MONMOTJTHSHIRE-MONDAY.

The attendance-at the local markets of the county has
not been large of either buyers or sellers during the last
few days, and only a small business was transacted. In
the wheat trade the unfavourable weather for harvesting
has had the effect of sending prices up 2d. to 3d. per bushel,
and in some instances 4d. ; and this has materially checked
transactions.

The Cotton in America.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. -
SIR,—As considerable misapprehension has for some
time existed as regards the quantity of cotton still in the
the Southern States of America, I beg to send you for pub-
lication the following extract from a private letter of a corn
mercial correspondent of a highly respectable firm in this
town, and dated New Orleans, July 18, 1865 :
" The following is a statement of the stock of cotton in
the Southern States, as compiled by the agents of the Go-
vernment going from plantation to plantation :
Stock of cotton in Virginia B,OOO bales
71 t 7 North Carolina
71 . " South •do 97,000

Total east of the Mississippi

Total 1,242,000 „
of stock from old crops. The new crop may be estimated
from 400 to 500,000 bales, which, added to the above, gives
the total supply during 1865 and 1866. We consider these
estimates to be more correct than any of those lately pub-
lished, it may be that at the end they differ from the rea
quantity, by 1 or 200,000 bales, more or less, but it is not
possible to give the exact figures beforehand. We must,
however, particularly draw the readers attention to the
fact, that in the above figures, no allowance whatever has
been made for rotten or otherwise useless cotton. It
would result, should the above prove to be correct,
that the late estimates of 2* millions of bales of actual
stock, as given by the New York papers, and said to be
official, were strongly exaggerated. Thus, America, could
up to the latter end of 1866, provide the consumption with
only II million of bales, and deducting from these figures
at least 500,000 bales for home consumption, and deducting
further no inconsiderable allowance for rotten and spoilt
cotton, there would remain but a very limited quantity for
Europe. Under Such circumstances we may not yet hope
to have arrived at the end of the cotton crisis, on the con-
trary we must yet expect some critical moments before the
right proportion is restored between the stock and con-
sumption. Theiefore actual prices can by no means be
considered as being too high."

I am anxious that this reply to the extravagant reports
lately put forth should appear in your columns, for I find
that the concurrent testimony of all private American cor-
respondence to agree with this estimate, and to entirely
disagree with the report put forth as official by the New
York 'Jerald, and which proves totally unreliable.

The idea of any large quantity of cotton being received
from America the next six months is, therefore, quite out
of the question, and it will be well for those in the trade
to notice that the shipments of cotton from America have
thus been, with the war over, very little more than those
of last year ; whilst the consumption of cotton in America
at present is fully 10,000 bales per week, with the prospect
of still further extension owing to the increasing demand
for cotton goods and the high protective tariff.—Yours
truly, MAURICE WILLIAMS.

HUNTINGDONSHIRE.

A deputation of Huntingdonshire farmers waited
upon the St. Ives bench of magistrates on Monday
respecting the introduction of diseased cattle into
the market.

Mr. Nix, of Somersham Fen, inquired of the
Bench whether they had any power to appoint an
inspector to prevent the admission of diseased cattle
into their market, which was a very large one.
He and other farmers saw many diseased cattle in
the market that morning mxed with healthy stock,
and if that were allowed the disease must be
carried upon the farms. It was becoming a serious
calamity, and he was sure the Bench would render
them all the assistance in their power.
The Rev. G. JOHNSTON (chairman of the Bench)
said there was no power that would authorise them
to appoint au inspector. He thought that if a peti-
tion were drawn up and sent to the proper quarter
it would be well considered.

Mr. A. SPEItLING (a magistrate) said that an
order had been issued by the Privy Council
respecting the city and neighbourhood of London,
and he had no doubt that if a petition were for-
warded to the Home-office it would be extended
to St. Ives. It would be proper to have a number
of signatures attached 4 to the petition, as it was a
very important matter to close a market.

The Rev. G. JOHNSTON said the magistrates
would send the petition for the deputation with their
strongest recommendations. That would be the
proper course to pursue.

The deputation thanked the Bench, and promised
to wait upon them again on Monday next.

ESSEX.

It was agreed at the meeting at Chelmsford, no-
ticed in Ihe Sun of Monday, that a memorial
should be prepared and sent to the Privy Council,
asking to have inspectors sent down to the different
markets in the county with power to destroy any
animals exhibited for sale that might be infected, or
to provide such other means as might be necessary
to prevent contagion. The disease has been no-
ticed at Easton, near Dunmow, Hazeleigh, Sandon,
and other points. In most cases the introduction
of the disease on a farm has been traced to pur-
chases made in a public market.
London, England, 1865-08-16

The prisoner, it may be remembered, were of a gang of
scoundrels, who watch the jeweller and gold-case makers'
errand boys as they come home from Goldsmith's-hall or
the flattening mills, and plundered them of whatever
article they may have in their possession. In prisoner's case
prosecutor was a gold watch-case maker, living in Rahere-
street, Clerkenwell, and the robbery took place a fortnight
before Christmas. The prisoner was not taken at the
time, but on the 20th of June policemen Evans and Sutton
were on duty in Wentworth-street, Whitechapel, and they
saw him, and on their attempting to take him into custody
he drew a knife and wounded the constables very severely
and made off. On the 20th of June, hearing the prisoner
was in custody at Birmingham, the constables went down
and took him into custody, and ho was positively identified
by the boys robbed as the man who had taken their mas-
ter's property.

Inspector Bryant said the prisoner was a ticket-of-leave
man when he committed the robbery.' Ho was ono of the
most desperate thieves he ever knew, and formed part of a
gang of men who were habitually robbing the boys under
the circumstances stated.

The Common Serjeant sentenced him to 14 years' penal
servitude.

The Common Sorjeant ordered the two constables a re-
ward of each for their praiseworthy conduct during the
capture of the prisoner.

TIIOWING A BOY INTO A Tun OF WATER.—Richard
tennersley, a labouring man, was charged before Mr,
Knox with assaulting a little boy about seven years of age,
named Edwin Checkley, by throwing him into a tub of
water.

A young man named Price, residing in Brewer-street,
Golden-square, proved seeing a number .of boys splashing
one another with water from a tub of water used in mixing
lime, the road being under repair. The prisoner walked
up to the complainant and threw him into the tub, and left
him to get out the best way he could.

The boy said that while standing by the tub tho pri-
soner caught hold of him and threw him into the tub of
water.

The prisoner said the boys were not only splashing each
other, but every ono who passed.
The witness Price said the prisoner for some time had
stood laughing at the boys.
Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 10s. or seven days.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Six,—The case of Wm. Watson, at Marlborough-street
Police-court, reported in your impression of last evening,
is by no means an isolated one. I myself was served pre-
cisely similar some months ago at elerkenwell, with the
exception that the persons, three in number, who wit-
nessed the transaction, were strangers to me, but never-
theless kindly offered and did go to the station, and were
refused admittance, although I told the officer in charge
there were two or three persons outside to speak in my
behalf. His answer was, " They must come in the
morning," and I was consequently locked up on the con-
stable's own false and =contradicted statement. Despite
Inspector Walker's denial that such is the practice, I
maintain that it is tho rule, and not the exception. Your
insertion of this, I have no doubt, will find many re
spouses.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully,
Aug. 15, 1865.

CRIME IN FRANCE,

Tho Tribunal of Correctional rale° on Thursday tried I
two men named Andrieux and Lacour, on a charge of
having established an unauthorised lottery. A man named
Favier was also charged as an accomplice in giving
pubiicity to the scheme and in selling tickets. It appears
that the first two defendants purchased some of the
Crddit Fonder bonds, which are entitlegl to prizes if they
comemeannounced they then pub-
liclyings

to any person who would purchase the tickets,
out fit a t
the quarterly
intention
and they offered them at very low prices. As this
constituted a lottery entirely distinct from the combinations
of the Credit Foncier, and not sanctioned by the privileges
granted to that company, the present proceedings were
taken. The charges having been fully proved, the Tri-
bunal condemned Andrieux and Lacour each to pay a fine
of 200 f., and Favier one of 50f. The confiscation of all the
tickets and papers seized was also ordered.
The Tribunal of Correctional Police yesterday tried a
man named Barousse, aged 28, charged with obtaining
money under false pretences, and also with stealing a gold
watch, the property of M. Casaux, the well-known singer
at the Opera, who deposed as follows :—" About a
month since, the prisoner, whom I had never seen before,
called on me, and after stating that his father had been a
commissary of police at Toulouse, my native place, re-
quested that as a fellow townsman, I would give him 15fr.
to save him from being expelled from his lodgings. I
gave him 201 r., and he went away. A few days after he
came again and asked me for 10fr. or 15fr. more, which I
refused. On the 10th it'd. ho tatitd a third time, about six
in the evening, just as I was going to the Opera, and im-
plored MO to let him have 6fr. or Tft. to pay for a power of
attOrhey to enable a person at Totiltitt§d tti receiVe for him
his share of his deceased father's property. I expressed
my willingness to let him have the money, but added that
I would first Consult the edthmigsaty of police On the
matter, and told him to meet me at that functionary's
office in the morning. I then went to the opera. On re-
turning home I found that the prisoner had called in my
absence, and told the servant that I had authorised him to
write a letter there, and on tho table lay a note written by
the prisoner, stating thathehad taken my watch, and would
return it on Sunday. The next day I received another
letter informing me that he had pawned my watch and
would redeem it as soon as ho got his money. I then
lodged a complaint with the police and the prisoner was
arrested." Evidence was given to provelhat the prisoner
had for some time lived by obtaining money by means of
bogging letters, and that he was an old offender. The
Tribunal declared the charges proved, and condemned the
accused to three years' imprisonment.

NORTH WILTS.

Mr. Southern Estcourt has issued an address to
the electors of North Wilts, stating that increasing
bodily infirmity renders it necessary for him to re-
tire from Parliament at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity. The right hon. gentleman says :—lf I had
reason to hope that rest or other remedies might re-
store me to health, I might still further rely on your
extending to me the same generous indulgence with
which you have borne for upwards of two years my
frequent absence from engagements in Parliament
and the country ; but my own personal convic-
tions, the experience of last summer, and the posi-
tive injunctions of my medical adviser warn me that
I must not again attempt any service in the House
of Commons. It would not be right that North
Wiltshire would remain another year with one of
its members incapable of taking a part in the busi-
ness of the nation ; nor should I be willing to retain
a charge which I cannot again hope to fulfil. I
must not therefore hesitate to ask you to substitute
a more efficient representative for one whose work
is done." In his retirement Mr. Estcourt will carry
with him the esteem and regard of every Wiltshire
man. It is probable that Mr. Walter Long will
not again offer himself for the representation of the
county, and it is said that the Right Hon. E. P.
Bouverie, the present member for Kilmarnock, will
offer himself as a candidate for one of the seats in
the Liberal interest. He is building a large mansion
in the neighbourhood of Devizes, and commands
considerable influence in that part of the county.
Some of the leading Conservatives naturally looked
upon Mr. Richard Long as his father's successor,
but it is understood that the hon. member stands
pledged again to contest Chippenham, in conjunc-
tion with Sir J. Neeld, in opposition to Mr. Lysley,
the present Liberal member for that borough.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE PENINSULAR
AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY'S MAIL
STEAMER RANGOON.—By the arrival of the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's mail steamer Ran-
goon at Suez. telegraphed to the company yesterday, in-
telligence has been received of a very shocking accident
having occurred on board that vessel by explosion, shortly
after her departure from Bombay to Suez. According to
the brief particulars contained in the telegram it appears
that the catastrophe took place on the 18th of last month,
when a quantity of gunpowder, stated to be about 71b., ex-
ploded somewhere in the vicinity of the after cabin saloon,
causing the death of two passengers (a female and a child),
and doing damage to the furniture and fittings of the state
cabin; that afterwards it was discovered that the explosion
had set

After the tedious and monotonous course which
the debates of this session have hitherto taken, the
Rouse was last night enlivened by a discussion dis-
tinguished for considerable eloquence. Sir HUGH
C nxs is certain to make an impression on his
hearers, and when he chooses a topic on which he is
naturally so interested as Ireland, he becomes more
earnest and eloquent than usual.

fallacies that mark the policy of Minister. in Ire-
land was very striking. Ilia
searching observations
and his keen satire must have been .
very Inconve-

riots, which took place last August, certainly call for
the consideration of Parliament, and it is advisable to
call attention to the glaring errors which allowed such
a state of things to occur. It is always the wisest
and the truest policy for those in power to guard
against the possibility of any outbreak by every
means at their command, instead of allowing things
to take their chance, as it were, and, when the
harm is done, to adopt measures that annoy and
irritate, but cannot remedy the evil or repair the
ravages coaimitted. It is impossible to peruse the
speech of Sir Huciii CAWS without being impressed

and the remarks it has drawn forth, ag frOliqz..*2lll"t`k
Father as from his First Minister, could not, -of vour:tti
casion us any surprise, and it is precisely- beciWeillM"
tude hitherto observed by the Holy See-didmt augur uOto—
expect from it a direct and formal assent to the arrange-
ments of the Convention or the 15th September that we
have thought it more fitting not to ask any such. This
consideration, which cannot fail to present itself of its own
accord to the mind of the Pope upon mature reflection,
offers a sufficient reply to the species of reproach which his
Holiness has seemed to express that he was not earlier
made acquainted with our intentions."

In a despatch of Oct. 28 to Baron Malaret, M.
Drouyn de Lhuys thus summarises the character of
the Convention :

" Its object is less distant and its aim better defined. It
recognises two sovereignties in Italy, and while waiting
until a more intimate agreement is able to be established
between them, secures their co-existence. Such is the
Convention. Everything outside this is only futile specu-
lation, the least danger of which is to lead men's minds
astray, to keep up uncertainty and agitation by substituting
the seductive chimeras of imagination for the sternrealities
of politics."
A despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to M. de
Sartiges, dated Dec. 27,' alludes to the ill-timed ap-
pearance of the Encyclical, which condemns the
principles of modern society, and renders more
difficult the task undertaken by France in the in-
terest of the Holy See. Another despatch of the
7th January informs the Holy See of the existence
of the circular issued by M. Baroche. The latest
despatch, that of Feb. 8, complaining of the con-
duct of the Nuncio, concludes the series.
