CONSUMPTION or CoTroN IN THE UNITED
STATEs.--The Hon. Abbot Lawrence, Of
Boston, in letter to a gentleman in Viz
ginia, on the subject Of Cotton, says:
"Our consumption reached. the last year,
l76s000.O0O of pounds, which is equal 10
the whole crop Of the Union in 1925, and
equal to the whole consumption of Great
Britain III 1926 This is a striking fact, and
one that should be remembered by the plan
Iers. The history Of the production and
manufacture Of cotton is so extraordiary, that
/ propose TO send to You some statistics on
the subject, furnished me by friend. /
hope you will not deem me over sanguihe,
when tell you that il is my belief that the
consumption of cotton in this country will
double in eight or nine years, and that it will
reach 400, 100000 Of pounds in 1856; and
farther, that we are not only destined to be
the greatest cotton growers, but the most
extensive cotton spinneEs, in The world. We
have all the elements among ourselves 10
make us so. The maufacture Of cotton is
probably in its infancy but moderate por-
lion of mankind have yetbeen clothed with
this heahhful and cheap artical.

OF The Oregon question seems to be the
chief topic Of the day, but we cannot see
the use Of any further discussion Of the
subject. 1t is one which has been before
the people for years, their minds are made
up upon the question and their verdict has
been recorded in its favor, and Jet England
adopt what course Of conduct she plcases,
our country will ever meet them with the
same bold front, before which the English
Lion has before this cowared-and shauld
war come, which, may God forbid our citi
zens will come up with one heart and one
mind to drive the invader from our soil.

STEAMBOAT SUNK.-The fine Steamer

No lives lost. The boat is supposed to be
a total loss.

The present state Of our foreign relations
and the great interest manifested through.

Mr.. Buchanan and MIR. McLane, entire, be-
lieving that there are many who have not
yet seen the full correspondence.
We will not attempt to make review of
this correspondence, but leave every reader
to make it in his own mind, but we would
call the attention of the reader to the diplO.
matte tact displayed by Mr.. Pakenham, and
to The firm, unchanged position of Mr..
Buchanan on the question Of title.

o. The Toronto (Canada) PARROT insists
very strongly upon the necessity Of opposing
the American claim to Oregon, not so much
from the valae Of the territory itself, as be.
cause the claim forms part of dangerous
and extended scheme Of aggrandizement:'
That paper adds:
"The FIRST object is Oregon, the second
California, and the ultimate design is 10 OBJ
tain command Or The Chinese and Indian
Oceans. Were the United States to include
within her limits the whole of California and
all the coast noTthward OF the Russian pos
sessions, she would, by the excellent harbors
and abundant materials for ship building
thus secured, become a dangerous enemy to
the British flag in the East. Were she, in
addition, 10 square her Texas frontier to the
Pacific, and obtain, as must follow, the pro-
tectoEate or possession Of Mexico, some
future President may take example from
Constantine and remove the Capitol from
Washington to the Bay Of San Francisco,
for tbele would be the centre of his power,
and our Indian Empire would be tenable
only by the most intense exertions."

her natural life, or pidowhood," the words vor
widowhood" imposed condition in restraint of
marriage, which is inconsistent with The policy of
The law, and, therefore, void, The estate of the
woman, who had married again, was held to be
an estate for life absolute. The intention of the
dcvisor, as gathered from the will, evidently was,
that his wife, if she survived him, should have
an estate for life if she remained single and that
she should forfeit it by second marriage ST.
