THE COTTONSUPPLY AND THE WANTS OF ENGLAND. § The London Times, of the 10th ultimo, dis- cusses the question of the cotton supply, in a style which indicates the desire of England to provide herself with sources of production other than the southern States. We quote the uraterial parts of its article on this subject, as bearing directly upon the question of the hern confederacy and its resources : “Not many days ago we took occasion, in discussing the sources of our cotton supply: to explain the peculiarity of the diffieu wel which this momentous question is attended. It is not that cotton will grow only on particu- lar soils, like cinnamon or pepper. ‘The ar- ticle can undoubtedly be produced in fifty different regrons of the globe, nor is there much reason to doubt that any kind of quality desirable could be imparted to the crop by cultivation and skill. is is not the secret of the matter. The real difficulty consists in this —that America has got fair possession of the imarket, and supplies as with cotton so excel- lent in quality and so nearly sufficient in qu: tity that only a narrow margin is left for fresh competitors. Since the publication of our re- marks some statistics beve been compiled which place the facts of the case i clear light indeed. Last year w: able year for the cotton trade. “Ihe imports exceed in amount any yet recorded: the cor- sumption Ippo gorge haparaniag larg®; and the stocks in hand at the close of 1 were still considerable Coming to figures, we may state that the weekly consumption of the ki m was probably about 48,000 bales. Of these, 41,000, as nearly as possible, came from the United States, about 2.000 from Brazil, 1,800 from Egypt and the West Indics, and 3,200 from India. There is the whole case clearly explained. America sends us six-sevenths of our entire receipts, and maintains this vast supply so well and so successfully that the market is all her own. ¥ unfortunately, this source of our raw , though so excellent while it lasts, e regarded with the confidence which on so vital a question we ought to feel, and, short as has been the interval since the ap- pearance of our observations, it has been long enough to tllustrate with alarming force the precariousness of the support on which we depend. The cotton states of America are actually on the brink of a tremendous conval- sion. The contingency so long foreseen as k sible is now imminent, and if we should ear by any of the next mails that the cotton trop is in danger from the derangement of in- di ‘y ani business we should not be sur- prised. Already the Americans themselves appear to be scared at the prospect. We are told that the = of negroes has fallen enor- and the value of slave property could hardly have been affected except through some misgivings as to slave produce. At any rate, even if we assume, as perhaps we may, that the interests of the cotton-grower will be strorg enough to protect the cotton consumer —— t apy very or serious or immediate mis- chief, it can no longer be denied that our po- sition is beconring unsafe in the extreme. We are holding on bya single anchor,.and the strands of the cable seem actually parting. Nobody can tell what may be the effect of po- litical disorganization upon the cotton States of the Union; and in what condition should we find ourselves if the six-sevenths of our supply which these countriet™ now furnish should be suddenly cut off? Suppose the imports re- duced even by a half ora third, what are we todo? The distress at Coventry gives but a faint idea of the ry and ruin which would overwhelm us if staple manufacture were rh stopped. “It behooves us, then, without an hour's delay, to take this work inhand. Except for the single difficulty we have described, it is a iy work. Three-quarters of the ly competing for the favor of Asia gives us India, and Ind asis invariably found, offers anything we want. Tea, flax, silk, linseed, cotton—whatever crop fails elsewhere is sure to be producible in In- dia. As it is, the Indian cotton supply comes neat to the American in point of magnitude, though with a long interval between, and it is already calculated that these imports will be materially increased during the eurrent year. Then there is Australia bidding for notice. We are assured upon the evidence of excellent authorities that nothing would be easi¢r than to make Australia as good a cot- ton field as America is now. Invest the cap- ital, organize the trade, invite Chinese labor- ers, and the desired results will follow with jhe most infallible certainty. Hardly ‘we opened our eyes to these agreeable Visions swhen the advocates of African civilization in- terpose their claims. Africa is the very land efcotton In those regions the plant is not anexotic. It requires nd naturalization. It rows there already, and is even cultivated, a fr as the ignorance of the natives wil! per the process. m why not extend a hand to the struggling negro, and benrfit an oppress- ed race by the same policy which would pro- vide our manufacturers with inexhaustible supplies ? YsTERY.—A gentleman residing in Fort whose duties require him to absent from his bome much of bis time, came home un- expectedly a few evenings since. His wife told him there was no light in the room,and rr quested him to retire without one, which he did. After retiring be felt unwell, and determining to apply a remedy at once, arose, dressed, and went out to the drugg Potting bis band in bis pocket to get some change wherewith to pay for the medi- cine he bad purchased, he drew cut a handful of gold! He tried.the other pocket with the same result, and counting the contents of the two pock- ets he was ples 2100! The pants were not bis. When he again reached home everything was quiet, and the pants he bad taken off a few mint uter were gone. Now thisis very queer, and can be accounted for on no other hypothesis than that Aladin’s lamp worked upon the affair with the wonderful influence of its magical qual- ities. How otherwise could it have happened? If any other rational explanation can be given, will some one give it? . ‘Swarr Meacantice Practice —It is said tha a certain New York merchant recently found himself in ion of a quantity of linen wrap- esas of very good quality, butso short that no uman being, not even a Esquimaux, could wear them with comfort. How to dispose of them ad- vantage wasa question difficultof solution; but his wits were equal to the emergency, and he hit upon the following plan: He sent er toa certain retail store, with instructions to inquire for short linen wraj The merchant could not su him, al thee inquired where he could find the article. Next day another ‘was dispatched on the same mission, aud the next day another, and so on, until the retail merchant became convinced that there wasan extraordinary demand for short linen rs, and an to look about to find a supply e did not succeed unt:] he came to the establishment of the merchant rst mentioned, where he bought the entire lot It is hardly necessay to add, that there has been no demand for the icle since.—N.

Mr. Spurgeon recently taken to editing a religious periodi- cal, called the ‘Baptist. Even the preachers, both in this country and England, are sucked into the whirlpool of journalism. Harrison Ainsworth and Dudley Costello are the principal contributors to Bentley’s Maga- ine. A shilling edition of Emerson’s ‘Conduct of Life’’ is published in England, despite the un- favorable reviews of the Atheneum and the Critic. Miss Muloch, author of “John Halifax,” has turned editor, and 1s to supervise a new et zine; she has contributed largely to McMillan’s Magazine. easatins has offered a play to the Porte Saint Martin, and it was rejected. A double mortification. The piece was called La Ser- vante. amphlet, ‘‘ Rome and the French 4 attracting nearly as much atten- tion in Paris as "The Pope and the Congress’’ a year ago. Victor Hugo having completed his great ro- mance of Les Miserables, demands $60,000 for the six volum Solar, the publisher of La Presse, offers ,000 for the right to publish the work in the feuilléton form, and another publisher offers $15,000 for the absolute prop- erty of the volumes, but the poet resists both inducements. Who shall talk of the lack of business talent, the improvidence and careless- néss of literary men? Motley’s new volumo is in pres by the Har- ers, and indeed ready for publication. They old it back solely on account of the times. Some of the copy of Thackeray's Virginians was written so hastily that the original man script was sent to this country before the au- thor had corrected the proofs. The two first volumes of a French transla- tion of aGerman work called “ Eni igm tical Peradnages and Wonderful Histories,’’ are just published in Paris. Anthony Trollope, John Hollingshead, and George Lewee are the principal contributors to the Cornhill Magazine, besides Thackeray. Weaning Russer Suoes.—The tendency of India rubber shoes is to make the feet cold, and in such proportion-to endanger the health; hence they are useful only in walking, when the ground is muddy, or slushy with meltin; snow—in these cases they are invaluable, an there is no equal substitute. Two rules should be observed, whenever it is possible; when rub- bers are on the feet, fersons should keep mov- ing, and remove them on entering the house, if it is intended to remain over a few minutes. If the rubbers have been on the feet several hours, both shoes and stockings are necessa- rily damp by the condensation and confine- ment of the perspiration; therefore all should be removed, and the naked foot held to the fire until warm and dry in every part; if, then, a pair of dry stockings are put on, and a pair of warm loose slippers, or shoes, there will be a feeling of comfort for the remainder of the day, which will more than compensate for the trouble taken, to say nothing of the ailments averted. But it must not be forgotten that as India rubber shoes are impervious to water from without, and ought to be worn in muddy weather, and only then while the wearer is in motion, so leather shoes, rendered impervious to water, by blacking or any other means, should be like India rubbers, used tem rarily, and when walking in mud or slosh. For com- mon purposes the old fashioned leather boots and shoes are the best, if kept well blackened, with sevoral renewals of dry socks during the day, if the feet sweat profusely. As cold and damp feet are the avenues of death to multi- tudes every year, a syste: i¢ attention to the above suggestions would save many a 1 lall’s Journal of Health DissaTisFacrion or THE VOLUNTEERS at PEN- sacoLa.—We clip the following paragraph from the Mobile Mercury of the 25th ult: ‘The steamer Oregon, about the safety of which there was sofme apprehension afew days since, arrived at our wharves yesterday, with detach: ments of several companies who have been granted furlough.

Citize: occurring to Mr. Wm. T. Redmon, who, attracted to a shanty near the residence of his brother by groans which -proceeded from it, found there an emaciated and almost lifeless stranger, who gave the name of Frederick Wilhelm, a shoemaker by trade, who. losing his employment at Frankfort, destitute of means and hope, tired and hungry, but prcteten to starve rather than beg, had gone in the shanty on the 9th to die, and remained there without food or fire until discovered on the 2ist instant. The Citizen says there is no reagon to doubt the fact, as he was seen about the barn on the 9h.
