LATE foreign newe.
Liverpool, May 31.
. Lot ton. Only a small amount of bust*
smervs was done m cotton at this day’s market
Holders were, notwithstanding, tolerably firm
and our previous (mutations we e obtained for
1500 bales.
June I.—The sales of cotton to-day are 500
to 1000 bales, with a very dull and llat market,
but without general variation in price; al
though holders have great difficulty in making
sales without some coucessmns from previous
rates.
June 2.—There has been very moderate
extent of business done in cotton to-day, the
sales being scarcely 1500 bags, all to the trade
Comprising 50 f’ernams 8 1-4 J. to 8 1-2 J., 40
Maranhams 7 0 4.1. to 7 7-8., 20 Egyptians
9 l-2d. to 10d‘, Snrats 4*l. tool, and the rest
Americans, chiefly from 5 l-2d to 7 l-4d.-
Prices are without much perceptible altera
tion, although the tone of the market is deck
dcdly heavy and flat.
June fi.—The cotton market still continues
without the least improvement either in the
demand or in p ices. The business to-day is
again very limited, the total sa.es not exceed
ing 1500 bags, consisting principally of Amer
ican description-', but including 19'JSurats fit.

Correspondence of tne Journal of Commerce.
Liverpool, 3J June, 1811.
Since \vc last wrote you per Great Western
our Cotton Market has remained in a very dull
state, and the buyers still hav mg the advan
tage, prices are a slude lower. At no former
period wasthere so large a stock in Liverpool,
hut the shortness of your crop and the known i
fact of the Spinners holding light stocks, j
helps to sustain prices. In Ii ll) the quantity :
of Cotton in the Carriers warehouses in Man- j
Chester cuntir.ued to decrease for nine weeks |
when the Spinners aga.n began to stock l
themselves. Now it has boeu regularly do-. j
creasing ft t twelve vvocks, which 2'** unprece- •
dented ; and as yet we have i.o symptons of
any prospect of Letter trade to induce thorn to
come to tins market for a quantity sufficient
to relieve it. Now nearly all the mills are
jdl it being Manchester race week, and it is i
feared a greater number than have hitherto.
w;il, when they resume, work short, time ,and
hostilities having dgamico.nujece.l with China,
the contusion into which we wore likely to be
thrown by an early dissolution of Parliament,
the uncertainty of what Ministry we are to
have, and the not over abundance of money,
ptill Lave their client on depressing; there .s no
doubt very great distress in the country at tins
moment, and ladures occasionally .akmg place
and among the number two Banks have sus
pended the.r payments. Thesales'of Cotton
lor the week ended on the 28th ult. were only
12,290 bales, of which 9000 were Upland at
59-8 a 7 1-4 : 4090 Orleans, at 5 1-4 a 8 1-4;
1 170 Alabama ar.d Mobile at 51-4 at 7 ; and |
50 Sea island at 19 J- fa 151 per lb. The
business ol the last live days is estimated at
7590 bales. At the public sale of Bon Islands
last week, out of 2100 bags offered, only 120
were sold at a reduction of 1-2 a 1 l-2d per
lb. The import into Liverpool since the Ist
January has been 010,000 bales, against 710,-
000 bales to tins time iast \ear, and the sup
ply from the United States is 507,000 bales
against 0-2,000 in loll), or 115.000 sales iess
than it was then. Our present slock is es
timated at 570,000 bales, agamsl 950,000 ai
the same time iast year, and the stock of A
mericau is about 457,000 bales, or 133,000
bales more than it then was.
The Grain Markets are dull and only a
limited business has been done in bonded
Flour at 20s a 22s tid per bid; the duty re
mains yviihout change. Some of our most
intelligent Corn Factors consider our slocks
of home’grown Grain very light indeed, and
fs.>y they do not know wliac ive should do it it
iv,is not for the Foreign Wheat which is now
faking out oi bond. \Vo look forward With
much-anxiety to our growing crop to give
some relief to the country. Ail accounts
agree that it is very promising with the pros
pect of its being oar.y. V* e expect ihe Corn
question vv.il come on in the House of Com
mons to night, it has and will produce great
excitement. All util of doors seems to think
th ‘tsome modification is necessary, so that
we hope a relaxation will take place by a re
daction in the sliding scale, or a moderate fixed
duty. The safes of Tobacco last moutii Were
45i hlids., and prices have rather given way.
Turpentine is again lower 150 J hois good qual
ity having boon sold at 1 Is Id h 1 Ls 2d per
iv.vt; chiefly tiie former price.
P. L. Os the two Banks alluded to, one
was at Whitby, and the other in Surovysouiy,
but they are not of importance.
Havre, May 91. — Cotton. —During the
early pari of the week, there was a good at
tendance of buyers for the trade, aqd the bus
ji ess transacted was to a pretty fair extent,
with some trilling inquiry also for transit.—
The purchases for consumption however be
ing completed, the market again relapsed into
a dull state, buyers, in the present unsettled
and critical position of affairs in England, ox T
Jobbing the utmost caution, and notwithstan
ding the favorable accounts from our manu
facturing departments, restricting their opera,
lions to the supply of more necessities, The
sales within t lie last few days have, consequent
ly been on a very confined scale, and can
barely be said to form a true criterion as to
the steadiness of prices ; we therefore, maim
tain our previous quotations, observing, how
ever, that any attempt on the part of holders
to realize largely, would prove abortive, unless
perhaps at a concession of some import nee
on their pretensions.
Our stock of goo.l Cotton, which hith
erto been inconsiderable, will now be in
creased by the- recent arrivals, and oiler a j
greater scope for selection than has been the ,
case for some time past. The prospects oil
trade upon the whole, are nevertheless far!
from enlivening for although there is nothing!
in oirdiplo.ii tic relations w.th t t'.er countries 1
to excite apprehension, still the agitation of |
the political questions in Great Britain, and
other circumstances, cannot fail to create a
certain degree of uneasiness, pending their!
decision, among the mercantile community in
general. The imports of Cotton during the
present month have amounted to 49,767 hales,
and the outgoings to 2*2,000 bales, principally
for consumption, very little having boon taken
for other purposes.
Sales from 23d to 31st May, 5645 bales,
viz;—2,s7o bales, N. Orleans, 7<f. a IlOf;
1,371 do. Mobile, 84f. a 100.* ; 1,0*22 do. Up

HAVRE. June *2.—The Commerce of
Monday last, which reached us this morning,
furnishes us with the commercial news from
1 tavre of the 2i)th ult., stating that the Cotton
market of that port remained firm, but with
out any activity, the transactions of the day
having been confined to 38 bales Louisiana at
80 to 80 l-2f. 86 Georgia at Sl*', and *243 bales
Mobile at 8 If. to lo6f.
The following remarks respecting the grow
ing crop, are from the Mobile Commercial
Registe-, <>: the 231 of June.

that, if not too late, the plant may recover
from the effects of the drought.
The New Orleans Bulletin publishes a well
written communication on this subject, signed
by B. Payne, an extensive cotton grower, de
precating the injurious effects on the interest
of the planters, of giving exaggerated accounts
of prolific crops. He thinks, too, that the har
vest of the present year will be deficient; and
as the argument for his opinion is br.ef, we
sta'e it as follows ;n his own words :
‘•When I became a planter, my enquiries
soon satisfied my mind that every gentleman
had, sui generis, a way of guessing peculiar
to himself, and a fixed principle ou which to
form his opinion. This induced me to make
a planting register, in which the time of plant
ing—doming up—growth—blooming—open-
ing &i, c. were all carefully noted, with obser
vations on tbo weather. The doing of tfiis
has given me the following results. My cot
ton was planted the various years stated, about
tiie usual time that planters generally do their
planting,'and never varied more than a day or
so generally from the same time each year.
Now the result
“ The crop of cotton of 1895 was in bloom
the 4th day of June, and the crop yielded 1,-
590,01 id bales. Tiie crop of 1837 was in
bloom the 28th day of May, and yielded 1,-
800,000. The crop of 1898 was in bloom the
1 ftli day of June, and yielded 1,950,000. The
crop of 1899 was in bloom the 24th day ol
May, and yielded 2,200,090. The crop of
l8h) was wi bloom the tith day Os June, and
yields supposed about 1,600,000. The crop
of cotton of this year (1841) was in bloom the
10th day of June, and what it may y.elJ time
will tell.
•‘it is also a fact that the blooming of cotton
and tiie coming of frost in the tail bear some
relation to each other calculated to strike the
mind of an attentive observer, and goes strong
ly to prove that when we have a backward
spring, we have a frost correspondency early.
The consequence is that we have our crops
shortened or increased by it. Thus for ex
ample in the yeir 1836, we had frost the 14th
of October, in 1897 we had frost tiie 27th
Oct. In 1898 we had frost tiie 7di of October.
In 1899 we had frost the 7i!i November. In
1810 we had frust the 1 Till of October. I
speak of frost sufficient to kill the cotton
plant.”
The data may tie of some use as far as they
go, but, they seem to us altogether too slender
a foundation to build a definitive opinion upon.
We should prefer the present condition of the
crops as a criterion toariy speculative argument
of the kind, even if it were the lesult oi much
longer experience.

The editor of the Plaquemine Gazette, aftc-r
computing the area of Louisiana at 49 millions
of acres thus ailols the different soils : ‘‘Sugar
250,090 acres, rice 259,901), cotton 2,100,000
making in all not quite 9,090,000 of acres. A
reat, portion of the remaining 27,000,009, is

From the GloUe.
Mr. Clay introduced to-dav the report on
the Secretary's project of a Fiscal Bank of the
Uluted States. They resolve it all into a Bank
of the United States, aider the model of the
last
The committee declare that the establish
ment of a National Bank is indispensable.
That it is to be regarded as a settled ques
tion that it is constitutional.
That the question of expediency would not
he discussed.
That it is the deliberate opinion of the com
mittee, that an immense majority of the people
are in favor of and cail fora United States
Bank, and tlv.it it shall be established at this
special session.
Tnat the committee determined to dismiss
all experiments, and take lor the bas>s of tt.e
new Fiscal Bank the last charter of the Bank
of the United States.
‘ That the capital shall consist of thirty mil
lions, which may be increased to fifty mil
lions.
That the dividends be limited to seven per
cent., if deficient one year, to be made up by
the surplus of subsequent years ; surplus over
seven per cent, to go to the United States.
Thai its loans and discounts shall not exceed
its capital more thin seventy-five per cent.
That its affairs shall be open to the inspec
tion of the Secretary of the Treasury, Com
mittees of Congress, and stockholders.
That when its notes exceed three times the
spec.e in its vaults, further loans shall not be
made.
That no paid officer of the Bank shall receive
accommodations by loan.
; That embezzlement by any officer shall be
I held as felony.
These, as far as we could catch them, were
. the principal leatures of the report.
The report repudiates altogether the two
features of the Bank introduced by Mr. Ewing*
jto satisfy constitutional objections. The most
material is that which, in Mr. Ewing’s project,
required the assent of the States to the estab
lishment of branches within them. This, the
report treats as yielding tiie question of the
! constitutional power of Congress to establish a
National Bank, it argues elaborately this
question, and insists on the establishment of
: branches without the assent of the States, to
’ be essential to the system contemplated by the
1 committee.
Another point on which the report wholly
! repudiates the Secretary’s plan, is that which
j proposes to establish the principal Bank in tins
! District, fa far from doing this, the plan of
: the rcpo. takes the whole banking power out
of the District, not even permitting an office
J of discount and deposit to exist within the Dis
trict. It proposes to have a board of directors
as a board of coat ml within the District; but
no bank holding any part of the capital, or pos
sess:n T any power to discount. This, so far
from laving hold of the right of Congress to
j create a banking corporation, as the root from
which the States would draw branches, abjures
altogether the authority of Congress over this
District as furnishing constitutional power to
establish a National Bank in the ten miles, to
spread its branches over the l nion ; but, on
the contrarv, claims the power as applicable
to the United States only, by denying even a
branch with banking power within the D;s
(trie*.
These are the two essential particulars, on
which it is understood the President holds
views diametrically opposite to the committee;
and the committee, notwithstanding the adju
ration of the National Intelligencer, boldly de
termined to push the President to the wall,
and make him surrender at discretion. It is
said by some of the friends of Mr. Clay, that it
has been ascertained in caucus the measure
can be carried in Congress without regard to
the constitutional objections which Mr. Ewing’s
proposed plan was intended to remove. We
infer, therefore, that Mr. Clay is willing to try
conclusions with the President before the peo
ple, if he dare venture on a veto.
The W hig Party. —Harsh language, the
following, to emanate from a leading and in
fluential Whig Journal:
And what is their reward ! How has this
truly confiding and patriotic Party been treated
bv those to whom they have entrusted tiie
great work of national reform ? Look at the
ha if and half message of the Executive; the
silence of the administration cm the subject
ol a Bankrupt Law; the c ol J and heartless res
ponge of the secretary of fla Treasury to a call
lor the project of a National Bank; the tardy
act of the gcrarnment in removing obnoxious
politicians trum office ; and finally, the conduct
of the whig parly in Congress, and the reader
has at once an answer to our questions.
So far as its leaders and deputations can dis
grace a party, the whig party has been, is dis
graced by those who represent it in the
capital. With a large numerical majority,
they have meanly truckled to the minority ;
and with the power to carry out all the great
measures which they were elected to establish
—either from petty personal jealousies, local
feelings, or the desire to advance the interest
of certain ambitious politicians, they have
trilled away their time, exhibited a disgrace
ful disregard of the feelings and expectations
of their constituents, and made tho very name
of whig a mere bye-word, conveying to tiie
mind tiie idea of a body of men who have no
bond of union, and who are ready at any mo
ment to sacrifice their principles to their per
sona! objects.—N. Y. Courier,
Froru the Albany Artis.
THE FISCAL BANK.
The project of the Secretary seems to meet
with disfavor at ali hands—save from one, and
that by no means an.unimportant quarter.
l’lie Courier and Enquirer assails the pro
ject tliiough a column of denunciation, touch
ing the name, the plan, tiie location, Stc. &,c.,
starting vvilli the lollowing postulate:
“Mu. Ewing’s Bank Project- —This, it
cannot be denied, lias caused universal disap
pointment* It is not such a bank as tiie whig
parly desire; it is not such a bank as tiie ex
igences of the country require; and it is not
.-*ich project for a bank as ihe people of (tie
Utilled .States had a right to expect from Mr.
Ewing.”
The American declines even to publish the
bill, winch appears at large in tHe Washing
ton and sevetal oi’ the New York papers, say
ing,
“The MadLonian publishes at length the
bill for crealing this fiscal agent,’ but as tiie
synopsis of Mr. Ewing presented its main lea
lures, and as, moreover, it is condemned, so
far as we know, vvilli universal consent, by all
tiie practical men of this city, \ V e do not
think it worth while to encumber our columns
with it.”
The Commercial Advertiser, more comply
ing than its “whig” associates just quoted, pub
lishes the bill, and remarks.
“It comes not in the Ibrin that we could
most desire, and before it shall become a law
it may be modified in some of its features.—
But there are difficulties in I tie way, which
• those at a distance cn neither discern nor ap
predate. We left the seal of Government
yesterday, where, during a flying visit, we
were not inattentive observers. It is our opin
ion— reluctantly Ibrmed—that a charter for
such a hank as tiie great mass of the co vmer-*
cial and business men of the country most de
sire, cannot now he obtained. And in regard j
I.) the plan before us, although doubts are en
tertained bv some as to the wisdom and prae- I
licability of some of its provisions, vet we do I
know that there are those among tiie ablest j
and clearest heads who believe that it will
work well and answer every purpose.”
The dladisonian likes tiie name, if not the i
thing,
“ Because it expresses its purpose and char- i
acter. Fisc signifies public treasure, revenue,
exchequer. Ban!: signifies a bench or coun
ter, or a repository of money. The lerm Fis
cal Bank of the United States, therefore, sig- i
nifies tiie revenue counter or repository of tiie
United Slates- in oilier words, tiie agent and
repository of the public funds.”
But the Madisonian gives a Iso the follow
ing positive assurance of the favor with which
Mr. Tyier views the project of this “fiscal
bank:”
“ We not only ‘have no doubt of its having
tiie approbation of a mnj >rit v of the beads of
departments,’ as remarked bv a city cotempo
rary, (tiie Intelligencer,) but vve can confident
ly sta'e that il has, in its general features, re
ceived the approbation of the President, which
is the most important, since his concurrence Is
absolutely necessary to its passage.”
Fat cattle. —The Harrisburg Keystone
s'ates that from the 15th April to the 17'h June
Ihe number of fat cattle which passed through
that place for eastern markets, was 8115.
The Richmond Star says:—“A gentleman,
for whose word vve will vouch, lias just re
turned from Charlottesville, and informs us of
the extra, id inary fact that there is living near
that place, a negro woman, aged one hundred
and thirteen years, who is now having a
growth of her third set of teeth. She already
has three white, sound and handsome new
front teeth—a most extraordinary circum
stance, but of its truth there is no doubt.”
Indian Coun. —According to the census re
turns. ihe annual crop of Indian Corn of North
Carolina is thirty four ‘millions of bushels. —
In the production of this important item, there- ;
fore. North Carolina stands second on the list;
—the annual crop of Tennessee, which is the
largest producer, being upwards of forty-two
millions of bushels.—Balt. Amer.
First Newspaper. —lt is stated in the For
eign Journals by E. Grochet, of Brussels, from
a marcfina! note in the band of Adrian de Butt,
a D moii monkish writer of the 15th century,
that the first newspaper of which any trace
can be found, was printed in 1455. It con
tained in'elligence of the peace of Karaninn
with the King of Cyprus, and the conquest by
the Turks in 1454.
Great Menpicitv— According to a recent
calculation made by M. Villeneuve Barge
ment, the number of Mendicants in France
amounts to 178,000 persons : of these 40,000
are aged, 32,000 sickly and if, 76,000 are
children and 30,000 healthy men and women.
This calculation shows there ia. otto medteant

VVAUijiaTo.x, June gl.
To-day the Committee ot Finance in the
Senate reported their scheme ot a U. S. Bank
—and it is a Bank out and out; in all its main
features the oid U. S. Bank over. Ewing’s
project to gain over Tyler, by concessions, and
reconcile tiie measure, to some appearance at
least, with his constitutional scruples, are con
temptuously thrown overboard. It was deter
mined in caucus, it is said, that the teiture
leaving it to tfie States to accept of branches
was at all hazards to be stricken out. The
constitutional question is therefore uakedly
bluffed up to Tyler. If it passes Congress in
this shape, he cannot help vetoing it. The
Whigs must expect this or they must have
the most profound contempt lor bun. Mr.
Tyler’s friends appear to have no doubt of his
course.
The poor Secretary seeius to have no ap
probation or sympathy from either his friends
or his foes. After Mr. Ciay had finished his
Report from tiie Finance Committee rejecting
his Lotions as to a U. S. Bank, Mr, Calhoun
commenced on his Treasury Report, and con
tinued the process of demolition and attrition
begun by Mr. Woodbury, The fabrications
and inventions of tins Report axe abs ilutely
disgraceful to Mr. Ewing as a man. Do not
be surprised, if in Ivyo weeks lrom this time,
the Whig party and the present Cabinet are
dissolved. That is at present, tha aspect of
things here,
Webster has counted all the Democratic
Members of the House—a thing uuiieard of
before, and Mr. Choate, it is saul, opposed
strenuously in Committee the Bank bi 1 repor
ted by Clay. It is also rumoured ifiat tiiere
has been high talk in the Cabinet on account
of Bel!, leltiug out some Cabinet secrets. —
Tiie President probably has found out that he
is more of a spy of Mr-Clay’s than Ins advi
ser.—Charleston Mercury.
Promise vs Performance.—No party was
ever more profuse in promise than the whigs
belore the late election, & none Ins ever been
more meagre in performance,
They promised tfiat as soon as the result
of the late election was known to bo iu their
favor, business should become brisk and the
prices of labor, produce and land should rise.
Well, the result has been known for seven
inoiitfis, yat businasg fias not bean brisk, nor
have prices risen.
They promised that proscription for opinion’s
sake should cease, yet they have displaced
more officers on this ground than any admin
istration ever d.d in tiie same time.
They promised that unnecessary public of
fices should be abolished, yet they have in
creased the number of such offices.
They promised to introduce purer men into
office, yet they have given an especial prefer
ence tqjiipe layers and others of questionable
character. r
They promised that the post office business
should be better managed, yet it is actually
worse managed,
They promised that they would diminish
the public expenditures, yet they have already
proposed a great increase of those expenses.
They promised to tax the people lightly, yet
they have already proposed a great increase of
the taxes.
Ail tins goes to show that the “celebrated
Roman Consul more than two thousand years
ago” was well acquainted with the nature of
whiggery, and that lie was right in asserting
that tew things were more different than the
professions of some men by which tiiey ob
tained office and their practices after they had
obtained it.—Pennslvanian.
We would suggest to Mr. Tyler the proprie
ty of appointing anew officer at Washington, to
“bo called the regulator of accounts or some
such title. Messrs. Woodbury and Wright
have proved on tiie floor of the Senate, mat
Mr. Ewing knows nothing of figures, and the
Boston Transcript, a whig paper, proves from
data furnished by the Lostinas.er General,
that that officer is entirely mistaken in the
sum which he supposes is charged for. the
transportation of the mail upon the rail road.
There ought to be somebody appointed to cor
rect the blunders of the cabinet officers before
they are published to the world.—lb.d.
The Hon. Jesse F. Cleveland. —We
announce with regret tiie unexpected death
of this amiable and excellent gentleman, for

The following letter tvlucli we copy from
the Richmond Enquirer, furnisliet: the authen
tic evidence the Courier spoke of, as to the
precise degree of kin between the Hon. John
Van Buren and the ex President. The tribe
is very extensive in New York. One of the
name was celebrated during the Presidential
canvass for burning Gen. Harrison in elfigj
—and the Whigs, whose settled faith it is,
that electioneering means lying, cried out that
it was a sun of the President, who had receiv
ed instruction from Washington to offer this
public indignity to Mr. Van Bureu’s compe
titor, Tne case was very much like the jnes
enu John Van Buren son of the ex President
lives in the city of Albany, where he quietly,
and we understand successfully practices
Law :
To the Editor of tfye Enquirer,
S.r: My attention has heen drawn to an
extract in your paper of tne llih ins', from
the Richmond Whig. It is in the following
words:
“We note in the vote in favor of the amend
ment of Mr. Adams, respecting Abolition pe
titions, the names of many Locofoc” members
—among others the name ot John Pan Buren
the son, we believe, of Martin . All tnese
worthies last year, when the game wrs to
make capital in the Souili for the little Kin
derhooker, voted the other wav. Out upon
such hypocrites!”—Tuesday’s Whig.
You state in regard thereto, that the Van
Buren, who is a member of C ingress, is not
the son o! the late President. In this vou are
right.
However proud l might be to be allied to a
person of such eminent abilities and exalted
chaiacter, a regard to truth would oblige me
to state, that I am not related to the iaie Pres
ident, Martin Van Buren, excepting perhaps
in a very remote degree, but more particularly
sc, when this erroneous circumstance is made
the occasion of an unjust attack upon him.
In regard, sir, to my vote, in common with
several of my democratic colleagues, upon the
question lelerred to, we ask our Democratic
brethern of the South not to mistake our
views.
‘Plie Democracy of the North, are now as
they always have been, with the South, on the
exciting and long agitated subject of Aboli
tionism. We are desirous of having it put at
rest, and therefore we ask that the question of
the right ol petition maybe separated fromthat
seeking the abolit.on of slavery, and that the
latter may not, by allying itself to the firmer,
(and which is held equally sacred hy the North
and South,) acquire additional power to do
evil.
Respectfully, your obedient servant.
