? From the *4ugu$ta Adx rrtucr, It is understood that au arrange ment is made for enlarging and beau tifying the Theatre in this place, under the direction and superinten dence of Mr. J. K- M. Chaklton and Mr. C'hahlks \oung. The latter gentleman has been the acting; manager of (he company whose re gular entertainments closed on Mon day evening last. Tlie places at pre fceut contemplated for the future ser \iccs of the gentlemen who are or may be included in this arrangement1, are Columbia, Camden, Milledge \ilte and this city. The lovers of the drama may calculate on a rich repast, as the talents of the former gentleman, and experience of the latter, added to the collective exer tions of both, warrant the anticipa tion : ? and in due reciprocity to their respective merits, the admirers of Histrionic amusements will fondly wish them a golden harvest for their labors. The season of performance to,commence, probably, iu the month of October next. X. We understand, that Silver Thb lars aig imported into the United States ^fr??p England. Three ves sels have recently brought in greater or less quantities. It is said, that iti London they cost 59 i-td per ounce ? requal to 51 1-Sd per dollar ? Md or 4s 6d being the par, the dollars are consequently 3 ppr cent under par. The influx of silver from Jhe continent into England haq been con siderable; as beftiga jnore. favora ble remittance than biHs of exchange. Dollars from South America have also been imported into England in large quantities At Bueoos Ayres it is said they are worth onfly 4s stea ling. In consequence of (hie influx iut ii England, we have heard it ac counted tor, thai dollars tire so far below par as to afford a; profit on im portation iuto this country. We may: therefore expect to sec. more of them brouglft in. This is. not the only re markable circumstance of these times. Business is so stagnant, tiiat we hear of much idle capital afloat. Persons; vtoulti'wiMlng borftf* it to pay their* debts $ but the . want of confidence! operates as a serious impediment he- j tween those who have it and . those; who want it. Many of -the Banks, j who are solicitous to lend, cannot al-; ways get paper to their liking. Priv# i ate capitalists in some of the northern towns are said to he willing to loan on undoubted security at 5 or 6 pwl cent. The public 6 per cents com mand from 3 to 0 per cent above par. The government are authorized by the lat? three million loan bill to take the loa# at 6 per cent if redeemable at the pleasure of the government: if no, at 5 per cent, irredeemable before the year 1882. If they prefer the latter alternative, they will no doubt suo ceed in negotiating the loan. These are a 1 together anomalous events u? the history of our country. {Richmond Enquirer, ? It is s?id to be> in the contempla tion of the British, Government to impose on Cotton and Hice imported from the United States, duties ejqttf valent to $ prohibition. Britain is anxious doubtless as well to strike a blew at the prosperity of the U. States, as to encourge the produce of her own dominions in the East ; hut it it well understood that although the India Cottons may hi a measure iiipplant our coarser groath, our Incr Cottons are indispensable to her Manufactures. We understand (says the JVaik ington City Gazette ) that Comtno* dore Chahes Stewart, of JPenn aylvania, recently returned from the command of the Mediterranean squadron, in the Franklin 7% has been appointed by the President* with the consent of the Senate, a member of t}>e Board of Navy Com< missioners, vice Commodore Ste phen Degtlur, deceased. ([The salary authorized, hy law. for this office is 8,500 dollars, pei annum. 3 Agreeably to the mode adopted by the Navy Department, of determin ing the names of our vessels of war, under the r&solution of Congress, the Navy Commissioners proceeded on Thursday, we understand, to assign, hy lot, the name to be borne by the ship of the line just built at New-York. The name which she drew, which of course, from ber rate, mu9t be the name of a state, was Ohio . She is to be launched on Tuesday next. ? Nat. In'el.

A question has been gravely discussed lit the "Missouri papers, " whic h ought tq a)iract the solemn attention of that unfortunate cla*? of Wights. QW Bapjiejors."

The only difficulty apprehended by the Chronicle, is, that the debates might be too pro tracted and !ofuactfus,-r-Com. Adv.
