AUGUSTA MARKET.
Tuesday night, Oct. 6ih, 1846.
COTTON.—There has been a fair demand for
Cotton to-day. In prices we have no change to
note. The whole range, for old and new is 71 (3)
9c. viz : 7k (3)Bi foe old, and 8. (S) 9c. for new.
The quality of the new crop, which has been re
ceived up to this time is very good, better we have
been told, than that of any crop for some years
past. The staple is said to be very superior, and
the ginning much belter than it has ever been
heretofore.

condense the following statement
in reference to the mail bag for Liverpool,
which was left, from the N. Y. Journal of ;
Commerce, October 2.
A Great Misfortune. —-The principal let
ter-bag which left the New York Post Office
on Wednesday afternoon for the Cambiia,
went to Cape Cod, instead of Liverpool. It
reached the Boston Post Office about 7 o’clock
yesterday morning, with the rest of the New
j York Mail, but by a most unfortunate blun
i der, was soon after taken off by the Agent of
| the Plymouth Rail Road, instead of the bag
which lie should have taken, and carried to
the latter place, distant from Boston 36 miles.
The bag thus left behind, at a most impor
tant juncture in commercial affairs, contain
ed about 6000 letters, all of which were de
posited in the New York Post Office on Wed
nesday. Those which had been deposited
there previously, were forwarded by the pre
vious maiis, and are now on their way to Li
verpool. So also are about 600 or 800 letters
which were latest in reaching the New \ork
Post Office on Wednesday afternoon, and
which (the large bag being then full) were
put in a separate pouch. 8o also are all the
letters and parcels which were committed to
the care of private Expresses.
[ From the N. 1. Journal of Commerce, Oct. 3.j
j ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
I Seven Days Later from Europe.
Boston, Oct. 3d, 1846.
To the Editors of the Journal of Commerce:
By the mail steamer Hibernia, Capt. Ryrie,
which arrived here this forenoon from Liver
pool, making the passage in thirteen days !
and eighteen hours, we have advices from
Liverpool to the 19th September, London
18, Paris 16, Dublin 17, and Havre 17.
Well-lounded apprehensions of a lailnre in !
the American Colton crop have caused an j
increased demand for the staple in Liverpool, !
and prices have accordingly advanced a i
farthing per pound.
Her Britannic Majesty’s government and >
the people of Spain have manifested so much
hostility to the marriage of the Queen of
Spain’s sister, to Louis Philippe’s youngest
son, that the celebration of the nuptials has
been postponed for the present, if not forever.
The immediate consequence is a tremendous
war of words between England. France and
Spain. The remote consequence will pro- j
babiy be the destruction of the entente cor- j
dlale, which has so long existed between the J
courts of St James and St. Cloud.
The total failure of the potatoe crop ap
pears to be a sad reality. Everywhere in
Ireland, and in the greater partofthe British
Island, the vegetable has turned into putrid
matter, which even the hogs will not devour.
From the Continent of Europe, including ;
Russia, we have dismal accounts of the 1
progress of the blight. The use of the pota- ;
toe, as an article of food, is now almost
abandoned.
At the latest date, 18th September, Ame
rican flour was selling at twenty-nine shill
ings per barrel, duty paid at Liverpool. The
price in bond, was twenty-seven shillings
and sixpence.
Indian corn was quoted three shillings the 1
quarter higher; and closed at forty shillings
for yellow and forty-seven shilling for vv' ite. ;
The Bank of England has declared a semi
annual dividend, per cent.
The Gazette de Cologne says it has been
announced for some time that a measure
will shortly appear prohibiting the exporla- I
tion of corn from the territory of France.
The King of Denmark has received let- j
ters from the Emperor of Russia, in which j
the Czar signifies that he is ready not only to j
renounce his pretensions to eventual succes
sion to the Grand Dukedom, but even to in
duce the Grand Duke of Oldenburg to with- j
draw his protest, on condition that the King ;
of Denmark will with promptitude and ener
gy oppose all revolutionary 7 proceedings in the
Dulchies, both now and hereafter.
A number of tried friends of commercial
freedom entertained A. Brown, Esq. a lew
days ago, at Warrington, England, in cele- !
bration of his return as representative of
South Lancashire and the triumph of Free
Trade principles.
On the 271 h ult. the King of Sweden sign
ed an ordinance abolishing all games of
chance at the watering places of Ramloes,
Scania, the only places in Sweden where i
gambling was allowed.
Accounts from Paris dated 17th Sepfem- i
ber, announce that a despatch bad been re
ceived conveying the intelligence that Don
Carlos, the Spanish pretender, had made his
escape, and will probably proceed to Spain.
In the affairs of Spain, the escape of Dun j
Carlos from his imprisonment is likely juA i
now to have an importkiit influence.
Foreign Stock, particularly Mexican,
Spanish and Portuguese, owing to the unset- |
tied state of those countries, has receded.
Ireland. —The rupture amongst the Re
pealers is daily manifesting its consequences
in Belfast.
A day or two back, a meeting was called
I of prophysical and moral force men, when
the former achieved a decinded triumph and j
left the adherents of Mr. O’Connell in a mi- ;
nority.
France. — Puis, Sept. 17 —The news of the
closing proceedings in Congress, with Mr.
Polk’s proposition of peace to Mexico, gave
rise to considerable comment in the Parisian
journals.
The Journal des Debats, the Government
organ, contented itself with remarking that,
without doubt, the new aspect given to the
policy of the United States towards Mexico,
must be ascribed to offers of mediation made
by England.
Spain. —The rumor of a Carlist arising in
Catalonia, turns out to be not unfounded.
Letters from Barcelona, dated the 4th,
asserts that a band of from 300 to 400 men,
under the command of a person of the name
ofPielot, has made its appearance in the
plain of Larrangeena.
Pielot was, during the civil war, at the
head of a division in the Carlist army, and
the commandant of Sarragans.
The Hague , Sept. 13.—The prevailing
sickness is rather increasing than diminish
ing, probably in consequence of the return ot
hot weather.
MARKETS.
The advices per the Caledonia arrived at
Liverpool on the evening of the 13th Sept,
and were delivered early on the following
morning.
No sooner had the contents become known
than the Cotton market underwent a great
change. Speculators commenced to operate
to an unusual degree.
The trade dreading the realization of the
unfavorable conjectures respecting the forth
coming crop, which the letters’ and uewspa- i
perF account from the United jStalco had j
| ventured to send forth, were induced to add
to their stocks.
In England the proverbial fickleness of the
climate has sustained its old character, in
' baffling speculation. The yield of wheat is
| belter this year in the southern, and worse in
j the northern parts of the kingdom. Upon
the whole the yield is hardly better in 1846
than in the previous year.
The English markets for foreign and colo- !
nial produce have latterly assumed a more :
animated and healthy appearance.
The Liverpool Cotton Market, from day to j
day since the 14th, has continued active and |
spirited, and sales of the six days may be |
quoted about43,ooo bales, with an advance of i
lb. Prices of American descriptions being 1
fully maintained, the market for other de
scriptions has experienced a rise. Holders
have been enabled to obtain former rates, but
lower descriptions, which are plentiful, have
receded in value.
The sales of cotton in Liverpool on the
14th September were enormous, amounting
to no less than 20,000 bales, of which specu
lators took 10.000 American. For all de
scriptions of American below 5d per lb., an .
advance of one farthing per lb. was readily I
paid. Other descriptions were higher.
| At Liverpool, foreign and colonial produce !
; sells better by private treaty. A good deal
of business has been done; and as holders re
frain from pressing the market prices, if not
absolutely higher, may be said to be tinner,
j The healthy state of trade, and foil .employ
ment to the working classes, are amongst tite
causes which have led to this result.
NEW-YORK, Oct. I.—Sales cotton forlhe day,
1000 bales. The news has had no effect cm prices.
; Oct. 2.—Sales cotton for the day, 1,500 hales at
| full prices. Yesterday the sales were 1,500 bales.

instant, commencing at lU o’clock A. M.
1 iiese Lots are situated on a street parallel with
the Kail Road, commencing at a point lUOO feet
north of the Depot building, or Freight House, and
running wit h the Kail Road one-half mile, within
dSO led of the track the whole distance, most con
veniently arranged for all business purposes; be
ing 100 feet wide, and all of it now in progress of
i clearing, ditching, and grading.
Lots for Dwellings, w ill be offered for sale at the.
same time, pleasantly situated, on a street running
parallel with the Kail Road and business street,
some 400 yards west of the same, with ample
grounds for yards in front, and gardens, oul-houaes,
&c. in the rear.
Also, Farms, within a circuit of three miles of
the town, of from 10, 20, 30, to 100 < r 200 acres, of
the choicest tillable lands in Murray county.
The State Kail Road, being now finished to within
; 21 miles of this place, it is the intention of the Diree
i lion of the Road, that it shall be in full operation
i to this point in all the month of January, 1847, con
necting a line of Rail Roads to Augusta, Georgia,
! and Charleston, S. C., of 400 miles, and a line to
.Macon and Savannah, Georgia, of about the same
distance; the mail coming through from New York
in lour days, and only thirty hours from Savannah,
| Ga.. and Charleston, S. C.
That Cross Plains is to he a place of much trade,
bone can doubt, who will refer to the map of the
line of Rail Roads terminating there from the
south, and the old and important market roads, ex
tending to it from Tennessee, on the north.
For location, it is the summit level of the Rail
Road, between the Oostanaula River and Mill
j Creek, distant from each other some 26 miles; it is
bordered on its eastern and western sides, with
beautiful ranges of hills, and is considered the
most healthy spot, in one of the most healthy ro
i gions, of the whole Cherokee country.
Merchants wishing to change their present bu
siness locations, or seeking- business; Mechanics,

and desirous of building up a respectable and per
manent community, we venture to predict, will be
well repaid fur a visit to the place, on the day of

half cash, one quarter in 6 months, with interest;
the balance in li months, with interest. For cash
