Some good luck for Washing ton. This wock'a Washington City papers give information of the drawing in that city, on the first day of this month, of the "Grand Consolidated Lottery, No. 8" at which time, No. 24 was the first drawn ticket and if we are informed correctly, it will be entitled to a prize of Seven Thousand Dollars . We are glad to learn that our fellow-citizen, Joseph B. Hinton, Esq. is the for tunate ownerof that ticket. ..Echo. Faycttcvillc, Oct. 8. ...The last advices from Europe leave no room to hope that the price of Cotton will be materially better: than at present. As far as our! observation extends, the crops of Cotton in this State will fall veryj short of what was expected two months ago. The failure is attri-; buted to the excessive drought in j August. The crops of Corn is abundant, and the price generally asked, is one dollar the barrel at the stack. Pork will be plenty and cheap; besides the large crops of corn, the mast this year is most abundant. During the late session of Rich mond Superior Court, Malcolm McQueen and James Long, two aged men, died suddenly, in con sequence of intoxication, and of bruises occasioned by falls while in that situation. The Rev. Mr. Taylor, of Anson county, an aged man, was shot by his son-in-law, a few days since, and instantly expired. Slaugh-; ter, the murderer, is confined in' Anson yd... Sentinel. Crops The South-Carolina papers speak of a drought there similar in its effects on the Cotton crops to the one experienced in this State, and say the crop of the present is but little better than that of the last year. In this State the Cotton crop is certainly a short one; a third or fourth less perhaps than the usual aver age... Geo rgia Rec. Broad Rock races commenced on Tuesday, 7th inst. On Thurs day, the Jockey Club Purse, 8500, was won at four heats by Dr. Boi ling's Ariel, beating Trumpater, Lafayette, Hoppoua, and Pioneer; Lafayette and Trumpater taking the 1st and 3d heats, and Ariel the 2d and 4th. The last heat, three miles, was run in 5 minutes 47 seconds; in better time, we un derstand, than any 4th heat ever witnessed in Virginia. Cotton trade and the Tariff... The New-York Commercial Ad vertiser remarks that "the effects of the New Custom-IIouse Bill of England, which went into opera tion on the 10th August, have ex cited attention and occasioned speculation in the Liverpool pa pers and those of this country. J he naked facts seem to be these: The duty upon Cotton imported from British possessions, has been lowered to 4d. per cwt. while that "pon the same Cotton imported directly from the United States would be about 3s. per cwt. The question arising is, whether a Bri tish vessel may not take on board a cargo at any of our ports, give onJs not to land her caro in any colonial port, arid then touch at one, and without landing the cargo take out a new clearance as from a British colonial posses sion, and thus pay only the duty of 4d per cwt. We are unable to find any reasoti why this may not be clone. If any there be, we should be glad to lie apprized of it. It is perfectly obvious, that some countervailing measures or remedy must be adopted by us, if such is the actual state of the case, or the equality secured by the Commercial Convention to both nations, is virtually gone, and all our Cotton will be exported in British bottoms. American ves sels cannot go to British colonial ports, nor from the Colonies to Great Britain." Extract of a letter from the A merican Consul in Russia, dated July 25, 1828: "The new Tariff will cause a serious diminution of our com merce with this country. This measure, it has been intimated to me by some of the Russian digni taries, is not looked upon with a favorable eye by his Majesty's go vernment, and though I do not know that they will adopt any countervailing measures, yet I should not be astonished if they were to do so. We have hereto fore taken more than three-fourths of all the sail cloths, ravens duck and flems and when the manu facturers of these articles find that their market is cut off, will thev not make long & loud complaints! Bronchotoniy . This operation was performed with success by Dr. R. Burrows, of Fryeburg, Maine, on a boy four years of age, w ho had swallowed the core of an apple. People are not generally aware that cutting the throat is, in such cases, an easy and safe operation. An incision may be made by any person, when surgi cal assistance cannot be had and other means fail, sufficiently large to admit a silver tube say a small pencil case, or a quill, which by continuing respiration will save the life of the patient. The inci sion should be below what is call ed the apple of the throat. Boston Courier. whose presence was not necessa-( ry in the capital were to be sent to the M orea." The other bulle tin relates the operations against Varna, and gives an account of the capture of a Turkish fleet of fourteen vessels lying before that place; The Russian Guards have crossed the Dranube; on their way to the main army before Shumla. :: (communicated.) MARRIED, by Robert Joyner, Esq. in this place, on the 13th inst. Mr. Thos. J. filakehi of Petersburg, Va. to Miss Ann Stafford, of Halifax, N. C. u i o i . MARRIED, At the residence of Mrs. Ann Pit man, on Tuesday evening the 7th inst. by J. II. S immons. Esq. Mr. Thos. L. B. Gregory to Miss Mary Francis IV. Pitmany all of Halifax county. "Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder. Com. DIED, At his seat in Halifax county, on the 5th inst. Mr. James Harriss, aged about 50 years the following lines are but a faint expression of our feelings of I the virtues of the deceased. Comni'd. If e'er departed worth aroused the lay, And asked a tribute from the passing day; i Surely to worth like his we can't refuse; ; The humble tribute of an humble muse. He sought not for the pomp or pride of state, His was a better, though an humbler fate: Twas his to sooth the widow's drooping heart, ; And to the wound sweet friendship s balm j impart. Twas his the helpless orphan's rights to guard, Their grateful hearts, his only best reward; His were the joys that fame can ne'er im part, The noble feelings of an honest heart. But since such worth is, from us, snatched away, To us 'tis left to weep and to obey; All language vain our feelings to express, Or of his virtues give a true impress. If human being e'er was call'd away, To share the glories of immortal day; This hope is ours, that now his spirit soars, And round the throne, the God of love adores. Dear friend farewell! on earth we'll meet no more, But soon in bliss we will together soar; When we can say, while hallelujahs ring, Grave where is thy victory, death thy sting! C. C. F. R. Foreign. An arrival at New York has brought Liverpool pa pers to the 8th September. The Hon. James Barbour, the new A merican Plenipotentiary to the Court of Great Britain, arrived in London on Wednesday. The price of wheat is declining, and the demand for Cotton rather dull. The pause in the military ope rations before Shumla still conti nues. The Russian fleet off Var na cannot approach the fortress on account of the batteries, and both armies, it is said, are waiting for reinforcements. Two bulletins from the Russian army have appeared in the English papers. One of them relates to the operations against Shumla, dated August 7th, and contains nothing important. Some Bul garians, who sought refuge in the Turkish camp, brought the re port that ''the Scraskier Hussein Pacha had received from Con stantinople the official advice that they could send him no more re infV'mpnts, as all the troops Masonic iRotice, npHE members of Concord Lodge, Ay?. 5S, Tarborough, are informed that the funeral rites of Brother Allen J.
