Present-The Proceedings ?and Addresses-ll ig h Compliment to Kev. Dr. W Inkier. The Baptist State Convention of South Cato lina met at York vii le, S. C., on Thursday the 22d instant. The number of delegates was not so large ss usual, yet the attendance was respectable. Ber. Dr. J. L. Reynolds wis elected president, and Rev. Dr. J. O. B. Dar? gan, Tioe-nxesident; Dr. 8- W. Bookhart was appointed secretary. The Tork Association applied and waa admitted a member of the convention. There were a number of the dis? tinguished ministers of the denomination pre? sen*. Among them ' Dr. J. C. Furmft, Dr. B. Manly, Dr. Winkler, Dr. William Curtis and other able men, beside tbe president and vice president sfroady mentioned. There was also present Ber. Dr. J. B. Jeter, of Richmond, editor of the Behgions Herald, and Mr. J. H. Mills, editor.of tbe Biblical Recorder, of Ral? eigh, N. C. The Greenville Enterprise says : 1?e convention and the good citizens of Torcv?le seemed to form a mutual good opin? ion of each other. There was a generous kind? ness and hospitality exhibited by the people and by other denominations of Christians, aol a favorable impression marie by the urea hers of the convention who had the opportunity or ben g heard. On Friday evening addresses were delivered in relation to Forman Univer? sity and the general cause of ?ducation, by D. Jeter, Dr. Winkier aud Dr. Reynolds, Dr. j. C. Forman having first given some statements and explanations as to the condition and pros? pects of tbe inetnu.ion. The addresses were very able, as might be expected from the character of their authors, aqd that of Dr. Winkler especially waa one of surpassing ability for learning, argument and eloquence combined. Bis address was the most elaborate, and longer than the others. A citizen of York ville, ne of the legal profes? sion, said to some of the delegates, that he had heard Clay and Webster iud other great and famed apealara of the United Statea. bat that Dr. WI? kier, in bis opinion, surpassed than in oratory. At the conclusion of the addresses, several* hen?s were pledged for the benefit of Forman Uni vars! ty. on the plan heretofore annouuoed; the condition being the payment of thirty dol- : lars annually for three yean-the giver ot the bond io the meantime baring the right of ?ending a student without paying any thing for tnitiOo. The next meeting of the convention is to be at Greenville, lt will be the fiftieth year of ils existence, and on this account Dr. Reynolds, who is appointed to preach the introductory sermon, is instructed to present in his dis? course its semi -cen tenn i al history. The Con? vention adjourned on Sunday night after pxeaohing. T ere was no business transacted siter Saturday eventos;. On Monday nearly all were homeward bound. THE IRISH CHURCH BILL. Protest of tbe ConserratlTePeena guInt ito Peel ?se. The latest foreign mails bring the test c the protest made by the conservative peers c England against the Trish Church bill. It i as follows : Dissentient-1. Beca nae tbis bill, for th first time since the foundation ot the Britis monarchy, intro.inces, so far as Ireland i concerned, the principle, unrecognized in an other- country in Europe, of an entire sevei ance of tue State from the support of any an every form of religious worship. 2. Because the adoption of this principl with regard to Ireland cannot but (rive grea encouragement to the designs of those wh desire its extension to every part of the Unite Kingdom. 3. Because it is a violent stretch of the po? er of Parliament to resume a grant made b. itself in perpetuity; still more to confiscat property held by long prescription, and by i title independent of Parliament. ?. Because if this .principie be well foumlei as regards private property, it is still more si wifh regard to that which bas been solemn.; sot apart for the purposes of religion and thi ser vice bf Almighty God. 5. Because the legislation attempted ia thin bill td ds to snake confidence i i all property and especially in that which rests upon a Par liamentary title, heretofore considered as th< most on assailable of all. G. Because it is impossible to placea church disestablished and disallowed, and bound to pether only by tb? tie of a volantary associa tiou, on a tooting of equality with the perl ec organization of the Church of Rome, wberebj especially rn Ireland the laity are made com? pletely subservient to the priesthood, the priests to the bishops, and the bishops ihem selves are subject to the uncontrolled authori? ty of a foreign potentate. 7. Because this bill will be felt as a gi ie vont injustice by tbe Protestants of Ireland, who, through tl eir Irish Parliament, surrendered their political independence by a treaty, of the fund i men tal condition of which wis the gre tei security Of the Protestant establishment. 8. Because while this meisure will tend tc alienate .those who h a vo hitherto been the firmest supporters of the British throne and British connection, go far from conciliating, muob less satisfying, it will only stimulate tc fresh demands that large.port ion of the Bom an Catholic populan on of Ireland wht h l?olts for? ward to ulterior and very different objects, and, above all, to ultimate emancipation from the control of the British Legislature.

[From the London Spectator.] On September 1,1859, shortly before noon, two astronomers-Messrs. Hodgson and Car? rington-one at Oxford, tbe otber in London, were at the same instant scrutinizing a large Eroup of snn spots. On a sudden t wo intensely right patches of light appeared in Iront of the cluster. So brilliant were they that the observ? ers thought the darken in? screens attached to their telescopes must bave been fractured. But this was found not to be the case. The briant spots indicated Borne process going on upon the sun's surface-a proses* of such activity that within five minutes the spots travel.ed forer a apace of nearly thirty-four .thousand miles. Now, st the Kew Observatory there are se lt-registering magnetic instruments which idicate the processes of change by which the subtlejnflaehces of terrestrial magnetism wax and wane. Ai one time the line traced by the pointer wil be marked bv scarcely perceptible undulations, indicating the almost quiescent state of tbe great terrestrial magnets. At an? other, Well maited waves along th s line ex? hibit the pul atioLH of the maguehs system, influenced in a manner as yet intelligible to the physicist, and then there is a third form of disturbance, thees harp, sudden j :rks of the pointer exhibiting the occurrence of those mysterious phenomena termed "magnetic t tor m s." TOien the records of the Kew Ob? servatory cwHo to be looked over, it was fouud that at the very instant in.which the brilliant spots of light bad appeared to Messrs. Hodg? son and Carrington, the self-registeriog in? struments bad been subjectel to the third ami most significant form of disturbance-a mag? netic? tora began, in fact, aa the light broke out on . the sn .i's surlace. Bat this was not the only evidence of the sympathy with which the earth responded to the solar a edon, lt was subsequently found that soon after the spots of light had appeared tbe whole frame of the earth had thrilled ander a mvsterioas magnetij influence. At the West Indies, in South America, in Australia, wherever mag? netic operations are systematically made, the observers had the same story to tell. In the telegraph stations at Washington and Phila? delphia the signalman received strong electric shocks. In Norway telegraphic machinery was set on fire. The pen or Bain s telegraph was followed by a flame. And wherever telegraphic wires were in action, well marked indications of disturbance presented themselves. Even this, however, was ? not all. The great mag? netic storm was not a mere instantaneous elec? tric throe. Hours passed before thc disturbed earth resumed its ordinary- state. Aud thus it happened tbat in nearly all parts of tbe earth night fell while the storm was yet in progress. During the night magnificent au rona spread their waving streamers over the sky. both ia the oortuern sad the southern hemisphere. As the disturbed needle vibra- ; ted the colored streamers waved responsive, sod it was only when the magnetic storm was subsiding that tbe auroral lights faded from the heavens. Now it is evident that these Ehenomena show the most intimate relation et ween these peculiar disturbances in the sun and the magnetic currents of our own earth. Directly one of these changes takes plice up? wards of ninety millions of miles away, the electric condition of our planet is changed in some mysterious way, of which our instru? ments, and even the condition of our sky, bear re; ord. The pens of all our telegraphic wires may some day trace in Aime a handwriting more ominous of human destiny than was the h a ni writing which, a tiring Belshazzar's* feast, traced a warning on the wall of the fall of the Babylonian dynasty, moreover, note this, that th?se changes io the condition .of the san take place at intervals of about eleven years. The variable star which swings round it, as well as supplying us with light and heat and (apparently) magnetism, clouds over every eleven yeats these spots, >o that it seems most likely that every eleven years cer tam magnetic conditions recur wbicb have not occuired in the interval. If so. perhaps, the magnetic excitement of 1859 will recur, and it may be in much greater force next year-in 1876. And if it does, how are we to say what may or may not recur with it ? Even now one sucu epocb of magnetic storm seems to be thought pretty near at u and. Tbe sun bas been exhibiting lately the most sur? prising forms of disturbance; and presenting to scientific eyes less "fixity" of essence than ever. Spots so vast that we must es tim?, te their dimensions bv millions ol square miles haye broken oat from time to time, and have presented rapid changes of figure, indicating tbe action of forces of inconceivable intensity. Clusters of smaller spots, extending over yet vaster areas, have exhibited every form of dis? turbance known to the solar physicist, and every degree ot light, from tbe a .parent black? ness (in reality only relative) of the nuclei, to the intense brilliancy of the ficnlouB ndgee. And we oow know that these appearances are not merely mattera for the curious, with which, as they happen at a die' ance of above ninety millions of miles, practical men need not con? cern themselves. THE GOLDEN STATE. A Cnroii nia n'i I mp i eastons of Bau Fran? oise o-How the City ls Striding For? ward in wealth and importance- \ Wonderful People. It wie announced in THE NEWS a few months sgo that a number of Carolinians bad departed from their native State to make their home in California. Colonel John G. Press ley, who was one of tbe party, writes a very interesting letter to the Kingst ree Star, giving his impressions of the metropolis of the Paci? fic coast. He says: This is a land wbere wonders never cease. No one from our sober and staid old State ran visit San Francisco without being astonished at the strange things which be sees. You have been in the mountains; well, jost select tbe most rugged an j unpromising place you can think ot for the site of a city and jon have the seat of the Queen City cf the West. The energy, industry and enterprise of the people are perfectly wonderful. Wbat do yon think of having preaching in afine church, and bearing tho announcement tbat "preaching at the usual hoar may be expected in tbis house on next Sunday, but tbe house will be found a half mile away on another street. This I heard and saw. At any tune one may see half a dozen booses in the course of a morning's walk movioe through the streets, sometimes with families and all their household goods in thom. Tnia is occasioned by the rapid rise ia real estate. A house of ordinary proportions is erected and in a few years, perhaps months, tbe land becomes too valuable to nave any other than a verv fine building on it; away goes tbe first occupant, to make room for a more stately and commo? dious st met ur e, to the suburbs where it stands till the march of improv ment dislodges it and sendrt it further on. Nothing stands ia the way of the progress of this great city; moun? tains are cut down, the sea is filled up. and onward, onward, is the watchword. Large ships a few years ago landed their cargoes near where tho L'ck House now stands, one of tbe most magnificent hotels in the world, on Montgomery-street, where land is now worth $2700 a front foot and which is three-fourths of a mile from the present water front. A large creek once ran op lo that point. My childish conception of a street was that it was a sort of staircase. I have seen tho realization of this idea. The sidewalks on roany of tje streets are staircases, a mountain happens to be in the way, the street goes over and the houses go up, and there they stand till the people are reidy tn have the mountain come down. Tbe street is theo cut through, and sometimes the blocks of laud left for some time longer. Ia o e or two places streets may be seen from fifty lo ooe hundred feet below the booses. Ooe unfortunate indi? vidual was killed a short time ago who tum? bled from the sidewalk toto the street. Wb o the hill is cot too s eep the street is graded, and planked with pieces nailed across on the plan kine to prevent Blipping. The most of the city is built in the Talley between these hills and mountains, and much of it is made land, but the fiat land has loug since been filled and the city has c>ne over the adjacent bills and mountains. Land at this time m the suburbs almost inaccessible com mauds fabulous pricer. I weat with a gentleman engaged io land spec? ulations to look at a piece of land fifty by ooe hundred-aad tsealy feet ia size. We found that we could not drive a horse and buggy up the side of the hill presenting the roost grad? ual slope. This lot was held at $659. I Baw a b'ock of land io tbe same vicinity containing about two acres, but easy of approach, which, last Bummer was bought for 15000. It now sells for $14 000 OJ the outskirts of the own nothing so strikes tbe attention ot the strang? er as the great number of new buildings going up. It reminds one of a vast army receiving reinforcements, which build as they pi tc J their teu'8. Vast sums of money are being realized in land speculations. The question with tho speculator ie not whether the property offered for sale will fall, bufwhicb piece of property will rise in value most rapidly. Numerous horse railroads penetrate the city, and these are run several miles from the heart of the town, BO that one may live a loos distance from his place of boniness. Bents are BO higb in the older parts of the city that this is a necessity with all of tbe small operators. Ia the sub? urb* comfortable houses can be bad at from $15 to $50 a month. The fear of earthquakes was not before the eyes of the people when San Francisco was built. The public build ings, hotels and private residences are an honor to any city. The damage done by the great earthquake of 1868, was either greatly over estimated, or the present condition of tue city indicates tbe most' inconceivable thrift Its effects cannot be perceived by a stranger. A few cracks ia the walls of some of tbe larg? est buildings are the only signs that can now be pointed oat. The terror of the inhabitants during the con valsions beggars description, but very few were iu aay way injured. The highest number, according to the account which on now heart,, is six, and one of them io bis ter ror jumped out cf a throe story window. The others were killed by the tailing of cornices None of the bnildiogs ware tnrowa entirely down. The people of San Francisco are the most hospitable with whom a stranger often meets They seem to ba more ready to assist strangers than any people whom I have ever seen. Stop any of them and ask for directions or informa? tion, and the moment they Sod oat that yon are a stranger they go out of the r way to serve you, and never give one a short answer as business men in large cities are too prone to do. The deference and respect shown to ladies in the street cars, in public assemblies, and on public conveyances reminds one of Charleston in her days bf g lian try, when the sentiment of the community was co .trolled by the .south en gentleman. The climate of all the coast reston of Califor? nia is delightful. There are no extremes of heat or cold. Nobody wears summer clothing, aud yet a blanket is necessary every night, from our country woald think that a heavy Sometimes fogs come over the city, and one shower would fall in a few minutes, but very soon the fog disappears and the sun comes out bright and beautiful. The further from the coast the fewf r of these fogs that are seen, and after crossing a range of mountains tbey never mako their appearance. Everything which money can put chase or taste require can be had in San Francisco, and the prices of most tl. i ogs are surprisingly low. Boar J can be had in first claes boardinghouses at from"il to $150. The hotels charge from $2 50 to ti. Restaurants of the finest kind, where every luxury known to tbe cuisine can be found, are very plenty, and one can hire a furnished room and live cheaper tban ia aay city I hav9 ever bseo ia oa tbe At latte coast. There are a great many tilings which a stranger 6ees to interest bim, and which I might write to you about, but I suppose your readers will cot care to be bored aay longer now, and, if agrees bio. I will, in another lotter, have more to say about that city, and something about the produc? tiveness of tbe country, price of land. kc. I will only add now that I bave found tho most highly colored accounts, which I heard befoie bere, true, and still more wonderful ones of the richness of the country can bo told. BATTLE OF THE BISHOPS. Bishop Cummins and Bishop Whlte lionae-Their t ont t overs y. The contest between Bishop Hanry J. White? house, of Illinois, and Bishop George D. Cum? mins, of Kentucky, has become exceedingly warm. The notoriously liberal views of B shop Cum? mins are so offensive to Bishop Wh tehouse, tnat the former was repeatedly urged not to preach within the Diocese of Illinois. Failing in this request, Bishop Whitehouse gave spe? cial instructions to the pastors ia his charge to forbid Mr. Cummins toe use of their pulpits. In spite of these instructions, the latter has preached several times in Chicago, and was re? cently invited to-fid the pulpit of Triuitv Church in that city during the absence of its rector. The H?nen Bishop thereupon wrote a very sharp note to the Kentucky Bishop, protesting violently against his accepting the invitation. "It baa involved," be says, ' the direct issue before that bodv, whether the ear neat advice ot the Bishop should be followed, not to ventare oa this dangerous coarse; or whether, in defiance of that counsel, an invi? tation should be extended to you. which, with full knowledge of the facts, you bave solicited. This is connected wit h a train of interference in my Diocese-of official and personal attack ou myself-which has largely tended to disturb ita harmony and create veted questions of springing bitterness. The aggression of last winter, against which a protest was raised in vain, not only by myself, bat by the oaanimous voie? of the Standing Committee, might have an explanation of some weight in your esteem. 1 he contmaed aggression of the present can admit of none. It has degenerated into inci? dents whioh subject yon lo imputations of ma? le volent feeling as well as the disregard bf j what is gentlemanly and courteous." Bishop Cummins has; writ ten a letter to the Chicago Tribune explaining the situation. He ?as fn menv pastor of Trinity Church himself. On the first of July he received an invitation to fill the pulpit in the absence of the rector, end accented by telegraph; He preaehed there on July 1, a sermon delivered previously n Once Church, New York, in which the Tiru- j aliBtic tendencies' of the choreb,?were deplored. Bishop Whitehouse called upon a warden ol the church on July 12, and asked that Bishop Cummins should not be allowed ro preach again. The vestry being called together, were warned that they bad no r gut to hare any one preach in their church to whom their Bishop objected. The canons ot the church upon the matter are to D plain to admit of a doubt. They provide that, in tb> sbseaoe of a rector of a church, the church wardens and vestrymen, or a majority of them, may "invite any clergyman of this church (Canon 2, Title I, Section 6) to offici?t e for thom, only taking care that they have sufficient evidence of hts being duly ordained to mhaistsr in this church." (Canonll, Title!) Had the ves? try yielded to the demand made upon them, they would have affixed a stigma of disgrace upon a former rector and a bishop of tbe church. This the veetiy absolutely refused to do, and again invited Bishop Cummins to jccupy their pulpit. This aotion brooght ont the letter frett Bishop Whitehouse, which we have quoted above. I i ssw i ?-H?U?_ THE. CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. _ ? " - . Organization Of the Company. A letter from Greensboro', N. C., dated the 26th instant, to the Baltimore Gazette, say?: The Central North Carolina Railroad Com puny, which is to connect Greensboro' with Cberaw, and when the Lvnchburgand Danville Koa J is built will open up a direct interior line. From Baltimore to Charlestob, was organized here on Friday, Joly 23d, under ils charter granted by the last Legislature of Noah Caro? lina. The following gentlemen were elected directors of the company : J. H. pa vis and J 3. Spencer, of Montgomery County; Hon 0. H. Dockerey. or Bichmond County; Dr. J. M. Worth, or Randolph County; J. 8. Ryan, of | Charleston City; General Byron Laflin. of Pitt Coon tv, and G. W. Welkes, X. B. Keogh, John Crane; D. W. C. Benbow, a. W. Tnurgee, and Louis Z mme:, of Guilford County. The lat? ter was elected presideot. The first annual.meeting of the stockholders will take place in Ashboro'. Randolph County. North Carolina, twenty-four miles trorssahere. on the second Tuesday in October neil, and theo the organization will be put ou a solid footing by the election of directors and officers for the next year. This is done to give the stock which may be subscribed between now md then, either in money, land or labor, a voice in tbe permanent organization of tho company, and it is hoped that tbe City of Balti? more will be represented at that tims. Mr. J. S. Byan, of Charleston, th:nks that his city will assist ns with $100 OOO in securities for itock in our road; Montgomery County. N. C.. will give us a 150,000 county subscription, and Bandolph Couuty $100 000. Besides this, we can surely count on 200 000 acres of land in ex abanes for stock, ?tan averge of two dollars per acre, as per assessment of 1890k As soon is the road is graded Mr. J. 8. RyarTwUlUke the bonds of the county at par, and turnTsh cross-ties, iron, rolling stock and depot bouses to commence operations, arrangements will be made with some banking house in Balti? more to open books of sub scrip iou in a few Weese. L. THE SEA SERPENT, AG A IX. Ibo Ole Storr. James Andrews, a Jerseyman and a fisher of porgies and the like in Newera bay, a person of aound sense, good steady habits, not st all given to gros, and not possessed of an unusual share or imagination, has just had the privilege of a sight of the Bea serpent. The following is bis story ai told by tbe Newark (N. J.) Courier : Mr. Andrews states that on Sunday afternoon last, he was r 2turning from Elizibethport in bis ooat, a small affair, capable of carrying only four or five persons, and after he bad passed ander tbe Central dailroad bridge, and rowed, as he thinks, about a mile up the bay, hts atten? tion became at fint attracted by an unusual com? motion in the water about two hundred yards in advance ot tbe boat. Curions SB to this un? usual agitation, he rested upon bis oars and watched for a few moments the spot, which was strongly marked by the waves and foam, when, to his great enrpr.ea and terror, the head of a monster, as large as a flour barrel, and*baving something or tho appearance of a dog's head, appeared above the water. It stretched away along (he surface, and a black scaly back lifted itself gradually from the water on til it appeared, according to Mi. An? drews, twice the length ol an ordinary schoon? er. It swam casi'y and with but little motion, occasionally raising its bead three or fo~r feet above the eurface with that peculiar sinuosity common to the snake tribe, suddenly, with a tremeiiduous splashing, it disappeared from sieht, leaving behind it a large area of seeth ms foam. Mr. Andrews ackuowledscs himself to have been "scared almost to dos tb" at the si^ Lt, and aoo'it came to the conclusion, so he says, that ho was to be eaten alive. Iodeed, his pres? ence of mind so far foroo ik him that he drop? ped both oats and bad some difficulty in re coverii g tl em. Hann- secured them, how? ever, by means of a small paddle wine: for? tunately remaiued in tho bottom of the boat, ha undertook to row across the bay, but he had procceeded hat a short distance when a terrible splashing fiom behind caused him to turn sroand, and there, as be solemly asserts, within a dozen var s of bim, was the head of the monster high up above the surface; and, to add ali the more to his terror, it opened irs hideous jaW3 and darted a foiked tongue di? rectly at him. To employ the language used by Andrews himself, "the next thing he knew, be didn't know anything." meaning thereby that his terror was so great he apparently lost consciousness. That was the last he saw ot the sea serpent (which he most assuredly be? lieves it tc*have been, and which certainly tal? lies with the desenpti ms already given.) and be inloims us that immediately thereafter be probably did some of the "tallest rowing" that has ever been witnessed in Ne wai k Say. AFFAIRS TN THE STATE. Greenville. Mr! H. C. Hack, who for several years pael bas filled the position or mail agent on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad has been appointed Assistant Assessor ot Internal Rev? enue lor Greenville. Sumter. A negro woman was receutly found dead on the plantation of Colonel John B. Moore, near the potato pa*ch of Air. Osias Mathis, who is living on the place. A jury of inquest was empanelled by Mr. C. M. Hurst, acting c iro? ner, and found a verdict to the effect that the death waa caused by two gun-shot wounds, fired from behind by s uns person, not posi? tively known to the jury. Mr. Matine has been arrested, but wo understai-d is ready to give bail. Two English gentlemen, Messrs John B. Rogers and John Oweos, have purchased from Mr. T. C. Richardson tho Bloomhill plantation, about four thousand acres. Bloomhill ie a few m?es from Manchester, on the Wateres River. It is a place of considerable his:one interest. During the Revolution it was owned by Gener? al Wm. Richardson, and was the headquarters of General Greene, also, at d?n?rent periods, ot Generals Cornwallis and Rawdon. A body of Tones was attacked by patriots at Saank's Creek, in the neighborhood. During the re? cent war it was at this place that the flag of truce reach :d General Potter, aud terminated hostilities just m time to save another uselees battle. Union. Mount Joy, Union County, South Carolina, bas been established as a new postoffice, Smith vs cod, po* (mister. Henry Dawkins, a negro, was accidently drowned on Saturday, 24th inst., iu Enoree River. He wes bathiog at toe time, and it is Bupposed that be stepped into deep water, and berne unable to swim, was drowned. Henry was in the employ of u. S. Lee, Esq., and is represented to have been a fait cf ni, correct and upright man. The Urionvilie Times says : "R. C. Farr, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, has been deprived of bis office, and J. Magill Fleming, the A adi tor of Spart anburg, bas been ont in his place. To acoomodate Mr. Fleming, Spartan Imrg has been added to tbie collection district. We suppose the political opimors of Mr. Farr and Mr. Floraras account for tbe change." A most unfortunate altercation in the Main street of Union, on Thnreday last, between John Sanders and T. J. Greer, resnlted in tbe shooting of tba latter by the former. Sanders then walked down the s treet with a pistol in his band, went through the hack door of tbe hotel, and escaped. Ha ia still at lar<e. The. ball entered the left sids of Mr. Greer's stomach, below the heart, and buried itself m hts body. The wound is severe and dan? gerous, bat his friends entertain hopes of bis recovery.

CONDITION OF THE COTTON TRABE [From the London bhipping Gazette. 1 The cotton trade is still in a very peculiar position. The Btrue gie between Liverpool and Manchester, which has been going oa for so long a time, has resulted in the partial defeat of the latter. The position of the raw material is statistically strong, while the stocks of cot? ton goods throughout the world have been greatly reduced in consequence of the restrict? ed eipoi ts from this country. Holders of raw cotton have been farther favored hythe fact that mooey has continued cheap, which has given them a considerable ad van ta sro in the contest with the spinners. There is very little doubt, h J we ver, that the lattor have pursued the right policy in limiting their purchases to the utmost extent, and they may not have cause to regret having done sa The restricted consumption which has been going on bas impar.ed a healthy tooe to both the Liverpool and Manchester markets, and more activity may be anticipated in b ith, nm il at least present wants bave been applied. The immediate cause of the return of activity is the condition of the Eastern mar? ket, which mast, by this time, be pretty bare of goods. The shipments to India, as we have frequently pointed oat, have been on an unu? sually small scale for some time past, and al? together oat of proportion to the requirements of so large a population. Oa the other band, the exports to China have been greatly oa the increase. These, however, have been rapidly absorbed, especially so far as the Northern ports are concerned-a fact which goes far to prove that "-e are as yet unaware of the great capabilities of the Cbina market, trade with which would almost appear to be in its in? fancy. The American markets bave also . shared in the improved feeling, not, however,'from aa exhaustion of stocks, which are at present sufficiently large, bat rather from the growing belief that cotton must continue to advance in consequence cf tbe altered aspect of aflaus. From oouth America, too. the reports are such as to lead to the belief tb at, oow that politics have assumed a more peaceful attitude, the usual supplies of cottoo goods will be requ red. From this changed position of tbe cottoo goods market, it u evideot that an increased demand for raw cottoo may be anticipated. It is difficult to see, however, bow any great? ly increased demand can be satisfied oat of present ress ar ce s. The quantity ot cotton on hand in Liverpool is very small, having oolv in? creased by 13,700 bales since the opening of the year. It may be notad that the average stock held twenty years ended 1866 was no less ttaa 747,000 bales, tbe quantity on band at tbe present time being 865 600, or leas than half that amount. Even if we take the cuse of the last three years, the stock is at aa un? usually low eob. ZT- Joly, 1866, the quantity held was 1,020 000 bales; io 1867, 738.000; and io 1868, 60S OOO-the average being 788 000 bales. It bas, however, been gradu? ally declining, until it has reached the present lew figure. But any increase in consomption would force prices up to such a point as to prohibit shipments of goods to any great ex tent, and we doubt if the foreign markets are yet sufficient denuded of goods to allow of any material lacrease ia prices abroad. For this reason we incline to the belief (hat the activity which has lately set in through the Manches? ter market is of a temporary nature, and will not be maintained in the fice of a continued rise ia the pnce of the raw m iteri al. _Spmal m*\kts. ??-ROUSE TUB SYSTEM -IT IS A SAL thing to pa? through life only half alive. Yet there arethouaaoda whose habitual condition ii one ot langonr and debility. Th ey complain of no specific disease; they aufler no positive pain; but they bave no relish for anything which affords mental or sen? sual pleasure to their more robust and energetic fellow-beings. In nine ca es out of ten this state of lassitude and torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indigestion destroys the energy of both mud and body. When the waste of nature ia not supplied by a dnc an 1 regular assimilation of tho io jd, every organ is starved, every function Interrupted. Now, what does common sense suggest under these circumstances of depression ? The system nee- H rousing and strengthening; not merely for au hour or two, to sink afterward into a more pitiable condition than ever, (aa it assuredly would do if on ordinary alcoholic slimu'ant were resorted to,) but radi.ally and perruaneut'y.
