From the N. Y. Independent.
Day GooDsl--There have been large import
atiOus Or foreign fabrics since our last, and they
are continualy arriving The supplies win be
early, and the trade opens with good assort-
meut. South and Southwestern buy,rs are
already in the market, making few purchases.
Prices Of all desirable goods will be high, as
raw materials as we'll as wages have risen in Eu
rope. 0oly prime goods and goods made es-
pceolly for this market, are coming forward as
old stocks.were we'll sold out hast year. Black
and fancy silks afs rather higher 80 pricc--l
Lawns and printed goods are plenty, aud have
been sold to some little extent. WooIens are
also In fair but moderate supply, with de-
maud that induces holders to ask an advance in
price. a'fDm n'
Domestic goods are not very active--the
commission houses asking some advance in
prices, which checks an early business. Both
cotton and wooden goods seem to be appreciatng
in price. Prints are 10 fair demand, with a
large supply, and in lawns considerable bust
tive, and seem likely to be the leading article in
woolens for the coming season Cassimeres,
cloths and satinels nre in very limited demand,
but the stock is light aud prices are firm.
The CUBAN Folly The Richmond Enquirer
denounces vigorously and severely the PROPOSE
ton to give Mr.. Buchanan 100000 600 towards
commencing the purchase of Cuba. We have
very little doubt that it viii be followed in this
sooner or later, by rejecting Democrats North
and South. A more suicidal scheme, so far as
party interests are concerned, never entered the
head Of the most reckless politician But there
is no reason whatever, to suppose that Cuba
can be bought for slOO,OOOOOO Neither the
President nor any one of his special agents in
Congress has given the shadow Of a reason for
believing that any sum Of money could effect
the purchase, that Spain could possibly be
induced to listen to the proposition.

TRIAL OF THE FILLTBUsrERs- Capt. Maury
and others were tried before the United
States Commissioner at Mobile on Saturday,
22d inst, for obstructing the Uuted States Off
GERS in the discharge of their duties on board
the schooner Susan, and for violating the ueu-
trality laws and the Commissioner has held
them to bail in the sum of S2,5OO for their ap-
pearance at Court in February. sa
AGENciEs.-Is it matter of surprise that the
whole system of agencies as connected with
benevolent enterprises should be going into
dslavor, when their expensiveness is held up to
view ? 80 per cent of the receipts of the Amer
erican Tract Society, it appears, is swallowed
up in paying agents for the collecting.
The physicians decide that Rev. Theodore
Parker has pulmonary consumption. He will
go to the West Indies, and his society has de-
cided 10 continue regular Sunday services, sup
plying the pulpit from week to week with such
speakers as can be obtained.
The design of the editor of the National
Democrat, recently started at Cleveland, he de-
clares TO be, to purify the Democratic party !!
This, certainly, is very commendable under
taking, but it is to be regretted that the accom-
plishment of the task, is likely to make so se-
rous an inroad into that duration left for the en-
joyment Of the society of his friends in the state
of future rewards and punishments. .l,
SHOCKING DEPRAvrTY.-Among the day schol-
ars at one of the Female Seminaries in Uincin-
natl says the Gazette, has been for some time
back, dashing, pretty young woman. The
Chief of Police learned the fact aud notified
the Principal that this dashug pupils real
name-or at least that by which she was known
TO the Poliee--was Mrs -, and that she was
the keeper of notorious house of assignation!
The woman can have had but one purpose in
going 10 the School, and that is too horrible
to contemplate.
In New York, last week, a proligate, dso-
lutte husband, named Dawson, set fire to his
wile's clothes while she slept in them, and burnt
her nearly to death. He had previously threat
ened to sprinkle her with spirits and set fire to
her. believing it to be a sure aud safe way to
destroy her life. nt ea

under Brown, and posse under Deputy
U. S. Marshal, near Paoli Lykins county
Five Of Browns party, and Deputy U. S.
Marshal and two of his assistants are re-
ported killed Account not vouchcd for,
and is probably exaggerated. 7
DR.. PUsEY-Circumstunces seeming to jntiry
the rumor that the celebrated DR.. PUsEY had
taken unto himself a wife, the busy press so
! published mot in malice but in charity, to
save him from a very damaging impuiaiion, i!
matrimony was not in the case. But it seems
that the distinguished prelate don't like either
the compliment or the defence.
DOUGLAS IN MIssoURI-Au attempt to en-
dorse Douglas in the Missouri Legislature fail
