We have received a number of commaaica tions from correspondents which we should be pleased to insert in this paper, were it not that the writers have failed to send tlieir names or otherwise authenticate their letters.

There is a report in the city that Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia (formerly rector of Trinity Church in this city), has just been stricken down with paralysis.

Dr. Wm. H. Hoi combe has returned from a tour' in the mountains of Virginia and resumed practice. The Times is concerned, about a coffin somewhere resident about this office.

As the necessity for its use (doctors are sometimes disappointed respecting the fate of their patients, your know,) has lapsed, we would offer it to the Times for the use of the Liberal party, if we were not convinced that the receptacle would prove too large for the body. The quarantine interview at the Mayor's parlor yesterday, appears to have resulted in the simple verification of an old adage that doctors will dis agree." The ipse dixit of the individuals was against the necessity of quarantine restraints, bnt the array of facts and arguments is considered to have been otherwise, and we say this without the least disposition to favor such restraints, if upon any reasonable or just grounds they can be omitted. That signal failure on Thursday to organize a colored Liberal club shows Warmoth's strength with the black race. Outside of Pinchback's little band of mulattoes in New Orleans, (and it is doubtful what they will do,) the negro element will vote solid against his Excellency. New Mail Route.

Adams, There were wild rumors in circulation about the city yesterday regarding the condition of Mr. Lucien Adams, who was shot ou Thursday by Mr. Aristide E. Bienvenu among thorn one to the eff ct that he was dead. A visit to the house on Burgundy street, last night, proved the rumors to be false, Mr.

Adams being entirely unchanged in his condition no better nor worse. The physicians are still unable to give a certificate as to nls safety, and therefore Mr. Bienvenu remains In durance.

Wnimoth 1 a written a piece to Mr. J. Oplatek, tell ng tliut lie had better not run for the Convention a a delegate, holding as he does a lucrative position by his (Warnmih's) jutmi foment, because, eaj's his Excellency, it would be seized upon by our enemies as an excuse to decry our mdvenent and injure our. cause." The Governor also thiows ont the same kind of a hint to 44 every friend of mine holding office by my appointment, and favorable to the Liberal cause." Mr. Oplatek, Mr.

John M. March, Mr. H. G. Pearson and Mr.

M. Lethieque have construed this into an order which must be obeyed, and have as gracefully as they could pulled down their flags. It is a somewhat notable fact that in nearly every ward in the city the prominent candidates for the Convention are either members of the metropolitan police, or are office holders under the Warmoth The whole. crowd will follow the example of Mr. Oplatek et and back down before the polls are opened to day.

Is there any one so decidedly verdant as to give credence to his Excellency's sincerity of purpose while penning the following I hope that every friend of mine, holding office by my appointment, and favorable to the Liberal cause, will refrain from attending the Convention, and that its deliberations may be entirely free from the suspicion that they are in any manner influenced or controlled by myself or my friends. I again beg you to withdraw in favor of some other old and respectable citizen, il possible a stranger to me, and who will be free from any suspicion of being in my interest. He very clearly wishes to have the 8Mi" ti'on removed and the fact to remain. Everybody remembers, we suppose, the story of the Bear and the Fiddle, which is begun and breaks off in the middle." It often happens that the New York Associated Press dispatches do not preserve even this unsatisfactory mode of proceeding in the stories which they tell. It is considered sufficient that the end of a political or other sensation is as much as New Orleans read: rs can bear.

Thus, the affair of the "colored Greeley marshal," which occurred in Raleigh, seemed to have been held to be of too exciting a nature to be detailed in fall. Therefore, we Only received the least disturbing part of the story. From another source, we obtain the following particulars of the commencement of the difficulty Ralkigh, N. July 17. Samuel G.

Ross, a colored marshal at the Greeley and Brown ratification yesterday, was attacked by an infuriated mob of colored men and beaten on Fayetteville street last night. He sought protection at police headquartes. and remained for more than an hour in his retreat. He knocked down three of his assailants, which enabled him to reach police headquarters in safety. He left the station house about 10 oxlock for his home, on Hillsboro street, but since that he has not been seen or heard of, and.

fears are entertained that he has been foully dealt with. Simon B. Craven, wh wat also a colored marshal yesterday and delegate to the Cincinnati Convention, was assaulted at his house and his life threatened, his assailants charging him with being a Greeley ite and a Liberal Republican. The United States Commissioner has issued warrants for the arrest of the parties in the Craven case. The trial is postponed until 10 o'clock tomorrow.

John T.

The steamer Hibernia, from Liverpool for Quebec, takes out a party of English settlers, pioneers of a colony which they propose to establish in Minnesota. Special dispatches' to London papers say no progress was made before the Board of Arbitration at Geneva, yesterday, there being no session. To day's session lasted from 1 till 4 P. M.

All the members present. The time was devoted to the question of the responsibility of England, which Lord Tenter den denies. The court adjourned to Monday. Geneva, July 19. Great precaution is.

being taken by those connected with the Board of Arbitration to secare absolute secrecy. With this view, the entire party of English representatives refused to go into any society. A number of influential gentlemen of 'Italy have united in an address to Count Schlopis, President of the Board, congratulating him upon the part he has taken in the proceedings of that body, expressing gratification that the dispute between Great Britain and the United States had been submitted to the decision of a peaceful tribunal. Madrid, July 19, 4 A. M.

At midnight last night the carriage of the King and Queen was fired upon by a party of assassins. The King and Queen, who were the only occupants of the carriage, escape uninjured. One of ue assassins was killed by an attendant and two were captured. The Royal family are now at the Palace, receiving the congratulations of the populace upon their escape. The tranquility of the city is undisturbed, although when accounts of the aflair began to be generally oiroulated there was much excitement.

Crowds gathered in the neighborhood where the attack had been made and by four o'clock in the morning almost the entire population of Madrid was hastening through the streets. Their Majesties remained self possessed during the scene of excitement which ensued upon the attack and the brief conflict with the oi passing. When quiet had been in a measure restored they proceeled to the palace, where they now are receiving members of the Ministry. Civil and military authorities of the city and deputations from the people, of all classes, are enthusiastic in rejoicing over the failure of the murderous' attack. Madrid, July 19, Evening.

The King and Queen assisted at a Te Deum at the Royal Chapel to day. The King subsequently walked through the streets and was cheered with enthusiasm by the people. All classes are hastening to show their loyalty and sympathy for the dynasty. A crowd to day attempted to take the assassins out of jail and shoot them, but a strong force of police prevented them from doing so. Judicial inquiry is actively progressing into the circumstances of the attempted assassination.

There' is no doubt but that all those connected with the crime will be dealt with according to the utmost rigor of the law. London, July 19. There was a remarkable performance of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro," at Her Majesty's Theatre last night. Titiens, Nilsson and Kellogg were in the cast. The combination drew an immense audience.

The Dukes of Edinburgh and Cambridge were present and personally congratulated Miss Kellogg on her success. WASHINGTON. Letter from J. T. Pickett, C.

S. Diplomatic Agent at Mexico. July Cotton Report of the Agricul tural Department. Washington, July 19. The following is a summary of the July cotton report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture: The past month has been generally favorable to cotton.

Limited areas have been affocted by drouth, but rains were quite general during the latter part of June. On the Atlantic coast showers have been so frequent and heavy since June 20 as to delay cultivation, and promote the growth of weeds and grass. Before that date a season of comparative drouth of seven or eight weeks had been suffered in a portion of this district, while other counties represent the weather uniformly favorable. The variation in rain fall during the past month has been considerable in the Atlantic States, ranging as follows At the stations reported from one and two tenths inches to 4.93. In Virginia from 1.75 to 5.49 in North Carolina from 1 4 10 to 3.95 in South Carolina from 1.25 to 4.96; in Georgia from 4 10 to 6 units; ia Florida from 1.55 to 4.89.

In the States of the Mississippi Valley the rain fall has been abundant. The lowest record in the several States being from 2 to 4 inches, and the highest from 4 5 10 to 11. In Tenneiisee the range is from 2.64 inches to 10.63; in Louisiana from 4.35 units to 11 units; in Texas from 2.02 units to 6 K10 units; in Arkansas from 4 8 10 units to 8 2 10 units. The States making averages lower than one hundred, the standard of good condition are Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina in which the average rainfall in May and June was light, and Arkansas, where injury has resulted from heavy and unseasonable rains. In all the other States the averages are above one hundred.

The figures representing the condition are as follows Virginia, 96 North Carolina, 94 South Carolina. 97; Georgia, 101; Florida, 102; Alabama, 106 Mississippi, 101 Louisiana103 Texas. 105 Arkansas, 95 TennessaO 04. Taking into consideration the relative importance of the States in production, the general average of the condition would be about one hundred and three, at whole the July returns of the present year show a higher average of condition than those of any previous reports, except those of 186S. Washington, July 19.

A person signing himself J. T. Pickett, Confederate States diplomatic agent near the Government of Mexico, publishes a long letter explaining his connection with transactions whereby the United States paid him $15,000. Pickett claims to have acted merely as attorney. He says The documents consist of the entire archives of the Department of State of the Confederate States nothing more nor less, without the abstraction of a single piece.

The civil Bervice vouchers, by which many persons of little note, however this side of the line might have been compromised, did not leave Richmond with those more public papers, but were faithfully and honorably destroyed by Mr. Benjamin the day of the evacuation. Had any such papers come into my possession, I should have been burned at the sooner than deliver them even to the common Government. Thus I do not perceive that anybody is hurt, and there is but one paper, the perusal of which gave me any pain. The Hon.

Jacob Thompson's report of operations of the former, the existence of which was unknown to me until the officer with whom I lately went to Canada, found it as he would testify if calltd upon. It was too late then to recede, now could I have been induced to falsify history by destroying it and here follows a curious episode Knowing that the documents exhibited the fact that Mr. Thompson had a very large amount of Confederate States gold in his possession at the time of the collapse, which gold has gone where the woodbine twine th" I went a very long journey last summer to see him and out of abundant kindness told him of the fact that such papers were still extant. He would not be convinced, saying Mr. Brighton had told him everything of the kind had been destroyed, and I dare say he was so informed and believed, this being manifestly the cue of that wily Hebrew in order to share in the plunder aforesaid.

Now, inasmuch as the Confederate Government was indebted to the writer in the amount of at least $50,000 of that gold, or liquid account, he, the writer, felt virtuously indignant that Messrs. TborriT'son and Benjamin should have gobbled it all. By Thompson's permission, I afterwards addressed him on the subject, in the hope that he would make an eftort to secure the entire mass of documents; but he treated my l'tter with offensive silenoa. Now the publication of his report will doubtless cause him, with Jefferson Davis, and J. P.

Benjamin to feel uncomfortable for a little while, but as I expect to go to neither of them when I die, my sympathy shall be of a heartrending character, especially as they have all three treated me badly enough in my time, and thus I am, albeit, unintentionally, the instrument of execution of a sort of poetic justice upon them. The letter does no credit to the author, the Federal Government, or the mysterious parties who owned the documents, and there are parties here who question the truthfulness of some of the details. NEW YORK. The Resignation of Collector Casey. Stokes Bxpects to be Bailed.

Bail Refused Mrs. Anderson and Dr. Irish, New York, July 19. The Herald's Washington special says Frequent inquiries are made for the reasons why the President does not accept the resignation of Collector James Casey, of New Orleans. The fact is known that it was called for and made at the instance of the President, and is still in his hands.

While the President really intended to appoint a successor to Casey, he found the Louisiana congressional delegation unwilling, collectively or individually, to recommend anybody er the position. Senator Kellogg said he could not select from one wing of the Republican party without incurring the displeasure of the other one. Excuse was made by Representatives Sheldon and Sypher, and the President was advised that if he assumed the responsibility it would certainly disrupt the party; besides, nothing was alleged against the present incumbent, in the State, that made it desirable to have a change. Mr. Casey has, therefore, a hold on the office until after the Presidential election.

Isew York, July 19. The steamer Clyde was floated off at high tide yesterday and went to her dock. News of the attempted assassination of King Amadeas and wife created intense excitement among the Spanish residents.

Stokes states that he has every reson to believe he will be let out on bail.

He desires to go to Europe. The band of the Garde Republicaine sail for home on the 27th. Judge Pratt refused application for bail in the case of Mrs. Anderson and Dr. Irish, acensed of poisoning the former's hnsband.
