bya gang of Irisllnlen, whose; business il is
to make sales to families oflinnens of almost
all descriptions. They enter almost every
house with their wares, stating that they are
only offering the products of their own labor,
and that of their families for sale; protesting
consequently to sell lower than the merchant,
who must make profit. BY such statements
they make large sales, without paving the
State taxes, paid by Merchants and Pedlars
and consequently realise handsome profits
by an open violation of our laws.
During the past week one Of these clarac.
tcrs has been making considerable sales OF
ladies' dress silks about town, in violation OF
the law. Yesterday proof was obtained
sufficient for his conviction: warrant issued

These violations of the revenue laws OF
the State should be no more tolerated than
similar violations of the revenue laws of the
United States; and every offender should be
brought to the bar Of justice for punishment.
But they are not, and why! because the
punishment is esteemed disproportionate to
the crime. Fine not less than $500 and im-
prisonment, is the penalty incurred for every
piece of goods sold in violation of The law.

THE DEAN Corrosive have recently
received some account of sales of the Dean
Cotton of last years crop. These sales
have fully sustained the previous reputation
of this cotton, having been made at ar ad.
vance of 25 to 80 per cent. above the best
qualities of the ordinary cotton. We under
stand that most of this cotton has this year
been purchased up from the few OF our plan
ters who have raised it, by gentleman VINO
came out from Massachusetts last iall en-
pressly for that purpose. While other cotton
was selling here at six or seven cents, ne gave
10 to 10 i.a cents for the Dean Cotton.-
Some lots have been shipped to Boston and
there sold at II to I2l.2 cents, while the
hest qualities of other cotton was selling
there Mt 8 to 8 cents This we believe, is
conclusive evidence Of its superiority. Those
who have raised this cotton assure us that I
is more productive than tho common kind
and that they would much prefer to cultivate
it even at the same price. 1t can be picked
out much faster and is liable to less waste
from rains and winds.
There has been great demand for the sect
of late. Mr.. Dean who introduced this cot
ton into use and who now resides in thl
city, is taking measures to have suftlcien
supply Of the seed another season. We DC
