 MERRIMAN'S ESTABLISHMENT. VM\HE proprietor of this store which has been A Tn operation for the space of nearly nine years, grahfed that his efforts to serve the com munlty have been in great degree appreciated and sensible that if any one can say he has lost through any dealings in his store, he, the propre- tor, can say, truly and very feelingly, that such losses have never occurred through wiful or deliberate intention on his part, nor have they ever, Tn any particular, accrued 10 his benefit sensible also that if any one is disposed to charge hm with want of accommodation he is very little acquainted with the innumerable small loss es he has incurred by the exercise of this very accommodating spirit, exercised indeed so much as to have become weaknes-is willing now, and hopes to continue willing to serve the com munity Tn faithful and diligent manner, pro- vidng that his losses through the aforesaid spirit of accommodation do not increase upon him so rapidly as to make 1t necessary for him 10 re- linquish altogether. He will repair Watches, Clocks, Jewelry and Silverware in the mos4 tasty and faithful manner-he will indeed do al- most any kind of work-any kind--being pro- gressive in skill and knowlege, he thinks now that he could accommodate even that facetious German friend of his, whom once with his slit tie tog," he was obliged to send away unaccom- modated; indeed he gives most particular atten- ion to everything entrusted to him. The aw- ful strife that has been going on ''for years, not as to the best watch but the cheapest, the sub- scriber cheerfully resigns to the adjudication ot his old friend Clark, fully convinced that in his hands the cause with all its complicated mpor- tance will receive ample justice.
 | The subscribers ambition. with or without a motto, is to benefit the public as well as himself that every one whom he shall have the pleasure of dealing with may be fully satisfied of this, he humbly hopes. MERRIMAN, Watchmak ker and Jeweller. Up2ODhis. Uf0U 9. 1850

CRESCENT OFFICE
 Saturday Morning, Aug. IF, 1850.
 Except in the article of Cotton, the busi- ness ot our market for the past week has been very light.
 CoTToN.-The Cambria's accounts, re- porting a small decline in the Liverpool Cotton market, reached us on Saturday morning by telegraph, but, as far as we could judge from the sales that were al- lowed to transpire, produced but little effect | in our market. Prices were, however, somewhat easier, and 600 bales were taken during the day. Some orders were receiv- ed by the Canada's mail, on Monday, to | fill which created some demand, and the sales of that and the two following days reached 74O0 bales. On Wednesday the telegraph announced the arrival of the Pa cific with more favorable accounts, and on Thursday the Niagara's arrival was report ed, with Liverpool dates to the Sd inst, up to which time Cotton had advanced i'd over the rates of the Doth ult., when the Canada left. The sales of the week preceding the Sd were stated at ll9,00O bales, of which over 70,OOO had been taken on speculation. l hO eH0IC ol luio lutellSelCe Was lO give frmness to our prices, but not to increase the demand, which was confined to English account. The sales of Thursday and yes terday together were about 25OO bales, making the total business of the week l0,50O nearly all of which was for England. Prices early in the week were irregular, but ex- hibited degree of steadiness toward the close, within the range of our quotations, which we advance for the Middling qualities The receipts proper at this port since the lst of September are 79l ,503 bales, against ,O90,O3l to the same time in lS49, and at all the Southern ports there is now de- crease of 647 7,694 bales. The first bale of the new crop was received here on Sunday, the llth inst, from the plantation of MT. R. T. Young, in Wilkinson county, Miss.

The Murder of Musteen, in Kentucky.

Some time ago an account was published of the murder of an old man named Mus teen, in Kentucky, supposed to have been committed by one John Watson, in which it was stated that the supposed "cause of the murder was an old grudge that had ex- lsted for forty years, in consequence of MuSteen having taken an active part in having Watson sent to the penitentiary for forgery, from Halifax county, Va, at which time he threatened Musteen's life, and had not seen him untilhe perpetrated the deed.'' The Lynchburg (Va.) Republican copies the account of the murder, and says:
 "A friends who recolIects some of the circumstances, informed us that Watson and Musteen lived in Pittsylvania county, Va.; that Mustsen committed a murder (having shot the man in general afray) and swore the crime upon Watson, for which the lat ter was sent 10 the penitentiary, while Mus teen removed 10 Kentucky. Watson re- mained in the pententiary for many years, when 1t was ascertained with certainty that he was an innocent man, and was accord ingly liberated. If these facts be true, Mus teen has received an awful punishment for his monStrOus crime.

VOL. XI.

The bill providing for the admission ol
 California into the Union, as State, was
 yesterdav ordered to be engrossed Tn the Senate by vote of B to l9. As this may
 be regarded as a test vote, the bill VIII pro- baby pass it's final reading in that body to- day. by about the same majority. Inc boundaries of California remain as pre- scribed in her constitution-all attempts to alter or restrict them having been voted down.
 Thus will the Senate, since the failure of she Compromise bill, have promptly taken up and passed the two most important measures embraced in it. It IS to be hoPeo that in the House of Representatives thosf measures will be acted upon with the Ike promptitude and despatch. Which shall be taken up and acted on first is aquestlon about which some diversity of opinion will no doubt be found to exist; but as both can not be considered and passed upon at once, we trust that no serious difficulty will be suffered to arise by any contention as to the order in which they shall be taken up. It is with great deference that we venture to make any suggestions in regard to matter like that; but we may, perhaps, be permit ted to say, without giving offence, that we kno,c it is the opinion of gentlemen of great legislative experience, and who are now, and have been from the beginning, fast friends to the prompt admission of Callor- na, that, under all the circumstances of the case, it will be the WiSest course to take up the Texas boundary bill, and act upon it at the earliest practicable moment. What the friends of that measure want, and what they think the best interests of the country require, is prompt action on the part of the House of Representatives. They do not ask for it the support of any member who thinks it would be inconsistent with his duty to vote for it. All that they ask is, that it may be at once taken up, and finally passed upon. In view of the fact, that the agree ment of Texas is required by the first sec ton of the bill to be given to the propositions contained in it, by the first day of Decem- Der next, the great importance, and, indeed, urgent necessity of immediate action upon it by the House must be apparent to every one. We hope, then, that the friends of these two great measures may come to an understanding with each other on the sub- ject of the order in which they shall be taken up; and if they, as we think they probably will, upon reflection, agree to take the Texas boundary bill up first, that they will do so with the unalterable resolution of firmly but quietly sitting it out until the matter IS finally determined one way or the other. So, also, with the California bill, and such other measures as it may be deem ed indispensably necessary to pass before Congress adjourns. By this course of pro- ceeding, the labors of the present protract- ed and exciting session may, in our humble opinin, be brought to an early, suspicious and happy close.- Wash. Republic, l3th

SUGAR.-The receipts have been very light during the week, and prices seem 10 have remained steady, although the pre- vaiing fancy for surpressing particulars of the more important transactions, in our market, has prevented us from ascertaining the exact rates at which the principal sales have been made.

HE "YANKEE ON HIS K."-Under this heading, the Richmond Republican has the following paragraph:
 A company of New England men have purchased three hundred and fifty thousand acres of timber land, on the Kanawha river. with view of opening a heavy lumber trade with Ohio. Fifty cents an acre was paid. Forty New Enganders have gone forward to form a settlement. That is better than going to California. It seems strange to see the sons of Virginia, leaving her for other cimes, while she is herself inviting the sturdy footsteps of Northern enterprise.
