By COLIN KENNAQUIIOM, Esq.
" Kill a man's family, and he may brook it,
But keep yoar hand out of his breeches' pocket."
Byron.
Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-
street.

It is a great satisfaction to receive such accounts
as Mr. Bourne sent us last week of the possible
production of cotton in the West Indies. All the
evidence that reaches this country from all quar-
ters tends to prove that our dependence on one
country for cotton is a piece of gratuitous rash-
ness which we cannot too soon reform ; and it is
true that the West Indies alone would afford us
much more of the raw material than we could at
present use. This was asserted at the meeting at
Manchester on the 14th ult., and if the West
Indies are not brought into the scheme of the new
company, it is for other reasons than their capacity
to grow cotton. The chairman expressed his
satisfaction at the reviving disposition in
Jamaica to grow cotton ; and he read au interesting
letter from a missionary, describing the ease and
certainty with which the product can be grown,
and attributing the small supply hitherto obtained
to the neglect of the mother country. The people
are always applying for cottonseed, have every dis-
position to furnish the produce; but they have
never yet got much by it, however urgently
pressed to try their hands at it. They need in-
struction in dressing the cotton, a steady market,
and a way of getting at it. Such is the testimony;
and it is not surprising that of 40,000 bags a week
used last year in: our manufacture, only 132 bags
were from the "West Indies. It was satisfactory to
the meeting to whom these facts were related to
find that efforts were making to form a company
for growing cotton in Jamaica ; and no doubt it
would at any time be good news that the whole
c,roup of -West India colonies, qualified for the oh-
ic-ct was included in the scheme. It suits the pur-
poses of the new Company, meanwhile, to con-
centrate its activity upon India and Australia. In
India labour is cheapest : in Australia the best
cotton in the world is produced. Government is
ready to make concessions of land and to give aid in
obtaining labour ; and in those countries there is
the amplest certainty of a vast commerce as an
immediate result of an effective and steady de-
mand of cotton on our part. Under these cir-
cumstances, it is proposed to devote nine-tenths
of the Company's capital to India, and the remain-
ing tenth to Australia. It will be admitted on
all hands that one main condition of success in
such an enterprise is to propose a distinct and cir-
cumscribed aim. In the present case this is done.
India affords cotton, fit for a good mans, but not
all purposes, at Id. per lb. on the spot, and sus-
ceptible of improvement up to a selling price of
11d. per lb. in Manchester. Further on in the
same direction—in Australia—there are vast
areas (one larger than France in Queensland
alone) which can produce the finest sorts in which
India is deficient. In both these dependencies,
Government can help by grants, or a nominal
lease of lands, by encouraging public works con-
ducive to transport; and, in Australia, by aug-
menting the supply of labour. In India the labour
is on the spot—cheap, docile, and willing. These
are sufficient grounds for the choice of a field of
action : but the further consideration of the vast
extension of commerce through this new demand
of an Indian and Australian commodity has been
very powerful with the leaders of the movement.
We have seen what a trade has been created by
the Australian export of wool ; and we are told
that more than as much again might accrue from
an export of cotton, if India did not beat Aus-
tralia in the cheapness of some kinds, as Australia
beats India in the excellence of others. 'We are
told that with moderate enterprise and skill these
countries would not only take a vast amount of
manufactures from us, but would so reduce the
price of cotton as to enable us to get cotton and
" breadstuffs" together from America for the
same money that we now pay for the cotton alone.
This statement supposes such an extension of the
demand for cotton as would make us still cus-
tomers of the United States, however much we
may get from our own territories. In such a
case there can be no fear for the "West Indies.
They could assuredly produce cotton more cheaply
than the slaveholders, and their being able to do
so is the ground of the effort now making (as an-
nounced at the Manchester meeting) to form a
company for the revival of cotton-growing in
Jamaica. Reference was made to Africa also,
where Mr. Cleigg's exertions have effected all that
could reasonably be looked for in the time. These
several movements are not antagonistic. The
leaders of etch are friendly and helpful to the rest ;
but the large effort now proposed bas its own aim
and its own field, and assigns its reasons for the
choice.
It seems incredible that we should not be pre-
sently relieved from our miserable and perilous
dependence on a single producing country, now
that so many agencies are at work for our rescue.
Last year only 8 per cent. of our cotton supply
came from the Queen's dominions, while four-
fifths of the whole quantity came from the United
States. Two or three years hence we may hope
the proportions will be very different. In order to
make them so—in order also to guard ourselves
from the consequences of accidents in America,
and from the commercial dishonesty there which
mulcts our importers of nearly one-third of the
cotton they pay for, there must be an active sup-
port of measures for getting cotton elsewhere. The
money we are paying for the sand and stones
shipped from New Orleans with the cotton, and
for the cost of slave labour in comparison with
free, would obtain supplies from our own de-
pendencies. Hitherto there has been no channel
through which the effort could be made. The
previous association, now merging in the new
Cotton Company, has done good service within
its own scope ; but its scope was not that of the
company now starting its great enterprise.
The proposal is, as our readers may have seen,
that the capital shall be £lOO,OOO ; and that the
work shall begin when half that amount is sub-
scribed. The returns of profit are expected to be
very large ; and a reserve fund of a million is
proposed to be formed out of them, after paying 10
per cent. Such is the prospect held out ; and it is
for our manufacturers, before any other men, to see
to their duty in regard to it. The speakers at the
meeting expressed themselves very strongly in
regard to this duty. They think that men who
have made their fortunes (and such fortunes ! ) by
the cotton manufacture can never be justified in
leaving another generation to the chances of a
failure of supply which would destroy a third of
our commerce. They have called up around them
an industrial population equal in numbers to the
whole population of Belgium ; and, having grown
rich by that manufacture, they are bound to lay
out a fractional part of their wealth in rendering
the basis of the manufacture secure. As it happey.s.,
the investment will be a profitable one ; but If it
were not sure to be so, there could bo no
escatEee
from the obligation of the case. Such

taun of pr

all we can get of their slave-grown cotton are simply
foolish. They have no relevancy but in the case
of a commodity which can be grown only by slave
labour; whereas cotton is actually better when pro-
duced by free Germans than by negro slaves. But
our manufacturers would be •in an advantageous
position in every way if they could derive their
material from various sources. Not only would
they have all they want, all in good condition, and
all cheaper, but they would cease to be regarded
as implicated in the greatest social scandal which
exists in Christendom. Very possibly they may
indignantly and sincerely spurn the imputation of
abetting American slavery more or less, but they
may then fairly claim to have disconcerted and dis-
countenanced it more effectually than anybody
else. Duty to others and to themselves coincides in
a very remarkable way, in this matter ; and we
trust the result will be seen in the immediate re-
moval of the greatest danger which impends over
our national fortunes.—Daily News.

England than the news that malignant malaria had
held its own at Rome against the approaching win-
ter, and had seated itself triumphant upon all the
seven hills: The fact is, that our own kith and kin
were, at the last accounts, away in that distant and
unsung land, where there are neither priests, nor
ruins, nor deadly miasmata ; and upon this last
point we are glad to be well assured. Nothing can
be more satisfactory than the tidings our corre-
spondent sends us of the condition of the expedition
at the latest despatch. So far as regards health and
comfort both forces were in the highest state of
prosperity and efficiency. Of our owu men less
than four and a half per cent. were on the sick-list,
and the majority of these invulids were suffering
from no more grave malady than that of cut feet
—the consequence of bathing upon a beach strewed
with oystershells. The 99th had but two men
absent from duty, and of serious cases there were
not more than one per cent. Nothing' could be
better than this. Nor need friends at home be
too anxious about the creature comforts of our
absent warriors. While they pursued their
gamesda nt

appe-
tites the exercise had excited, and to eat like

titude in settling themselves with all the appear-
ancestoi s
fy Italy,t he .Stbun
of civilization about them, had built a town
wtoaysat
with its Hotel de Ville, probably with its cafes and
estaminets, and certainly with its surrounding
villas and its flourishing gardens.. They also were
in good fellowship with their neighbourhood, and
in the full enjoyment of the _sheep, goats, pigs,
poultry, eggs, vegetables, and fruit which a China-
man is always ready to bring out to an enemy who
pays ready money. To these the British added a
large demand for beef, and although John China-
man always looks sorrowful at the untimely death
of the labouring ox, even these were led to sacri-
fice before the almighty dollar. If the reader would
put his finger upon the two spots where this highly
satisfactory state of things was in course of occur-
rence, he must search in his map of China for the
Gulf of Pecheli. He will find the entrance to this
gulf narrowed by two promontories, the northern
of which is marked " Regent's Sword," and the
southern " Shantung Promontory." On Re gent's
Sword is the bay of Tah-lien-hwaii, where the
British station was, and on the Shantung Promon-
tory, near where Tang-chow is marked upon the
, map, is the French station of Che-fow.

From these well chosen stations the two expedi-
tions were to start at daybreak of the 26th July,
and to rendezvous on the other side of the Gulf.
Long ere this our Armstrong guns must have had
their first opportunity of testing their efficiency in
rivalry with the rifled cannon of the French, which
have already done service in the plains of Lombardy.
There is, however, a very considerable dispropor-
tion between these two allied expeditions. We have
26 gunboats for the fight which was to come off at
the mouth of the Peiho; the French had 6. We have
11,000 men ; they have less than 3,000. We have
1,050 cavalry as superbly mounted as horsemen can
be ; they have 4 Spahis and 4 Chasseurs d'Afrique.
We have a fleet of 200 vessels of war ; they have
39. We have 6 mounted batteries, two of 12-pounder
Armstrongs, and two of 9-pounders ; they have
three batteries of 4-pounders rifle bored up to 8.
Moreover, we have efficient means of landing men,
horses, and material ; and so have they according to
present arrangements, for they propose to show
their brotherly affection by sharing ours. The
landing, arrangements were not very perfect, even
at Che-fow, for when we paid them friendly visits
at their home, Admirals, Generals, and Ambassa-
dors were constrained to pass in undignified proces-
sion through 60 yards of mud and surf pickaback,
with the tails of brawny natives for holdfast. We
are about to return the compliment to our good allies
at Pell-tang, and to take them in our boats to terra
firma. The original plan, duly set forth in writing,
had been that the French should land on the south
of the Peiho, while we landed at Peh-tang on the
north ; but after reconnaissance made the French
found that they could not make sure of their land-
ing, so they go with us. Jack grumbles a little at
this arrangement; for he complains that, after
having waited for an assistance he does not want
for more than a month, and after having lost the
best of the fighting season, he now has to carry his
French friend ashore, where he will infallibly break
the plan of attack, and make a run out of orders,
and whip his tricolours out of his pockets, and claim
all the glory. These little rivalries and jealousies
always will happen in combined operations. Such
unions seldom add much to the cordiality of the
forces joined in them, and we still think it would
have been wiser if the two expeditions had each
gone its own way, and had, if that be the point
intended, given each other rendezvous at Pekin.
However, the dogs are now slipped, and our next
letters will give us results. If we are not success-
ful this time, no fault will lie at the door of those
who prepared the expedition. It is at any rate
pleasent to know that we have made some advance
in the art of sending out a fleet and army. We
have placed a powerful expedition on shore 16,000
miles from Woolwich without a disaster, and in
as perfect a state of efficiency as if they were all
congregated at Mount Edgecumbe. After the first
blow is struck promptitude and rapidity will be
everything, and there will be no more delay for
anybody, not even, we will hope, for diplomatists,
until enough has been done to render their work
easy. The plan, we believe, was to land the first
division at Peh-tang, where it may be reason_a_Viy
supposed that the Chinese will not expect us. r
