Besides, the high prices and great scarcity of money has induced early shipments: There, can be no possible-doubt of the extreme shortness of the crop, and I do not believe the crop will exceed eighteen thousand bales. • With such facts before ns, I.do not think planters need to fear the low prices of last year. If they will hold their cotton and ask a big price for it, they will eventually ob tain it.

COMMISSION MIERpHANTS Savannah, Ga~ hawk was admirably executed; it was the, work of a man of genius in his way—Matt Morgan,‘one of the principal scene-painters, in Covent Garden Theatre. The paper, - which had not then and has not since any lit erary merit whatever, became celebrated and. popular in a moment People were, scandal- : ized, shocked, amused, aroused. Tomahawk’s cartoon had, in fact, illustrated what every body had been talking about wondering at and grumbling over. Tins is the scandal about Queen Victoria: In her personal service, her most constant and close attendont is a' Scotch groom, or gillie, named John Brown. He rides on the box of her carriage, he hands her in, he? hands her out, he cloaks her, he shawls her, opens doors for her, is always near her. Popular rumor avers that he sleeps or a rug outside her bedroom door; and, although this certainly is not his habit, it is beyond doubt that be lias done so occasionally while the Queen was travelling. He has been so i closely, indeed, in attendance on 'the Queen that unquestionably there might be grave cause for scandle .were be a Rizzio or a Po temkin. Take further into consideration the fact that all West End tradesmen, the dress makers, milliners, cooks and lackey’s abso lutely detest Queen Victoria , because of the dullness created by her long retirement; and that it has become an article of faith with all" that class that the depression of trade and ; even the financial collapse of England are to be directly - attributed to the Queen’s pro- traeted and inconvenient seclusion, is it won derful, then, that the scandal was eagerly ! and delightedly spread.? In fact people busily spread it who did not in their hearts believe it; and before long it became the universal talk —a whisper of London: The Queen began to be spoken of in a slang phrase-as “Mrs. Brown.” Punch one day published under the head of “Court News” the announcement : that “Mrs. John Brown walked on' the' slopes yesterday.” Great mirth was created once by an old jumble of names in a London daily paper, which, giving a report of some popular demonstration, saialh^proceedings closed with the' Ringing of .“God Save the Queen and John Brown”— the fact meant to be conveyed being'that the meeting Bang .that famouB hymn itd the memory of- thfe Harper’s Ferry fanatic.— Things went so -far that the Oueen, in her nJeeat" book,~oistmilly -1 irfse'rtfeft 1 ‘t^pStefc explaining- the position. of.-John Brown’ in liked and believed it*none the dess because of this well meant attompt at explanation:; What is the exact trnUi in all this?

Chableston, Novendoer 11.—The result of the municipal election was announced this afternoon amid great excitement.

The same "iniiy be said of its statements of the situation ■origi nating in this country. The State Department has no information regarding the reported fillibnStering move ments on Cuba. The New York Herald publishes seven col umns of correspondence between John H. Gilmer and the revenue officials, regarding whiskey frauds. A letter from Gilmer to Mc Culloch, dated November 9th, closes' thus : “ Without giving other reasons, sir, I respect fully invoke your official condemnation of the act and all parties connected with it. The : badges of fraud cluster around every cironm- stanee, and disclose a guilty motive and con-; currence of crime in every move made by the j parties; and they involve the Commissioner, the Collector and the. Assessor. Let the law: be enforced. It stands full armed for.its vin dication, and I have aright to invoke its ad~ ministrative and penal enforcement, though the Commissioner has used every appliance to destroy my. influence and remove the au thorized capacity to investigate and Teporton such matters: Though not an officer of thb government, I feel, as an American citizen, authorized to expose and hold up to official; executive and popular condemnation, snch a flagrant and palpable violation of official duties.

About? 160,000 bales of cotton have been received at this port, against about 40,000 last year.

Thus, if ; we receive this season 800,000 bales, the .money value-will exceed that ot the twomil-. lions which came to our city in tho ctnfe hedtroi times.
