NATAL

The following statements are taken from the
Natal trade report of Meters. Harry &combo and Co., and
Herman Salome= and Co., of Durban and lietermaritx-
burg, dated November 30, 1861 :—Tu judge from iticreas-
ing ,rormigration we may coogratulate the colony oe the
appreciation in which it is held in England. Fresh blood
being almost daily infused by the arrivals of intending
colonists, some contributing capital, others labour, both
equally valuable, and available in the development of
Natal's wealth ; and though we deprecate indiecnminate
importation, there is no little satisfaction derivable from a
knowledge, that whilst return cargoes are es yet not so
numerous or valuable as they will be, ship load after
ship load of merchandise reaches us, as if it was said by con-
signor—continued support, and moderate patience, will
secure us wife and profitable returns. The Agricultoral
and Horticultural Society's annual show will be held
in December, when will be exhibited all articles from Natal
intended for the London International Exhibition. Chiefly
noteworthy amongst exports will be sugar, ivory, arrow-
root, and hides. Of these, with one exception, all are pro-
duce of Natal. Awl ivory we may regard as produce so
hag as paid for by Natal, it is shipped from our port.
Home samples (not of large parcels) of cotton (which within
a year it is to be hoped will be considered of more im-
portance than at present) will too be found. For the List
ten years cotton has occupied more or less of the time of
enterprising colonists, who, however, fur the reams we
shall give, have failed to enjoy profitable returns for their
outlay. The drawbacks to cotton cultivation have all
along consisted in the uncertainty of labour. Tdl the
arrival of cooliesdarmers hail only the 1 tars to rely lima,
who till then were sufficiently independent to choose some
employment more congenial to their tastes than the in-
cement and tiresome work of gathering cotton. The plant
flourishes in Natal as a perennial, whereby is necessitated
unremitting attention, every plant requiring inspection at
intervals of two or three days at latest. No fault can be at-
tributed to the climate, which is certainly as suitable for cot-
ton as any in the world, if we may judge from the samples
which are pronounced equal with the best American pro-
duction (vide article on cotton Saturday Review). Every.
thing at present seems to direct attention to cotton cultiva.
tion —the certain market to be found in England—the
greater abundance of labour—the little outlay mammary,
and the general assistance from home and in the °okay that
may be relied upon by all willing to take advaatege by the
opening. IMr. Bagley, of Blanchester, we nodes, bee
evinced his interest in this matter by forwarding to Mr.
Beeingdeld a parcel of seed, which our esteemed towasmiam
will be thanked for placing at the disposal el ietwading
farmers. We hope at no distant date to be is a poultice to
advise that we may rely upon large shipmate el this pro-
fitable export—in sample inferior to none that reach the
home market.
