Washington and other cities, which we received
by telegraph during yesterday. and in the Of
the evening, well as the ceremonies which took
place in New York and adjacent cities. These pro-
seedlings will be read with melancholy interest," and
the only consolation left U.S. is, that full honors
and respect, civil and military, paid TO the re-
mains of our late lamented chief magistrate The
people everywhere, according 10 accounts, were
DESTROYS of evncing their respect for the venerable
General Taylor, and testified it in the usual me Ian

NOTTON-lIN
-, eres, INFLUENCE UPON THE WORLD
-, al arrival from Europe is watched with !
~ H. Spectators more inqusitive about
&c state Of the cotton market in the old world,
than upon any other subject. "HowAs cotton %
is the first question, and, till it y, answered,
nothing else must be talked about. Politics,
finance, revolutions, diplomacy, cabinet intrigues,
are nothing TO cotton. This r0markabl vegeta-
bic production rules the world; and, our ceun-
try grows an immense surplus above its own
consumption, we may be said 10 rule the world.
This seems to be fully acknowledged in Europe,
and the dependence on this country, in this impor-
tant particular, has led the English TO pay very
close attention TO .he cultivation of cotton in India
and other parts of the world. few years ago,
seven eight AHerican planters were selected by
the East india Company to make experiments in
India but these all failed in the object for which
they had been engaged, and, after spending five
hundred thousand dollars, the enterprise was al
most abandoned. The dry and wet seasons are be-
leyed to be great objections to the cultivation of
the plant, at least in many districts. As many as
two bales of cotton, say nine hundred pounds, can
be obtained sometimes from single acre of land
in this Countrywide single acre in India eftener
yields one hundred pounds than larger quantity.
| The necessity, however, OF having competing
growth with that of the United States, recently
| has brought about more favorable results in India,
and the English are very proud in Boosting that, at
no distant day, they will do without American cot
ton, by increasing vastly the production in Egypt
ahd in the East Indies.
Without doubt some very considerable changes
will take place in the growth and consumption of
cotton, during the next five ten years. 1t being
the sovereign staple Of the world, great nations will
apply its power largely for political purposes We
have its effect upon nations since lsl6-how it
has regulated the money market between Great
| Britain and the United States--how it has estab-
lished and perpetuated long and blessed peace,
and how powerful it now Is, in keeping the world
| free from the alarms of war. Between Great
Britain and India it has been to be ligament
that binds these islands of the to q mighty and
barbaric empire, as nothing else could hold them.
| Our country, however, is the great consumer of
cotton, and should slave labor be abolished, our
crops be diminished, and We possess no surplus for
England, it is only reasonable to suppose that there
would soon be found pretext for war with us on
the part of Great Britain. Till we have no cotton
| TO purchase peace, we safe.
