Note.—ln our estimate of the quantity taken for consumption
it will be perceived that we do not include any cotton manufac-
tured in the States south and west of Virginia, nor any in that
state, except in the vicinity of Petersburgh and Richmond.
The injury done to the crops in the Atlantic States towards
the autumn of 1834 led to various opinions as to the extent of
the whole crop, and it was asserted with great confidence, as
late as January last, that the amount could not exceed 1,150,000
bales. The event shows, that although there was a deficiency
in the Atlantic States of about 70,000 bales, compared with the
previous year—on the other hand, there was a gain from the
Gulf of Mexico of about 120,000, making acnet increase over
the previt us year in the total of about 49,000, and exceeding
by that amount any crop ever before produced.

A FRANCH FATR tor.—A soldier named Bougouin, after hav-
ing served with honour in the ranks of the Imperial Guard, re-
tired from the service with wounds fur his only trophy. At the
period of the restoration, on the occasion of a review, Bougouin,
who was anxious to obtain some employment, preferred the
length of his service to the Due d'Angouleme, as a claim to his
attention, which the loyal Duke rejected, terming the years of
service of which he boasted, years of origa►idage. Wben the res-
toration of July occurred, Bougouin hoped that these ill-omened
years of brigandage, as they were called, might serve as a claim
for some employineut on which hemight hope to Subsist ; but in
this expectation be was equally disappointed. When the attempt
of Fieschi was made, this man Bougouin, said in a public place
that he was sorry that Fieschi had missed his aim, for Louis Phi-
lips was a greater brigand and chouan than Charles X. tle was
in consequence cited to appear before the Tribunal of Assize of
Deux Sevres, accused of an offence against the person of the
king. The prisoner having entered into certain explanations,
and been energetically and vigorously defended by M. Pontois,
the jury returned a verdict of acquittal.

A BUNCH or FACTS.—In 1827, the immense steam engines
erected by Captain Grose, in Cornwall, were raising upwards
of sixty-one millions of pounds one foot high, by the consump-
tion of a single bushel of coal; and since then it has been stated,
that owing to the more effective working of steam, on what is
termed " the expansive principle," that quantity of fuel is made
to raise eighty-seven millions of pounds one foot high I That,
however, is a ratio far above the average result; 55,000,000%5.
lifted one foot high by each bushel of coaLs consumed, will be
nearer the actual result in practice. In 1832, there were sixty-
four steam-engines in Cornwall, four of them the largest ever
made : at that time the consumption of coal at these engines was
81,000 bushels per mouth, or 2800 per day : the effect of the
steam generated by the combustion of this fuel in draining the-
mines, was reckoned to be equal to the work of 44,000 horses.
