AMERICAN MARKETS.

The following expose of the state of the cotton trade ap-
pears to us to possess considerable interest :
(Circular. ) Charleston, S. C. Sept. 1829.
. Sir,—l take this early opportunity of giving you a view
of our cotton market for the past season, as well as the
prospect for the coming crop.
The old crop is nearly exhausted, what little remains
unsold is principally of inferior quality, and now selling
at prices ranging from 7 to 9 cents; strictly prime is
very scarce, and might bring 10 to 101 cents for small lots.
The prospect as to prices for the coming crop at this
moment is certainly not flattering, although the market was
more steady in Europe, by the last accounts, than at any
former period during the season. It can hardly, however,
be expected, that the prices for the new crop will advance,
as the consumption has not increased ; the stock of cotton
in Europe is quite sufficient for the demand ; the last year's
crop in the United States has increased near 200,000 bales
over that of the preceding year. From this view of the
subject, and a general belief that a full crop of Upland
Cotton will be made this year in the United States, I can-
not flatter you with the hope of receiving for your present
crop over 10 to 10 cents for strictly prime quality. I
have observed for the last few years, that the early Fall

Market is the best, as our northern factories want and
must to vi an early supply of prime new Upland.

Total amount of the crop of 1828
and 1829 44,269 844,123
From the above statement it appears that the United
States alone furnishes 844,123 bales Upland cotton, ex-
clusive of 44,269 bales of Sea Islands; malting a total ex-
port of cotton of 888,392 bales.
The whole consumption of cotton in Europe is estimated
at 1,210,000 bales, including all descriptions—viz.
Great Britain BOO,OOO
France 230,000
Other European Ports 60,000
United States

1,210,000

It would appear from the statements, that the growth
of Cotton in the United States alone is fully equal to three-
fourths of the consumption of Europe and 'the United
States together ; add to this the supplies from the East
Indies, Egypt, and other cotton countries, averaging at
least one half of the above, and it will strike your mind
at once that the stock will most generally, if not always,
exceed the demand ; for the average stock in Europe for
the last three years, to supply any accidents which might
occur to the growing crops, exceeds 400,000 bales.
This view, however discouraging to the planter, is
nevertheless true, and requires the strictest economy to
make both ends meet. We now begin to experience the
effects of the tariff of 1828, and, unless it is repealed or
altered, it will be felt with double the force this time twelve
months.

England is divided into Provinces, Canter-
bury and York, governed by the Archbishops ; and each
Province is sub-divided into Dioceses, governed by the
Bishops. When a man dies leaving all his property in
one Diocese, the Bishop of that Diocese grants a Probate
or Administration. If his property be in two Dioceses,
then neither Bishop can grant Probate or Administration ;
it must be done by the Archbishop of the Province in
which those Dioceses are situate. But if a man die
leaving property in the two Provinces of Canterbury and
York—what happens then? why the two Archbishops
are such great men, that they cannot tell which is the
greater, and as neither will give way, the executors or
next of kin must take out probate of the will or letters of
administration in bo•h provinces. Snell is the law. Should
it remain so ! Receipts given under a Canterbury Pro-
bate, or under administration for money due in York, or
vice versa, have been considered void by some persons.
A Probate granted by a Bishop is held void if all de-
ceased's property be not in that particular Bishop's Dio-
cese; and if this be so, acts done under it must conse
quently be void. The interest of the public requires that
the law in these respects should be altered ; and the inte-
rest of both Archbishops requires that any alteration
should be made , most carefully. The Bishops cannot lose
by any change in this respect. If a general law were
made that no grant of Probate or Administration should
he void on the ground of the want of jurisdiction, then
there would be an end of the Archbishops' Courts ; the
Bishops' Courts would always be resorted to, as the most
handy for Executors or Administrators. The difficulty
will, therefore, belt) make such an enactment as will pro-
tect the public interest and that •f the Archbishops.—

COURTS-MARTIAL IN JAMAICA.—Capt.
GRAY, of the 33d Regiment, who was tried on the 7th
of January, by a Court-martial held at Up Park Camp,
Jamaica, and found guilty on a variety of charges, in con-
sideration of some circumstances put forward in extenua-
tion, has been reprimanded and pardoned. Lieut. Burt-
covNE, of the same Regiment, has also received his 'MA-
JESTY'S gracious pardon ; and Lieut. HORNSEY, of the
same regiment, has been ordered to be " removed from the
53d Regiment, to such other corps as his MAJESTY shall
please to direct."
GENUINE ENGLISH FEELING AND
NEWARK POLITENESS.—On Friday last some gentle-
men who bad been (lining together were returning home,
one of them, either by accident or from being heavier in
the head than in the heels, fell and rolled in the kennel.
He called to a friend for assistance to raise him up : his
friend came, but all his attempts were useless, when
he exclaimed, " me, I can't get you out, but I'll
not leave you, so I'll do the next best thing, I'll lie down
by the side of you," which he actually did.

AWFUL MORTAL' TY.—Diedot Rosehearty,
during the month of September ltst, of the fa►nily of Mr.
JOHN WIIMON, Peathill—on the 2d, ANNE, aged nine
years; on the 7th, ALEXANDER, aged 17; on the 13th,
WILLIAM, aged 11 ; on the 22d, JOHN, aged 22 ; and
oa the 30th, Mrs. WILSON, aged •17. The disease that
has proved so fatal in this family, says the Taunton
Courier, was " putrid ulcerous sore throat," which has
prevailed for some time in that neighbourhood, though not
with an equal degree of malignancy. Mrs. WILSON had
overcome the virulence of the distemper, but sunk under
the successive bereavements of the affectionate mother.

WEDDING EXTRAORDINARY.--JAMES
BARNES, of Tillingham, on Sunday last entered into the
happy state of wedlock• for the fourth time, having had by
his former wives no less than fourteen children. The
bride's name was ELIZABETH LAY, who had attained her
56th year, and their united ages amount to one hundred
and forty-two.

THE EFFECTS OF BAD EXAMPLE.-OH
Thursday last, at a village not far from this town, a man
and his wife were disagreeing ; although the quarrel began
with words, it ended with blows. A gentleman going
by interfered and requested him to desist from so unmanly
an act. " What's that to you," replied the angry husband,
"hare I not a right to do what I will with my own?"__

On Friday and Saturday last Sir JOHN
AIAxwELL, of Pollock, had a field of nine acres of
Swedish turnips lifted and secured into two pits, in excel-
lent condition. The crop was allowed by judges to ave-
rage 40 tons per acre. Some of the turnips are of un-
common size. Six of them weighed 5541 b., the largest
12111 b. The whole, when weighed, were free from soil,
and closely topped.

EDINBURGH► OCT. 31.-DEPRECIATION
OF NZIVSPA PER PROPF.R.M.-..011 Saturday the copy-
rights, or right of publication of three periodical works
in this city were exposed to sale by public auction, viz. of
the Edinburgh Weekly Chronicle and Evening Post
Newspapers, and Edinburgh Literary Gazette. They
were first offered at the upset price of 1,7501. for the
three, including printing materials, estimated to be worth
less than 5001., but no offers were made. They were
then tried apart at various reduced upset prices, beginning
at 6001. for each of the Newspapers, and 100/. for the
Gazette; but still there were no offers. They were then
further tried at 400/. and 300/. successively without
effect—and finally, at 150/. each (the Gazette being
coupled with the Post), and were purchased without a
single offer above the upset price, by the printer in the
late establishment for their publication. The copyright
of the Chronicle was bought a year ago at the cost of 750/.

TRIAL BY JURY.—The Thirty-fifth Anni-
niversary of the acquittal of THOMAS HARDY was cele-
brated yesterday by a Dinner, at the Golden Lion, in
West Smithfield. Mr. HARDY, who has attained a great
age, but appears to enjoy a hearty state of health, was
present, as we believe be has always been, at these com-
memorations of his triumph. Mr. litcwrEft also was
present; he was one of those included in the number who
would have been tried, but for the three successive acquit-
tals that entirely defeated the prosecutions. These two gen-
tlemen sat on etch side of the Chair. Mr. RICHARD
TAYLOR, the Common Councilman, was in the Chair.
