On cheerlly then my voice is heard,
Mlngiing with that Of the soaring BIRD
AS he hIngeth abroad his matin loud
AND fresens his wing i'll the cool spray cloud
But when evening hath quilted her sheltering view
And, drowsily flying, is weaving anew q
Her dusky meshes DER land and sea,

TIE CorroN CRor.' Mr. W p. Wright, cotton
broker of New York, thus audes to the prospect of
the cotton crops this season, in his weekly circular
for Wednesdays steamer to Europe:
Receipts at the ports continue to fall off, the de-
crease now amounts to $4,000 bales, and on Satur-
ay last the deficit, as made up in New Orleans,
Eas 465 900 bales. 1t is quite possible, owing to
ne low state of various Southern rivers, very few of
Fhlch are in Manageable condition, that the deficit
ay reach $4,000 bales even more, and it is also
FOoa0ie that the maximum decrease when attained
lay diminish iii very slowly for many weeks thereaf-
H. Inc large and increasing deficit in receipts as
nose estimates are below 1900, 900 bales. and I
