Cotton has been steady, but sales mode rate and in prices there bus been no mate rial change. The sales of Cotton for the week sum up 31.700 bales. The following are the official quotations of the Committee of Brokers: Fair Upland 5;d; Mobile 51; Fair Or leans Sd.. POLITICAL. FRAc.-A letter from Louis Napoleon to a friend which appeared in the Moni teur, has led to some excitement in the political world. It states that the French army had not been sent to Rome to suppress Italian lib erly, but to regulate it by preserving it from its own excesses, and restoring to the Fontical chair the prince who first took a lead in all useful reforms. Most persons wished to make proscrip tion and tyranny the basis of the Pope's restoration, but Restolan has been instrnct ed that no act which can-bring any odiurm on the Fret;ch intervention is to be permit. led under.the tri-colored flag. The resto ration of the Pope's temporal power is thus precluded, and a full and general am nesty is secured with a secularization of the Government. General Rawdon has been appointed Commander of the Army of Italy, with instructions (on the event of the Pope's finally declining to return to Rome) to car ry out minutely the plan of operations de tailed in the letter of the President. General Rawdon set out for his com mand immediately. Orders bad been received at Brest by Telegraphic despatch of 6th ult., to have six ships immediately, ready for sailing orders. Their destination is not as yet known but is supposed to he Tahiti. SPAIN.-The Cuban Insurrection was engaging the attention of the Cabinet. Mr. Asher Kelly an attache of the English le gation at Washington (?) has been trans ferredito Lisbon. HusroAR.-Comorn and Peterwardien had not surrendered. " No later particulars in relation to Kos. suth, nor is there from lungary any news of interest or importance. - ITAL.-From Gaeta we learn that Cardinal Tremoinatic had refused to pay any portion of the public debt which fell due in June last. A letter from that place bearing date on the 5th inst., mention the crisis as fast as. sumning a dangerous aspect, and atnother rupture wras considered extremtely proba ble and likely to occur at an early day. WEIGHING OF COTTON. .We were invited on Monday evenitng to witness the weighing of some cottotn on Fithsimons's wharf, the history of which may tend to thtrow some light otn the dis crepatncic3 betwecn the weights of Plan ters and Factors, which arc now a subject of controvcrsy.. The cotton was received in April Inst from onc of the most e:ninent platntels of 'our State, neatly packed. with tho weight of each bale mcrked upon. It was shippcd from thte landing of the pl.anter in a private boat, and was consigned to a relative, a gcntleman largely engatged in the cotton husiness, under whose supervision it was weighed. Every bale fell short from 8 to 35 ptounds-the aggregato deficncy on ten bales being 172 pioutnds, or ant average of more than 17 pounds per bale. Six or eIght days afterwards it was samapled and placed in store, under lock and key. - -Otn Monday last, ten bales wecre taken out and roweighed, showintg a further di minutioan of weight, but 'which is readily accounted for by thec evaporation which always talkes place when stored in a dry room. After the ten bales ivecro reweighed * in the wiarnfingeyr's scales, they wecre placed together itn thte scales of the City Weighler, which were adjusted with the the nicest adc~racy, attd thte diflerene was hut tharee pounds, occasioned, no doubat, lby the dirt accumulated in rolling the bales from otne scale to the other. The following is a re capitulation: Plantter's weightt and mark on the balea-374, 326, 330, 360, 406, 364, 390, 380, 360 3632 Whtarfinger's weight, as weiged on Fitzsimot's whtar f, A*.ril 6, .J849, 360, 318, 316, 333, 339. 373, 350, 377, 344, 316. 3460 Wharfing~er's weight, as weighed on the 24th September, 18-19-35.5, 315, 309, 327, 333, 366, 342, 373, .240, 341, 3401 City scales, as weighed Sept. 24, 1849-ten bales 3401 These results will show that errors ini weighing may sometimes occur on thte plantation, as well as in the city, and that imputations of fraud should not be lighttly based upon a disctepancy between thetm. As charges of thte kind have bteen tnade, however, it is due to all concerned that they shtould be pressed to an .isstte, atnd either established or withdrawn.-M ercu ry.

This " fitiied Noithern Agricultural Editor," Stine to his Northern Instincts. holds forth, in one of his late iss iins, in the following amusing bal derdash: "Georgia has confided in the industry and enterprise of her people, while Garolina has looked to her "resdittion mongers" to regain her lost prosperity. A fow more years of. such confidence will opien the eyes of her people, and show then the advantages to be der.ed from a ' famed Northern Agricultural Editor,' as well as the blighting curse of her great -tes. olution monger." "That such a day will, ere long, dawn upon South Carolina we are rejoiced to believe and know, from evidences in the constant course of development. That she has been too long ac customned to use the ' resolution manger' at Fort 11111 as a sort of ,inhor-saving machine to think for her, is a fiact of which muany of her intelligent sons are already convinced ; and they are well satisfied that the buildin; tp of Graniteville, or even the proper disposition of a few loads of manure, contributes more to the real and substantial prosperity of the State than all the resolutions and gasounale that have been pit forth at his bidding." The Editor has repeatedly entertained his readers in low ribaldry against Mr. CALuiouS, and in expressions of contempt for South Cars olina and her internal policy. Every mran has his taste. But, this man's idiosyncracies are, indeed, peculiar. He seems to have a strange relish fur manure-and for indecent aUack s uron virtue and inteligence! And another of his pecularitics, not the least strange is, that he does all his vicious work under the guise of virtue. But in this he verifies the old apoth, thegu -" Saepc laet vitiumf prozimitate bont." "Tis ton umch proved-that, with 'eeb. tion's visage, And pions action. lie does sugar o'er The devil himself."

I leave it for the country to determine. If I had committed the most heinous crimes, it were no mitigation of the con duct of gIea who could so shamefully vio late their proffered faith with me, I am justly indignant at such perfidious conduct, hut am almost undecided what is proper for me in the future. The antipathy against Ohio and her people, esiecially myself, is so strong here, that a tesort to the habeas corpus would doubtleSs prov6 a failure, although I would not tast unmeri ted censure upon them, many things idai cate to me that some of the most influential men wil prevent if possible, my having a fair and honorable hearing in a court of justice. Therefore, although I would not create an unwonted excitement, it seems but just to me that the authorities of Ohio, of which State I claim to be an hrafible citizen, should speedily look into my case. It is the duty of her Government. to aflrd protection Io . her people when they h.ave not forfeited it by their own misconduet, and when she fails to afford such protec tion she fails to accotnplish the purjpose of her organization. If it calibe fairly shown hat ssuamendais $ lh of h this State for any'ofeiieeI have conmi-t ted agains' them, I resign myself calmly to my prisoit. If otherwise, I dermand atu honorable release. Very respectfully, .youts, &c. 3. M. BARtisTT. Cot. GADSDEN's REPLY to CoL,.

RELIGIOUS R~vIvAL,.-We clip the fbi lowiug from lte Spurtanburg Spartan: "I was glad wvhen they said unto me let us go into the House of the Lord." This is the spirit, and this is the gladness, writh whtich the people of our Village are bless ed. For a week past, the Methodist Church under the care of the Rev. Mr. - Duraut, has been almost nightly crowded,~ with a serious and attentive audience. Eighteen in all have recently united them selves to his Chturch, and many others appear deeply. affected, by the almost irressistible appeals and manily eloquence -- f this faithful and much loved Minister. We hope the,begmning influences of a graci ous revival may go out and reach every Church and every heart..
