LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

Thursday Evening, Dec. 6ih, 1832.

On. Tuesday last the demand for Cotton was very moderate, only
1000 bags being sold ; yesterday the trade bought to the extent of
3000 bags ; and to-day only 1000 bags are taken, the whole chiefly for
spinners' orders ; prices remaining without alteration from our last
week's quotations. Arrived 1 vessel from Bombay, and 1 from
Charleston.

CURRENT OF THE ATLANTIC.---Between the tropics, espo-
cially from the coast of Senegal to the Caribbean sea, there is
a stream that always flows from east to west, and which is named
the equinoctial current. Its mean rapidity may be estimated
at ten or eleven miles in twenty-four hours. This movement of
the waters, which is also observed in the Pacific Ocean, having
a direction contrary to that of the earth's rotation; is supposed
to be connected with the latter only in so far as it changes into
trade-winds those aerial currents from the poles, which, in the
lower regions of the atmosphere, carry the cold air of the high
latitudes towards the equator ; and it is to the general impulse
which these winds give to the surface of the ocean, that the
phenomenon in question is to be attributed. This current car-
ries the waters of the Atlantic towards the Mosquito and Hon-
duras coasts, from which they move northwards; and passing
'into the Gulf of Mexico, follow the bendings of the shore from
Vera Cruz to the mouth of the Rio del Norte, and from thence
to the mouths of the Mississippi and the shores at the southern
extremity of Florida. After performing this circuit, it again
directs itself northward, rushing with great impetuosity through
the Straits of Bahama. At the end of these narrows, in the pa-
rallel of. Cape Canaveral, the flow, which rushes onward like a
torrent, sometimes at the rate of five miles an hour, runs to the
north-east. Its velocity diminishes and its breadth enlarges_ as
it proceeds northward. Between Cape Biscay-9 and the Bank
of Bahama, the width is only 52 miles, while in 20M 0 of lati-
tude, it is 59, and in the parallel of Charleston opposite Cape
Heplopen, it is from 133 to 173 miles, the rapidity being from
three to five miles an hour, where the stream is narrow, and
only one mile as it advances' owards the north. To the east of
Boston, and in the meridian of Halifax, the current is nearly
276 miles broad. Here it suddenly turns towards the east : its
western margin touching the extremity of the great bank of
Newfoundland. From this to the Azores, it continues to flow
to the E. and E.S.E., still retaining part of the impulse which
it had received nearly 1150 miles' distant in the Strait's of Flo-
rida. In the meridian of the Isles of Cervo 'and Flores, the
most western •of the Azores, it is not less than 552 miles 'in
breadth. From the Azores it directs itself towards th Straits
of Gibraltar, the island of Madeira, and the. Canary Isles. To
the south of Madeira we can distinctly follow its motion to the
S.E. and S.S.E., bearing on the shores of Africa, between
Capes Cantin arid Bojador. Cape Blanco, which next to Cape
Verd, farther to the south, isthe most prominent part of that
coast, seems- again -to , influence the 'direction of the stream ;
and in this parallel it mixes with the great equinoctial current
as already described. In this manner the waters,of the Atlan:
tic, between the parallels of 11 deg. and 43 deg are carried
round in a continual whirlpool, which Humboldt calculates
must take two years and ten months to perform its circuit of
13;118' miles. This- great current is named the Gulf-stream.
Off the coast of .Newfoundland a branch separates from it, and
rubs from S.W. to N.E. towards the coasts of Europe.—Edin-
burgh Cabinet Library.
