-r Another instance Of the destruction of
papers that might have been interesting aud
valuable appears In connection With the lei.
ters and Works Of Lady Mdfy Woftlev Non
tagus, n Third edition Of whieh, az originally
edited by Lord Wharnclf, 10 now publish
ing under the editorship of Mr. w. Nav
Thomas. Lady Mary's daughter, the wife Of
the celebrated Marquis Of Butte, George the
Itrsabsolutist Minister burned a vast num-
Der Of her mothers letters and diaries, ON
the ground that they contained great many
scandalous stories Of various persons, several
of which had doubtless been put down with
out any inquiry into their truth, and might
indeed have been utterly erroneous.
The feeling which dictated this act was
excellent, but unfortunately some good ma
terials have not improbably perished with
the bad. Lady Mary was the subject of
various stories to her discredit put forth by
her inveterate enemies Pope and Horace
Wslpole, though, by the way, Pope at one
time professed to be her ardent admirer.
The papers that have been destroyed might
have helped TO dispel these calumnies; never
theless, MIR. Thomas has contrived, without
their help, to vindicate the memory of the
beautiful and witty authoress OF the Turkish
letters. The work, altogether, is a remark
able specimen of the manners, habits and
modes of social intercourse of past age.

The COIToE MoKoPoLY IN THE S0UFH.-
The cotton monopoly Of our planters has for
ten years hung on the slenderest of threads.
They possess the market; they are near the
market; and they have for years strained
every nerve to supply the greater part of the
demand of Europe. But they have been
able to do 80 only because the Government
of the United States gave them peace aud
prosperity with an inappreeiable minimum
taxation, and because the North. west sup
piled them with food and the North. east
with manufactures, while the power and
prestige Of the Union which they have 50
fcornfully cast off gave them security at
home and fair treatment abroad. They have
held their monopoly only because 70 Il they
were enabled to give every muscle and every
dollar they had. ltwas long ago said that
the failure Of of two successive cotton crops
in the Southern States would be death
blow TO their on-culture By SLAVE labor, at
once. IL is probable no y that the mere dan
ger Of . short crop win have the same effect,

The Queen Of France is deep suffer

death Of her sister. The Queen of Aus
tria has been travelling for health. Vic
toria suffers under the dangers from the
hereditary taint of insanity. Apropos of
this, the London correspondent Of trothal
Of the Prince Alice to the Prince of Hes
Sc Dramstadt, says:
"The marriage has been hurried on, /

cause for this. 1t is believed to be q mat

something should be done to rouse her
from unnatural melancholy into which
she has fallen since the death of her mo-

ment was made to me in the beginning
of the week, namely, that her Majesty's
state of health was used as an argument
against turning out the government, in
the lobbies of the House of Commons, for
few days before the great division. 1t
was said that if oil the anxiety and worry
Incidental to change of ministry wero
thrown upon the Queen at the present
moment, the consequences might be too
serious even to speak of. There was
really good deal Of force in the argu-
ment, and it had weight, understand,
with some two or three men, who conse-
quently abstained from voting"
