gbafis were steady at previous quotations.§ The potato Gocase was rpreading, and ft was feared that it would be quite extensive. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer @f this pert to-day, amounted to $190,111; pay- ments, $64,302.06; balance, 96,001,027 12. ‘The movements of cotton in this country, up to the Antest detes, in each of the past two years, have been ap annexed :— ‘Movamunes oy Corrom IN THE bean 4 ‘otal reecipts ap to latest datesin 435,964 hepa ieaite Doo. $52,227 ‘Total shipm'ts te Northern ports, Mae—Dee. 5,500 Stock om hand and on shipbeard, bend 110,963; 35,629 Whe season is drawing to a close. At the date of the Inst report, there were only about ten days left. The receipts during that peried cannot be large. For the @orresponding period last year, they smounted to about twenty-five thourand beles. For the week pre- ‘vious to the latest dates this year, the receipts amount- ed to fifteen thourand bales. We cannot expect they will be more than that for the remainder of the sea- son. In that case, the aggregate for the year ending September 1st, 1850, will slightly exceed two millions eighty thousand bales. From the South, we continue to receive more favor- ‘ble accounts relative to the growing crop, and the prospect is more fluttering than concvived previously possible. The season has thus far, sinee the warm weather commenced, been everything that could be desired to make up for the early disasters; and all we want now iso late fall and fine dry weather, to swell ‘Whe yield to about a full average. Within the past month, estimates have largely increased, and we be- Meve that most of them now range above those made ‘at this time last year, relative to the orop now coming to market. It is too early to put down figures, and we shall. therefore, reserve our estimates for a later date. On Wednesday, thw 21st of August. the law passed by the Legislature of Pennsylvania probibiting the cir- * eulation of bank notesin that State of a less denominn- tion than $5, went into operation The penalty for passing notes, except relief notes, after that date, is as follows:— hols ey of honor or profit tnder the caativutlon ef the State, for for each ays any ry eceporation er body /politie, for By auy private individual, for each ‘tlenee The banks of the State are not permitted to issue notes of a lets denomination than $5; but the act is intended to operate especially against the small notes ferued by banks ot other States. This law is a perfect Dagatelle, and is disregarded in all parts of the State. It will be hardly thought of a month hence, and the small bills of other States will continue to circulate as ‘usual, The effect of this law will be to increase the eirculation of the small notes issued by the banks of this State, as the banks out ef Pennsylvania will have the monopoly of supplying that Stato with small bills. The only part of the law referred to, that will be enforced, ia that clause prohibiting the banks of Pennsylvania from issuing smail bills thus making vacuum to be filled by the small notes of banks o! other Btates. ‘The value of exports from Baltimore during the pact week was $120,007 36, ‘The first loaded boats passed the Collector's office at New Hope, on the Delaware division, since the da- mage by the flood, on the 10th inst. The tolls received at New Hope for the week ending August 17th, were $683 16; the pumber of boats which passed through the canal was 335, of which 179 passed through the outlet lock to the feeder of the Delaware and Raritan Canal.

Wasuin@ron, Aug. 26, 1860. ‘The Book Fightin the Senate—Mr. Palmer Laid Out ‘The scene was varied to-day in the Senate by an amusing, sarcastic and pungent speech of Mr. Benton on the “battle of the books,” and in oppo- sition to the system of promiscuous job printing and job appropriations for books He exposed some of the excesses of the liberali- ty of the Senate in this particular; and if all the public money squandered by Congress upon use- Jess trash in the priating of it, or purchase of it, er subscriptions to it, for the last twenty years, were added together, it would amouut. at least, to two millions of money, equal to $100,000 a year, in ex- penditures mae trashy books and documents, good or nothin, the main but waste paper. The book of Mr. Aaron fH Paliner i is, however, a book coutaining tnuch valuable informatioa, and the result of great labor and research. Some co- ious extracts from it have heretofore been pub- ished inthe New York Herald ltisa book on the commercial resources of Japan, China, the Northwest Coust of Russia, and the independent Oriental nations genersily; aud in view of our prospective commerce from Sun Francisco and the =e of the Columbia river, it is a valuable worl, ‘The original draf: of the book was shown a year age to Mr. Clayton by Mr. Palmer. The Secret of State west pleased with it, und empioved Mr. Pal- mer, probably on some conuagent consideration, w cto “pee his materials at length, which he did, and surrendered them ioto the hands of Mr. Clay: ton, who appended the work to a communication to the Senate recommendiag an act of Congress authorizing the appointment of a special commer- cial commissioner to the Eastern nations, to make treaties and open new markets for our fature Paci- fic trade. Of course, had the ect passed, Mr. Pal- mer would have gone out to Japan and the other Oriental nations oo the Eustera flank of Asia. But the work of Mr, Palmer was in the posses- sion of the Seaate, through his su render of it to the Seereiary of State. The object of the resolution, te-day, was to give to the author the copy-right of the book, and to subseribe for 3000 copies at the rate of $2, which would have been equal to a compen- sation of $6,000 for tue work, to begin with, Seve- ral years labor were probably worth it; but the re- enle turps out badly for Mr. Palmer. ‘The resolu- tion wus rejected by a vote of 23 to 13, and the manuscripts remain in the possession of the Se- nate. And here we leave the case. The Senate have the book, and they refuse to re up the copy-right, in order to subveribe for it his is, at least, econ- omy. The question of compensation to Mr. Pal- mer, is a thing which he must look after himself. Wasuisarox, August 26, 1850. The Verge of the Struggle. The House lingers upon the verge of the strag- gle—the closing combat upon the copious and com- prehensive echedule of measures passed by the Senate. Another day will probably be ocenpied upon the general Appropriation bill, and then will come the tug of war. The opposing sectional parties of the House sppeui to regard each other with mutual distrust and suspicion. While the moderadoes express contideace of passing «ll the bills, they fear the og upoo Texas and Calitor- nia. Hence they say t during this week, it will bein dd well Svemieed whether anything or everything can be done at this session. They of the Senate wish Uiah end New Mexico to be first trkon up—the administration party desire firet to settle the Texas question, and the free soil- ers are rampont to give California the precedence of every ry thing else, The question of precedence will very likely determine the result, Give the territo! the first chance, and there may be smooth mang comparatively; bat the attempt 2 put through Texas or Califoraia in advance, will, we suspect, lead to parliamentary resistance ‘and midnight sessions, aud dangerous delay. Bat we shall see. There is a majority on all the bitls, if they are properly handled by the friends of the whole series. Our Baltimore Correspondence. Battimore, August 27, 1950. The Recent Storm—Camy Meeting Sufferiags— Numerous Pires—The Census— Firemen’s Feuds. The storm on Saturday night is reported te have done much damage on the buy, several small ves- sels being reported capsized. Some of them are supposed to have had passengers ou board for the camp meetings, and a considerable loss of life is anticipated. The suffering on the camp grounds is represented to have been very great during the night, especially with those who had children with them, many of the teats being blown down, whilst all were drenched and flooded with water. Yesterday afternoon was distingaished for the number of fires in our city, keeping the firemen constantly employed from noon until « late hour in the evening.
