Harper, was shot at the Washington Hotel, Vicksburg; it is thought by Mr. Tippo, the keeper of the hotel. Mr. T. h id been intoxicated during the day, and Harper was a boarder at the house. Before the affair todk place. Harper, who lodged in the same room with Tippo, declared that he would compel Tip po to give up his arms, which he had been flourish ing before lie went to bed. Tippo it seems did so, but both being in the room together, they got into an irregular duel, and discharged pistols at each other. Harper was shot between the third and fourth ribs, and expired before any one came to the spot, and Tippo it appears was shot through the left side, a little above the ischium, (a flesh wound), but it was not known until the 21st.— Tippo is in jail awaiting bis trial, The Sentinel of the 23d says that Tippo had bean discharged after an investigation of the case before Justices Maxey and Everett—it was sup posed he acted in self-defence.

Any morbid action which may have tvken place is corrected, all obstructions are removed, the Mood is purified,and the body ic sum s a hca thl’ul state. These medicines after much anxious toil and re search, having been bron >bt by the proprietor to fie present st ite of perfci tio i, supersede the use of he innumerable other medicines ; and a.c so well a I iptedto the frame, that the use of them, by main t lining the body in the duo performance of its functions, and preserving the vital stream in a pure and healthy state, causes it to last many years long er tiian it otherwise would, and the mind to be come so composed and tranquil, that od age when it arrives will appear a homing, and not (as too many who have neglected their constitutions, or bad them injured by medicines ad Ministered by i •- no.ance) a source of misery and abhorrence. They are so compounded, that by strengthening and equalizing the action of the heart, liver, and other viscra, they expel the bad, acrid or morbid matter, which renders the blood impure, out of the circulation, through the excretory duets into the passage of t ie bowels, so tiiat by the brisk o> slight evacuations which may be regulated by the doses, always remembering that while the evacualinns from the bowels are kept up, tne excretions from all the other portions of the body will ako he going on in the same proportion, by which means the blood inva.iabiy becomes pii.ilied. Sicily perseverance in I lie use of the medicine will undoubtedly elfect a cure even in the most acute or obstinate diseases; but in such cases the dose may be augmented, according to the inveteracy of the disease; tire medicines being so admirably adapted to the constitution, that they mav be taken at all times In all casus of hypochondriacism, low spirits,pal pit tions of the heart, nervous irritability, nervous weakness, flour al..us, seminal weakness, indiges tion.

This infallible remedy lias preserved hundreds of children, when thought past recovery, from con vulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. This preparation is so innocent,so ellicaoious, and so pleasant that no child will refuse to lot its gums be rubbed with it. When infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the Syrup should be used on the gums to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery where there are voungchildren ; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease by open ing tho pores an 1 healing the gums ; thereby pre venting convulsions. fevers, &c.

Cotton. —Received since utn instant, 15,241 bales; exported 18,767 do; leaving a stock on band of 1.6,041 bales, including all on ship board not cleared. Our last review left the market in a very dull and declining situation, winch war increased by tne reception on Satuiday of advices from Liver | pool and Havre to the gel uJt, which did noi bring the expected advance in these markets. This inactivity continued until Tuesday, when a revival took place ; the sales on that day amount ed to 2000 ba cs at a decline from tiie highest point of jc. on all qualities except good and line; since however the demand has been active and the daily sales will average 3000 bales with a decided change for the better, and our market closed thinly at toe quotations below. The upward tendency is attributed to the now general belief in a very diminished supply as com pared witii last year—more especially to the evi dent favorable turn on the first March at Liver pool towards cotton, and the strong impression amongst dealers that the Great Western to leave Bristol on the 23d ult. (at which time there wouid appear ag. cat deficiency in the imports from this country) wi 1 bring satisfactory advices not only as to the price of cotton, but also as to the improved demand for both yarns and goods at .Manchester.
