From the Washington Corespondence Of
the n. Z. Tribune.
The arrival Of the Acadia gives as piece
Of information likely perhaps 70 be over
looked IN their eagerness for more pFomi.
nent matters, but which, nevertheless, is
pregnant with more important effects, in
reference TO our commercial prosperity,
than either the annexation Of Texas or the
occupation Of Oregon. Until within the
last few days, little attention has been
awakened By The silent, steady, and
perseVering efforts &c Great Britain, TO in.
troduce the cotton culture in her East India
possessions. We have occupied ourselves
with abusing her grasping Tapacit7 in push>
ing her cOnquests from Fort George TO the
afghan territory, but have entirely over.
looked one Of her great objects. TO secure
sufficient supply Of cotton for her manu-
factories, 10 the event Of the importation
from the United States being cut of by any
adverse course Of events. The report Of the
committee of the Bombay Chamber of Com
merce, received in England just before the
departure Of the Acadia, indicates the sue
cess with which the experiments in the cul>
tiYation of cotton from American seed are
proceeding. The crops Of Bourbon and
Sea Island, on the banks Of the kEisBa, ale
described a. luxufiant, and the success Of
the New Orleans appears TO be beyond a
doubt" "Your committee trusts that the
time is drawing nigh when we shall be able
to calculate on regular supply Of such cot.
ton" These statements are calculated TO
: alarm our Southern brethren, who are in-
dulging in the fantastic dream, that with
! the aid Of Texas, they are about to monOp.
! ollie the supply of cotton for the European
! market. While We rave at the British thirs
+ for territory, we follow her example, and a
J. the very moment when we are Boosting o
our power to cripple British manufactures
:, by Withholding The staple material, the go
> yernment Of Great Britain is employing it
i self successfully in cultiEating the impor,
: tant article on her own soil, aud in forcing
:, her fabrics into new markets. Il will b.
wise 10 prepare ourselves for the coming
events, Of which the shadows are obtrudinl

that il was all ''pOr ct Mill prGtereG"-the
