Retract of a letter from Bengal, dated June 24:
...44 It is always difficult in the early part of any
reason, from the large tracts of country under cot.
ton cultivation, their great distance, and the im-
portant and interested channels through which
information can be obtained, to form a tolerably
correct idea of the extent of the year's crop. It is,
however, pretty well ascertained, from all the in.
formation which has been collected. that the pre.•
scut crop falls greatly short of that of last year. Its
regard to the difference in the importation and ex-
portation of this article, from the Ist of January to
the 31st of May last, to the corresponding period
in the preceding year, it is oot altogether to be at-
tributed to the -failure of the present crop, bat;
to a certain extent, may be. accounted for by the
interruption of the navigation of the Matabenga
River. fur mouths plat,. bovine prevented
the ureal coutiasoication r with the toterior.—
Thrive is also a cansiderablelnanlity of old cotton
included in the importation sod exportation of 1818,
as well as in that of the, present year. The pre-
sent crop, however, IP we have already stated, will
he found to be greatly short of that year. Alonsst
the only description of cotton which has yet found
its way here is Cutchours. and this cannot at present
be purchased under 158 s. Tines!, which was its
considerable request. and had advanced. has again
declined. Opium has advanced shout 10 rupees.
Piece goods remain without alteration. Sugar has
experienced a further decline. The amount of
indigo imported 1 the lout to the 16th instant
auionuted to 162 factory wands, and the total this
to 24,158."
