Cotton.-Our last review of the cotton market
closed on an active demand for the article at pri
ces varying from l04 a. 13a cents. In reviewing
the week just brought to close we find no new
feature to notice, except that all classes below
good midding have been much neglected, and
consequently the prices for those grades are a
shade lower, while fine cotton is in good demand at
very full prices On Friday the news from Liver
pool by the Arabia to the 10th instant came to
hand, reporting an advance of I'd. in the early
part of the week, but it afterwards declined, and
closed steady. Sales Of the week 5O,0 bales in
cluding 1000 to spectators and $500 to export
ers. These accounts had no quotable effect on
our market, and up to the close of business on
Saturday evening the demand was good at the fol-
lowing quotations, Wig; Inferior 10 a. l0l; orli-
nary l0a III; middling III "a If good mid
ding - g l2!; fair l22 @ 1Si; and choice lSss
90 l34 cents.
Bacon.-There is no country cured bacon in our
market at present. and we have little hesitation in
saying that lot of prime sides would freely COM
mand l4a 9 Is cents p fb., and hams and shou-
ders in proportion.
Corn.-The demand for corn is active and good,
and prices are looking up. We now quote Sl.l5
a. S1.20 u bushel
Peas.-The stock Of peas on sale at present is
very light, and as there is an active demand for
them, prices are looking up. We qnote Sl.l6 O.
S1.20 p bushel.
Four.-The supply of -four on the market is
fully adequate for the demand and therefore the
market is quiet but steady. We will quote ST I

s'When at eve my children gather
Round the lowly ingle side,
Whispering to my spirit-"Father,
In thy love we each confde;"
While press them to my bosom,
In an overflow of joy,
How l miss that stricken blossom
Him who was the only boy.
Often will they talk of Brother
Even she who knew him not;
For think that for another
He should never be forgot;
And love to link their feelings
With the kindred one away,
Though the thought will oft be stealing
That dear form is nought but clay
Still bow in blind submission
Even grateful try to be-
One is not-but blest condition.
Providence has left me three.
So I'll press them to my bosom,
In an overflow of joy
Heaven has gained my cherished blossom
Gods is now my only boy.

were wrong somewhere; but there was an air Of
plausibility about him, and judging from the mum.
Der of bachelors to be found in y, he made
more than one convert, As they wither away,
may Heaven kindly temper the winds for them
Bnt to return to the ladies' what do you think
of bonnets? "Bonuets-a very necessary article
of womans attire, but Mr.. Spectator, what have
they to do with your new science ?''
Did you never observe the variety of bonnets to
be met with in Church? Among thousand
ladiesyou will not find two bonnets precisely alike
The general fashion will be the same, but they
will all be dressed differently, and all out of three
or four colors-blue, pink, yellow, or white. Blue
and white are our favorite coors, but really we
are not particular how the bonnet is dressed, so
there are dark sparkling soul-beaming hazel,
expressive gray or gentle blue eyes, to make us
forget all about the bonnet. Alas for science!
when will man become so passionately fond of thy
with philosophical abstraction without having his
attention riveted or the bright eyes and ruby
ed mouth of which it is the shield? Before quit
ting this subject or for the benefit poets gener
orally, we would remark that "bonnets" rhyme
beautifully with "sonnets.'
- In our first article we made a general estimate
of the gents who listened to the preaching-one
out of four was the result. We're we too liberal
But how shall we undertake an estimate of the
ladies who hear the sermon. To judge from ap-
pearances they are all attentive listeners They
sit through the entire sermon with q primped-
mouthiness, and never so much as close their eyes
or give any indication of drowsiness. After wit
Messing the apparent attention Of the fair portion
of congregation, we have been surprised to hear
after leaving the Church, the same ruby-lips which
charmed us with hymnic cadency and the seeming
fervor of the sweet Psalmist of Israel, declare
her tee-to-tal ignorance Of the text the sermon,
and the fervent prayer, which went up like fra
grant incense to the throne of God. But different
dresses, their deficiencies and redundancies, the
curiosities, the pretty goatees, the oddities and
qualities, and the gossip generally, are all treas
ured by mnemoncal process to which, Messrs.
Editors, we are perfect strangers. There we sit
on a back seat taking notes in short hand, but we
can't see or put down half so many things as we
can learn from FIVE minutes dinner conversation
with lady who "don't know what eyes are made
for if they are not to see what is going on. We
confess that the estimate of the genuine, earnest
lady listeners is beyond the ability of your ran
dom correspondent. SPECTATOR.
