THE POSTMASTER Ar NEW YORK.

The Hon. John IA. Dix, it Is stated, has received
the appointment Of Postmaster Of New Eork City,
ID place Of the defaniting Fowler. This is 4 good
appointment. Mr.. Dix is a man Of the very highest
moral character, and of wealth enough to place
him beyond the temptation u peculation, even
were be so disposed. It has been several years
since he was In aay public position. He was at
one time Senator in Congress from New York,
as the colleague Of Daniel s. Dickinson. But he
became mixed up somehow with the Buffalo Free
sellers in 1913, and was leading member of the
Softshell wing Of the Democratic party Of New
York At 4 time when the members Of that organic
alton we're suspected Of being little better thar
arowed Freesoilers. In 1853, 1t was said thai
President Pierce promised him the mission to
France, and eyen had his commission made out
But the Southern members Of Congress. hearing Of
it, insisted that in view Of DKs Freesoil anteced-
ents, It would be highly unpopular appointment
throughout the South. Pierce became frightened,
withdrew the commission, and appointed John X.
Mason, Of Virginia, instead. Since then Dix has
been out of office, until this late appointment. As
bis moral honesty has never been questioned, the
public win forgive him his former Freesoism, for
the sake Of having an incorruptible officer.

TALK ON ,cHANGE,

1t was very qniet yesterday on the fags, so very
quiet that 1t was supposed summer had jumped
down OH the flags ut once. The transient opera
tors have got through and taken their departure,
leaving the market rather more free and open for
those who remain The accounts by the Adriatic
had favorable effect, though there is not much
left in market to effect for. 1t is very doubtful if
there Ii more than one-third Of the cotton quoted
to be on hand, that is on the market for sale. The
talk is, that the Texas cotton, or shipments from
Texas during this season, have, from the great
falling off in the quality, been followed by large
losses. A few years ago Texas cotton was deemed
of equal value with Orleans, The lands in Texas
are rich and capable Of producing cotton which
will rank with Strict Middiing to Fair, and would
command in onr market l2l@ l3c. But our factors
have very few bales Of this kind to offer buyers
Talking of cotton, brings up the question of the
crop, that Ii ID be, now few inches above ground.
Some parties, we learn. who have wagered on
900 to 100000 bales, and having lost, seem
disposed to be keep the excitement Up, and carry
il on for the next CROP by bantering that the crop
Of 1860 the one now peering above the ground
will not exceed 425O,0OO bales. It is sheer non
sense for people to be talking in this way at this
time Of the the year. The accounts from Texas Of
III cTops-coeton, cane, corn anu WheaI--afe IN
the highest degree favorable. The receipts at the
Texas ports last week were 5sI1 bales, sending tho
total receipts ut the Texas ports up to 229,4s2
bales.
Our marine list exhibits very meagre account
Of arrivals for two days past which, of course, il
not unexpected at this season of the year. There
has~been marked falling off in the quantity
81 coffee at this port for this season. the receipts
this year being $4,000 bags against 3e2 900 last
year It il not expected that we shall run short in
coffee for some time TO come. The crop Of this
season IN Brazil is talked Of as being large, greater
than any on record. II has, however, to DO
gathered and forwarded to market before it can be
said to be actually Oh hand.
The following figures denote the quantity and
cost Of coffee imported into New Orleans for the
three months running from the Let January, 1860,
to the 2lst March 1850.
