Foreign-ofsos, Nov. 5.

Sir,—l am directed by Earl Russell to state to you, for the
information of the Manchester Cotton Supply Association,
that his lordship has received a report from the United
States to the following effect, viz.:—That, at the corn.
mencemen of the civil war, the whole amount of cotton in
the South was about 4,200,000 bales ; that about 1,000,000
bales are supposed to have been destroyed, and that another
1,000,000 will have been irreparably injured from not having
been properly ginned, baled, and stored, and that conse-
quently, when allowance is made for the small portion which
by one means or other has found its way into the market,
the quantity that would be forthcoming if the ports were to
be opened immediately would not exceed 2,000,000 of bales.
As regards the crop of 1862, which is not yet picked, it is
not estimated at more than one million of bales, and even
this small amount will probably be so reduoed from the dif-
ficulty of obtaining labour for pi.king, and hemp and other
necessary materials for baling and storing, that the supply
for the market will be trifling. As regards hemp, however,
it appears that a good deal is to be obtained from the Blue
Grass Region of Kentucky. It is stated that, if the war
should continue, the land in 1863 will be cultivated for corn
and not for cotton, and that under any circumstances it
would take the cultivators of cotton some time to recover
from the state of disorganisation into which that cultivation
has been thrown.-1 am, sir, your most obedient humble
servant, G. RL.IOIIOIIID.

I have been in the cotton business upwards of 16 years,
both as a raiser and seller. 1 understand all about the cul-
tivation of the plant—ginning, pressing, and preparing it for
market, and can classify it. When this miserable contest
began, I had upwards of one hundred thousand dollars
loaned out to the cotton planters, as loans predicted on the
crop of 1861. This I consider a total loss. The planters
refuse to acknowledge any interest on claims, and it will
not be long before they will repudiate both principal and
interest. I am therefore anxious to leave a country in which
there is no security either for life or property. I now make
you the same offer I made to Lord Russell and Sir
Charles Wood. Having lost a handsome competency here,
I cannot afford to go out as an adventurer ; but if lam
guaranteed an appointment wich as will enable me to main-
tain my family in a respectable position, I promise I will
do more for the benefit of my country than expect in
return. A communication addressed to me, care of
ber British Majesty's consul. New Orleans, will have
prompt attention. I left Mississippi ten days since.
The cotton crop is very inferior, and not over one-third
of the usual quantity of land was planted. The planters
have not bad sufficient bagging and rope to wrap up the
crop of 1861, sod thecotton is rotting in the woods. It was
hauled out from the gins in the seed, and a large portion is
very imperfectly sheltered. The government at Richmond
are endeavouring to buy the cotton, giving in exchange the
bonds of the government, bearing eight per cent. interest.
The security don't meet with much favour by the planters.
One thing, you need not look fur any cotton from this
country for some years to come. This war has hardly begun,
and, when I assert this, I judge from observations carefully
made, but which I cannot communicate for the present.

Asetana COTTON. —Several samples of this cotton
have just been received in Liverpool, by steamer from
Quebec, and present all the appearance of the finest and
softest silk. A letter from a gentleman who has paid much
attention to the cultivation of the Asclapis plant contains
the following extract :—" Sooner or later the Asclepla is
certain to become extensively used by manufacturers, what-
IVOr be the price of cotton. lam certain, too, that it can
be supplied from this country in any quantities at 4d. per
pound; perhaps, 3i1.; perhaps, 21. Farmers tell me that
they could raise half a ton per acre of it from their poorest
land. lam sure that it will mix admirably with wool or silk,

ITALY.

(nos ous owl;

TITRIN, Nov. 3.

The rivers are already swollen by the rams ; and
in various parts of Italy twenty bridges have been
either seriously injured or carried away. Most of
them, it is true, are small, but without them commu-
nication between different places is impossible, and
it will costa great deal to replace there. Herein Turin
the Po is at present the river of a capital city : it
seems as if it would show its noble expanse to shame
those who wish to reduce Turin to the rank of
Perugia or Spoleto. You are aware, no doubt, that
some of the deputies are inclined to translate the
capital of Italy to one of those two cities,
since Rome cannot be bad for the purpose :
I say nothing at present of those who suggest
Florence or Naples. Have Italians learned nothing
from the misfortunes that have befallen them
during so many ages, in consequence of their dis-
sensions
The Council of State is about to examine all the
contracts which have been entered into by the go-
vernment, to ascertain if any irregularities have
occurred. A serious flaw was discovered in the con-
stitution of the Bastoggi Southern Railway Com-

company not having made the alterations required by
the Council of State. After protracted discussions,
however, the company yielded, and all opposition
on the part of the minister ceased ; the works,
therefore, will be proceeded with as soon as
possible.
Mr. Layard and Sir James Hudson have had
various conferences with Signor Rattazzi, the Pre-
sident of the Council, and General Duraudo, with
reference to the affairs of Greene ; and Signor
Nigra has communicated to the Ministry
considerable information regarding the view
which the French government takes of the
revolution in Greece. It would seem that
the Ministry has reason to believe that the
Emperor's ideas are not altogether in accordance
with those of M. Drouyn de Lhuys. In the mean-
time, the French government has sent an explana-
tory note which, though it throws but little light
on the Roman question, will be au indirect reply to
that which was drawn up by General Duraudo after
the affair at Aspromonte. It appears that this French
note is to be laid before parliament with other
diplomatic papers of importance. It appears that
Drouyn de Lhuys had prepared • much leas
conciliatory note, previously to the arrival of serious
news from Greece. Much dissatisfaction has been
caused by the departure for Greece of a number of
Italians of the extreme party ; they will become
elements of discord, rather than of assistance ;
men of action are not needed there. I learn

from ;quarter on which 1 can depend, that Count
Idamiani is aware of the coming of these par-
tisans, and is by no means pleased with it ; he has
asoertaired that the opinion of certain members of
the provisional government agrees in this respect
with his own.

To-morrow morning the King and the Prince of
Carignano, with their suite, set out for Milan, to
review about eighteen thousand men.
Very agreeable news continue to arrive about
Garibaldi. It was from his own relatives that I re-
ceived the alarming report I sent you recently : my
informants are now more hopeful. Possibly they saw
things with the eyes of Dr. Bertani, who declared
that, without amputation, Garibaldi could not live
to the end of October. Medical men of still greater
emineuoe, including Mr. Partridge, now pledge
themselves to his recovery, provided he is brought
to a drier locality, and one better suited to his
condition. It is singular that, were politics
~°4l, of the question, Rome would be selected as
the very place boat suited to the purpose. But un-
questionably the Holy Father would never
aid his cure, however willing he might
be to assist in his punishment. It is
certain that the air of Rome is highly favourable to
leg complaints, and the worst possible for those of
the head ; while that of Naples is just the reverse.
It is suggested that, since he cannot be brought to
Rome, he should be removed to Pisa. I trust this
suggestion may be a good one. The King constantly
asks about him very anxiously, and declares that
if he is brought to Pisa he will visit him after he
has reviewed the garrison at Bologna.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.
LIVERPOOL, THOZSDAT.

The Montreal Ocean Mail Steamship Company's
screw steamer Hibernia, Captain Grange, which
sailed from Quebec on the 25th ult., arrived in this
port last night.
The American papers by this arrival are not so
late as those received per City of New York ; we
extract from the Canadian journals the following
items

At a meeting of the Toronto General Committee
of the Lancashire Relief Fund it was suggested
that communications should be opened with the
other committees appointed in Montreal, Quebec,
and other places, with the object of making the
collections bear the character of a provincial con-
tribution, and that if it could be arranged, to for-
ward the half of the amount, as soon as practicable,
to the general committee in England—the remain-
ing portion to be placed in the bank, for
the purpose of assisting those who would
desire to emigrate in the spring to Canada.
The suggestion was favourably received by the
committee, with the exception of one or two mem-
bers, who expressed the fear that the people of
England would look upon such a proposition as
selfish in its character, that it would appear like
keeping in view the future welfare of the Province,
while the more pressing necessities of the poor suf-
ferers might be partially ignored. The iaayor,
however, heartily supported the idea, and believed
that the provincial government would cordially co
operate with them in carrying it out, and, if de-
sirable, vote free gran.a of land to persons thus
brought into Canada by the Provincial Relief Com-
mittee.

The awount of subscriptions collected at Quebec
is 11,194 dole.
The Quebec Mem-um intimates that in a few
days the Receiver General will invite tenders for
the provincial notes, which are about to be issued to
meet the financial deficiency. The notes will be
payable one year after date, and will carry 5 per
cent. interest _ _

The Montreal City Council has adopted an
address to the Prince of Wales congratulating him
on attaining his majority.
The Quebec Gazette says

Mr. Dorian hu resigned Ida seat in the provincial cabinet,
end his resignation, which wan accepted, proceeded.
"wholly from his views upon the Intercolonial Railway
question." We recently mentioned the resignation of Mr.
Smith, a member of the New Brunswick government few the
same reason. The intelligence of these ruptures will &worn-
palsy Messrs. Siootte and Howland to England, on Satur-
day, and we opine will not prove very helpful to them in
orrying out the object of their mission. Similar motives,
we believe, have actuated both gentlemen in the course
which they have taken, namely, the inability of their
respective provinces to embark in an undertaking which
involve% en expenditure far beyond their pecuniary
re-
sources."

Letters received from Newfoundland state that
the fishing returns for the year are said to be very
unsatisfactory.
There was some talk of constructing a North
Atlantic dock at St. John's, to 005t50,0001. sterling.
