CULTIVATION or COTTON IN INDIA.—The di rec-
tors of the Manchester Commercial Association, u well as
the Chamber of Commerce, continu: to prosecute their en- '
&avows to encourage the cultivation of cotton in India.
In the early part of this year letters were received by the
association that fresh New Orleans cotton sees! was scarce 1
in the districts of Tinnivelly and Cointhatore, and other
arts of the Madras territory ; and fearing that the India
Loud, if appealed to, might not be sufficiently prompt in
sopplyisg that deficiency, Mr. John I'eil, ono of the mem-
hers of the association, has imported at his own risk 30 tons
of this seed, and placed it rat the disposal of the Court of
Directors. Mr. Ilugh Fleming, secretary of the amnia.
bun, having informed the Court of Directors that the seed .
was at Liverpool, and would be placed at their disposal,
has received the following acknowledgment of the company's
readiness to avail themselves of the service thus tendered :
" East India House, Aug. 22, 1851.—Sir,—I am commanded
by the Court of Directors of the East India Company, to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter, dated the 7tb inst.,
in which, by desire of the board of Directors of the Man-
chester Commercial Association, you state that the board
had learned with regret that the quantity of New Orleans
cotton seed in Tinnivelly and Coimbatore, and other parts
of the Madras presidency, was altogether inadequate to the
wants of the coming season; that Mr. John reel, a member
of the board, had sent out orders to New Orleans for 30
tens of seed, of the best and purest quality, to be shipped
to Liverpool, with the intention of handing over the same,
at cost price, to the East India Company, for transmission
to Madras, should they so desire it; and that the above
enter having been carefully' executed, and the aced in gum
lion anis ed in Liverpool, -Mr. Peel offers to place it at the
&Tout of the Court of Directors, should they feel inclined
to avail themselves of the arrangement. In reply, I am'
desired to acquaint you, for the information of the associa-
tion, that although the court have not received from the
gosentmcnt of Madras any intimation that the supply of
New Orleans seed was insufficient for the requirements of
the officers engaged in superintending the eximental
cotton cultivation in that presidency, yet, rel on the
accuracy of the information furnished to the association by
their correspondents in India, and assuming the quality of
the seed to be such as is stated in your letter the court pro-
Pon to avail themselvesof the offer which Mr. Peel has
obligingly made to them. You will accordingly be pleased
to wore, me of the cost and other particulars respecting
the seed in question, in order that the necessary arranges
Meats may be made for its transmission to Madras.—l am,
gr, your most obedient Mumble servant, J. D. DL' itsorr."
