DIED-In this place on Saturday last
the infant son of William and Eliza
Presley, aged about months.
Yesterday morning, in this city,
Charles Frazier Stuart, son OF Col. W. II.
Stuart, aged "a years If the skill of en-
inent physicians, the uniiring care of an
affectionate father, and the attention of
kind friends, could have stayed the hand of
death, he might have still lived, but he
sleeps, and we rejoice to believe that he
.sleeps in Jesus" The bereaved are not
called upon TO weep "as those that have
no hope" but have most satisfactory and
comforting assurance that he obtained,
through the merits of his Redeemer, a
preparation for that better world, "where
the wicked cease to trouble and the weary
are at rest" --Baltimore American Of De-
Cember %.

COTTON MARKET.

In cur review of last Saturday morning
we noticed decline in prices for the low
er grades of Cotton of lS to IA Of
cent, and we reported the market as hav-
ing closed exceedingly dull on the evening
previous, even at that reduction. The
market opened on Saturday with but mo-
derate demand at first, but the inquiry
continued to improve, and before the day
closed about 1900 bales had changed
hands, at prices varying but little, if any,
from the rates current on Friday. On
Monday there was a very active and gen.
eral demand, in consequence of which
holders were able to dispose of fully a.
500 bales, and, in most instances, they
succeeded in obtaining slightly improved
prices. Yesterday there was again We
ry active inquiry, but owing to the stock
of Cotton on sale having been consldera-
bly, reduced, and to the former attitude OF
holders, buyers ceased to operate so free
" as before; the sales, however, reached
to 1000 bales, and the market closed with
much steadlness. The decline Of Is OF a
cent on Ordinary and Middling Cottons,
which we quoted in our previous report,
has been fully rcgained, and we have al
tered our figures accordingly. Buyers for
England have been the heaviest operators
though the purchasers for the French and
other continental ports, as well as for ouI
own home markets at the North, have also
been pretty extensive.
