these, butjjthey may be estimated at something,
(and I would be disposed to place tolerable large
figures to each.) and they, with the amount of
transit duties remitted our merchants in the
shape of bridge toll for merchandize received and
produce shipped, would go far to reduce the
nominal loss which the city treasury would sus
tain in its tariff on drays and wagons, to and from
the Rail Road at Hamburg and Augusta.
Let us, then, reduce the whole, so far as
we can, to figures, and see how we should
stand; and when such blanks as I have are
filled up by those who can and will fairly
estimate them, are added in, see if it may
not be to our interest to do now, what may
be done hereafter when we will not be parties
to represent such interests—or, at any rate, when
we will not have the power to name and de
mand conditions.
The lower Bridge cost the City ... SIOO,OOO
The nett receipts are now equivalent to an inter
est on $300,000; we will therefore estimate it
at that value, 300,000
We are offered for the right of passage per Rail
Road, 100,000
Tue tolls will, by this means, be reduced to
about SB,OOO, which is equal to - - 100.000
Our merchants receive in the shape of bridge
tolls remitted by having their goods landed
in Augusta, at least, - - - - - IS 000
We demand, besides this, a free and unobstruct
ed passage for the upper Bridge (which set
tles the quarrel between the upper and lower
parts of the city, - $
We demand a cancellation, by purchase or oth
erwise. of the charter of Henry Shultz and
John McKinne, and a renewal of our charter
by the Legislature of South Carolina, so that
we may be freed from the annoyance of said
parties, , $
We receive, in the settlement of these vexed
questions, amounts which, by some, may be esti
mated at very near, if not quite, the full value
between the now named worth of the bridge
and the amount of difference. We certainly
cannot be very much the losers in the transac
tion, and for the sake of peace, now and hereaf
ter, we ought to be willing to give something.
The minor details are easily settled; but it
should not be settled by the City Council alone.
They are the representatives of the people, it is
true; but not in this matter. They only repre
sent so much of the city as they own, and no
more. The real estate holders are the parties to
be consulted. Let them speak ; and let them, if
they speak favorably, appoint, with the Council,
such of their citizens as have interest in the
matter, to conduct the negotiations.
Let the citizens be called together and hear
argom'eiit on the subject; and if the gentlemen
from South Carolina feel authorized to grant the
conditions heretofore named, and can give satis
factory bond of their fulfillment —and, further,
that the Depot of the South Carolina Rail Road
shall be located below Washington street and North
of Broad street. And, if our citizens are satisfied,
let them say so in the same manner as they gave
their voices for the Canal. In this manner,
whatever may be the response, the matter will
be disposed of by t hose only who have a right to
settle it, as well as all other matters which are
of i nterest to AUGUSTA.
Cotton Bloom.—The Montgomery Ala.,
Atlas of the sth inst. says: We were shown on
Tuesday a fine Option blossom taken from the
plantation of Dr. B. IL Jones. I his compared
with the growth of the plant in forward seasons,
could not be considered early; but for this season
it is very early, and, indeed, the earliest that we
have heard of. This blossom was of the species
denominated the ‘"California Cotton. Lot the

plucked two or three days before it was shown
to us.

Coleman and Stolterfoht's Report.
Liverpool, May 23. — 1 t must be admitted that
business has not improved, and it is probable that
we may have to wait a little while longer for it; the
derangement in the Cotton market acts for the mo
ment prejudicially upon the manufacturing districts,
whatever it may do in the end, it has had its share
in the heavy decline in the value of Railroad pro
perty, it holds forth the prospect of mercantile mis
fortunes consequent upon the serious losses which
are now occurring, and it places in the distanco a
greater demand for money, and a higher rate of dis
count. It certainly does appear strange that causes
apparently so inadequate should produce such se
rious, and it argues an exceeding great sensitiveness
on the part of the public.
The Manchester market is in as uncertain a po
sition as our own; there is a disposition to do busi
ness as soon as matters should appear settled, but
the constant decline which has hitherto taken place
has intimidated the buyers. There has been a good
deal of business done in some descriptions of Goods,
but at lowering prices; in Yarns the business was
more circumscribed. Spinners reduce their pur
chases to the utmost during the present unsettled
state of the Cotton market, but their consumption
is not reduced, though of looms there is an increas
ing number standing idle. The stock of Cotton is
very low, and that of Goods and of Yarns, consid
ering the time of the year, is also very light.
It is difficult to describe the exact position of our
cotton market. So far from it having recovered
any tone, it looks more demoralized than ever. The
steamer’s advices showing a constantly increasing
excess in the receipts, all further estimates of the
extent of the crop are now given up, and it is as
sumed that it will be comparatively large. The
pressure to sell continues, and arises in many cases
from pecuniary necessities; the regular importers
have mostly withdrawn from the market. While this
pressure exists no correct opinion can be formed of
the future; it arises chiefly from local causes, which
inspire some uneasiness. There are many monied
men watching the market for investments, but
speculators are disheartened by every purchase
proving hitherto too dear. The trade have taken
about to the extent of the weekly consumption ,and
there has been some demand for export, chiefly for
the better qualities. We must reduce our prices
again by |d. per lb. in the qualities of American
below fair, while those above maintain their value
better. Brazil are heavy, and |d. per lb. lower ;
they are out of proportion high to American Cot
ton. Egyptains have declined to some extent.—
Surats are very difficult to sell, and are irregular in
price.
HAVRE, May 22—Thursday evening.—Our
Cotton market remains in a dull and unsettled state.
Buyers are unwilling to operate: the general opin
ion is that prices will go lower. New Orleans tres
ordinarie is now quoted at 86, and Uplands 83 a
84, but the demand is confined to small lots for im
mediate wants. The advices from New York to
10th instant, by the Pacific, came to hand yester
day,
In other articles nothing worthy of mention has
occurred. Breadstuff's remain very low, the sea
son being fine. No arrival from the United States
sinco yesterday.
