T«r» CHtaao* On Monday wight, about If Vtlock, • fearful tragedy occurred at the Race Tieek, new this City, resulting in the death of Mr. Wu. C. Meiqtger end Inquest, that u barbecue end picnic l«d ben given at the Race Truck, at whict Mr. Reed was in attendance with a number of friend*. After dark a convivial party vtth colleCletfat the bar room attached to tha premise*, when Mr. Reed and e young man named Meister were ongaged in a friendly scuflta. Mr. Meister became offended aad uaetl som* offensive language. Mr. Reed, #(o was under the influence of liquor, was incensed at &e language used by Mr. Meister, and Mr. Meiutier •tapped ppm the moat friendly manner lo preeenl any difficulty—asking Mr. Reed not to mind whet Mr. Meister had said. Mr. Reed, who had become still more enraged by the efforts to restore quiet, deliberately levelled his pistol at Mr. Meitnxer, end shot him—the ball entering the heart, and causing almost instant death. Mr. Meintxer’s brother, who was behind the counter, seized n double-barrelled gun, and immediately shot Mr. Reed—4h* load taking effect in the side. Mr. Reed started out, say ing that he was shot, and made his way to the house ot Mr. Hutto, who lives near the Race Track, where he became prostrated from a loss of hlaind, and was soon taken in charge by his friends, who brought him to his residence, where he lingered in great agony until half past nine this morning, when he died. The Coroner was summoned at an early hour on yesterday morning to hold an inquest on the body of Mr. Meintzer, and a verdict of murder at the hands of Jerry Reed was returned. Yesterday forenoon, an inquest whs held over the body of Mr. Reed, and the verdict was that he came to his death from a gunshot wound, at the hands of Wm. C. Meintzer. Mr. Meintzer signified his willingness to answer to the authorities for his act— and it is stated that an examination will be held to-day. It is also said that Mr. Reed stated before his death, that the conduct of Mr. Meiutzer was justifi able, aud it is*so regarded by the entire community. This is one of the most shocking trsg edies that has ever occurred in this community. Mr. Reed was a merchant on Broad street, and was widely known, aud highly esteemed. He had been a member of the City Council, and was spoken of for the next term if an elec tion had been held. He was a peacea ble, intelligent, and useful citizen ; and it was only when under the influence of liquor, that he was passionate and reckless. We are not aware that he was addicted to intemperance, but it was a convivial occasion, in the midst of friends, when the demon of the wine cap nerved his arm to the fatal deed, trom which, in a cool moment, every emotion of his nature would have revelled. Mr. Meintzer was a young man .of great popularity, especially among our German citizens, and fell a victim to a manly effort to prevent others from doing or receiving injury. He was a step son of Mr. Straub, who was the lessee of the Race Track, and the two brothers were in charge of the property, it, therefore, became his duty to pre serve oidvr in the premises. The sum mary and fearful mode in which his death was avenged, was the natural impulse of one who confronted the slayer of his brother. The whole affair has created a pro found sensation of regret, and of sym pathy for the friends of all the parties to the terrible tragedy. A funeral notice announcing the burial ot Mr. Reed, by the Masonic fraternity, appears in another column. Philanthropy. Among the most practical of human itarians may be classed our enterprising friend, Dr. Wm. H. Tutt. to whom we are indebted for sundry imbibations of the nectar that flows from his soda foun tain. He not only takes the trouolous times coolly, but uses his influence to keep his customers in the same condi tion. The Southern Ex pros Comp any.

The rate of diaeoußt by the Bank of England remained 3 per cent.; the bullion had de oreased A118,29* for this week, und footed up £10,588,838. The redaetion in Liverpool quotations, and the glffomy acounts by eable from that market, have helped depress the staple here, white the failures of a well known factor aod a leading broker of this city have named more or loss alarm aud distrust. What demand has exiaied has been almost exclusively for oxporta; speculators and spinners taking very little. With the of Cotton mostly in request have been, -e reported last week, Low Middling and Middlings, the extreme grades demand of this character, the styles being neglected. Advices from Liverpool report the ezistonoe of an exoess of low grade American in this market, while good quali ties are enmporatively scarce. This news has caused our English buyers to be very careful in their seleotion of Cottooa, and the difference in price between Middling and the lower grades if daily blooming greater. The decline in Liverpool of “long Cottons’’ would have a depressing influence on the market here, it there existed any demand. Holders and buyers have been at a Stand off during the last two days of the week, neither feeling assn red where exactly the market was, and both seeming to prefer awaiiing the developments of events; some lots, however, held on slender margin, have been forced off at ruinous rates. The “ bears” have been hammering the market with all sorts of rumors, starting stories of failures, suspensions, etc , both of Liverpool and American hnnses. These stories have, however, been but little heeded, nud even the absolute failures which have occurred have not been credited until thoroughly sustained by facts. Gbnkral Remarks.—As we intimated last week, the question of receipts has ceased to be regarded with any interest, the American crop being pretty generally put .down for 1,800,008 at least. The ques tion of trade is mostly considered, and on this point every one agrees-tbat manufac turers last year over produced and glutted all markets, both domestic and foreign, with goods The heavy production of the early part of the present year, added to the old stock, weighed heavily oh the home ma'ket of Manchester, and this burthen was in no wise lifted by heavy sbipinoots to China and India on manufacturer’s account, these markets become thus still more glutted. The dullness of goidsin this country has likewise been severely felt; in some In stances selling at less than cost of production, white those from foreign looms have been slaughtered through the auction rooms at less oftentimes in currency than the gold dutv exacted by ourso called Proteoiive Tar iff. We have gone into the consideration of trade thus fully, as the recent decline, or rather steady fall from 15d in January can only be accounted for in two ways : one that it is the state of trade, the other that it has beeu the price which hue caaeeii the fall. By last mail advices from Liverpool we know that the stock on the spot then was only some 40,000 bales greater than at same time last year, while the supply at sea was 260,000 hales less than last year ; thus wo seu that the stock for the present aod im mediate future is really some 220,000 hales less thorn last year : at that time money was stringent at 6 per cent., and at last dates very easy at3 per cent. Last year Middling Uplands were worth lSd.; at last mail dates 12$. This time last year the English panic was Gounneucing, and Europe stood aghast at the prospects of a general Eu ropean war; now to be sure a war cloud is on the European horizon, but no one ascribes to this cause the fall of cotton to the lowest point reached since our war. Ir is on these accounts that many people urge that although trade has been the direct cause of toe fall, a natural shrinkayc in cot ton toward old prices was inevitable, and that this shrinkage took place as soon as dull trade gave the opportunity. The ag gregate of the out turn us the crops of all the cotton countries for last year equaled or exceeded any American crop ever raised, yet the average price of Middlings for the year was at least .double the old range. These ideas are gaining strength aruoDg the merchants of England, and are offered by them as the reason of tho decline in the fleecy staple. At ail events the fact of the decline is positive, and hut two causes can be assigned for the samo. Wo have endeavored to give them both clearly anti without ptejudice, leaving our friends to draw their own conclusions. In this con nection it is not amiss to remark that the fact is well established that Manchester is equally well satisfied with Indian as Amer ican cotton at the difference in price; and that Indian cotton has been, and no doubt can be agaiu, raised and sold in Bombay at' 3se. without loss to the producer- We stated this fact once before while urging the abo lition of the cotton tax as holdiug out pre miums to other countries to raise cotton. That next year’s crop in all countries will be curtailed by the present decline, if it continues, there is no room fur doubt; as planters will hare lost the incentive of ex traordinary prices, and devote more land to the production of brendsluffs, etc.; and if cotton should fall to a price below the abso lute cost of raising it au advance from that price would bo speedy, for it is almost a universal iaw that any staple article which by reason of excessive supply sells one sea son below the cost us production will sell the following season above it. Importance of Learning a Trade. An exchange well observes that in times of commercial panic or stagna tion, there ure always multitudes of young men thrown out of clerkships and other offices, and reduced to distress for want of some employment. They are acquainted with no particular tftde or calling, because they set out with the idea of making money by faster and less laborious methods than the paths of steady toil appeared to promise. If these young men had first made them selves thoroughly acquainted with any one calling, even though they did not intend to follow it up, it would always afford them a support to fall back upon in case of necessity.

FROM GREAT BRITAIN. London, April 23. Peace between France and Prussia is almost despaired of. Prussia is quietly arming, • preparing for the expected shock of arms. The warlike aspect of things caused considerable alarm on the London stock exchange. The ten dency of affairs is towards a financial j panic. Gladstone is much censured by mem bers of the Liberal party, and the friends of the Libernl cause, for what they term his mismanagement of the reform movement FROM "FRANCE. Paris, April 23. . It is stated on very good aathoritjfc. that Napoleon is endeavoring to pur chase arms in the United States. The chances apparently favor war on the Luxemburg question.
