Youls for Clay,

DfScovERlEs.-Many of the most impor-
tant discoveries in the fell Of science have
been the result Of accident. Two little sons
of spectacle makerln Holland, while their
father was at dinner CHANGED to look at Il stee
pie through two glasses, placed one before the
other. They found the steeple brought much
nearer the shop window. They told their IA
Their on Us return, and the Giro instance led
to course of experiments which ended in the
invention Of the telescope.
Some ship wrecked sailors collected a
quantity of sea-weed on the sand and made n
fire to warm their shiverng fingers and cool,
their scanty food. When the fire went out,
they found that the alkali of the sea-weed had
combined with the sand and formed glass. the
basis of all our discoveries in astronomy and
necessary to comfort.
In the days when every astrologer and
chemist was seeking after the philosophers

rails by accident invented gun powder, which
has done so much 10 diminish the barbarities
of war.
Sir Isaac Newton's most important discoy.
cries, concerning light and gravitation. were
the result of accident. His theory and ex-
perlments on light were suggested BY the soap
bubbles blown by a child, and the principle of
gravitation by the fall of an apple as he sat in
an orchard-and it was by hastily scratching
on stone memorandum of some articles

lithography first presented itself to the mind
of Stenefelder.

HuNT's MgRoHASr's MAGAZINE for January
"a usual, richtn matters Of commercial interest, We
copy the following statistics relating to British i'm.
porters and exports for the benefit of our mercantile
friends.
British COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION. Prom
an official statement recently made of the exports
AMI imports OF Great Britain to The different parts of
the world, for the year 1843 soma important Glcts
may be gathered to which we would direct attention.
In the trade between Britain and her colonies in the
western worl about 90 900 seamen are vearlyem,
pioyed. The amount Of wages and cost of rrovis,
IONS Tor these cannot be less than So 900 0OU yer
anhum; and the repairs, Insurance and replacing
OF capital in the ships, ga 800 900 more. In the
trade between Britain and lnlia and China, 1000
seamen are employed at similar rate. Their wa
ges, provisions, DC, will amount to $500, 900;
and the replacement of capital, and increase to
G840,000-in all, G1,340, 900. The whole, or
very nearly the whole of the supplies necessary to
maintain these seamen and tonnage, are the products
OF British soil and labor; and this, in a national
point OF view, shows the superiority of such trade
over merely manufacturing commerce. CONS
parlson OF the trade of the Eastern with that of the
Western world taking the value of imports and cx>
ports, stands nearly thus:
From and to British North America and West
Indian colonies, GA 100000; and from and to
emma and the East Indies G1G, 900 900. 1t thus
appears that the former commerce requires nearly
hive times more ships, tonnage and seamen to car
ry on than the latter, thereby aording an meal
culaole advantage to naval power, and the SUP
port OF naval force and also to the employment of
British agriculture, labor and capital 1t appears
that the weight of cotton yarn and goods exported
from England annually, is 100 900 tones; and the
value in round numbers being 923, 500, 900, it fol-
lows that one half the Tonnage is employed car,
rying the West Indian exports (viz: Ell 822, AL
would be sufficient 10 carry the whole cotton export
trade of the country; and, as regards the North
American trade, one seventy of the Tonnage would be
sufficient. While the trade with the West Indies
and British North America, Gin exports and i'm
ports about e14,O00,00O yenrly,) employs 1900

to $50 ships 233 900 tons The imports from
China are valued at about $4,000, 900, brought in
Sd ships, about 39,7I2 tons.

Gentlemen:-There has little improvement
IN business operations here within the pas,
few days. The last news from Europe gave
very considerable impulse to our cotton
market. The price advanced slightly; saw
l-S 10 Ia on all classes of cotton, and the de-
mand much improved. 1t seems TO be the
general impression here, that the article OF
cotton, has now reached the highest maxi.
mum point. Shippers think that the increas
ed amount of production the past year, and
the late season at which the rivers opened
has had very considerable tendency 10 sus.
tain prices thus far. AS the rivers are now
all In navigable condition, with a fair nros.
pect Of their continuing SO for some weeks
1t is apprehended that the receipt of supplies
will materially lessen the demand, if NOT The
prices.
Below, give few items taken from the
Price Current of this morning:
