England of the measures resorted to by the British ministry, for authorising the Bank to extend its means of assistance to the mercantile community, hare been mainly instrumental in restoring confi dence and giving an impulse to the transactions, as well as imparting more firmness to holders. But the buying has been, upon the whole, rather more moderate than might perhaps have been anticipat «J Ifom the above intelligence, owing to lh • small quantity of Cotton ollered, and the sales have been restricted to the immediate necessities of the trade; prices however have recovered some of the lost ground, and are nowf.2 a3 higher for American de* •rriptions, VV hether the remedy adopted by the English government will effectually remove the Weight that has so long pressed upon the commer cial world, seems in the opinion of many persons to be a matter of doubt, and considered merely as of temporary benefit; the measure has however gen erally speaking, been greeted with evident symp toms of satisfaction, and the immediate con equen ces have been ofa most salutary character. Our latest adviced from th<- U. S. are to 10th inst., but their contents were devoid of anything peculiarly I interesting to our market,which is at present chiefly under the influence of the situa.im of things on the I other side ofihe channel. “ I*. S.—Since writing the above, wc have re- j eeived New York dales to the 15th inst., by the Hibernia steamer, the tenor of which, coupled with the news of a reaction in England, has produced I an unfavorable effect in our market, and led to a ; decline of fully f. 2 on the quotations of our annex ed Price-Current. “ The following were the sales effected, viz ; 2,870 bales New Orleans F. 73. 97.30 1,530 “ Mobile “ 71. 88.— I, “ Upland « 73. 85. 700 44 N.

The market has been exceedingly dull during the week, and the operations very limited, though within the range of the quotations of last week.— The receipt ot the Acadia’s accounts by Telegraph yesterday morning, has put a stop to all business.— i’hc accounts appear worse than any before re ceived, although they are very confused, owing to their rapid transmission by Telegraph.

Cleared in the same time 5241 bales—making an addition to stock of 8654 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all on shipboard not cleared on the 19th inst., a stock of 127,699 bales. At the time of making up our last report, it was confidently asserted, and generally credited, that the European advices per steamship Washington, at New York, from Liverpool, fiv«* days later than those brought by the Caledonia, were in by private express. This intelligence, coming so immediately upon the very gloomy accounts brought by the Caledonia, so completely unsettled our market that nothing like accurate quotations could be ar rived at; and, as we remarked at the time, some sales were reported at rates considerably less than the figures we gave. On Friday more'full parti culars of the Washington’s accounts were received. The rather less gloomy complexion of the foreign accounts, and the fact that the rather large sales of Wednesday had relieved the market of most of the important lists offering, caused holders to as sume a firmer position on Thursday, and the sales of that day were confined to some 2000 bales, the market clo at a further improvement of an | a £ ol a cent. V aster day there was an increased activity in the inquiry, anil sales to a large extent could probably have been effected ; but the mode rate supply offering, and the still highre rates x claimed by holders, prevented buyers from opera ting to the extent desired, though the transactions amounted to about 4600 bales; and the prices paid at the close showed an advance of fully § of a cent from the lowest point on Wednesday morning.— We have therefore altered our quotations to con form as nearly as possible to this improvement, 1 though it must again be remembered that in the very unsettled state of the market, and under cir cumstances of great discrepancy in the views and representation of brokers in regard to classification, it is quite impossible to arrive at strict accuracy in our figures. The business has been done almost exclusively in the qualities ranging from Low Mid dling to Middling Fair, the higher grades being nominal, as for some time past, though hold at ma terially advanced rates. Total sales of the week sum up 20,700 bales, of which 15,500 bales were disposed of during the past three days, taken most ly for England and the North, with some parcels for France and Spain and the, Continent.

M.-There is a fair demand for Flour at a slight advance, but the ope rations have been light on account of prices being unsettled. About 2,000 bbls. Genesee flour were •old at $6 18|, most holders demanding higher rates. Western and Oswego are held at $6 12, and Southern nominally at $6 37^. The market for wheat is unsettled, and buyers and sellers cannot agree as to prices. Corn is also unsettled, though about 10,000 bu shels were sold to-day, at 72 cents for white, 73 for mixed, and 74 for yellow. Corn meal is held firm, and holders ask an ad rance, but no operations have taken place yet. Tbc Cotton market is much depressed. There were sale* to-day of about 400 bale# at a doeline of |r per pound. J.

RICE, (formerly of New York,) Tuner and Repairer of PIANO FORTES AND ORGANS, i Respectfully informs those owning Instruments, ’ that he is prepared to do anything required ia his 1 pro.ession. He has in his possession recommenda j lions from Mr. J. Chickering, Boston; Messrs. | Nunns A Clarke; Firth, Halil A Pond; Stoddart, Worcester A Duncan, New York, and many in the South. A few are here inserted. Boston, June 22, 1813. 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. j Augusta., (Ga.) March 9, 1811. | Mr. O. B. RICE having been engaged in this place for several months, in tuning and repairing Piano Fortes, 1 take pleasure in stating that he proves to be an excellent tuner and experienced repairer of Piano Fortes. J therefore recommend him with confidence to the patronage of the pub lic. ANTON IVERSEN. Columbia, Nov. 9,1843. I hereby certify, that Mr. U. B. RICE has been long known to me as a tuner of Piano Fortes, and I consider him one of the most competent to tune j and repair Pianos I have ever met with. I there fore confidently recommend him to those desiring Pianos tuned. I profess to have some knowledge in his line myself and speak understandinglv. SAMUEL WEIR. MR. RICE has spent some lime 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, j and can be restored in all Instruments that have been well made. His price generally for turning, re-leathering, Ac., N unns A Clarke’s. Chickering'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 If 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 j 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 Mr Chaffee’s Furniture Ware Rcom. Nov. 25 2J ELECTION FOR SURVEYOR.
