ITALY.

The Offlcial Gazette of Turin publishes a tele.
gram from Naples stating that the cnb-drivers of
that city struck work on the 4th, in consequence of
the introduction of omnibuses. The National Guard
quelled a riot which occurred on the occasion, and
the strike was put an end to. As it was rumoured
that the occurrence was owing to Bourbonist
intrigues, a demonstration took place in the 'Via
Toledo in favour of Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi,
whose busts were carried about in triumph.

CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN INDIA.

A snpplement to the Calcutta Gazette of Oct. 30
contains a memorandum from the Foreign-office on.
cotton cultivation in the province of Pegu in 1860-1,
land which at the present time possesses considera-
ble interest. It appears from this memorandum
that in those years the area of land under cotton
cultivation in the plains was 4,795 acres, the ap-
proximate area of land under cotton cultivation in
in the hills was 12,841 acres, and the estimated
produce of the whole area in cleaned cotton was
2,116,3201bs a voirdupois. Cotton is grown on the
islands and on the low banks of the Irrawaddy,
situated above the delta of the river. It is also
grown on the hill slopes of the upper portion of the
province. On the islands and river bank the seed is
sown as the inundation subsides, that is at the end
of Sept. The pods are ripe by the end of March,
In the bills cotton is sown during the month of
June and is gathered in February. In either lo-
cality the plant is an annual, though in the hills a
small crop is to be had the second year. The native
eAton of Pegu has been thus described by Mr. J.
Willis in a report published in the journal of the
Agricultural Society of Bengal, for the first six
months of 1856, page 155 :—" The fibre is coarse,
curly, harsh, and rather short, and is very tena-
ciously attached to the seed ; but it is most exceed-
ingly strong, and in this respect lies its excellence.
its colour, condition, and healthfulness are truly good
and the seeds are very abundantly enveloped in wool.
Its value in Liverpool in March month, 1855, may
be taken at 31d to 4d per lb, and in May month,
1855, at 4!(1 to 5d per lb, if prrtty well detached
from the seed, i.e., without much breakage." Such
is the report on the native variety of cot-
ton cultivated in Pegu. The produce as entered in
the statement above refers to that variety only.
The area of land under cotton cultivation in the
plains has been obtained by measurement. That
in the hills is estimated. The average produce of
an acre of cotton plants has been estimated at
3651bs of the uncleared fibre, which will give about
1201bs of cleaned cotton, such as is considered fit for
the market. At this rate the total produce of cot-
ton in Pegu during the past year was about two
million one hundred thoasand pounds. The culti-
vation has undoubtedly very much decreased since
Pegu became British territory. This has resulted
from several causes. Ist. So much English twist
is constantly introduced into the country, that
the native looms now are chiefly worked with

,hat. 2d. The export of rice has so much

increased, and the demand for that grain
is so constant, that the cultivation of it is
more profitable than that of cotton. 3d. In
the northern portion of the province the Chinese
from Yunan settled at Ava used to purchase cotton
to export overland to Yunan. That market has
now been closed for several years. The present
average price of uncleaned cotton in Pegu is 9
rupees for one hundred viss-3651bs avoirdupois.
The cost of cleaning or ginning one hundred viss
of cotton is 5 rupees. The average price of cleaned
cotton therefore at present is less than 3d per lb.
Of late a considerable quantity of cotton has been
brought down from Ava and exported from Ran-
goon to Calcutta and elsewhere. The cotton from
the whole of Upper Burmah used formerly to be
exported in large quantities by the river and land
route to the province of Yunan ; but that market
has now been entirely stopped, in consequences of
disturbances in the Chinese territory. It is
estimated that Upper Burmah could supply with-
out diffiaalty at present from eight to ten million
pounds of cotton annually. The cotton is considered.
finer than that of Pegu. The market price for cleaned
cotton is as follows :—At Ava, 30 rupees per 100 vise,
equal to 3651bs ; at Rangoon, 47 rupees per 100 viss,
or more than 3d a pound before being shipped. It has
been pronounced to be worth 4d a pound in the
Liverpool market. Persevering efforts have been
made to induce the cultivators in Pegu to grow
foreign cotton. The seed of several varieties has been
distributed to them, but they have evinced great dis-

like to continue the experiment ; sometimes the seed
has been bad and has not germinated. At others they
have found that, either from want of proper care, or
from the soil being unsuitable, the return has not
been so great as the native seed would have afforded.
Then there is no certain market for the small quan-
tities of foreign cotton produced. At present the
improvement of cotton cultivation, or the introduc-
tion of a superior cotton to Pegu, through the un-
aided efforts of the present cultivators, appears
hopeless. Many of the peasants have the plant, the
Pernambuco variety particularly, in their gardens
as a curiosity, but are not inclined to cultivate it rie
a regular agricultural product. Experiments in
growing foreign cotton have been made by the
superintendent of forests, Dr. D. Brandis. During
the year 1860-61 plants raised from New Orleans
seed the best return, equivalent to 125 lbs.
of clean cotton the acre. Texan seed also
gave a good return. These experiments will be
continued. There are in the upper portion of the
province of Pegu many millions of acres now lying
waste, where it is believed cotton of a quality far
superior to any nowoknown in the province could,
under European superintendence, be raised. It is a
crop which the people are accustomed to, and to
the care of which they might easily be trained; but,
except under supervision, they will not exert them-
selves to prepare the soil sufficiently, nor take the
necessaay care with the plants and the picking of
the pods, which appears necessary to ensure the
production of a long stapled and marketable cotton.

been to act as chairman. It is understood that in

Advices just received from Kurrachee announce
the trial of the new steamer Indus, belonging to the Orien-
tal Inland Steam Company. She is intended for the navi-
gation of the Indus river, on which she will now be imme-
diately placed. The speed attained is reported to be about
20 miles an hour—being, it is believed, much in excess of
that of any vessel yet plying in the East.

" ' The green flag flutters o'er us,
" The foe we hate is by our side,
" And the friend we love before us.'
I need not say that I wish not less earnestly than
you that. it were possible to reunite under one
Government the Northern and Southern States;
hut, even if this be now impossible, there is no
reason why these States should exhaust and
destroy each other, and humble themselves before a
foreign foe. To us who look at this struggle from
afar, and contemplate it without sharing the pas-
sions which it has generated, the demand of the
Southern States to be allowed to control their own
Government and their own resources does not seem
to be unreasonable. 'When Carolina and Virginia
entered into the Union eighty years ago they were
then recognised as Sovereign States, competent to
make such terms as they might think most advan-
tageous for themselves. Though they have con-
ceded.. certain rights to the Federal Government,
they have never abdicated their claim of sovereignty,
and if they have found by experience that a Federal
Union with the Northern States has ceased to be
conducive to their interest or happiness it is not
unreasonable that they should desire to be emanci-
pated from this connexion. Events have proved
that they cannot be coerced into adhesion to such a
connexion.
For my own part, I confess that I expected that
the Northerns would have overrun the South, and
would have occupied successively some of its
most
important towns ; but I have always felt that the
subjugation of the South, in despite of the will of
its inhabitants, would be the greatest calamity
that coul I befall the Northern States, because it
would probably bring about a change of their
political constitution, and would certainly impose
upon them an enormous amount of taxation. Events
have shown that, after a campaign of six months,
no important change has been made in the relative
strength of either of the combatants. This is pre-
cisely the state of things that is most favourable
to an adjustment which shall be honourable to
both the contending parties. There may be diffi-
culties in settling the terms of an adjustment; but
sooner or later the war must cease, and these diffi-
culties will be augmented rather than diminished
by the protraction of hostilities.

completed about 18,550 ft. of sewer, varying in size
from 4ft.' 6in. by 3ft. to latt. by 9ft. 6in. in dia-
meter, at a cost of about £79,000.
" A. large portion of this work is in tunnel under
Oxford-street and the Uxbridge-road ; and the
tunnel is now being constructed tinder the Regent's
Canal, near Old Ford-lane,
" The Ranelagh storm overflow across Hyde-
park is drawing towards completion ; a length of
about 5,650 ft., Bft. 6in. in diameter, having been
finished, at an expenditure of about £25,000. The
Commissioners of Metropolitan Roads have at last,
through their surveyor, consented to the stoppage
of the thoroughfare and the diversion of the traffic
at this point for one month ; and the bell mouth
overflow and junction, with the middle level inter-
cepting sewer will be rapidly pushed forward.
" Oa the south side of the river, Mr. Webster's
works at the southern outfall sewer are progressing
at various points between Greenwich and Wool-
wich. The main difficulties in this work have
been surmounted, and it is rapidly drawing to-
wards completion. About 5 miles have been com-
pleted, and the value of the work done is about
£240,000.

" The southern high-level sewer contract does not
progress so satisfactorily as the others. The total
value of the work done is about £135,000.
" At Deptford pumping station Messrs. Aird are
making good progress. The brickwork forming the
foundations of the two engine-houses is raised to a
considerable height ; about 3,000 ft. of iron pipe,
3ft. bin. in diameter, has been laid under the creek,
to form a connection between the highlevel and out-
fall sewers; and the coffer-dam hasbeen constructed
about half-way across the creek for the formation of
the low-level sewer underneath it. The iron roofing
of the coal-sheds is in a forward state, and the
wharf wall is also being formed. The value of the
work done is about £44,000.

111 E PROPOSED ROAD ACROSS HIDE
PARK.

Yesterday a deputation of influential gentlemen
from the parishes of Chelsea, Kensington, Padding-
ton, and Marylebone, waited upon the Right
Honourable Mr. William Cowper, Chief Commis-
sioner of works, to urge the necessity of the speedy
formation of the proposed road across Hyde-park,
to connect Paddington with Brompton and South
Kensington. The right hon. gentleman was ad-
dressed by Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., Mr. Tite, M.P.,
Messrs. Kemshead, Freeman, Nicholay, and Roche,
and Lieut.-Colonel Wortley, on the great inconve-
nience which they contended existed for want of
such a communication as that proposed, and the de-
sirability of its being effected before the opening of
the Exhibition next year. In reply Mr. Cooper
said, for the last two years he had devoted a great
deal of his attention to the subject. Anyone taking
the trouble to glance at the map of London would
see that the communication north and south
betwen Kensington-road and Uxbridge-road was
very bad. Now, as such large masses of the
population had settled in those parts known as
Ty burnia and Belgravia, it was his opinion that
it was necessary some arrangement should be
made. He considered that if the omnibus traffic
from the railway stations to the Great Exhibition
next year was to go through Park-lane and the
other still more inconvenient thoroughfare of Church-
street, Kensington, it would occasion such a con-
tinued jam that it would be a great public incon-
venience. He felt called upon, therefore, to have a
starting point from the Paddington Station to the
Great Exhibition, open to all kinds of vehicles;
but it need not be open to slow traffic. They must
take it for granted that a road on the surface would
be totally inadmissible, as it would be too great an

LAMBETIL—CHARGE or ABDUCTION.—DanieI
Garnsey, a young fellow, 22 years of age, a carpen-
ter and joiner by trade, and who is employed at
Covent-garden Theatre as a scene-shifter, was
brought up in custody, and placed at the bar before
the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged with unlawfully
taking Elizabeth Ann `Plowman, an unmarried
girl, under the age of 16 years, out of the posses-
sion of Mary Louisa Miller, her mother.
Mr. Alfred Miller, of 20, Church-street, Camber-
well, said—l am a dispenser of medicine. I was
married to Mrs. Mary Louisa Plowman, widow, in
1852, and her daughter, Elizabeth Plowman, aged
14 in August last, lived with me and her mother.
Last Monday evening, at five o'clock, she went out,
saying she was going to Mrs. Sibley's, in Grosvenor
Park, Camberwell, and she has never returned. The
prisoner is employed at a house that is being altered
opposite to my residence, and has been at work
there about three weeks to my knowledge, but I
did not know of any acquaintance between him and
my stepdaughter. From what I heard I made in-
quiries about the prisoner, and saw him at the
house he is at work on Tuesday last, but. not
being satisfied with the information I received I
did not speak to him. At that time I had given
information to the police, and on Wednesday I
went with an inspector and asked the prisoner
where my daughter was. He said, " I don't know.
I have not seen her since Monday night. I met
her at Camberwell-green, and we went as tar as
the Elephant and Castle, and then I left her. She
turned back to come home, and I went to my
home." Shortly after he came to my house, and
said "I spoke an untruth, and I am come to
speak the truth. I did take your (laughter away,
and took her to my father's house. She slept there
that night, and the next day I took lodgings for
her in Bedford-street, Covent-garden." 1 asked
him the number. He said he did know it, but
that it was at a house in a lane leading out
of Bedford-street, and that he did not know
the number. I told him that if ho produced
my daughter by five o'clock I should look over
it, and he promised to do so. She did not come
home, and last night I went with the police again,
when the prisoner was given into custody, and he
then said that if I gave /Jim time he would produce
my daughter, but did not know where she was.
It was here stated that the missing girl was in
court, having been brought by the prisoner; and a
plain, puggish-looking, stout girl was here recog-
nised by the witness as his daughter.
Mrs. Mary Louisa Miller, the wife of the h st
witness, said that Elizabeth Ann Plowman, then
present, was her daughter, and under 16 years of
age. She was born on Aug. 11, 1847, so that she
was only 14 last August. 1 know the prisoner by
sight, but I was not aware that he was acquainted
with my daughter, who was absent from her home
against my will since Monday evening last. My
daughter has a future interest in a freehold estate,
left by her father, my late husband, Charles Plow.
man, the rent of which is received by me during
my life, after which the property goes to my said
daughter. I had no knowledge of her intention to
leave my house. She left at five o'clock on Monday
evening, promising to come back, but she did not
do so. I received the two letters from her now
produced.
The following is a literal copy of the last letter
received :
" DEAR MOTHER AND FATITER,—I am both happy and
comfortable, and don't intend returning home again. I
am living with Dan's sister at present ; and do what you
will you shall not take me from him, has we allways had
a regard for each other. I came away of my (mu accord,
so that no blame should attach him as I ham sure he
always meant well towards me, so that dont trouble your-
selves about me has I shall come to see you Boom—Believe
uae your affectionate, " LIZZIE."
Miss Mary Aston, a friend of the family, cor-
roborated a part of the testimony of the first wit-
ness, having been present at the interview between
him and the prisoner.
Police. constable James Kay, 51 F, deposed to the
fact of apprehending the prisoner, on the night
before, at
Covent-garden, where he was employed

By the Lord Ardmillan—When I made up the
bed in the bedroom I made it up with pillows for
two. 1 did not remark in the morning whether two
persons or one had slept in the bed.
Samuel Hoy, head waiter, Brandsfield's Hotel,
Newry, corroborated tho evidence as to the stay of
the gentleman and lady thole.
Rose Fagan, Ratheoffey, Kildare, was called in
simply to identify Major Yelverton, her evidence
having been previously taken in Dublin by the
Commissioner.

Mr. G. H. Pattison, advocate, was called to iden-
tify Mr. Brandsfiold, Bridget Cole, and Rose Fagan
as the persons shown to the pursuer while under
examination as a witness in the Dublin trial.
