THE DAILY NEWS. A Fal*? Step* BT HHS. BROWNING. Sweet, thou hast trod ou a heart. PasB ! there's a world fall of men; And women as fair aa ttou art Must do such things now oud tuen. Thou aly has stepped unaware Malice not one cnn impute; And why should a heart have been there In the way of a fair woman's foot? It waa not a stone that could trip, Nor was it a thorn that could rend; Put up thy proud underlip, 'Twas merely the heart of a fiiend. And yet, peradventure, one day Thou, Bitting alone at the glass, Remarking tho bloom gone away, Where the smile in Its dluipiement was. And seeking around thre in vain, From hundreds who flattered before, Such a word as "Oh 1" not in the main, Do I held thee lesa precious, but more. Thou'lt sigh, very like, on thy part. "Of all I have known, or oan know, I wish I had only that t eart I trod upon ages ago I" NEW ORLEANS AND TDE FOPJU. Celebration ot the Semt-Centcnntal An? niversary or tlie Elevation of Pias IX to the Priesthood-An Immense Dem? onstration. Tho New Orleans papers are filled with ac? counts of tho great Catholic celebration in that city on the 10th inatant. A correspondent of the Louisville Courier, describing the soene, says : The pontifical celebration, which was given by the Catholics here yesterday, was tho most magnificent and immense demonstration that has ever been seen in New Orleans. This community is thoroughly Latinized. By far the largest proportion of the inhabitants is Catho? lic. The procession and ceremonies which took place yesterday were done in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Pope Pius Ninth having taken orders as a priest. It was really the celebration of his Golden Wedding with the Church. To honor the occasion to the fullest extant admissable, every order of the priesthood, every society and order in the church, and which is Catholic in its practice, every school, civic society, the functionaries of the Stats and city, and an innumerable concourse of citizens, were in the procession. With banners of all 1 descriptions flying, music from many bands making the city resound with their poans of ioy and rejoicing, the immense demonstra ion passed along the route. This was lined on either side throughout the whole distance, 1 and the spectators stood, during the transit, eagerly watching, and with unabated interest, the long lino and its ever varying peculiarities. We reckon the line at least three and a half miles long. It passed at a rapid walk and in 1 close compact order, two and three abreast, and occupied *n hour and a half whilst passing any given point. The ceremonies which look place in front of the cathedral were of the most imposing char? acter. All the priesthood and orders that are on duty in this oity and vicinity were on the grand platform, and the interesting services were observed with wonderful interest by the vast throng, which filled every avenue and available foot of space in the vicinity. It was truly gorgeous. Jackson Square had been set apart exclusively for ladies, and it , was orowded to its utmost capacity, while the streets around were literally packed, even across the levee and to the very bank of the river, while the galleries of the Pontalba build? ings were filled with gentlemen, and the very roofs of houses were alive with people. The most beautiful picture of all, ai seen from the ?latform, was that of Jackson Square, set in a ving frame of black and fringed by the ever? greens and wreaths and symmetrically trim? med shrubbery, where stood a cluster of female loveliness dressed in holiday attire, wearing countenances pleased, yet anxious and inter? ested, while above all stood the majestic Btatue of Andrew Jackson, the centre of this picture, the background of which was formed by a view of the mighty Mississippi, its steamboats and shipping. The New Orleans Times, in its editorial re? marks on the celebration, says: It was certainly one of tho grandest popular manifestations ever made in this city. In point of numbers, it exoeeded any assemblage we ever witnessed. In the grandeur and sub? limity of the scene, in the earnest enthusiasm and devotion of the multitude, in the vast array of women and children, in tho tasteful and appropriate ornaments, and the solemnity of the ceremonies, everythinr combined to render the occasion one which impressed all beholders with an awe, reverence and respect, for the sincerity and earnestness of those who had thus gathered in snob, vast multitude, to test their veneration for the great father and head of the Catholio Church. After a pause of about one minute. Thomas Layton, Esq., rose and delivered a most im? pressive address. Mr. E. Burmudez then made an address in French, and Mr.-in German. All these gentlemen were enthusiastically ap ?lauded. His Grace the Archbishop then gave ie benediction of. tho Blessed Sacrament, the music for the occasion hoing performed by the combined choirs of the city. His Grace the Most Bev. Archbishop then gave the Papal B?n?dic? tion, thus closing the ceremonies of one of the grandest, most enthusiastic and most imposing religious ceremonies ever witnessed in New Orleans.

Nearly all rotten that was up was killed, and the previous and succeeding cold bas either sickened or stinted most it the remainder-thus rendering replanting neces lary.

Sales of the week 23.688 bales, including 6701 to spinners, 2174 to speculators, and 15,750 to export? ers. Gross receipts at this port for tho week, 5979 bales. Sinoo 1st September 551.495 bales. On tho week our prices show an advance of M to *?o. and Liverpool is >?d higher. The large sales thte week have relieved many holders, and tho offer? ing stock ia considerably reduced, We have receiv? ed accounts of frost in Alabama and Georgia. We do not hear that it extended beyond those States, or that much cotton was up to be Injured, lhere is no doubt, however, that tho planting season is two or three weeks later th au last year. lhere have beon received at the ports since 1st September 1.846,940 bales, of which exporters have taken 1,108,326; spinners 401 900; and the stocks have increased 276,720 bales. Deficit in receipts as com? pared with lust year 135,312 bales. Deficit in ship? ments to Liverpool 285,247 bales. The deficit in re? ceipts is probably at its maximum, as we have to compare with an average of only 15,184 bales for the next four weeks in 1868, and there aro 36,172 bales more in tho in terior towns, part c f which will be moved in when priceB are satisfactory. In our circular of April loth, 1808, wo reported the stocks In Cincinnati, Louisville, Selina, Eulaula, Americus, Griffin, Albany, Yickeburg and 8t Louis, at 1AM92 bales. This year the slocks In those places amount to 19,759 bales, which shows an lncreaee of 7767 bales. On tho plantations wo hoar th it there is less cotton than at tbis time last year. About this time last year prices had advanced to 30a32o, and we warned our liiends of the danger of holding cotton, and called attention to the following fact: 1. That spinners in England bad bought froely and held very large stocks at the mills. 2. That tho consumption was likely to be checked by the high prices. 3. That the shipments from Bombay might be increased by tbe high prices. Thia year the situ? ation is entirely different. Spinners have been re Fisting the advance in cotton, and have bought as little as possible. Then stocks at the mills are re? duced to a minimum point, owing to the reduced production of goods; tho stocks everywhere have been much diminished. 'i he governments reports from Bombayassure us that there will be 200.090 bales less shipped this year lo England as compared with 1868. Besides, last year the planting season in the South was propitious and there waa no difficulty about labor. Whereas, this year the seaton ls three weeks late, and from all sides we hear of scarcity of hands, Weean see no? thing to depress prices until October, and many things likely to cause an advance. The Bombay Circular of 6th March says : The itrospectot au export at all approaching to that of I ost year becomes daily less likely. Further reduc I tionsare made in the estimates of tho Broach and [ Dhollera crops. And we may feel more and more certain that the total for the present year will not ex? ceed 800,000 bales to Great Britain and 200,00} bales to the Continent. STATISTICAL POSITION- 1869.
