IA the weekly r

at the South give evidence that the crop is nearly An in ;
at any rate, so much so as to warrant us ha expressing the
conviction that this crop, including Texas. will not reach
2,100,000 bales. It is true that some few parties still
cling to higher estimates, but we are unable to discover
any grounds for such expectations, and its a matter of
gratification to us that the views we ()aye expressed in our
circulars from time to time during the last winter, in re•
gard to the present crop of cotton, (:Ind in which, for a
long period, we were atmcst alone,) are now being verified
by facts too strong to admit of doubt as to their correct..
nesa. By reference to our tables above, it will be corn
that the receipts into all the ports this season, amount to
1.980,662 bales, against to the same dates last year of
2,343,285 bales, which chews a deficit of 362,623 bel s.
The stoc:: of cotton in Augusta, Hamburg, and Macon, on
the Ist instant, deducting that on hand on the Ist Sept.
last, was 35,000 bales, which, added to the receipts, gives
us a total supply this year of 2,015,662 bales. We beg
once more to call your attention to our tables of exports,
from which it will be seen that the falling off in the total
amount exported, as compared with last year, amounts to
517.706 bales, the deficiency to Great Britain being 443,536.
Our circular of 30th May gave the operations to the
close of last month. On the 2d inst. we were placed in
possession of. Liverpool advices to the 19th ult. per Hi-
bernia, showing an improvement in that cotton market,•
and a more encouraging state of trade generally ; these
accounts have been somewhat anticipated, holders con-
tinued to offer their stocks freely at previous rates, and a
large bucinees during the week ending 6th June was the
result, the sales amounting to at least 16,000 bales, chiefly
for export to Liverpool. During last Week purchasers
have continued their operations, though with less eager-
ness, and the sales summed up 13,000 bales, of which at
least 4,000 bales were sold on Saturday. We continue
our quotations as given in our last circular, which may be
taken as the fair market standard, occasional sales being

made a fraction above and others a trifle below the c

tremes tor the various grades. liolderA, generally, dur-
ing the past two weeks, have evinced a disposition tomett
the views of buyers at fair prices, and are still willing sel-
lers at current rates
We have esi

....aced our stock " on hand and on ship-
cleared" at 90,000 bales ; when the recent pur-
s and.what is in course of shipment shall have left
:he stock will be reduced to about 65,000 bales.
Some further shipments from first hands have been made
since the date of our last.

MARINhRS' CHURCH SCHOOL.—On Tuesday last, the
half-yearly examination of the children in connexion with
this school took place in the Mariners',Church, Georze's
Dock, attended by the Rev. \Vm. Maynard, the incum-
bent, several members of the committee, and friends of
the charity. The examination in scripture was conducted
by the Rev. W. Maynard, who expressed himself highly
gratified with the
.clear, audible, and distinct manner in
which the children of the several classes read the portions
allotted to them, and also With their general knowledge of
the Holy Scriptures. The secular examination was con-
ducted by Miss Simm, the head mistress, in arithmetic,
grammar, and geography. The sums were worked aloud,
and the slates exhibited. The children parsed several
sentences, and the geographical lesson was conducted in
such a manner as clearly evinced that the children have
not merely a parrotical acquaintance with that useful
science, but have such a knowledge as would astonish any
adult. Specimens of needlework, plain and fancy, were
exhibited, as also the copy books, cyphering books, &c.
The singing and recitations, too, were in perfect keeping
with the rest of this truly pleasing exhibition. In conclu-
sion the rev. gentleman addressed the assembly in a very
affecting and appropriate manner, and eulogising the mis-
tress for her indefatigable zeal in the fulfilment of her
duty, he also stated that not only were the committee and
himself sensible of the exertions made by her, but he had
great pleasure in announcing to her that the children bud
requested him to present her with a work-box (here
he presented a beautiful work-box to Miss Simm) as a
small token of their gratitude and lore for the kindness
and pains taken in their instruction. This little school is
now quite crowded with pupils, there not being room for
any more scholars, and we hope ere long to see a more
spacious
and
neighbourhood,co Mariners' Church,
for the sons and daughters of our sailors.
