During the present week again great bust

"We are happy 10 notice some further
Improvement in our market as regards Up
land Cottons, which We consider I'd higher
this week. The demand has been very good
every day, and the sales very extensive, con-
sisting of about 5000 bags during the week,
al various prices, from III to l2sd, and as
the manufacturing trade has lately eXperien-
ced some amendment. we trust The "a" ma
terial ill continue 10 improve yet. Sea ISL
ands are rather dull. The latest dates from
your place are 70 the 2etb of March only.
$ The trade in Manchester is rather i'm
proving, and yos may fully calculate on our
former representation as il regards Uplands,
and your crops Of Georgia and South Caro-
lima do not exceed 20 to $4,000 bags more
than the previous year, there will be no ex.
cess. The Continent is consuming an extra
quantity, as well as this country, in Uplands.
Sea Islands Will most certainly prove too a.
hundant for the consumption, unless at very
low prices, and generally we think 25cents,
unless Tor very fine marks, will prove to be
enough to give on your side"

and rich scenery on each side, will delight
travellers /: and they wil! have fine oppor-
tunity to view the wonderful provision of
Providence, made in the heart of this rich
and populous country--l mean the salt
springs and works at Salina. They should
be visited by every traveller capable OF en-
joyment or improvement. This grand canal
reflects high honor on the state, on its pro-
jeciors and patrons. Mr. Holley, Of Canaan
daigua, one of the Commissioners ofihe Ca
nal, met us at Utica. and accompanied US To-
Ganeva. He was very polite 10 US, and gave
us much valuable information relative to the
canal. We visited on our way the salt works
of Salin, and the Falls Of Niagara and in
