Lastweek he brought us half bushcl

before in other ways. We hope he may

The PROSPECTS OF THE CoTToS CROP IN
ALABAMA.--F. Cridland, the British consul
at Mobile, writes to Lord Stanley, under
date Of May Goth, some facts shout the cot
ton crop in Alabama. He says - +
"some months ago, owing to the very
low price of cotton, the planters Of Ala
bama were entirely disheartened, and
talked of giving up cotton raising as alto
gether Improbable; but the great rise in
the value of cotton during the months of
March and April has produced general
rejection, and the belief now exists that
with fair season at least 100000 bales
will be produced in Alabama alone. The
overfowing Of many plantations and other
lands, oceasioned by the never-ending rains
Of the last thirty days, has done no mate
rial damage; for the cotton is up, as we'll as
the Indian corn, and the negroes are work
ing and conducting themselves better than
usual. This is owing, probably, to the fact
that the political excitement among the
blacks before the election Of last year is not
likely to disturb their minds this year.
Money is again more plentiful also, owing
to the rapid advance in cotton and now
that their shipping season is about to close,
most of the cotton having arrived at the
ports, the planting interest is stimulated,
the depression has disappeared, and the
prospect is highly favorable

DARING ROBBERY IN WALL STREET
$50 900 IN BONDS STOLEN AND RECOVERED.
A most daring theft was committed IN q
Westinghouse yesterday morning, which
fortunately proved unsuccessful, though not
through any fault Of the police. It appears
that at about half-past IL o'clock Benjamin
Herts, lad in the employ of D. A. Body
& Co., whose banking house is located on
the second floor OF No. IL Wall street, was
returning to the office, having in his posses
sion bundle containing $50, 900 in Govern
ment bonds, and as he was ascending the
stairs he was assaulted by an unknown man,
who seized him by the throat and beat his
head against the wall until he became al
most insensible, and was compelled to re-
lax his grasp on the bonds. The assailant
then seized the bundle and fed. He ran
through Wall street to Broadway, and
crossed Broadway to Rector street. As he
was running down Rector street he jostled
rudely against gentleman who was walk
ing towards Broadway. This gentleman,
noe reliehing the rude treatment, turned on
the fugitive and Squared off, at him,
when, to his utter astonishment, the thief
threw down his bundle and continued his
fight. He was soon lost in the crowd, and
made his escape. The bundle containing
the bonds, which were found to be intact,
was restored to the owner. The lad, though
severely bruised, is not seriously injured.
He gave very good description of the as
sailant, and it is to be hoped that the police
will make some effort to arrest him.-Ner

FUNDING, TAX, AND TARIFF BILLS.
At the caucus of Republican senators
this morning the question Of adjournment
was discussed, but no conclusion was
reached. The general opinion was that it
could be effected between the goth OF July
and the lst of August.
Considerable discussion occurred on the
propriety of considering the funding bill
as an amendment to the pending appropria-
ton bill, which Mr.. Sherman advocated
very earnestly. The opinion prevailed,
however, that it would delay business too
much to cucumber the appropriation bill
with such an important measure, and Mr..
Sherman finally consented to withdraw the
bill for the present.
The tax bill will probably be reported to
the Senate tomorrow, but it will hardly be
taken up this week. Such large number
Of m embers are obtaining leaves Of absence
that it is feared that working quorum
will not be present in the House next
week.
The tariff bill was reported back 10 the
House to-day with number OF amend
ments. The most of the committee are OF
opinion that the bill can hardly be acted
upon this session, though Mr.. Moorehead,
who reported it, thinks differently
