This Company is established to procure, by a system of direct dealings with the cotton growers of India, an increase in the importation of Indian Cotton into this country, an improvement in its quality, and greater freedom from adulteration. The average quotation of good Broach and Dhollera cotton on the 31st December, 1860, was qd., and there is every reason to conclude that the carefully prepared shipments of the company, wholly free from adulteration, would obtain en hanced rates. The well known statistics of the cotton trade give reasonable expectations that a profit of 15 or :20 per cant. may be realised. It is intended to commence the operations of the Company in Guzerat. To command the cotton supplies of this exten sive territory, including Kattywar, it is proposed to place the head-quarters at Broach, on the Nerbudda river, with agencies at G ogo, a fine seaport on the west coast of the Gulf of Cam bay, at Dhollera, a seaport creek, and at Dhurdooka, 45 miles inland, a large town and a central point for numerous cotton districts.

THE GREAT SOCIAL MYSTERY.—The recent change in the law of Separation and Divorce has raised up a new problem which taxes the ingenuity of social philosophers to solve. In a nation so renowned as this for the sanctity of its domestic tics, it appears unaccountable that so many marriages, contracted under circumstances apparently auspicious, should result in sorrow, disgust, and degradation, and that this should occur even to those who before wedlock had passionate:y loved each other. It the inquirers into the cause of this mystery had consulted the great book of nature, instead of dwelling on conventional theories, they might probably have had less difficulty in arriving at the truth. Have they ever sufficiently considered how much these constant revelations of unhappy marriages may be connected wlth a peculiar INFLUENCE, frequently originating in corrupt associations at college, or at school, and the pernicious effects of which, tco often unsuspected by medical men, poison the very well-springs of life, and produce many of the disappointments witnessed in the connubial state. It is a matter that deeply concerns the well-being of thou sands who have no idea of the danger that threatens them. Every person of intelligence should ask himself whether there be not something in his past life which admits of the possi bility that he himself may be concerned, either at present or prospectively, in the subject. Science and experience, founded on professional study, have happily discovered effectual means of relief ; but it is important that care be taken in selecting the quarter from whence assistance is sought. Dr. LA'MERT is the only legally qualified practitioner on the Medical Register who for 20 years has exclusively devoted himself to the treatment of a peculiar class of infirmities incidental to youth and maturity.

BONA- A letter from Paris dated Friday evening says : —" I have this moment left the court where the great case of Paterson v. Bonaparte is going on. Berryer—the illustrious Berryer, who was called to the bar just fifty years ago—spoke for four hours and a half without a moment's interruption. I speak literally : the court did not rise for refresh ment until he had done, at about half-past three o'clock. I came away with great regret in the midst of M. Allou's speech for Prince Napoleon in order to send you these hurried lines by this even ing's post. I must assume that by the publications made in London you are already familiar with the leading facts of the case, and in attempting to give a sketch of the tenor of the arguments used today I shall touch principally upon those points which prior statement■ seem to leave in need of explanation.“ may at once say that the question whether Jerome Bonaparte, when he married Miss Paterson, was 19 or 22, is admitted on both sides to be unimportant. It is clear that the new law of March, 1803, which altered the provisions of that of 1792, was known in the United States at the time of his marriage, that he was bound by the new law, and was even affected by express notice of it given him by M. Pichon, then the French charge d'affaires at Wash ington, who did his utmost to prevent the marriage from taking place. It is equally clear that by this new law he was a minor so long as he was under the age of 25, and that his marriage as a French subject could not regularly be solemnised without the consent of his surviving parent (Madame Le tizia,'Bonaparte), which consent M. Berryer admits there is no proof that he ever obtained. The new law also provided that a marriage of a French subject abroad should be preceded by the pub lication of banns in France, and that, it is admitted, was done in the present case. The two great questions are-Ist. Whether the mar - • riage was void, or only voidable; and 2d, Supposing it to be voidable only, whether the pro test against the marriage which Madame Letizia Bonaparte was made to sign by Napoleon I. was good in form, as being a reclamation in the sense of the code, and made in time in accordance with the provision that it should bo made " within twelve months" of the time when the parties, whose con sent was requisite for a regular marriage, "had knowledge" of the fact of the marriage having taken place. lam disposed to think, judging from the tenor of the commencement of M. Allou's speech that he himself will not, as a lawyer, lay any great stress upon the various shameful and self-contra dictory devices which Napoleon I. resorted to in order to have the marriage annulled both civilly and religiously. The assumption in the defendant's written pleadings that the matter has been decided by " sovereign power," may, I already feel per suaded, be dismissed, as M. Berryer dismisses it, as "idle and devisory." The true questions, I repeat, are-1. Whether the marriage was void ab initio, and 2. Whether, supposing it to be only voidable, it was voided in legal form and in proper time. . The court to-day was as full as it could possibly hold. Some tickets for reserved places had been given by the President, but a considerable space was still left when the doors were opened, for a rush by young barristers and the general public. There was no attempt to pack the audience, and many who had the patience to wait for two or three hours at the door for admission, met with the reward which they deserved. The proceedings were opened by M. Legrand avoue for Mrs. Elizabeth Paterson, presenting the following con clusions : That it may please the tribunal to declare the marriage contracted on Dec. 24, 1803, between the late Prince Jerome and Elizabeth Paterson valid. And also to take judicial cognisance (donner acte) that M. Bonaparte, while demanding that the marriage of De cember 24, 1803, may be declared valid, has never had any intention to contest, and does not now contest, the civil and political effects of the union contracted in 1807 by his father with the Princess Catherine of Wertemburg. M. Berryer, in his exordium, said : The high authority of justice, whose majesty should everywhere, and always, be respected, is a guarantee that I will introduce no matter foreign to the cause. The crowded state of the court is to me a warning that, far from seeking to gratify vain curiosity, I must confine myself to the strict discussion of the legal question. I will abridge as far as possible the statements already before you in my written memorial—a memorial not published prematurely or containing statements which can possibly be contested. (This was in answer to a recent paragraph in the Moniteur.) My client, Madame Paterson. the divorced wife and now the widow of the late Prince Jerome Napoleon, has waited nearly sixty years for this day, and now, faithful to the conduct from which she has never swerved, she crosses the Atlantic at the age of 75, and is hero before you to ask the justice of a French court. In recapitulating the facts of the case, as stated in the memorial, M. Berryer dwelt at great length upon the recognition of M. Bonaparte by all the imperial family during a long series of years as their relation, arguing from this fact that notoriety, in accord ance with the register of his baptism was, in the terms of the code, indisputable evidence of his status, as a legitimate child. Ho exposed the flagrant contradic tion of the imperial proceedings in pretending to judge by a " family council"—a speoial tribunal, which con fessedly had no jurisdiction, except over members of the imperial family—that M. Bonaparte was no member of it. Ho laboured at great length to show that the marriage in question, although objected to at the time by the French charge d'Affaires, was not " clandestine," or made " in fraud of the French law ;" that it was only voidable for want of proper publications and the maternal consent ; that no legal step was ever taken to set the marriage aside, and that the first Napoleon's desperate attempts to treat the marriage as void—his repeated decrees, containing implied admissions that all his former acts against the marriage had been efficacious—his correspondence with the Popo, who refused to annul the marriage--and his rejection of the legal opinion of the Arch-Chancellor Cambaceres, whose advice he asked : all showed the knowledge of Napoleon I. that nothing but ajudicial decision—which it was now too late to ask for—could set the marriage aside. He concluded by expressing his belief that the judgment of the court would confirm him in that respect for the bench which he had cherished through a long life. M. Allou—a fluent and very good speaker, and a first-rate advocate, although comparatively little H known—opened the case for Prince Napoleon• e was bold enough to say that the eloquent advocate opposed to him had very little ho p es of winning his cause. The case was overlaid with romance, which, from the lapse of time, it was difficult to refute. While speaking most respectfully of Mi ss Paterson and her family, he could not help saying the Acts of the case bore out the statement to be (/ PRICE 4D . STAMPED, SD, PARIS, 1860. ENV S 17. AP E R cZ; jaffiffreli-ILIVEPRTIIPETTR"./. OF "1 r ' On Saturday the annual meeting of the proprie tors of Drury-lane Theatre was held in the saloon for the transaction of the usual business. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Esq., in the chair. Mr. FLADGATE, the secretary, read the report of the committee, which stated that the receipts of the year, including the balance of £293 13s. Bd., on the 31st Dec:, 1859, and the sum of £4,500 paid by the lessee in respect of rent, amounted to £5,227 18s. 9d. The payments amount to £4,839 4s. 11d., leaving a cash balance at the bankers of £3BB 13s. 10d. The payments comprise the sum of £1,990 15s. Bd., for six quarters' rent, paid to the Duke of Bedford, and a sum of £1,050 paid to the trustees of the new renters. The architect's report was also read, and was of a satisfactory nature. The reports having been received and adopted, the retiring members of the committee were re elected. The sub-committee were elected, and thanks were passed to the auditors for their services. Mr. ARDEN said he had no doubt that the pro prietors would excuse him for prolonging their business fora few moments while he paid a debt of thanks and gratitude to Mr. Smith, the lessee, for the way in which he had carried on the manage ment of the theatre during the past year. Mr. Smith had, to the best of his ability, sustained the theatre, and with so many and numerous irons he had in the fire he was almost surprised that some of them did not burn him, but he trusted the last of them that might do so would be Drury-lane Theatre. He moved that the thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Smith, the lessee. Lord W. LENNOX seconded the motion, stating that Mr. Smith had raised the character of the theatre by putting plays on the stage in a manner worthy of a great concern like Drury-lane Theatre, and in pullet.. Hy paying his rent Mr. Smith had. set an example which had never been set before. The motion was then unanimously agreed to. SlifITH, the less e e, thanked Mr. Arden for M t the T. in aywhich he had ;pig:posed_ the - vote of thanks to him, and the proprietors for having agreed to it, and said that as it would be his study to discharge every obligation to the committee and the proprietors, he hoped to receive their confidence. He thanked the committee for the very favourable state the theatre was in at the present time, and for the courtesy they had at all times shown hint when he was Unable to carry out all he could have wished in consequence of the weather, and the state of business not being what they had a right to ex pect at the present moment, For eight years he had discharged every obligation, and with respect to fresh talent, it was very difficult to find parties who were disengaged to take the position on the stage which was necessary; He had had Mr. Chas. Mathews, and had now engaged Mr. C. Kean. Mr. and Mrs. C. Mathews would shortly appear in a new piece, and Mr. G. Brooke would also appear on his return from Australia. He was besides ready to engage any other talent that might come in the way and offer the largest amount for it, both for the in terest of the theatre and amusement of the public. Lord TENTERDEN moved that the best thanks of the meeting be given to the chairman for the able manner in which he had conducted their proceed ings, which was seconded by Mr. Arden, and car ried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting was dissolved. LA TOLOGNE E 2 SON DROIT, PAR J. VILBORT, Paris is at this moment deluged with pamphlets. The liberty of the Press, deprived of its ordinary vent, takes refuge in other channels, and seems to breathe more freely in foreign than in domestic questions. The pamphlet be fore us proceeds from the able pen of Mr. J. Vilbort, one of the editors of l' Opinion Nationale, and is alike creditable to his heart and to his understanding. The story of the three partitions of Poland is, however, a thrice-told tale, and needs no eloquence to preserve, revive, or confirm the in • delible impressions which it has left on the public morals of Europe. Might had more than once trampled upon right before the partition of Poland ; but in no previous instance had usurpation been perpetrated in so cynical, and withal so hypocritical a form. The fable of the Wolf and the Lamb is the history of Poland; and the original precedent of that reckless career of ambition, which has ever since that precedent been continually tampering with territorial limits at so vast an expense of blood and treasure. The most eminent statesmen of every country, with Burke and Fox at their head, Tories, Whigs, and Radicals, have all denounced the crime and foretold its consequences—con sequences which are still far from being exhausted. A new treatise upon such a subject looks much like a lecture on the sound of every letter of the alphabet before an audience better able to read and writs than even Monsieur Jourdain, and more conscious than he was that they were making prose all their lives. Nevertheless, in the midst of the hurry, excitement, and confusion of so many conflicting interests peculiar to our times, the repetition of elementary truths is not, perhaps, a waste of time, and on this ground the tract of Mr. Vilbort is not unworthy of notice. But the fact is that the rights of Poland have passed the stage of discussion; and the question is not whether her restoration would be an act of justice, but whether it is practicable, and by what means it is to be brought about. The aspect of things is not at present encouraging, and although in the long run principles will prevail over facts, one cannot be blind to the fact that "yes Bros battail lons are at this moment on the side of autocracy. The eons of liberty, however, resemble the Spanish guerillas in this respect, that though they may be vanquished when they imprudently venture on a pitched battle, they yet seo the strongest armies melt before their desultory tactics. It is from some moral combination of this sort we look to the future restitution of the rights of Poland,—not but what in the present confused and anomalous state of the Continent a Polish question may be started to-morrow, along with twenty one and a half other questions, which one government may start against another; or one or more people start against their own government. We see despotism or anarchy in some of the fairest regions of the world, liberty scarcely anywhere abroad, and cannot forget that liberty was the vital air of Poland. We should regret for the Poles, if at this, or at any future time they placed their faith and hope in foreign assistance. Eighty years of cruel experience ought to teach them a lesson upon that point. National independence and freedom to be safe must come from within, and diplomacy may be resorted to, only to cheer their popu lar efforts, 'and to confirm vindicated rights. Europe is more interested in the restoration of Poland than is com monly imagined. That colossal monster called the Russian Empire is twelve times larger than France. It rules over 2,142,504 square miles in Europe, and leaves only 1,687,625 square miles to the rest of the European world. Its popu lation is 70 millions, and exceeds that of Germany added to France. Russia could easily feed as large a population as that of China, and in less than half a century she will hold one hundred millions. But the Russians are more hardy and warlike than the Chinese, and as roving and predatory in their habits as their ancestors, or allies, the Tartars. Add to all this that Russia is ruled by an autocrat, both in the State and in the Church. the natural chief of the Sclavonic race—a race of 100 millions —from the Frozen Sea to the shores of the Adriatic. After the successive failures of Charlemagne, Louis XI V., and Napoleon 1., the idea of one universal monarchy is looked upon as the chimera of madmen. But the rail and the electric telegraph have nearly annihilated distance. Peters burg might now govern Constantinople, or Constantinople govern Petersburg, as easily as London governs Dublin !,r. Edinburgh. Either this will come to pass, or Poland o. w' a i s i be restored. We venture upon this predietriornevin t 'deuce actually y iev at prophets of the future, which is the secret retoPtlnecillemnellseceserP:oe western Europe alone, but as attentive observers of c h a eta use se O e f i : e c s tu a be work under our eyes.

When WO speak of the restoration of Poland, we are not doing 00 i n the spirit of antiquarian geography. Conces sions o f vital importance to her must be made to Prussia on the Vistula, to Austria on some parts of her frontiers, nay, even to Russia in the north. What we maintain is that the vast bulk of the Russian empire must bo broken towards the south and the west, and an independent State erected out of the fragments, having for its nucleus a consider able part of ancient Poland. The independence of the west is to be found only in some such scheme. But we should be shallow and supercilious politicians, and bely that policy of peace which is the spirit of this journal, if we undertook to preach, in the present state of Europe, a new crusade against Russia, a crusade to which no act of aggression on the part of Russia is in any way inviting the world. The policy of the reigning Czar seems, indeed, more fit to inspire the confidence than to arouse the jealousy of Christendom; and according to every probability, the question which we aro hypothetically discussing here is reserved for a distant epoch. It would scarcely be fair to attack Russia, not for what she is doing, but for what she might at some future indefinite time feel inclined to attempt; nor would it be good taste to heap curses upon her by anticipation, for "curses," says an Asiatic proverb, " are like chickens, they return home to roost." What we would impress on the mind of Europe is, neither to despise nor to forget the importance of Po• land, nor turn a deaf ear and a cold shoulder, when she implores the moral support of the West in behalf of stipu lations to which the West is a party, bound in honour and in good policy to support, advocate, and justify. rtThe recent cold weather has had the of feet e killing an immense quantity of bee' infurl around Zzeter, p-A- \ -... \\,,, ~..es •:;%;-.Z ;,:\ ~.., , :-- r- - '!ltsri'-; ) vil, 9 Aqke, S a, GREAT MARLBOROUGH-STREET, W., NEAR THE PANTHEON.

If the threatened dissolution of the United States should be actually consummated, its citizens will enjoy a singular opportunity of contemplating, at the very crisis of their destinies, the magnitude and splendour of the political fabric which they have just destroyed. The year of the Secession was also the year of the Census. At the moment that the Federal Government was receiving the envoys of independent Carolina it was receiving also the re turns of population and progress from the several States of the Union. F or th e e i g h t h t i me on l y s i nce the origin of the Confederacy, an d ye t f or th e l as t time, perhaps, in its history, the grea t R epu bli c h as taken stock o f its people. It h as num b ere d an d classified its citizens, counted its gains, and put its growth upon record, and now it seems as if it were resolved on terminating its existence. If it does it will die in a blaze. Its progress has outstripped even the speculations of its own rulers. Ten years ago, at the taking of the seventh Census, some Americans sate down to calculate the probable num bers of the population in 1860, just as a thrifty trader on balancing his accounts will indulge him self in computing the prospective accumulations of alsah a anyping cc hp hAs jES; titiaco-m-lcd. They made out that the United States would contain at the period which has now arrived an aggregate population of 31,095,535. The reckoning has ac tually been verified, and with a little to spare. The numbers are 31,374,856. Nothing like suchgrowth has ever been witnessed in the old States of Europe. The increase during the decade has been upwards of 8,000,000; the per centage 35. Our own country has made great strides, considering the numbers who emigrate, but we can only show such a percentage of increase in very rare instances, upon insignificant areas, and under spe cial conditions. Of all the counties of England and Wales two only during the present century have grown at this rate, and those are the contiguous shires of Monmouth and Glamorgan. In the year 1801 they contained togethei about 115,000 people. They now contain some 400,000, and Merthyr Tydvil can account probably for a good deal of the result. The gross increase, however, of the entire population was never like 35 per cent. in a decade; in fact, it was never half as much. At the last Census it was between 12 and 13 per cent. for the whole of Great Britain. In a few months' time we shall again be able to survey our progress, but it will certainly not approach the American rate, however satisfactory it may prove. The statistics of the provincial returns are in some cases perfectly astounding. Not only single cities, but whole States, have actually doubled their numbers, and Chicago has all but quadrupled its population. In 1850 it contained less than 30,000 inhabitants; it now contains nearly 110,000. The State of New York has increased by about 800,000, Pennsylvania by 600,000, Massachusetts by 400,000, and Illinois by little short of a million. In the North-West the progress has been extraordinary. The three States of Michigan, Wisconsin, and lowa hardly contained between them more inhabitants in 1850 than Wisconsin alone contains at the present time. lowa, in particular, had a population of 192,214 in 1850, whereas it now numbers its 676,435 souls. The Americans carry into these reckonings a spirit of rivalry which is quite amus ing. They poll their populations as they do their electors, and look for the returns of the enumerators as we do for the declaration of the Mayor on the day after a tremendous contest between Whig and Tory. The recent Census happened to place Cin cinnati 2,119 below St. Louis on the great national poll. Its citizens protested against the return, demanded a scrutiny, and instituted a private census of their own to test the official figures. Their pro ceedings resulted in a decisive victory. They dis covered that they had been underrated by 11,233 inhabitants, and pulled down accordingly the majority of St. Louis with a good 8,000 to spare. it will not surprise any one to learn that the Southern States are left in arrear by the Northern in these statistics ; but the contrast is not quite so strong as it appears to be at first sight. The South- West makes progress, just as the North-West does, and for the same reason—that the push of the whole population is westward. Still, Pennsylvania and New York have not fared like Virginia. Virgi nia began in 1790 by heading the whole list of the States in the numbers of its population ; in 1850 it had dropped to the fourth place, and another place has been lost by the returns just made. North Carolina was originally fourth in the list, and South Caroline seventh ; they were tenth and fourteenth respectively in 1850, and are now perhaps lower still. On the other hand, Georgia had risen from twelfth to ninth, and Missouri from twenty-second to thirteenth. There can be no doubt, however, about the general superiority of vigour attaching to the Free States of the Union. A catalogue has been formed of 21 great towns qualified by their numbers and importance to form a species of first class, and of these 15 exclude Slavery, and 6 only admit it. Of the whole list, too, one town' s onlyihas shown an actual decline since 1350, and that one is Charleston, the seat of the present revolt. The increase in the number of slaves is not quite so great as it was between 1840 and 1850, though greater than it had been between 1830 and 1840. It amounts to about 600,000. A single entry of apparently slight importance in the statistics before us explains the whole of that struggle between North and South which now threatens such formidable consequences. The " population of the Territories" is set down alto gether at 384,856—n0t much above that of the single city of Brooklyn, and less than that of Phila delphia, but the area of the country thus thinly occupied is little, if at all, less than the aggregate area of all the organised States of the Union. By whom, then, are these magnificent opportunities of expansion to be enjoyed ? What people are to pos sess these boundless chances of growth ? " We," say the citizens of the North—" We will not allow that any new State of this glorious Union shall be infected with the taint of Slavery. W New soil' shall be free soil. e will not interfere with the institutions which time has sanctioned in the States where they still exist, but we will never permit the evil to spread." What, however, does such a declaration mean ? It is sincerely uttered, we verily believe, and Eng lishmen will never gainsay its justice or propriety ; but in its political import it cuts off the South from all prospect, not only of popular growth, but of poiltical preponderance. It would isolate the Southern States, and leave them, unless they chose gradully to abolish slavery, to die out, as it were, in comparison with the expansive communities around them. They could only avail themselves of the new territories by foregoing their " peculiar institution" and discarding their ":property." To tell them that they may share the common privi lege of Ameriean citizens of migrating to new homes, but that they must leave their slaves be hind, is something like telling a - Western settler that he may go into the backwoods, but that he mnst not take his axe with him. They protest accordingly, and are ready to secede and even to fight, not for their possessions, for those are not likely to be molested, but for the freedom of pro gress and colonisation ~which their adversaries would deny them. The answer, however, to this specious plea is obvious. Slavery is, in very truth, a thing hateful and abominable. It is a disgrace to any country, and the Northern people are perfectly justifi . d . ;r; their requisition that if it cannot be within the limits of the American Union it t least not be extended. If, therefore, the S States persist in maintaining such uaonn They they are answerable for the consa?firs;.
