The Cotton Trade—The South and the In- stitution of Slavery, formidable to the New England factories than the looms of Manchester. As the mulls in the South multiply, the home market of the Northern manu- facturers is invaded, the ultimate result of which must be to drive them to the support of free trade with the world at large. The increasing demand for the raw material, however, 13 the feature of the most satisfactory complexion to the South. The main dependence of the cotton trade is upon the product of our Southern States. The demand henceforth will be equal to their amplest capacity of production. The unparalleled increase of our population, the wants of our new territories on the Pacific, the growing demand for cotton goods the world over, the sur- prising eflects of steam navigation in creating these increased demands, insure the great staple of the South good prices for the tuture. ‘The question of slavery, 1n this connection, be- comes a matter of the first consequence. It is proved that the African race in no other quarter of the world, under no other system of government, possess a tithe of the comforts and contentment of the slaves of our Southern States. Colonization, if possible, would be of no advantage to them, however advantageous to the white race. Emain- cipation without colonization would be hazardous to | both. The Hill Coolie system of Great Britain, in the West Indies, is a great fuilure. The two races cannot exist together on terms of equality ; and the experience of two hundred years has | proved that the relation of master and slave is the best, where the two races must exist on the same soil. The white race would be unequal to the task of raismg cotton—the climate and the labor in the sun is adapted to the black. In any relation, they must continue the producers of the raw material, and the constant demands of the factories will not admit of any abolition experiments which might result in casting out millions of white opera tives to starve. ‘The system of slavery, thea, aa it | exists in the South, has the interests of the North and of Great Britain committed to its support, and * Of the late intelligence from Europe, the item of paramount importance to the commercial world, is, the report of an advance upon cotton in Liver- pool, of a halfpenny per pound. It will materially affect the purchases, sales, shipments, and esti- mates of merchants and planters throughout the country. Our importing houses are, perhaps, now realizing come advantage from it, in enlarged sales of goods for the Southern retail trade ; for according to the price of cotton the planter gra- duates his consumption of imported articles, | and makes his local advances or investments, governing the purchases of his neighborhood. An advance of a halfpenny per pound upon cotton, as not, therefore, confined in its advantages or influences to those dealers with large sup- plies on hand, but afiects all our commercial and industrial operations—affects the labor of the girl who fulfils her fourteen hours per day in the factories of the Merrimac, and rules the allowanc of pun-money of the belle ot Broadway. It en- livens the song of the driver on the Erie canal, and sends Jack e day earlier on board ship at Mo- bile. It operates on the exchanges 1n Wall street, and its mpples extend into the heart of the moun- tains, and the workmen in the coal mines feel its effects before they learn the cause. It rules the investments of the planter—the value of his pro- perty—the capacities of his credit—and affects the banks and public works of his State. Such are the influences of the price of cotton in Liver- pool, and such the effects, to some extent, of the advance of a halfpenny per pound. But the cotton trade opens a wider field of view than the mere temporary fluctuations of the mar- ket. The raw material is the great staple of our exports—the manufacture of the article is a prime source of the subsistence, wealth, and power of Great Britain. The exchanges of cotton be- tween the two countries, make the bonds of peace between them the bonds of interest. It was the cotton trade which settled the Northeastera boundary and the Oregon question, and will, doubtless, secure another compromise in the Nica- Yagua controversy. Such are its effects upon the international relations and commercial interests between the two controlling commercial and maritime powers of the earth. The introduction of steam into ocean navigation hhas given a new impetus to the cotton trade, and is rapidly extending it in every quarter of the world. ‘The exports of manufactured goods from Great Britain are increasing in the ratio of the increase of the population of her colonies, and with the de- mands of the new markets opening in every inha- bited comer. The fields of snow-white cotton which a year ago the traveller admired, as he as- cended the Mississippi, near Baton Rouge, will, by the next season, have undergone some curious transite and transformations. It will have crossed the Atlantic, passed through the mills of Manches- ter, and will have traversed, “ @ tour du monde, the sinuosities of the exploring expedition. The almond-eyed women of China, the convicts of Botany Bay, the cannibals of New Zealand, the dusky Queen of Tabi and the sun-burnt gold digger on the Sacramento, might be traced out as the wearers and consumera of the crop of that plantation at Baton Rouge. With the opening of the communications over the isthmuses of Pana- ma, Nicaragua and Tehuantepec, our domestic ma- nufacturers will reap the largest benefits, and en- ter, on more equal ground, the competition with the mills of Manchester; with the completion of the continental re d d to San Francisco, the bulk of the trade will be ours Ta the meantime, the demand for the raw mate- rial in Englana has increased beyond all antic tions. The free trade system of Sir Robert Peel the good crops of tain, and the resulting comparative cheapness of provisions, have centributed, with the opening of new markets and the inc d consumption of @otion goods everywhere, to render the demand for the raw article fully equal to tue most bountiful erops of the last two re. From the beet exhi- bits and estimates, 1 that the cotton crop of the current year cannot exceed:— For the United Btatee « «+ « «2,800,000 bales gE f imports to Liverpool from . ee seeeee 100,100 Pernvian 1,896 Wert! hagena, & 4102 Beypti 27.420 East indian 168.022 Btock on handin © 1848. ...4. cee 900,000 Total. nec ceeces 8,100,000 ‘etimaten Wrreiy Consumption In the United States. 11,675 bales Exports to other countries, exceptirg ( Britain.... ® Weekly exports from Great Brita ‘Weekly consumption of Grent Britein.. 11.106 ‘Total weekly conrumption.

The costs of transportation are probally | one cent per pound to the disadvantage of the |at- ter in the raw article. The mille of the South, by water power, may be worked all the year round, and the costs ot fuel and provisions are less thag im the rigid climate of the North. From the great gnecess of the Georgia mille, it may safely be as sumed that their profite support our conclusions, even allowing that the article of labor (white fe- males) is higher than in New England. This suc- eens of the Georgia mille is giving an impulse to the whole South, which promises to become more last two years in Great Bri- | fe that the aurplue will be reach | } the Southern States, 1n the single article of cotton | bales, have a rampart of protection as firm as the | bulwarks of the hero of New Orleans. With the | introduction of manufactures, their dependence | upon New England and Manchester ceases; and it 1s evident that the South is fully aware of these advantages. From all this, it is manifest that the prosperity of the South is secured, and must advance; that it is identified with the existing system of slavery; and thet the extent and necessities of the | cotton trade secure it against any hazardous as- sault. With this balance of trade, the South pos- sesses an element controlling the balance of power. Tue Inisu Revorvtionany Funp.—Tiere are, in this city, many young Irishmen, and some af more advanced years, who have been banished | from their homes for politreal offences arising out of the attempted revolution in Ireland in 1848. Some have found werk suited to their tastes and capacities ; and some had realized an independence for life in the old country, or have annuities which place them beyond the reach of pecuniary embar- rassments. But more, farmore, have no resources of their own; and such of those as have not yet obtained employment, are in a most unenviable po- sition. We have seena letter from one of the most distinguished of the Irish exiles, to a gentleman, in behalf of one of these patriets, asking his influence to obtain a situation of the humblest kiad. Unfor- tunately, even this could not be procured just now. It is sad to think of the sufferings many brave, proud hearts, trom that doomed land, have endured since they care to this city. Some of them would rather perish than apply for assistance; and they have been, consequently, pining in silence. We know one noble young fellow—a man of high cha- racter, of intellect, and of first rate education, fit to fill almost any situation—who actually accepted the occupation of a laborer, rather than be depen- dent on friends who were willing to share their last cent with him. He is now ina better position —no thanks to the political demagogues of New York, wko made capital tor themselves of the Insh movement, while it lasted, and when the failure came, treated with cold neglect the spirits | who were the soul of that movement, and who | would have made it triumphant, if they had only | been sustained. | There is, or , in this city, an Irish Directory ; | to its members the facts we have just stated can- | not be unknown—at least they ought not. Some of them, we have reason to believe, are fully cog- | mizant of every particular. They have lying in | their hands the sum of $25,000, subscribed by the | sons of Irishmen, and Americans of various de- sceent—native, as well as adopted, ciuzens. Many | of theee gentlemen are most anxious to know why this money, subscribed for the purpose of promo- ting the lish revolution, should continue so long | useless and dormant—and in irresponsible keeping, personal liberty and their lives if that cause, and have been compelled to ecek an asylum here in | consequence of their fidelity to it, are allowed to duced to absolute want. It is a shame anda disgrace. There can be no juster or more mate object for the appropriation of a portion ot the deposit. But it may be said that this is not the exact pur- pose for which it was orginally subscribed, and therefore the Directory are not at liberty to apply itto any other. But they have, in point of fact, | already applied it to other purposes, and a y dent is, therefore, este ed. They have given $50 to # young man who was wounded in the kace at the Ballingarry fight. He is now doing very well for himself, and needs no assi giti- quarter. Not very long since they « $2,000 to lrelend to assist in defending one of the State pri- | soners, and the only fault we have to find with that appropriation is, that it was too paltry. Surely a donation presented ina proper manner, and ina true spirit, as the reward of heroism, to the patriots to whom we have alluded, would be equally be- coming on the part of the Directory, and equally acceptable to the subscribers | We wall, perhaps, be told that the Direetory have no means of knowing who are deserving and true, and who are not.

Broapway Tiratae —Last evening concluded the engegement of Miss Cushman at Broadway theatre, and the houre was as densely crowded as om any previous evening during her appearence; nor was the enthusiasm with which she was receivedin aught diminished, Next te Meg Merrilies, Lady Macbeth is perhaps the charao- ter that is in most respects best adapted to the onergy and vigor of her masculine mind. Itis true, she wants the majesty and grace to make a perfect Lady Macbeth; and when some stupid eritic ventured lately not only to compare her with the immortal Mrs. Siddons, but to assert ber auperiority over the greatest tragic actress the world ever caw, he did Miss Cushman a great in- jury, by retting up pretensions which only serve to wake ber ridiculons, and which she would be the first Lerrelf to repudiate. ‘There was but one Siddons, and probably there never wili be another, Miss Cushman fails in the banquet scene, for want of queenly dignity, and her courtery to Dunean is not of that softly iusinu- ating description portrayed by Shakepeare; but when she persuades her husband to the murder, her argu- ments are given ina fiend-like tone that curdies the blood with horror; and tion of the , and her ex- clamation, “Give me the dugger!”’ is powerful beyond description. In some other passages she is rather vio- lent ,ip her gesticulation, and exaggerates the charac- ter, and this is her greatest general fauit. She is want- ing, too, in the pathos expressive of remorse; but ia all the more terrible elements of the character, she is, probably, without a living rival. In she sleep walking fcene tbe is truly grand. There is not in the whole Tange of the drauia a character so difficult to master, | or that requires eo rare @ combination of qualities that seem almost incompatible with each other, Take Miss Cushman “all iu all,” we shall note: other day a tournament and other interesting and | agreeable social ceremonies took place at Dough- oregan, the residence of Col. Charles Carroll, a descendant of the venerable Carroll of Carrollton, which put us in mind of the pastimes of old. The entertamment, although participated in by only a comparatively few persons, was, we are informed, eminently successful, and gave unalloyed eatisfac- tion to the happy ones present. There were con- tests of skill and horsemanship—champions con- tended for the selection of the Queen of Beauty— a king-of-arms, judges, heralds, &c., were ap- pointed, lances were shivered, gallant knights were uphorsed, the Queen of Love and Beauty was crowned; and, in all respects, the tournament was conducted according to the rules and usages which regulated similar entertaimments in olden times, when the chivalry of our ancestors was not merged in the pursuit of wealth and the acquisition of this world’s goods. We hope that this is not the last tournament that we shall have m the United States. Such enter- tainments have a beneficial influence on society, ard ought to be encouraged by all who have the means of so doing. If they and similar amusements were more frequent, our people, especially those in the Northern States, would notbe so much devoted as they are to heaping up money, to the exclusion | of almost every other aspiration. As the world jogs | now-a-days, and as society in the North 1s at pre- sent constituted, the dirty dollar, the pursuit of filthy lucre, is the prevailing thought of all. From boyhood to old age our lives are spent in one un- ceasing, never-ending struggle after wealth. We devote hours that ought to be sacredly used in do- mestic enjoyment and familiar conversation with | those whom we love, to this purpose ; we sacrifice our comfort, deprive life of its greatest attractions, and, in many instances, sacrifice existence itself to the heaping up of money, our sole ambition be- ing to have a larger pile than our neighbor. The consequence is, that people of the present day make pack-horses of themselves ; and, long before they have reached their three score and ten, they totter | | into the grave, with the only remark from the world, of which they reeently formed a part, of | dying worth a certain sum. The acquisition of wealth is the ruling passion of the present day— the sole object of life—the great goal which all are | desirous of reaching, but which 1s never reached, | after all. Such innocent recreations as tend to the deve- lopement of physical strength, and the cultivation | of politeness and good manners, should be more | general than they are in the United States. We might, at the same time, have, as at | present, operatic and musical entertainments, | | our fancy dress balls, sotrées, and réunions, none of which, however, can equal the tournament, with its chivalry, and polish, and healthy excite- ment. With the vast mineral wealth of California | at our command, we can indulge in this beautiful amusement; and we hope it will be introduced | into the Northern States. If it were only for the fun of the thing, we would like to eee some of our fortunate speculators 1a codfith or molasses, tilting | against each other on their caparisoned chargers. Narvnarization.—Committees of both parties, | whige and democrats, are in constant sessi their respective head-quarters, manufacturing voters out of the vast enpply of raw material in the shape of foreigners in our city, for the coanng election. There will ef course be the usual quaa- tity of hard swearing (to use a very mild term) and corruption which characterize those proceed- ings at election times. Earnest appeals are made by the organs of both parties, to{the foreign popula- tion, to come forward and be converted into first- Tete voters, without meney and without charge, | provided they will vote, at the election which will take plece next month, for the party who pay the fees. The consequence is, that the courts are as busy as they can be, in issuing naturalization papers, and swearing in detenders of the constitu- tion, from all parts of creation, and a tew miles out- | side. Thus we go. | Femates Going to Catironxia.—One of the healthiest signs connected with the vast emigra- tion to California, is the number of the softer sex who are leaving the Atlantic for that distant re- gion. Their absence must certainly be severely felt, when, es we are informed, a number of men form a cirele, and, with joined hands, dance round an old lady’s bonnet, A female bat with a female's head in it, is quite a curiosity at the placers, if letter writers from that interesting region are to be accredited.
