Deepening of the Channel-Lou in Weight of Cotton.Important Ques? tions. A meeting of the Chamber was held on Mon? day evening, at the Hibernian Hall. After the disposition of the unfinished business, Mr. Howland brought, to the notice of the Chamber the loss sustained, from some unknown causes, in the weight of cotton shipped from this port toother points. After some discussion, Mr. S. L. Howard propose i the following resolu? tion: Resolved, That a committee of five be ap? pointed by the pr?sidez % at his leisure, to take into consideration the loss arising in weights of cotton weighed in this port, and snipped to other pointe. . The chairman appointed the following com? mittee : Messrs. Howard, Lawton, Howland, Ch iso Im and Murdoch. Mr. W. M. Lawton submitted the following I paper, whioh was referred to the above com? mittee : The Charleston Chamber of Commerce, com? posed of gentlemen not confined to a single branch of business, ont chiefly merchants rep? resenting various pursuits of trade, foreign and faii??^! have ever taken a deep interest in the prosperity and welfare- of the agricnl* J turist especially, and as far as it has been in their power, they have striven to advance a calling which is the main spring and depen? dence of other vocations. Cotton an i nco being the staple productions of our State, and so intimately identified with the everyday business and means ot support of mercantile life, that all those causes which affect the crops and wellbeing of the planter must necessarily involve the loss or gain of the merchant jtherefore the proper cultivation of the soil, means of labor and careful preparation of those products designed for Bale and shipment and sale in other markets are legitimate sub - I j ec ts of suggestion and consideration from time to time by thia association, and this body respectful Iv tender their services to the vari? ous agricultural, immigrant and manufactur? ing organizations t hr ou gb out the State to aid and further their inquiries, and to obtain all suoh information as the varied correspondence of our merchants can command. The Chamber ia duly impressed with the-im portanceof a more careful packing and baling of cotton generally by the planters, as calcula? ted to save lose in weight and pilfering, when the sides of the bales are left open and lightly packed. It is suggested that the sea island planters would find it to their interest to have their cot? ton put np in square packages and closely wo? ven bagging, the weight to be not lees than four hundred pounds. Cotton of all kinds should be distinctly branded and numbered. Vice-President 8. Y. Tupper submitted a I communication from the licensed pilots of j Charlearon with ref ere nee to the present mode of appointing pilots for the bar and harbor which waa deemed objectionable and bazard? ons to the commercial and shipping interests of the port. After some remarks explanatory of the above, be offered the following resolu? tions: Resoieed, That to a commercial community each, se Charleston, it is vitally important that there be an intelligent and responsible system of pilotage. . Besotted, That a committee of five be ap? pointed by the president, to inquire and report upon the system of pilotage now established for the port of Charleston, Th* chair appointed on the committee Messrs. - 8. T. Tupper, A. 0. Andrews, J. T. Welsman, W. P. Half and A. L. Tobias. Mr. W. G. Tie?aus? ure offered the following resolutions, prefacing them with explanatory remarks, in reference to the condition of Besch island Channel These resolutions were adopt? ed: Resolved, That the sum of fifty dollars be appropriated, ?abe paid upon the order of the president, for Ute parp?se of having made a survey and soundings of the beach on Sulli? van's Island Channel. Resolved, That a committee of three be ap-1 pointed by the president, to whom shall be | committed the duty of employing three or more competent pilota to make such sound- { ings. Resolved, That the same committee be charg? ed with the doty of inquiring and reporting upon the practicability of opening said chan? nel. Resolved, That if the opening of such chan? nel shall appear to be practicable, the same committee be charged with preparing a memo? rial to the Congress of the United States, bringing this matter before it, and asking such appropriation as may be necessary to aooonti piiih the work; and Mut. tbs committee report such memorial, and also the results of the in? quiry to this Chamber, st a meeting to be ca 1 ed by tho president for the purpose. . The following committee was appointed in compliance with the above, vis : Messrs. W. G. DeSausaure, A. O. Andrews and P. /. Por? cher. The following preamble and resolutions, offered by Mr. B. Murdoch, were referred to UM Committee on Losawjf Weight- in Cot? ton: Whereas, Many complaints bave been made that the expenses attendant upon the sales of j cotton in this market are heavy in comparison with Ute charges on salas of cotton m New York; and whereas, the. great indaoemente which sellers in New Tick ire enabled, through superior backing facilities, as well as from the above causee, and the benefits of through rates of freight, to hold out to planters aod mer? chants in the interior, tn oooeigu their produce to that market for sate; and whereas, the through rates of freight of the past sea? son has operated prejudicially to the in? terests of this community, bj affording in? ducements not only te the merchants and planters of the interior to ship their produce to points beyond tots city for sale, bat also to shippers in this city io fill their orders from abroad in the interior towns, all of these things having the effect of reducing our trade and prosperity, and ot converting this city into a mere way station: and, whereas, the time whioh often elapses between the sale and the acceptance or rejection, of cotton, permits a serious change to take place in the value, owing to the frequent and rapid fluctuations in the markets of the world since the comple? tion of the present telegraphic system; and, whereas, hi ease of rejection, this change io price results disastrously to the owner of the cotton; and, whereas, it is to the interest of all and every class of our community that ?ur c itv should bold the position she ia entitled to by virtue of her local advantages, as the great cotton port of the Atlantic, and that nothing in oar power should be left undone to bring about that end; therefore be it 1. Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed by the chair to consult with the wbarf owners and Board of Underwriters, and to solicit their co operation in placing tbe sedera of cotton in this city npon the Bame tooting aa those of New York in respect to storage and insurance; and that this commit? tee be author izsd, on the part of this Chamber, to confer with the presidents and boards of direction of our various railroads, and eudeav or to overcome the discrimination which the through rates of the'past season made against os. 2. That a committee of six, to be com poseo ot brokers and factors, in equal numbers, be appointed by the chair, to take into considera? tion the questions as to the extreme length of time which should be allowed to elapse be? tween the sale and acceptance of cotton, as well as the payment for the same. 3. That these committees be requested to prepare their reports in time to be laid before a special meeting of this Chamber, to be held on Wednesday, the 80th of June, at such an hoar as the President may deem proper. Mr. John Hanckel, one of the delegates to the Memphis Convention, made a verbal re? port, whioh was received as information. The following report was read and adopted: The committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce April 10, 1869, to consider the resolution abolishing the draft of four poonda on rice tierces, respectfully report that they have considered the following resolution, and recommend its adoption by the Chamber : Resoteed, That the draft of four pounds per tierce, heretofore allowed by wharfingers, be abolished, and hereafter, in ill sales of rice, the actual weight shall be charged the par chaser.

Annual Meeting and Report, The annual meeting of tbe association took place yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, in tbe Depository, Chalmers-street. The rollo wing annual report was read by the Ber. C. S. Vedder, and was adopted : BBPOBT-JUNE 5, 1868, TO JUKE 5, 1869. Three years have passed since first the ladies of the Mutual Aid Association commenced their work, and now at this, the end of the year, we think it wo ni.i prove interesting to recall some of the events which have transpired, and see how our Heavenly Father has, by His provi? dence, signally blessed oar endeavors, and aid? ed us when most we required assistance and encouragement. We all know with how mach diffiulty the as? sociation was originally founded, and with what variable success the first and second years of its establishment were attended; how it struggled with all tbe difficulties consequent anon a want of sufficient means to effect the object for which it was intended, and how at times the ladies would be compelled to suspend their operations for a week or two to recover their exhausted treasury, and to ponder WBys and means lor its continuance. Bat through all these they were providentially enabled to remain firm, and our difficulties, thus far, have tended rather to strengthen the position we hope to maintain after a lew yeats. We commenced in June, 1868, with a balance in band of $88 73, a debt of $200 resting upon os for the parchase of material to provide work, and $30 for the insurance on the Deposi? tory. The ladies immediately directed their attention to the discharge or these debts, and the providing#f fonds necessary to carry cn the association. In the accomplishment of | this object it gives us pleasure to add that oar fellow-citizens were not tegardless of our necessities, but came willingly to our aid, and through the combined efforts of the Board of Managers, and the generous assistance of | Moveral musicians, amateur as well as profes? sional, a concert was given, from which we realized $44160. In?Julv we received a donati in of $100 from Mr. Wm. Aiken. In August $100 from Mr. Thomas Moore, of Wai nfl old, New Jersey, who on hearing of the object of the association had become interested m its proceedings, and wrote to the president enclosing the above, and desiring further information in regard to it. On receipt of thu, his interest becoming still more enlisted, he gave within the two suc? ceeding months $400, making a total dona? tion of $500. These, together with several smaller do jetions, enabled us to free ourselves entirely' of debt, and make some necessary repairs on the Deposi? tory, leaving a*good balance to work apon. Since then we have had the pleasure of acknowledging, from time to time, the re? ceipt of the following donations, viz: From two "Friends" of the association, $100; from the former "Ladies' Depository ' ot this city, $162; this being the interest accruing from some deposited funds of the above society, whioh is now in an unorganized state. Within the last two months we nave received a kind expression of interest, united to a desire to re? lieve the wants of oar people, in the form of a donation of $250, from Mr. A. A. Low, of Brook? lyn, New York. Also vari?os donations, such a? fuel, stationery, biscuits, ice, ?Vc, which all seemed to come jost at the moment when most needed, and for whfoh the donors will obtain the re waid of their gen er o aity in the kind feelings entertained towards them in the hearts of the grateful recipients. In several instances, we nave received funds with the special request that the names should be withheld. These have been generally ap? propriated towards the parchase of garments for distribution among those who had former? ly lived in comfort and luxury. Thu sadly h tvs the reverses of the late war been felt ii oar midst. The new branch connected with our depoei toiy, vis: the makipg of preserves, pickles, syrups, jellies, wines and cordials, referred to m our last report as only commenced by way of trial, has, during this year, proved wonder? fully successful, and has been the means not only of wTtmidingy the utility of the association, but attracted the attention of those abroad as well as at home, the interest manifested in our cause being ' thereby greatly advanced. The luxurious growth of toe fruit crop last year enabled the ladies, about thirty in number, who furnish the depository, to make large quantities of preserves, which have amounted in Tame to more than $1000, and much more good might have been effected in this line bad there been any certainty on the minds of the ladies that ready sale oould have been found for their work. Most of the orders for preserves have been received from the North, our own population being too impoverished to assist us mach in this way, and a great part of oar saocess ia these sales, it is bat jost to add, bas been owing to the great efforts pot forth in oar behalf by several kind friends of the asso? ciation residing at the North, who have exert? ed themselves to make known our institution, interested others in it, and obtain orders for ns. To the "Female Employment Society.' of Brooklyn, N. Y., we are much indebted for the recent disposal of preserves to a large amount; also to the "Ladies' Depository," of Baltimore. This branch is subject to the same roles and regulations as the needle-work-the per? centage charged doing little more than de? fraying the necessary expenses of packing, shipping, drayage, Ac. Through means of oar organisation, the la dies sss&pw preserves are enabled to obtain their material at the lowest possible rates, as the association purchases by wholesale for them. Ia this way we haye assisted a much larger number than we could otherwis j have done. In stating the above, we would ackno v ledge the kindness shown the association by Messrs. F. & J. Bodine, of Philadelphia, in selling their jars at reduced rates, and for libe? ral donations. Also, the Messrs. Paul, of this city, for their redaction of sugar in oar favor, and for their liberality in gratuitously packing oar boxes daring the last season. We have been great y encouraged to proceed in this part of our work by the constant large orders received, and the satisfactory reports of the purchasers, as sell as by the benefit which seems to have been produced to those engaged in it. Ia regard to the needle work, it is only ne? cessary to add that this, too, has been quite prosperous. The number of garments made np during the year has amounted to 1500 pieces. This includes 515 pieces of ordered work, when the material was furnished alto? gether by the employer, for whioh we reoeived pay, and 985 pieces ot store work, by which we mean that prepared simply for tin purpose of supplying won, or in accordance with a direct order where we furnished all the material. For the cutting oat of this work we have paid over j $183. Large quantities of needle work as well as of the preserves have been sent North in accordance with orders received, and the ex? pressions in regard to it have been most satis? factory to os, and have very frequently been the means of procuring farther orders. From the $50 entrusted to us last year by the ' Ladies' Depository," of Baltimore, princi ?ly in goods, we have realized an increase of I 50. This, we admit, is quite small, and) might have been made more remunerative, ex? cept for oar complicated accounts, whioh pre? vented us from paying special attention to this amount. Daring the ooming year, how? ever, we hope to render the statement more gratifying to tba ladies of .Baltimore. The salesroom bas brought us a return this year ol $1393 19, or an average per month of $116. This defrays our weekly expenses but does not enable us to give out as much work as the demand requires; and wc would some? times have fallen very tar short had not our wants boen supplied by orders from without, which havo been greatly increased this year. Wo take this opportunity of thank? ing our customers fer their patronage, and would earnestly solicit its continuance in tho future. The association is so well known now, that it is the general resort for those who desire to obtain work, and we have endeavored to regulate our prices SB much as possible in accordance with tho requirements of both the employer and employee. There is one other point upon which we have not yet touched, and which has caused os some regret-we refer to the subscriptions. Advancing in every other respect, our subscrip? tions have diminished each year, and now only amount to $272 C7. The annual subscription is but one dollar, which we frequently find diffi? cult to obtain. So many are dependent upon this association for partial, if not entire sup? port, that we wonld earnestly set forward the necessity for a greater extension of this means of supply in the coming year. And we would especially desire to bring to the notice of the public that none are authorized to collect for the Mutual Aid Association except those who have their tegular subscription books, with the signatures of the officers attached. We have recently learned that a considerable amount of^ collections were made within the past year in the name of the association, by fraudulent characters, and would embrace thia opportunity of placing persons on their guard in relation to this matter. We sabjoin for the consideration of the mem? bers of the association, and all those interest? ed in its success, the following condensed account of its rece ip s and expenditures, dur? ing the past year : The amount of money received into the treasury from Jane 1868, to Jane 1869, is as follows : Balance 1st Jane, 1868. $ 88 73 Subscriptions. 1173 67 Do cations. 1629 55 Salosroom account..'. 1393 19 Total. $5377 ll The amount disbursed within the same period ls.r.. $8263 47 Leaving a balance in hand of.. 114 67 The following: officers were elected to serve i for the ensuing year : Mrs. G.

The jurors answered to their names. The Jury in the case of Robert L. Livingston et al, vs. Y. S. Jordan, reported yesterday, re? turned a verdict that the premises described in the pleadings were the property of the plain? tiff, and assessed damages at one oent. J. M. Alston vs. John L. Manning. Debt on bond. Demurrer and special pleas. W. A. Pringle, Ed. MoCrady, Esqs., and Hon. Wm. Hull, of Augusta, for plaintiff; Porter & Con? ner and J. 8. G. Rich arda on, Esqs., for de? fendant. Mr. Porter, under instructions, moved for a c m tin nance of the case on the ground that the juries are not organized as the law directs. . It was ordered that the jurors should be drawn under the last act of the Legislature, one section of the act having provided that it should take effect from its passage. The judges of the State Court had declined to exer? cise jurisdiction until the jurors are drawn in conformity to the act, and the question arose whether under the law the party litigant in the United States Court has not the right to ask a continuance of his cause until the jury is drawn in conformity with the existing State law. If they thought proper to accept the jury as organized, there could be no Objection. Bnt it was a question whether it is not the spirit and intent of this law that the practice of the Courts of the United States shall con? form itself lo the practice of the State Courts. Mr. Hull said that every aot of legislation is prospective and not retrospective, unlesa ex? pressly provided in the enactment itself. A change that is made in the law after the Juror as | are drawn, the venire issued, the jurors sum? moned, and the venire returned, wilf surely not be bold to invalidate that proceeding, and thereby render it impracticable to hold a term of the court. Che Chief Justice gave a verbal opinion? refusing to grant the motion for continuance. The argument on the demurrer and special pies? we? thou heard, and the decision of the court reserved. ^ E. P.
