THE EAST INDIA COTTON ENTER.
PRIZE.

The most important, to Americans, ofthe
contents OF papers by the Garrick, is the
news from Bengal, announcing the COM
pIete failure on the part Of the American
planters TO raise cotton in that district OF
llindostan, IN consequence OF the hot
winds and bad climate. United States cot
Ton growers, it would seem, have little to
fear from that quarter for some time. All
things, indeed, seem tending towards an
increase of traffic between the Two coun.
tries. England will, before long, freely
take our provisions and bread stufs as well
As cotton and tobacco, and from our late
elections it would seem that the Americans
are not inclined longer to bolster up man
utaclures at the expense OF commerce and
