BATS AIVD THE EXHIBITION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
Sir,—One good to be attained, indirectly perhaps,
from the Exhibition, is the repudiation, once and for
ever, of our ugly, uncomfortable, and unhealthy head
gear—hats.
For this purpose I suggest the formation, in London
and in every provincial town, of an "Anti-Hat League,"
the members of which shall one and all abjure the pre-
sent unsightly chimney-pot hat. Ten or twenty gentle-
men, in a town of twenty thousand, would be quite suffi-
cient to start the thing. I myself have taken the solemn
league and covenant to-day.—Your faithful servant,

DEATH OF THE VISCOUNT STRATHALLAN. --- We
regret to announce the death of the Lord Viscount Strath-
alien, at his seat of Castle Strathallan, in Perthshire, in the
afternoon of Wednesday last. his Lordship, who had
reached the ripe age of 85, began to show tokens of declining
strength some time ago; but his last illness was only of a
few days' duration. The deceased peer, James Andrew John
Laurence Charles Drummond, Viscount Strathallan, Lord
Maderty and Drummond of Cromlix, was born on the 24th
March, 1 767. The family of which he became the represent-
ative was a branch of the noble house of Drummond.

LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 20, 1851.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 7,000 hales, of which 1,000 American were
done taken en speculation. and 300 Brazil for export. The
y. sales comprised about 5,000 American, 1,100 Pernam
and Maranhain at 6p3. to 743., 100 Bahia at 7d. to 7id.,
and 500 Surat at *. to 4d. per lb. The market
closed heavily, and American sorts were about id. per
lb. lower than on Friday last.—Railway Shares were
greatly depressed at lower prices.
Since the statement appeared in a morning contempo-
rary, as to the new discoveries of guano at the Seychelle
Islands, attention has been awakened to the matter,
and there is an apparent anxiety for information con-
cerning them as well as the other dependencies of Mau-
ritius. We understand that detailed charts and maps
by Mr. Charles Pridham, published by Messrs. Boone,
as far back as 1848, in his work on the Mauritius, fur-
nish all that is needed as to the islands in question as
well as the other islands thereabouts that contain guano.
The harbours, anchorages, soundings, and supplies ob-
tainable at each island are given for the guidance of the
mercantile and shipping interest.
Notice was taken upon a former occasion of the
hasty and ill-judged proceedings in the Legislatures of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in regard to the
proposals of Earl Grey for carrying out a main trank
line of railway from Halifax to Quebec. The people
of those colonies, we are assured, do not coincide with
their representatives, and it is highly satisfactory to
find that in Quebec a decided movement in favour of the
undertaking has been made by influential parties,
who assembled in public meeting, and passed
various resolutions, and among others, to the
54 X effect, " that no doubt can be entertained, according to
the unbiassed calculations and estimates of Major
Robinson, the officer superintending the survey of the
different routes for the proposed railroad from Halifax
to Quebec, that this railroad, which will open to all
points of Canada a direct and rapid communication
with Europe, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and
cause an extensive emigration to these provinces, and
become a second St. Lawrence during our long winter,
would ultimately yield a revenue exceeding cur present
most sanguine expectations; that, moreover, there
is no instance on this continent of a railroad of any ex-
tent having failed to produce an income greatly beyond
the interest of the cost of construction. That supposing
the apprehension that this road might continue a few
years without yielding a profit, to be well founded, such
14 233 apprehensions can offer no reasonable grounds to the Le-
gislature for refusing to undertake it, inasmuch as works
of this:character are not constructed exclusivelywith a view
to the production of a revenue, but chiefly for the pur-
pose of opening internal communications, and develop-
ing th© resources of a country; thus our canals and other
great public works, which have cost the provinces more
than five million pounds, and barely yield a revenue of
fifty thousand prounds, have, nevertheless, increased
more than tenfold the value of the real estate and the
general wealth of Upper Canada. That the movers and
seconders of the above resolutions be, with the Mayor, a
committee to draft a petition, founded upon the said reso-
lutions, to be presented to the three branches of the Legis-
lature, praying them to adopt, without delay, such measures
as they may deem calculated to meet the views of the Im-
perial Government, and to place the Provincial Govern-
ment in a condition to enter with all possible diligence
upon this great undertaking; and that his worship the
May or be now respectfully re quested to sign and trans-
mit the same to his Excellency the Governor-General
and the two Houses of Parliament. That this meeting
express the hope that the other provinces, who are
equally interested with Canada in the realization of this
great enterprise will not render it impossible, by refusing
their concurrence, or by imposing conditions which can-
not be accepted."
In the present temper of the mother country, and with
the growing indisposition not to he taxed for the benefit
Ws, of the colonies, we think the latter had better accept a
good offer while it is open.
The following extract, of the state of the New Orleans'
Cotton Markets, dated April 26, is from the Circular of
Messrs. Seines ler and Mummy, and published by Mr.
James Irvine, of Liverpool:—
"At the close of our last review, dated 12th instant,
our market had assumed a mere satisfactory aspect.
This was of short duration, however, and the market
speedily resumed its sluggish appearance; sales to some
% X extent could only be effected at continually easier rates,
and amounted to only 22,800 bales, daring the week
ending 18th instant, though the decline from the rates
quoted in our last review was fully a of a cent.
"The advices by Liverpool steamer of sth instant,
reporting a decline of id., were soon followed by accounts
of the steamer of 9th instant, which, though not lower,
were by no means more satisfactory, and little calculated
to import more activity or firmness to our great staple.
Sales during this week were on a still more restricted
scale than during the previous one, although factors sub-
mitted to a further decline of gtol of a cent until
further edvices by the steamer of 12th Instant, with a
further decline of id. were received. These, however,
may be said to hare been anticipated, subsequent sales
20 having been made at rates current before their arrival.
The business of the week amounts to only 17,800 bales,
a small figure indeed, considering our stocks, and the
continued heavy receipts, which now exceed' those of
last year by 135,539 bales; and, we must confess, are
well calculated to engender some doubts as to the correct-
iess— ness of the previous estimates of 2,200,000 bales.
" Much attention is naturally paid to prospects for our
. next crop, even at this early period of the season; and
as it cannot be denied that the weather, during the last
week, has been most unseasonable, it may be inferred
that it has proied detrimental in some degree. Tele-
graphic dispatches from various sections of the country
farther north report frosts injurious to the plants. We
quote our present prices as follows:
"Ordinary, 7ic. to Bc.; good ordinary, 94c. to 9Ae.;
middling, 103. to 104 c.; good middling, 104 c. to 104 c.;
middling fair, 11c. to llic.; fair, 12ic. Sales during
the last fortnight, 40,600 bales. Receipts at this port
since Ist Sept., 867,982 bales, against 732,443 bales last
year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest
dates, 219,992 bales."
The English Funds have been steady, and with rather
more busiueas doing. Consols have realised 97i for
Transfer, and 97i s for Account. The aspect of com-
mercial affairs in France is reported to have improved
during the last few days, but the Bourse does not per-
manently rally. Trio New Three. and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 97i and the Three per Cents. 96i
Bask Stock is worth 210 to 211. Exchequer-bills have
