AUGUSTA. GEO.. TUESDAY MORNING, FUR. 16, 1817. o*We acknowledge the receipt of public documents from linn. R. B. Rbetf, Rnbt. Toombs, A. Burt, and T. Butler King, who will please accept our thanks. Tlic flails. Tiie Northern mul failed on Sunday af ternoon, and again last evening, i ness rc- j pcated failures, particularly when foreign ; advices are at hand and our merchants anx iously looking for their letters, are very an* novinc, and we hope the Postmaster Gene ral will look into the matter, and if found to be the result of negligence, exercise tne pro per corrective. 1 The Foreign Intelligence- Our columns this morning are principally taken up with the European intelligence brought by the Sarah Sands, arrived at jK?w York. Although not of special importance it is interesting, and will no doubt be gener ally read. The speeches of the Queen of England and of the King of the French, we j give in full, as also some remarks of mem bers of both branches of the British Parlia ment. The intelligence from Ireland is tru ly distressing, and some of the details given are of too horrid a character to bo placed in j our columns. The Sarah Sands brought to New York | fourteen passengers, 150,000 pounds sterling in specie and about 500 tons of fine goods as freight. The New York Herald says, the Cambria , will bring out nearly 1,000,000 pounds ster- 1 ling in specie. A very large amount bad been insured at Lloyd s when the Sarah Sands left, full two weeks before the Cam bria’s day of departure. The returns from the Bank of England for the week ending the 9th of January, gives the following results when compared with the return of the previous week:— Public Deposits £b, 860.031 Decrease J 01 .129.933 Ollier Deposits 9,783,767 Increase 1,880,898 Rest 3,329,048 Increase 59,191 On the other side of the account: — Gov’t Securities jC12,757,326 Decrease-C 69,036 Other securities 14,461.943 Decrease 606.8.2 Notes unemployed, 6,715,253 Decrease 1.511,839 The amount of notes in circulation,is JC2O,- 836,745, being an increase of JC305.G70; and the stock of bullion in both departments, is £ 14,308,022, showing a decrease of JCG43,- 550, when compared with the preceding re turn. The commercial intelligence is favorable bo far as grain and provisions are concerned .—but in regard to the great staple, Cotton, it is unfavorable. Below we give such com mercial intelligence as has come to hand. The editors of the Charleston Courier have been favored with the sight of letters from New York, received by the Southerner, dated 2 P. M. on Thursday. One letter says: “the Sarah Sands brings Liverpool dates to the 20;h ulr., quoting Cot ton at a decline of This was quite un expected to Cotton holders. The news has also caused a decline in the New York mar ket of about one cent.” Another letter, of lha same date, stales that Fair Uplands were sold the preceding i day, (Wednesday) at 12j}, but on Thursday the decline was considered to boos a cent. Rice was in good demand. [by THE SARAH SANDS AT NEW YORK.] Liverpool Cotton Market, for Week end ing Jan. B. The result of slock taking as repost ed in our annual statement of imports. &r. as well as the weekly circular published on Thursday last, was to cause additional confidence in the article, and hrin;: forward a considerable speculative de mand. Prices also were raised from our quota tions of the 31st about id per lb. Since that time, an I especially during the last three days, tlie mar ket lias gradually assumed a quieter and more set tled appearance; speculation, perhaps, a little checked by the upward tendency of corn and pro visions, lias in a great measure subsided; and as the consuming buyers have a little more time to look about ami select their various qualifies, they are obtaining about id concession in price. Our quotations, therefore, will stand now about id higher than tiie scale published on the 3 at, and an id lower than at. the < lose of hist week. The sales of to-day are estimated at 7000 bales. 3t)O0 being on speculation. 31,100 American. 1259 Per nams. 1750 Jurats, 400 Egyptian, and 100 Maran ham have been taken this week on speculation; • aml 359 American and 200 Mira'.s for export. — bales for the week are 53.039 bales. Another Report.—ln the first few days of the ; present year speculators purchased to a large ex tent, but tiie demand from tiie trade was only rno- i derate, and an advance of fully Id per lb wasgen crally obtained for American; during tiie last day or two, limve'er. speculators have suspended their i operation®, and this advance has not been main tained. the quotations being now nearly on a par with tboseolS st Dec. Speculators have taken 31.000 American, 1250 Peruams, 100 Maranham. 400 Egyptian and 1759 Surat, and exporters 350 American and 200 Surat, bales for the week amount t 053.03 ‘hales. For Week Ending Jan. 15.—Almost to the very hour, the Boston steamer Cambria came in, ■ ns expected on Wednesday evening. On Thurs- j day, yesterday morning, therefore, everyone was i anxious l<> learn tlie latest opinions and estimates ! on the all-interesting question—t be crop—whet her ! previous reports received confirm ition or other- j wise, and if there was anv qualification of any kind on the subject. A full examination of herac- | counts leads to the conclusion that the crop cannot, 1 at any rale, prove more than a moderate one; that the number of parties e-timaling the crop as high as two millions is on the decrease, and the number of those rating it under 1,91 0 GiO on lhe increase. From the various correspondence we have seen, ami taking into account the season of the year to which vve have arrived, we think the public may safely conclude that the crop of the United States will not material! \4*x ceed two millions of bales, with a reasonable probability that it w ill fall short of that quantity. This important point, and to that extent, being mainly settled in our minds, we look with no little anxiety to the state of things at home and abroad as affecting the consumption. No one can doubt, that the advanced rales from 4d to Td are calculated to contract the consumption; that they have already done solo some extent is un questionable. Another point furthering the same end. in a strong degree, is the advancing price of provisions throughout both this country and the continent, with apprehensions in some quarters of absolute famine, which will absorb a vast amount of the labor of Europe, leaving hut little for any i one beyond the provision merchant; perhaps dis- | turhing the monetary establishments and commer cial exchanges every where. Considerations of j this kind may well give a more deliberate and cautious character to the speculative movements j in our staple article; indeed, were it not for mat ter of this kind bearing upon us, it seems inevita ble that prices of raw cetton must advance to a point giving a more full encouragement to produc tion, and a far more decided check than has yet been given to the rate of consnmpton. This week prices are without change. Before the steamer’s arrival we were dull and flat; since that time addi tional confidence prevails, and we clo-ed with our quotations the same as on Friday last. 12,600 American, 200 Pernarns. and 1600 Surats have been taken on speculation, and 1350 American and SCH) Suart for export. Sates to-day 4 to 5900 j bales, 20UU being on speculation, principally new j Howeds. Sales of the week amount to 29,250 bales. Another Report.—The demand in the early part of the week v,as moderate, and prices ol A- j merman gave way fully »c per lb; but since the arrival of the steamer, on Wednesday, with rather lower cstimat .-s of»-n»p, the speculative enquiry has revived, and with greater firmness on the part of holders, the market has nearly recovered the de- j dine a.i*oV3 noticed. Speculators have taken l 12.690 American, 2'KJ Pernambuco, and ICOJ Sn- ; rats. 200 Sea Eland and 300 stained, are de- j t-lared for auction on Friday next. Sales of the I week 29.200 hales. Jan. 16, 18 and 19.—The market since our last weekly report has been very quiet, and prices have receded from our quotations of that day i about id per 1,9. The sales are limited in extent, and mostly all to tiie trade, ti"t more titan 8000 | hales having changed hands duiing the three days noticed above. f Correspondence of the Tribune .] LIVERPOOL, (Tuesday,) Jan. .9—Colton. —Up to the I Jili inst. the demand was very mod- | erate, and prices of American had receded fully i an id p-r lb ; but consequent on the arrival of the j Cambria, with rather lower estimates of crop, s peculators again appeared upon the market, and the decline noted was in a gn at measure recov ered. holders at present being firm, and ilie mar- j ket rep tried quiet.

Havre Cotton Market, Jan. 7.—Throughout the past week there has been a considerable amend- | ment in the situation of our market, ow ing to the spirited character of the intelligence from tiie oth er side of I he channel, and also to the tenor of the advices of the I6ih nit. from tiie United States, j received by the Caledonia steamer. The accounts front Liverpool have, however, chiefly contribn- ' ted to the speculative feeling that has predotnina- i ted here, which has been uninterruptedly brisk, j and produced an advance of 5f toGf on nearly all I description of American cottons. Buyers have j again directed their attention to cargoes for deli very, and the transactions have been mostly in New Orleans, on the basis 105 f to i()6f fur our or dinary. At the present high rates, however, deal ers for tiie trade refrain from co uing forward free ly; the stock of the raw material being held by speculators, who are rather disposed to raise than lower their pretensions, will operate as a check upon extensive purchases fur tiie manufacturing districts until a change occuis; this will therefore account for the limited demand f>r consumption, 1 w hich has been moderate for some length of time, i and at thisdull period of the year is not 1 lively to | increase very material'y. January 15 —Up to the close of the past week I our market maintained the same degree of spirit | that distinguished it at tiie dale of our previous re- ■ port; specu'sition formed the prin upal feature in | the. operations, w hich again consisted cbi.-fly in cargoes deliverable at various periods up to the end of March. But since tiie opening of the present ; week, t lie intelligence from Liverpool being of a j dull character, has created a corresponding feeling j here, and within these two or three days specula- ' tors have displayed but little spirit, w itliout. how- | ever, manifesting any want of confidence, lint l>n sine-s upon tiie whole has assumed a heavy ap- \ pearance. Prices, although perhaps not quite so ! firm as previously, nevertheless maintain their ground, and our stock of cotton being so very small, I thy are not likely to he affected by the momenta- | ry falling ofifin the demand, unless the next ad vi- ! ces from die oilier Side of the channel should be of ; a gloomy tenor.

Corn r*. Cotton. A large cotton planter near Vicksburg (says the New Orleans Bulletin) asserts that he would prefer making corn at 25c. per bushel, to cotton at Bc. per ib.,and lias offer- i ed to plant his entire plantation in corn this year if he can contract for the same at 33c. per bushel,delivered on the plantation, or the bank of the river. A large corn operator of- I sered to contract at 30c. per bushel, but the parties did not ciose. This is worthy of re fcctf'j). Th 3 Ship Bfew York. The Charleston Courier of tlie Is'.h inst. says— ‘ This vessel, as we learn from letters j which have been kindly shewn us, arrived at Beaufort, (N. C.) on the 9ih inst., after being twelve days at sea, from the time site floated from the place where she went ashore. Be ing light. and leaking, and a’so encountering two gales of wind, it is fortunate that she succeeded in reaching that port safely. The siiip requiring some repairs will not come to tins port, but will proceed to New \urk as soon as possible. “The schr. Sylphie Ann arrived here yes terday, with about 1000 packages of nier -1 chandize of various descriptions, being part i of the cargo of the New York; and another i schooner, the Swallow, had been chartered ; at Wilmington, for the purpose of bringing on the balance of the goods.

Cleared in the 1 same time 1820 bales—making an addition to stuck I of 7030 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on tlieOth instant, a ! stock of 2 14.500 hales. On Monday rather more business was transact ed, a single list of 3100 hales having been taken, anil the total sales of the up 7000 hales, still at irregular prices, though a more reli able guide to its position than we have had for some days past was furbished in the large sale ab*ve m-olioiied. which was generally declared to t>e a good middling list, and the price paid was lie. Yesterday there was some enquiry, though no general demand prevailed, and the sales were mo'ily i» limited parcels, amounting in all To some 4500 hales, prices being an i to Jc more iu favor of buyers than on tlie day previous. Thus the sales of the past three clays sum up 15,200 bales, and our quota!! >ns, which have been arranged to conform as nearly as possible to the condition of the market at the close of yesterday, sliow a decline of fully I a y*» j r lb from the highest point reached immedi i ate after the receipt of the advices per Themis, ; j some two weeks since. This great ami rapid de j dine would appear to be partly attributable to the unusually heavy stock on sale, but mainly to the sodden advance in the rates of freight, which 1 were id for Liverpool on the arrival of the Themis. ! and now Id and rd have been paid—a difference j of iaicperlh.
