it be carted 10 the wharf for shipping.

Of different Qualities.
The retailers in Copenhagen demur to
receive hogsheads of st. Croix Sugars If
they do not at least weigh 1000 ID. gross,
consequently the hogshead OF sugar IN
order to meet the loss in weight, which
it s~ustains on the passage ought to weigh
here at least Seventeen hundred Pounds
gross; and if a h~ogshead, after delivery,
IS found 10 contain different qualities OF
sugar, they claim from the seller an
abatement in price equal to from 20 to
SO cts. per hundred pounds. Advlces
from Copenhagen speak of a growing

ket, and as the duties there are now equal

staple be not eventually superseded In

sugars in Denmark would be restricted
to the r~efiners who generally purchase at
a shilling or two less per pound than the

will in future be obliged entirely to re-
iect packages not having the above quail

reduction in the previously stipulated
price.

IRON receipt of the news on Saturday
morning of the assassination of the Prcsi-
3dent and of Secretary Seward and son, the
flags were raised at half-mast, stores and
private dwellings were draped in mourn
Ting, and sorrow and sadness was depicted
on every countenancc. Such expressions
;of heartfelt sorrow we never before heard
uttered; and the people in their honest in
|dignation, would, if they had been within
reach, hung as high as Haman, every rebel
leader that inaugurated the rebellion, and
fosters such Helish spirit as we have
seen all along exhibited. This work of
sthe assassination of the Nation Co.,
Magistrate, is but part and ....l Of a..
whole grand plot to destroy this IL. 'u.. A.
sany and all hazard. The mawkish sympathy
depressed for the active leaders in the re-
Ibellion, should not be countenanccd. Such
TRAITORS as Roger A. Pryor, who was i'll
charleston at the fall of Sumter, and who
was one of the distinguished fcnds that
;he.d high carnival over the degradation of
,the American flag consequent upon its be-
ling lowered to such a cause, should not be
permitted to walk the streets of Washing
ton and allowed to be feasted and fetcd
within sight of tho Capitol. Such arch
REBELS as Lee, cannot be thought Of with
jclemency. War is not pastme, treason
is not puny offence that can be forgiven
1any day before breakfast, and without any
!signs of repentance, and the sooner we
learn this the better for the nation.
The assassins who struck down the
PRESIDENT and aimed the dagger at Mr..
Stewards heart, were actuatcd by the same
spirit that inaugurated the rebellion and
there is no such thing as tanning it by
honed words. Such evil spirits are not
Exercised by ceremonies only.
After all the hard sayings attributed To-
slavery by Mr.. Sumner in his speech onI
the "Barbarisms of Slavery" the half
was not told. Each day of this rebellion
has added new evidence of its deyilsh in
iiuence. The last and most atrocious of,
all its black crimes, is the murder of oncl
OF the most amable and kind hearted men
of the age.
