FIST BALE.-The first bale of new cot,
ton was received in this market yesterday
morning by that 'live' firm-K. Biggs &
Co. 1t was h'pped by .. G. Partley &
Co., Wilmington, N. c., for the planter,
and is classed as Strict low middiug.' 1t
was Immediately sold to VIM. D. Reynolds
& Bro, at forty,five cents per pound.
Messrs. Biggs & Co., have not, as yet,
learned the name of the producer, who
will, doubtless, receive the prize of silver
cup recently offered by them for the first
new bale of cotton. Two new bales, we
are informed, went through to New York,
and for what we are at loss to under
st nd, when they would have sold for as
much in Norfolk as in Gotham, besides
saving freight.

KEEP PosTED.-It is said by parties who
have tried the experiment that a good
weather guide can be made BY placing in
a G lass tube or narrow phial two dracfms
of camphor, half drachm of pure salts
petre, a half drschm of muriate of am,
monia, and two ounces ofproof spirits. In
dry weather the solution remains clear: ON
the approach of a change minute stars will
rise up in the liquid, and stormy weather
is indicated by the greatly disturbed condi,
tion of the chemical combination. This
will not exactly give. the time of day or
the day of the month, but for forsteliing
the state of the weather it beats most al,
manacs call hollow"

is the more satisf ,ctory because it is made

lis popularity is doubtless proportionately
attributable to its abolition of the usual
