The following inquests were head by the Coroner
on Sunday:
On the body of Henry Priez, aged fifty years, a
native of France, found dead near the mouth Of
She Bayou St. John Verdict, accidentally drowned
On the body Of Hypolite Priez, aged l3 years, a
native of New Orleans found dead on the beach
of Lake Ponchartrain, near the mouth of Bayou
st. John. Verdict, accidentally drowned. The
deceased were the father and son, wlro went out
| in skiff, and whose disappearance we reported
some days ago.
On the body of an unknown man about fifty
trand street, between Perdido and Gravier. Ver.
dict, died from ntemperance and exposure,
We would have reported these inquesss yester-
day, had we been able to see the Coroner or his
Deputy at their office on Sunday afternoon Or had
we found any mention of the nquests on the
hitherto useful but now useless slate which hangs
at the door.
We have. repeatedly given credit to Coroner
Beach and Deputy Coroner Soraparu for the in
dustrious and searching manner in which they cor
duct their Investigations, and we give them this
credit as cordially and freely as ever; but this is
not enough.
The people look to the newspaper reporters for
the earliest news of whatever the Coroner may
have done or may be doing, and the reporters
have to get their information from the Coroner
Now, what is reporter to do, when he cannot find
the Coroner any representative at his Office nor
anything on the slate at his door? We have been
taxed with lazly delaying our reports of Coronial
proceedings all that we have been able to say is
that it is not our fault. .....--.. .=.. +.
We must request Dr.. Beach either to leave some
one at his office, or some report of his doings on
his slate, as has been the custom of his predeces-
sors for many years past We say this not in any
disposition to hurt his feelings, but in necessary
yndication, (ssme time delayed) of our rights in
our reportorial capacity, and of our duty to the
public at large. erM I'll --.'. .-." gr +

Two burglars on Sunday night, by means offalse
keys or outsiders, entered the residence of Mr..
Philip Lanoux, on Rampant street, between Ursu-
lines and Hospital; they had poeketed but few
light pieces of sverware, when they were detected
by free colored young man, named Valsin, who
happened to be in the house at the time. [Valsin
is good boy, whom we know well, he having
acted as porter and waiter upon the reporters at
the Second District Recorders Court, when Mr..
Wiltz was Reeorder.] When the robbers heard
Valsin's step, they fled he followed and gave the
alarm and the result was the capture of one
Charles Adams, having in his pocket sundry valu-
ables supposed to be stolen elsewhere, and lot of
burglarious instruments. The rogue with the silver
succeeded in escaping.

THE eARisaL ol LEGION,

This new military organization, of our citizens of
italian birth, received their guns yesterday, and
will make their first turnout, fully armed and
equipped, on the 10Th prox.
We yesterday saw one of the members trying on
his uniform, which he had just received. 1t is a
gay and taking dress, after the italian Garibal
dian style ; and the Legion will matte beautiful
appearance in this uniform. The uniform is as fol-
lows: A black cooked hat, with q black plume
the cooked side, the stem of the plane lin front
being covered with little feathers Of red green,
and white, (the eolors of Italy) and the whole Sc
cured to the hat with Pelican button. A red
jacket, tight fitting to the waist but spreading out
at the hips; q black belt around the waist, with
cartouche-box behind, and the jacket buttoned up
to the chin with Pelican buttons. Gray trousers,
of the largest Zouave style, bulging out as low as
the knee and then buff leather le#gings strapped
and buckled the rest of the way Gown to the gait

Instead of six-sevenths, we find that only about
II get, not quite tbree-fourths of the gross i'm
ports for these two monster crops were of South
ern or American growth. We don't understand
how our London friend arrives at the difference in
India or Bombay cotton. He says:
Look at India, where experiment has been going
on for nearly thirty years, at an immense annual
expenditure, and what is the result? Add together
the uncertainty of the crop by reason of frequent
foundations, the overland carriage to Calcutta
and Bombay, the long voyage hence to England,
with freight and insurance, and you have few
thousand bales of dark coiored, coarse cott0'1 at
one and d half to two pence pound dearer than
American Sea Island.
Instead of being dark colored, coarse cotton, it
is to the contrary, its popularity being the excel
lence of the staple and lightness of its color. Sta
pie fine, but very short. 1t is bought for its color
to improve the appearance of goods made usually
from low qualities of American cotton, and instead
of being I'D. dearer than Sea Island according to
quotations before Us, it is l4@2d. % ID cheaper
than the American Uplands; for instance, Bombay
and Madras cotton is quoted at 4a96; Uplands 81
@7Ad., and Sea Islands l32@lSd. We agree cor
daily with our orrespondent that the cultivation
of cotton in India to compete with American cot
ton is complete failure.
While talking Of cotton, the question of general
export duty on cotton was brought up to enact a
law of this nature SS apply to shipments and ex-
ports to foreign countries will be unwise and i'm
polite. We fancy the suggestion is only one of
the telegraph canards which are flying about the
country. Laying an export duty on cotton ex-
ported to Northern States would be feasible, and
at about five dollars per bale, or one cent per
pound on the quantity heretofore taken by N orth-
ern consumers, would yield q revenue of three to
three aud half millions Of dollars.
The mails continue as heretofore. The express
appear to be doing the most important part of the
transmission of correspondence. We received from
Ellis last evening New York dates up to the 2lst
instant.

an oftener attendance. We are giEen to under

are open to the public. We claim. however, on
the part of the public, an inyitatonro meeting
at least once month, where the members will
find fit audience lin fuller attendance of their
friends and the friends of the Society.

TALK ON GRANGE,

lhe week opened yesterday with some degree OF
quletude, with considerable talk about the staple
ana me expected falling Off in receipts II the re-
cepts for the past three days are to be taken as
cfiteflon the short crop estimators have the call
Towards meridian there was considerable inquiry
the pulses of factors were felt; they beat rather
nigh, though not feverish. AS the day drew 10 a
close 1t was manifest that the staple was in or.
Exchange was III better inquiry. The figs were
well tbroDged in fact, through the antire day,
cotton sellers, buyers of the same ship agents,
hill-brokers stock deatsrs, and pfen Boots, look
ing for bills, were all 0n the flags, on the leFee
in and about Tchoupitnulas, Poydfss, New Levec
streets and in all localities of dealers and traders,
connected with tha Western trade, it was lively
and animated though the sales Of produce were
not in the,aggregate SO large as on some days Oh
the season, there was no complaining The arrivals
of boats from the great West continue numerous,
all bringing large and full cargoes Of the rich and
varied products of that teeming region. Merchants,
dealers, traders farmers and all, can send forward
the contents Of their warehouses; stores, cribs and
granares to our good city without the least appre-
hension Of import duty. All kinds Of agricultural
productions with stock and cattle, are admitted
free. We notice the arrival yesterday Of $50 kegs
of gunpowder from the West. The shippers or
owners thereof did not appear to stand in awe Of
that NewYork (Judge SmaIley's) chargein relation
to munitions OF war
There was some talk and comments on the com
munication of our London correspondent, PUBLISHED
in our Saturdays issue. As the correspondence,
which appears in our columns is not endorsed, eI-
ceptions having been taken in regard to the views
expressed on the supply of cotton, (admitting, as
we do that it will require a score Of years for
Great Britain to replace American cotton) we have
to correct our correspondent when he says " Great
Britain obtains six-seyenths of all her cotton from
the Southern States" We propose to refer to
figures, which will apply to the two large crops of
1859 and 1850:
