Tbe boat had been in tbe trade to long

It makes me recall tbe case of the
"Blue Gooee," that dropped her wheel
opposite Madison, while no one knew
of the loae ontll the boat tried to
"round her to" at the Louisville wharf.
A remarkable event, however, was that
of the "Tlnnls McGutnnls." She sank
In elshtv feet of water at "Big Bear," the
npper worki floating off, tbe bull part
ing from the cabin with ao little noise
and jtr that tbe pilota changed watches
twice, exerting their fullest skill, and
ringing bells and caretul move

Tbe New York Bulletin, In its fluan-

of tbe fifty millions of coin to the Gov

The price waa IK per cent, blgber tbaa

Tbe latest clrcultr from

Smith, Edwards & Co., ot Liverpool,
says: "Tbe visible supply for Englaud
it s-.ill 350.00J balet below last jear,
and tplnnert hold nothing. We tee no
prospect of this being made up. If the
American crop turut out 4,800,000 we
may get 150 000 more for tbe rest of
tbe teaaon, bat Bombay It not likely
to give any excess." These flguret
though correct, should prove but a
small morsel of comlort to the "bull.''
inaamuch at they have been known all
along, and in tbe very face of the (w
of so large a deficiency, prices have
tteadily declined during the greater
part of tbe eeaaon. Statistical facta
prove nothing when counterbalanced
by tbe miserable stale of trade which
has ruled, and Is ruling all over :he
world. Tbat too much cotton has been
made for tbe present rrqulremente ol
trade, is evidenced by tbe almost per
fect tttgnaiien which exists in all tbe
leading markets of the coutinent and

A much needed Improvement in tbe
Southern portion of the city has re
cently been mads by the chain-gang,
onder the skillful direction of Captain
Tuobey. The street, which wat former
ly known at Cedar street, running from
tbe river bank to tbe VYarrenton road,
bat been extended through the lands of
Mr. John A. Klein and Judge Speed
to Marshall street The city, in accept
ing the donation of land from Mr.
Klein, at his suggestion, named the ex
tended street after Judge Speed. Al
derman Doll, Chairman of the Street
Committee, gave orders for tbe Imme
diate opening of tbe street in compli
ance with tbe resolution of the Bjard
of Mayor and Aldermen, but the work
baa been delayed by various causes,
nntil recently, when Captain Tuo
bey took it in hand, and with
about twenty or thirty idle, viciout
vagrants, who are serving various
terms in the work-house for petty
misdemeanors, put the work through
in twenty-one working days. Uuder
tbe old rule in Vicksburg, the cost of
this improvoment would have mount
ed up luto the thousands, while under
the Street Committee and Capt. Tuo
hey's direction the total cott will not
exceed one hundred dollars. We un
derstand that tbe intention is to widen
tbe street to itt full width, sixty feet,
as rapidly as tbe force can do It with
out neglecting tbe repairs and work up
on other streets, and that stent are be
ing taken which will insure its exten
sion through to Cherry street

Oub Jowiah citizens are now cele
brating the Passover (Pesach, Pascha)
tbe nrstand greatest of the tbiee an
nual feastt (Regalim) Instituted by
Motet, at which it was Incumbent on
every male Israelite to make a pilgrim
age to the noose or tbe Lord, it was
celebratod on the anniversary of the
exodus from Efvpt, 1. e. on tbe 14th
of Niiaro, otherwise called Ablb, the
period of the first full moon In the
Spring, and laated eight days. In com
memoratien of the great events con
nected with the liberation of tbe peo
pie, It was ordained that onleaveued
breal only should be eaten during tbls
festive period, whence it also bore tbe
name of Cbag Hamoztath (Feast of
Unleavened Bread), and further, tbat a
lamb one year old and free from all
blemish, routed whole, together with
bitter herbs, should form tbe meal in
every bouse on the eve of the feast.
Prayers and thanksgiving, all with a
reference to the redemption from bond
age, accompanied the repast, at which
the members of tbe family or families
who bad joined in the purchase of the
lamb, bad to appear In traveling garb.
At a later period a certain number of
cups of a cer'aiu red wine were toper
added to tbls meal, to which, as Its
special ceremooles and the order of its
benediction were fixed, tbe name Leder
(arrangement) was given. Tbe name
of Passover was more strictly limited
to the first day, In which the Paschal
lamb wss entirely consumed, fie re
serving of tny part of it to tbo next day
being expressly forbidden (Ex. xii, 10),
and the name "Feast of Unleavened
Bread" belonged rather to the remain
ing days on which other animal food
was eaten ; but tbe names were often
nsed indiscriminately. This Feast bo-
gen yesterday at 7 p.m., and is ob
served by all pious Jews, whose placet
ot business will be closed to-day.
