SALT.—The supply in store is good, and we
notice the receipt in Savannah of about 20,000
bushels and 1,500 sacks. Prices remain at
$1 40 a BLSO for sack, and 40 a 45c- for bulk ;
no sales by the quantity since our last report.
BACON.—There has been quite a scarcity of
good sides until within a few days, when several
lots have been received; it still sells at 7c. by the
quantity for sides, and Bc. by retail; several small
lots of good hams have been received and sold at
llets. There Will baa good demand for Baeon
WI long as the weather remains warm.
R.—No change in our market for flour
itM Cmntn"rt.mr have
been sosrf *>y the quantity al #6} a #6} per bbl.,
Canal §7 »)’ the quantity, and B sß at retail.
Extra Branas 8 P« r b “" el -
DOMESTIC GOODS.—The supply in mar
ket is good. The Augusta Manufacturing Com
pany are selling freely but still have a supply on
hand ; Yarns are abundant at 14 cents, aud Os
nabttrgs can be boug’.'t from 8} to 9 cents.
FREIGHTS.—The riW keep* in food order
and the boats are doing a heavy business both in
up and down freights ; the freight o's cotton is 50c.
per bale to Savannah, and $1 to Charleston.
Cotton.—The sales of cotton in New York
on Saturday reached 1000 bales ; fair oplands
were quoted at 11}. The market closed firm.
The sales of the week were 13,000 bales.
In Charleston— On Saturday last the sales
we. r e b*lea, at extremes ranging from 9
to Ilk conts.
InSa v 4.«nah —On Thursday last the sales
were 1704 at lO£ to 11 cents; fair to
good fair lO£ J° 11 cents. On Friday, the
market was m<?rfi animated; and the sales
reached 2873 bales/ * from 91 •« 11 cents—
more than four-fifth* 4>f i?* were made
above 10} cents.
|By Telegraph to the Charleston Courier.]
New Orleans, Oct. 30.—Colton, yesterday,
was brisk, and the sales reached 5,50(J bales,
at }c. advance since the receipt of the Europa 8
news, and prices fully sustained. Fair 10} td
10}. Rio Coffee has advanced, 10} now
asked. Whiskey has declined to 21ct«.
Washington, Oct. 31.—P. M.—The an
nouncement of Mr. Forward’s appointment
vice Mr. Gillet.it seems, was premature.
Mr. Young has not been appointed Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury, as heretofore
reported.
Washington, Oct. 31.—Official Appoint
ments. —John C. Clark, First Auditor, to be
Solicitor of the Treasury, vice C. Giliet, re
moved.
Thomas L. Smith, formerly Register, to be
First Auditor, in the place of Mr. Clark, ap
pointed Solicitor.
Almost a Fight.—A couple of young gen
iletuen like to have had a serious difficulty,
thia morning, as they met, in St. Clair Street,
near the residence of Capt. Schley. One
drew his pistol and the other tore off one of
the palings of the adjacent fence wherewith
to demolish his antagonist. The parties were
however separated befora any damage was
done. —[Muscogee Deni, latinst.
Shi. v Cabal through Nicaragua.—The
* route through the State of Nicaragua, by which
a ship communication is to be opened between
the great oceans, is by the St. Juan river to
the Nicaragua Lake—through this lake into
the river thence into Lake Leon.
From the latter lake the way must be alto

(EFTlie Office of the Republic
has been removed to the Brick
Building first door below the
Engle and Phoenix Hotel.
EF Mr. Win. Clagget being no longer the
Agent of the Republic, we respectfully request
our subscribers and advertising friends, who
have waited to be called upon by Agents, to
transmit amounts dne us by mail.
EFWe invite the attention of our readers to
the advertising columns of this morning’s
paper.
Millinery and Fancy Goods.—Those in
want of articles in this line would do well to
call upon Mr. J. Mack, south-west corner of
Meeting and Hasell streets, Charleston. See
his advertisement in another column.
U* We would call attention to the notice of
a meeting Io be held next Thursday for the
formation of a Cotillon Club.
ITjOur readers will find in to day’s paper an
interesting article on the subject of the explo
sion of steam boilers.
The Legislature*
Intelligence was received in this city last
night, stating that the Legislature had been
organized, and the Hon. William B. Wofford
elected President es the Senate, and Mr. L. J. I
Glenn, Secretary.
Mr. John W. Anderson, of Chatham, was .
elected Speaker of the House.
Lecture of Professor Eve.
The Lecture, introductory to the commence- I
ment of the exercises of the Georgia Medi- i
cal College, was delivered yesterday, at the :
College Building, by Prof. Paul F. Eve. Wej
have seldom listened to any effort which afford
ed as much gratification as this Lecture did.:
The subjest was the position of the Medical |
profession to society. In his opening remarks i
the Professor made some beautiful allusions
to the exemption of our city, from cholera and
other disease, and thd cause which exists for
our gratitude to the Giver of all good.
We cannot undertake to follow the learned
Professor in all the ramifications of his subject,
which was lucidly arranged and eloquently
expounded. The importance, the utility of
the science of Medicine, was ably exhibited, I
The prejudices which to some extent exist ■
against the profession, were successfully and
justly exposed. The injustice which has bjen
and is yet done them was portrayed too plainly
not to be seen and admitted by every listener.
The Professor paid a handsome and eloquent
tribute to the self-sacrificing spirit of the true
and noble-hearted physician, in his efforts to
relieve the suffering of his fellow-creatures.
Many do not remember that physicians en
counter hardships, exposures at 1 dangers, du
ring a lifetime of practice, which call for as
much heroism as the soldier displays in storm
ing the ramparts of an enemy. They must
go into the midst of disease and pestilence,
whether Yellow Fever, Plague or Cholera, and
risk their lives for others: and often too, when
they have no hope or prospect of reward.—
Some noble instances of this heroic devotion
to the cause of human suffering were adduced.
The Professor interspersed his gruver
thoughts with some flashes of wit and anecdote
of a highly pleasing and attractive character.
We prMume that the lecture will be laid be
fore the public. It would be read with in
terest as well from its literary excellence »s
the importance of its subject matter.
The day was mild and beautiful, and the
Lecture Rootn crowded with both sexes.
It was gratifying to see so large a number
of students in attendance. Judging from the
number present we should think that the
prospects of the Institution were never so flat
tering before.
Rail Road Accident. —Loss or Life.—
About dusk on Saturday evening, the “ Pica
yune," with the passenger car for Bel Air
attached, came in collision with a wood train
on the Georgia Rail Road, just four miles from
the city. When they discovered each other,
an effort was made by the Engineers to avoid
a aollision, but as the wood train was on a
down grade, they did not succeed, and we re
gret to say that a lady, named Mrs. Smith, lin
ing some ten or twelve miles from the city,
who, in the fright, jumped out, was run over
and Instantly killed. The other passengers,
who remained in the car, were uninjured. The
“ Picayune ” and her tender sustained some
slight damage.— [Chronicle, of yesterday.
Fire. —A kitchen and bake oven belonging
to Mr. John VV. Zinn, cracker and cake baker,
in tl>e lower part of Broad street, were destroy
ed by fire oh Saturday morning last.
Floridian and Journal. —Mr. A. E. Max
well 2>as disposed of his interest in the above
paper, which is published at Tallahassee, to
Mr. Charles E. Dyke. It will hereafter be
published by Messrs. Hilton and Dyke. The
Floridian has heretofore been conducted with
much spirit and ability, and we doubt not will
continue to be under the present arrangement.
Editorial Change.—Mr. JohnH. Christy,
one of the proprietors and editors of the South
ern Whig, has sold his interest in the same to
Mr. Habersham J. Adams, and it will hereaf
ter be published by Messrs. Izmpkin and
Adams. We are pleased to see that Mr.
Christy will still be connected with the estab
lishment as editor of the Whig. He is a
sound and effective writer, and his freedom
from the cares of its business department will
enable him to add still more to the interest of
the Whig. We trust that the publishers may
meet with an ample reward.
New Post Offices—Conoochee, in Eman
uel county, Ga.; Ben. E. Brinson, postmaster.
Oakmttlgee, in Telfair county, Ga.; Duncan
Mcßea, postmaster.
IT By a recent arrangement with the rail
road companies, cotton can now be sent from
Chattanooga, Tenn., to Charleston, S. C., at
65 cents per hundred pounds. Tlie distance
is about 440 mites.
Pork Packing Business.—The Chatta
nooga Gazette of the 2d inst. says: We notice
that a number of the hands conn ected with
the Pork Packing Establishment of Messrs.
Armstead Turner, in this place, reached
here on Wednesday evening last, and will
soon be ready to engage in business. Messrs.
A. fit T. write that one or both of them will
leave Baltimore on the 10th inst., and will be
here in a few days thereafter, ready to cash
any amount of hogs and beeves that may be
offered.
Stabbing.—We regret to hear, that officer
Won. Ligon was stabbed several times with a
pen-knife, last evening by Peter Noland, in
the bouse of the latter, whither Mr. Ligon had
proceeded to serve a civil process. Though
the wounds are severe tiiey are not deemed
dangerous. Mr. Noland has not yet been

It may be that Ihave omitted to give some
of the above named gentlemen their proper

as it was by no means intended. It will not
do to set them all down as positively candid

who urge their claims with admirable tact

The Nashville Banner and Whig referring
to the Message of the Governor of Tennessee,
on the subject of the election of Judges by the
people, says:
“In regard to the present method of appoint
ing Judges and Attornies, his remarks have
much force. The evils of the present system
are certainly great ; no duties devolving upon
the Legislature being perhaps as onerous as
those of electing these officers. We believe
that in some States, the new method of electing
them by the people has been tried to advan
tage; and certainly, under the system now in
use, there is an immense waste ot time and of
die public money, whilst the advantages deriv
ed from it are not particularly apparent. The
peopled any section are good judges of the
integrity and ability ot legal practitioners, and
are not likely, even in the heat of parly poli
tics, to entrust their dearest rights and interests
with those who are not suited to protect them.
It is the duty of the Legislature to do some
thing, at least, to reform or alter the old meth
od, and we hope to see some action therefore
attempted, at least,
Tripoli.—The Cassville Standard of Nov.
2d. says : We are informed that there are ex
tensive beds of Tripoli in Cass county, some
of them of superior quality, lying immediately
on the S.ale Road.
Lithographic Stone.—We noticed (says
the Cassville Standard of the 2d inst.) some I
time since that a bed of this valuable stone '
had been discovered in Alabama. We have
since been told by a gentleman who onght to ’
know, that there is probably a large bed of it ■
in the vicinity of Rome. This will be a valu
able discovery, if it be really the Lithographic ;
stone, which haa hitherto been brought princi- j
pally from Europe.
Serious Steamboat Accident. —On Tues- \
day last, about sundown, one of the fines of
the steamer DeKalb, Capt. Moody, collapsed ■
at a place on the Savannah river, called Seven •
Points, about seventy miles below Augusta,’
injuring several persons and killing two negro I
men. Mr. Rahn, the Mate, was struck in the
face by some fragment and badly bruised and
cut ac’roM the nose. Mr. John Heary, 2d
Engineer, was badly scalded in the face and on
his arms. Mr. Chavers, deck hand, badly scald
ed on his side and shoulder, and it is feared
that he has inhaled some of the steams altoge
ther his case is a serious one. A negro man,
who was sitting on a bale of cotton, has not
been seen since, and is supposed tc have been
blown overboard and drowned. Another ne
gro fellow was so badly scalded tha. he died in
three hours, and was buried on the shore with
i appropriate religious services.
‘ Rev. Mr. Ross, of this city, and several oth
er gentlemen were passengers—none of whom
were injured. The injured persons suffered
considerably for the want of medical attend
ance, as no'« eould be procured for two days,
the T. S. Metcalf being the first boat that pas
, sed to take off the passengers. Mr. Ross had
' studied medicine some years since, and kindly
did what he could to relieve the sufferers.
The cause of the accident is supposed to be
the weakness of the work where the flue join
ed the boiler, as the Engineer had tried the
water, but a few minutes before, and it was
found all right.
Capt. Moody came down on the T. S. Met
calf, to get a boat to tow the DeKaib to the city.

Messrs. Editors: While reading an account
of the bursting of the boiler ol the “ Altoona,
near Bel Air, and the speedy subsequent death
of Mr. Richard E. Allen, the skillul and ex
perienced Engineer, my mind was retrospec
tively carried back in its reminiscence to
several ot the fatal accidents which have, from
time to time, occurred, in our bays and rivers,
from the bursting of boilers of steamboats, &c.
—such as the Ben. Franklin, at Mobile Bay ;
the steamers New Jersey, Ahna, and Excel
sior, in the harbor of New York, &c.
This first occurrence of boiler bursting »pon
any of our rail roads, is calculated to awaken
the fears of the travelling public, who prefer
this method of conveyance, either for them
selves or their produce, and it renders the pre
sent an appropriate time to discuss the cause,
and suggest the means for preventing such
disasters. It is the generally received opin
i ton that the expansion or pressure of steam is
j the sola cause of explosion in steam boilers;
: and hence the usual decision is, carelessness
I in the Engineer or person managing the steam
gauge.
The committee of gentlemen appointed by
Congress, some years since, to ascertain the
'cause of, and suggest or prepare a remedy
against such dire calamities, (perhaps more of
politicians than chemists,) opined that exces
sive expansion and pressure of steam was the
cause, and that a vigilant and thoroughly at
tentive Engineer, by special attention to the
gauge, could control the pressure, the sole
cause of the explosion, and avert the evil.
In this age of telegraphic intellectual im
provement, it will not be deemed presumption
for an humble citizen, filling no niche in the
temple of science or literary fame, to assert,
that, though steam may, by its expansion and
pressure, burst the boiler or vessel in which it
is confined, making egress through the weak
est part of the boiler, scalding and destroying
life, as well when escaping from a mere fis
sure or rent as when let loose by an explosion ;
yet that steam is not the explosive agent in
the bursting of boilers of steamboats and ves
sels. The phenomena attendant upon the ex
plosion of a boiler—as exhibited near the wharf
at Mobile, by the Ben. Franklin, as detailed to
me, soon after the fatal accident, by an intelli
gent gentleman while we stood near the wharf
—were not those of explosion from aqueous
particles, rendered aeriform, expansive and de
vellent by caloric. These phenomina exhibit
ed a power, quick, sudden and instantaneous,
with sharp detonation and shattered wreck,
similar, in all respects, to the explosion of gun
cotton, gunpowder, or ths chemist's Pulvis
Fulminalis. Such action such phenomina are
more consistent with the idea, that a portion of
the water in the boiler has been decomposed
by eontact with the white het metal of the
boiler. This is liable to occur from introduc
ing a fresh supply of water, oi by the oscilla
tion or rolling ol the boat in turning or leav
ing the wharf.
Every tyro in chemistry should know that
an analysis of water yields oxygen and hydro
gen—that iron, at a certain temperature, ab
sorbs oxygen—that hydrogen, when separated
from its combination in the water, is one of
the most expansible and inflammable products
of nature or art. The oxygen combining with,
and having formed a metallic oxide, with the
hot boiler, would leave the hydrogen free, and
to occupy a space equal to 1300 times the
bulk of the water—which js nearly double the
force of gunpowder. Or if we vary the postu
late, and suppose that both the elements of the
water remain free, there would then be J 986
times the bulk of the water which is about
three times the explosive force of gunpowder,
and this would be in addition to, and indepen
dent of, the force of steam already in the boiler.
ThP hydrogen from the one-hundreth part of
a cubic foot of water would be sufficient, if
suddenly set free by heat, to produce all the
fatal results enumerated after the explosion of
the Ben. Franklin, the New Jersey, the iEtna,
aud the Altoona.
The mere sciolist ip phpmistry who has wit
nessed, in the chemical officina or laboratory,
the decomposition of water, the oxidation of
trot), the transmission of hydrogen into the re
ceiver, the sudden and excessive inflation of
the recipient (a bladder) by the hydrogen, will,
I presume, subscribe to the plausibility of the
preceding suggestions. And should this view
of the subject be correct, he will, from having
witnessed the operations going on under high
heat in a reverberatory furnace, readily con
cede that the best preventive to these explo
sions and melancholy accidents, is to construct
the boiler, furnace and flues so that the flame
can never reach above the water; as the metal
of the boiler can never attain a white heat be
low the water, and less than a white heat will
not decompose it, or separate and set free the
hydrogen, the explosive and devellent agent.
1 presume the present object in allowing
flame to surround the boiler, is for economy
in fuel. Such an arrangement, communica
ting so much circumambient flame and rever
beratory heat, may explode the boiler w ith the
most careful Engineer.
While the boat is quiescent at the wharf,
the flame pent up is creating a white heat
above the water; when the boat starts, or rolls,
her oscillatory motions bring the water up the '
sides of the boiler, in contact with the white ;
hot metal, and the result is a decomposition of j
the water, a liberation of hydrogen gas, its ex- !
cessive expansion, and an ejfplosjop oyer which ,
the Engineer has no possible control; for, !
whether hi« safety valve is closed or open, the
same result occurs. The leaving open,or the ■
opening of the valve, could no more prevent .
lhe presspre frorp a decomposition of the wa
ter and an extrication and expansion of the I
hydrogen, than the open touch-hole of a gun
can vent the pressure in the barrel when a
charge of gunpowder is ignited and decom
posed within its calibre.
Should tlie above suggestions, by a subscri
ber, find a place in your paper, he will, in a
subsequent number, suggest a plan for pre
venting explosions of boilers, &c. &c.
Yours truly,

its most active and useful members, and the
Church of a devoted and exemplary Christian,
be it therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of brother
Shivers,this Ixidgo has sustained a loss which
time can never repair. Under this heavy and
afflictive stroke we bow with humble and rever
ent submission, believing that while his mem
bership in the Lodge below has ceased lorever,
that he is now a member and fellow worker in
that grand and celestial Lodge above, where
the Supreme Architect of the universe pre
sides, and that his immortal spirit is now in
the full fruition of those joys and rewards
which succeed a life well spent in the service
of our Divine Grand Master, whose supremacy
we acknowledge and before whom with rever
ence and adoration we humbly bow.
Resolved, That we mingle our tears and
sympathies with the bereaved friends of oui ,
departed brother, and in testimony of our re
gard and esteem for the deceased, the furni
ture and jewels of this Lodge be clothed in
mourning lor the space of three months, and
that each brother wear the usuul badge of
mourning on the left arm for the space of thir
ty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be signed by the Worshipful Master and Sc
cretary of the Lodge, and be forwarded to the
family of the deceased brother.
Resolved, That a copy of the same be also
transmitted to the Augusta papers requesting
their publication. JAMES CODY, Sec’y.

Elrction of U. S. Senator in Illinois.—
An election ior United States Senator recent
ly took place in the Illinois Legislature with
the following result:
General Shields 72—Cyrus Edwards 21.
In a previous caucus, Mr. Breese run Shields
very close. Shields, however, was nominat

Meeting of the Grand Lodge.—The
Macon Messenger of Wednesday says : " The
Grand Lodge of Ancient York Masons, com
menced its annual communication in this city
yesterday. Present, Grand Master William
C. Dawson, and a very full representation
of Delegates from the subordinate Lodges.—
We are pleased to leant, that the craft in
the State is now in a most flourishing condi
tion, numbering no less than one hundred and
ten Lodges, being an increase of thirty Lodges
during the last year.
St. Omer’s Encampment of Knights Tem
plars also convened on Monday evening, and
will probably be in session during the week.
The annual address before the Grand Lodge
will be delivered by Robert H. Griffin, Esq.,
of Savannah, on Thursday at 11 o’clock, in
the Presbyterian Church.
Bad News for Lawyers.—The Macon
Journal and Messenger says ; “We question
whether our “ brethren of the Bar,” have
ever experienced such a dearth of business in
their line as :t present prevails in Middle
Georgia. We understand that at the recent
Superior Court in Putnam, there was not a
single case returned—in Upson, perhaps only
one or two—in Jones and Twiggs, not over a
half dogen each—in Houston, only four or five
—in Monree less than a dozen—and in Bibb,
less than two score. From other counties we
Kve similar reports. No wonder that our
Democratic friends are preparing to scramble
lustily for the various Judgeships before the
next Legislature, for the man who proposes
to live by profession of the Law, the next
two years, will be very apt to find that he
will have to rely much more upon profession
than practice,
Improvement of Elk River.—The Chatta
nooga Gazette of the 2d inst. says: We under
stand that the Hull of a Boat is now building,
and will be completed in a few weeks, intend
ed to be of very light draught, and to rpn on
the Elk. The experiment will be successful,
and from this season may be dated the disco
very sis q netg 'territory, from which will
pour out for the southern markets a large
amount of Colton, Grain, &c. The comple
tion of the Rail Road to the Tennessee River,
will start up many such enterprises, and new
life, vigorous trade and prosperity will bless
the people and the country.
<ETIt is now thought, says the Chattanooga
Gazette, that the Tunnel will be completed by
the first or middle of December, by which
lime all the bridges or other worfc oil the road
will be completed, and the depot building at
this place ready to receive all freights.”
The first opening through the tunnel was
made on Wednesday last, 31st ult. On the
following day, October Ist, the occasion of the
opening of tlie tunnel was celebrated by a pro
cession, speeches, and a trip through from the
eastern to the western entrance of the tunnel.
New Steamers for Savannah.—A cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from
Philadelphia, says : An immense iron steam
boat, built at Morris’s foundry, Richmond, for a
cotton boat on the Savannah river, was tried
to-day, and performed creditably for a first ex
periment.

Ivory.—About 180 tons of ivory are used

j lying in Buffalo, an emigrant Dutch woman
fell overboard, and would have drowned but
for Capt. Willoughby, who bounded overboard,
• and brought her in safety to the shore. The
gratified husband drew out a sovereign and of

Arrival of the Hiberuia.
' A few commercial items of news by the
j steamer Hiberuia, was telegraphed to tins city
I on Sunday last. "’She brings Liverpool dates
to the 20th ult.
The condition of the Liverpool market for
the week preceding the sailing of the Hiber
nia, is stated to have been very excited. In
the early part of the week the market was ac
tive, but the Cambria’s new* had caused a
slight decline, or a subdued feeling in the*mar
ket, and the sales in the latter part of the week
showed a falling off in operations, and decline
in prices. No quotations were received.
The polilical news, which was looked for
with much interest, in consequence of the an
ticipated troubles in Europe, is announced to
be unimportant.
In business affairs, generally, there was no
change of importance.
Arrival of the Hiberuia.
We a’re indebted to the telegraphic corres
pondence of the Constitutionalist for the fol
lowing news by the Hibernia. The first news
which came forward representing a decline in
Cotton, has proved untrue:
Cottou advanced in pricu!

day was very firm, which caused increased con
fidence in Liverpool, when another rise look
place,and transactions in American descrip
tions were effected at half-pence advance on
the prices of the previous Saturday.
The sales of the week ending Friday, reach
ed 191,209 bales, of which speculators took
65,620, Exporters 1170, and Spinners 64,800.
The stock on hand is estimated at 437,000,
against 530,000 bales last year.
The Committee's quotations are for Fair Up
lands and Mobile 6} to 6f.
In Wheat, Corn and Flour there is no
change of consequence, and quotations are
about as per Europa.

The latest news, of general importance in
the best informed circles, is that Russia will
not make war on account of Turkey’s refus d
to deliver up the Hungarian refugees.
They were still at Widden. Bern, Dem
brinski,and several others had embraced the
Ishlamism, and joined the Turkish army.
M. Theirs, it is said, came out in a speech
in the French Assembly on Roman aflairs.
His position is decidedly conservative.
ANOTHER DESPATCH.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER AT NEW YORK.
Baltimore, Nov. 5—6 P. M.
The steamer Hibernia arrived at New York

SALE OF LOTS IN THE TOWN OF
» (IGLETIIORPE.
TH E undersigned, being the owner of about
600 acres of Laud, Waev of Flint river, on
which the South-Western Rail road will, for ths
preae it, and perhaps for many years to come, ter
minate, will soon have it surveyed and divided into
Lots of suitable size for business and private resi
dences, and will offer them for sale, at public out
cry on the premises, on the 16TH DAY OF
JANUARY NEXT.
The site of the contemplated town is in Macon
county, about two miles above Traveller’s Rest,
upon high, dry and elevated pine land, with good
pure water, free from lime. On the West side
ol the River there is but a narrow strip of second
low ground, entirely free from marshes and la
goons.
The plan of the town will soon be lithographed
and copies distributed in the principal towns and
citiesofthe State, for inspection by those who
may wish to purchase lots. An- act of incorpo
ration, under the name of the town of Oglethorpe,
will be applied lor at the approaching session of
the Legislature. It is now certain that the Rail
road will be completed to that point in time for
the crop of ICSO The grading is progree ng
rapidly, and the iron for the Road as far as Og.o
thorpe is contracted for, to be delivered in Savan
nah next January.
The attention of capitalists, aud of all w
may wish to share in the business which w
spring up in a place where at least 70,000 bales of
cotton will be sold annually, is respectfully invit
ed to the sale of the lots as altove specified. Au
inspection of the map will show that it is the point
whore the business of the great cotton-growing
section of Georgia will concentrate. It will be a
trade worth contending for. Not only will the
counties West of Flint River now furnish annual
ly 70,009 bales of cotton to be shit ped from Ogle,
thorpe, but the opening of a Rail road to that
point will bring that important and growing sec
tion of Georgia into close proximity to a market
for their produce, and will be the means of bring
ing Into cultivation thousands of acres of land
now lying idle, and thus the quantity of cottou
produced there will be greatly increased.
The terms of the sale will be liberal, being one
fourth cash, and the remainder in two equal in
stalment? of one and two years. The titles will
be indisputable. I huye a complete, unbroken
chain of titles, frem the State down to mvself.
