SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.

There was very little business transacted at the rooms
to-day. Danae, for the Metropolitan Stakes, at 4 to 1
(taken), was the only horse named for that event. For
the City and Suburban Handicap, Thunderbolt and Pan-
cake were supported, and many inquiries were made
about Gabrielle d'Estrees, but 100 to 6 was declined. For
the Two Thousand Guineas - Stakes, Matador was rather
freely supported at 8 to 1, and Neighbour made an advance
since yesterday, 100 to 7 being taken. For the Derby, 9to
2 was offered against Dundee; Robin Hood was in de-
mand, at 30 to 1; and Neighbour was supported at 45 to 1.
There was no other change. For the Chester Cup, Killi •

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived our private correspondence and files of papers
from Bombay to the 12th of March, and from Cal-
cutta to the 3d of March.

We take the following from the Bombay Gazette
of the 12th of March :

"The overland mail of the 4th February arrived
here on the evening of Wednesday, the 27th ult.
The important news from America has created con-
siderable excitement in the cotton interest through-
out the country, and has directed special attention
to the subject of its more extensive cultivation. A
new impulse has been given to the production of
this important raw material, and many schemes
are being undertaken.with a view to render England
less dependent on America tor the supply of it.
We have no doubt there wil: be a rapid and steady
increase in the quantity, and improvethent in the
quality, of this staple produced and exported for
the English market. Manchester may preserve her
equanimity, India will feed the half-million of Lan-
cashire who live by cotton, and keep the 3.10,000
looms and. 28,000,000 spindles in that country in
motion. The following action has been taken by
the Government of India on the subject :

DIAN COTTON TO ENGLAND.
" Howe Department, Feb. 28.

" Resolution—His Excellency the Governor-General in
Council has had under his consideration the possibility of a
greatly and suddenly increased demand for Indian cotton in
England, and he desires to draw the attention of each local
government within the territories of which cotton-produc-
ing and cotton-exporting districts lie to those measures
whereby the power of India to meet such increased demand
for cotton may be augmented by help of Government.
" It is to be observed :

"' 1. That no measure which places Government in the
position of the private capitalist, cultivator, or speculator,
or which in any way interferes with private enterprise,
can be otherwise than permanently injurious in itself and
detrimental to the object in view.
" ' Therefore all attempts to stimulate cultivation or
labour, by any exertion of Government authority, directly
or indirectly, are out of the question.
" The same objection will apply to model farms and ex-
perimental cultivation conducted by officers of Government.
" 2. No measure will meet the object immediately in
view unless it shall tell on the new production of cotton
during the next season, and on our means of getting that
season's crop to port. This limitation will exclude from
present consideratian such projects as railways or canals,
which, although the surest permanent means of increasing
our power of export, could be made to tell to only a very
limited degree on the exports of the next few seasons.
Moreover, the attention of Government is already directed
to promote these works to the utmost extent compatible with
its financial means, and even so serious a calamity as an
apprehension of a short supply of cotton in England Could
hardly add to the desire of the Government of India to ad-
vance them as rapidly as possible.
" The question for consideration is, what can the Go-
vernment do towards facilitating an immediate increase of
production, and towards improving the means of bringing
the produce to port ?
" As to increasing production.—The solution of questions
connected with the tenure ofland,and with the law regarding
contracts for the delivery of agricultural produce, which are
now under the consideration of Government, may ultimately
produce a very considerable effect on the investment of Euro-
pean capital in the cotton districts,but the result could not be
immediate. More probably an immediate increase of the
coming crop of cotton will depend on the rapidity with which
information regarding the demand and prices in England
can be communicated to the producers in the cotton districts,
and on the removal of all impediments to intimate and rapid
communication between those who grow or collect the cot-
ton in the interior and the merchants who export it from
the port of shipment. Directly and indirectly the Govern-
ment may do something to promote these objects, especially
if agents of the commercial community of our ports will visit
the cotton-producing districts, and do all that may be
effected by personal intercourse to reduce the number of
hands through which the produce must pass between the
place of production and the place of shipment. There is also
much valuable statistical information regarding the extent
of cotton cultivation which it may be in the power of the
Government officers to furnish from the public records, or
to verify, when obtained through other means.
" ' The operations in the interior of our capitalists at our
seaport towns may be facilitated by affording them the aid
of the Government Treasury in their banking arrangements
in those parts of the country where as yet no private banks
have been established. The agents of respectable firms at
the Presidency towns might be permitted, under certain
rules, to have their bills on the Presidency cashed at the
'Government Treasuries, paying no more premium than the
actual cost of conveying the coin. This, without entailing
expense on Government, might often prove a convenience
to the merchants. _ _

" As to improving the means of bringing the produce
to port, it is by facilitating existing means of communica-
tion, even though it be in a rough way, that Government
can best aid the merchant promptly without exceeding its
legitimate functions.
" < Projects for bridged and metalled roads are not prac-
ticable within the next year or 18 months ; but there is a
great extent of country capable of producing cotton, which

is now not easily accessible to ordinary country carts, even

during the fair season, and probably it is by improving the
present country cart and hack bullock tracks, and thus ex.
tending the mileage over which an ordinary load of cotton
may be conveyed at the rate of 21 or 3 miles per hour, that
the export of the next RPSI/4011'13 crop may be most effectually
aided.

" ' In this view the Governor-General in Council requests
that each local Government will at once take measures to
have the lines of traffic between their cotuw—r—J''''ng dis-
