on Sunday morning last. It appears that the deceased, an
unmarried man, had allowed his housekeeper to leave the
house on the Saturday night, to visit her friends. His house
is in a lonely part of the country. On the Sunday morning

COTTON TRADE.
(From the New York Herald of .April 29.)
The cotton market throughout the United States seems to
be rather inert. Holders are firm, from the diminution of
receipts, and the hope that the new crop will be less in mag-
nitude than the last, and that the low prices of the last will
enhance consumption. Buyers do not seem to submit to
demands based upon these views ; hence the operations are
less.
