IN. Ediior4 The blessed Saviour Of man
hath said, weep with those that weep, and re-
ioice with those that do rejoice.
DIED, at the residence Of her husband in
Madison county, Mississippi, on Thursday the
18Th inst, Mrs. DELLA A, BRIsooE, wife OF
John J. Briscoe, and daughter OF C.G Sanders
Esq in the Goth year Of her age.
The Madison Church, (Pres3 in the provl'
dehce Of God, is called upon the first time, to
record and mourn the loss Of one Of its mem-
beers. A beloved disciple Of the Lord is taken
from our midst - that rest which remaIneth
for the people Or God. In this affective dispen-
sation of Divine Providence, which has severed
from our communion one whom we esteemed
and loved as friend and Christian; we would
not mourn, but bow with submission TO the
will Of our heavenly Father; remembering,
that our loss is her infinite gam. Since her
connection with the Church Of Christ, she
ever eyinced a strong attachment for the ordl-
nances Of the Lords house, and by a pi1us and
exemplary life, she secured the confidence and
esteem Of all her brethren. Her illness was
short, and at intervals attended with much pain.
To most Of her friends her death was sudden
and unexpected; but not SO with her, she was
ready when the voice Of the bridegroom was
heard, to enter in with him. When the writer
Of this entered the chamber Of the departing
child of God, D! what a blessed scene was
there witnessed. Amid the deep anguish OF
sorely stricken, weeping friends, there was one
in whose breast a heavenly calm reigned; all
was peace and resignation within. After some
conversation with her, appropriate to the occa-
sion, which was Of the most satisfactory cha
%racter, she said, though | pass through the
dark valley and shadow Of death | fear no evil
No cloud of doubt or fear interviewed between
her soul and the bright celestial world on high
In health she had prepared for death; at hel
request, that appropriate Hymn, commencing
"On Jordan's stormy banks | stand" was sung
she continued conscious and tranquil unto the
end, then in the arms Of Jesus reclining, gent
ly b enthed out her spirit there.
She has left an infant daughter IA days olr
and a disconsolate husband, q weeping Father
Brothers and Sisters to mourn theil irreparabIt
loss. The numerous brethren and sympathiz'
ing friends who attended her funeral, attest he
moral worth as a friend and christian.

CoTToN.-We noticed in our revi W of We'd
nCsda, sales during the early part Of the week
to the extent of 1000 bales, 1000 Of which
were sold on Saturday, and Monday, at a de-.
cline Of a lc. on the closing rates Of last
week, and 1900 on Tuesday, at a further falling
off Of &c. This rapid and extraordinary de-
cline was caused by the unfavorable accounts
from Liverpool, received by the steamer Gale
donna on Saturday, and Washington on Tues
day. The market opened IN W ednesday in an
unsettled and excited state, with an extreme
anxiety on the part of many factors to realize,
even at the inside rate of Tuesday, rather than
incur the risk Of suffering a still further de-
cline. The consequence was that few trans
actions occurred at still lower prices, and Mid.
ding was sold at Sic. 1t was soon found,
how ever, that at this reduced currency, there
were buyers ready TO operate literally, and the
demand being met as freely as sellers, several
thousand bales changed hands, at about Tues.
days rates. Later in the day, as the amount
Of stock pressing on the market was reduced,
prices rallied and at the close showed a deci-
ded improvement on the mornings business
The sales embraced in the aggregate fully TO-
600 bales, the greater part of which was taken
for the Continent and the North, a portion be-
ing for England and some on speculation
There was decidedly a better feeling prevalent
among factors on Thursday, and the limited
amount offering confined the transactions to
1900 bales. The ruling rate tor Middling was
&C., which was an improvement on Wednes-
days rates, and factors generally contended
for64. These evidenceso Of revived confidence
became more NANTES, yesterday, and although
prices still exhibited a good deal of ir epulari-
~, yet they we're generally in favor of the sell
lers and fully sustained our quotations below
The sales amounted to 1000 bales, making an
aggregate for the three days Of 1880 bales,
and for the week of 1850. The business Of
the week exhibits a decline during the first
three or four days Of II a l3c., Of which i a
lc have been recovered, leaving the mark Ell
still a &c. below the ruling rates previous to

MARarED-ln this county, on Friday the 10Th
inst, very suddenly, Christian HUFF TO Miss
Eliza Smith.
Thisisa case Of peculiar atrocity and should
therefore be recorded as q warning, The parties
were from Rankin--it was runaway match
after having tried at Rankin and at HiIlsborough
in vain for license, obtained here under circum-
stances that fully exonerate our Probate Clerk
from any censure. The couple were duly tied,
or welded together by our Probate Judge, who
received for his services Q counterfeit dollar.
The welded couple had departed from town,
and at the distance Of one mile were met by
the angry father Of the bride, who, without the
least resistance, or one opposing word from heI
husband, took the offending daughter home.
Should not such q case be recorded and names
givenl The counterfeit dollar and lost wife
should always be remembered as a peculiar
case.

The United States steam propeller Washing
ton, Capt. Pratt, arrived last night from Vera
Cruz. The Washington left Vera Cruz on the
5th, and Tamesco on the OH inst. She eonse-
quen'ly brings no later Intelligence than that
already received by previous arrivals. To the
courtesy Of Capt Pratt we are indebted for
Vera Cruz and Tampico papers to his day Of
sailing, and for some items Of news not hereto
fore noticed.
A good deal Of excitement exists at Vera
Cruz owing to the authentic information hay-
ing been received there that a Mexican armed
vessel had been seen in the Gull, about eighty
miles N, w. Of Vera Cruz, on the evening Of
the I'd inst. She was described as a hernia
phrodite brig, full Of men. She was first seen
by the United States propeller Secretary Blu
chanan, and though not venturing 10 attack
that vessel, she ordered the Buchanan off shore.
She first hoisted a white flag, and shortly after
wards run up the Mexican ensign. Com, Per-
ry, on hearing Of the circumstance, immediate
ly sent the United States Steamer Scorpion in
pursuit. That vessel had not returned when
the Washington left Vera Cruz, and the result
Of the chase was Of course not known.
Lieut., Thos. A. Brady, Of the Marine Corps
died al Tampico on the 9th inst.
