Mr.. E. Forrest closed an engagement of twelve
weeks, at the Broadway theatre New York, ON
Friday evening-being the longest engagement
known in theatrical annals in this country. He
was received with great applause, and on being
called out made a speech, in which he gave a
back-handed thrust at recent verdicts, juries and
judges. Afterwards, in the green-room splendid
gold headed cane was presented to him by MEM
bers of the company. A supper given to his

YOUNG WOMEN IN HAvANA.-The education
OF females is, at best, very superficial 1t consists
chiefly, after learning them to read, learning mu
Sic embroidery and light arts. The music teach
or and drawing masters are the chief school mas
ters for the young ladies of Havana. Most of
these young ladies cannot probably write their
names 1t is crediby asserted that they cannot
generally hold intelligent conversation upon ord-
nary topics, aside from what relates to balls,
theatres and amusements. Their manners are
highly cultivated. They are particularly easy
g I'd graceful in their movements and department.
Their life is round of idleness, gayety and dis
sipation, all useful labor being held disreputable,
and to be performed by negroes. They general
~ dress extensively, and tastefuy, with perhaps
an excess of ornament for American taste. Such
are the young ladies Of Havana.

THEDAILY TIMES.

The consumption of cotton, says the New ork
Express of Wednesday, is enormous, and keeps
full pace with the increased production The de-
liveiies at Liverpool for consumption for ten
weeks preceding 18th March, 1859, were one
hundred and fifty nine thousand bales more than
the same period of 1851. The consumption of
Cotton is increased in the ratio with the cheap
ness of food, and although our vast grain surplus
may not be sold at very high price, our cotton
product will yield very large amount, and at
present prices exceeding the amount actually real
zed in the year of high prices.

Intended to run between the present term-
nus of the East Tennessee and Georgia Rail-
road and Knoxville, passed up n few days

tween the points named. For some time

putc the mere right of the boat owners 10 do
just as they please with their own property
but their discrimination in favor of the low.

freights from the railroad, that We canno'
but rejoice at any arrangement that promises
to render equal justice to all interests, and at
the same time facilitate the transportation o.
produce, &c. The new steamer, we under
stand, is intended to run exclusively between

THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRJ(sr

We have frequently been asked the ques-
ton, who is to be the wing candidate for
Congress in the third district, and some of
our people seem to be anxious for an early
agitation of the subject In reply We can
only say, that several gentlemen have been
named in connection with the CANVASS
among whom our late talented and efficient
Elcctor, GEO. BRowS, ESQ.,, of Monroe,
seems to be most prominent We do not
know what Mr.. Browns views may be upon
the subject whether he has any inclination
for the position, but as he consented TO serve
as Elector in the recent contest at the sacri-
fee of his private interests, and discharged
that duty faithfully and efficiently. we have
no doubt he would yield his own wishes, and
consent to run if desired by his party. DIR. }.
w. GILLESPIE, of Rhea county, has also been
spoken of. He is true and gallant wing,
and would no doubt prove acceptable to the
party, and receive warm and hearty support.
But it is not our province to Indicate who is
the proper man TO be selected. We wish,
however, to make n suggestion, that it is en-
tirely too early to agitate the matter, or to
begin to talk about the claims of individuals.
We have no fears of any one thrusting him.
self forward in opposition to the wishes OF
majority of the party in the district-we be-
Iieye We have no such foolish aspirants in our
ranks, and if we had the rebuke they would
be certain to meet with. will prevent their
imposing themselves upon Us. In the Spring,
we presume, a Convention will be called, OF
delegates from each county in the district, to
convene at SOME suitable point, to nominate
a candidate, and that such selection will be
made as will not only prove acceptable, but
ensure success. by wise, and prudent
policy we can elect our man. BY premature
action and pressing of individual claims, we
can get him beat the very worst sort, even
before the nomination is made. The MAORI
ty in the district is not much to brag on, and
the least dissatisfaction in our own ranks will
prove fatal.
