gins, but of improved hand or treadle gins, such
as those, a model of which will shortly he for-
warded to your Highness by the Cotton Supply As-
sociation. A very great amount of labour will be
saved by their extensive lap oduction into the coun-
try, and I am assured by the people with whom I
have spoken in every district I have passed through
that they will be glad to purchase them. Improved
means of packing or pressing cotton are also re-
quired, but those will follow the introduction of bet-
ter means of cleaning, and prove a great saving in
the cost of transit.

I would especially press upon the attention of your
Highness the fact which I have been most desirous
to be informed upon, namely, that the cultivation of
the American or New Orleans class of cotton is emi-
nently adapted to the soil of Egypt. For this class
of cotton the demand in the markets of Europe may
be said to be unlimited, at least the demand is con-
stant and increasing as compared with that of Egyp-
tian cotton, of which some 80,000 bales only were
required by England last year, and England con-
sumed much more than all other counties put toge-
gether. I found that 3001 b may be taken as the
extreme product ion of Egyptian cotton, not less than
6001 b have been grown per feddan from American
seed sent out by the association I represent. A
sample of this cotton was valued in Liverpool at
Bd. per lb. The average of the Egyptian may be
taken at 10d. to 1 ld. per lb. It would therefore
appear to be the interest of your highness, as
well as that of the great landed proprietors of this
country, to test the question whether it would not
answer to encourage the cultivation of the Ameri-
can variety side by side with the Egyptian, leaving
it to time to determine which of the two is to be
preferred. And in the event of a serious falling short
in the supply from America during the next two or
three years, the greatest benefit would be conferred
by its speedy introduction as a staple product of
your highness's dominions.
There is an obvious need on most of the farms I
visited of more intelligent supervision and general
management, and there is ample room for the in-
troduction of a large number of overseers and
managers, having a practical knowledge of agricul-

ture on modern principles.
The establishment of a company under the
auspices, or with the known approbation of your
highness, for the introduction of capital at a rea-
sonable rate of interest, might go far to remedy
many of the wants I have already pointed out.
Such an association by its agents, who must be men
of high integrity, would speedily discover all, and
many more than those deficiencies already adverted
to, and, if properly supported under an efficient
managing directory, would in the course of a few
years bring about a great revolution and improve-
ment in the agriculture and cotton trade of Egypt.
No one can traverse the vast farming regions of
Egypt without being struck with the fertility and
exuberant productiveness of the soil. Egypt may
be said to be one vast farm, and might readily be
made one vast garden ; her people rich and her
treasury inexhaustible.

Before closing this imperfect sketch of a most inte-
resting tour, I beg to assure your Highness that both
myself and Br. Forbes, who accompanied me, are
fully alive to the obligation you have conferred upon
us by granting so many facilities for expediting our
journey—not only by railway, but by placing at
our disposal one of your Highness's steamers on the
Nile.

It is my duty also to report that Souliman Effendi,
whom your Highness commissioned to accompany
us on
our tour, has rendered to us the utmost assist-
ance in his power in pursuit of our mission, and no-
thing has been wanting on his part to afford us
hospitality on your Highness's behalf.
I tender also the best thanks of the Cotton Sup-
ply Association, as well as of the cotton trade of
the United Kingdom, for the attention you have
paid to the subject of their memorial, as also for
the personal kindness you have shown to Dr. Forbes
and myself.--I have the honour to be, your High-
ness's most obedient servant,
(Signed) G. R. HAYWOOD.
To his Highness Mohamed Said Pasha, Viceroy
