LARGE IMNIGRAuoS-Forty thousand immigrants
arrived at the port OF New York during the last month
This is nearly double the arrivals in the spending
month of last year. and those of the first five months
of this year nearly double those of the same pc
riod last year. From the opening of January up 10
this date, the numbers rise as high as one hundred
thousand Those who understand the matter, esti-
mate that We shall get up to quarter of million
before the close of the year. Though this will
fall far short of IS54-the great emigration year-it

AFFAIRS AT MoBILE.--The Mobile Times winds up a
Ieng article on the situation of the country follows
Our late financial scare has fortunately subsidized.
The late news from England is fast restoring conf
dencc and the proud commercial community of Mobile
will pass unscahed through the crisis Of 1866 vico-
riousy as it did through that of 1887. The condition
of our city banks fully Justidcs this prediction.
The bank of Mobile, and the Southern bank have,
on the LIST instant resumed their payments at par and
when we consider the difficulties against which they
had to struggle much credit cannot be awarded to
their intelligent directors and presidents.
The crops are backward, and unless the recupera-
tive powers Of the cotton plant be brought into full
play Alabama cannot depend upon more than 200,
GEO bales while Louisiana will fall much short of that
number and Mississippi will have to be satisfied with
a one-loHrth crop.
The freedmen are working fairly, and their conduct
is generally good, chiefly in our Own city If they
are slow and rather Indifferent, it is not from want
of willingness but simply from inherent vice Of
nature for which they ought not to be held responsible
The change of military rule hps not affected oul
usual condition of quiet No attempt has been made
to supcrcede civil law, and We are on the whole, as
quiet and happy any people may be who have lOs
all and are at the mercy of their rulers.

TIE FAILURE OF THE PARIS CONFERENCE.-THE the
house Of commons, on the 9Th inst, Mr.. Gladstone
officially announced tue failure of the negotiations, as
follows:
Gen. Peal beg to ask the chancellor of the cx-
chequer or the under secretary Of foreign Affairs,
question whether il is true that the proposed congress
has been given up.
The Chancellor. of the Exchequer--T sorry to
state that must give substantial in affirm
alive to the question. The first communication to the
British government to this effect by Geographic
message from France stating that in the opinion OF the
French government the conference at end, in
consequence Of an answer from Austria imposing con-
ditons that were regarded impracricabe. We are
ec and the substance of it is that she required be-
forehapd an assurance from all the powers which
were to take part the projected conference that they
should be ready to the pursut.of any spe-
cia or particular interest to the detrment of the gen
eral tranquility going further to cxp;,a that set
Element By stating that as condition to be complied
with by the cabinets DESTROYS of peace it appeared to
Austria indispensable shat they should be agreed be-
forehand TO exclude from the deliberations of the con-
ference anything that would tend to give aug Of the
States invited and attending at that meeting any terri
torial augmentation or increase of power.
To requRe such an engagement beforehand was re-
carded by France as equivalent to refusal Of confer
ence or as making it impossible The government o.
England are agreed in their view Of the with tht
government of France. All prospect, therefore, o
the meeting of the conference must, we fear, be a
an end.

fate of men of his class i'll this city He fell in a

of our city infamous by their deeds of unparalleled

OF these men, the names OF five occur to VS., who
were victims of the system of assassination which
they i4laugurated and which gained for them the well
meritcd title of Thugs. Jim Logan fell iii an attempt
to murder respectable citizen.
Abe Philips was surrounded at night by his own
recent allies and stabbed and shot until he fell into
the gutter CORY corpse Horton one Of Bob
Johnsen's many victims; Forbes was overmatched i'll
a murderous atiray; and the soul of Bob johnson,
escaping through dozen murderous wounds, bias gone
