so far, but none are more ready than the department itself to admit that, for little works such as every square mile of India now wants, and private enterprise supplies in England, the "P. W.

The land in the Algarves may be purchased at very moderate prices in consequence of the new law in Portugal, which allows in certain cases the sale of majorats, and the cultivation of cotton there would tend to retain in the country a great part of the laborers who now annually emigrate into Spain in search of employment.

ill expected. The great argument, however, for abstinence on the part of our people and Government from incurring at the moment any heavy liabilities in distant quarters, consists in the circumstance that the lapse of a very few weeks is now likely to show either that the American crop will come forward, or that, on the contrary, India may set to work to take the place of that country and to supply henceforth all our tremendous requirements. If the policy inaugurated by General Fremont in Missouri is to be adopted by the Federal Government, the war will then be one of Abolition, and in that case, whether peace be delayed or attained immediately, the production, not only of cotton, but of sugar, in the U. S., will temporarily share the fate that attended the productions at Jamaica. If, on the other hand, the Democratic party in the North become alarmed at the Union being committed to such a result, and are able, notwithstanding the force by which the expression of their opinions is n

prices with which the cheap railways cannot compete. This is especially the case with cotton. The rates at which goods are carried on American rivers are so low that she possesses in this respect an immeasurable advantage over India. On Lower Mississippi the rates are 1-7d. to ½d. per ton per mile; on the Upper Mississippi, ½d. to 7-10d.; on the Ohio, 1-5d. to 1-3d.; on the Missouri, 4-5d to 11-10d.; on the St. Lawrence, 2-5d. to 3-5d. and on the Hudson, 2½d. The rates on indian rivers varyUpper Mississippi, ½d. to 7-10d.; on the Ohio, 1-5d. to 1-3d.; on the Missouri, 4-5d to 11-10d.; on the St. Lawrence, 2-5d. to 3-5d. and on the Hudson, 2½d. The rates on indian rivers vary from 2½d. to 3d. per ton per mile. Captain Haig, who is so enthusiastic on the navigation of the Godavery, estimates the rate at Êd, to 3/8d. per ton per mile. Supposing it to cost at first ¾d. per ton to send cotton from Hinginghat, on the Godavery, to Coringa, a distance of 440 miles, the total expense will be about £1 7s. 6d. The cost of sending cotton to Calcutta from Jubbulpore via Mirzapore, which is a distance of 460 miles by land and 700 by river, is stated to be not less than £1

work to reduce the cost of production and conveyance to port and improve the quality. The former remedy is indefinite; the latter is so much in our own hands, that it at once recommends itself as the one which should be adopted. Could a reduction be effected in the price at which cotton can be laid down in England, an immediate and incalculable impetus would be imparted to the export. A large quantity of even such cotton as we are now sending, would be a benefit to the manufacturers of Manchester, as well as to the producer and exporter here. To raise a better quality of the article would certainly be desirable; but this is an end that cannot be attained in a day. It will be many years before there are sufficient European planters in India to give a new name to Indian cotton, and it may be many more before the natives will adopt any other system of cultivation and preparation of the staple, than that which has been handed down from generation to generation, even though Lord Ellenb

If, on the other hand, the Democratic party in the North become alarmed at the Union being committed to such a result, and are able, notwithstanding the force by which the expression of their opinions is now kept down, to reassert themselves and to insist upon a compromise or adjustment with the South, there will then be no impediment to an early resumption of the ordinary course of traffic. Meanwhile it is, of course, satisfactory to weigh the subjoined statement, and to observe that so

ions of the past six month have ended, as they began, in the unanimous opinion that the export of sufficient cotton from India is merely a matter of price, and that price is largely a question of roads. When a pound of cotton fetches as much in Calcutta as it would in Liverpool, there is no inducement to send it home. The question to be determined is, whether we shall wait till Manchester is compelled by dire necessity to give us a higher price, or set to work to reduce the cost of production the rate at Êd, to 3/8d. per ton per mile. Supposing it to cost at first ¾d. per ton to send cotton from Hinginghat, on the Godavery, to Coringa, a distance of 440 miles, the total expense will be about £1 7s. 6d. The cost of sending cotton to Calcutta from Jubbulpore via Mirzapore, which is a distance of 460 miles by land and 700 by river, is stated to be not less than £11 per ton. The difference between the two is so great as to be almost in credible. The whole of the northern bank of that

hed by the Government, is grown on the banks of the Wurdah, a tributary of the Godavery. We do not believe now, any more than we have ever done, that any engineering will remove the rocks which impede the navigation of the Godavery, so as to permit steamers to ascend its upper waters. But native boats find these rocks no impediment, and Captain Haig may succeed in opening the river to steamers by cutting his sixty miles of canal parallel with the most difficult parts of the channel. The Ohio river at Louisville is obstructed by rocks somewhat resembling those on the Godavery. Water communication was urgently wanted. A company was formed, and a lateral canal cut along the obstructed part at a cost of a million of dollars. In twelve years the whole capital was returned, besides interest. Sir. W. Denison, who has just returned from visiting the spot, should once for all settle this vexed Godavery question. Having by a wise policy now secured extensive trunk lines of railway, w

is hopelessly useless. Cotton cultivation in Portugal.[from the Annales du commerce Exterieur of Paris, Sept. 15.] It has been proved by repeated experiments that the cultivation of this important article would succeed, not only in the Portuguese settlement on the coast of Africa, but on certain parts of the Peninsula, particularly in the Algarves and Alemtigo. The maritime part of the former province, the lands of Almargem and Trofal in the cantons of Louie and Albuginea, and those of Ludo, in the canton of Faro, are mentioned as the best suited to the cotton plant. Some cotton grown in the last-named place figured in the Universal Exhibition of 1851. The land in the Algarves may be purchased at very moderate prices in consequence of the new law in Portugal, which allows in certain cases the sale of majorats, and the cultivation of cotton there would tend to retain in the country a great part of the laborers who now annually emigrate into Spain in search of employment.

e cotton-growing provinces, we must agree as to the cheapest mode of transport, and then consider how that may soonest be rendered available. However valuable railways may be as channels for the rapid conveyance of goods from one place to another, they will never absorb one-tenth of the traffic which the cotton trade must create. At present their rates are too high. Cotton is carried on the East Indian line for 1½d. per ton per mile; on the Great Indian Peninsula line for 1¾d., and on the Madras line for 1¼.--But Mr. Baziey stated in the House of Commons that he hoped the railways would not charge more than one-third of a penny per ton per mile on cotton making its way to the seaboard. Whatever be the cost, however, at which the railways can carry cotton, it is evident that for long distances railway carriage is too expensive, and that some other mode of conveyance must be looked for. The present native mode of land carriage is out of the question. The only other mode of conveyanc

At the same time, each account we receive from distant parts tends to show how every available bale from countries capable of producing the plant is likely to find its way to us. Moreover, although the Confederate States still assert that they will meet the blockade of the enemy by a self-imposed blockade, and not allow a pound of cotton to leave their territory, it is seen that this declaration does not harmonize with the last news — that at the taking of gurated by General Fremont in Missouri is to be adopted by the Federal Government, the war will then be one of Abolition, and in that case, whether peace be delayed or attained immediately, the production, not only of cotton, but of sugar, in the U.
