Low and Co.'s circ ular, dated Say mnah, Feb. 18 :—"Neither in Savannah nor Charleston have e ston is there any stock of S ea I s l an d or U p l an d cotton in s t ore of consequence. Since the war began both ros ld hhaav b a c e e sb u fe t n h a e e ir ed, and all the Sea Island which has place out of sent to the interior depots and villages, been o p r l planters any e 8 the reach of the enemy.

The Confederate Government has made extensive purchases of short stapled cotton altoebnet offered for sale in Europe, but we have heard pur chases by it of Sea Island. It is difficult to give an opinion which would be accurate as to the quantity of S a cotton which will be planted this st assn. Legislation has restricted the culture of cotton this season to three bales to the hand. A large proportion of the c)untry where this staple is grown under the control of and has been ravaged by the Federals. All the islands where the finer qualities are raised have been abandoned, and the production will be limited to the more inland counties yielding the quality styled "commons ;" under no circumstances can the quan tity be large (perhaps a third), and there is no bagging in which to pack it. Even when peace is obtained, and should agricultural industry return to its normal condition, it will be years before the quantity produced prior to the war can be obtained. Many planters have removed their negroes to more fertile lands in the interior and will turn their at tention to short staple, and, in all probability will no‘ re turn to the culture of Sea Island." ~,,. .:. ; N°. 22,090. 13, GREAT MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

Lord CHELMSe OltD rose to the attention of the house to the case of the removal of two judges of the Su preme Council of the United States of the lonian Islands, and for the purpose of moving for corret-pontlence and papers on the subject. The noble lord said it was advisable, if we were destined to break off our present con nection with the lonian Islands, to do so without leaving behind any remembrance which might have a had impression upon the inhabitants. The officers were removed without even the compliment of notice. The noble and learned lord then proceeded to give an outline of the constitution of the Islands to show the extreme injustice which had been in dicted upon two very able gentlemen. His case rested on the removal and not with the successors appointed in their places, but it was somewhat unfortunate that one of the members of the senate who assisted in the removal of the judges was appointed to the office. It had been remarked that the circumstances connected with the case justified the removal, but what those circum stances were he failed to discover. What he thought was due to the two gentlemen was a public avowal that it was not from any disqualification on their part that they had been removed, in order that no stigma might rest upon them. He trusted there would be no objection to the production of the correspondence he moved tor. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was surprised his noble friend had confined himself to only only point, espe cially as he had admitted that the proceedings had been legal. The noble and learned lord defended the principle of making all officers in the lonian Islands removable after five years' service, and although judges were generally re-elected in this case, it must not be considered illegal because that proceeding had not been carried out. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Evening, Tue SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time :--Inverness and Perth Junction Railway, and Wear Navigation and Sunderland Ducks. _ . --------- ---- WEST HARTLEPOOL HARBOUR AND RAIL- WAY BILL. On the order that this bill be read a third time, Mr. ROEBUCK said the house and the Board of Trade had been iirposod upon by the chairman of the company, Mr. Jackson, and that the bill would permit the public to be swindled. The lion. and learned gentleman adverted to a petition whioh he presented sometime ago to the house, and held that the allegations in it were strictly true, though the contrary was held by the hon. member for South Durham (Mr. Farrer). Mr. FARRER defended himself from the aspersions cast upon him by the hon. member. He took his stand upon public documents. The bill would be of public benefit, and an especial boon to the inhabitants. Mr. PEASE supported the bill. • The bill was then read a third time. The following bills were considered and read a third time :—Busby Railway; Ely Valley Extension (changed from " Ely Valley Extension Railways) ;" Furness Rail way Company and Barrow Harbour Commissioners ; Sowerby Bridge Local Board ; Tees Conservancy ; White haven, Cleator, and Egremont Railway ; and London and South Western Railway. Mr. MILLS gave notice that to-worrow, on the third reading, he should move that the bill be postponed for a month. THE COTTON DISTRESS. Colonel W. PATTEN presented a petition, signed by 6,000 operatives of Rochdale, praying the house to afford them aid to emigrate, as they could perceive no permanent means of occupation in the vicinity. REUNION. On the motion of Mr. CAVE, an address for copy of a letter from H B.M. Consul at Reunion, respecting natives of British India held to labour in that island, was agreed to. DOCKYARD SERVANTS. - Mr. FERRAND asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the board intended to comply with the memorial of the masters of dock and victualling craft for increase of pay, or to restore the pensions to their widows P Lord C. PAGET replied that the matter was definitively settled in 18 - 17, and that it was not therefore the intention of the Admiralty to again reopen it. But the Admiralty had under consideration whether it would not be well to dispense with '• craft" now, and to replace them by warrant officers, who might, if requisite, be called upon to fight for their country. BRITISH FISHING VESSELS IN FRENCH PORTS. Mr. BENTINCK asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether any, and if any, what steps had been taken by the Government for the re-adjustment of such articles in the Convention with France of 1843, as appeared to bear hardly upon our fishermen; and whether it was true that our fishing vessels frequent certain Ports in France for the sale of oysters; and whether the Convention of 1843 was not in contradiction with the Treaty f C )mmerce of 1860 on that point ? Mr. LAYARD replied that by arrangement with the French Government British fishing vessels were allowed to frequent French ports for the sale of oysters, and French oyster boats British ports, but it was found that this amounted to an infraction of the treaty, could not be done without a :pecial act of Parliament, consequently the per mission given had been withdrawn. GREECE. In reply to Mr. B. COCHRANE, Mr. LAYARD, stated that it was not usual to publish telegrams, and beside it would not be usual or convenient to lay on the table of the house the recent ,proceedings in Greece with respect to the election of Prince William whilst the negotiations were pending. DEPUTATION YESTERDAY TO EARL RUSSELL WITH RESPECT TO THE SEIZURE OF AME RICAN SHIPS. In reply to Mr. BFNTINCK, Mr. CRAWFURD stated, that the report of the inter view in the newspapers of this day was strictly correct, and the document perfectly correct. CHINA. In reply to Colonel SYKES, Mr. LAYARD replied that he had only that morning received some particulars with respect to the matter re ferred to. He could not yet tell whether guns lost were the property of her Majesty or not. It appeared that Capt. Holland had accompanied the expedition, which, he under stood, was a very foolish one, and it was well he did so. as the results would have been far more disastrous than reported. SUPPLY—HARBOURS OF REFUGE. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Sir F. SMITH moved that so much of the report of the Commissioners on Harbours of Refuge as applied to Wa terford, Wick, and Padstow bo carried into effect. The hon and gallant member urged, at some length, the propriety of losing no time in constructing these important harbours. (LEFT. SITTING.) THE VICTORIA CROSS.

If the combination of brilliant weather, large fields of horses, and plenty of company make a success for a race meeting, Mr. Dorling may congratulate himself upon hav ing achieved it. The recent rains had done something to soften the ground, but:still the dust flew as the horses came down the hill, and the going was by no means suited to:bad legs and feet. The experiment of railing off a portion of the lawn in front of the stand for the use of the members of Tattersall's and the Newmarket Rooms was watched with some interest It seemed to give satisfaction to those gen tlemen who do not bet very largely, and who therefore dis like a crowd, but a very large number of the business mem bers did not enter its precincts, and chose who wanted to in vest largely were obliged to seek them on the lawn itself. The success of Adventurer gave a lift to his stable com panion, National Guard, in the estimation of the public for the Derby, and he was at once sought after at 100 to 7. as the running here showed that Watson had made no mis take in the form of his stable. The winner had been quietly backed for some time at long odds for a great deal of money, and the gentlemen win a good stake on him. The double victory of Poland was fully expected, as he started at 2 to 1 against him in his first nee, and 6 to 4 on him for the second. He is a fine, slashing goer, and, judged by his performances hers, it is by no means certain that he is not quite Al. Molly Carew won with consummate ease, and still further confirmed the opinion generally formed, that she is the best two-yr-old yet out, From the delay in the starts for the City and Suburban and the Inkerman Plate, the sport was not concluded till six o'clock, but we rejoice to be able to observe that there was a marked im provement in the starting. For the former several horses were evidently not meant to take a prominent part in the race, and we think they might have been more disre garded than they were, as the slackness of their riders caused Mr. M•George to postpone the dropping of his flag much longer than there was any occasion for. But, considering the number of short races on the card to day, we think no oause of complaint could fairly be alleged. Very little betting took place on the great Newmarket and Derby events, the only changes of any consequence being quoted below. The Trial Stakes of 50 soya, added to a sweepstakes of 5 soya each, for 3-yr-olds, 7st llb; 4-yr-olds, Bst 71b; s.yr-olds, Bst 131 b , 6 .yr-olds and aged, 9st ; mares allowed 51b and geldings 31b.

This order was maintained till they crossed the road, where Buckenham went up to Argonaut, and between the two a fine race took place, Buckenham ultimately winning by a head, Necro mancer was a bad third, Gelert fourth, Jaco fifth, and Stanton sixth.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Poland, 3to 1 agst Libellous, sto 1 agst East Sheen, 10 to 1 agst Rapture, 100 to 8 agst Miss Emma. After one false start Libellous made play, followed by East Sheen, and the favourite, Virginia lying next, Rap ture and Miss Emma following abreast, with Briton some lengths in the rear. As they came down the hill Poland drew away from the ruck and went in an easy winner by six lengths, a head between second and third. Libellous was fourth, a neck behind Rapture. Miss Emma was fifth, Knight of the Bath sixth, Selection seventh, Briton was last but one, and Duchess of Kent tailed off. Imme diately after passing the post Knight of the Bath staggered and tell, throwing Adams heavily, bat not severely injur ing him.

Betting-7 to 4on Molly Carew. 10 to 1 agst Tomfoolery, 100 to 7 agst the Rataplan filly, 100 tc 6 each agst Nar bonne and Ackworth. An excellent start took place at the first attempt, Lady Warwick making play on the lower ground, clooely followed by Narbonne, Ackworth, Confederate, and Tomfoolery, the rest well up, with the favourite in the middle. About a quarter of a mile from home the favourite came through her horses, and won with great ease by three quarters of a length. Diomed was second on sufferance, beating Nar. bonne by a head. The Rataplan colt was a bad fourth, and Confederate fifth. The rest came in in straggling order, not being persevered with. The City and Suburban Handicap of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and only 5 if declared on or before Feb. 3,with 100 added, winners extra, the second to receive 25 sow out of the stakes.

Betting-7 to 2 agst Gardener, 4to 1 agst Catch 'em Alive, 6 to 1 agst Adventurer, 20 to 1 each agst Oberon, Asteroid, and Comet, 25 to 1 each agst Merry Maid and Canary, 33 to 1 each agst General Hess, Umpire, Queen of Spain, and Summerside, 40 to 1 agst Turn of Luck, 50 to 1 agst Lapidist, 66 to 1 eget Cairncastle, Beachy Head, Ama zonian, and Weatherspy. After several failures, the early ones caused by the frac tiousness of Middlewatch, and the latter by the evident re luctance of several jockeys to come to the post, the lot got away on good terms. Adventurer at once made play, fol lowed by Umpire, Catch 'em Alive, and Newchurch to the top of the hilt, where Catch 'em Alive, took up the running, Umpire also heading Adventurer, who came on third, Oberon fourth, Newchurch lying fi th on the inside, with Escape, Gardener, and Mr. Payne's filly close up. Next to these, with a slight interval, followed the nick, at the head of which were Lapidist and General Hess, the last of all being Sum merside, Amazonian, and Barbadoes. On passing the mile • post Adventurer again went in front, and headed Catch 'em Alivo, the two coming on by themselves, followed at a short distance by Umpire, who was next the lower rails, New church, Spencer, and Comet heading the next division. As they came on towards the stand there was a regular melee among the second lot of horses, and Umpire soon atter wards, making his effort, closed with Adventurer, who hung a little to him, and Noble complained of a cross. It was evident, however, that the winner was full of running, and it was only in consequence of his being eased that he gave the semblance of going out of his line. The two went on apparently locked together, but Umpire on being called on died away every stride, while Adventurer went in a clever winner by a neck, though evidently capable of in creasing the distance considerably. General Hess was two lengths from Umpire, Comet fourth, and Overton fifth. After the race an objection was lodged against the rider of Adventurer by Mr. Ten Brueck, but it was overruled by the stewards, after hearing evidence on the question. The London-bridge Stakes of 5 says each, with 50 soya added by the Brighton Railway Company; for 2-yr-olds and. upwards ; weight for age. The winner to be sold. Three-quarters of a mile.

At length they got off pretty well, Virginia making running, closely fol lowed by Poland, Don't Come Late, and Tarragona. At the foot of the hill the favourite drew away from his horses, and won easily by three lengths; four lengths separating the second and third; Maubourquet was fourth and David Ann fifth, the rest not being perseverd with. POLAND. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CRACOW, APRIL 13. The insurrection continues to gain strength, and Russia, though exerting herself to the utmcst, seems powerless to make head against it. The ap pointment of Gen. Berg, as the virtual successor of the Grand Duke' Constantine, shows that the Em peror is not satisfied with the Panslavist experi ments of his brother, and that he has determined to throw off the mask, and openly, in defiance of Europe, to carry out his policy of extermination in Poland. The task will, however, be a difficult one. Every village that is burnt by the troops will add a new contingent to the insurgents; and every insur gent that is murdered in cold blood will render the resistance of the others more desperate. This kind of retribution has already fallen in a very striking manner on Russia. In the hope that by raising a partial insurrection she would obtain a pretext for eradicating the disturbing element in the coun try, she began the conscription ; but the giant of revolution she thereby evoked not only baffled her plans, but now threatens her very existence in Europe. Fearful of the spread of the insurrection to Lithuania, she imprisoned 6GO nobles of that pro vince; but the effect of this measure was only to spread alarm and disgust among the rest of the inhabitants, and nowhere does the flame of revolu tion rage so fiercely as in Lithuania. And now the appointment of General Berg and the sequestration of the property of the instil gents has only served to fan the flame, and by rendering forfeiture and per secution the consequences of submission, to leave no alternative to Poland but continued and despe rate resistance. The fighting of the last 'week has been spread pretty equally over the whole of the Congress King dom ( which is literally overrun with insurgents) and in Lithuania. On the 4th 500 Russian infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks attacked 150 Poles under Oxinski in the district of VVielun. The battle lasted four hours, and ended with the retreat of both sides. The Poles lost ten killed and two prisoners. Among the killed were several who had been wounded and taken prisoner by the Russians during the battle, and who after the battle were tortured to death, the Cossacks tearing out their bowels with the point of their lances. A large number of Russians fell be fore the accurate and effective fire of the Poles. On Easter Sunday 230 Polish rifles and 32 uhlans under Grekowicz, encountered a large body of Russians at Szklara, near the Galician frontier. The Poles were on a hill, and the Russians occupied another hill with oome cottages at its foot. A company of rifles, led by a French Zouave, began the battle by attempting to dislodge the Russians from these cottages. A storm of bullets was at once directed upon them by the Russians on the hill, but nearly all missed ; and the Poles, ad vancing under cover of the trees, captured the cottages with the loss of but one or two men. The struggle in these cottages was a fierce one, and mar yof the Russians were killed. While this was going on in the valley, the Polish rifles on the hill, most of whom were excellent shots, directed a mur derous fire on the Russians opposite, who at length wavered and fled. The Poles then took up their wounded, and sent them across the frontier, where the Austrians took charge of them. They had scarcely done this when they were attacked by another body of Russians, who, however, were also forced to retire after a determined struggle. They lost at least 100 men ; the Poles had 9 killed and 20 wounded, among the latter of whom was their leader. Next day the Russians approached them in such force that the insurgents thought it advis. able to disperse. They have, however, since re appeared in another part of the country. CRACOW, April 11. M. Srzanowski, the editor of the Czas, was ar rested this morning. Thirty-one Frenchmen, who were about to cross the frontier to join the insur gents, have also been' seized and imprisoned. M. Bentkowski, who until the breaking out of the insurrection represented one of the districts of Posen in the Prussian Chamber, and who acted in L'ingiewicz's army as chief of the Staff, is still con fined in the castle. Like Langiewicz, he is a Prus sian subject, and was for some time an officer in the Prussian Artillery, which he left in 1848 to join the Hungarian insurrection. Most of the arrests which are now made every day in Cracow are said to be the result of denuncia tions from the Russian Ambassador atVienna, based upon the reports of Russian spies resident here. Every now and then a Russian spy is caught and beaten. This was the fate of one the day before yesterday. Another was chased about the market place for a little while, but having long legs as well as long eats he made good running and ultimately got off. A third, after receiving a few blows, was discovered not to be a spy at all, but only a person who, from a natural and ill-regulated thirst for in formation, had acquired a habit of going into cafes and listening to remarks not addressed to him. It is said now that Langiewicz's camp was much infested Ey spies, and that his halting place for the night, the direction he took in commencing a march, &c., were always made known by means of shots fired eff as if by accident. A spy who followed the army at a distance of some few hundred yards un derstood the signals, and transmitted the news to the Russian camp. One of the numerous stories current as to Langiewicz's arrest attributes the dis covery of his identity to the agency of a spy, who contrived to follow him without being observed, and told the Austrian gendarmes what an important prisoner they had allowed to escape them while he was still within reach. The Dictator appears him - self to have suspected that spies might be on his track. The greater portion of the troops formerly un der Langiewicz are now once more in the field.

The Ellora, which arrived here this morning from Gibraltar, brings the following detailed ac count of the events which have recently taken place in the vicinity of Dar-el. Baioar Easahlanca : In the hostilities that have been for some time carried on between the tribes there are ranged on one side the three tribes of Zee3 da, Senate, and Wolidzian, and on the other the tribe Medioona. The first-named tribes are under the orders of Ben niasheesh. One account says that the cause of hos tilities was the refusal of the Medioona tribe to pay the heavy contribution imposed on them by the Sultan. Whether this were so, or whether the fighting originated in a private quarrel amongst the tribes, it is certain that now the Medioonese are treated as enemies in revolt against the Sultan's authority, and the three tribes fight ing against them have the Sultan's warrant for their act, his officer Boabeed Sherghee,who was sent down to arrange the matter, being in the camp and acting in concert with their united tribes under Benmasheesh. To understand the position of the inhabitants of Dar•el-Baida it must be mentioned that the Medioona tribe, being in the immediate vicinity of the town, has furnished the chief portion of its Moorish inhabitants. The sympathies of these are naturally strongly excited in behalf of their tribe, which has been maintaining a contest against odds, and has been driven under the very walla of the town. On March 28 a contest took place just outside the walls. The movements on both sides could be seen from the flat roofed houses. About 1,200 were engaged on this occasion, and the Medi oona tribes succeeded in driving off their assailants. On the 30th the inhabitants of Dar-el-Baida were again alarmed by seeing all the neighbouring hills covered with horsemen clustered as thick as bees. The poor Medioonese were given up as lost, as it seemed impossible that they could resist the host mustered against them. The attack was made with great fury. The excite ment in the town was at the highest pitch. The native inhabitants, from the cause we have men tioned, are all sympathisers with the Medioonese, and men and women crowded the walls cheering on their tribe and waving handkerchiefs and flags. The field of battle must have presented a singu lar appearance; the wives of the persecuted tribe followed their husbands up to the enemy, with their babies slung over their backs, and beating tom-toms to keep the warlike fury of their husbands at the proper point of excitement. The belief that the Medionese must be overpowered became so general that their friends inside got pickaxes, and were preparing to make a hole in the wall on the side where the battle raged, in order to let in the fugi tives one by one without the danger of their pur suers following and taking the town by a rush. The prospect of having 2,000 or 3,000 wild Arabs in the town, even if their pursuers were kept out and the fight were not renewed in the streets, degenerating into indiscriminate plun der and bloodshed, was sufficiently alarm ing, but fortunately the repeated cavalry charges were successfully resisted, and the day ended by the assailants retreating to the hills. As each succeeding attack seemed to press the Medioonese more severely, and the danger of the town was only averted for the time, but not re moved, the British Vice-Consul, Mr. Wooldridge, volunteered to seek an interview with the Sultan's officer, Boabeeb, and urge him to post pone all further proceedings against the offending tribe until the result of a representation to the Sultan should be known. A letter was accordingly despatched to Boabeeb appointing a place of meeting at a small river between the two hostile camps, and on the 31st at six in the morning the Vice-Consul proceeded to the spot under an escort of four soldiers provided by the Kaid. The conference was a hurried one, and Lot unattended by danger, for when Boabeeb, with 30 cavalry, was seen descending to the place of meeting, the Medioonese construing the movement into a hostile one, sent out a body of cavalry to meet him. Boabeeb therefore halted at some distance from the place of meeting, and des patched a soldier to enquire the object of the party which had followed the Vice Consul. The Medioona cavalry consented to retire out of range, but the hostile Arabs remained in sight of each other, and Haggi Boabeeb expressed his fears that unless the conference were a short one he should not be able to restrain the Wolidzean from coming on. On the return of the British Vice- Consul to the town, the representatives of the other European Powers hastened to learn the result of the interview. It was understood that Boa beeb had declined at first to grant any delay in executing the orders of the Sultan to chas tise the Medioona, but upon its being urged upon him that he was not authorised, in the execution of those orders, to endanger the safety of one of the Sultan's towns and the lives and property of the Christians and Europeans in it, thereby embroiling his master with foreign Powers, and that he should delay operations till further orders from the Sul tan, Boabeeb said he would take time to consider and consult with Benniasheesh, and send in the reply in the afternoon. The reply was duly re ceived and made known to the Europeans in Dar el-Baida. It was from Benniasheesh, whose autho rity appears to be superior to that of Boabeeb, and was as follows : " The Sultan has given me orders to slay, chase, exterminate, and eat up the Medioonese ; and I will slay, chase, exterminate, and eat up the Medioonese until none remain, no matter what are the conse quences. I will not stop until I receive counter orders from the Sultan." Up to April 4 no further attack had been made, but it was as,.erted that Benniasheesh was collecting his forces for another fight. A formal protest by the consuls had been sent to him, and his reply had been received. He had offered to suspend hostilities on certain conditions, which the consuls could not accept. In the meantime representations have been made to Sir John Hay, who is now at Morocco, transacting business with the Sultan, and his intervention will no doubt lead to the requisite orders being sent to respect the safety of Dar-el-Baida. Prac tically the same object has been already attained by the presence of ber Majesty's steam sloop Trident, and probably other vessels of war, from which men would be landed in case of neces sity to man the walls and keep out the barbarous tribes.
