The New York cotton market was 6rmer
and more active. Sales 8200 bales at 31o.
AT Liverpool the staple was unchanged.
-On last Saturday, at Sand bar Ferry, near
Beach Island, South Carolina, colored man,
disciple Of Fetish" partook largely Of yellow
jessamine tea fossa pain in his back. and after
loss of sight and suffering, expired from it's
poisonous effects.
-On Monday last, George Warren, q colored
resident of Savannah. foolishly pinued his
faith to the fallacious treatment Of colored
Fetish doctor, and drank Of vegetable tea
made OF a poisonous plant, gathered by mis-
sake. 1T brought on delirium, causing him to
commit suicide by drowning IN the river, from
which his body was recovered. III uLa0u.
"A colorcd boatman on the Savannah River,
20 whose care q large lot OF provisions was
committed for shipment tu Dallas Landing, on
the 11th inst, stole the entire cargo and re-
ported it as having been safely delivered after
he had sold it. An Investigation was instituted
and the thief arrested, who tried to get off
Soy about the boat careening, and o portion
o. "A. goods being miraculously saved, which
he conceived, in consequence Of his exertions
to preserve them, to be his own. and hence he
he s. ID them. He was committed to Jail In

The New York Times says: 'sDespite all
the efforts OF the English and other nations to
foster the growth of cotton in India, Egypt,
&c., the place OF America has never been really
fillt'l and returning industry OF the South will
fin plentiful demand for it's produ .tons.
The latest returns of the British Board of
Trade show that there are now fifty thousand
people less earning thoir living in cotton man
ufaoture than there before tho rebellion;
whereas, If the English cotton factories had
increased during the seven years since 1861
at the Same rate they did the five years pre-
oeding, the cotton manufacturing population
Of England would be one hundred and seventy
thousand more than it is noT. So enormous is
the loss which the stoppage OF American cot
t on inflicted upon British industry"
The Japanese are beg inning to come to us

coolie gangs, but in families. Three Of these
las have arrived at San Francisco with one, of
the late Tycoon's Prussian officers, Mr.. Scheli,
and o number of other families are preparing
to follow, purpoaing to cultivate silk and tea and
bringing with them 30 coo infant mulberry trees
and six millions of tea nuts. II ls said some Of
the Northern princes will also come over with
their feudal or natural retaners; from which
we are in chned to think that those Orentals,
rushing in upon US, will actually t'open up''
and overrun this country long before we can
do the same for theirs. They will assuredly
do us great service; but they will give 8 20 ety
q rather mottled or plebald appearance. 1t is
curious question, altogether, for the political
economists and the social philosophers.
"A Herald special from Havana June 4, via
Key West, 9th, states that the programme OF
the volunteers is to remain quiet until the ar
rival Of General Osballero dc Roia, allow him
to assume command, and then await events.
The Spanish Admiral strongly objected to the
action OF the volunteers in deposng Dulce, but
as he finally 'acquiesced, 1T is believed he will
emain passive, spectator of whatever they
may do before the arrival Of General Roda.
Another dispatch of the same date states that
he volunteers have removed the Governors of
Oardenas and Colon, and propose to establish
