PUERTO CABELLo, VENEZUELA
April 18th, 1874
We have but moment left to drop you a soil
tary line by the brig ''Token" this afternoon and
will briefly state that business has taken more
favorable turn since the suspension of the 'Cordon
Sanltaire," that odious measure of the Governor
OF this Province, which for several successive
weeks interrupted completely all commercial trans
actions in or with this city, as we have previously
advised you, and now there is considerable ac-
tivity in the market, especially in the line of pur-
chases of coffee and other national productions for
export, equally destined for the United States and
European markets. Several American vessels
have obtained despatch from this port 10 the United
States. say to New York, Baltimore Philadelphia,
Charleston, $. c., Nc. We have in port two
American vessels to-day-Barque "Amta," of and
from Boston, arrived 4th inst, uncertain when she
may leave, and brig "Pedraza," Capt. Hutchinson,
arrived here from your port on the 10th INST: she
will have immediate despatch, full as usual. The
Venezuelan Congress recently passed law which
exempts OK and COW hides from export duties for
the period of fifteen years, and, also, in order to
encourage the export OF 1--we cattle, salt beef, tai
low, grease, cheese, hides, horns and hair, said
law ordains that whenever two-thirds part of the
cargo of any vessel loading in the ports OF Vene-
zuela, consists OF any or all OF the previous men
toned articles no port charges shall be received or
collected of such vessel or vessels. This is very
important law, and ought, consequently, be made
known to those trading with this country in order
that they may have an opportunity to calculate"
properly in relation TO their future expeditions this
way.
We have nothing to communicate by this &C.
cason touching fnancierng, archbishops tumus,

in stating that this disease has almost entirely dis
appeared from amongst us; but few cases only
have been heard of lately. Fifteen or twenty

to the assiduous care and constant attention OF our
principal physicians.

House or Repr. sentatives.

WASHINGTON, Friday, 3 P. NJ.
Long before IL o'clock all the galleries OF the
House were filled and over 300 ladies were pre-
sent to attend the funeral of the late Mr. RossIER,
M. c., from Red River, Louisiana, who died yes
terday morning.
Precisely at IL o'clock the Speaker and Clerk en-
tered the hall having long white scarfs on. The
House was called over and the journal read. The
House was very full.
In few minutes the members OF the u. S, Sem
ate entered preceded by their President and Secre-
tary dressed IN white scarfs.
The body was then brought in covered with the
velvetpal, preceded by five Catholic priests white
muslin robes, aud two boys one holding a golden
censor filled with burning Incense aud holy water;
the other holding large crac,fx. The latter with
two lighted wax candles, were placed at the head
of the corpse. The priests stood at the foot of IT,
The President Of the Senate took his seat on the
right of the Speaker, and the Secretary, Dickens,
on the right Of the Clerk of the House The Sem
ate sat in the body of the House.
The Committee OF Arrangements and the Pail
Bearers wearing long white scarfs, sat down round
the corpse in the area in front OF the Clerks desk.
Then there was dead silence OF several minutes;
at last the House sprung up lnstanter, and mere
State, War, Navy and Treasury; all looking very
melancholy, particularly Mr.. Calhoun and Mr.. Ty-
Ter.
seat by the side of John w. Davis, who lately
moved to abolish his Office Mr. Calhoun and Mr.
Tyler sat down around the dead with their bltteres
revilers.
peating the usual prayers, in Latin, OF the Catholic
church on such occasions Two priests then walk :
ed round the CORPSE and sprnkled il six times with
holy water; they then walked round it again and
spr'nkled 1t, or shook the incense Jar over il six
times They then repeated another prayer, and the
Rev. pr. Rider Went into the Clerks desk and de-
Iivered eulogium on the deceased. He also ex-
planned the reason OF using holy water and incense;
and then told the members generally that their con-
duct was any thing but such as to enttle them to
the respect of the people, and that they must learn
to govern themselves before they thought of gov
erning others.
VIRGINIA ELEcTioN.-But few returns have been
received, and they give no indication of the gene.
raj result in the.State. Sufficient has been receiv-
ed to exhibit the election of ten wing and two
democratic delegates TO the House--bcing wing
gain OF three Cone in Caroline and two In Norfolk
oounties.) Neither party appears to have gained
any material advantage in the popular vote. j
will be recollected that the democIatc stroDshoidi
are the last counties heard from.
