By this table it will be perceived that Pennsylvania is
the great mining state. Nearly one half of the value
raised from this prominent source of wealth is from that
state alone. With the exception of New York and Maa-
sachmietts, she is the greatest manufacturing state. No
, other state has so deep a stake in the continuance of the

tariff as Pennsylvaniri. The duties laid on coal and iron
are her shield aid protection. Were the duties taken off
she could not work her mines to any advantage, and the
probability is that in five years this great source of wealth
would dwindle down to an insignificant sum. The follow-
ing table exhibits the sources of we/kb from the various

It will be seen that agriculture is the great interest of the
country, being more than half of all the others put toge-
ther. The eastern and middle states are the Iv

1 manu

facturing districts. -The southern and south-western
states, Louisiana and Virginia excepted, have but a small
portion of manufactures. The question of state boundaries
is one seemingly certain to entail constant trouble on our
American friends. We have some particulars of a contro-
versy now going on as to the boundary of Missouri, and
it would seem that our friends, of such nice jealousy on
this point, are quite as hotly at war with themselves as
they were formerly with us on the State of Maine business.
It appears from paragraphs which we observe in the Mis-
souri papers, that the question of the northern boundary
of the state is not yet determined, and that the convention
of delegates of the people of loway, which was lately as-
sembled for the purpose of forming a state constitution,
has laid claim to a large tract of territory claimed by the
people of Missouri, as a part of that state. The question
in dispute is whether the state of Missouri is legally
bounded on the north by what is called " the old Indian

rage weekly delivery of 27,241 bales, against 26,
in 1843, and 22,920 bales in 1812. But, in order to arriv
with greater accuracy at the actual consumption of the
present year, an estimate must be made of the stock now
held by spinners, which is generally supposed to be less
by 30,000 bales than on 31st December, 1843: this
amount, therefore, must be added to the apparent weekly
consumption. Prices of the middling and fair qualities
of American are now lid., Brazil ltd., Egyptian 21d.,
and Surat lid. per lb. below the quotations in February,
when the market was at its highest point ; and from which,
with a few short intervals, the decline has been progres-
sive, until within the last three weeks, when there was a
rally of id. to d. per lb. On comparison with the quo-
tations at the close of 1843, the above qualities will now
be found id. to Id. per lb. below that period."
