The folldWihg tirciWir Which lias been ? issued by a ttoilste in tihllrtestonv has been handed us for publication* The pi*ice of cotton wilt probably hot exceetr-^scme suppose it will not equal that put down in the circular* Charleston, Atigtsl 27/h, 1841. Accordingly to otir annual custom, we take this bpp^tdrtlty of addressing you with our views and opinions respecting the prospect of the growing crop of Cot. toit; we do so in the belief that it is ex. pected by you, and it will fail in predicting the ruling prices of the Article throughout the season, it will only be ad. ding another to the many instances in which a mistake has been made on this abject The stock of American and other descriptions Of Cottox in England, on the 3d inst, was 749,000 bales (equal to seven month consumption, working full time) against 511,000 at the same period last year, being an excess of 158,000 bales; this great increase moreove^ is in the face of a deficiency, in the imports during ' the same period, of 210,000 bales, shew. ' a falling off in the consumption far great* ?p than could have been expected by any one, and io attributable, we think, m part to the long continued bad state of trade io all the maufacturiogdistricts, the limited demand, and low prices of Goods and Yarns, of which the stocks are large, and the difficulties with China which still ex?*t, by which the trade with that ^ountrv, (one of the largest markets for Cotton Goods) is cut off, hut principally in our opinion to the prices of the raw material which has ranged during the last six month from to two cents per lb. higher 4 than at the same time last year. When the Spinners took at least from 5,000 to ? 0,OOn hales per week more than they do now, for we find that then notwithstanding, we had a crop of over 2,100,000 of hates, of which 1,800,000 was exported to Europe; their stocks at the close of last year was than it wi!! probably be at the close of this; although tb^y received from us then, about 60;),000 more than they will get out of this crop, this result, togather with the experience of the two years previous, confirms us in our opinion that the production of Cotton has less to do with the price than the consumption thereof, and that if the crop is ever so large, it will be consumed if prices are low, but if otherwise they will resort to hort time rather than pay more than a certain value for the article. By the Steamer Columbia, at Boston, ? ? . ? we have accounts f rom Liverpool to cne 3d, and from Havre to tbe 1st inst. the . advices from the former are very unfavourable, much more so than was anticipated. In the two weeks previous Cotton had declined, from an l-8i to l-4i . per lb., and even at this reduction the , market closed heavily; the state of trade was represented as worse ever, and the harvest which heretofore had promise to he unusually food, is said to be backward, and great fears have entertained that it may prove an unfavorable one, the quotationa were 4i-4d a Id per lb., or equal to 71-2 a 101-2 Cents; in Franco, and on the Continent a better state of things existed, The Spinners were in full operation, at the same time prices were not much, if wny, higher than in Kngland; the bad weather, however, hnd|materially affected the crops of Grain, which have an impor tant bearing upon every branch of the manufacturing interest. ^ It is to be hoped that these accounts are somewhat exaggerated, and that they have represented the condition of worse than they really are, and that as soon as the harvesting is over, it will prove to he much better than was anticipated, this, together with a revival of trade, which we cannot but believe, will ere long ensue, and be of permanent duration, will give an impetus to the consumption of Cotton, and although wo connot lead you to expect high prices this year, still we believe the bulk of the crop will be freely disposed of at from 8 a 10 cents, at which rates we are inclined to think that it will he freely consumed, both at home and abroad. The ftrst few hundred bales of new crop, will probably command 11 cents for the Northern and French mar. kets, but as it comes to market freely- it will vary but little from what we have named. unless the weather for the next two months should be very unfavourable, and an early frost produce another short crop, in which case, as the season advances, it may have some effect.

Nsw York, August 28. >V;i The members of the Custom-house Commission closed their labors yesterday, and departed for Washington. Previous to leaving the citv they addressed a joint note to tins Collector of the Port, Mr. Cur;tia, stating that the charges and insinuations made against him have turned out perfectly groundless, and expressing their opinion of the indebtedness of the Governeminent to Mr. C. for the great reform introduced hy him into the Custom-house of this city, not the least part of which is the greatly lessened expenses of the department. ? A report, industriously circulated by | the Canada press, that il/cLeod is in close i confinement heavily ironed, is contradic-1 1 ted by one of the Utica papers, which says j that McLe d is in jail, it is true, but so (far from being heavily ironed, he is not even confined to the jail rooms, but spends unost of his time in the parlor of the jail, or's house, receiving company, and other?wise enjoying bimseif as a gentleman - ofleisute of the first water" among us.

DURABLK RATI WAYS. * This important desideratum in the con* struction of Rail Roads has, at length been attained so that not merely an "iron' ribbed" road, but the entire superstructure of that material may now be considered as practicable. This improvement combines economy, durability, and beauty, | and is the invention of Mr. J. Spaulding and Mr. Isherwood, practical engineers on the NewYotkand Erie Rail Road. Two arches, of ten feet each., of this invention is now in use on the Ithaca and Oswego Rail Road, half a mile west of this village, over which the regular trains pass every day, we understand that a branch road from Factoryville, in this I country, to the Pennsylvania line, four ' miles in length, is forthwith to be constructed on this plan, and the castings ate now being made. This invention is of great importance. It will produce an entire revolution in the construction of* Rail" Roads, as it can be built cheaper than the common mode, and its durability is beyond computation. It will open a new market for the immense beds of ore with which our country abounds, and obviate the necessity, now unavoidable, of depending upon England for rails. All who have examined the piece in operation are struck with its simplicity, beauty and strength?its advantages are incalulable. Owego Adv. From the St. Augustine News. Indian Intelligence?Twenty.seven Indians of Tigertail's and Aleck 's bands, came in at Tampa a few days since, and surrendered, having left their hostile chiefs. Capt. Alexander, 0lh Infantry, with a part of his Regiment, discovered one of Tigertail's camps, recently, in the Ho. mascassa Hammock, and destroyed a field of corn?the last one, so said the Indian guide, belonging to that chief. Lieut. Rogers, of the Dragoons, pur. sued an Indian the other day, on horse* back, and finding some difficulty in draw, ing his sword, actually rode over him and took him prisoner. Capt. Gwinn, 8th Infantry, with his Company, captured three of Tigertail's warriors, a few days since, and sent them to Tampa. He was, by last accounts, in pursuit of a large party to which those warriors belonged. All the above are in addition to the 27 Indians already reported as coming in at Tampa. Such a week's success, if con. tinued, as this, will soon gather all the re. mainder of the hostile bands still loft in Florida.

The child was taken sick, and it was deemed neces sary to give it some castor oil; accordingly the mother proceeded to the drug store of Dr. Armstrong, in Sixth street above Pine, to procure this medicine; the Doctor was absent, and his wife, probably in the hurry of the moment, delivered to the mother a bottle containig Croton oil. On her return home, this was immediately given to the child, which expired about two hours after. It is stated, in addition, that as soon as the child was dead, Dr. Armstrong (who is a Thomsonian] gnvoa certificate, stating that the child died of culvulsions, told the mother to (jbury it as soon as possible, and not"to say any thing about it.1 mmessaBemBsSBimBBaBm * r' i * > i On* Hundred Years m Prison ?

A Shower of Flesh and Blood, 'There ere more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in yonr philosophy,*' Thu9 spake the Prince of Denmark, and every day we hear of somet hing tov confirm the remark. On Tuesday we heard from various persons that a shower, ajrparently of flesh and blood, had fallen in nmintlf HOO P T.aK,ll/in III |K|S ff II9UII V>UUUi V f livui ? * State, and that the fields were covered to a considerable extent. The account stag, gered our belief; but, strange as it may appear, it has been confirmed by the statement of several gentleman of high character, who have personally examined the scene of this phenomenon. They state that the space covered by this ex* traordinary shower is half a mile in length and about seventy five yards in width. In addition to the information just received, we have|been favored by Dr. Tioost, pro. fessor of chemistry in the University of Nashville, with the following letter from a highly respectable physician of Lebanon. We have aUo seen the specimens sent to him for examination. To us they appear to he animal matter, and the oder is that of putrid flesh. We do not pretend to oflT. er any theory to account for this pheno* menon ; we leave that to abler and more scientific hands.

From the extent of surface over which it has spread, and the regular manner it exhibited on some green to. bacco leaves, leaves very little or no doubt of its having fallen like a shower of rain; and it is stfeted, on the authority of some negroes, only, to "have fallen from a small red cloud?no other clouds visible in the heavens at the time.

A colored man rescued the child, but the ferocious brute immediately renewed the attack, and so pertinacious was it for victory, that it became actually necessary to kill the hog in order to save the life of the child. A Snake StoryA Mpisen sarpent" story greater than any told since the days of "Leftetiant Carter's only son," is told by the editor of the Mills Point Herald. Not long since* says that editor, a neighbor of his, a farmer in the same count)', awoke and felt a rold and slimy body crawling over his hand, he jumped out ofbed. The noise awoke his wife, who likewise left her couch. On making light, they discoverca nn immense rattlesnake in bed measuring, after it was killed six feet and having seven rattles. The alarm and fright this unwelcome visitor occasioned, of course, drove away all idea of sleep for the balance of the night. As soon as daylight dawned the farmer opened the door and discovered another lArge snake lying on the door steps?he killed the same with the .fire tongs. He then approached the 8tabla9 to feed his horses, there he again saw another snake; he pursued it saw it enter a hole near an old stump. He immediately sent his son for some of his neighbors. On their ar. rival they dug down near the stump and found * den of anakes, all coiled up to. gether; all of which they killed. On counting them, they found that they had destroyed forty six rattle-snakes of all sixes?from eight inches to five feet long ?which, with the two killed in the house, made the enormous amount offortyeight. ?? ?
