“Come ye sinners poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore.
Judging from the laments of the poor
stricken Tory press, and more especially
from the moans and dying groans of our
up the street “Governor cast of the Oconee,”
we are led to suppose that our duty is to
invite such stricken sinners up to the altar
of their country, that they may lay down
their rebellious spirits and receive such con
solation as only can be given by a strict
observance of the law, especially Order
No. 51.

It is very strange, and certainly suicidal,
for business men to act as they do in this
city and elsewhere, we suppose—in fact
know. But it seems that the insanity of
such a course is like the old woman’s
religion and her measles—it goes through
whole families. Now, we do not care a
single markee or centime about this thing,
but we might do our friends, perhaps, a
service, who reside in the country, and who
come to this city to trade and spend their
money, by telling them that the best
treatment and the best bargains arc to be
had only of thoso parties who have the
independence of character to advertise
their goods where they please, despite the
contemptible puppyism that pervades so
ciety to such an extent; and that when
they come here to buy goods of any kind,
the places to get them right is to buy only
of such parties, but we shall for- the
present not do so. The present state of
affairs must, however, alter very much to
prevent us from doing our duty in this
matter, as wc shall most assuredly perform
it when we consider the time come to do
so. Selah!
A Huge Cityo-London Nowhere.
Efforts are making to create a power
ful city “over in New Jersey.” Tho project
is thus capitally explained in tke World:
This city is at last threatened with a for
midable rival. Across the river, what is now
Hudson county, in New Jersey, is asking to
be a city extending from Bergen Point to
Bull’s Ferry, from Hudson to tbe Hadken
saelt and, including all the territory within
its limits, it proposes merging into a grand
metropolis Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehaw
ken, Hudson Bergen, Uuion City,
Guttemburg, Bull’s Ferry, Communipaw,
and other places, about twenty in all, in
cluding a present population of 120,000.
This is more than mere talk. Last week the
Board of Chosen Freeholders, corres
ponding to our Supervisors, appointed
a committee of eight, with Mr. Platt at the
head, to urge this matter upon the New
Jersey Legislature. The apparent object of
this movement is, that while the interests of
all these places are identical, they are ham
pered -by conflicting local boards. They
want common roads, lo open new streets,
water and gas works, and claim that a con
centration of their interests under one mu
nicipal control will give tlie entire community
what is wanted. As it is, it is complained
that no road “leads anyvUierewhat is
begun is unfinished for want of the consent
of cooperation of a conflicting corporation
or rival interest the new municipality with
its enlarged boundaries and powers (and
increased taxes) is to do everything. Rumor
already fixes a name for our rival ; it is to
be “New Jersey City.” So great an enter
prise ought to be better christened, and with
a more original name; but with the mag
nificent water front, the location, the facili
ties, and the inducements, New Jersey City
or some other city is sure to spring up oil
the shore opposite to New York, and New
York should look to it that other and vaster
interests do not follow the Erie road and the
steamships and other enterprises which are
now centering on that side of the Hudson.

Liverpool advices, throwing the price below 12d.,

[From the Circular ot Win. Bryco A Cos.
IVeiv York Cotton Iteviexv.
New York, April 3, 1868.
Concerning receipts, the predictions of a per
pendicular falling off seem to be realized most
completely, and those whoso estimates ranged in
the neighborhood of two aud three quarter mil
lions are wriggling out their positions with the
best grace possible. We still maintain our
Christmas estimate of 2,350,000 halos, although
the most of the trade seem to think two millions
and a quarter will cover tho crop. Merely look
ing at the amount now in and what promises to
come forward, even two and a quarter millions
seems a full figure, but largo corrections will
have to ho added at the end of tho season .to
account for tho immense amount of cotton which
the railroads from tho Southwest have carried
direct to our manufacturing towns.
Concerning the prospects of prices, we have
nothing to add to the views expressed in our
late Circulars, that consumption most be checked
before tbo riso will ceaso. Letters by tho last
packet refor to tho fact that Manchester was
talking of “short time,” but if we can form
any opinion from tho business advised by cablo
for the past week, the idea of short time seems
to havo been dismissed for tho present at least.
The enormous contracts made early in tuo year
have kept Manchester employed to the full
extent of her ability; but at what rates fheso
contracts (now rapidly maturing) will be re
newed is a difficult question. Yet it always has
been tho case that Manchester has continued
active as long as Liverpool kept advancing, and
only when the latter market pausod have spin
ners realized that cotton bought, spun, and sold
at current ra'es for the raw material and yarn
paid a loss. This fact seems well understood,
and Manchester letters express great fears of
the power of tho Liverpool speculators, and the
point to which they can force prices if they
wish ; for the ease in money, and tho largo
profits of the season’s business, as well as the
manner in which “cotton to arrive” is man
aged, gives speculation almost boundless power
over the small stock now in Liverpool, or indeed
in sight.
The Bombay shipments for the next two
months, and the promise of our crop, will no
doubt guide the movements of tho speculators in
Liverpool to a great extent, and the fresh
memories of how easily cotton declines from
high figures may check any attempt to advance
quotations to the point where possibly they
might be forced.
Concerning next crop the general tenor of
advices goes to show that efforts arc being made
to plant about as much as last year, yet from
every section the fact is confirmed that the crop
cannot bo made without assistance and capital
from this point, and from present appearances
it does not seem likely that these aids will bo
forthcoming. Nevertheless, present prices will
stimulate production prodigiously, not only here
but everywhere, and an abundance of cotton
next year seems assured.
