Dry GooDs.-Trade at first hands, says
the New York Independent, is over for the
season. but considerable activity still pre-
walls with the principal jobbers. Their sales
however, are limited to the nearby and
city circles Auction sales are few and un-
important. Spring goods are arriving in
market, but few arc sold. Wooen fabrics
seem to be rising. The advance in the
price of the raw material at home and
abroad is very serious, and compels manu-
facturers to insist on better prices. AS
present stocks work down, this will become
very apparent Fall styles Of goods can be
bought at somwhat lower prices-as there
is disposition to get clear Of this kind of
stock if possible. Domestic goods are in
moderate demand Staple cottcH fabrics
are firm, with fair demand for China and
South America. Prints are in reduced
stock; the lower grades are lower in price.
Fancy woolens are somewhat in excess of
the demand The importations of English,
Belgian, and German goods have been and
are yet expected to be large, which keeps
in check the sales of domestic productions.
But all kinds are firm in price under the
advancing price of the raw material. The
price of cotton, on the contrary, is tending
downward; but the supply of cotton fabrics
has not been excessive, like that of wooer
and silks.

Minister Wards visit to Pekin.

On the 10th July, the Pohattan was an
chored off Peitany, when an imperial edict
announced that the American Minister and
his suite Of 20 should be escorted with all
honor to Pekin on the goth. Mr.. Ward
and suite landed and were received by an
escort and conducted to Pekin with every
show of respect. They first travelled As
miles across the country in covered carts,
striking the Peiho ten miles above the Ben
tying, thence they proceeded in junks to
within eleven miles Of Pekin whence they
again took carts to the capital.
The trip occupied eight and half days.
The legation remained at Pekin fifteen days,
during which they were confined to their
quarters, not, however, as prisoners, for they
were at liberty at any moment to walk ont
but the Commissioners refused them the use
of horses and guides. They would doubt
less, however, have closed the gates entire
ly, had not Mr.. Ward taken firm stand al
the first interview, that as soon as his move
ments were at all restricted be would close
all Intercourse and demand his return L
seems that the Emperor was very anxious
to see Mr.. Ward, but insisted upon his per
forming "Kotoo," that is, pros'rating him
self nine times with his head to the ground
which was positively refused.
The result was that on the l4th day
was concluded to receive the President
letter at Pekn and send Mr.. Ward back t.
Peitung to exchange treaty and the mex
day they returned on the 9th the treatie
were ex., and an English prisoner, job

SENTENCE OF Cook AND OTHER RESURRECTION.
1sTs.-When the prisoners were brought out
for sentence, the negroes Copeland and Green
declined to say anything. Cook and Coppic
both addressed the court denying that they had
any knowledge of Browns intention to seize the
Ferry until the Sunday previous, when they
were called upon to take the oath of obedience
to 'heir commander They expected to be pun

Hazlitt will not be tried until the May term of

to the federal authorities. The negroes are to
be hung on the morning of the 10th, and the
whites during the afternoon Of the same daY.

Sensible view of the matter.

The St. Louis Evening Neaos is one of the
few independent, outspoken journals publish
ed in the slave States, daring to say what
is right. OF the attempt Of the Southern
aud Northern Democratic pro-slavery press
to connect the mad folly of Brown with Re-
publicanism, the Ne0s appositely says:
The Republican party Of the country
numbers a million and half of voters-a
majority of the citizens of all the free States.
What is to be gained by denouncing them
as aders and abettors in the proposed crimes
of iusurrection, arson and murder! Would
it not be unjust, offensive and highly injur-
ous to the good feeling and concord of the
nation
There are fanatics in the North who
would willingly erterminate slavery by war
and rapine. There are fanatics at the
South who would willingly ertend slavery
by war and rapine. Which is the worst
crime in the sight of God and man? We
see no difference-and hope to see all sucE
fanatics themselves eXtirminated. The loss
of Brown and his party has thiuned out the
abolition fanatics at the North. Let Us mo-
rise as other fanatics there By indecent aJus
Of innocent men, and endeaVoring to make
them responsible for old Browns crimes.

The popular tendency toward humane q
regretful feeling for old John Brown and his
impending fate, seems, 10 the estimation Of the
shame democracy, to require TO be met with q
counter feeling, hence il is not unfrequently we
hear fervent, and sometimes petulent express
sion Of wish for his certain and speedy execu-
tion. IneXorable justice, perhaps requires this,
but we might well be spared this apparent thirst
forthe old mans blood out, of respect for hu-
manity, if not for consistency, for if John Brown
has so richly earned The galows and placed
himself beyond the pale of human sympathy,
how are we to regard the old man who instiga-
ted the butchery of old Browns sons, and re-
warded with executive favor and patronage the
wretch who perpetrsted that butchery, and
drove the father to that madness which has in-
vOlved him in crime
