Our Ricer.--We rejoice to say TO our
friends in the country who are interested
in the state of the navigation, that the
rains of Friday last swelled the Cape Fear
so as TO afford sufficient water for all kinds
of boats and that an immense quantity of
goods which have been detained along the
river have arrived, and more may be ex-
pectcd every day. Our merchants are
now prepared with stocks Of goods 10 meet
any reasonable demand, from town or
country.-FdyettepilIe Observer.
1t is stated in the Star this evening that
British goods were re-shipped in the Liver
pool by the importers. This Is rather
good sign, as it shows determination to
get out Of debt as speedily as possible with
England. Besides, there are more foreign
goods here than there are sales, and it is
as well that the surplus should be returned.
