Remarks.-We expected to write these
remarks with later adviccs from Europe
before us. The inclcmeacy Of the wealth
or. not only in lkis section Of The country,
but in the north. has no doubt occasioned
an interruption in The regularity of the
mails. We may still be 4 few days with
out any mail from New York. VIZ shall,
therefore, abstain from any remarks on the
condition Of The cotton markets. In The
mean time we would call attentions TO The
following calculations in reference to the
probable extent Of the Cotton cpp Of The
United States Of the present ycnr. We
mas; admit that il is only after arriving a,
the results stated, that we became aware
Of the crop turning out larger than VIC ex-
pected i, would be. We give the calcu-
lariuns as we made ,hem, without further
comment, leaving il 10 those interested in
the cotton trade 10 draw their own concin-
sions. and 10 anticipate suc!, results as their
Judgment may suggest.
SO far. the receipts at the following

1t seems TO be pretty generally agreed by the
newspapers and letter writers at Washingt that
there are shorty some important changes to take
place in the presidents cabinet. On tits point
Bennett has, of course, tic --latest and most au-
thentic" Information, which he gives thus, in his
turgid way: "Mr. Daniel Webster will retire from
the state department in The beginning of May, and
Immediately thcrcupon a new organization will
take place in the cabinet Mr.. Webster has jasi
sisniied this intention to the president, and it is
probable that he will either take thc mission to
London OF that to Paris, there to sGpcrntenJ
grand movement Of American diplomacy in Eu-
rope, having reference to all the international
questions between the two continents-right Of
search, right of visit, tariff, Oregon, and state
debts. Mr.. Spencer will remain at the head of
the treasury department, and, through that pow
erful channel endeavor to overthrow The influence
Of Mr.. Van Buren, in New York. 1t is also init
mated that Secretary Upshur will take the state
department and Caleb Gushing the n1vy,--hcnce
the motive the latter in recently declining
reelection in Massachusetts,"

Aaother Case Of Seduction ia Ptiiadelphia.--
Yet another case Of seduction has come to light
in the Getty of bro,hcrly love !" The particulars,
as given by the Philadelphia papers, deyeope the
seduction Of poor, delicate, unfortunate, friend
less girl, a brought up domestic in the family of a
Quaker gentleman named Thornton Walton, and
her subsequent cjoctment from the house and to-
tai abandonment by the family of Walton. This
is not all. The ruin of the unhappy young fe-
male was accomplished by son of her master,
youth, who appeared in court in Quaker garb.
But there was something worse yet in the case
something truly shocking. The poor girl was
abused threatened, and finally forced to 60 before
