NEW ORLEANS, June ?

z. We have scarcely observed less animation in the market, even at midsummer. The receipts of Western produce have fallen of very materially within the last few days but the stocks ample with very little de- mand, while cotton and tobacco remain almost entirely inactive.
 Cotton.-Arrved since the 2sth ult, 2679 b. Cleared in the time, s945 b-making reduction in stock of 6266 and leaving on hand inclusive of all on shpboard not cleared on the lst inst, stock of o2,87 b.
 The demand for cotton on Saturday last, was on the same limited scale noticed in review of that morning AS having prevailed for week before; but the market, however, continued to exhibit undminshed degree of hrmness and the days transactions which amounted to about l500 effected at rates fully high those previously current Since the receipt of the accounts by the Caledonia, market has continued in of al- most unparalleled duness the sales of Monday and Tues day scarcely amounting together to 400 b. Buyers seem to be considerably discouraged; much indeed, that few of them have manifested any disposition to negotiate for parcels of any magnitude Nothing has ranspired that would auhorse any change in pre- vious quotations, though in the present inactive and gloomy of the market they of be view ed entirely nominal The stock of Louisiana and Mis- ssipp Cottons on sale light but the supply of Tennes and North Alabama is very fair. The sales of the three days amounted to 1887 b.
 Exchange remained without alteration, and freights were exceedingly dull

 .. Southerners begn to arrive in the city pretty freely notwithstanding that the season is so eary,- that is, mean those whose business calls them the North in the winter season. They tell woeful stories of poverty and distress in all sections, owing to the high rate of Exchange, short crop and general stag nation of trade. small southern trade is expected.
 In political way there are matter of some interest maturing here. Tomorrow evening dinner comes of in honor of N P.

FLoRIpA.-The Indians occasionally perpetrate
 murder, just enough to show that their appetite for blood is as ravenous as ever. few days ago an individual was shot near Pilatka, and about the same time man named Livingston slain and barba- rously mangled near Ocilla.
 At Tampa, on the Eth inst. 23O Indians, of whom 50 were warriors, were shipped for the West; and on the 18th inst there in at that post 42 or 43 Indians, of whom IA were warriors. Several ap- pontments have been made for ''talks" which il was thought, would end in the emigration of number ol the most active chiefs and warriors.

"Wc Regret. We should imagine that nearly all the editors in England without crapebands round their hats, so continually do we hear of their lamentations. ''We regret' is their lips. If peer of the realm sinks into his family vault, if a member of Parliament adourns to Hades, the journal ists cannot communicate the sad tidings without a predatory 'sWe regret" No subjects are beneath their sympathy. If prize pig expires of the measles, if a chmney-pot tumbes into the streets, ifa lady loses her pattens, philosopher his wits, "We re- gret'' is the incessan refrain of the doleul dltty.

FRIGHT 1s PRACTIoE.-0fhcial delinquency or interference in elections was to be the of movas from office. We venture to say that nine out of every ten removed by this administration far have not been obnoxious to either of these charges. We find abundan: evidence of the fact in the praises which lavished by many of the whg papers on the democratic office holders. The Boston Courier, speaking of the new appointment of Postmaster, says-
 JOUR PosT-OFFICE.-Mr. Gordon, the newly appointed Postmaster of Boston, was duly installed in the premises Monday morning. He has long been known to many of our citizens, as business of great activity, and if he serves the public as Postmaster, with much zeal as he has served the Whig party for the last few years, there will be no cause of complaint
 "Mr. Greene, the late incumbent has been most faithful an accommodating officer, and his regrets for the loss of office must be, some degree, consoled by the testimony which the press uniformly bears to his worth. Whatever pecessities there might exist for the change, we are sure they would not arise from any want ofability faithfulness in him. We never heard complaint against hIm, except from indi- vdual. His administration has been impartial, and his demeanor, a public officer, courteous and polite to all, of whatever political creed"
 In Philadelphia similar encomiums passed on the official conduct of Mir. Page the postmaster, while that conduct contrasts so strongly with the oii- cer there, that the whg merchants themselves cir culating petitions for his removal. We could mem ton instances in the Mobile Custom House, but in- asmuch as they known to every one, it is unne- cessary.
 These things all go show that the "powers that be- the rankes hypocrtes alive and should teach the people that party which can cooy falsify prom ises as soon as they made, is unworthy to be trusted as far out of sight can throw mill stone.

In another column are the full returns of this State, except from one county (Covington, which in Nov. cave a whig majority of 123). The democratic ma iority is now 5,s97;-at the November election 1t was 5,52O, showing increase of 377 votes, which will probably be diminished hundred votes by the returns of Covington county.
 At the November election the aggregate number ol votes was 62 462 -so far in the election just passed it is 4l l14 being decrease in the entire vote oi 21 ,347.
 There are 659 scattering votes, of which 62O were given to Col. Dunn, evidently under the m- pression that he was the nominee of the whig party These should be added to the total of Gen. Burke, oi this district, and will bring that gentemans vote to I7,2A,-about 40 ahead of J. M. Lewis, who runs considerably behind his ticket.
 On the democratic ticket the highest vote (Chap- man's) is 49 above the next below him, and 337 above the lowest on the ticket (Houston).
 On the whig ticket the highest vote (Crabb's) is 3S2 above the next below him, and 65S above the lowest on the ticket, c. M. Lewis) assuming that the votes given to Col. Dunn are abstracted from Mir. Burke.
 The triumph of the democratic party we believe to be more complete than it ever before Tn this State, and we take the liberty of construing this to mean an entire approbaton of the general ticket law In the August election it will be only necessary fol our party to bring out it's whole strength, and nc doubt can exist that it's majority will reach seven thousand at least The papers in the country and the democratic committees and societies should impress upon the people the necessity of attending the polls greater effort will be then made by inc whigs ant corresponding effort should be used on our part to ensure as glorious a triumph possible.
