ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
15 DATS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The steamship Britannia, Capt. Harrison,
reached Boston at 10 o’clock this morning,
making the trip in 13 days, having left Liver
pool on the 4th July. The following intelli
gence was received here at 11 o’clock, by tele
graph.
Liverpool, 4th July, 11 A. M. —A signal
depression has taken place in the corn market
since the departure of the last steamer, attri
butable to many causes, but peculiarly to the
prevalence of fine weather, and the growing
steadiness of the money market. Prices have
become unprecedentedly low, and an unusual
depression is everywhere felt. At the closing
of our market yesterday P. M., the best West
ern Canal brands would not fetch more than
345. 6d. per bbh, and in some few instances it
reached 355; but the transactions were gener
ally of a retail character, and did not indicate
the slightest speculative disposition. Large
quantities were sold at 345. per bbh, but that
is a price which could not be realized for any
considerable quantity to-day. Richmond and
A lexandria are quoted at 335. per bbh; Phila
delphia and Baltimore 325.; Xcw Orleans and
Ohio 315., and U. S. and Canada flour from
28s. to 295. per bbh Indian corn has likewise
suffered a material depression, and cannot be
quoted higher than 445. Gd. to 455. per quar
ter. Inferior sound ranges from 325. upwards.
Indian meal sold at 20s. to 21s. per bbh of 19G
lbs.
The rumors of the potato disease are exceed- ;
ingly conflicting and not reliable, and the
growing crops are in a state of the utmost for
wardness; the w'eather could scarcely be more
favorable than it is.
Cotton. —This market has been affected in ,
an inverse ratio, and shows a state of decided
improvement; the advance is | pence per lb.
since the last steamer. Our latest quotations
are for upland and Mobile 71 per lb. The Am
erican descriptions sold this week comprised
16,000 Upland at 6ja7i|; 25,060 Orleans at s§a
-8J; 10,530 Mobile and Alabama at 6|a7J, and j
280 Sea Island at 13a22d per lb; less activity
has been evinced to-day, though a large quan
tity offered, affording a turn in favor of buy
ers. The entire stock now in port is estimated
at about 143,000 bales; the American proportion
standing at 333,000, showing a material general
’decrease.
Provisions. —Prices have been generally
steady for the last fortnight, so that any impor
tant alteration cannot be named. Prime Mess
Beef is*worth per tierce from 90s - , to 955.
Ordinary, 80s. to 90s. Mess per bbh, 565. to
60s. Os old prime mess and mess prime, ho
quotation can be made. Pork stands at, for
prime mess new' per bbl. 70s to 765., old 65r.
to 705., prime 5Gs. to 625. Ilanis in pickle sell
freely, but there has been no market for dry.
Iron continues firm at the prices quoted by
the last steamer.
Financial.—The money market has consid
erably improved, And greater confidence has
been infused into every branch of trade; not j
only is a growing liberally evinced by the Bank
of England, but the provincial Banks gener
ally manifest a spirit of enlarged aecomnioda
tion. The paper of the%ank of England in
actual circulation, including 7 days and other
post bills, decreased last week from £18,815,-
hSI to £18,741,490, being a difference of £73,-
561, while the increase of bullion was £14,808.
Arrivals of Packets.—The Royal Mail
Steamer Hibernia arrived on the 28th nit.;
Henry Clay on the 24th; Marmion, 25th; St.
George, 25th; Cornelia, Oxford, and the Ann,
26tlr, Adriondack, 28th; Enterprise, 30th.—
The Washington steamer arrived at Bremen
bn the 19th. The Sheridan reached here on
the 20th. The Shenandoah, and Sir Isaac New
ton arrived at Havre On the 16th and 21st of
J une.
General Intelligence.—The Boguc Forts,
In the China Seas, were captured and complete
iy'dcstroyed by the British land and naval
forces on the 26th of April. 876 pieces of ar
tillery were seized and spiked in 36 hours-. •
Father Mathew has received A pension of
£3OO a year from the Crbwm Humor states
. that the Pope h;is declined to make him Bish
op ol Cork. Mr. O’Connell’s remains are
expected to arrive at Southampton on the 17th.
The Sarah Sands, steamer, put into Cork
in consequence of an accident to her machi
nery. She was expected to sail yesterday.
Jenny Lind continues to mark in the great
est possible Rtti action in London. She is engag
ed to sing fort wo nights in Scotland, Glas
gow and Edinburgh, at a remuneration of
£IOOO.
Fever is dreadfully prevalent in Liverpool.
It has made the most destructive havoc
amongst the Catholic cl#gy, eight having
been swept away in two months. The dis
temper was, in every instance, contracted by
them while visiting the sick.
Liverpool July 4.—11 A. M.—Large sales
of Western flour at 345. but that price cannot
be realized for any considerable quantity.—
Richmond and Alexandria at 33s per barrel:
Philadelphia and Baltimore 32s ; New' Orleans
and Ohio 81s; Canada sour flour 28 a 295. In
dian meal 20s to 21 per bbL India corn 44s
6d to 45 per quarter. Cotton has advaced |d
per lb, since last steamer.
{T rom the Richmond Enquirer.]
The Question Settled.
After an elaborate and anxious investigation,
by a Charlotte correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer, the ‘‘famous line,” embodied in a
toast given by Lieut. Governor Daniel at the
Webster dinner in this city, has been traced
to its origin. It occurs in a stanza of James
Montgomery's address to the Ocean, which is
quoted by the Enquirer, and reads as follows;
<‘Ah! why hath Jehovah, in forming the world,
With the waters divided the land,
His ramparts of rocks round the continent hurled,
And cradled the deep in his hand.
If man may transgress his eternal command;
And leap over the bounds of his birth
To ravage the uttermost earth,
And violate nations and realms that should be
Distinct as the billows, yet one as the seal ”

_ . . OBITUARY.
Died, in this town, on the 7th instant, at the resi
dence of Major John Pettes, Mrs. Harriet He
len, wife of Wm. Richard Pettes, of St. Marks,
Florida, and only daughter of the late Wm. J.
Danelly, of Macon, Ga., aged 13 years.
Also, on the 6th instant, her infant daughter.
It is but a few days since the voice of this young
bride from the distant South gladdened the pater
nal home of her husband. Yet silent lies her
tongue iu death, while her babe sleeps on her bosom
—in one common grave.
Little did even her own relatives sec of this new
member of their circle—yet had she so won the re
gard of all who had the pleasure of this brief ac
quaintance, that it is with many tears she is yield-
J edto tins mysterious Providence which bears her
to the tomb.
Bitter as was the thought of death in these happi
est moments of her existence, yet she meekly
yielded up her spirit to God, dying in peace—us the
witnesses of her last moments testify.
She lies not in a stranger’s grave, though borne
thither and wept over by strangers. She rests
with her kindred, loved and lamented by relatives,
and many here who shall know her only in the
glorious world above.
May ‘-'the God of all comfort” comfort and sus
tain her afflicted relatives at the South, who have
the deepest sympathy of many iu this community.

been general throughout the Cottfin region, andl will 1
have anything but a favorable effect on the grow

rpHE SUBSCRIBER would respectfully in-
JL form his friends and the public that he con
tinues to Manufacture In Augusta, his celebra
ted COTTON GINS, which although not so
highly puffed in news paper advertisements as some
others, do their work equally as good, if not better.
He is willing to put his Gins in comparison with
any others made in the United States, and will war
rant all Gins sent from his shop to work and wear
well.
As regards certificates, he could fill columns
with them, but w’ould prefer that those in want of
a good Gin should’call on him personally, or by let
ter, in which case satisfactory and numerous re
ferences can be given.
He has been engaged in the business some years,
and has never heard a complaint of work turned out
of his shop, from which circumstance be has come to
the conclusion that his Gins have given general
satisfaction, since their manufacture has been un
der his sole superintendence.
My terras for all New Gins are cash, before they
can leave the shop, or an approved endorsed note.
The price is Two Dollars per saw.
My shop is on Green street, two doors above the
Baptist Church, where all orders will be thankful
ly received and promptly attended to.

humbug to be tried; it is reality, and is also recom
mended by the most respectable families of your
State, certificates of which can be seen by apply
ing to either of the mentioned gentlemen, who have
the Medicine for sale, and will be found only at
their stores. I kindly ask you, for your own health
and benefit, to give this Medicine one and a fair
trial, and it is my candid opinion you will also re
commend it to your neighbour. Apply only to those
whose names arc annexed if you wish to obtain the
genuine.
A Glorious Triumph!!—Truth Needs no Boasting.
—Citizens of the United States, with pleasure 1
inform you of the great success of Humphreys’ Fe
ver and Ague Pills, throughout Georgia, South
Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Ac. Up to the Bth
of the present month I have had four hundred and
eighty-three cases of this distressing complaint, and
out of this large number I have failed only in four
cases, and I can safely say the failure is on their
own side, and not mine. This medicine is now
found in all parts of this and the adjoining States,
where it is recommended by the most respectable
families, and the best recommendation is, it is prov
| ing itself to be an infallible remedy for Fever and
Ague. It is my own discovery, and is one of the
best medicines ever invented for this dreadful dis
| ease—curing in twelve hours. Prepared and sold

arrive at Baltimore next morning at 5. A; M. Fare
from Petersburg to Baltimore supper included, $4.,
:1a the putting forth of the above Schedule,we have
been guided and admonished by the knowledge we
have of what other lines have already suffered in
giving the Traveller false information respecting
their Schedule time, and have, to the best of onr
knowledge and belief, made an average time of the
arrival and departure between Charleston and
Baltimore, by the Bay Route, for the last two
months, during which period there has not been a
single failure, by the Boat, to arrive at Baltimore
in time to take the Morning Train for Philadelphia
and the several Routes going North, South, Last,
and West.
The Paj r Company have been in existance up
ward of Twenty Years,and through this long period,
their Boats, built expresslly for the route, have sue*
cess fully run without loss of Life or Property*—
this fact alone should, and we believe will, be satis
factory to the Travelling Public, that the Chcsa
beak Bay Route is one of the safest in the whole
Union.
We were prepared and fully expected to meet
with strong opposition from the Monopoly Line, but
had hoped that the warfare would have been con
ducted in a business like and honorable way, and
that their Cards would have contained none of that
misrepresentation and false inuendoes with which
they are filled again. s) the Bay Line. However, we
care not, knowing that we have the cheapest and
most pleasant route; pledging ourvelves to convey
the travelling public by our schelduie,we are willing
to abide the issue and leave the result to their
choice.
Any further information will be cheerfully given
and tickets can be had, by application to the under*
signed at the Charleston Hotel.

survive much longer, under the intense agony in
which she was laboring, I had recourse to your in

two, was eutirely cured. 1 feel sure that lan in
