from large sales appears to be the small stock hand
for sale, though tits expected many resales may take
place. Low freights and great facilities for nego
tiating exchange favor every description Of produce
and if our own factors and commission merchants are
not doing fine business, we are much disappointed.

Mr.. PoPEs DEPARTURE are confident that a
very sincere feeling of regret will be experienced by
the many warm personal friends Of Mr. Charley Pope
and no one, in his profession has ever to our
knowledge, enlisted more sincere ones in our city-n
learning that, for longer period than usual he will
be stranger to our stage He takes his leave Of
to-day, route for California, via New York, in com
pany with Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne, whom he is en-
gagged to support during her engagement in that
country understand that they expect to sail from
New York on or about the 25th Of May.
The trip to California is but the commencement of
their intended journey. When their engagements
there are ended, they will proceed to Australia
pleasant little voyage of some months duration
put their presentations before the eyes of those who
retain taste for the drama in that far away land
even younger so far as civilization is concerned than
California From thence they propose returning
home by way of London. After completing the cir:
cumnargation of the globe, at some indefinite and
uncertain period of the future, they hope-and we
sincerely join hope with their own-that they may
again greet their friends from the st. Charles stage
This is journey worth speaking ola trip that has
some proportions to it, by the side of tame aunts
over the Lake, down to the Baze and we trust all
the coors of the East that direct their steps towards
the West, may prove as richly golden as that which
led our earlier pioneers to California.
Many may have commenced engagements in Cali
fornia under auspicious circumstances so far
the blowing Of tumpets and general fanarronade is
concerned, than Mrs. Julia Hayne and Mr.. Pcpe, bu
when the curtain rolls down, we much doubt if any
will be found to have proved themselves better de
serving of commendation. ~ ''"sf
We trust there will be fayorng winds, pleasant
weather, and propitious fortunes to both these mis-
sionaries of a dramatic evangel. As we cannot ex
pect speedy return for the followers of Capt. Cook
we hope that all their pathsma be paths Of pleasant
ness and their ways those of peace wl -V'

there are contradictory accounts which it is not easy
to reconcile. Some of his friends suppose that hi
