There Is an institution in this city of New Or
leans which is essentially worthy of paragraph
or q city topic. 1t is the Hancock Club, whose
domicil is in the Imperial Building, corner of
Gravier and Carondelet streets. The club already
numbers over six hundred members, and every
week from fifty to one hundred of the best citi.
zens of New Orleans are applying for the privi-
lege OF membership.
Yesterday. in company with friend, the writer
visited the Hancock Club, and wandered through
all its ramifcations in the second third and fourth
stories. On the second floor he partook twice
Of the excellent liquors at the bar, and once of the
equally excellent lunch. he also met good
many friends gathered in knots and around tables,
talking politics or partaking OF the good things.
The parlor is admirably well furnished, and Q
cosier or more comfortable one could hardly be
imagined. The floor above is devoted to billiards
and other games, whilst the fourth story is not
yet prepared for the members, but soon will be.
The writer had heard SO much Of the billiard
tables of the Hancock Club that, though but dull
player himself, he examined them very curiousy
and minutely. he found them the most beautiful
and perfect tables he has ever seen. ball re-

Hon. Clifford, the Demosthenes Of the lower
courts, sues Baker, the celebrated English
scholar, or, rather, the Admirable Crichton of
this degenerate age, for the paltry amount of one
hundred and seventy dollars, due for salary as
registrar from some date in October to some
other date in November. When Clifford rises,
with spectacles on nose. before a justice of the
peace, climbs up to the forensic trspeze, and
swings himself to and fro on the wings of bathos
and hyperbolical nonsense, the laws of reason and
good taste are suspended, and the mighty Field
draws in his Atlantean shoulders and hides his
diminished head.

Savannah Market.

SAVANNAH, December 23.-CoTToN.- mar
ket during the past week has been marked by
no features worthy OF note. 'Steadiness" ex-
presses the strength of the market here and the
prevailing opinion is that cotton will yet be
'king."
The market for the past week has been very
active, and although decline has been exhibited
shere Is actually no falling of In prices. Holders
are very firm, and refuse TO spread their samples
at prices buyers feel disposed to offer. The Of
affirmed that the crop IS now In the market.
BY our statement which, with great pains, we
have supervised, 1t appears that the stock on
hand and on shipboard amounts 10 49, ,763 bales
upland, and 1928 bales sea islanp.
The receipts for the week ending to-day foot up
1886 bales upland and 4S2 bales sea island. The
exports are Il, 719 bales upland and 55l bales sea
island, as follows: To Havre, per bark st. Mary,
1850 bales upland and 20S bales sea islahd to Liv-
erpool, per steamship City OF Manchester, 3lSe
bales upland and l21 bales sea Island; to New
York 1850 bales upland and 14S bales sea island;
to Boston 500 bales upland per schooner Louisa
Fraser; to Baltimore 543 bales upland, part OF the
cargo OF the ship Alexandra; and to Charleston,
Of IL, 7I9 bales upland and 65l bales sea island.
FIHANcIAL.-Money has been painfully tight
during the past week. without hope OF improve
ment till 1st January. The Central Railroad divi-
dend is being disbursed but only free sales OF cot
ton can make the banks easy. Domestic sight is
In over supply; buying HaA OF, and selling ,<a1s
Off in q limited way. Sterling 2S1ia2g Gold,
after touching 1917 in New York, has rallied one
point. We buy here at 20a21; selling at ~, sc.
curities only sell in petty retail way, without
sacrifice. On the whole, they are held with firm
ness.
Tie political situation has tended to shake con-
ddence in public debts, but 1t is comforting to
know that our present municipal officers cannc..
be changed under any law passed by Congress,
nor that could be passedby the Legislature.
