Our Foreign Relations.

The statement Of the Paris correspondent Of
the New York Eapress. that the Southern Com
missioners had left that city and gone 10 Lon
don. is confirmed. we see, by the correspond
ence of other journals. The movement is said
to have been a sudden one. and there is much
conjecture, Therefore, as to the meaning of it,
The usually we'll informed correspondent of the
Times reports the statement that the question
of Cotton has been made the subject of verbal
communication between the Governments OF
France and England. and says the prevs ling
opinion is that whatever course ErTanu may
adopt, she will drag France with her.
What this course may be, is Vet mere specu-
latiOn; the two Government, he says, do not wish
to establish any new precedent in the matter,
and yet they look forward with alarm to the Pc
riod when their mills will commence "euort
work." 1t 9 thought that they will first put
their demand in the shape Of a friendly appeal
to the American Government to aid them in
obtaining cotton, 50 as to prevent their opera
tives from suffering. and in this form there will
beample room for negotiation. and for arriving
at distinct understanding of each others po-
sitiop. '''
IF cotton is not thus obtained, and England,
Especially. takes any step further it will be
with view ofpitchipg headlong into the strug.
gle, and bring about the complete breaking up
Of the Union, and its division into more than
Two sections, % - to render the whole country
powerless against her in the future.
The programme is very ntt-::e..iive one, it
may be, on paper,-hnt We spprehend Her Maj
estys Government viii think twice before re-
dueing it to practice. At the same time, the
hostile tone Of about all the leading English
journals since the battle at Manassas, Is an indi-
cation that they may not be above such folly,
when the present stock Of cotton is all used up,
and it behooves our Government, {, therefore, to
keep sharp eye to the blockade, meanwhile
rendering it soeficient a. to siye .tssnn" tJsonn" no
Pretext for ec:sp,aint on the score of its inefi-
cheney.

An incident occurred in ,oue locality,
which think is worthy Of publicxtiou.-
Doc Firestone familiarly called aOld Doc" |"
who combines with the qualities Of .
good physician those Of . good orator,
was one day during a campaign, going up to
a small town to make political speed
q "Squatter Sovereignty one"
When few miles from town be over-
took lean, lank specimen Of the esas,
Yankee, who asked him for . ride. Ths
doctor with bis usual generosity, gave him
place beside him.
After the usual comments upon the
weather, Doc inquired his destination.
"Wall," answered the Yankee, II en-
going to the Democratic meetinc."
"Ah! indeed" says the doctor. @Do
you know who are the speakesi"
"Wall, heard tell old Doc Firsstops i
to speak; but would not believe 3 word

"But still" says Doc, ait does not fol.

.Yes, it doe" says the Yankse fos any

= Well, thus the conversation went on in
one confidential TRADE from the Yankee,
against "Doc Firestoue," until they arrived
at the town. When they came within
sight Of The crowd (which was . large ous,)
three cheers were given, with . hearty
good will, for "Doc Firestone." ~
The Yankees face elongated, and his
eyes almost started from their socksts.-
Turning slowly around, be fsoed Doc, and
says: r7esit

The Caulihower.

The Revue HorticoLe extracts from Ger.
man newspaper the method used by the
Dutch to obtain their cauliAowers, so famous
for their size and delicacy. It is as follows
"In the autumn they dig deep some ground
that has not been manured; at the beginning
Of May they SOW the large English cauli.
flower upon q bed of manure, and cover it
with straw mats at night. When the young
plants are three or four inches high, they
harrow the ground that had been prepared
the autumn before, and with q wooden dib-
BILE eighteen inches long, they make holes
about ten inches deep at proper distances
apart, snd enlarge them by working the
dibbIs around I'LL the hole at the top is
about thrre inches in diameter. They imme-
diately FL these holes with water, and re-
peat this three times the same day. In the
evening they Gil them with sleeps dung,
leaving only room enough fot the young
plant which they very carefully remove
from the bed Of manure and place in the
hole with little earth. Directly afterwards
they give them good watering, and as soon
as the sun begins to dry, water them again.
Furthermore, as the plants grow, they dig
round them, and earth them up in rows. When
the head is forming, they pinch of some of the
lower leaves Of the plant, and Use them to
cover the young head"
