At present there is not much activity In
the cotton market, though the indications
are that there will shortly be an advance.
The impression is general that the English
mills need mere cotton than Is now sppar-
ent. and thst circumstances will soon compel
a revelation Of the fact. This impression is
partially confirmed by late advices, and in
this connection we extract the following
from circular received by firm in this
city from Manchester, under date Of 22d
ult., 10 this effect:
Lancashire continues very busy indeed,
and a very large business has been done
again Of late for our own home trade and
Tor nearly every country to which we send
warns and goods, and the production OF cur
cotton machinery has probably never been
larger than at the present time"

modern AIaddIn,s palace.

10 this progressive age Of materislism,
when sentiment and romance are counted but
a. vagaries, and practical imperturbability
Is accorded consideration and success, one
finds little opportunity to reflect on the
pleasant memories of early youth, when his
whole being was stirred by a beautiful and
graphic description of some magnificent
ideal land, and his mind drifted into delight
full reveries over the wonders and glories
developed by the touch OF a magic
wand. There are occasions, however, even
in this busy life when We encounter scenes
which recall hese cherished memories, and
we can almost imagine that The charming
events detailed 10 the "Arabian Nights" are
not mythical. Such thoughts may be aw k
ened in the mind of any one who enters
the commodi0us and attractive establish
ment of Mr. Samuel P. Hamilton, corner OF
Bull and Broughton streets, and known
throughout this section as the Southern
JeweIry Emporium. The sight OF the
magnificent array of beautiful, elegant and
costly gems, articles of silVerware, dia-
monds, and myriads Of unique and lovely
specimens Of the ingenuity and invention
Of La Belle France, is well calculated TO
make the visitor imagine be has wandered
into A yerftable Aladdin's palace equal to
the one that sprung into existence at the
rubbing Of that wonderful lamp.
This season Mr.. Hamilton presents a
9rander and more extensive display of ele-
giant goods than has ever grseed bis empo
rum. which has been famous in this respect
for wears past His dir ct import atiOns em
brace all the latest novelties. useful and or
nsmental, in the Paris an and other Euro
pean markets, and full stock of English
and Swiss watches and other goods. In adj
dition to these importations may be
found an immense stock OF jewelry
of the latest and most fashionable styles
and best manufacturers, diamonds, silver
ware and q variety of other elegant articles,
such as are to be found In the large first
class iewelry establishments OF the country.
We have no hesitanoy In expressing the
opinion that the present stock 10 Mr.. Ham
fltou's emporium Is not excelled IN elegance
and variety By any South or North. II may
here be mentioned that the course pur
sued by Mr.. Hamilton for many years
past Of importing the finest goods has given
our people advantages for obtaining the
rarest articles and at moderate prices
compared with those demanded Tor
articles which pass through several hands.
Those who are about making their holiday
purchases, and who desire to compliment
their friends and relatives with elegant and
valuable remembrances OF the approaching

idea that hops are strengthening, have taken
to drinking beer and ale very freely. The
consequence is, they feel better for a short
time, but when the reaction comes they are
much weaker than before. Reader, IL you
value life, lay aside all malt and alcoholic
beverages and put your trust in that tenn
