able has been sent West from New Y York, meet
ing ready sales at good prices. 1t is fact wor-
thy the attention Of those who make or buy
and sell butter Of common and fair qualities
that the very high prices and great lack OF sup
plies Of good table butter have exerted no fa-
vorabIe influence whatever upon the price Of
or demand for, the lower grades more than up
on the price of Lard. The most thorough ef-
forts to close sales Of common butter eastern

we are receiving from w r. shippers in regard
to the prospects of the trade the coming sea-
son, we venture the following opinions aud sug-
gestions The high prices at which the crop
of 1858 is closing out, causes new Cheese 10
open far too high to be handled with safety, we
think. In our opinion the only course for pru.
dent operators is to hold back till those moro
reckless of results have lost as much money as
they have to spare in their efforts to monopo-
lize the trade, aud the manufacturers become
willing to accept prices that shippers can safely
pay.
The first new Cheese, especially if made from
well skinned milk of hay-fed cows has no in.
triDsic value whatever and consumers are com.
ing in possession of this knowledge very rapid
| ly Whoever handles this trash to any consid
erabIe extent may expect to lose money by
doing so. Those who ship freely from May
goth to July LIST are quite sure to sustain heavy
losses. In regard to the price of Cheese next
fall, much, of course, depends upon circumstan-
ces If crops are good throughout the country
furnishing the basis Of an active business and
the early eastern demand is sufficient to take
any surplus that may be made, we see no reason
why prices may not rule as high next fall as
last.

HORRIBLE MASSACRE $50 Persons SLAIN.
The New York Courier des Etas Unis,
says the ship st. Paul Of Havre, while max.
ing a voyage from China to Australia, with
load of Chinese emigrants, was wrecked
on the llth of September, off one of the
isles of the Louisiade archipelago, in the
S0uth Pacific ocean. Tie passengers and
crew succeeded in reaching the island in
safety. An English vessel was hailed and
came to their relief, but was too small to
carry away all the unfortunates Three
hundred and thirty were left till word was
taken to Sydrey, aud another vessel to
their relief, which arrived at the island in
December or January, and found that OF
the $50 individuals, only one, ChinamaD,

The New York Observer and Journal of
Commerce are vigorously agitatng the tract
controversy, as preparation for the May ami
5ersary. The Observer says there is a plot to
overthrow represent government of the society
and to aboltionize it. The only means of pre-
venting this. if the country members should at
tend the annual meeting, IS to make another
batch of new members among the Wall street
brokers, and especially TO bring in enough MIN
ble-heeled clerks to create general muss in be.
half of the abstract gospel they so much honor.
The Hartford Religious Herald suggests as a
just and proper distinction that the parent tract
society at Boston take the name of North
American tract society and the seeding branch
at New Y ork call itself South American.
The administration organ, with the new name
of Constitution, takes a new start, as number
one Of volume one. This is good policy, as it
thus gets rid of the burden of its old sins in a
lump If the administration could do the same
thing it would be happy.
