and have, we believe, completely exhausted
their holdings. The stock in Havre is but SO. :
600 bales, agaist 98, 600 last year, though there
is an excess Of that afoat ttaking American
and Surat together) OF $1,000 bales. This sup
ply is almost the only one open to the Cont
nent till December, excepting our market, and
we have no doubt that large and continuous
export demand will be experienced here for
some months.
Should our manufacturing districts be put
upon full time, and the export demand stimuli,
taneously revive, the of-take from this mar
ket would reach $1,000 to 10000 bales per
week, and it would be felt that our supply was
little enough for the remainder OF the year.
From America the accounts Of the growing
crop continues good, and pu bic opinion seems
to be leaning towards yield OF two and hall
millions OF bales. We find, however, that
nearly ell competent judges consider that
there is smaller area under cotton than last
year many think from fifteen to twenty-five
per cent. less, and therefore We think 1t ls
hazardous to calculate on yield much greater
than last year. The crop, no doubt, is looking
we'll lust now, but the prospect might be en-.
tirely changed before two months are over.
We have seen in each Of the two years dis
position to overrate the crop at this period,
and a great revulsion Of feeling afterwards,
and spinners would do we'll to bear this in
mind in making contracts for future delivery:
II is evident that if any serious accident befail
the growing crop the face Of this market would
be entirely changed, for there are no reserves
of American cotton to fall back upon, and q
few weeks Of active demand would run s;ocks
alarmingly low.
In America the scarcity Of cotton is uneram-
pied at this Season Of the year, the best proof
of which is that prices are about four or five
cents above the parity Of cur market.
American spinners have run themselves en-.
t;rojy ont oP stock md will be eager buyers of
the early arrivals, and therefore we doubt if
any supplies OF moment can reach this market
before December.
From India the exports are now very tri-
ding, say 46, 600 bales from Bombay to all Eu-
rope in the first three weeks Of July. and from
ali we can learn, we think they will continue
very small to the remainder Of this year.

The Election I'm Why
the Republicans did not Vote.

The following article, which appear
ed in the New Orleans Republican, Of
Saturday, correctly foreshadowed the
rebel victory at the polls in Louisiana,
Of which our dispatches have informed
US:
''The reign of terror which has been
inaugural ed, and which continues al
most throughout this State, will make
an election on the 81 Of November
practically farce. Mnltitudes Of COL
ored citizens have been Murdered, be-
cause they were Republicans. Thou
sands have had their registration papers
torn from them, because they designed
voting the Republican ticket. Num-
bers of white men have been killed or
driven from their homes for the same
reasons. We are certain that if every
possible effort should be made it would
be an impossibility to poll one half of
Tire real Republican vote in the State.
II the effort should be made with firm
ness and determination many polling
places would simply become scenes Of
massacre. With these convictions we
have this advice 10 oHer Republicans
throughout the State Whichever you
can vote without reason able apprehen-
sion of being subjected to personal vi
olence, do so. Vote our Electoral
ticket, and for your candidate for Con-
gress. Avoid opportunities for those
quarrels, and those discussions which
surely ripen into quarrels, which must,
as affairs stand now result in large loss
of life. In brief, if you can, without
peril of life, exercise your right to the
elective franchise, do so; if you can
not, remain at home Remember that
your opponents have allowed their
"vaulting ambition to o'erleap ITSELF"
and by their ruffianly violence, which
was to have secured Just the amount of
intimidation to yield them victory,
strewn the path to the polls with too
many mangled corpses to make it the
travelled road of a freely expressed
opinion. There are tribunals of appeal
beyond the mobs of Louisiana, and to
them we can go, with full confidence
for redress Of grievance"

Legal Anecdotes.

Sergeat Marryat, who was an emf
nent Queens counsel, some time after
he had retired from practice, declared
that the anxiety of people to go to law
was amazing to him--a veteran expert
in the chicanery of courts. "For my
part" said he, ''if any man we're to
claim the coat upon my back, and
threaten my refusal with a lawsuit, he
should have it, lest in defending my
coat, | should find that / was deprived
of my wastccat also"
Lord Stanhope, to illustrate the care
lessness with which acts Of Parliament
are prepared, brought forward a certain
statute in which the punishment of
fourteen years transportation was i'm
posed for a particular offense, sand
that, upon conviction, one half thereof
should go to he King, and one half to the
inforiner
Conflicting evidence is one of the
chronic difficulties of courts and juries.
1t is not every judge, however, who
can balance its uncertainties as mathe-
matically as NJ. Barton Perrot. "Gen-
tlemen of the jury" this judge is re-
ported to have said, in summing mp
evidence in a certain case, ''there are
fifteen Witnesses who swear that the
watercourse used to flow in a ditch on
the north side Of the hedge; on the
other hand, gentlemen, there are nine
witnesses wno swear that the water
course used to flow on the south side of
the hedge. Now, gentlemen, if you
substract nine from fifteen, there remain
six witnesses wholly unoontradicted ;
and recommend you TO give your ver-
dict for the party who called those six
witnesses" =" .-
Mr., Jekyll, who rose to be Attorney
General, had a great and uniform flow
of spirits, while Erskine, with his irit-
able constitution, was subject to attacks
of hypochondria. He once addressed
Jekyll, with statement Of his Attic
tons, who answered him: ga pain in
your bowels Get yourself made At
torney- General, Erskine, and then you
will have no bowels at all /"

ESCAPED.

Outside the door the empty cage
Is mournfully suspended,
pretty snare TO catch the bird
Whoseprison song is ended.
He sings, he sings
Of glorious things,
And files on never weary wings
One backward look perchance he fings
The careless, gddy rover;
I'm free !" In ecstacy he sings,
my prison days are over J"
The chains are on the dungeon floor,
The manacles are severed,
And he who late those fetters wore,
BY grace has been delivered.
Ne sings, he sings
Ofwondrous things;
How far his soul extends her wings
The harp Of Joy anew he strings,
Though pain and bliss are blended;
'I'm feec I'm free !" lie gladly hngs,
"My captive days are enled!"
Thus my soul, the birds delight
And joyful freedom sharing,
Pause in its upward, heavenly flight,
lis liberty declaring.
On angel wings I'D.
lie scars and sings,
His home is worth immortal things
With saints in heaven his harp he strings.
Where JOY with joy is blended
Triumphantly he shouts and sfngS,
'MyGdptive days are ended"

stances all his efforts would be exerted to aug
ment the friendship between the two peoples;

THEPovERTY OF LONDON. London is never
tired Of admiring its own Vastness and wealth,
it's population, greater than that of many king
doms it's trade larger than that Of India the
annual addition of a new city to its extent and
resources. tits we'll before the next hymn is
sung to Mammon and his glory, to remember
this little fact the number Of London paupers
relieved by legal aims on the last day of Febru-
airy in this year, was $50. Add tho pro-
fessional beggars, tramps, and the people who
do not beg, but remain dinnerless, and we shall
find that London contains q population as great
as that of Leeds with nothing to eat The So
cial cohesion must be strong which stands that
