REVIEW OF THE NEW YORK MARKET, JULY J.
(FOR THREE DAYS PRECEDING.)
ASHES continue to sell freely on arrival at 4 dollars for Pots,
and 4 dollars 30 for Pearls. The stock is unusually small for
the season.

COTTON.—By the ship New York advices have been re-
ceived from Liverpool to 26th May. The sales there the last
two days had been less extensive, but prices were firm. By
the ship France we have accounts from Havre to 24th May.
The business there had been at a decline of 5 to 7 centimes ;
on the 24th there was more done, and the market was firm.
Stock on hand 40,343 bales of all sorts. The sales here have
been at very full prices, and we advance our quotations to the
rates which are now established. The celebration of the na-

tion's birth-day (4th of July), however, has left less space for
business, and the sales since our last have only been about
600 bales of Upland at 12 to 12f cents, and 200 Florida and
Alabama, 12- a 141, including a few bales of the latter at 15}
cents; making a total for the week of 1,600 bales.
FLOUR AND MEAL.—In our last publication we noticed a
little improvement, but the market has since become very lan-
guid, and prices are now no better than they were two weeks
since.

GRAlN.—There have been some further arrivals of Wheat,
but we did not hear of any sales. The last sale of Western,
within our knowledge, was at 106 cents for a very handsome
quality. Corn and Rye remain without change, and but lit-
tle in market. A sale of handsome Maryland Corn was made
at 66 cents.

TOBACCO.—We have heard of no sales worth reporting.
WooL.—The new clip begins to appear ; but prices are
not well settled yet.
FREIGHTS.—No improvement ; Cotton to Liverpool, in
round bales, is taken at id.

AUGUSTA MARKET.—JULY 28.
Cotton is not selling quite so high as it was the first day
the accounts of the 21st ult. were received; however, a fair
business continues to be done at 11 a 124. General sales of
fair crops are made at 12 a 121 d. cents per lb.

NEW •ORLEANS MARKETS. JUNE 21.

COTTON.—Arrived since the 13th instant, 3,883 bales
Cleared, in the same time, 11,797 bales, leaving a stock of
40,411 bales. We estimate the sales of the week at about
3,000 bales, of which we have been made acquainted with the
following, viz. :-152 bales at 125, 300 at 13, 17 at 12, 18 at
115 d, of Lousiana and Mississippi—of Tennessee and North
Alabama, 90 at 12, 122 at 124, 400 at 12, 110 at 111,
200 at 19, 800 at 121, 112 at 12+, 14 at 104- ; and 24 bales
Florida at 12 cents. The demand continued fair, and the
small quantity now coming in is taken on arrival. Our quo-
tations for the lower descriptions of Louisiana and Mississippi
have been slightly advanced, -to correspond to sales, which,
however, as will be perceived by our statement above, have been
comparatively trifling, as the market is entirely destitute of
that description of cottons. The quotations for other descrip-
tions are not changed, but the sales of the week have generally
been at a small advance. _ _

TOBACCO.—The sales are comprised in the transfer of 175
hhds. from second hands, at an advance of from * a 4 cent on
quotations. The small quantity actually in the market for
sale precludes operations to any extent.—Arrived this week
667 hhds. Cleared 1,168 hhds.

. -
FLOUR.—Former prices continue current ; the consumption
about keeps pace with the arrivals.
FREIGHTS.—The rates for freight to Liverpool are still fur-
ther reduced ; present quotations are, for Cotton per lb. id.
a id., and but little offering. Other quotations, except for
Sugar, per hhd. to northern ports, from the coast; which are
reduced to 4 dollars a 4,25, remain without change, but as
heretofore, nominal.—(Levy's Price Current.)

PETERSBURGH, JULY 3.
COTTON,—Seareely any has arrived this week. The sales
reported arc 13 131, and a lot to a manufacturer at I 3A- cents.
WHEAT.—None of the new crop yet received. A few sales
have been made at 114 cents to be delivered very soon.
Tonecco.—Common passed, 5 to 7 ; middling to good, 8 to

1,050.

AMERICAN CURRENCY.
GOLD.—We give our readers to day a Table of the Rates
at which foreign and domestic Gold Coins have been selling
in this country, at the times specified .
Eagles. Sp. Doub.
January 4, 1828 dollars 10 60 dollars 16 45
March 1
Alay 3 lO 60 16 12
January 6, 1829 — 10 70 16 15
May 4 - 18 621 16 00
January 9, 1830 -- 10 40 16 00
May 6, 1831

March 3, 1833 - 10 44 16 95 -
April 5 - 17 37
May ° - 17 41'.
January 2, 183-1 — 10 30 16 55
May 7 — 10 30 . 16 25
Thus it will be seen that from January, 1828, up to Janu.
ary, 1832, a period of four years, the average value of the
eagle was 16 dollars 60 cents., and that since the removal of
tlie deposits it has been reduced to 10 dollars 30 cents. What
good friends the present Administration have been to the gold
miners of the South, whom they are now attempting to gain
by the credit they are taking for the Gold Bill. The average
value of the Spanish doubloon for six years has been 16 dol-
lars 42 cents. We believe that by adding one per cent. to the
average value of gold for the last six years, we shall have its
correct proportion to silver as near as the changeable nature of
their relative values will admit. This would make the eagle
worth 10 dollars 60 cents. .

TIIE MOORS IN SCOTLAND.—The steam-ships
that have sailed during the past and present week for Scotland
had full complements of passengers for the Highlands. Shoot-
ing commences on the 12th current, and capital sport is anti-
cipated. Game was • never more plentiful The Dundee
steam-ship sails this forenoon, with a great number of distill,
guished sportsmen, for the Highland hills.
EFFECT OF FEAR ON A TIGER.---A correspon.
dent transmits us the following curious anecdote, extracted
from a letter received from India :____During the dreadful storm
and inundation in Bengal in May, 1833, the estates of a
Mr. Campbell, situated on the island of Saugur, at the en-
trance of the river Hoogly, suffered so greatly, that out of
three thousand people living on his grounds only six or /Ova
hundred escaped, and these principally by clinging to the roof
and ceiling of his house. When the house was in this close-
crammed state, with scarcely room within it for another indivi-
dual, what should come squeezing and pushing its way into
tile interior of the house but an immense tiger, with his tail
hanging down, and exhibiting every other symptom of exces-
sive fear. Having reached the room in which Mr. Campbell
was sitting, he nestled himself into one of the corners and lay,
down like a large Newfoundland dog. Mr. Campbell loadod
his gun in a very quiet manner,audslaat him dead collie :pot."
