New Yokk, June 1,1868. Cotton.—The business of the past month has been small, and especially unsatisfactory to factors. The total sales of the month foot up less than 50,000 bales, against over 155,000 bales in April, while the receipts at this port from all points are only 19,638 bales, against 37,807 in April. This shows that the Cotton season is rapidly drawing to a close; and taking the decrease of receipts at all the ports for the last four weeks into consideration, we may reason ably estimate the remainder to come into market by the Ist of Beptemher, at not, over 50,000 bales. If we are correct in this estimate, the total supplies from the crop of 1867 will fall nearly 135,000 hales short of the long es tablished estimate of 2Jr millions. The hopes of many holders have been sadly disappointed. The long expected and wished fur limit of 35c. for middlings has not been reached ; and viewing the situation with its present surroundings, we very much fear it will not be reached this season. To those who look only to th£ question of supply and demand, the course of the market during the past month presents anomaous features. But other matters must tie considered to account for the dull and depressed state of the market. While it is true thaL tile supplies of Cotton in sight are considerably less than a year ago, and that the South is nearly drained of her stocks, it must he remembered that tin: season lor manufactured goods has closed, and there re main more than sufficient stocks in first hands to supply the very limited demand. Spinners are, therefore, not disposed to lay in supplies of the raw material beyond their immediate wants (which are insignificant), preferring the risk ol higher prices as the season advances, to overstocking themselves at present rates in face of certain loss. It will lie seen, in this connection, that our home spinners, during the whole month, took less than 16,000 hales, while the consumption of American Cotton at Liverpool lias been greatly curtailed, as in out last circular we intimated it would lie. And, although the amount of Cotton afloat lor Great Britain, as well as the stock in Liverpool, are considerably less than last year at this date, they are sufficient to supply all prospective de mands till the beginning ot another commer cial year. On the Ist of .June, 1867, Liverpool had 811,- 000 bales in port and quoted middling uplands at 11%d., while our market was 27%. To-day Liverpool lias 620,000 bales, and quotations while our market is 31. A year ago pri ces on both sides were relatively about right. Now they are wide apart, this market having the advantage of fully 2 cents It will, there fore, be seen that wc have been tor sometime and still are independent ot the foreign mar kets, and prices have been kept op on this side only by the scarcity of supplies. This market opened dull, and nominal on the Ist of May at 32% for middlings, and lor the next three days the outside figure of the month was 33. On the 6tb it weakened, and with oc casioned slight fluctuations, ruled generally steady, but dull ali the month, except on the. 12th, when the continued drooping condition of Liverpool created a semi-panic among some, holders, who, by forcing their stocks, partially broke down the market for the time. The market closed on Saturday (30th) quiet and nominal at our appended quotations. Holders have all through the month (with the exception above mentioned) exhibited firm ness in their views, especially on Ihe better grades, which are scarce, and the hulk of the sales has been of the lower .jbalUies, the de mand for which has been extremely light. We learn from our Southern correspondents that the new crop is much later than usual, the planting having beeu greatly retarded hv the cool and wet weather which prevailed nearly the whole month ; but with favorable weather in future uo danger to the plant is'apprehended on this account.

This is considered about “5 cents above the market price.— Home Courirr. The weather continues lavorable to the grow ing crops. Wheat, now about ready (orliarvest iug where the land has been prepared, is repre sented to be very fine. Otherwise, it is said to be poor. The growing crops of oats, corn and cotton, far and near, are reported to b.s doing finely.— West Point (Ga .) Observer.

Major Sawyers lias traveled extensively through the Eastern part of Ihe State, and has bad tj good opportunity to judge of the present crop. | Knoxville. Pu ss ,y Herald. The Crops. —in this county (Dougherty) the f 0,U,0u prospects thus far are very good indeed. Coro, esaqciailv that planted early, is suffering a goad deal frojnr drought. The out crop is flue. This is not sjippoged to be a wheat coun try, and therefore there is hut iUtb= land devo ted to this crop. 1 We learn front a gentleman who grow.-, wbea* extensively in Merriwether county, that the crops in that county, especially his otvn, are yery fine.— Albany News. The Coops in Frederick County, Md.— Accounts fropi aB parts of the county agree that the prospects tar a bountiful harvest were never better. The wheat, rye ;;ud oats are look ing line and promise a heavy yield. The corn is also looking well, notwithstanding th.e con tinned wet weather which threw our tanners behind with their spring work, and it the fall is favorable the yield will be good. The truit crop, however, in this section, w ill not turn out as well as expected. We understand that the apples have been injnred by the wet weather, also the apricots and peaches, but still the crop will be quite c-hupdant if it* sutlers no further detriment. — Examiner. The Crops. —We learn from farmers 0/ .this aud sections ol Nash, Edgecombe anil Wayne counties, that the prospect for a fair wheat aud corn crop is now very good. Asa general thing the stand ot cotton is better than that of sriv previous season since the war; but on pome lew farms it is reported as “dying out.” On the wnffic. the crop prospect in this section is much better than ;t was last, season.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. Congressional. Washington, June 6. Senate.—Mr. Gorham was sworn in as Sec retary. The otnnibuß admission bill was resumed. The amendment; including Alabama was discussed all day. Mr. Morton said he had changed his mind about the danger of the de feat. of the bill by including Alabama, and should vote lor the amendment. The debate was scattering and mostly confined to the record of opposing Senators'on negro capacity. With out a vote on the amendment, the Senate adopted the conference report regarding Ar kansas, auu after executive session adjourned. House. —After unimportant business the tax bill was resumed and considerable progress made, but the attendance was slim and all the important points were held in rbeyanee. The Conference Committee on Arkansas re ported, but. on a motion to table the report no quorum voted and the House adjourned to Monday. W ashington. ■Washington, June 6—Noon. The nouse last night reached the 22d section of the, tax bill, with innumerable amendments aud protests. In executive session the Senate rejected Mc- Clellan as Minister to England, and continued Alfred T. Lacy, Collector ot the first revenue district of Louisiana. The Conference Committee on Arkansas agreed to the original House bill, with the ad ditional stipulation that auy alteration in said constitution prospective in its effects may be made in regaid to the time and place of resi dence of voters. The conference report on the Arkansas ad mission will certainly be adopted in the House on Monday. But little interest is taken in the tax bill, from positive opinion that it will not pass this ses sion, though a special hill reducing the whisky and modifying the tobacco tax is regarded as certain. Mr. Scheuck’s bill, which will be regarded as a complete machine —one section depending upon another—and inoperative unless adopted as a whole, is already torn to pieces. Its con sideration will probably end by striking out the enacting clause. The funding of the seven-thirties delays the debt statement. It is stated it will show a re duction of seven millions. Customs for week ending 30th nearly $2,000,- 000. The Corruption Committee don’t seem dis posed to disturb Woolley iu Ids prison. Gorham announced lie would make no changes in Hie Secretary’s office.

This morning’s Bepublican contains a proc lamation by the Board of Registration, elected by the late convention, which takes direct is sue with the district commander’s proclama tion, and quotes the ordinance creating it and recites that the district commander has failed to recognize the requirements of the new con stitution, which provides that all civil officers elected shall enter upon the discharge ot their duties on the second Monday after the return of the election is officially promulgated, or as soon as qualified according to law ; also, that the. General Assembly hold their first session in New Orleans on the third Monday alter the official promulgation aforesaid; that the failure to inaugurate (State officers as above provided, would prevent the legal existence of the Gen eral Assembly, the. present acting government being constitutionally unable to approve any act of said General Assembly and without the approval of the Government, being impossible for any legislative enactment to become a law, and thus effectually prevent reconstruction in accordance with the laws of Congress; that the Commanding General is not above the hxw» <>t Congress nor above the convention which framed the constitution, and concludes as fol lows : Whereas, The reconstruction laws ful ly empowered the constitutional conven tion to govern all matters of detail in regard to the inauguration of the new govern ment authorized by Congress; and whereas, said Constitutional Convention has delegated full powers in the framers to the Board which is the legal representative of said con vention.
