A PROCLAMATION.

During the year which is now approaching to
its close, it has pleased the All-wise Ruler
of the Universe graciously to extend to the
good citizens of our beloved Commonwealth
the benignanI smiles of His Providence-to
avert from us the grievous calamities of for
eIgn war, the devestations of the pestience
the horrors of famine and the dreadful curse
of intestine commotion-to reward the Ia
bors of the Springtime with the golden fruits
fAutumn-to grant us health, security and
tranquility-to continue to us the enjoyment
of our civil and religious Liberty, and the
means of intellectual & moral improvement,
and to permit US to live quietly under the
laws framed and administered by the Rep
resentativc. of the People;
do, therefore, in compliance with a GUS
tom, commended to US alike by its antiquity
and its social and moral advantage, appoint
THURSDAY, THE SECOND DAY OF
DECEMBER NEXT, to be observed though
out this State, as day of Public Thanksgiving,
Prayer and Praise to Almighty God for these,
his manifold mercies and blessings: and do
earnestly recommend that every employment,
inconsistent with the duties of such an occa-
sion, may, on that day, be abandoned-that the
People may assemble in their several places of
public worship, and mark the expression of
their gratitude with the humility, devotion,
and solemnity which become Christian Peo-
pie.
Let us, on that occasion, humbly implore
our Heavenly Father TO continue to watch over
us and preserve us-to enable us 10 live in
peace with the Nations-to give us wisdom 10
devise efficient measures for the support of our
Schools and Colleges, the safeguards of our
Republican Institutions-to grant that we may
preserve inviolate our Independence as a State
and our Union as Nation-to inspire the
American People with the noble resolution
speedily TO number the institution of Slavery
among the forsaken inquiries of the world-to
bcstow wisdom and grace upon all who are
called 10 rule over us, and TO incline our hearts
to such an humble and faithful compliance
with the acquisitions of His Holy Word, as
shall entitle us 10 the reward of the blessed.

ENGLISH COTTON Us. AMERICAN.

We have before noticed the plans of the
British Government to extend the cultivation
of Cotton in their Colonies, particularly in H.
da. The designs that were developed last
year of substituting their own production for
the production of this country, by taxing the
importation of ours while their own should be
admitted free of duty, and by other means, are
IN fair way of being accomplished.
BY referring 10 the English and East India
papers, we find such statements as the annexed,
which show that the views expressed last year
were correct. Our Southern friends NAV, be.
fore long, find that England is not their only
market, and that the home market, which takes
2s6,000 bales, is their most ssre one.-Bosion

Production OF COTTON IN INDIA.-On ex-
aiming into the supplies Of cotton brought to
this market during the twelve months ending
the 31st of May, we find that the result is well
calculated TO astonish those who have not been
marking the progressive increase of this product
but have been dwelling with fancied security
on the recollections of what used to constitute
large supply for us, viz. 100000 to $50 600
bales. 1t appears, then, that from the first of
June, 1910, to the first of June, 1s4I, the i'm
ports of cotton into Bombay have amounted
to 74,2l2,755 pounds; or, on the previous
average, of 81 cwt. TO the bale, AIS, 606 bales,
little short of halfa million of screwed bales
This is larger quantity than America produ-
ced up TO the year 1926, and more than was
consumed in Eng land during the same year.
