Mr. Cooper's new work " The Headsman"
is of a high order of genius. The incidents, descriptions,
and dialogues, are very interesting ; and towards the con-
elusion a breathless suspense is created, which is kept up
to the very last page. Several of the characters—par-
ticularly the Headsman and his wife, and a dissolute,
smuggling seaman, whose noble nature breaks through
the darkness of his acquired dispositions—are finely con-
ceived and sustained. Cooper's powers, as a painter of
sea pieces, are displayed in a description of the voyage of
a small bark, and a storm, on the Lake of Geneva. In
sublimity and interest, this part of the work hardly yields

We have received this morning files of papers
and letters to the 16th November, from Charleston, and
the 15th, from Savannah. The Charleston Courier, of
the 14th November, gives the following as the state of the
Cotton Market, in its semi-weekly report:—
" CorroN.—The business done in this article has been full
as large as could have been expected, taking into consideration
the very unsettled state of the market. The sales of Uplands
have reached, probably, about 3,000 bags, principally at 131 to
141 cents. Purchasers have gradually pressed upon holders
for a reduction, which has been very reluctantly acceded to,
until it may now be quoted at from 131 to 141 cents., and
choice planters' lots only will command the highest Price- Yes-
terday there was more disposition to sell than had been
pre-
viously evinced, and selections of common prime store
lots can
be obtained at 14 to 141 cents."
