Tlie show business now seems to run to consolidations, in which the aim is to include the old* 1 style circus,. menageries, museums uud an aggregation of shows exceeding the small affairs ' of a few years ago as much as can bo imagined. In carryingwfCtots plan Mr. Cole did not stop with merely one or two collections but gathered in at once the Great New-York t.'ircus, Trained Animals, &v.; that of the famous New Orleans Menagerie, Museum, &c., and colossal aggregation of the World's Wonder Exhibition, mussed in one grand city of tents of monster proportions. In order to* keep pace with the times Mr. Cole has reduced his price of admission for aduits to 61) cents; children under 0 years of age, 25 cents.

Naturally, a street procession of an exhibition like this is sutlicient to attract i.o small attention of itself. The parade yesterday more than justified all that has been said of the shew. The chariots and splendifi^"fidKiuines, with all t ie paraphernalia of a circus, were of the most elaborate and costly description ; but the success of the affair is as much owing to the artistic taste of the proprietor as the lavish expense which he has entered into. The performance in the tents was fully worthy of the parade in public. The zoological departments were fully represented. > The rare wild beasts, birds and reptiles, the trained animals, magnificent specimens of oceanic lions in the sub-aquatic mansions, mado up a monster exhibition which would go far to i disprove the late A.

An oriental traveller describes this busy scene, witnessed on historic shores: 'Our steamer landed on a beach which was the port of Autioch, where the disciples were tir-jt called Christiau-i. There was no town at the water's edge, no people, no wharf. The passengers and I lie merchandise were put ashore in lighters, which rati up into the sand, A troop of camels, with their drivers, lay on the beach, ready to transfer the goods into the interior. Among the articles landed were boxes marked *Dtt. J. C. Ay Kit&Co., Lowki.i., Mass., U. 8. A.,' showing that they contained medicines and whence they came. These with other goods were hoisted on the t,icks. "camels, for transportation to Autioch.

We don't intend to apologize for making a show hill ol' our first page this week. It is the higgist cash joh we have had for many months, and cash is so awful scarce with us that we put in the pictures for it. If the Circus shows one-half it advertises, it will he a grand affair, and worth at least the small sum of GO cents to see. The Proprietor, Mr. Cole, says: "It is a Circus, Menagerie, Museum.

After the first or second ^ picking of cotton, you can, with three scooter Ui furrows to the row, sow your wheat; the tread- di ing in the after picking, will make it tiller well, and you may almost be sure of a good yield, if ^ the land is good and adapted to wheat. m Wheat should never be covered deep.

The market has opened low and ol dull. The necessities of the Planter have forced p him to part with his crop, or part of it, at least, at very low figures. It is uow in the ftauds of ^ your good friends the cotton Brokers and 'j speculators, who have been sorrowing over the it country, talking about hard times, the st.ringancy of the money market, the big crop in the West, and the supply of India, Kgypt, Brazil '' and all the world. ^ Simple minded people can't understand where ir all the money has so suddenly gone to. A few s, months ago the Banks and Bankers complained of a plethora of Greenbacks. .Money could not ' be loaned out. Some of tliu Banks even reduced h their capital. All this talk about tlio scarcity tl of money is a humbug. It is unfortunately in jt the u ii ii > ihe crop and make money out of it. The failures i of (lie crop West or South will make very little p difference to the average planter. He is under a n lien, and his hands tied hard and fast?he is |, obliged to sell, liven should he hold, storage, insurance, freight, stealage, patohing and sum- c pling, will reduce his profits to minus. The j, Hanks, by extending or contracting their dis- |, counts, can make money plenty or scarce, at (< pleasure. .Speculators, brokers, capitalists and <] spinners, arc all in the same ring vs. the 1M inter. And with nil that the Planter has the game in his own hand, if lie will play it right. Keep out of debt, raise your own supplies, and you will soon have it in your power to fix the n price of your own labor, (let rid of middle ii ineu, bankers, brokers, factors and speculators, a and let the great principle of demand ami sup- n ply settle the ijucstion. a We have secured Home Rule once more and it will not be long before our Hcnch will be tilled with upright Judges, the jury boxes tilled ( with intelligent Jurors, the Legislatures with honest patriotic citizens.
