Since the lst inst. about So, 900 bags

The consumption of Cotton this year,
we believe, has been greater than hereto.

owing in great measure to the low prices

sees, and the low prices at which the ma
nutac'ured article is now to be had. is
likewise in favor OF the present extended
consumption. and probably may produce
a further increase. Ii ought 10 be cons-
dered, however, that the very heavy stock
OF East India cotton will operate as some
check upon any great advance in prices.
From the beginning Of The year the mar
kei continued depressed, and prices week
ly declined until lie end OF last month.
when confidence became in some measure
restored, a demand for expectation took
place, specuiators appeared in the mar
ket, and prices have since been gradually
advancing.
This week the demand has been extern
sve, and sales have been made al an i'm
provement of Id per ID. upon the prices of
last week.-We consider the improve.
ment from the lowest point to be as toll

The rainy and uncertain weather which
we lately experienced, had the effect of
producing a speculative demand for wheat
and -four, and prices advanced little
but the fine weather We have had for
week pest, has checked the demand, and
prices are again receding.-The average
prices OF wheat for the last two weeks { be-
ing two OF the six which decide The open.
ing OF the ports are only 73s and 74s Tod
per quarter-.rom which it appears almost
certain The ports will continue shut for the
net three months after the 10th of Au-
gust; but whether they will open subse-
quent to the expiration of that period is
question that depends upon the result OF
The approaching harvest. The crops at
present look nncommonIy well, and there
certainly is every appearance of a produc-
tive harvest. Already it has commenced
in the south, and ii the present favorable
weather should continue for fortnight,
considerable progress will have been
made in the southern counties.
The stock of Tobacco here is about
64oohhds. During the whole OF the year
this article has been very heavy on the
market, and prices have been gradually
declining but we are now inclined to
think they are about their lowest point, &

terial improvement, yet We are Of opinion

utility of that object, communicated, in

OFFICIAL REGULATIONS
Respecting passengers on board merchant
vessels.


Treasury Chambers, 4h Jane, 1910.
The American Chamber OF Commerce at
Liverpool, having applied to the LORDS
Commissioners of hi, Majesty's Treasury,
that the American ships now al Liverpool,
may be allowed to carry out one passenger
for every FIVE tons burthen of the ship, and
that he number Of passengers may not be-
restricted TO one for every five tons remain
ing unIaden, as directed under late con
struction of the acts of parliament 10 that
effect, communicated to you in the letter
of this Board oil 9th May last and my
lords having had under their consideration
the act Of 43d Geo. 3. chap. s, observe
tina, in the FIRST section thereof, il is provi-
ded that no British ship shall be allowed
TO carry more than one passenger for every
two tons of that part of the ship remaining
unladen, including the crew; and that the
18th section of the act provides, that mas
tiers of foreign vessels shall not have on
board more than one person tor every hive
tons burthen, including the crew.
As this clause refers to the whole burthen
or tonnage OF the ship, and not to the part
unladen, my lords are Of opinion, that the
number OF passengers to be carried by to-
reign ships should be regulated. as they
understand TO have been the practice HI
therto, by the number OF tons, and not with
reference to the tonnage of the wares and
goods with which the ship may be laden
and that if the whole number of passen-
gers, including the crew, do not exceed
one per FIVE tons, that the same may be
lawfully conveyed under the conditions OF
the act AID Geo. 3, cap. Sc, in foreign
ships, and under the conditions OF the 56th
Geo. 8, cap. la. in British ships also.

in a given number OF people, this dreadful

certain districts death has paid a visit to
almost every family. Pittsburgh has not
been uncommonly unhealthy; the same dis

the same comparative extent, nor with the

Mr.. SNowDEN,
While as Americans we cannot but SIM
cereIv lament the riot and conhagra'ion that
lately took place in Philadelphia. all who
have the least sense of justice must feel
extremely indignant at the wicked attempt
10 cast the odium of that unfortunate affair
ON the IRISH, who had no more to do with
il than the cabinet at Washington.
The mistatement appeared in several
papers, as well as the United States Ga
zette, whose respectable editor has since
made some atonement by stating the truth
He says, we gave the information as
we had received it, that principal part of
The mob were lrishmen. We do not now
believe it." He further adds, and we
are told too, that the mayor mentioned yes
terday morning, that he could not find that
there wers any IRIsHaEN among The rioters"
After this evidence, and others equally
conclusive, should suppose that every IN
dependent editor could not show more res
pect Tor himself and his press, than to make
the truth known, and reiute the foul SLAM

account, we learn with sincere regret, that
Richard Oglander, Esq. his Britannia
Majesty's Coosul General at that place,
man of great worth, aud 10 the prime Of
| life, had fallen victim TO this dreadful
maiady. The plague had NOT reached
Tripoli, but there is no doubt, from the
faDaticism Of the Musselmen, that it will
soon reach that place; it may then extend
10 Derne and Bomba, when it will be are
rested by the Lybian Desert. Ii appears
that this dreadful contagion first broke out
lat OraD, from thence it extended 10 AL
Igiers, and SO on across the Atlas noun
Itains, into the heart Of Morocco, and
eastward 10 Tupis; il has also spread to
the westward and reached Constantine,
Kairwain, and other populous towns. 1t
is somewhat surprising, that with all the
aud discoveries ia the heal
ing art, with all the scientific researches
and experiments, which have taken in
their range every disease incident TO man,
that 10 cure, no effectual remedy has ever
been discovered for this sweeping pesti-
lence. As the most stubborn diseases
have yielded TO skill and proper remedies,
SO we believe that this disorder could be
cured, as it certainly could be prevented.
Unfortunately, the religious prejudices Of
Mahometans prevent the adoption Of
measures which may tend to check the
progress Of this malady. 1t is contagious
and not an epidemic disease. When a
part of city is affected, and it is sur
rounded, and carefully guarded to prevent
any connection with it, the disease expires
of itself; but, the Turks take no precau-
ton, and apply no remedy. That empire
is fast decsying. Pestilence will do more
than the sword, and religious intolerance
and bigotry unite with other causes to pro-
mote its downfall. The sooner the bet.
ter. The friends of humanity are tired
of this despotism which prohibits the use
Of those specifics, which Providence has
pointed Out for the use of man, and which
continues to cover noble quarter OF the
world with the shield of darkness and sue
perstition.--We do not, however believe,
that 700 persons die in day at Tunis
at that rate, the inhabitants would soon be
swept away; besides, there is no mode Of
ascertainiDg the exact number, but it will
be readily conceived, that 10000 inhab-
itants, cribbed in city Que third the size
of New-York, with narrow and filthy
streets, aud confined atmosphere must
suffer greatly. The foreign agents must
be depIorably situated ; he 10 fortunate
who is honored by his country with that

| sincerely hope this great example and
these evidences Of general utility, may
impress your patriotic Legislature, to erect
another monument to perpetuate the glory

Tue example of this favored county

PITTsFIELD, LIST March, 1919.
1t is with great pleasure inform you,
that the legislature has recently passed an
important act for the permanent encour-
agement Of our agricultural and household
manufactures. This pleasing event is
deeply connected with the welfare and fu-
ture destinies of this state.
The provisions of the act are
!. All county agricultural societies
who shall establish a permanent fund Of
one thousand dollars, shall receive from
the state treasury two hundred dollars a
year.
2. Every Incorporated company which
shall raise from one to six hundred dollars
yearly, shall receive an equal sum--not
exceeding, however, 600 dollars in all.
The plain amount Of the law is, that eve
nv incorporated agricultural society in
this state will have it in their power to
draw from the state treasury yearly, the
sum Of 5000, for the important purposes
of improving our agriculture and extend
inc our domestic manufactures, which is
