I" In La Patric there is an article on the Anglo-
French submarine tunnel, entitled "Le Testament ce
Cobden." After having quoted the advice given by that
illustrious man on his death-bed to his friends as regards
the execution of this tunnel, La Patine writes thus :-
" The great apostle of commercial liberty thought that the
two nations sincerely united and relying on each other
would, by their moral ascendancy, as well as by their
material strength, be able to impose peace on the rest of
the world ; and it is in this point of view that the creation
of a submarine tunnel appeared to him, to the last hour of
his existence, as a work of union and of civilisation."
TEN YEARS OF COTTON.-It appears that the
total quantity of cotton imported into the United Kingdom
in 1856 was 1,023,886,3011 b. ; in 1857, 969,318,8961 b. ; in
1858, 1,034,342,1761 b.; in 1859, 1,225,989,0721 b.; in 1860,
1,390,938,7521 b. ; in 1861, 1.,256,984,7361b.; in 1862,
523,973,2961 b. ; in 1863, 669,583,2641 b. ; in 1864,
893,304,7201 b. ; and in 1865, 977,978,2881 b. In conse-
quence of the great and general reduction of the Euro-
pean stocks of cotton, the exports of cotton from the
United Kingdom have very greatly increased of late,
having been 146,660,8641 b. in 1856, 131,927.6001 b. in 1857,
149,609,6001 b. in 1858, 175,143,1361 b. in 1859, 250,339,0401 b.
in 1860, 298,287,9201 b. in 1861, 214,714,5281 b. in 1862,
241,352,4961 b. in 1863, 214,702,3041 b. in 1864, and
302,908,9281 b. in 1865. The excess of the imports of cot-
ton over the exports of cotton was thus-877,225,4401k
in
1856, 837,391,2961 b. in 1857, 884,732,5761 b. in 1858,

and 875,069,3601 b. in 1865..
in 1863, 648,602,4161 b. in 1864,
It was the small increase last year in the quantity of cot-
ton available for British consumption which enabled
prices to be so well main
tabled after the termination of
the American war. Thus in 1859 cotton averaged 6•76 d.
per lb. ;
per lb. ; in 1861, 7'39(1. per lb • in
1862, 14 24d per lb. in
