COTTON SUPPLY ASSOCIATION.—At their usual
weekly meeting, held on Tuesday last, the execu-
tive committee of this association had an interview with
Mr. Manuel Quintana, of Peru, who submitted samples of
cotton grown on the Elias estates, worth respectively from
2s ld to 2s 3d per lb. He stated that three millions quin-
tals of such cotton might be grown in Peru equal in qua-
lity to Now Orleans ; that adequate labour may be obtained
from China and Polynesia, and the cotton profitably grown
for 7d per lb. The great advantage of Peru consists in the
soil yielding two crops each year. Two very interesting
reports on the result of experiments in growing different
species of exotic cotton in Oude, by Dr. Bonavia, were re-
ceived and read, as were also some other interesting reports
and letters from India, and a letter from Natal, stating the
difficulty of obtaining labour for cotton cultivation. Two
applications for seed were received from Queensland and
Venezuela, and granted.
THE WEDDING OF GEN. TOM THUMB AND MISS
WARREN.—The excitement and interest in the mar-
riage of Gen. Toni Thumb and Miss Lavinia Warren, the
little Queen of Beauty, increases with the days, and crowds
attend her levees to pay their respects previous to her re-
tirement to the private and domestic circle. The wedding
is to be a rich and recherche affair. In fact it promises to
be the great fashionable event of the season. They are to
be married on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The nuptial ceremonies
will take place at one of the most fashionable churches in
this city. Cards of invitation will be issued to the relatives
and friends and to some of the diet families of the city. As
the number of tickets will correspond with the number of
seats in the church, no person will be admitted except those
invited. At the close of their honeymoon the illustrious
little couple will make the tour of Europe, the trip being
merely one of pleasure, as they never intend to give public
exhibitions. They expect to be absent several years. We
can but wish them the fullest measure of happiness and
jcy.--Ike New York World.

dress by referring to local matters.

HER COMMANDER.—Despatches have been received
at Lloyd's from the Foreign .office, announcing the capture
of the British ship Martha and Emily, and the murder of

tho captain (James George Carter) by the natives, near
Formosa. The particulars have been'communicated by the
English Consul at Amoy, who had been solicited by the
representative of Lloyd's to send one of her Majesty's gun
boats to the scene of the tragedy, with a view of rescuing
some portion of the crew of another ship reported to be in
the hands of the natives.
