orocured, mid the government having taken the mike la
band, seed, , and prlims have been °Mahood from the

Central A:goalies Railway will be of great service, by afford-
ing cheap transit for oot. on. A letter was nosivid feast the

land admirably adapted to the purpose, but the imam of

cotton cultivation in Peru, which is increasing at the nth of
lefty per cent. per assure. The seared reap this year wYI
sot be so abundant as the first, owing to the cold mother
which has prevailed to a greater degree than has hitherto
been known on the South Pacific ocast. A letter we re.

growth of optics, and a sosomay has been formed with a
well arranged plea of operatiom. The miniaturise labour.
lag at Aseityum will afford all passible encouragement, and
gratifying remits are expected. A letter was read stating
that several samples of Barbary cotton, as well an one of
Spanish, will be speedily forwarded to the amociatioe, and
that cleaning macbioery is required for the quantity at
present growing. A letter from Clap Coast wee read, the
writer of which, bar's' previously forwarded a quaetity of
cotton to be sold on bin behalf, with the results of wbirh be is
well satisfied, expresses his intention toe: teed hie operabb
and hopes next year to ship both • better quality and

respecting the distribution of seed placed at hie disposal.
He states that Egyptian, Dharwar, Americus, and indi.
poem geed bad base sows under his direction, before his
removal to Nagpora ; bat, owing to drought, the slops had
almost entirely failed. In the valley of the Winds, Egyp-
tian used bad been sown in considerable quantities brit year,
bat too late to be productive. Some very Sae Pgyptlea
plants, sheltered from the Indian man, were growing in
Chands; and further experiments are in program, the results
of which will be oommnnicated. The adminietratioa of the

at work in Queensland, in addition to • number of small
planters. The late season was almost beyond precedent
usfavourable, a long drought having been succeeded by
heavy floods, but the crops of the present year promise well.
The government and legislature of Queensland have done all
in their power, by grant. of land and bounties, and by
providing a continuous supply of labour, to naturalise and
promote the cultivator of cotton in the colony so admirably
suited for it. A despatch from the lieutenant.goveroor of

ration, in their zeal for improvement, borrowed various
sums amounting to 84.0004, which the. expended is new
