The demand for the labor of colored people = considerable, also from moat of the Northern States; but as heretofore stated, there seems to exist an uncon- querable repagnance among the Blacks to emigrating in that direction.

PROPOSED NATIONAL COTTON GROWING COMPANY. American and English bankors and capitalists inter- ested in the production of cotton are making Inquiries in relation to organizing a national cotton growing company in the South. The English attempt to produce cotton in India proves discouraging. The only doubt of success in tho South is the uncertainty of securing the labor of the freedmen. To remove their apprehensions on this point Mr. Conway, late of the Freedmen’s Bureau in Louisiana, bas been requested to visit Liverpool and London, and will probably leave within a few weeks .

Davis, did not como off according to the articles of agreement, the police of Albany laying an embargo on the train that was chartered to take the par- ties {nterosted to the piace selected for the Aghting ground, which was in Schoharie county, thirty miles from Albany. Those who had the management of the affair had chartered and paid $500 for a special train of cars from the Susquehanna Railroad Company, in Albany, which was to leave the railroad depot, at tho corner of Broadway and Lydius street, immediately after the arrival of the night boat from New York; but when the time arrived for the departure of the train the arinouncement was made to the assembled crowd, wlio numbered about @ftcen hundred, that an order had been received from the Chief of Police of that city that tho special train must not start. Tho time of the regular train to start up the road was eight o'clock; but long before that hour a body of fifty policemen marched into the depot, and orders were given not to start that train either. This threw a damper over the spirits of the crowd, added to which the rain was falling in torrents, and a consultation was called of the principal backers of the pugilists, who agreed to make no further efforts to get up the road, or to get the fight off then, but to send immediately for and bring back Elliott and Davis, who had gone to the tryat- ing place on the previous night to avoid arrest. The crowd then quietly dispersed, to make their way to their respective homes, and there await the determination of the stakeholder as to when and where the fight will take place. ‘That important piece of intelligence did not transpire yes- terday. There is no doubt, however, that it will come off in a day or two, as the men are both anxious to fight, and the backers of them are desirous of having the affair settled as soon as possible, as each is very sanguine of winning. The betting yesterday around the depot was even, and those who wore not acquainted with the men, but were there for betting purposes, did not know which one to take, in many instances tossing a copper for choice, A flerce and protracted fight is anticipated when the men come together. A large force of policemen were in waiting at the Harlem depot, Forty-second street, last evening, on the arrival of the cars, on tho lookout for Elliott and Davis; and if they should attempt to reach this city by the ordi- nary means of travel they will be lucky indeed if they Wasatnoton, Nov. 21, 1866. EXPENDITURES OF THE TREASURY DAPARTMENT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING SBPTEM- ‘Beomers AND ‘The receipts of the Treasury Department for the quar- tor ending September 30, 1865, were as follows: — MILITARY COURT MARTIAL. A court martial, of which General Dewitt is Prosident and Captain A. H, Wands Judge Advocate, is engaged ettling up scores with volunteer and ‘veteran reserve officers of rank for various direjiotions of duty. Among them is the case of Lieutenant Colonel Boernstein, Fourth colored troops, son of a prominent German editor and politician of St. Louis, who, it is alleged, abused the dignity and endangered the lives of Surgeon General Barnes and daughter by forcing a horse face upon them and frightening the medical team. The accused was in- toxicated at the time. He is also charged with attempt- 2g to override civil law in the forcible entry of a station hougo and releasing a colored citizen from the custody of the police. Policemen are deeply interested in the de- cision upon the last charge. INTERESTING TO HEIRS OF SOLDIERS WHO DIED IM REBEL PRISONS. Quito a number of Congressmen are pledged to the sup- port of a bill, to be introduced at the opening of the ses- sion, providing that heirs of soldiers who died in rebel prisons during the war shall be privileged to collect of the government commutation of rations for the time the deceased were held by the enemy. There is scarcely a doubt that such a bill will pass, as its equity is apparent. FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. The Secrotary of the Treasury, in obedience to noisy demands from the Northern country, has consented to issue another batch of five cent currency notes. A new engraving is belIng prepared for them, carrying out the design of portraits upon fractlonal currency. decided whose face will be on the new stamps. THE COUNTERFEIT FIFTY CENT CURRENCY.

The Press Despatches. Aunany, Nev. 21, 1865. The Davis and Elliott fight has been prevented by the authorities. The Susquehanna Railroad Company re- fused to allow the friends of both parties to proceed to the Sight, and the police were at the depot and locked the cars, creating great dissatisfaction among the roughs. Tt ts asserted by somo that the fiasco was engineered by Elliott and his friends to gather bets. There have been several robberies committed by the thieves who accompanied the mob, and the people of Albany are very much alarmed. SECOND DESPATCH. Ataant, Nov. 21, 1865. By four o'clock this morning a great crowd of rougbs had assembled at the Susquehanna Railroad depot, to take a special train for the scene of the anticipated prize fight between Davis and Elliott; but the police were on band in large numbers, and President Ramsey, of the Susquehanna Railroad, would not let the chartered train goon. The regular 7:30 train was also delayed, and no train was sent out until eleven o'clock. The principals, with some friends, reached Esperance, Schoharie county, last evening, and some believe the fight ia now going on, although a cold rain has beon@all- ing for several hours. It is understood in pohce circles that the fight has been postponed until Thurad@y, and that it will not be fought Wasirxatox, Nov. 20, 1865.

February 6 the New York Sacred Music Society gave an oratorio in the Chatham Street chapel, Madame Caradori being announced as the Principal feature in the vocal display. The 7th of the same month she took part in a sacred concert given in St. Bartholomew's church, corner of Great Jones street and Lafayette place. During very rough and changeable weather which prevaile@ for the next five or six days the Madame took a little rest, and enjoyed the every day society of her friends more freely Her next appearance was at the Park theatre, where she came out on the 17th of April as the prima canta- frice in the opera of the Siege of Seville, by Balfe, Mr. Brough playing Michel. This was repeated two or three times to the great satisfaction of the audience, the Madame: maintaining her fine voice and reappearing in “sunshiny. beauty.” After some negotiations Madame Caradori concluded ‘an engagement in Washington, D. C. She announced her approaching departure to her friends, through the columns of the New Yor« Hxrato, in these words:— Mavame Caravort ALLAN begs permission to announce to her friends and the public that she will give a Concert of Sacred and Miscellaneous Music (the last previous to her doparture for Washington) on Wednesday evening, April 25. Principal performers—Madame Caradori Allan, Mr. Brough and Signor Fabj; Mr. Etienne will preside at the pianoforte; clarionet, Mr. Christian. Exclusively of other music the programme will contain the following pieces, sung by Madame Caradori Allan:—Cavatina Di piacer mi balza il cor—Rogsini; Sacred Song—Angels ever bright and fair (by particalar desire), Handel; Scena ed aria, Di tanti palpita—Rossimi; Polacca, Son 'vergin vezzosi Bellini; Bolero francais.’ Ouvrez' c'est: nous— Dessaner; Scottish baliads, accompanied by berself on the pianoforte, To commence at eight o'clock. Tickets one dollar; to be had at the principal music stores, at the City Hotel, and at Hale's news room, Wall street. This concert was a “bumper” and “highly flattering to the fair and distinguished vocalist,” according to the report next morning. Madame: Caradori was successful in Washington, and became-a very general favorite im evory city of the Union in which she appeared. She continued to sing opera and sacred music at different places during 1838 and part of 1839, When she-returned to New York she was received as an adopted favorite, and concertized very considerably to the great improvement of the bulk of her large audiences and delight of all. Years Ago—The Park Theatre, do. Madame Caradori Allan, colebrated at onetime as & Prima donna and the Grisi of her day, has diedin Europe, in the sixty-fifth year of her age. Some twenty-eight years aga the namo of Madame Caradori was famitter as | a household word in the fashionable circles of Ameriéin Society, and the news of her demise will call up-various: and fond remembrances, toned down, to be sure, by ad- vancing years, in the breast of many a New Yorker who once sat delighted as she sent forth her sweet notes in the old Park theatre of this city. Madame Caradori was born in the city of Milan, in the year 1800. Her father was an officer in the French army. She lost her mother by death when very young, and had barely completed her sixteenth year when her father was also taken off. By his decease she was left in straitened circumstances, Responding to her pro- fessional call, the young lady cultivated a naturally fine voice with much care and studied music assiduously. She adopted the stage as her pursuit in life in the year 1822, and gradually became a favorite with the audiences in some of the continental cities. Her naine and reputation reached England, and sho was offered an engagement in London about the year 1826, which she accepted, making her first appoarance at the King’s theatre in the character of a page in Mo- zart’s Figaro, Tho young artiste was an immediate suc- cess, and continued fora great many years after to be regarded as the leading attraction in musical circles in England and on the Continent. ‘She married in England, and took the name of Cara- dori Allan. When her European fame was fully established Madame Caradori turned her eyes westward, and began to con- template a trip to America anda tour through the United States, the people of which had then commenced to give solid evidence of that liberal appreciation of music, the drama and art for which they are now so celebrated. During the fall and early part of the winter of 1837 wo had in New York Signora R. Garcia, the sister of Mali. bran, who was well sustained in concerts, the grand finale of which was given by her on Monday, the 9th of October, in that year, Madame Caradori had arrived. She reached this city during the last days of September, 1837, and was at once welcomed by and adopted as the protégé of the then leading fashionables. The disagremens of an ocean voyage in a packet ship—it was just six months before we reported the arrival of the steamship Sirius in the Heratp—unsettied the ner- vous system of the artiste to a considerable extent, and she did not recover her natural tone and force for some weeks, In the meantime the town was impatient to hear her, and {communications reached our office almost every day contaming the query, “When will Madame Caradori appear?’’—a question which wo re- peated in the Hewauv on Friday, tho 13th of October, 1837. During the remaining days of the month the Madame recovered her health and concluded her arrangements with Mr. Simpson, the manager of the Park theatre. She appeared at that house on the 30th of October, 1837, in the Barber of Seville, and ‘Caradori last night had a tremendous fashionable jam at the Park’ was the report interforod'with. steamer proved packet, amd Wake having fully satistied himeolt as to her’ perfect’ right to the'tlug she tlow, gave her The next merniag, on arriving at Cape Hayticd, an ox- planation of what liad occurred was sent on shore to the Consul, an@! shorty afterwards am officer was landod on duty.

That even: img the British Consulate was forcibly entered, and the male refugees, who had 'been under the protection of the flag since the beginn: of the revolution, were takes to prison and loaded with irons; thevinsult was ro- peated the next morning: The Bull Dog was thea cleared for action,and il’endeavors to bring the affair to a peaceable terminatiom having failed, all redress having been positively refused, and tntimation given that correspondence was etosed, the Bull Dog left Cape Haytien and procueded:to: [!Acul to communicate wits the President—being forced'to leave the harbor by the threatering demonstration made by the rebols—freab: guns being got into position every day and pointed against her. ‘At forty-five minwtes’ past eight A. M. on ‘Monday, Oct, 23, the Bull Dog returned to Capo Haytien, with the intention of destroying the rebel ‘flotilla, and afterwards iramediately proceeding to Ja- muics, Strict orders were given that not a shot was to be fired on: the towm, but only on the batteries which fired agamst her. On passing Fort Pur- let, at the entrance of the harbor, a broadside was tired as h warning to those inside of what they might expect. Tho Buil Dog then proceeded towards the steamer Vol- drogo with the intention of running her down, but whea within fifty yards of that vessel, going full speed at the time, she ran on a reef and’remained immovable. The crew of the Voldroge t opened fre with hor two guna and musketey, which they continued to do until sunk with shell.” An armed schooner Was next sunk, Direotly the Bull Dog ran on the reef.

The wounded were then sent to the American ship De Soto. Towards the evening, the ship being in cleven foot five inches of water, all endeavors having boom made to lighten and get her off, it was de. cided that it was nee to leave the ship. There was no chance of saving, apd it was deter. mined to-blow her up, as:the men bad been fighting for upwards of nine hours in the heat of a tropical suo, and they: would have to remain at their guns all night, with Use great probability of the batteries opening. fir, when it would have been’ impossible to return itwith eM ‘The ammunition would not have lasted more than th hours, and any attack made the nextday could only have been repulsed with great loss, and eventual; ‘on the accaqunition "was soarly expended, it. woulh have been: necessary to destroy the ship, with alt hands, to prevent her fulling into the “hands of such.anenety. Accordingly, at eleven P.

On the 3d of November Madame Caradori played at the Park theatre, personating Rosetta, in Love ina Vil- lage, Mr. Jones taking the part of Young Meadows. The 6th of the same month La Somnambula was performed, Madame appearing as Amina and Mr. Jones as Elvino. The piece and characters were repeated onthe 8th, and the Barber of Seville the 10th of the month. Madame Caradort again playing Rosina, The Park theatre was more crowded on this oceasion than it bad been since the time of Garcia's performance. The New York Hxratp of the ‘ollowing day noticed the fact in these words:— “Madame Caradori played Rosina last evening at the Park to a splendid anda fashionable house. She sang woll and performed equally well, It went off with- great éclat, Why will persons interrupt the most deli- cate touches of the melody with ignorant, unmeaning plaudits’? La Somnambula was next given. Cinderella followed, Caradori taking the part of CindereMa and Mr. Jones playing Prince, Madame Lecomte, “principal danseuse from the Opera in Paria, London and St. Petersburg,” being engaged at the Park theatre fora “few nights,’ Madame Caradori took a benefit on the 20th of November, 1837. Cinde- rella was played, and the bouse was crowded to its utmost extent. Her engagement at the Park theatre terminated that night; but the fact of her re-engage- ment was announced in the Henato the following morn- ing, and she again appeared in Cinderelia on the evening of the 224, She played in the Barber of Seville next, and on the 29th of November gave a concert which was “crowded by the most cultivated people of both sexos,"’ according to the report of the Hxraip. That very day we expressed our opinion of the artistic abilities and perfections of the Madame thas:—‘Cara. dori is not equal to Malibran even as the latter was whon she left these shores; but she is the purest, the best, the sweetest, the chastest artiste we have heard since. She possesses not the power, sublimity or news they bad of her, after hor safe arrival thore, was through the columns of the Heeazo, when, in the month of December, 1840, we published the fact of her having made engagements to sing in Birmingham, Brighton and Liverpool, all of which she fulfilled. Having realized a competency and made hosts of friends, both in the Old and New World, Madame Cara- dori retired gracefully from the: stage about twenty years ago, enjoying every comfort of life in an elegant privacy, which she maintained from that moment to the time of her decease, some few woeks since. The curt announcements of her death which have ap- peared in English and French journals go to prove that she was almost forgotten as an artiste even at the door of the home of her birth, and in London, the city of her first triumphs: like the great meu ‘before Agamem- she “lived not on the poot’s page;’? and so would have passed away almost unnoticed were not her name and fame both recorded in the columns of the New York Herat in connection with our notices of the progress of the development of a taste for music and the drama among our fellow-citizens commenced some thirty years ago. thousand: it popalar . dhs oy a PP MROKAW, 62 Lafayette place and % Fourth avenue, Opposite Pooper Uutoa, At M.
