British and american Prices
Mr.. Hale, of the Journal of Com
mercc, has boon taking trip to the
head Of Lake Michigan. The follow
ing arc part Of his observations:
"At Cleveland met with Yankee
who had some twelve years ago bought
a large tract Of land on the borders of
a stream upon the Canada shore. lie
had erected saw mills and now makes
il the regular business of brig to
bring his lumber to Cleveland, Buha-
10, sc. and take back other goods. He
bought several bales of domestics, sat
inetts, and low woolens at Cleveland,
which he said be could pay the duties
upon, and still they would be cheaper
than he could procure them at Montre-
al, or anywhere in the colonies. Such
fact "speaks volumes" as to the com,
parative cheapness of those kinds OF
goods which Americans have made
long enough TO become skilled in the
business.
An officer of the customs at Detroit
informed me that formerly caarpets
and coarse woolens were Struggled
from Canada into the United States
but that now the current had become
changed, and carpets. at least, were
extensively carried the other way
Bear in mind, reader, that these are the
poor who have been told for three years
past that they were taxed three or four
times as much as the rich had to pay
on their fabrics. These ure the goods
on which Mr.. Walker says we pay so
many millions of duties that do not get
into his Treasury. What is the fact
Mr.. Hale, the ablest free trader among
US, bears testimony that many of these
fabrics are cheaper than their British
rivals, but so much so that Canadian
merchants actually come over TO Cleve-
land to buy our fabrics, and pay Can.
adam duties upon them. Do you hear
that, Silas Wright, of Watertownl-
Do you hear it, DR.. Denton, of Michi-
gan IN. Y. Tribune.

Dreadful Explosion Of Fire Damp,
&c.-On the afternoon of Wednesday
last, at the colliery worked by Mr..
George Rich, on the west branch OF
the Mt. Carbon road, known as Lewis
vein, an explosion Of gas took place
which was most disastrous in its results.
1t was followed by what is known to
miners as choak damp, and black or
after damp, by which eight men were
overpowcred. So violent was it, that
for long time no assistance could be
ex tended to them successfully, and
Mr.. Rich, the owner, who entered
was near falling victim to his philan-
thropy. At last they were cxtricated,
six Of them perfectly insensible, one,
named John Tiley, dead, and not long
after yet another, who though in longer
than any Of the rest was yet recovered.
Mr. Rich himself was, for a long time,
in state Of Inconsistencies and delir-
ium but is we learn, recovering as are
all who were taken from the shaft
alive. The scene we learn from one
who was present, was ofheartfelt inter-
est; the prostration Of the sufferers, the
dismay OF the spectators,a and the agony
of the families of the injured men, pre-
scented one of those scenes which per-
sons who do not live in mining districts
can form no adequate idea of.-[Potts

Cotton i'm Turkey.

The Sultan of all the Turkeys has
resolved upon an experiment IN the
cultivation Of cotton in his dominlons'
He will probably succeed and If he
do, he will open a source OF great
wealth to his people. The Southern
planters who went to India, to make
experiments, have ascertealned that IL
will not produce long stapled cottons'
the climate being too wet during the
period of growth. One ofthese persons
having referred, in some Of his reports
on the subject, to Asatc Turkey as a
country in which cotton would flourish,
the suggestion was communicated, by
the American minister at Constantine
pie, to the Sultan, who Immediately
addressed our Executive upon the sub
iect. The Secretary Of State referred
the Sultan's communication to South
ern member of the House, who refer
red it to DR.. Davis, of South Carolina,
the planter whose overseer had gone to
India to make the experiment there,
and who had suggested the cultivation
of cotton in Turkey. DIR. Davis and
DIR. ]. l.. Smith, both of South Caro-
lima, have already departed for Con
stantinople, to make experiments IN
the service of the Sultan.
Asiatc Turkey contains about $780,
600 square miles, between Lats. 80
and AS North, and contains eight prov
inces, compromising the old divisions
Of Natalia, Syria, Assyria, Armenia,
Mesapotamia. Chaldea and Palestine,
which last is properly part of Syria.
All the Northern portions of this ex-
tensive region have mild climate
But the cotton region will probably
be Syria, stretching along the Eastern
shore Of the Mediterranean, and Mes
opotamia, containing the provinces of
Irak and AL Gesira,a and stretching from
the Northern shore of the Persian
Gulf, in Lat. 80, along the Euphrates
and Tigris. The province of lrak,
extending from the Persian Gulf to
Lat 35, watered by the Euphrates and
Tigr:s, and bounded by the mountains
OF Persia on the East, and those of
Arabia on the West, must be well
suited to the cultivation of cotton, the
climate being hot, and the country be-
ing well watercd without being marshy.
II is a hot, well watered, alluvial and
upland region, resembling Tennessee
and Georgia in some features, and
South Carolina in others. II is the an
Gent Chaldca. syria, including Pal
estinc, is also hot, upland region,
well watcrcd from the Mediterranean
shore TO the desert on the borders OF
Arabia. At Gesra, an inland region
between the Euphrates and Tigris, ex
tending from Lats. SO TO 80, is beau
tiful country, diversified with hills and
valleys, we'll watcred, and exceeding
" fertile. II resembles, in its princi-
pal features, the uplands Of South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. In
all these regions, the climate is milder
than the United States in the same par
allels; and As they produce every thing
else abundantly, that requires mild oil
warm climate, they will, doubtlcss,pro
duce cotton.
