New York, Not. 15, 18C5.
Fiorn the English papers received late last;
week, and by the latest arrivals on Monday, it
is manifest that the late Adams-Russell cor
respondence and the various arterial vibrations
resulting from the death of ^Palmerston keep
die people and the press of that country in
fintinuai excitement. It is again repeated
over and over again that the thing about tho
Aialmma is in Russell’s hands, and Was so
from the beginning—that he, and he alone,
must settle that question, and it is upon that
question, and upon that alone, the English
people would tolerate Earl RuBsell as First
Minister of the crown. That it is from neces
sity, not from choice, he is permitted to suc
ceed Palmerston in office—just as a man takes
physic from necessity he takes and endures
the nascau and makes wry faces at it all the
while.
n
The New York papers on Monday contained
I correspondence from England on the subject of
I English professions of neutrality during the late
I w.ir. It is now fully ascertained, and the name s
I of the parties are all- published, that very ex.
I Inordinary disclosures have come to light on
I the subject of contraband goods having been
I supplied in British ships, and that the English
I Consul at Havana became agent, and used
I his official information for the benefit of Mr.
B Jeff. Davis, and for the benefit and convenience
■ of the rebel States in the matter of contraband
■ roods and munitions of war.
Ej There were two arrivals on Monday by
fa which we have English news down to the 3d
■ instant. English Consols and stocks of all
E kinds, including American securities, were
K without change from late quotations.
P In the early part of the week ending the
i 3d Nov., the tone of the market in general in
dicated a firmness with advancing rates, but
R. towards the close prices receded by little and
K little until the decline was fully a penny, and
I, finally, three half-pence a pound. By the la
ke lest accounts the broker’s circular conveys the
II intelligence that a rally had set in and the ar-
pc nele not only improved in demand, but an ad-
m 'once was effected with an active disposition
If «n the part of buyers. The sales for the week
Ih made a foot of 51,000 bales, of which 29,000
if were taken by speculators and for export. It
B »specially referred to that the decline in vai-
ne was confined to Egyptian and American
produce, the rates of which were: For New
Orleans Middling and Fair, 20 3-4 to 23, and
f r Epland and Mobile, 20 1-2 to 22 1-2. The
stick in port was estimated at 323,000 bales, of
riiuh 64,000 were American produce. In
Manchester, trade of every branch in cotton
•wd cotton goods was inactive.
The advices from Calcutta and Bombay are
'o the 14th of October, and very meagre they
are - The report is simply as to shipments,
without any quotation as to value—from Cal-
20,000, and from Bombay 50,000 bales.
Freight 30f., and exchange on London 2 1-2.
The accounts from Europe, on the subject
"t the cholera, are gratifying and worthy of
thanks to our All Ruling Providence. In Paris

stages were fearful—cleanliness and healthful
occupations ruled supreme over the malady.
The period tor entering articles for the ex

tor to the 31 st January next, which is to be

In the cotton market on Saturday, the business
done exhibited a better feeling aDd more confi
dence seemed to pervade the transactions ol the
day. The teceipts were 1,023, and the sales 2,425
bales at the following currencies : Upland and
Florida equal, 41, 51, 53 : Mobile and New Or
leans equal, 42, 52, 54. On Mohday it would be
difficult to form an opinion of how the market
regulated itself, for it would appear that its ac‘
tion was quite independent of human coutrol.
The receipts were 1,323 and the sales only 800
bales, th6 whole concern from the opening to the
close, being fitful and feverish, and such ex
changes as occurred were in favor of the buyers.
In the sales effected, the Upland Florida and the
Mobile and)New Orleans were of equal value—
the former being 39, 49, 51, and the latter 40, 50,
52. Yesterday there was alittla more activity in
cotton transactions, and the rates a shade higher
but scarcely quotable. Middling qualities were
those principally in demand. The receipts were
2,800 and the sales 2,200 bales, the currencies of
which were for Upland 33, 49, 52; Florida 33>
60, *2; Mobile 34, 50, 53 ; New Orleans 34,61, 53-
Yesterday there was a sale at auction of Gov-
ernment cotton Of 1,384 bales, the rates of which
were for low Ordinary 36 1-2, Good Ordinary 38
1 2, 44, Strict Middling45 1-2, 49, and for Mid-
ding Fair 57.
The money market all last week, especially
that of gold, realized the nursery rhyme of
“See Saw margada daw”—up and down with
the most capricions uncertainty. It was al
leged at one period that the goli} thrown on
the market from the sub-treasury had a de
pressive tendency, and yet sales were effected
at a gradual advance. On Saturday the stock
market was firm and without change in value,
whilst gold opened at 146], and elosed at
146 7-8, the feeling being cool and steady all
the while. On Monday the market was re
ported commencing as in a state of infancy—
weak; but strange to say, from a weakly state,
it suddenly became strong—commencing at
146, rising arid falling like fnn, and finally
closing amidst a storm of voices at 147 1-8.—
This was sharp practice in bulimy and rearing
and rigging the market—Ketchum to-wit:—
some one is sure to suffer, as sure as that nu
merals will not yield, and as plainly as that
two and two make fonr. Yesterday the stock
market in genhral was firm but dull; an in
active langonr having prevailed daring the day
in which the gold exchange participated. The
market opened at 147, rose to 1-8, and then to
1-4, and after palsied efforts to move up or
down, finally closed at 147, the opening price.
This day there is no feature of interest so
far to record.
i On Monday the beautiful structure, St. Geor
ge’s Church, on the corner ot 16th street, was
utterly destroyed by fire, which was purely acci
dental, arising from neglect. It was a spacious
aod chaste specimen of architectural beauty, ca
pable of accommodating a congregation of more
than two thousand, and comparatively new, hav
ing been erected in 1848 for the Rev. Dr. Tyne,
at a cost of $200,000. The organ which, with all
other things, was utterly consumed, was pro
nounced to be a magnificent instrument and was
eree’ed at a cost of $10,000.
General Grant and his euite arrived in this city
on Monday night, ^tnd all day yesterday he was
literally besieged by visitors at his hotel.
On last Monday evening a very numer
ous meeting assembled iu the Cooper
Institute to sympathise with 1 the suffer-
ingpeo pie of the Southern States, and to
devise means for the relief of those in need.
The proceedings were of the most interesting
character, and the speeches delivered were re
plete with every sentiment calculated to ad
vance the laudable subject in hand. The
speakers were Mr. Senator Morgan, Governor
Parsons, the Revs. Dr. Thompson, H. \V.
Beecher, and Gens. Mande and Fisk. Amongst
tho arguments urged on the occasion was, that
in the South there should be “ strong guaran
tees for the treatment of the freedmen,” and.
that the basis should be, “freedom, industry,
education and Christian charity.” Mr. Morgan
presided.
On Saturday night a fellow named Browne,
who is in custody, was accused of having ig
nited a cask of Kerosene Oil in the basement
of a house in Elizabeth street, with the inten
tion of firing the house, and another fire was
attempted to be effected in a honse in Pearl
street, and both houses in the upper stories
were numerously inhabited. Fortunately the
fires were discovered and snbdued before much
damaged had ensued.
For the three months ending the 31st Octo
ber last there were 16,473 males and 5811
females arrested by the Police force of the city.:
A melancholy case of self-destruction occurred
here on Monday. The Hon. Preston King col
lector of New York, was staying at the Astor
Honse, which he left on Monday evening, and pro
ceeded to the Hoboken Ferry station, on the Hud
son, where he got on the PatersoD, having paid
his fare, and betore the boat was half way acrosa
the unfortunate gentleman in a temporary fit of
insanity, threw himself overboard into the river,
and instantly sank to the bottom, as every effort
to catch even a glimpse oi his body failed. The
greatest intensity of regret is entertained lor his
melancholy aria distressing fate here Arid in
Washington, where he was in each city univer
sally respected.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was held
last evening in the Cooper Institute, under the
auspices of the American Union Commission,
“organized to aid in the restoration of the
Union upon the basis of freedom, industry,
education and Christian morality.” The buil
ding was crowded in every part, a large num
ber of ladies being in attendance. A fine
portrait of the lamented Lincoln was suspend
ed over the President’s chair, represented be
tween the folds of the American flag. As
soon as the distinguished speakers who were
announced to take part in the proceedings
made their appearance on the platform, they
were warmly greeted, especially Major General
Meade, whose presence seemed to afford in
tense gratification to the large and intelligent
assemblage.
Senator Morgan presided, snd called upon Rev.
Dr. Baooo, of New Haven, to open the meeting
with pr&ver, after which the Chairmen said that
it was not often that the citizens of New York
were called upon to promote the objects of
snch an association as the one whoBe objects called
them together. The Sanitary and Christian
Commissions had done a noble work, bnt the de
sign of the American Union Commission was to
restore industry and encourage education in the
States lately in rebellion. This object was use
ful, practical and noble, and the name of every
man and woman engaged in this work would be
inscribed high on the roll of history. Let New
York take the lead in strengthening the hands
and cheering the hearts of all engaged in the
glorious work, and thus be no less efficient in re
storing peaceful and amicable relations through
out our common country than a short time ago
we were vigorous in prosecuting the war for its
preservation.
Remarks of Governor Parsons.
Governor Parsons, of Alabama, was intro
duced and was received with great applause.
He commenced by drawing a picture of the
destitution’of the South occasioned by the war,
especially in the State of Alabama. According
to the census of 1860 there were five hundred
and twenty thousand white people in the State
of Alabama, and at the time of Gen. Wilson’s
entry the State was feeding one hundred and
thirty-nine thousand white women and chil
dren. There wqpe four hundred and forty
thousand of the black race, but they being the
property of those who owned them they were
provided for. The State appropriated seven
millions of dollars to procure meal and salt for
the poor white people. That was the condi
tion of things in Alabama when the Confede
racy collapsed. At that time the corn crop
was ready to be hoed ; but tho black people,
when informed that they were free, tested the
news by quitting work and waiting to see if
their masters would dajo to order them back
to work. The result was that the State was
now left with one-fifth of the corn crop. Cotton
had not been planted to any extent. If the
same ratio existed in other States as in Ala-
result of time and effort.
Jet ns persevere in the great _ . _
restoring the Union in heart, so that if the time
should ever come wh«D America was called np n
to take up arms it would not be with each other;
but it would be to meet those who assail ns from
abroad. The men who fought each other on the
deadly fields of strife would share in tho honor of
upholding oar fathers’ flog Governor Parsons
on taking his seat was loudly applauded.
Remarks of Dr. Thompson.
Rev. Dr. Thompson, President of the Commis
sion, made a brief statement of its objects. It
was designed to give physical relief to person in
the late rebellious States. Southern merchants
now in the Northern markets represented that
there was not snch destitution in the South as
was reported by some. They only looked at the
matter from a sea-board point of view, while on
the route oi Sherman’s army in the interior there
was great destitution. The association did not
endorse the sentiment of rewarding the Southern
to their deeds. When it came
rebels according
to voting the North would be chary in giving the
ballot to them; but when they wanted food and
clothing they would get them. There was a Work
o! moral, benevolent and Christian reconstruc
tion to be performed. There were five hundred
widows and fifteen hundred children in the town
of Macon, and would their starving condition
not be looked after by the people of the North ?
Mr. Lincoln suggested to the leaders of the com
mission that they should not attempt to “father
the South.” That was not their design; but they
intendedjto “brother” the South. Second, it was
the object of the association to encourage indus
trial aid. Thousands of packages of seeds and a
number of agricultural implements had been sent
to the South, and as their means increased they
would send more. Third, the Commission mainly
designed to promote education. It was learned
that only one in fifteen of the poor whites could
read. In Tennessee there wereeighty-three thou
sand five hundred whites who could not read or
write. The speaker contended that ignorance
was the main cause oi the rebellion, and urged
the audience to give at least ten thousand dollars
that evening to enable them to educate the peo
ple. The two main ideas of the associntion
were, first, co-operation with the South itself;
and second, no distinction of caste, color or creed.
The Commission designed to teach poor whites
and blacks, and thus prepare them for the duties
and responsibilities of men. Dr. Thompson, in
conclusion, made an allusion to a recent visit to
the battle field of Gettysburg and the hero of the
fight (Gen. Meade,) which occasioned enthusiastic
cheering.
Remarke of Rev. Henery Ward Beecher.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher then came forward,
and was received with plaudits. He referred to
the feeliug which animated the English people
with regard to the anticipated termination ot the
war. Those anticipations had been wonderfully
and strangely scattered to the winds by the re
sult. In England they thought that before tbe
war would be closed the South mast be brought
to its primeval state; but this was not so Mr.
Phillips, in his late lecture, styled “TheSouth is
Victorious,” said that the South was victorious.
Tbe most deadly enemy the South ever had wts
their servile system. That is conquered. The
South by consequence suffered from another
deadly enemy—ignorance—and she is victorious
there. And now she is abont to enter upon the
march with the Union, and in that she is victo
rious a second time. She was infested by men
who would have raised an empire based upon
slavery, and these men have been ground to pow
der and the South is victorious there. The South
sought tbe reins of government in this nation,
not to promote the spirit of brotherhood; but the
cursed form of sectionalism that would separate
one portion of the community from the other;
and in the defeat ot that ambition the South
gained another victory. And the South is vic
torious, but not over the North—not over Nor
thern principles, or over jurisprudence or poli
tical economy. No, bnt over oppression. He
was in favor of great forbearance and brotherly
charity to the South. Patience and faith are the
duty of the North—faith in Southern men. And
when the leaders of the Southern people say they
accept the result of the war, he had faith io them,
and would patiently wait and wonid not be moved
from his trust because tbe full fruition of tbe
work did not appear at obce.
In regard, therefore; to the South, all he
wonld ask of them would be to confess that
they were whipped and consent to remain
whipped. He would not ask the South to read
their creed backward, or ask men who were ed
ucated io. the principles of Calhoun, and who
plead that they perilled everything for the-e
principles—he would not ask them to give up
these things because the fortunes of war went
against them. It' would be abhorrent to bis
feelings to ask those men to give up all these
things at once. Bnt he would ask the South
this : That, having submitted to the nrbitra-
Enconrsged by hope, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia,
it efforts of peaeefaiiy and l ean tell yon as an eyewitness that no one
can conceive the distress that exists all through
these States, and nothing the people of the
North can do wiU be too much to relieve that
distress. It was not necessary for him to dilate
on this, and it was only necessary for him to
refer to the impossibility for officers to control
their soldiers to bring the fact before their eyes
that the people of the South mast have fear-
fully suffered from the effects of the war and
the occupation of their country by armed hos
tile troops. And if you reflect that this peo
ple had been for four years shut out from the
world, the whole of the male population en
gaged in war, the women forced to work, no
means of making money; that their currency
was destroyed, and that at the coUapse of tbe
rebellion they were worth nothing—consider
these things and you will see at once that great
distress must now prevail there. Being satis
fied of this, the question is: Shall the people
North relieve this distress? (Applause.} He
was glad to hear such a response- He was de
lighted to have heard the doctrines of pefice
and good will to their brethren South that had
been enunciated on this platform to-night. He
ctmld only speak as a soldier, and of the feel
ings of soldiers to their foes. Tbe moment a
battle was over, what did the Northern sol
diers do? They did not ask those that fell into
their hands why they had taken up arms against
the government; that for so doing they de
served death. No; the moment the battle was
over they carried the wounded of the enemy to
the hospitals, and treated them as brothers.—
That was tho moral taught on the battle field,
and I ask you to make it your moral now;—'■
None held in greater abhorrence the acts and
treason of the South than he did; bnt now that
they are oonquered and disposed to be our
friends, be was for extending to them aU the
relief they needed. (Applause.). Having been
satisfied that distress existed, it was their duty,
as Christian citizens, to relieve them to the
best of their ability^ The best means present
ed to the people of the North for doing this was
through tbe American Union Commission, un
der whose auspices the meeting had been called.
With these remarks, and tbasking them for
their kind indulgence, he^vould conclude.—
(Applause.)
Gen. Fisk briefly advocated the object of the
Commission, and at the close of his remarks
the meeting adjourned—N. Y. Herald, 14M.
bama among the black people, it was manifest „ . - , - .
that there were two hundred and fifty thousand J? 0 " 1 ° f tbe s, ! or . d ’ the ? W,U “capt the result,
people in that State who would be suffering for ' t lat J^ust give some evidence that these

treasury of the State was turned over to him ! I ? a ‘ n ,.^ bl8 ^ a ' condition antece-
(Governor Parsons) it consisted of seven hun | an< * in ^ l fP enaa W® # ^° peace with the South
dred dollars in specie and some millions of i pe ac ® on the condition that the men the war
Confederate Treasury notes which were -not sc ^ 7r0C| and w ‘ lom President Johnson said to
worth the paper npon which they were printed.
The destruction of nearly all the taxable pro
perty of the South rendered it almost impossi
ble to relieve the necessities of the people.
■The Governor eulogized the Freedmen’s Bu
reau in Alabama in charge of Major General
Swaine, which had done good service in alle
viating the sufferings of the blacks. Before
the whole people of the South can realize the
fruit of another year’s industry they must
perish, unless assistance were promptly fur
nished them. Nothing was more important
to the United .States than to restore busi
ness pursuits in all their old relations to each
other. A good cotton crop next year would
do more to sustain the currency of the
Federal Government and to help Mr. McCul
loch out of his trouble^ and to maintain the su
premacy of American manufactures anil com
merce on sea and laud in the future as they were
oforetimos—it will do more to thwart the mis-
ehierous schemes of those who whispered to. the
Booth, “Free trade and cheap goods and down
with the Yankee tariff," than anything else which
you could devise. (Applause.) It would put a
checkmate upon the idea of introducing Egyptian
cotton in the plate of American. He was inform
ed by Mr. Cyrus Field that when be left the port
of Alexandria there were fifty one steamers load
ing with cotton. English capitalists were invest
ing tens of thousands of dollars in railroads in
India, so as to bring cotton from the interior to
the seacoast. These things, it seemed to him,
were worth-consideration. If tho cotton fields of
the South were left nnonltivated for another year
it wonld materially weaken every interest of the
eountry. It was in this way that the Union
wonld be restored in the heart, which no bayonet
eoold join together so effectually. (Applause ) He
had looked -forward to the time when the people
who had been lately at bayonet points with each
other wonid associate oordially,-the North bringing
their oppital to smite with the Sonth in cultivating 1
cotton and the prodnete Af the Sonth. He fioped
the families of Northern men wonld spend a por
tion of the year in the mild climate of the South,
while in the very hotseason the Southern fami
lies would visit the North. In CQUclnsiony* Giv.
him, were the wards of the nation, and which
Secretary Stanton more meaningly said, “Yes*
wards in chancery.” Wo have a right to say
that lhese Southern people shall not, so Boon
as you come back, be given up to waste and
ruiD. He was for universal suffrage; but before
the North can demand of the South that they
shall extend the suffrage to the black soldier,
the North must first extend that rigfit to the
loyal black soldiers itself. We, however, must
have strong guarantees from the Sonth for the
good treatment of the freedmen. (Cheers.)
Letters were then read from Secretory Sew
ard, Lieutenant General Grant and Major
General Sherman, expressing their inability to
attend the meeting, and their entire sympathy
with its object.
General Measles Remarks,
General Meade then came forward, abd was
received with great applause «nd three Cheers
for the hero of Gettysburg. When order was
restored the General spoke as f-dlows :
Ladies and Gentlemen—It is hardly possi
ble for me in suitable terms to express to you
how grateful I feel at the kind and'cordial wel
come yon have extended to me to-night. It
wonld be vanity in me to deny that I expected
my name and services wonld be remembered by
the good citizens of New York. Bot I was un
prepared for this enthusiastic manifestation of
your good feelings, and I can only beg to as
sure you that I shall be ever grateful for it.
(Cheers.). It may perhaps be proper for me to
say a lew words to yon to-night to explain bow
it Is that I am here before you. I have no
pretension whatever to be a public speaker.
And it seemed to me audacity almost equal to
that which was required to fight the great bat
tle of|-Gettysburg for a man to stand before
such an audience, who has no pretension to be
a public speaker, after the sublime flow of eio-
quencebf the gentlemen who have gone before
me. It seemed.to me when I .was told by the
worthy gentleman associate^jn the good work,
and who wrote to me in .Philadelphia, where I
Parsons said that would be the union which '' e8ide ’ ‘ ha ‘ if I . came ^ e f® r to - n « bt ^w
wonld secure harmony and peace throughout the York and showed tnyBeif before the citizens,
land. It was by snob means that we wonld hear
one universal song of'gratitude going up over the
land-- He thanked the audience for the interest
they nutaifostod by their pretence, and assured
them that he would bear back the evidence tbit
since his sojourn in tjie North there was a kind y
feeling which.the South hid no Idea 'existed
among the great massof the people. (Applause.)
He asked the people oi the North when they saw
unkind things in the Southern pipers to think
lightly of them, and make dne allowance ior the
People who have passed through snch sufferings.
