Decline In Sugar.


We clip the following from the New Orleans Price
Current of the oath instant
SugdrOccasiOnal limited lots of new crop are arri-
wing and small sales effected mostly for the city
tail trade and neghborng markets, the prices rang
lug from 93 lO1a cents for Fair to Prime and lO34
O IL n cents per lb for Choice and Centrifugal Among
the receipts notice lot of 20 hhds Common and one
of Is hhds Inferior which altogether unsuted to the
City demand the latter being only fit for refining For
these offers can be obtained Some small lots of Gu
ba and Porto Rico Muscovado have been disposed Of
mostly at 81 cents per ID. Arrived since the goth in

Cleared since the Goth inst. for Pensacola bbs Gal

MoldSses-The receipts are limited but they meet
with few buyers and prices have rapidly given way
say from 45 to 40 cents in barrels and from 55 down
SO and SO cents in half barrels Arrived since the 10th

Cleared since the goth inst Total exports of the

Our telegraph report from New Orleans of the 28th
inst, published yesterday quoted Sugar at "A and 81
cents per h. and Moasses at II and l9 cents per gall
If the latest account is correct there has been the
days. We have reason to believe that our teegraphic
report correct agent at Augusta received du
pcate dispatches from different sources confirming the
decline yet in the face of the above extract from the
Price Current, we cannot conceive how the prices o.
these articles should have declined so rapidly The re
ceipts could not have been heavy to depress the
market to such extent in few days can we be
eve that the money pressure could have caused such
decline for in the latter Cotton and other articles
of produce would be similarly affected.

Sympathy.-BY EMILY BRoNTE.

There should be no despair for you
While nightly stars are burning:
While evening pours its silent dews,
And sunshine gilds the morning.
There should be no despair-though tears
May flow down like a river;
Are not the best beloved of years
Around your heart forever?
They weep, you weep, it must be so ;
Winds sigh as you are sghing,
And Winter sheds his grief in snow
Where Autumn's leaves are lying.
Yet these revive. and from their fate
GOur fate can not be parted
Then journey on. if not elate,
Still. nerer broken-hearted.

MmLEDGEvLLE.
Sir:-On the l4th inst, meeting of merchants and
citizens of Savannah held to take into consideration
the present money crisis and the which the banks
should pursue under such circumstances The meeting
was one of the largest and most respectable which has
ever been held here and after due deberation resou
tions were adopted recommending that the banks
pend temporarily specie payments not that any doubts
were entertained OF perfect sovency and excellent con-
don of the banks, evidenced by their reports recently
submitted to you but that the stoppage of banks in ev
cry commercial city in the Union and the almost GER
tanty that their example would be followed by the rest
made it imperative to do so in their own defence IT
DRAIN in this state of things being confined to the few
banks which do pay specie, would in q very short time
have withdrawn every particle Of coin in their posses
sion.
Under the circumstances and at the instance of the
community in which they are located we have been ap-
pointed committee and instructed to ask of your Ex-
celency, to withhold any action against the banks in
consequence of this STEP until the meeting of the Legis
ature and ask this in The hope your Excellency will

recolected that the Legislative meeting is so near at
hand.
