A New Orleans exchange says Ofcotton
frauds-singulsr waste and shrinkage-
and the way they do it in that city
Complaints OF fraudulent packing and
Of the consequent loss sustained both in
weight ana qusliiy by cOnsignees, have
been so frequent as TO materially affect
the cotton trade. As factors and buyers
deal only 10 samples, such instances OF
chicanery and bad taith affect materially
the rates.
On Friday, the house of Mummy,
LuliDg q Co., IN Union street, gave an
order to the Merchants Press to SEND
down 296 bales Of cotton belonging TO the
house to the ship Magdele, then about to
sail for Liverpool. The order was IKE
cUted, and the number Of bales CORES.
pOuding 10 the order were delivered on
saturday to the ship Ia question.
From some reason or other = suspicion
was awakened in the mind OF Mr.. L1l-
ing tina there was some fraud in the
transaction. He consequently went
down to the wharf with hEOWn cotton
weIgher and had all Of the bales re-
weighed.
The result showed that thirteen out Of
the lot had lost each from $50 to 200
pounds. The cotton furthermore proved
upon examination 70 be of an inferior
quality-said to De Of the kind that is
made up Of uasby cotton and such as is
carried to the piekeries. TIE tales, as
sampled, were, in short, no part of the
lot belonging to the house or that had
been ordered to be shipped. These bales,
nevertheless, had been made to bear the
marks and numbers OF their house.
Mr.. Luling tbereupon made a COM
plant OF the matter 90 the Merchant
Press Company, who denied al knowl-
edge Of the transaction and declared h to
be q mistake.
The above is the account given OF the
affair at the house Of Muramy, Lining &
Co.
Subsequent TO the above fsete, one Of
the clerks confessed that he had had Il
sent 10 q picEery and had had it split.
That Is 10 say that a cesaIian operation
had been performed, and that each bale
had been disembOweled Of two hundred
pounds. This confession, as far Is il
goes, relieves The pFoprietOrs Of all blame
10 the transaction, though It Of eounss .
does not lnySlidate the claims of The
owners Of the cotton against the Pee g.
The cotton was bought 10 the V.pplar
course Of trade from Z. II. and ]. M Al.
len 4 Coz and the operation wa con.
Quoted in good faith, 50 far as the two
houses were concerned.
Whstevsr may be the facts IN the esse.
we learn that tbs matte will take fhe
form of 8 judicial Investigation and such
legal steps Will be taken a. will prevent
the recurrence OF similar ehaIgas.

From tie Woodland (Cal) Democrat, Oct. 16.
resident of Knights Landing sends us the follow
ing account of act OF juvenile heroism On Sat-
urday last two men went TO the farm of Philip
Prather on the Sacramento river, about two miles
boy at the house "a of Prathers). who, upon
ing strangers approach went into the house and
locked the door. The men demanded admittance.
and threatened to kill him if he did not open the
door and give them what money was in the house.
The boy went up stairs, ostensby to get the money,
but instead he brought down loaded rifle, and told
them to leave or he would shoot. One Of the men
told him he could not do it, and they then attempted
to break in the door with clubs when the boy aimed
at the larger OF the two through the window, and
shot. The result he does not know as the fellow
halloed and ran away The boy thinks he hit his
man centre shot The little fellow is only eleven
years old, and his mother was at Knights Landing
trading. Mr.. Prather is at present in the East. The
boy deserves credit for his heroism.

MARTYRDOM.
A Christian Woman Tortured by Chinese.

A Catholic paper in England gives the following ac-
count of an incident which it says recently occurred
at Canton:-"A native Christian woman, much re-
spected!by the Christians and by the pagans who
acquainted with her. has devoted herself for 20 years
to the rescuing and baptzing infants abandoned by
their parents. AT the beginning of July she was
arrested on the charge of practising sOrcery upon
young children, and of taking out their eyes, the
marrow of their bones, and even their souls, with a
view to tine preparation of magical remedies. She
was several times put to the question, and savagely
beaten on the face with leathern straps to induce
her to confess her guilt. In the midst of her
tortures, however, she maintained the greatest
courage and constancy in cCnfessng the faith
She was condemned to death, and it was feared
that the sentence would be Immediately executed
Upon this M. Gerardin, the resident missionary, sue
ceeded in obtaining entrance to the prison, heard
her confession, and administered to her the Holy
Viaticum; while the Bishop Mgr Guillemin, left no
means untried to obtain respite. This granted,
and the Vceroy spread report that the would
be carried by appeal to Pekn. But in the meantime
the populace excited to fresh Violence and the
mandarins subjected the accused to fresh eXamna-
tions forcing her to remain for many hours kneeng
upon iron chains. All of sudden, however, tn J
victim of persecution set at liberty and received
with public demonstrations Of joy by the Christian
part of the population"
