the previous dullness seems to have been favor
able last week to An unusual degree of activity,

half cent a yard. In other descriptions of
domestic cottons prices have finer tone, with
out any decided change. Printing cloths are
inactive, but the stock In first hands Is too limit
ed to create any fears Of fall from the present
prices. The demand for prints for the season Is
about over; sales are to q mOdefative extent,
and confined chiefly to a few attractive STYLES.
Sprague's fancies and dark fall staples are
quoted at IL cents, with the usual deduction of
one per cent. WOOlen goods Of all descriptions
are languid. Some large sales have been effect

Is small, and prices are irregular. The trade in

hence that either b. F. Brewster or Judge
Strong, of Pennsylvania, will be appointed to
fill the vacancy caused by the transfer of At
torney General Hoar to the Supreme bench.
There may be grounds for this expectation, but
the majority here seem to regard District At
torney Pierrepont, of New York, as the coming
man. An objection to this theory Is however
found in the circumstance that his State is al
ready represented in the Cabinet; and the prob
ability is that the winning man will be one
whose merits and chances have not yet been
canyassed by the general public.

THE NEW CABLE AND ITS TBRMINI.

The cable which has just reached its desti-
nation will be a thousand miles longer than
the English cable, or about three thousand
miles altogether. Its moneyed projectors
are MesSrs. Erlanger and Reuter-, enemies
of the north during the late war, who are
backed by Il large array of stockholders.
The longest section of the cable Is that from
Brest to st. Pierre, 2,:2j miles; the shorter
one. from st. Pierre to the coast of Mas>i-
chusctts, will be I'D miles long. The Sec
tons of the cable between Brest, st. Pierre,
and Boston, are skin number, and 1t needs
six sDlicinoS between these points.
This island, hitherto an insignificant
point, has become conspicuous by the sue
cess of the cable. South of Newfoundland
arc three small islands owned by France in
the interest Of the abundant fisheries i'll
their neighbOrhood. These islands are st.
Pierre and the two Miguclons, and they
contain altogether about 100 square miles,
and few thousand inhabitants, who export
annually about eight million francs worth,
importing whale and Goldfish oil and Goldfish
principally to the extent of Il little less than
eight million of francs. The islands are the
sole remains of French possession in North
ern America, and date their ownership from
an early period of colonization. When
Newfoundland was surrendered to the Gov
eminent of Queen Anne they were never
theless retained by France.
ROuse's Hammock, mt the town of Dux-
bury, in Massachusetts, and near the Gar
net Light of Plymouth harbor,, will be the
American end of the cable. The Massachu.
sets Legislature have chartered Il company
to carry line out beyond the jurisdiction
of the United States and splice it with the
French cable, in order to avoid any diff,
culty growing ont of the Constitution OF
the United States law with reference to this
subject. Duxbury, where the cable will
have an office, was once a ship-building
port OF promise, but, like Plymouth and
Salem, has passed into decay commercially
The late United States Consul-General at
Tripoli, Mr.. j. NJ. Gaines, will have charge
of the office, assisted by twelve operators
According to the terms of the original I'm.
perial grant, the price of dispatch is not
to exceed twenty dollars for twenty words

perfect, and its central wire Is larger than
that of the English line.-Nc,o York Tr1.
