CoTToN.-The advices by the Humboldt and

Saturday last checked the demand and the sales
on that day were confiDed TO 5000 bales On
Monday the demand revived and the sales reached
10000 bales. On Tuesday although the advices
by the Baltic. the steamer of the 23d nit show
ed further slight decline. the demand was still
more general, and the sales embraced fully 900
bales. Since then the demand has continued un-
abated and the sales of the past three DAYS en-
brace 3S 900 bales, of which $4,000 bales were
sold to-day, making a total for the week OF 10000
bales the largest sales of any one week ever made
in this market The purchases have been chiefly
for all parts of Europe, Northern buyers having
operated sparingly. FactoIs have met the de-

and kidneys, The surface Of the body should
be kept cool; Tito the skin, warmer clothing

An important accessory, when health is
TO be preserved, improved. or regained, is
the daily use Of warm or cold baths, as shall
be most agreeable to the feelings of the in
divldual. A sensation Of greater comfort,
after the use Of cold, than after a warm
bath, indicates that the cold should be pre-
fered, and the reverse Warm bathing can
generally be INDUCED in with impunty, but,
when the reaction is slow and feeble, or is
TO quick and violent, after cold bathing, great
caution should be observed in lis use, or II
should be altogether avoided.
But, there is no royal road TO health
Vain are all medicines, and useless all ad-
vice, when the invalid violates the laws Of
nature by too free indulgence in the plea

and there is no happiness without health
must be stern and unfal,ering in the con-
troll of an unnatural, or cspricious appetite.
Aud il is no less necessary 10 attend to the

The one should be PLAIN and wholesome, the
other moderate. If incompetence in drink

IMPORTANT DEclsIoN.-In the trial OF
Swami for the killing of Sprigg, now going
on q. Hagers.own, an important question
arose as TO whether the judge or the jury
were to decide as to the admissibilily OF
evidence. i. was commended by the coun-
sci for the prisoner, that the Constitution
made it The .preroga'ive of the Jury alone to
decide such points, and not The Judge, as
has always been The usage under the com
mon law. Judge Tyson, however, who Is
sitting as special judge in the lease, in an a.
BILE opinion delivered few days since, de-
cided in favor Of the common law practice.
He said A.: "The provisions contained in the
5lh section, 10Th article of the Constitution
ever was, and still is, par, Of the common
law Of the land, and was, in the very form
in which it there exists, adopted into the
Constitution ;" and further, that "Being thus
la part of the common Law, and only pro-
,eced by the Constitution, it stands I'M
'e changed, and clothed with The precise mean
lug NDICu tuE Coilltupu Id" duu Couiu'i
understanding of The people had given il for
centuries. Ths, meaning is, that in crimi
nal causes the jury shall judge Of the iaw
and facts Of the case, but that the court alone
shall Judge Of the law Of evidence.
There is, gentlemen, in my humble ap-
p,ehenson, distinction between the law
of case and the law Of the evidence of a
case. The law of q case-of criminal
case-is the law which enacts the crime and
specifies the Ingredients which shall en'er
into its composition. 1t is specific, and il
is necessarily applicable only to that pari'
cular case. The law Of the evidence of a
criminal case is not particularly confined to
that case-is general in its character, and
applicable to all criminal cases coming with
in its princple--as applicable to larceny as
to murder, TO arson as TO treason. The spe.
cial law-lhe law of the case-the jury are
by the common law and the Constitution,
presumed to understand. The general law
The law Of the evidence of the case-they
are not presumed to understand no more
Than they are to know the universal law in
all its comprehension"

of inferior parcels, at 3 to 10 cents below the "a
bove figures. Prices are a to cents per bushel
lower than yesterday. The market closed dull,
with more disposition to sell than to buy. About
5000 bushels of Corn offered, and mostly sold at
II - cents for white, and 70 "a cents per
bushel for yellow. Maryland and Virginia Dat.
80 40 to Al 43 cents per hushel, as to quality
GUANo.-The market is bare of all kinds, the
late imports of Peruvian being all sold before ar
rival. More, however, is daily expected, but it
will require many cargoes to satisfy all the parties
wishing to purchase it. The imports of the week
are 574 tons from Peru.
ToBAcco.-We have still to note great activity
in the demand for Maryland Tobacco, with sales
to the full extent of all the parcels in market not
limited, at prices above the rates which have been
current for some time past The late accounts
from Holland and Germany represent the stocks
in those markets reduced to few hundred hhds.
and good demand prevailing. 1t is true there
are supplies the way thther, and it is probable
there may be falling off in the demand on their
arrival, but shippers here seem to have full conf
dence in the maintenance of prices, and take all
that offers, unless held at an advance. We hear
of no change in prices this week. ard quote as be-
fore, viz:
Inferior and common Maryland, S.; ordinary
midding to middling, S5.25 $50; good to fan
midding, s5.75 G; and fine S6.25 8, accord

The demand for Ohio Tobacco also continues
very lively, and sales freely making, leaving
little or no stocks in the hands Of agents.
The inspections of the week are $50 hhds. Md
623 hhds. Ohio, and ~ hhds Ky.-total 1863

GUANo.-The increased use Of This sub
s,rnce as fertilizer, and its high price as
we'll as present great scarcity, are directing
attention to the subject Of endeavoring to
do away with the system Of monopoly I'M
der which it is al present supplied. cor
respondent of the Charleston Mercury, who
refers 10 the demand for this compost for
cotton, proposes that the United States gov
eminent shall relieve Peru from its obliga-
lions TO the British bondholders, under
which the monopoly is maintained, by ad-
vancing to that government $4,O0O,O0O or
100000 on the condition that the guano
trade shall be thrown open to this country;
our importers paying the rates charged to
the importers of other countries. The
Washington Union copies the communica-
ton, with the remark that the ''subjecl is
attracting attention and provoking discus
sion in many of the southern States, and we
are sure the administration will not fail to
give due consideration 10 the suggestions
made on the subject"

THE Tobacco CROPS IN KENTUCKY
We have received the following information
from reliable source, in regard to the grow
ing crop of Tobacco in Kentucky. Taking

as compared with last, is as follows in the
counties named below:
Christian, rs pr CT; Todd, rs; Logan

so; MuhIenberg, rs; Grayson, rs; Breck-

II there should be an earl frost, say from
Isl to 10Th of October, the crop would be
materially lessened. Should this cacula.
lion be wrong, we would be pleased to hear
from the different counties in reference &c
The crops.
Upon referring TO the above estimate, il
will be seen that in but one single county
Logan, the growing crop is likely TO equa
the last. On The other hand, it will be seen
that in Hart county, the production is es,i.
mated a, bu, 25 per cent. of the yield Of las
