MILLINERY EMPoR1Ud.-Alrs s. WATTS, who is
already favorably known to our fair readers. will
add to her popularity by offering for their inspec-
tion choice stock of millinery goods Mrs.
WATTS establishment ia probably more frequented
than any other en- King street, and the announce
merit that she is prepared to furnish the latest
string novelties will set many pretty heads crazy
and it will tax the energies of Mrs. W. and her as
slstanfs to answer the numerous questions pro-
pounded by the fashion seekers.
The AMERICAN FARMER.-We have received the
April number of this magazine from MIR s. HART,
tho agent for the publishers, and find that it fully
sustans its reputaton the Oldest and best agri-
cultural publication in the United States. The
Fcf7'er does not confne itself to agriculture, but
Is full of useful information and is m invaluable
work for the Southern planter, and should be
taken by oil who wish to succeed in their opera
tions. ".m#

our community will be pleased to learn that Mr..
OSWALD MEIER and his two sons, Orro and JULIUS
MEYER, will give an instrumental concert at the
Turner Hall, No. 70 King street. between Broad

TURNER'S are well known in our city, and many
who have attended their dramatic enter ainments
viii gladly avail themselves of this opportunity to
hear those delicious strains that Mr. MEYER knows
80 well how to produce.
CHEAP FREIGHT TO New YoRK.-Cotton ship
pc1s will BIO gratfed 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. RAvENEL & Co., agents for the
LEARY line of steamers, viz: tho steamships
QadEeT CAy, Sdrdgossd and Grenada, have put
down their freight on cotton to New York to one
dollar per bale, which will DO the rate for either
Upland or Sea Island Cotton. This will bo an i,E-
Portant benefit to the cotton merchants and will
much tacihtate the trade between the two points
STEAMSHIP sEAauLL.-We regret to learn that
Capt. buttons fine steamer the Sedg,lA, had
tridin9 accident to her machinery on her voyage
honce to Baltimore on the 30th, and has put into
Fortress Monroe for repair. The accident is IN
derstood to be Of such character as will not dis
arrange her regular trip the present week from
Baltimore. At
we trust such will be the case, for the business
between our sister city Of Baltimore is growing
largely and We cannot spare any Of our always
punctual steamers from their accustomed work
