no difficulty now in getting the quality required at the an-
nexed quotations ; our planters finding them in demand, have
sent their first picking in. The low and middling qualities
have been in constant demand for the Liverpool market at 8}

reports of the crop from Mississippi are, that they are likely,
from the tine mild weather they have, to make an amount in

COTTON CROP OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
iing is an extract from a report made by E. G.
~ to the South Carolina Agricultural Society :
mittec have been struck with the coincidence of
hose of whom they inquired as to the failure of
crop, and believe, that if they were disposed to
most accurate conclusion on the subject, they
ite the failure of the Upland crops of the State
for the year 1840, at five-eighths of the
which amounted to 304,569 bales, and which
le present crop 188,400 bales. But, believing
safer course would be to under, rather than to over,
estimate the failure, with a view to give greater confidence in
the future reports of this society, they have concluded to fix
the present crop at about 200,000 bales. Your committee
regret, that they have not been able to procure as ample in-
formation in relation to the Santee and Sea Island cottons as
they would desire, but believe that the failure will be very
nearly one-half the crop of 1839."

STEAM IN THE UNITED STATES AND IN
ENGLAND:

(From the New York Herald)
mpiled the following curious table. It shows
f steam-boat accidents in this country and in
since the introduction of steam-navigation,
now having about eight hundred steam-vessels.
Unitcd States. Great Britain.
Vessels. Lives Lost. Vessels. Lives Lost.

This is as accurate as can be ascertained. But in addition
there were four hundred and fifty wounded in this country.
And in Great Britain, three steamers, the Erin, Forty, and
were wrecked with all on board, which are not in-
the above. It is supposed that one hundred and
.oty lives were lost in them. These, however, do not
swell up the loss there to the loss here ; and the table shows
the recklessness with which human life has been sacrificed
'his country. But from the English returns it appears
standing twenty years' experience, the year 1838
the mat disastrous to steamers on the other side of the
ktlantic.
