Peis vii be gratifed to learn that an important
reelection has just taken place IN the charge for
transporting cotton from this point to New YORK
by steam. Messrs., RAvENEI g. Co., agents for the
IiEARY line Of steamers, viz: the steamships
Quaker -Ctty, Sdrdgossu and Grenada, have put
down their freight on cotton to New York to one
dollar per bale, which Will be the rate for either

portant benefit to the cotton merchants, and will
much facilitate the trade between the two points.

Capt. DuTToNs fine steamer the Seagu0, had q
triline accident to her machinery on her voyage

arrange her regular trip the present week from
