SHAMEFUL CoNDUcT.-Fariha Spiel, man of
giant proportions, went to the shop of Young
man who has but one leg, and brutality dragged
him ont in the street. Spiel claims that the shop
belongs to him, but it appears that his wife who
leases the house, sold 1t to the young man while
spiel was absent. He has not lived with his wife
during the past three years, but turns up at inter
walls after cruising on the waters and raises row
in the family. The court inflicted fine of $50 or
thirty days on Spiel
DIsGRACEFUL, observed two drays bearing
the unconscious forms of man and woman to the
caIaboose yesterday through the principal street
OF our city. They were both picked up in beastly
state OF lntoxieation. Such sights are sickening
and we blush to record them.
TERRIBLE ExPLosIoN-Ihree Hen Killed and
Fiue Wouaded,-We received intelligence last
evening of the explosion of the boiler Of the saw
mill OF e. L F. j. Parker on the 18th inst result.
ing IN the instant death of three men and wound
ing Of five others. The mill is situated on Fowl
river, about twenty miles from this city. The ex-
plosion occurred from the neglect of the fremen
to keep water in the boiler. We have not been
able to learn the names Of the killed and wounded
men.
Opening 0UT.-We notice that many of our
merchants are already opening out their stocks
tor the fail trade and will soon be ready to re-
celVe customers. The ruling passion in gentle
men 8 elothlng appears to be the butternut and
yellow cloths of all shades, with velvet collars to
the coats. scarfs or neckties of brilliant colors
are also among the latest styles. Full suits of the
color still prevail as the fashion, and the cut
and pattern are the same as last season.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE CorroN
TAx.-The Times has the following:
Although we were not, contrary to custom. IA
yoTed with notice OF the meeting, an adjourned
meeting Of the Chamber of Commerce. on the all
important question of the cotton tax, we ven
| tured, for the benefit of our numerous CONNER
cia readers, to call attention to these meetings,
and their results, well knowing that they have
always looked to the columns of the Times with
confidence in all matters relating to political
economy, and the philosophy of trade.
w . anticipated the action Of the chamber, and
must compliment the members on the prompt and
decisive manner in which they acted, and even in
the choice of their messenger, Mayor Withers
and we take pleasure in informing our friends Of
the New Orleans Crescent that the hopes they so
strongly founded on the merchants of Mobile,
and which they so anxiously expressed in a late
number, have been not only realized, but antici-
pated.
Z We wish we had the room necessary to repro
duce in full the memorial of the New Orleans
chamber of commerce, which is full of sound
argument; and we must complain openly here
OF the supreme Indifference with which our own
chamber treats the public and the press, by ne
glecting to make known their action and their |
grounds Of action to the world, as if their DELHI
erafionsdid not belong to that world at large, if
not their immediate patrons There is not
paper capable of approaching the value of com
mercial reasoning which would not eheerfully
publish such proceedings, while it would give to |
men outside the chamber the means to ascertain
the real'worthtof the arguments used, as well as
suggest others equally valid. It is a matter OF
regret that the chamber does not, like all other
such institutions, publish annually report of its
and awards.
