with MS. John Bigelow, who is Mr.. Tilden's

Insurrecti0ns Against the Authority OF

Boston, September 16.-The cable some
weeks ago made brief mention of tronble on
the Island of Madagascar, which, it was said
involved the safety of Americans. The bark
Taria Topaz, from the island, is the first
vessel to- reach this country with tidings OF
the true state of affairs. She reached port
yesterday, and the passengers report series

trouble grew out of the queens prohibition
Of the export of ebony, rosewood and other

The merchants of New York are making
loud cutlery about the advance on cotton
rates by the Southern railway freight SCENTS,
which cotton receivers IN that city say is
twenty per cent. over the rates of last
season. This will drive the etaple to South
ern ports-to New Orleans, Mobile, Charles
ton and Savannah. The low rates on the
Mississippi water route will prove formIda-
BILE drawback to the railroads, and, as far as
the Southwest is concerned, New Orleans
will reap the most benefit. The rates from
this city show how the thing is going to
work. We eau ship from here by boat at
81 per bale, while rail rates, as now fixed,
are 81 per bale to New York, difference q
IS. AT the same time ocean freight from
New Orleans TO Liverpool is but 81 to 81 so
more than from New York. Under these cir
cumstances it will be 10 the interest of ship
pers TO do business by way of New Orleans
and Memphis in preference TO New York.
