The posages, however, gradually increased;
and on The 5th of January, l647, amounted 10
fl978,293-stl making loss of revenue, after
seven years trial. Of but little less than two mil
lions Of dollars and yet, in The face of these state
men,s published by the Cheap Postage Associa
lions circulated everywhere, certain newspapers
and others, over jealous in the cause, are con-
sanity repeating The gains 10 the British repsnue
from the Introduction oil he penny system; and
n addition 10 this, The expenditures grew as rap
idly as The revenues, so there was but two or three
hundred thousand dollars surplus on the 5ih OF ia.

which was the surplus prior TO its introduction
But, in addition to this, the Cheap Postage
Association do not remember or choose 10 state
that Great Britain still maintains the highest
rates on her foreign correspondence OF any ma

mercal world, the foreign correspondence is great
er with thai nation than any other, and very
large proportion OF the revenue arises from it.
The exact amount is not stated in The tables pub
lished by the Cheap Postage Association. II is
probable that one.half the revenue arises from
tha, source. The publications in The English
| newspapers some time since showed that The
hostages by the Cunard line amounted to SOME

FIRST TowNS Is ANERIcA--It will seem Gu.
rious TO those who are not aware oflhe fact, that
the first towns built by Europeans upon the
American continent were ST. Augustine, in East
Florida, and Santa Fe, the capital OF New illex-
leo. The river ella was explored before the
Mississippi was known, and gold was sought in
California long ere the first white man had en-.
deayored to find home on the shore of New
England. There are doubtless trees standing
within the fallen buildings Of ancient Panama
that had commenced TO grow when the cities Of
Boston and New York were covered with the

PRODUCTION OF COTTON.

The Charleston Mercury groups together
q number ofstatisiical facts, exhibiting the ialla
cy Of the cry OF cover production showing
that the consumption Of American cotton is equal
to It's production and that low prices cannot be
legitimately attributed 10 an over. supply. 4
comparative table q the production aud cons
sumption otcotton g. the last fifteen years, VIZ;
from 1894 to ls4s. boh inclusive, shows that the
production was 2S,l22 geo bales, and that the
consumption was 2S,279 000 bales; viz con.
sumption in Europe 23.ll0,000, and in America
100000 bales. Here too is developed the
striking fact, that the boosted "Home Market"
has not one fourth the capacity Of the market of
Europe, from which the poectionists would ex>
cude US. The Mercury very properly urges the
planters not to give currency % an opinion which
must be injurious 20 .Aeir interests, though the
low pnces il induces are agreeable enough to the
manufacturers on both sides Of the water. In
Isle, it was confidently asserted, that the crop
would reach 100000 balcs--thc crop was
therefore hurried to market, and sold at ruinousy
low rates. The result showed 100000 bales
short Of the estimate, bat it was too late to be o.
service to the producer.
