THE MEETING TO NIGHT.-lt is expected that
our citizens will assemble in the Court House to.
night, to select, il thought advisable, delegates to
represent us in the great Southern and Western
Convention, to be held at Memphis ia November
next, We understand the object of that Convention
to be the concentration of opinion from all the South
ern and Western Sates for the purpose of Impress
ing Congress with the force of their claims To its
Legislative justice. II will, doubtless present con-
trolling reasons to Congress for the exercise of its
constitutional powers in the removal of
to the navigation of the Mississippi; The clearing Of
our bays aud harbors, and the building Of fortfca
tons, docks, light houses, &c. upon our Southern
sea coast, The positive interests AS well I'D the ac-
a burthens of the sections represented in the con
venIon will receive their proper consideration, and
we believe that faithful and united effort will be
made 10 secure the former and remove the latter
We do not understand any particular state as taking
the lead in this movement-but we regard il rather
AS the spontaneous action Of great region of on.
republic which has not hitherto received its due
share of the attention Of the general government.

NRw-ORLgANs, Oct. 22-Cotton-We stated in our
review last saturday morning that In consequence of
the very limited nature Of the demand for
d4vs previously prices had given way about &c, and
that the market had closed with considerable heayiness
Friday evening al thst reduction bus claiming
further concession in the rates inducement
any extent Owing TO the just mentioned,
the market on SATURDAY maintained very dull aud un
settled character, and the safes, which embraced about
1900 hales exhibited great ireguarty prices, though
in most instances, we believe, buyers enHbied ID
purchase al decline of &c. On Monday there wins n
slight improvement in the enquiry aud safes were riec-
ted 10 the extent of 5000 bales but still there great
heaviness In the market, BUYERS seldom operating un-
less when holders would make Them some cOHoessons.-
Yesterday considerable disappointment was experienced
account OF the arrival OF the European adyces
by the Great Britain due, and andng that
slight decline took place In the rates of freight TO Liv
erpoo the market wHsvery inactive There was, il is
true good deal Of inquiry during the day, but the Of
Iers very generally much below the views of hold
es and the sales only amounted about 100 bales.
On the whole, the market seems to be in somewhat
unsettled state and, remarked above prices have
hhited considerable rreguarity. but the business has
mostly been done AT fc reduction on qualities ranging
from good mddlng to good fair, and we have made hat
change In our quotations. There is very little ordinary
cotton in MARKET and prices for good mddng lists and
fair, approximate more nearly than usual owing TO the
fact that the demand centres mainly middlig. TIC
markets. &C. but still much the heaviest port ion the
business 10 done by English operators. The receipts
have Increased materially since last and there IL
corresponding increase In the quantity OF cotton offering.
The sales OF the three days amount TO $500 bales.
