It seems that the cotton interests Of
Brazil are on the decline. While the
exports OF this staple from Rio Janeiro,
in 1868, amounted to 113. .465 bales, they
were. in $780, only 45,OQ5 balos-an
enormous falling on-which was further
reduced in 1870. when the exports from

A cable despatch has already men
toned the discovery and Illustration OF
plot to kill the Pope, conoooted by men
connected with the International Society
Of Paris, London and Florence. A let
ter from London. Of June 20, gives fur.
ther details Of this contemplated afro
city. The Pope was to have been killed
on the 10Th of that month, as he was
proceeding along one of the corridors Of
the Vatican to celebrate mass in the
Sistine Chapel. Attention was first
drawn to the plot through wager laid
against the duration of tho Pope's lie,
aud visits Of numerous suspicious charao-
ters to the Vatican, on the pretext OF
seeing members Of the household. A
number Of the Communists are believed
to have arrived in Rome. Foreigners. OF
low class have exchanged an extraordi-
nary number :of 1OO.frano French gold
pieces. Those desiring the Pope's life
assert him to be the sole remaining rep
resentative and the only exponent Of
legitimate authority on the earth. With
his removal, they think that political
