Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Llataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time ht canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government It is obliged to be stamped.

Thomas Denny, who was sentenced to death at the late Kingston assizes, for the murder of his illegitimate child, has received a free pardon. The chief evidence against him at the trial was Elizabeth Tarrant, the mother of the in fant, and who was charged also with assisting in the mu r d er , but the bill against her was ignored by the grand jury. Jus tice Maule, who tried him , communicated with the Secretary of State, and three weeks ago obtained a respite of the sen. tence. Other circumstances have since come to light in his favour, which have induced the Government to grant him a free pardon. Yesterday morning, at twelve o'clock, Mr. Keene, the governor of the gaol in Horsemonger-lane, re ceived the pardon from Sir George Grey, and at once libe rated the recently-condemned convict. The unfortunate man seemed overjoyed at the news, and expressed his thanks to Che parties who had interceded in his beha lf . He also thanked Mr. Keene, the governor, for his humane attent i o n to him while in the condemned cell, and since the respite. THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.

A committee of the graduates then advanced, and pre sented the following address to the Chancellor:— " We gladly avail ourselves of this the first public occasion of conferring degrees in the University of Lon don to express our gratitude for the foundation of the university, and to thank the Senate for their great and continued exertions in framing the curriculum and con ducting the examinations, by which an honourable repu tation has been obtained for its degrees, and for the time and labour which they have so long and zealously devoted to the affairs of the university. "In particular, we are desirous of thanking the Senate for the establishment of a public day for confer ring degrees, by which the members of the different col leges will be annually brought together, and which will greatly contribute to the creation and extension of a more corporate feeling than has hitherto existed among the graduates. " In conclusion, we hope we may be permitted to ex press the anxious interest which we take in the prosperity of the university, and our ardent desire to contribute to the utmott of our power to maintain it s c h aracter an d promote its welfare. ' The CHANCELLOR, in responding to the address, said he begged to assure them, in the name of the Senate, that he had received with great satisfaction the address which had just been presented on the part of the gra cbia'es. That university had been established to recog nize the great principle of rendering academical distinc tions accessible to all persons, of every class avid every religious denomination, and they should ill have dis charged the trust reposed in them if they had not taken the beet precautions in their power to insure this im portanthroelsdulatn, that hon o t u h r e a d be degrees which public estimation.ch they might conf er should —(Cheers.) Accordingly, they had devoted much time to the system of examination, and they had had the satisfaction of adopting regulations which had met with the approval of the managers of education in the colleges connected with the university, and those pre sent had now also accorded their approbation of the system.—(Loud cheers.) The number of degrees that they had now conferred was considerable, and he had no hesitation in stating that it was desirable that henceforward opportunities should be offered of confer ring them in public, as ho anticipated that that arrange terwsiotuyl.d—c(ocnhtreiebrust much to the advantage of the u .; m o n f ei t nv he founders that th e It u plug amongst the great ed uca ti ona l i ns titutions of tbis n w i v a e s r the si ty .I, i n h t a e u n l t d i o n take end d adesire country. That object must ever be kept strictly in view by those who were connected withit, but, in order that it might be fully attakne I, not only' must the Senate act zealously in the adininistration of its affairs, but the future career of the graduts . 6s themselves must be such as to raise-, by their character and teputatiOn, the esti mate in nhich the university should be held. The prhceedings, which hal Wien of a highly grati fying charact-r, termimtei with a rote of thanks to the Ch4ncellor and the Senate. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

Bryant, was ordered to take on board a large supply of coals to -day. and in addition to her bunkers being filled, will hike 20 tons on deck, es she is ordered to proceed as a tug with the vessels, and if necessary will go as far as Stromness. The Advice steam-vessel is also under orders to take on board a sup ply of coals arid other requisite articles to assist in tow ing the vessels to the northward, and they will all leave the river on Saturday morning. Captain Sir John Ross visited Woolwich yesterday and to-day, and a quantity of provisions having been put on board his small yacht, the Mary, she will leave the river to-morrow, towed by the Widgeon steam vessel, Captain Bullock, to the Firth of Forth. The Crocodile, 8, recently receiving-ship at Cork, 'wine' come round to Sheerness, is ordered to be taken up the, river to opposite the Tower, instead of the Athol!, to serve in place of the Perseus. CHATHAM, MAY I.—The following prisoners were tried yesterday at this garrison by district courts martial, of which Major J. Whitcomb, of the Royal Marines, was president, viz.:—Michael Lawler, of the 12th Regiment, a private, was tried for desertion at Windsor oa the 18th of December, 1849. The prisoner was brought into Chatham barracks on the 22d ult.,' under a military escort. He was also tried for making away with his regimental necessaries. He was found guilty. Private Marshall O'Neal, of the 15th Foot, sta tioned at Sheerness, was also tried for offering violence to Corporal William Parker, of the same corps, when sentry on the main guard at Sheerness, on the 17th ult., when in the execution of his duty. The prisoner swore that he would run him through with his bayonet, using other expressions of a threatening character. Private Thomas Slattery, of the same corps, was also tried for theft, that of stealing a penknife from one of the officers of Sheerness dockyard. These prisoners were all found guilty, but the sentence of each must be confirmed at the Horse Guards before they can be publicly known. Captain Thomas R. Mould, Royal Engineers, and who has been director of works: in Chatham Dockyards for some years, is ordered to proceed to Portsmouth to take charge of the works at that yard, in place of Cap tain James, who has resigned. The order from the Admiralty fir Captain Mould's removal arrived yester day at this dockyard. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—A short discussion that took place on Tues day evening in the. Lower House on the subject of the Registrarship of the Canterbury Prerogative Court , almost carries us back to the days of Horace Walpole and official nepotism. Will it be believed that at the time we are exercising so severe an economy that we almost count the lumps of sugar a poor half-starred clerk in a public office puts into his tea, a post—an ab solute sinecure—exists in one of the Ecclesiastical Courts, which yields its fortunate tenant 12,0001. per annum? What a sum ! 12,0001. per annum! One should like to meditate upon so glowing a theme throughout a long summer day by the side of a rippling brook, which might give tune and time to fancy over heated with the dazzling pageant of possibilities. It must be considered that this 12,0001. per annum, this Arch-Delilah of sinecures, involves no agricultural, no commercial, no railway risks. Laud rats, or water rats, land thieves or water thieves, signify nothing. There may be a dearth of cotton in Carolina or a fit of extra fertility in Tamboff ; Uncle Sam may excl ude our piece goods, or the Russian serf glat us with the cereals; Sir Robert Peel may turn traitor, or Mr. Hudson lend to his balance sheets a glowing Titianisque touch; all this matters not. The 12,000/. per annum wnich we have in view at the present moment is an official 12,0001. per annum. It is "in the nature of," or' issues from," a salary and fees. The happy tenant of the appointment need have no fear of any one but the income-tax collector. Even the visits of this individual may not possibly be without the effect of adding self-complacency to his repose. The percentage offered on the altar of patriotism quiets all scruples, and sheds a rosier hue over bis afternoon slumbers and the waking dreams of the quiet morning time, when he is passing from the temporary annihilation of sleep to the tingling consciousness of 12,0001. per annum. But like all other dreams, this one too is destined to fade away. On Tuesday evening Sir Benjamin Hall put a question to the First Minister upon the subject, and the brief conversation that arose elicitsd the following facts. The official style of the post in question ia " Registrar of the Canterbury Prerogative Court." The Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being has the power of appointing one person to the office and of nominating two others in succession. When Archbishop Moore held the see, he appointed (perhaps not very un naturally) his two sons to the post. One of these gen tlemen now survives, who, in addition to the emoluments of his office, holds other preferments, which increase his income very nearly to the mark of 15,000/. per annum. During the days of Dr. Manners Sutton the original no minee died, and he filled up the vacancy with else name of his grandson, the present Lord Canterbury. then a boy between ten and twelve years old. Dr. Manners Sutton died in 1828, and Dr. Howley succeeded him at . Lambeth. Here lot us do honour to the memory of that mild and revered prelate! He was so struck with the turpitude and iniquity of the whole arrangement, that when in 1845 John Moore, then Registrar of stos Court, died, he absolutely refused to make any appointment at all. When the fact was mentioned on Tuesday night in the House it drew forth cheers from all sides. A case of such disinterested ness is unfortunately so rare that it merits especial notice and attention. Dr. Sumner, the successor of Dr. Man ners Sutton, has not followed his example with regard to this monster sinecure. The " second reverilon" to the office of Registrar, which has fallen in since Dr. Sumner has been called to Lambeth, has been given by him to his son, a young man who is now studying at the Temple. Upon such an exercise of patronage we will not venture to comment. All that we have mentioned has been culled from the speeehes of Sir Benjamin Hall and the First Minister, and may be received as admitted facts. But in the answer of Lord John we find the fol lowing very satisfactory assurance:—" The nature of the office itself is now undergoing investigation before a Select Committee of the House. It appears to me to be one of those offices which, when Parliament is con sulted on the subject, must either be abolished altogether or so altered that no more salary should be given than is required for efficient and beneficial services." So far there could, of course, be no doubt upon the matter, but we might be pardoned for entertaining an appre hension that the unpleasant idea of compensation is young Mr. Sumner might come to be so inextricably and unpleasantly mixed up with oar satisfaction as very materially to modify its character and abate 44 fervour. It is, then, most satisfactory to find that, for this once at least, there is a special Act of Parliament—the 10th and 11th of Victoria, cap. 98 —which will entirely cut up Mr. Summer's hopes of a compensatory sum in gross for the loss of his glittering prospect. The office, it is to be hoped, will be abolished, and the memory of so gross an abuse consigned, without more ado, to oblivion. Mr. Sumner, however, is not to be driven into the howling wilderness alone as an expiatory victim for the sins of his fellow sinecurists in rue and passe: The whole array of sinecurists in the Ecclesiastical Courts, actual and prospective, must be passed in review, and all who cannot give a good account of themselves be dealt with according to the exigency of their particular cases. Sir Benjamin Hall, we see, has given a notice of motion which will cut down to reversioners. Despite of the Act mentioned above, actual tenants, at least the majority of them, would be in a position to demand so much compensation that it might become a question whether it would not be better to let the claims become extinct by the course of nature. All this, however, is no valid reason for not looking sharply into the matter. Whatever doubts may exist as to the propriety of cutting down the official salaries of those persons who actually perform services of public advantage, there can arise no very nice ques tions of policy or propriety upon the abolition of a nest of sinecures. At least, let there be no more salary given than is required for necessary services actually and effi ciently performed. THE MURDER AT CLAPHAM. The excitement occasioned by the murder continues unabated, and during the whole of yesterday, as on the previous day, the place was visited by an immense con course of persons. As the police proceed in their en deavours to ascertain some clue to the perpetrators of the outrage they find the matter enveloped in a darker state of mystery than any case of the kind in which they have been previously engaged, and they are almost at a loss to know how to act. They cannot obtain the slight est assistance from Mr. Meddle which would enable them to trace the property alleged to be stolen. Although Mr. Meddle has had the gold watch for some years, he states that he cannot tell the maker's name, where he bought it, the number of it, nor furnish any description whatever. Yesterday several officers of the detective force went to the house in Claremont -place, and in the presence of Mr. Maddle arranged all the papers and documents which bad bs en strewn about the place on the day of the robbery, and after examining them all, Mr. Maddle could not positively mate what he had lost. Among the pa pers were a large number of valuable deeds, leases, bankers' receipts and other documents, which it is very surprising were not carried off by the robbers. Mr. Meddle, by the advice of the police, has been to his banker's to ascertain whether any of his documents or cheques have been presented, as many of them could readily have beea negotiated, but nothing of the kind had taken place. In consequence of the refusal of Mr. Higgs, the coro ner, to give Mr. Parrott, the surgeon, an order to employ either Professor Taylor or Dr. Letheby to make an analysis of the contents of the stomach of the deceased, Mr. Parrott, sus we stated yesterday, applied to the Com missioners of Police for an order to that effect. Mr. Mayne, the Chief Commissioner, informed Mr. Parrott that there were no funds at the disposal of the Commis sioners for such a purpose, and advised him to again ap ply to. Mr, Higgs •for ,the necessary order, ronarking that in a case of such piablic importance he felt allured r -- 7 .-- • , /... ,•?_. e ms' .. ./9 , -, - .....--- -- Zi • _ ... 7 / 7,7 ,- -2,--e- c (--D Ge--- , ---..--z-- ( - .111111111, ► A t ~,4 2 __i ~p ~,t_k nently work ogether, even to the autumnal frost .;--,;- ~ ..,..., keeping off as lee as it did last year, yet 'the fact . 4, • ..K.'" f ' ' r / , cannot be got over that the crop of 1850-1 must in . , 1 , , i Y. , M r :t l. e; it s 6 ,, ' 7 : ', p, / . every stage of its progress be en unnatural one, and , if an early frost should occur its effects will be more -I. ------ -, ; - ...4t, ,- 4 • ~ e' / -t ,e c .,, . e ) than ever fatal.

EXTRAORDINARY APPETITE FOR A TITLE. The Lord Mayor received the following very remark able letter, which was soon followed up by another, from one of the mayors whom he had invited to the banquet at the Mansion Rouse, which Prince Albert lately ho noured with his presence:--. Mr. Higgs would grant the order. A subsequent al?pli cation was then made to Mr. Higgs, but that gentle man still refused, stiting that he had no power to give a second order, having already employed Mr. Parrot t to make the pool motem examination. The result of this communication was conveyed to Mr. Mayne, who im tne diately waited upon Sir George Grey, the Home Seore tary, aid informed the Right Hon. Baronet w bat steps he (Mr. Mayne) had taken in the mat ter. Sir George Grey agreed with Mr. Mayne that he had no power to order the contents of the stomach to bo forwarded either to Professor Taylor or Dr. Letheby, but at the same time ordered him t send Dr. Fisher. the physician to the Metropolitan Po lice-force, to Mr. Parrott, to ascertain whether they could not make the analysis. In accordance with these instructions, Dr. Fisher had an interview with Mr. Par rott yesterday, and, after having been informed by that gentleman of the inflsmmatory state of the intestines (which showed evident indications of the presence of poison), Dr. Fisher said he thought it would not be politic for him to make the analysis. Mr. Parrott still declining to make the analysis, a further communication was sent to Mr. Higgs last night, requesting him to give an order to Professor Taylor or Dr. Letheby, but the result has not yet transpired. Last evening, Mr. Smith and Mr. Field, the two active officers of the detective force, who have the case in hand, received information from a source on which they can place the greatest reliance, that a man was. seen to leave the house in Claremont-place, a little before one o'clock on Sunday, and from the description given of him there cap be no doubt he is one of two men who were seen lurking about the neighbourhood early on Sunday morning. - The police yesterday made a most minute examination of the drawers and cupboards which were broken open by the thieves, and they are decidedly of opinion that the robbery was never perpetrated by regular house breakers. The implement used for forcing open the drawers was a small chisel, the blade of which is not more than two inches long, and, what is a most extra ordinary fact, it is the property of Mr. Maddle, and was kept in a small tool. chest in the back kitchen, from whence the thieves must have taken it into the drawing-room, where it was afterwards found. The police are con vinced that bad the robbery been perpetrated by pro fessed " cracksmen," they would have taken their tools with them, and not have depended upon the chance of finding implements in the house. The manner in which the drawers and cupboards have been broken open, confirmed the police in their convic tion that the thieves were not expert hands. The chisel was not, as is usually the case, applied near the locks, but was put in at the side of the drawers, and the fronts forced out, an operation which would occupy a much longer period than forcing them from the locks. In the event of Mr. Higgs still refusing to give the necessary order for the analysis, there is no doubt from what transpired late last evening, that Sir George Grey will take upon himself to do so, as, until the analysis is made, the Government are precluded from offering any reward for the apprehension of the supposed murderers.

" Believing that my accepting the high honour in tended for the corporation might naturally and reason. ably involve a liberal subscription towards the promotion of his Royal highness's novel and grand design, I, on, that point alone, sought the sense and required the au thority of the members of the town council, which, with some difficulty, I at length got together, and the result of a lengthened deliberation was an unanimous desire that I should, with carte blanche,' accept the honour, and hasten to town..

" Having just been informed that the honour of knighthood is to be offered to a limited number of thorns mayors who actually dined at your Lordship's table on that occasion, and that amongst them will be included all the mayors of town and county,' this being one of only two or three of the same description in the realm leads me to address your Lordship with the foregoing state ment, and to express a hope that, through your Lord ship's influence and representations,- will be consi dered as if it bad been actually represented on the occa. sion referred to. " I have the honour to be, &c. " The Lord Mayor of Loudon." Two days afterwards the Lord Mayor received the fol lowing letter from the same gentleman:— THE UNITED STATES. (FROM THE TIMES CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, APRIL 16.—1 t is a matter of notoriety in this country, that since the accession of General Taylor to the Presidency, his Cabinet have, unfor tunately for him and for the people, conducted the affairs of the state in such a manner as to render his Government singularly unpopular to every descrip tion of party. Honest and well-meaning himself, and tolerant as a soldier should be regarding political creed, his election was unquestionably facilitated by the solemn pledges he voluntarily gave, that he "had no friends to reward or enemies to punish," as, also, that in the event of power being confided to him, his ambition would be to "govern irrespective pf party." Not a month elapsed after his installation before his Cabinet Councillors gave evidence that they neither shared his feelings nor regarded his promises, and under very frivolous pretexts a system of pro scription commenced in their several departments, unparalleled (during the same period) even under the administration of those Presidents who had honestly avowed their intention of so dispensing places as to reward their friends and supporters. Thus commenced disgust and discontent, from which there were found few dissentient voices except among the successful aspirants to office. With want of principle there was unfortumately combined want of ability. This was peculiarly exem plified in the erroneous calculations and dogmatical forebodings of the Treasury department, and it may safely be asserted that much of the difficulty which has occurred in Congress during the present session has been intentionally augmented, even by Whig Members, with the sole view of embarrassing the pro ceedings of the Administration. Such decided unpopularity, even among their own party, has caused frequent rumours that a dissolution of the Cabinet was about to take place ; but hitherto it has been evident that, .much as this was to be de sired by others, no such intention existed among the members themselves. Now, however, not only a disso • lution, but probably an entire change, has become ab solutely necessary, precipitated by the extraordinary proceedings of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Attorney-General in relation to a claim on the public purse, in which the first named, of these officials was largely interested. This claim bears date even previous to the revolution, and has been ineffectually urged under past Administra tions. But setting aside all malicious reports, and admitting it to have been impartially and strictly scrutinized by the Attorney-General and the Secre tary of the Treasury, before either gave their con sent to its payment, there was certainly something worse than indelicacy in the fact of a Cabinet Mi nister being himself the successful collector, during his term of office, and solely by the decision of two of his own colleagues, of a sum which had been re fused him when in private life. Mr. Crawford has demanded an investigation of his conduct, and a committee has been appointed by Congress for the purpose. Whatever may be their report, it is understood that he will resign his place, and that his example will be followed by all his col leagues. In such a case there is little, if any doubt, that the State Department (Foreign Affairs) will be offered to, and accepted by, Mr. Webster, though many think that Mr. Rives, now Minister to France, will receive the nomination.

GEORGE OWEN.—Since our last publication the above named highly-talented individual has been per forming in York some great characters with success, being called on nightly. We copy the following from the York shire Gazette, 27th April :—" On Thursday evening we had the gratification of witnessing his personation of the Moor of Venice, Othello, and our g .neral conclusion is, that this gen tleman is one of the ve ry few in existence who can alone, in our opinion, afford any material amount of aid in the resto ration of our national drama, and who can arrest or parry of the eventual excision from the catalogue of refined relaxa tions. Mr. Owen truly won the sympathies of his audience by exceeding earnestness of acting. exhibiting the most careful study and reflection. In the delineation of the passion of jealousy many artists of the present day are tempted to indulge in those footlight ecstacies which some of the public are too ready to admire; but Mr. Owen is inure fcrtunate in his reading of the sentiment, elaborating the growth of the passion to a high degree of refinement. Albeit, he is not wholly free hem that appearance of artificial contrivance which aometimee blots the boldness and truthfulness of nature. Ilis acting in the scene with lago, when the latter breathes the poisonous passion upon his heart, was exceedingly fine. Some of his bursts of feeling portrayed a degree of s% onderful fervour and depth, and were very effective, occasionally rising above all defect what ever. Ilia agony in the last scene, when he discovers the traitorism of the " honest logo," was very telling; especially in the fearful contortions of Ilia features as he scanned over with - impatience and uncontrollable irritability and passion the lette . rs disclosing the bloods' plot of the consphator.—Derby Mercury. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was held on Monday in Exeter Hall, the Right lion. Fox Maule, M.P., in the chair. It was stated in the report that the debt of the society was 13,3581. 16s. Id , arising from the deficiencies of the income as com pared with the expenditure for the years 1847 and 1848. The debt of the society was now reduced to 10,841,. 13s. 2d. T hat r eduction had been effected in p ar t b y a Mall diminh tion in the expenditure of the year 1549, but chiefly, the committee were happy to say, by a very large augmentation in the income, when compared with that of the previous near.

Some confusion was created by a Mr. Grosjean rising to propose an amendment to the adoption of the re port, but the Chairman refused to hear him, and the autho rity of the latter was supported by the general meeting. Order having been restored, and the other resolutions passed, the meeting separated after the usual votes of thanks. ROYAL INFIRMARY FOR CIIILDREN.—The thirty fourth anniversary festival in aid of the funds of this institu tion was yesterday held at the London Tavern, his Royal highness the Duke of Cambridge in the chair. The cloth having been removed, after a most excellent dinner, his Royal highness rose to propose the usual toasts, and coupled the health of the newly-born Prince with that of his Royal Parents in a most appropriate speech, which elicited much applause. In reference to the toast of the evening he stated that the infirmary had been founded, if not by, at least under the immediate sanctions of the Dukes of of Kent and Sussex; that it had gratuitously relieved upwardssl7o,ooo infants, that it extended its opfratioas to about 400 a month upon the average, and that in lastt l h eb e rate these it had dispensed its blessings to 700.

TIIE WALI3ROOK WARD SCHOOLS.—Y6isterday a meet i n g of the inhabitants of the ward of Walbrook was held in the school-room, to receive the report from the Com mon Council in respect to certain premises occupied byt a s ward; Mr. Deputy Watkins presided. Mr. Rock addressee the meeting, and made some rather strong remarks on the financial arrangements in respect to the relit charged for the school-room, and the manlier in which the school was con ducted; in the course of which he was interrupted by the chairman, who observed that his remarks did not apply to the subject under consideration—viz., the lease to the ward. Mr. Wire then rose, and a diacwsion ensued, in which the name of Mr. Alderman Gibbs was introduced, and in which some disapprobation of the remarks of Mr. Rock was evinced ; that gentleman then moved a resolution, " That the yearly payment of 1201. be stopped from December, 1851, until the accounts be produced and it could be seen how the over-rent (fur the school-room) was expended." To this, after a dis cussion in which several speakers took a part, an amendment, moved by Mr. Allen, " That art amicable meeting should be effected between the ward and the school trustees, with a view of relieving the present tenantry of the ward schools," was carried, and the meeting broke vp. The Bill before the local Legislature of this state, prohibiting corporations from pleading usury, has passed the Senate by a a vote of 18 to 7. Ic had previously passed the House, and with the signature of the Governor will now become a law. It must, however, not be looked upon as retrospective, or as having any bearing upon past transactions ; but on all bonds or obligations issued after the law goes into operation there can be no plea of usury put in for their repudiation. The commissioners of the New York Clnal fund advertised a few days since for a small 5 per cent. loan, interest payable quarterly, and final reimbursement to be made in 1866. The sum wanted was 203,415 dolls. ; the offers amounted in the aggregate to 1,623,492 dolls., at rates ranging from par to 6.90 premium. The successful competi tors have the loan at 5.30 to 6.90, which is certainly a high rate in this country for a five per cent. stock, and not only evidences the abundance of money, but the high appreciation in which the New York funds are held. Within the last fortnight three steamers have ar rived from the Isthmus, bringing a further supply of gold and specie, amounting to about 3,000,000 dolls. Another million or thereabouts has been disbursed for account of the Mexican indemnity, which events con tribute to keep the money market easy, notwithstand ing- the immense amounts tied up in cotton and other speculations. Trade generally is very dull, and cotton spinners are now working at prices far disproportioned to the value of the raw material. This is the consequence of the peculiar method on which they conduct their business. Goods sold at a credit never less, and often l on ger, than eight months, brought forward specu lators during the last summer, who purchased all de scriptions of heavy goods on the supposition that the shortness of the crop must cause prices to rule very high. In this calculation they have been disap pointed, and many of them now force their goods on the market under the imperative necessity of selling at materially reduced rates in order to meet the lia bilities incurred by their purchase. Accounts from the different shipping ports at the South, made up to the 12th instant, show a defi ciency in the rates of cotton, as compared with the same date last year, of 536,000 bales; and this con veyance will probably take telegraphic news via Ha lifax, placing the difference at 550,000 hales, while the steamer of the Ist of May will no doubt show a falling off of 600,000 bales. It should be remem bered, too, that the heavy early receipts, and the great inducement to hurry the article to market, must have left very little remaining on the planta tions. Those, in fact, who most openly discredited the estimate of 2,100,000 bales now consider a reduc tion even on that quantity to be more approximate to reality. Small as this crop will turn out, compared with the expectations of the cautiouq, yet t he indications are plain as they can be that the next will be_smaller still. Frost has again done its work at the same period when it destroyed the young plants last year, and though its effects may be more limited, yet the damage is fully made up by other causes connected with a backward spring, among which may b e reckoned a flood in the Mississippi, which is said to have laid 150,000 acres bf cotton under water. The seed is destroyed, a replant must take place, and this at a period when the trees ou g ht to be bloomin g; so I that however favourably circumstances way subs°. MIR
