TIE COTTON MARKET.

The prospect Of an advance in the price
OF cotton, is rendered still more gloomy by
recent foreign accounts. Heretofore when
prices were so low, causes might be found
in the depressed state of manufacturing
and other interests, abroad and some Of
our whig alarmists have even attributed
low prices to want Of protection" extend
ed to the few manufacturers at home
Now, however, it is evident to all that the
cause Of the extreme low prices is over.
production for the extent of the Demand
The following, from the Liverpool cores
pendent of the NJ Y. Sun. which we Gull
from our exchange, shows the condition
and prospects of the Market.
The manulactories are in full employ.
The operatives are all at work; the export
demand for cotton twist has been enormous
this year, and is increasing. The China
trade, particularly TO the Northern ports,
has greatly increased, but ii is believed
that the very low prices of goods have in.
duced the buyers in China to lay in hea-
Wy stock, so that what amount Of goods
may actually hereafter be demanded for
that market is uncertain. The spinners in
England are making more money now than
they ever have before, Notwithstanding the
low price of twist. They continue to sup
ply themselves with cotton from week
TO week, without evincing any disposition
to lay in stocks, and the general feeling
seems to be that cotton will fall to point
never before known, if the crop turns out
as large as has been reported"
On the eve of another planting season,
it may not be amiss to suggest to planters
whether it would not be good policy to turn
their attention to the production of provl-
sions and home supplies of every descrip-
ton, rather than depend on the proceeds
of a cotton crop at the prices which viii
probably be obtained another year.
"One-half the thieves, and nine-tenths
of the beggars in this country, are foreign
ers."
We find this assertion among column
of billngsgate and abuse of a similar strain,
in late number of the Louisville Journal,
and we copy it to show how the wings es-
innate their respectable foreign fellow
citizens,' as they called them before the
elections as well as to show the weapons
Of alsehood which are used in this war
upon foreigners. They lay great stress
upon the influx of "vagabonds" and "pau-
pers" from abroad. Better we should re-
ceive the inmates Of all the Poor-houses in
Britain, than copy the systems which have
pauperised them,

Remarks upon Coral formations IN the Pacific;
wiM Suggestions as to The Causes Of their
absence IN the same parallels Of latitude on
the Coast Of South .america. BY JOSEPH
P. CoUrHoUY. Boston, 1912.
(Concluded.)
Speaking of the different classes Of r%avines,
he says
cat Hilo, on the Island of Hawaii, there is a very
beautiful mini ture ravine Of this class, at the cas-
cadc of Waianuenue, e. the water of the rainbow,")
and there are grand examples Of it in the falls Of
Waialua and Hanapepe in the island Of Kauai, es-
pcciilly in the latter, which pitch down full five hun
dred feet, into a circular basin about one thousand
feet round, hemmed in by walls of alternately col
umnar and ~stratified lava, the only break in which is
the nlrrOw outlet for the stream. If we imagine the
rapids of Lake Erie to be a plain, girt with lofty
mountains, with the Niagara flowing through it, and
this latter nlrrowed below the fills to one fourth its
present width, we shall have a very good idea ofthe
ravine under consideration. Ofthose similar in form,
but having no sire I'm Of water, there is a fine eXem-
pliicltion in the great amphitheltre at the head Of
the Nuulnu valley, in Oahu. They are also to be
seen in full perfection, on the north side Of the Ridge
Of Konahuanui, between the Pail, or p~recipice Of
Nuuanu, and KualOa."
His description of the Hanapepe cascade,
we think somewhat exaggerated, as to height
and dimensions. We have visited it twice,
and like Mr.. G. were unable to measure it
otherwise than by computations; but ours falls
far below his. In regard to the changes
which have occurred here, he writes as fol-
lows:-
cat the Hawaiian islands, which are still
the seat Of volcanic action on a magnificent
scale, the elevation has been much greater
and its proofs more apparent than perhaps in
any other region Of Polynesia. The islands
ofMaui, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai, abound
in such evidences, of which | will specify
here only a few of the most striking.
cat Oahu on the south side, the whole
plain ON which the town of Honolulu is stu
ated, is an elevated coral reef, extending be-
tween three and four miles from East to West,
and varying from half a mile to a mile in
breadth. The landward side of this reef is
highest, being, as we'll as ! can remember,
about twenty feet above the sea. In certain
parts, like that for instance on which the town
is built, the reef is covered to a depth offrom
two to five feet with ashes and fine scoriace-
Gus sand, which were probably elected from
the now long extinct craters ofPuawaina, just

tAmong the evidences of the slow increase of corals, al

experiments made at long intervals on the depth Of chan.

aside, since il is clear that such depth might be increased
or diminished by a subsistence or elevation Of the reef, and
therefore no correct inference as to the growth ofthe corals
