‘26th of October, issued the following notice:—
Resolved, That the minimum rate of dis
count on bills, not having more than 95 days
to run, be 8 per cent,; that advances be made
on bills of exchange, on stock exchequer, and
other approved securities, in sums of not less
than £2OOO, and for periods to be fixed by the
governors, at the rate of 8 per cent, per an
num.
This virtual abrogation of the bank act of
1844, must, of course, receive the assent of
Parliament, which is appointed to meet on the
1 Bth infct. In the mean time there are some
slight symptoms of returning confidence, with
out, however, any perceptible effect on the
produce markets, where prices general remain
without improvement.
Ihe overland mail, which was to leave Bom
bay on the Ist October, had not yet arrived.
T.ic announcement of the gove nment mea
sure caused an improved feeling in the Live?-
erpol Cotton Market and prices recovered
somewhat of their previous depression; but
the advices per Hibernia, received on the 23th
ttlt., being deemed more favorable for the crop,
a slight re-action occurred, and the market
has been dull since. In the manufacturing
districts, trade is much depressed, and the
number of operatives out of employ is, we
regret to say, increasing weekly. The com
trade is rather firmer, as, owing to the favora
ble season, the attention of farmers has boon
engrossed in the field, and the receipt of home
w'heat has been small in consequence. We
may now soon look, however, for abundant
supplies, and prices are likely, we think, to
continue moderate. Sweet barrel flour has
been more saleable of late, and we quote the
best Is dearer, that quality, however, is very
scarce, almost all in store being partially sour.
Indian corn commands little attention at pres
ent, but at moderate prices, it is likel y to go
freely into consumption in Ireland.
Liverpool Cotton Market-
Report for the week ending October 29.
We can scarcely say that there is any relief
to our market. The Government measure,
through the medium of the Bank of England,
was favorably received here, and a degree of
tclief was expected to arise from it, and, no
doubt, to some extent this has been the case.
Discounts are to be had at a price, and per
haps at as low a price, as under the extremely
deranged circumstances of the country could
reasonably be expected. On Tuesday, when ;
this measure became known, its influence was
favorably felt on our market, and on the fol
lowing day 5,000 to 6,000 bales were sold,
2,000 of the American being for export, at an
advance of |d to id from the most depressed
business of last week. Yesterday, however,
the demand was greatly moderated, and as the
Boston steamer arrived during the day, many
parties held off business until the letters were
delivered. The letters by this conveyance
lead to more favorable expectations as to the
extent of the coming crop, and under these ad
vices our market is more freely supplied with
Cotton, at about Jd above the prices of last
week. 3,000 American have been taken on
speculation, and 4,000 American and 130 Su
rat for export. The sales for the week amount
to 22,200 bales.— Geo. Holt % Co.
Another Report.
The seasonable intervention of Government,
which has been sought with so much anxious
solicitude, has been attended with the most
salutary effects. It has imparted confidence,
and has calmed the apprehensions w hich w ere
paralysing the energies of the whole mercan
tile community. The means, moreover, ap
pear to be well adapted to the end, for, whilst
the plan adopted opens to relief, it Im
poses conditions which are little calculated to
raise prices or to foster speculation. On the
first announcement of the measure on Tues
day, s me indisposition, it is true, was mani
fested to withdraw Cotton from sale; but the
market has since been fairly, indeed fully sup
plied, and at prices not more than Jd per lb.
above the last quotations, or |d per lb. above
the panic point of I i*t week. The chief fea
ture in the deman I has been the execution of
considerable orders for Export, which it is un
derstood have been in abeyance for some time,
owing to the difficulty in negotiating foreign
credit, now partially removed. The trade have
bought but sparingly, few' if any of the mills
having resumed work, and one important dis
trict being entirely at a stand, in consequence
of some difference in the matter of wages be
tween the masters and the men. The market,
upon the whole, closes heavily, which may be
Ascribed partly to the more favorable reports
received yesterday as to the extent of the
forthcoming crop, and pa tly to a feeling of.
disappointment at the amount of specie
brought by the steamer being so much less
than had been calculated upon. Speculators
have taken 30 r 9 Ame||pan, and Exporters
4000 American and 1-50 Surat. The sales for
the week are 22,300 bales.

MOBILE, Nov. 20, — Cotton.- —The receipts for
the week ending on Friday reached 5(351 bales and
the export 1964, as follows—loG2 to Antwerp.
; 333 to New York, 443 to Boston, and 120 to New
Orleans, leaving a stock on hand last evening of
» 34,050ba1es against 10,402 last year, and 3(3,289
same time in 18 45.
t It will be remembered that at the close of our
last report the accounts by’ the Caledonia steamer
of a very unfavorable nature, had just come to
hand, and all operations were immediately sus
pended—the rates f)i middling cotton the dav pre
• vious (Thursday) were given at 7.Ja7£c. On Salur-
L day buyers entered the market claiming a heavy
reduction, and only' 500 bales were sold at a de
, eline of about Ito l|c, middlings rating at On
. Monday the enquiry was rather better, but it was
' found at the close of the day that only some 400
bales had been disposed of, generally at the rates
! of the day previous. On Tuesday' telegraphic
! slips, containing five day's later advices from Liver
pool by tbe Washington, came to hand, reporting a
continuation of commercial disasters and a further
decline in the English cotton market. After the
delivery' of the mail one or two parties went into the
market and took about 900 bales, at * further de
cline of £c. On Wednesday the transactions were
not so large, amounting to only 600 bales, and it
‘ was found during the day' that holders were less
1 anxious to accept the prices offered. On Thurs
’ day a decidedly better feeling was manifested in
: the market, and buyers found it difficult to operate
at the prices paid the day' previous—and in fact,
t in some instances an advance of was obtained
—sales 409 bales. On Friday' there was a good
enquiry, but the indifference of some holders and
■ the obligation of purchasers to complete previous
contracts, enabled factors to realize a further ad
i vance,and upwards of 80C bales were disposed of. It
I that the anxiety of buyers to operate at
( these rates results from previous freight engage
ments which they are desirous of closing immedi
! ately, as our quotations will be found to be higher
than those ruling in New Orleans. The week’s
business sums up 3500 bales. The transactions
have been principally for the French and English
markets.

OLD PIANO FORTES,
MADE AS GOOD IN TONE AS WHEN NEW.
MR. O. B. RICE, (formerly of New York,)
Tuner and Repairer of
PIANO FORTES AND ORGANS,
Respectfully informs those owning Instruments,
that he is prepared to do anything required in his
profession. He has in his possession recommenda
tions from Mr. J. Checkering, Boston ; Messrs,
Nunns A Clarke; Firth, Hall & Pond; Stoddart,
Worcester & Duncan, New York, and many in the
South. A few are here inserted.
Boston, June 22, 1843.
I take great pleasure in recommending Mr. O. B,
RICE as a Tuner of Piano Fortes, and do not hesi
tate to say that he will do justice to any who may
wish to employ him. J. CHICKERING.
Augusta, (Ga.) March 9, 1841,
Mr. O. B. RICE having been engaged in this
place for several months, in tuning and repairing
Piano Fortes, I take pleasure in stating that he
proves to be an excellent tuner and experienced
repairer of Piano Fortes. 1 therefore recommend
him with confidence to the patronage of the pub
lic. ANTON IVERSEN.
Columbia, Nov. 9,1843.
I hereby certify, that Mr. O. B. RICE has been
long known to me as a tuner of Piano Fortes, and
I consider him one of the most competent to tufie
and repair Pianos I have ever met with. I there
fore confidently recommend him to those desiring
Pianos tuned. 1 profess to have some knowledge
in his line myself and speak understanding^.
SAMUEL WEIR.
MR. RICE has spent some time in the Factories
North, since 41, and has made several important
improvements in repairing Pianos and Organs, and
will give SIOO if any can be found to excel him in
tuning or repairing. He has abandoned the old
practice of softening and brushing the old leathers
on the hammers, and other parts of the machinery,
knowing that it gives better satisfaction to put on
new leathers and cloth throughout, where it is
needed. The tone in Pianos becomes harsh by use,
and can be restored in all Instruments that have
been well made.
His price generally for turning, re-leathering,
Ac., Nunns & Clarke’s. Chickeriug’s, and similar
Instruments, will be from 10 to 15 dollars. Old
English Pianos, from 15 to 20 dollars.
For Tuning in the City, Three Dollars.
I B any desire it, he will call and examine their
instruments, and make known the cost of putting
them in order.
Mr. R. intends staying in Augusta but a few days,
if he does not get employment. As he now resides
in Cokesbury, Abbeville District, S. C. he will
visit Augusta once or twice a year, if patronized.
Those, wishing to employ him, will please leave
their address at Mr. Grenville’s Book Store, or

DR. CHRISTIE S
MEDICAL GALVANISM,
AMONG the first thoughts suggested by the re
markable discoveries in Galvanism were t
those regarding its relations to Medical Science.— I
CAN If AID IN THE ALLEVIATION OF
DISEASE ! In replying to this question we an
swer it unhesitatingly in the affirmative. Galvan
ism has been found of the utmost advantage in
many diseases, and the beneficial results with
which its application has been followed in nume
rous and most afflicting cases, are described as ap
| parently miraculous. When every means has been
tried with ut success, and the last lingering ray of
Hope has departed, the wretched sufferer has
been restored through its influence to comparative
health, comfort and happiness. The fact is pecu
liarly applicable to those terrible and prevalent
disorders called Nervous Complaints, in which me
dicine is of so feeble avail—being often entirely
useless—as in cases of confirmed Dyspepsia. Para
i lysis, Tic Doloreaux, Bronchitis, Chronic Rheuma
tism, Fervous Headache, and many others. In all
these disorders DR. CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC
RINGS, BELTS, NECKLACES, BRACELETS,
See. are of immediate and certain benefit
Qjt’Uaution.— The great celebrity and success 1
of Dr. Christie’s Galvanic and Magnetic Curatives, !
has caused them to be counterfeited by unprinci- j
pled persons. To protect the public against de- |
ception there is but ONE AUTHORIZED ■
