There is another direction in which cotton may be sought
and found, and for which purpose Government either has
sent, or is about to send, a competent person to institute
inquiries. Upper Burmah prior to the insurrection in
China had a considerable trade with Yunan, and by this
route exported into China 10,000,0001 b. of cotton, the
growth of her fields, annually. For the last five or six
years this route has been closed, and, as no other market
has been found for the staple, the cultivation has been
allowed to languish It is not so long since but that a
slight effort made might cause it again to flourish. A brisk
market in Rangoon, there can be little doubt, would soon,
but for one obstacle, revive it ; that obstacle is the Ring of
Burmah's export frontier duty. This is a matter for nego-
tiation, and the relaxing of our frontier duties on rice, or
fish, would in all probability have the effect of inducing his
Majesty to take the embargo off cotton. As it is a mat ter
of importance that the growth of cotton should be encou-
raged as much as possible, and as Burmah Proper can pro-
duce it, it would be well worth a trial as to whether or not
some understanding might not be come to between the King
of Burmah and the Governor-General's agent on this subject.

Some attempts have been made in British Burmah to im-
prove the staple of the cotton grown there and to introduce
foreign varieties, In only one instance has success attended
these attempts ; some New Orleans seed sown in light sandy
soil yielded a fine crop equivalent to 1251 b. per acre. There
is, unfortunately, a great disinclination on the part of the
Burmese agriculturists to make use even of foreign seeds,
and to all foreign agricultural products. The Texan seed
sowed in an experimental garden at Rangoon yielded a fair
crop, but all other seeds failed, attributable to the want of
knowledge among the persons introducing the seed as to
the nature of the soil adapted to each variety. However, it
would be vain to look to the British provinces of Burmah
for any large supply of cotton, the population being so
scanty as to preclude all hopes of cotton cultivation being
undertaken on any large scale.
The subjects here broached, however, are well worthy the
consideration of all persons in England who look to India
to keep up the requisite supply of cotton, and through her
means to continue in employment, and so save from starva-
tion, by any American vagaries, the 4,000,000 British sub-
jects employed in connection with the cotton mills of the
United Kingdom.

ABOARD THE WARRIOR.—One of the stokers, a
grim-faced man, who paced about moodily, and with an air
of suffering under not being permitted to set the ship going,
rubbed spitefully at furnace door handles, and here came
forward and volunteered information in a pained and hurt
sort of a way. The engine represented, he said, aforce little
short of 6,000 horses. A big man could pass, not only up
and down the main steam pipe and its branches into the
cylinders, but also through the passage of the side valves
into the condensers. The Warrior had ten boilers, and each
boiler was fed by four furnaces. Every boiler had 440 tubes.
The piston weighed no less than 13 tons, and the stroke
was four feet, the number of revolutions being 50 a
minute. The steam shaft was one great piece of malleable
iron, 30 feet long and 20 inches in diameter. The screw was
of gun metal, 24 feet in diameter, and weighed about 20
tons. The ship consumed 125 tons of coal every 24 hours.
After the second heavy dose of scientific facts, Master Gun-
ner started me again on a fresh tour, up all sorts of shiny
iron stairs, and along all sorts of iron-grated passages.
Now I found myself in a sort of small ballroom traversed
by a great shaft of iron—now in a dark hall, studded en
either side with 20 furnaces. Sailors were working up and
down the stairs, mechanics were fitting up tables in the offi-
cers' cabins, marines were tugging at gun-carriages ; every
one was busy, for the vessel was soon to be off to Ports-
mouth, and thence to start in search of a storm, in order
to test hex sea-going powers. Going to look for a tem-
pest I What a young Titan it must be, whose infant amuse-

A REVERSE Of FORTIINE.---DUring the confine-
ment of the last Earl of Cromartie in the Tower,
his
nephew, although taking no part in ion.
was imprisoned with him, and on his uncle's dis-
charge was permitted to leave with him. Tho earl and
countess (earl and countess no longer now) resolved to
reside in London, at least for some time, and as simple Mr.
and Mrs. Mackenzie fought earnestly against their mis-
fortunes. Their nephew and his two daughters had also
to struggle bravely for daily bread. In the end,
George 111. restored some portion of the attainted pro-
perty to the earl's daughter, on whose neck was plainly
visible the mark of a blood-red axe, and admitted his nep-
hew into the Charter-house. But the earl's two great-nieces
had to fight the battle of life alone, and obtained a precari-
ous living by making shirts and mending linen for their
friends, and taking care of sets of chambers for
gentlemen of the law. In Cannon-street there is a house
that looks out upon a little railed-in grave -yard, and there
these patient, suffering ladies resided for some time, nobly
fulfilling the duties of their fallen station, and dying at
length honoured and lamented by all who know them.—
Once a Week.

READY, AYE READY.—We all remember that
when, during the Indian mutiny, it was thought necessary
to despatch Sir Colin Campbell to Calcutta to assume the
command of the forces, the gallant old general gained great
credit for having demanded only 12 hours to prepare for his
departure. In this, however, he was outdone by the late
Earl Cathcart, who when asked by Lord Hill, the then
General Commanding-in-Chief, what time he would require
to prepare himself for active service, and proceed to Canada
with despatches, replied, as he rose to take his departure,
after a moment's hesitation, " Half-an-hour, my lord, but
if necessary I will be quite ready in 20 minutes."--Once a
