It wasn’t much any way.

The leader was re quired to pay $lO and costs ; the other two $5 and costs each for the privilege of representing their allegory.

Good rott the Deputy.—As the handsome deputy of Sheriff Smith was speaking of taking a man to prison, a few days since, he remarked to a friend, that he would much rather take a lady. “What, take a lady to jail 7” said his friend. “Oh, no, not take her to jail— I mean take her to court /” Important prom Washington— Ip Truk. —lt is reported that the President is about to send in a special message to Congress, proposing a compromise on the question of reconstruction.

If not they*will reject it.

A visit to his store will satisfy any one. No Bragging. —Mr. A. Hett says when you meet with professional Glaziers, you will find that most of them can do more or less bragging. For instance, each will say that he can do more than another. Mr. Hett says that he has put in at Mr. Goodrich’s Sash Factory as many as fourteen hun* dred lights in ten hours, with a little boy as an assistant. Every and any one who has glazing to be done —and done well and quickly—send for him a Any one doubting his ability to put in as many lights in the time above mentioned, can get such a bet as they may wish.

Opposition to Impeaching Ui« President. I*G“WaeuiNGTOR, Nov. 30MP. M. St. Andrew’s Day was celebrated ti - day with much spirit. The President appointed Thos. E. Haydon^Ukited. States District Attorney for Nevada. A protracted Cabinet meeting was held to-day, an some points on the Mes sage. (| n Beii. Lowry and Major ' Hilfyer, Alis sissippi Commissioners, sent here to ask the release of Jefferson Davis, left for home last evening, having become con vinced there was no prospect that their request would be complied with at pre sent. It is understood they will visit Mr. Davis on their return, and acquaint him with the result of their commission. The Radical caucus, proposed to be held to night, has been postponed until next week, as warm opposition was made by some prominent Republican members, to its being held, until there was a fuller attendance. To hold now, they contend, enable the few members in the city to block out the work of the session to suit th *ir own peculiar views, as wus done at the opening of the last session. The Republican temper is opposed to any attempt to impeach the President. The President continues to enjoy good health, and looks forward hopefully to the ultimate triumph of his patriotic and constitute ial plan by which peace and union can be only safely and securely maintained and per petuated. Many Southern members elect are arriving, and securing quarters for the winter. Marquis Montholon, French Minister, has information from his Government that twenty vessels were under orders to transport troops from Mexico. They sailed in two divisions. Montholon doubts not lbs last French troops will leave Mexico by the middle of January, and expresses surprise at the American press insisting that there is complication in national questions with France. He visited the State Department this morn ing, and there met the Mexican Minis ter, whom he greeted cordially. Mon tholon leaves for France on the 20th December. His successor will arrive on the loth of December. Mr. Ross has been elected head chief of the Cherokee Indians. Claims of loyal Choctaw and Chickasaw In dians investigated by Commissioners Race and Jackson amounted to nearly a million of dollars. The President’s Message was completed to-day. Ad vance copies forwarded to the press under seal, not to be broken till its deliv ery to Congress. About thirty, members of Congress arrived. None here regard the impeachment project as a matter seriously contemplated. From -Baltimore. Baltimore, Nov. 30—P. M. On Thursday night Philip Scheun was shot in the breast, and dangerously wounded, by James Wertomberger. The latter, with a party of three others, were charged by Schenn with cutting a set of harness belonging to him; and on bis remonstrating with them, was shot. Wertomberger, so far, has escaped arrest. An exciting four oared boat race, be tween the icrew of the Surline, of the Maryland club, and the Zephyr club, took place on Thanksgiving afternoon, on the Patapsco. The Zephyr was the winning boat. Noah H. Abbott, clerk of Messrs. James & Cos., lumber merchants, was accidently shot while engaged in the yard of the firm, by a man who was firing at a mark in his yard. A pistol ball passed through the fence of the yard, and striking Abbot entered his back and passed through the front part of his body', at the groin. It is understood that Lord Monck in tends to leave Quebec on Thursday next for Montreal, where a meeting of the Cabinet will be held on Friday, at which General Michael will be sworn in to act as Administrator during the ab sence of the Governor in Europe. His Excellency will take passage in the next Cunard Steamer, and it is likely he will be absent four or five months. His presence in England, while the subject of provincial confederation is being considered by the Imperial Gov ernment, will, it is thought, be of great advantage to the Provinces. FBOM HABTFOBD. Hartford, Nov. 30—P. M. Wm. M. Leach’s grocery store was broken into last night. Mr. Leach caught the robber in the act, and threw him to tho ground three times. The last time Mr. Leach was stabbed four times in the left side, one of the stabs reaching the left lung. In attempting to avoid the blows, Mr. Leach lost his hold on. the robber, and he escaped. Mr. Leach had a friend with him, but at the first sign of trouble he fled. - F£OM CAB AD A. Bal4 Autlclpittn^ Quebec, C. E, Nov. 30—F.

Boston, Nov. 30, 'Sixty-tit* Years Ago.— The New publishes tfe • f/llowjng r/miniscences from a venerable lady now living in Newark, New Jersey, but formerly a resident of Petersburg, Va.: “It ia sixty five years in June since I was received into full communion with the Methodist Church. When we met then** Methodists we were social, and £i4v«>t wait to be Introduced. We shoidrtends in a friendly way, and con versed together on experimental re ligion. This was all new to mb, for I had never been accustomed to such social intercourse in the church in which I was educated. The Methedists were very plain in their address and appear ance. The ministers lived in a very plain way. Mr. Ostrander lived in a small story and a half house in Green wich street, with only two rooms on a floor, and they had their bed in the front room in which we used to meet for class. Mr. McClaskey lived in a small house attached to the John street church. He c >uld enter the church by a side door from liis own dwelling, without going but doors. I do not know that one of the members of that time is living now. Recently Abraham Shotwell and his wife have passed away, and I think they were the last of those who belonged to the church at that time. Mr. Shotwell was then a merchant in Chatham street, and hts residence was on Greenwich street.” Bbigham Young’s Daughter an Actress.— The “Hernandez Troupe of Selected Juvenile Talent” are to appear in Savannah shortly. In their adver vertisement, in the Daily Advertiser, we find the following notice: “This young Company has just re tured to the States, after five years’ ab sence, having passed over the plains under the protection of General Conner 1 U. S. Ag and having met with unbound ed success, both in California and Salt Lake, playing, in the latter place sixty nights to a full attendance nightly, and only compelled to leave by having in duced a daughter of Brigham Young to accompany them, which was accom plished under the direction and guid ance of General Conner. Unexpected Church Incident In a late number of the Richmond Exami ner, we find the annexed: On Sunday night, the 25th ult., a la ly was taken suddenly ill in one of out churches, and was carried out by her friends, who at ouce set to work bathing her head aud using other means of restoration ; but she told them she desired to be taken to some quiet place, as none of their remedies would do her any good. Her request was forthwith complied with, and she was conveyed to a room in the rear of the minister’s desk, where she presently gave birth to a fine child. This incident, from its novelty, gave rise to much gossip, but it may be considered a good omen in the earlv history of the little stranger. At last accounts, mother and child were both doing well.

COTTON—The market is exceedingly dull, and prices are from f to 1 cent off, from yesterday’s quotations. Messrs. E. M. Bruce A Cos. have favored us with W. C. Watts & Co.’s Liverpool Cot ton Circular, from which wo extract tho following: The prominent causes of the small busi ness and decline were tho unfavorable state of trade in tho manufacturing districts, froe receipts at and accumulation of stock in the American ports, and declining prices both early in New York and the Ea t India mar kets. In reference to trade in the manufac turing districts, we may remark that early last month, before there was any talk about a resort to short time, the consumption of Cotton in the United Kingdom had risen to about 50,000 bules per week. In our report of the 10th ultimo, we gave it as our opin ion that unloss tho demand for goods in creased, production would soon be lessened. The “short time” movement on tho part of producers, to which wo have referred in each of our reports since 26th ultimo, has been gradually increasing, hut so far as we can learn, the decrease in the consumption of Cotton from this cause does not at present exceed 4,000, aud at the outside 0,000, bales per week on the maximum poiut reached, and this almost exclusively of Surats and other short-stapled descriptions. It is not improbable this movement may yet extend some further, as the demand for goods and yarns does not yet appear equal to produc tion. The recent financial panic so weak ened and destroyed the credit of firms en gaged in tho East India trado, that, not withstanding money is now cheap and abundant, aud likely to continue so for some time to eomo, shippers of goods find it difficult, if not impossible, to obtain their usual Banking facilities. The consequence is, that whilst goods are accumulating at Manchester, distant markets are being less freely supplied tbau they otherw.se oould be. This condition of trade will eventually work its own cure, but in the meantime the demand for goods aud prices current will he governed almost entirely by the prioo of the raw matorial in this market. This latter point turns mainly upon the American ad vices aud the probable outturn of the erop. We may here remark that our information leads us to think that manufacturers and spinners suppose a yield of two to two and a half million bales not only possible, hut probable, and this impression has been strengthened by the course of the American markets.
