STREET LIFE IN EUROPE.
A EEoTURE BY wendell PHILLIPS

Wendell Phillips lectured in Chicago
few nights since on "Street Life in
Europe He introduced his lecture
with the story of the Vermont stage
driver. who, approaching gentleman in
tavern said IF you're the man that
wants to ride in this here stage. I'm the
man that's going to drive the coach. /"
IF you have come to hear lecture on

Phillips, I'm the man that going to
deliver it." Laughter aud applause
The first thing that strikes an American
abroad is the great amount of individual
independence. In this country We thiuk
we produce independent individuality
but here, the lecturer thought, we make

herd of men, while a monarchy tends
to create the individual One phase OF
this individuality was illustrated by .

ROSIN-The rosin market during
the past week has been a little more
spirited and upwards of 900 bbls
have changed hands. The market, in
its earliest stages, was extremely quiet,
there being little demand for export
and an entire absence Of any speculi-
tive demand. On the second day, al
though the advices from New Iorl
were favorable, yet there was ii want
OF free buyers, and the results Of the
transactions showed very little en-
couragement. In the middle OF the
week, at the "PrOduce Exchange"
there was exhibited Il strong move
ment, aid since then, at the daily meet
ings there has been large movement
both for spot and futures, speculation
and exportat ;aH. On the first day Of

COTTON.-Old ''King Cotton" has

rclapsed into his former qnietude. The
earl y part of the week under the influ-
ence of the continued corner and
steady telegraphic advices from New
York and Liverpool there was some
activity displayed and former prices
were maintained with free sales as the
limited order of buyers would admit.
On Saturday, however, the Corner"
i'll New York which has "btllled" the
market for sometime gave evidences of
a ''break" and our holders here were
offering to dispose of their stock at
lower rates but this even did not sspro-
woke buyers to operate. The market
was nominal up to Tuesday evening
when sales were made at a decline of
to cent. Since then and up to the
close of our writing at noon to-day
there is no change in the marhet and
it closes steady at our quotations given
below. The receipts at onr port for
this week were I32 bales. The export
were 289 bales and the stock in yard
