AGRlC u L T u R A L
COTTON CROP.

From the circular for Europe of the N. o. Commercial Times, of November last, the following estimate of the cotton crop is extracted:
 "With regard to the crop, the weather during the last three weeks has been of character to insure a most abundant yield in this section of the country. Not only have we had an entire cx- emption from rain, but the tenn perature has been so genial that the second growth las ripened, and the plant may now almost be considered beyond the inllu- ence of a frost. The planters are still so busily engaged in picking, that the arrivals have come forward slowly compared with other large crop seasons, but there can no longer Lea question that the total receipts at this port will view with those of any preceding year To the eastward! the prospects have likewise materially improved of which you will be more fully ad- viscd through yo IT cmreSpon- dents elsewhere so that we have no longer any hesitation in set ting on an estimate of :, 2,2O0,000 bales for the entire crop of tie United States"
 PROGRESS OF THE PICKING.
 From all the cotton States we hear of the picking season continuing usually favorable. The Planters, in all directions, have taken filI! advantage of this, md as a consequence, the tone of the newspapers, especially ' in the Atlantic otaies, has ma terially changed, within the past fortnight, as to the extent of the crop. The operations of the worm have been very partial and he has not gone to wolk, this sea son with the destructive effect as the stripped fields of last year bore eyidoIcc ol.
 In many parts of the cotton region, the picking Is light, but in many. others, there will be full crops. A fair and cautious glance all around us, then, lndu. ces us to raj >e our estimate of q fortnight ago, considerably. Il the latest reports from the Allan tic States are to be relied on (and why should they not be :? the amount of tic cotton crop 0 lS47-S will Hot full far short o- 2,2OO,0O0 bales.
