The duties according TO the new scale are in
many instances, so exorbitant as TO amount to Il
prohibition upon their importation, and as the
greater part of the articles enumerated are of
British manufacture, and such as arc essential
TO the comforts oflife, the blow is perhaps aim
ed at the commerce OF England, and intended as
a ground on which to negotiate for their new
pretcnsion TO the navigation of the Saint Law
rcnce-the exorbitancy of the tariff viii in all
probability, defeat its ends, and deprive the
country of an important branch Gifts revenue by
the encouragement it will afford to the contra
band trade, against which it is impossible for n
country situated as is America, efIcctualIv TO

InsPite Of the Republican virtue which glows
in the breast of every American some unprni-

long extent of open frontier, 70 supply the wants
of their fellow citizens. Ifthe proposed measure

EGYPTIAN COTTON.

Translation ETA letter from .Marseilles to Me
| Editor Of the Paris Journal dis Commerce.
dated Dec. 81, 1928.
GO 1t falls within the province of your Journal
to make public reTolution which is preparing
7 in one of the most important branches of our
commerce.
cit is now four years since NJ. Jumel a
trenchTaan, conceived the idea of introducing
the cotton plant into Egypt from Brazil. The
| experiment completely succeeded; the Pacha
| ordered the plants to be propagated as fast as
! possible, and upon the most extensive scale. He
has ordered also that this production should be
called .F,smel Cotton. In the second year the
culture produced nearly 100000 kiIlograncs
in the third year twenty times as much, and now
in the fourth year, at the moment of my writing
there in the lazaretto of MarseiiIes 1000 bales
equal to 100000 killogrames, which are rea DIV
| for the manufacturer. The lazarettoes of I.co.-
horn and Trieste contain about the same quantity
we have here, and letters of the highest authori-
ty say that the entire crop will exceed 5000 900
! hillogrames. We can place no limits to the
future increase of this plant; the Pacha has il
cultivated very high up the Nile.
''The quality of this Gotten, which is of the
long staple kind, is excellent; when it obtains a
little more wilderness in color, and is better han
died, it will entirely supercede Louisiana and
Pcrnambuco Cotton. 1t is probable that our
manufactures will give ii the preference, more
| especially on account Of the low price to which
the abundant crops will reduce it.-Nhat will
| be the effect Of this upon our commercial reIa-
tons with the United States?
fstOp here and leave this subject, of which
| the consequences will be vast to the considera
ton of your readers, and of manufacturers and
merchants.

BosToN, March &c.
IasusTectiois al Tie State P,isoa.---A most
daring attempt was made yesterday at sunrise,
by some OF the convicts at the State Prison to
cape They rushed upon one of the officers 6,
threatened his life, in order to get the KEGS
which he had in his possession Fooled i'm this
attempt, they retreated to the ea;ng-hall; and
| a spirit oil mutiny and INSTRUMENTATION became
general through the Prison. The whole number
of the cOnvicts assembled there, many of them
armed with dangerous weapons, and refused TO
leave the hall or go to labor, unless their fellows
who hadattempted the life of the officer, could
be excused from punishment. The situation of
the officers, especially those who having charge
of the shops, were by this unexpected combi-
nation in the power Of the convicts, became Sc
riously alarming. The ordinary force in the
government of the prison, was found-insuflcicnt
TO quell the mutiny, unless at the expense of
life, which it woud have been horrible to have
incurred. Under these circumstances, a re-
quest was made to Major wainwright, cora.
manding the u. S. Marines, at the Navy Yard
for assistance, who with great readiness ordered
out his command and repaired himself to the
Prison. Immediately ON his appearance, all
resistance by the conyicts was terminated, the
ringleadcrs were subjected 10 punishment, and
good order restored throughout the yard. Great
credit is due to Major Wainwright for the
prompt assistance which he rendered ON this cri-
teal occasion, by the display of force which
made all further resistance unav ailing, and COM
PEELED the convicts to submit TO authority with
| out the loss of lives.
| In the assembly at the hall, two or three of
the prisoners who were disposed to obey the or
ders oft'ie government and return to labor, were
severely beaten, and SOME of them dangerously
wounded by the mutineers, but the instruction,
we are happy tolean, was quelled without any
| other injury. Patriot.

cIS, the aove AMI seS eral other works oinin0r inn
portanec, have been necessarily postponed.
The new feeder, which is calculated To- conduct
the water from above Glcn's Falls, TO the canal was
FAR finished to receive the from the river,
and To convey it TO the ncighborhood OF Sand-iiill
That part of the feeder which is composed of
limestone rock, and filed with and cracks,
leaked mnch on the admission of the water that
il was found necessary tn draw it OFF III order to
tighten the bottom and sides.
Afcl veral attempts, this object accomplish
Cd, and the conducted farther to the
ward into the sandy parr.
After the sand banks had become saturated with
water they settled considerably, and showed strong
symptoms of failure i'll several places and will he
necessary To line them with clay for considerable
distance before they will be secure
This feeder was not flushed during the last sea-
son because there suiiicency of funds for
that purpose, and also for the completion of the
eastern section and because the Cnamplain canal
is already amply supplied with water by the great
dam and feeder M Fort Edward.
The construction however OF a navigable feeder
from above Een's Falls, will open the canal, the
lumber and other productions ola considerable
of country.
The following IS the amonnt of soils collected
the canal:
At whitehall, s1l,l32 So
Fort Ann, 133 81
Fort Edward, 2,673 So
Fort Miller, 1851 90
Saratoga, o-3l3 63
Waterford, l142 62

S26,966 81
The amount Of transportation on the Champlain
canal. during TIE time the whole line was in opera
tion gives 4 mitch greater promise oft future
fuinoSs than had originally been expected.
To complete the Eric canal west OF Genesee river
will require expenditure of about one million of
dollars
The remainder ofthc Erie canal together with
the Champlain canal, willlprobaby require an
pcniiture OF two hundred thousand dallars and if
| u canal is made between Fort Edward and Fort
Nller,ln lieu of the the expenditure
may be increasodto three hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars.
| The damages on a great part of the Chanlplain
canal, arc yet to be appraised, also OF the
sections of the Erie canal.
What sum it will lie necessary TO appropriate for
this purpose, the canal commissioners unable
state and 1T Is submitted to the legislature make
such provision rs their wisdom shall direct.
The tolls collected on the canals during the last
year. have much exceeded the amount that was ex-
pected And if no material accidents should delay
or interrupt the navigation the ensuing season will
probably give not less than two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
| All which. is respectfully submitted.
