The Cotton Trade,
rvrom The New York shipping List ]

From the New York Shipping List
Tbe,course of the cotton market was proba-
b1v never watched with more absorbing in
terest than now is, and has been doing the
last rour months, because it has not only q more
direct bearing upon finance and commerce than
any other commodity, but because the future
nends mon a scale Of prices sufficiently high
n meet the enhanced cost Of production under
the changed conditions of culture. at the be-
Ginning Of the year the price OF middling up
land was sixteen cents, from which point it
has advanced, with slight reactions, to thirty
three cents. The demand has fully kept pace
With the increase of vulue, and the tendency
annears to be- upward. The course Of the
market during the remainder Of the year
Will of course, depend largely upon
the ruline of prices in the English market,
where two leading causes Increased con-
sumption and short supply-are operating in
favor of very full prices. AS to what point OF
vslne these causes may cease to operate, there
seems to be diversity Of opinion. The spirit
of speculation. however, which always grows
ont Of rising market; as it also contributes to
a rise and which is now materially stimulated
by cheap money in England, may carry prices
heyond the legitimate results OF the influences
ailuded TO. This, at least, is the view taken by
Enoiish statisticians. That goods, instead Of
treas,,, q. are being shipped from England to
the east in payment Of the raw staple drawn
thence. is a notable fact in this connection, and
one which is calculated to strengthen prices.
The annexed statement shows the quantities
of cotton goods forwarded from Great Britain
In the Eastern markets during the first three
months of the present and two previous years:

Tm LATE BISHOP HoPKNs, OF THE EPrsoo-
PAL CHuRcH.-The New York correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Ledger writes as follows:
q A very extraordinary statement is made to-
day BY Rey. John Henry Hopkins, son OF the
late Bishop Hopkins, Of Vermont, leading to
the inference that that eminent prelate, If he
did not die in communion with the Church OF
Rome, held views concerning the Pope any
thing but in accordance with those usually
held BY protesting Protestants. This stats.
ment Is embodied in valedictory from MIR.
Hopkins, vino announces his retirement from
the editorship Of the Church Journal, post
which he has held tor a period Of fifteen years.
He does this, he says, partly in order to pre-
pare for the press several treatises which his
father had in hand when his health failed him.
he says :,"My father left two treatises in man.
uscript, which would have been put to press
this winter had he lived. Indeed, at the time
when the telegram announcing his last and
brief illness reached me, I was daily in expec-
tstion Of receiving the manuscript, to be
placed in the hands Of the publishers. One
Of these works will prove to be Of peculiar In
terest, for he wrote it as 'retractlon' OF an
opinion which he found he had expressed in
one of his previous works, that there Is good
ground for regarding the Pope to be the An
tichrist. In reviewing his books for final cor
rection, with view to o new and uniform edl-
tion, he felt that mere alteration OF the text
in q matter Of 30 much importance was not
sufficient tribute to the truth and he there
fore wrote this little treatise, acknowledg
his error, showing that he was misled by high
authorities without sufficient examination on
his own part, and going on to demonstrate
that the common Protestant notion cannot be
correct. No nobler proof could be given OF
his fearless and conscientious honesty of
character than such close to such career as

Terrible Earthquake in China.

SAN FRANCISCO, May s.-Various terrible
phenomena occurred at Mannaloa between the
2Sth Of, March and the 18th Of April. Two
thousand earthquake shocks occurred. The
shock Of April I'd lasted three minutes. Nc
one could stand IN the houses in Hiwaos, China.
Following the shock came tidal wave sixty
feet high, sweeping everything before it. The
earth, opened with bottomless fssures. Thirty
persons were swallowed. The earth opened
under the sea, making the water red. Vast
land slides in the meantime occurred, destroy
ing life and property. The summit and side OF
ahill, fifteen hundred feet high, were thrown
thousand feet over the tops OF trees into the
valley below. Gasses issued afterwards, des-
troying animal and vegetable life. An island
four hundred feet high was thrown up, three
miles from wais, China, and is joined to the
land by stream Of lava mile wide. The vol
canic display Illuminated the sea for fifty miles.
One hundred lives and half a million OF pro-
perty were destroyed.

sent under the pastoral care Of Rev. DR.: Fuller.
The Southern States are represented BY q
large delegation. All Baptist Ministers, not

minister's from Northern States accepted the
inv al on. Among the latter. are Rev. DR..
Hague, Of Boston, Rev. Dr.. Welch and Rev.
DR.. Backus, of New York, Rev. P. b. Nell, D.
D., of Georgia. The former President was
almost unanimously reelected. DR.. Nell is

the request Of the convention, he prepared
q work ON parliamentary usage, which has
been adopted for the government Of the
body. The Vice Presidents are: Rev. DR..

count Of painful accident, he will be unable
to discharge this duty. DR.. Curry, in compa-
Eny with his wife, was on the Baltimore train
from Washington last night. Before reaching
this city some wicked and malicious person
threw huge stone at the moving train, which
struck Mrs. Curry upon the head and fractured
her skun. She is now in, this city, in most
critical condition. Although in state Of con-
;stant insensibili.y, she. is enjoying the best
medical aidof the city and may possibly recov-

ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Pro
PosEp.-The Central Executive Committee OF
the Democratic party of Elgeield District
suggests the propriety Of calling general con-
vention of the Democracy of the State, to meet
on the second Tuesday in June next, "to ascer'
tain the sense of the party as to the right OF
suffrage, and other grave questions touching
the interest of the State.' The Edgeield Ad-
yertiser adds:
We heartily endorse this resolution, for there
remains no doubt that the recent democratic
Convention. which met in Columbia, failed to
Give entire satisfaction to the Democrats OF
The State. Under these circumstances there is
a pressing necessity for another and more gen.
eral convention.

The enormous production OF British cotton

IN some quarters, il / anticipated that the
