THE MANHATTAN CLUB.—The New York corre-
spondent of the Mobile Tribune, in his letter of Nov. 15,
writes : —The new political club—the Manhattan—will
soon become as widely known as the Union or the Loyal
League, judging by the character of its members and the
importance of their influence in State and National politics.
Such men as Charles O'Connor, George Ticknor Curtis,
Dean Richmond, John Van Buren, Augustus Schell,
August Belmont, and other members of the Manhattan
Club, can wield a powerful influence in political affairs,
and under their leadership it is to be hoped the Demo-
cratic party will be redeemed from the uses to
which it has been put by unprincipled demagogues.
It sadly needs reformation-1 refer to that portion of it
familiar to Gothamites—and these are about the best men
to take it in hand and lift it to respectability again. Man--
ton Marble, editor of the World, is secretary of the club,
and John Van Buren is president. The former gentleman
is one of the ablest writers on the metropolitan press ;
though young, has already become a power in his party.
His articles are not always clear to the masses, but they
bristle with logic and prove very troublesome to his oppo-
nents. The admission fee to the club is 150 dollars, and
the yearly dues 50 dollars. The machinery is so arranged
that disreputable politicians will be excluded.
Neill Brothers and Co., prominent cotton brokerS
to two
at New Orleans, estimate the amount of cotton still to
come forward at 960,000 bales. The total of the old and
new crops they estimate at from two millions
million one hundred thousand bales.

DEATH OF SIR FRANCIS L. HOLYOAKE-GOOD-
RICKE, BART.—On Friday last the above-named baronet
died at his seat, Sherburne House, Malvern Wells. The
deceased baronet was born Nov. 13, 1797, and married,
Aug. 2, 1827, Elizabeth Martha, daughter of Mr. George
"';ebruary
Y Good-
riPayne, of Selby Hall, Northamptonshire. The late bero-
ailee ,
s estates.f G
net whose name was " Holyoake," took the additional
n
rigHkeeownaeil
inheritingi.p .
for the
Staffordlate S ifrroHma
to May, 1855, and from South Stafford from May 1835, to
1837; and in 1834 he was high sheriff of Warwickshire.
od
Sir Francis was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge,
where he graduated in 1819 B.A. He is succeeded in the
baronetcy and estates by his oldest son, Captain Harry
Holyoake-Goodricke, of the 90th Foot, who served through
out the Crimean war, and was severely wounded at the
Redan.

Never did we have to note a more dreary and inactive
opening of the racing season than that which, in a racing
point of view, ushered in the year 1866. Scarcely two
dozen members were present at one time during the after-
noon at " the Gate," and the following scanty list of quota-
tions comprised all the business done :
