They refute Canclostvely, the fallacies advanced in the Hulper book ‘and ie the speeches of biack republican abolitionists, We are not suprised, therefore, to leara that the large edition already printed bas deen exhausted, and that numerous orders have been received in advance for that which is about to appear. 2 NsRRative OF THE Eaxt. OF Exary’s Mrssron To Crna ann Japan, in the years 1857, 58 and ’59, by Laurence Oliphant, Esq, Private Secretary to Lord Elgin. Harper & Brothers.

The cation crop, from 3 000 Dales in 1800, valwed at $5,726,000, bas risen to 4,610,000 weales, valued at $226,000.000, aad this underiies the industry of, 6,000,000 cotton manufacturers in Fug: fend ana Western Europe.

Ta piber wores, the expense of caitie atthe North is tiurty fumes greater than at the South, The surpias of the South pours Northward in an immense stream, vivitying ‘every branch of trade.

Where the tonnage bes been pushed beyond this propor- thon there bave been leas freighia and distroas as in the past few years.

Yesterday being ihe day appointed for the exeontion of Apne Bilanrky, and as the case bas excited 4 great interest, we have thought a review of i from the first to last would be tateresting.

Her conduct ever since she was first arrested, up toa recent period, was not such as te command the sympa. thies of the community, and possibly may beve bad an eflect on the verdict of the jury. We learn that she seemed to be utterly devoid of ali nataral female modesty, and even of common decency, and her heartless remarks often got outside of the walls aud served to en- bance the prejuaices of peepie, which were excited by the heinova nature of the crime with whi abe was charged. Probebly no jail ever contained » crimipal, either male or female, under imprisonment for such a crime, who exbibited such # complete waatof de- cency and propriety. She manifested put little feeling of horror at the crime ‘with which ehe was charged, but often entertained those ‘who visited her with long accounts of her trial and ita minute tecbuicalities, remembering each with wonderful correctness. In fact, she was a complete pettifogger, and had imbibed am opinion, which} is common amoog better toformed people, that technicalities could defeat jastice im every case. But immediately after the adjournment of the Legiaia- ture, aud all hope bad been cut off in tuat cirection, aud the warrant for her execution had been issued, “andor the broad seal of the State,” she then seemed to awake 10 the awful nature of her posifion, aa was disposed te re- ceive.ihe ministrations of clergymen. Several of them visited her at her request, but after a time she accepiod Folely those of the Ontholic church, and manifested, ap- parently, an earnest desire to make preparation for the great change that awaited her At the same time that she appeared truly desirous of this, her manner of speech often was such as to shock the eensibilities of those who were laboring with her for that object.
