THE DAILY NEWS The Lo?t Spring "The year has been robbed of its Spring ."-Pen ci? on the death of Athenian youth in batt'e. Trna words and tsuder strain. Immortal Greek !-again Tired Summer faints; for ob, with dew? rain, Aud rosy dawninps clear. Though all thy months were here, Rejoicing Spring, wo missed thee from the year 1 Hence Autumn is not glad; Gray heads are bowed and sad Her scanty crown reminds them what she had Ere War and Spectral Fear, And Love, to deck the bier Of youthful heroes, spoiled the vernal year. And Winter is more stern; Prone on his chilly urn. Earthwards ho mutters, "She will not return; Our youth sleep far and near, Like them, sho does not hear The loud March wind, the birth-cry of the year ! The skirtine poplars fling Green banners of the Spring High on tbs air; the BOUTS their offering brinj. Pale flowers to 8orrow dear, Ind many a shining tear, But t'.ou-where art thou, glory of the year ? Ihe briar at noon is sweet; and. cool to cloven feet, The ways-i ie grass feels not the climbing heat; But lo 1 where stark ar d sear. Stands, like a shattered spear, ome leafless signal of the stricken year. The Stream in splendor flows, Mor shrinks when Taurus glows; Her bosom is still cold with mountain snows. O Touts, serene, severe 1 O shining, swift career ! Gone is the srace, the glory of tho year. Upon dead Freedom's breast, Bright, curly heads are pressed. Ah I many a flory heart is here at rest I True words, old Greek I how drear Without her tones of cheer, . Without her smile, how sullen is the year. Forever ort thou fled Spirit that, i miling, bled Ey Athens' w?U ? How late we saw thee tread, With Hope, thy nur compeer, In haggard Battle's rear. Flower-footed spring, nor missed thee from the year. O God, bring back the Spring; In V4in ihe thrashes sing In vain wild harps ia leafy forests ring; Their music, in oar ear, Is harsh, till she appear. Till Thou, at last, reclaim the perfect year. W.

SMITH, EDWARDS k CO.'6 5?ONTHLT COTTON CIRCULAR. LIVERPOOL, October 1.-Our market, after va? rious fluctuations during the past month, closes uta decline of %a;?d in American, and ',,'a ],d in Surat cotton. Thc prospects of our ma'k^t at the present time hinge mainly upon thc outturn of tue American crop, and the opinion? held by tho public regarding i*. We are sony t ? report that th e account* lor somo lime past have bec-a tho ravorsc o: s-tisfactory. rrem samo of tho leading districts reports arc re? ceived of crest havoc by worms, and, speaking gen? erally, the rccc-jt heavy rains appear to have done much damage. These accouuts come both by letter ani by telegraph, and are loo ciplicit lo be disro g arde I. Public i pinion iii Amer ci ii evidently fond? ing to liwer estimates than prevailed tome time a?o, and whtreai it was once generally thought tint the yield would exceed tho last by 200,0t'0 bales, lt is now considered very doubiful il there will beany excess at nil. It is no doubt true that the t rop ia conjiderably earlier than lost year, and tho receipts are likely for some weckt to exceed largely the cor? responding one? of last season. But this need ex? cite noMirprue; for last crop was one of the lat?st ever known, and, besides that, there was a stoppage of business at the Gulf porls from yellow lever; but this year there is every inducem mt lo send iorwurJ rapidly-the price is tempting, (he planting interest extremely poor, nnd iacilitics for trouait gool. Wo, theielore .ook for rapidly increasing receipts, and a large excess upon last year by tho eud of this month, and after that pcrioJ, i": the icports we now leeeive prove correct, th. rc is likely to bi a chango for the worse in the comparison wi h lost year. The excessively ?mall SIOCK ol American cottcn held hero puts tint class in a very strong position, and it will re6ocud readily to any news favorablo to the market. We consider it, nader all the circu li? steners oi the case, relatively cheap. Indian cotton holds a somewhat different position. For several weeks to come the import rau*t bc very heavy, and the stock here will probably iucrease to 300.000 or 358,01,0 bales. It might 02 fairly assumed thal some decline would Uk? piece during the pressure of so large an import, and wcro good accounts coming of the American crop this would likely take placo; but under the artual circumstances of tho case a decline in Surat cotton seems doubtful. It is wall known that the largo impt rt now due will be the bwt cl any magnitude for many month-! to come, and itispar ftct'y evident that in the spring of next year the stock of. ur.its will again dwindle to a more hand? ful. Tb? knowledge ol this will stimulate demand uUriRp thc period of abundance, and give holders confidence, and to it is prohibi? that the effect of large arrivals is rretty weil discounted. Mail accounts have now been received of the dara nge done by the floods to the lucian cotton crops in the Dhollerah and Broach district-. It appears to bavu been very serious ind?e ), bat as a set-off against it we would remark that tho area planted in India th>* year was veryl irge, and tlier.fore it is premature io infer that our supply from that quarter for next year will bo ro lured. Tho Bengal crop is also said to have in tiered severely. Thc shipment* of cotto:i from the minor ptrls ol India have been larger than u?ual during tbe aulumu months, and have attracted some alton ion, but from Bombay they hive now almost ceased. We expect that they wiil bc ? erv small ior tue remainder of this year tro n all tb* lud?an ports, and consequently the statistical position ot Surat cotton will steadily im? prove. '1 he account* received of thc progress of tho Egyp? tian crop are very satisfactory, aueian incr ased >ield isexpeccd. From Brazil, ?l60, increased supplies are looked for next year. .Murray, Ferris & Co 's Snval Store Cir? cular.
