2 It was very quiet yesterday. The chief topic of
remark was the capture of Delhi by the British as
reported BY the Geographic advices, having been
brought by the Arabia from Liverpool. This iutel-
gence if confirmed by the next accounts, will relieve
the minds Of some holders of cotton now between
this port and Liverpool.
The mails by the Canada were received yesterday.
The total stock Of cotton on hand the 3lst Of July
was 1917 $50 bales against 1888 800 at the time
last year. We do not perceive that the increase
in prices has tended to curaiI consumption five
per cent up to the LIST inst There have been taken
for consumption for the months up to the lst
l2s2746 bags against 1922 ,973 for the correspond
ing time in 1855. The consumption weekly of all
kinds has been a. 500 bales against 1881 bales in
1856.
According 70 these figures the stock will be reduced
very low by the list Of December.
The next adyices from Liverpool will undoubtedly
be by the AngloSaxon Of the 18th inst. to arrive at
Quebec Her accounts will be due on Sunday or
Monday.

river. It is the most compact and finished job ever
manu- featured in the South, and speaks volumes for
the Skill of the mechanics who constructed it.
Southern railroad companies have it in their power
to foster branch of industry in our midst whose
usefulness will be felt and the necessity of which
has been and will be more fully seen our projected
enterprises develop themselves. We recommend
Capt. rs work to all.
X We copy the above observations of our capitoian
contemporary with pleasure and endorse their correct
ness. We have been over Capt. W. f. Tunnards ex-
tensiye establishment in Baton Rouge and know that
he can turn out as fine carriages be bought in
the North, as fine bugges as were ever trotted down
the shell road at 240 speed all sorts Of plantation We
hicles and implements, and every thing else in his
line better and, all things calculated cheaper than
can be obtained from Northern manufactures and
workshops. &. Il
We trust the managers of our railroad companies
will act upon the suggestion Of the Advocate. Why
should they go North--go among our enemies, who
cheat u.s. steal negroes SANDER u.s. and despite
fully use us on all occasonsto purchase their cars
and other apparatus, when they be accommodated
) at home on equally as good terms? when they can
! patronize home mechanics build up system Of
home industry that will prove tower Of strength to
us in time Of need, and secure to our own State and
our own people the benefits and advantages of per-
I manent, thriving and Industrious population?

VARIETY
Gratitude.

Sanctifed gratitude is heaven begun
The city of the living God abounds with
%orshippers. Itresounds with halleluiahs.
The voice of angels is praise. The Ian
guagc of the saints is alteration The an
thems of the church below arc her rospon-
ses to the symphonies of the church above.
Gratitude is the music of heaven in the
soul. The full swell of the benevolence of
the Most High meets a most perfect con-
cord in the everlasting gratitude of the re-
deemed.
Let gratitude then abound on the Garth.
+ Let it continually actuate every believers
breast Let us set ourselves diligently to
prayer. Pray without ccasing," says the
Apostle; and Immediately adds, {" in eve
rything give thanks; for this is the will of
God in Christ Jesus concerning you" l
Th. q: II, Is.
Obey this command, o believer. Look
around you for causes of thankfulness. BE
eaglc-cyed to discern your mcrcics, rather
than your miseries. Look not always at
the dark spots in every picture, lest your
mind be darkened like them. Fix your
eyes also on the bright aud beautiful, that
your mind may reflect their image Let
the one teach you to pray Let the other
teach you to praise.
The tide of gratitude increases as it flows.
1t rises higher, and higher, both before and
around US, and extends itself widely on ey-
cry side. When we render Thanksgiving
to our God and Saviour for one mercy, the
second presents itself to view; then a
third; then fourth then others success
sivcly arise, and roll in upon our remem-
brance. The goodness and the mercy of
the Lord are like the mighty deep, unfath-
enable. His acts of love are rs the ocean
waves, innumcrablc; and innumerabe,
therefore, should be our acts of thanksgiy-
ing:
My soul, in pleasing wonder lost
Thy various love surveys,
Where shall my grateful lips begin?
Or where conclude thy praise?
