other circumstances, have caused'a delay

The Costs of Neutrality.

The Savannah News, referring to the recent chartering of vessels by the Governms t, &c., has the following sensible remarks:
 What with charteriug steamboats. the quitting and employing of the Government vessels, and the expenses of civil officers, the maintenance of the national neutrality, bids far to cost the people of the Unlted States anisone sum of money. This IS all right, and in better cause would be highly eomnendable. But when II IS Tecolllected that all this expense IS incurred in protecting an imbe- cIle and petty monarchy, in the exercise Of most shameful and blighting tyranny over one of the fauest and most fertile countries on the globe, there IS very little satisfaction in the reelection. Fms state of things will not be permitted to last much longer. lfSpain cannot maintain her tyran cal authority in Cuba she will be forced ultimate ly, to surrender the Island to the people of Cuba themselves, or 10 some power Of thei- choice who can give them quiet, security, and good govern ment. IL would perhaps be quite as good policy, and equally as economical for our Government to purchase the sovereignty of the Island as to ex- pend millions in protecting the Government by which it IS al present cursed.

 The New Correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin in bis letter of the sth inst, says,
 "The wess and Willis controversy, which we hoped was sileaced. has broken out la new shape which wili afford vast food fos the gosspin- appe- tite.
 Mrs. Mary ]. Coddriagtuu. wife cf Smith Cod. drington. of Rrhway. x ] . and daughter of the late Henry inman, is. or sIpposes herself 10 be, the person referred 70 by Col. Webb. as having been seiaced by Willis She has. with her has- band filed complaint iu the Supreme Court, against Webb, in which she reeites ihe fact Of her having corresponde.s with Willis. The eouespou- dence, she says. began bv her writing to Willis to disavow the authorship Of q work which he had attributed to heEi Il was kept up for two months without heE parents knowledge; but she solemnly ayers that Webb's charges of lmputItg against her are wholly false. So far from her father beliyng her guilty. and dying ot broken heart, she avers that, 10 his last hour, he had the most perfect con hdence iu her integrity and virtue.
 She Says however. that her father desired q he letters thas had passed between Willis and herself should be divered up. and deputed James Watson Webb aad George Backham, to receive them; that Webb received them carefully sealed up, to deliver l. 10 her father that her father during his last illness had requested Webb to deliver them to him. but that he had failed to d5 so; that af,et his decease, she had, through MT. Buckham, re- q1ested the delivery of he letters, but had not re- ceved them, she also adds that Webb, without any authority. had broken the seal of the package and read the letters; tha, he had read them to others, thus violating the confidence Jeposed in him by her father
 The plaintiffs further urge, that on ihc 2lSt of May last, a new application for inc letters was made, without success; tat they are fearful he sslli make the letters public, aud they therefore ask that he may b. required to deliver up the let teIs. and enioined from ever making them, or any pcgtips of them, public, in any way.
 Appended to thiS complaint. which is fully sworn to- are the aifidavitS of the mother. Mrs. lnman, Geo. Buckham, and II.

The Courier and Enquirer remaIn as yet silent on the subject, but something may be ex- peeted from Il to morrow. Heretofore, Webb has said that the lady suspected the one referred to was not the right one. Whether t will reiterate the assertion remains to be seen. If IL does not. the result of the controversy may be considered a triumph for Willis.

IT. The receipts of cotton at Boston have fallen of nearly one-half in two, years. The receipts from January b May l5 in ls49. were i60 9T6 bales; during the same tune in 1850 they were l57 7Si bales, and in ls5l 95. .93s bales. Some would take ot granted that this indicated great depres, son oi the cotton manufacture, but II does not necessarily follow that such $ the ease The probabilities are that the wide extension and n crease Of cotton manufactotles out Of New Eng land, especially at the South, where the eoitor is grown, keeps the raw article more nearly al home Fhe manufacturing interest, in cotton as ia every th'ng else, IS becoming more enlarged and st15le n our country roa year to year.

OBITUARY.

Died-In this city. on Saturday evening last, in the 33d year of her age, RostnG, wife of NIT. Lu- ther Chase, and daughter Of Mir. Edward Dunn
 Miss Dunn removed with her parents from the ciy of Albany to thS place m the year 1885, since that date she was married to MT. Chase, to whom sue has born six children, four of which are now living
 Mrs Chase had been for some months past violent sufferer yet her death was most unexpec- ted blow to her relatives and friends. They had begun to cherish the hope that she would soon re- cover from her sickness and be the same anlma- ting spirit to her household and acquantances that she had ever been-when, m a moment, she turned herself Tn her bed, and fell asleep in Jesus.
 She endured her illness throughout, with signal fortitude, patience and reSlgnaton and exhibited all those Divine graces which are peculiar to the Christian on the bed of death Her communings were with God and she delighted 10 acknowledge Him, as the haad that made her bed all her slck- ness"
 She was a devout member of the Protestant Epis- copal Church, during her season Of health was joyful and constant attendant at Prayers and sac rarnents, and jealous, in performing all her duties member of Christ, child of God, and an h. neritor of yhe Kingdom of Heaven.
 Possessed 9f warm and gushing Sympathies, of singular amitbiity and tenderness of spirit, Mrs Chase has Jeff a void as wife and mother that never De filled; while her other relations, and her friends cannot cease to remember her as en- deared to them by no ordinary ties of affection and esteem.
 It IS hard for husband to part from such wife; Il IS ptabe to see children bereft of Snch q mother; and il IS rIal to friends, 10 give up for this world such a friend as this-yet our better judg- ment teaches us 10 say, The Lord gare and the Lord hatA tztsH dlruy, Blessed bc the name Of the Lord" and to find comfort in that sentence of Ho ly Wnt, which the church pronounces when she burleS her dead out of her sight, "I heard q rOice from Heduen, sdying unto nrite: From AeHce- forth Blessed Je dead scko de i tke Lord: even saith the spirit fer they rest from her bsbors."
