A CURIous FACT IN REGARD TO Corros

A Curious FACT IN REGARD TO CoTroN.
Many years ago the senior editor of this
paper was informed by his venerable and
hereditary friend, Samuel Maverick, ESQ.,,
OF Pendleton, that, when boy, as clerk in
the house of his uncle, Mr.. William Turpin,
of Charleston, he assisted in packing the
FIRST bag of cotton ever sent to Liverpool
from the United States. Mr.. Maverick is
still living, and we now export some 2,OOO,-
OOO of bags of cotton every year. The cot
ton packed by Mr.. Maverick was put up in
the seed. This was long teforc Whitney s
invention of the cotton gin. The consignee
of this lone bag of cotton informed the house
of Wadsworth and Turpin, that he could not
sell it 4; that it was valueless and advised
them not to send any more. How little this
faithful factor saw into futurity. If any one
had said to him, that in less than seventy
years, and during the lifetime ofthe boy who
had packed that very bale of cotton, millions
and millions of bags would be annually sent
across the Atlantic, for sale in England and
France, he would have pronounced him a
madman or fool. But it has been done,
and cotton has become the great means by
which civilization is to spread over the earth
The cheapness of cotton fabrics has taught
the savage to clothe himself, and exercise
industry in obtaining the means ofpurchasiDg
this comfort and evidence of civilization
Millions ofhuman beings are employed in the
cultivation OF cotton, hundreds of thousands
IN ITS manufacture, and the whole world are
clothed in it. This too has happened in the
lifetime of one man still living.
In connection with this matter, we will
state another equally curious fact, in relation
to the invention of the cotton gin. Some
years after the revolutionary war, the father
of Governor Forsyth, and some other gentle
men, who had heen in the service with Gen.
Greene, went to pay his widow a visit, in the
neighborhood of Savannah, and whilst there,
were speaking of the value and Importance
OF cotton, if there was any machinery for
picking out the seed. This operation was
then performed entirely by hand. Mrs.
Green Immediately said that there was then
in her house young man who seemed to
possess great mechanical talent, and she had
no doubt he could construct some machine
for the purpose. Young Whitney was then
introduced to the company. He had never
seen the cotton plant, bu, Immediately began
to think about the invention Ina short time
he constructed model ofa gin, but it want
ed some power to throw the cotton, as ginned,
from the seed. This, Mrs. Green herself
suggested. by using her fan for that purpose.
The machine was then completed. Mr..
Whitney received from South Carolina fifty
thousand dollars for his patent in this State.
He spent it, as it is said, in suits brought
against multiplicity Of persons, who had
inlringed on his patent in other States
Like all the great benelactors of mankind,
he has been paid in fame, after his DEATH

CONSULATE NoTICE.-In accordance with a
| J circular which was issued by the Minister
Of Foreign Relations of Chile on the oath of July
1850, TO Consuls of all nations. Be IT known to all
whom il NAV concern and relate, that by an act Of
the 10th July, 1850, law was passed in the Cham
bers of Chile, relating foreign vessels, by which

of Chile shall enjoy the same rights and privileges
as those bearing The national flag, excepting only
as relating to the coasting trade) under this condi-
ton. That each respective nation to which this
privilege extends, reciprocates the same advanta-
ees in each of their several ports Therefore, hav-
Ing corresponded with the government OF HIS ia,
waian Majesty, TO accept and reciprocate the full
sense of aiorenamed law, be it kpown that cap
tains of all Hawaiian vessels who from this date

OLD ENGLISH MANNERs.-ln the reign of
James l, men and women wore looking glas-
ses publicly the men as brooches or orna-
ments, in their hats; and the women at their
eirdles, or on their bosoms, or sometimes
like the ladies' of our day, in the centre of
their fans, which were then, made of feathers
inserted into silver or ivory tubes.
At feasts every guest brought his own
knife, and milestone was placed behind the
door, upon which he sharpened his knife as
he entered.
In 1864, Dutchman, named w. Boonen,
brought the first coach into England; and 1t
is said that the sight of it put both horses and
men into amazement. Some said it was a
crab sell brought out of China; and some
imagined il to be one Of the pagan temples
in which the cannibals adored the Devil.
The business Of cap making was ruined, in
1891, by the common wearing Of hats, which
then came in.o vogue.
Smoothing irons are of late invention in
the reigns Of Queen Elizabeth and James J.,
large stones inscribed with texts Of Scripture,
were used for that purpose.
A Mrs. Isabel Denton, Of Leeds, is said TO
have first invented hats and baskets made Of
straw.
In 1884, two rich women desired to marry
the Earl Of Huntington, for the sake Of the
title. One Of them offered to lay down
f2O, 900 on the day Of her marriage. The
other offered E500 year, during his life,

FIRST APPLICATION OF STEAM TO NAvIGA-
TIoN.-Thc Newark Daily Advertiser, ,refer-
ring to discussion which lately took place
in the New York Historical Society, re-
specting the much disputed question as to
who originated the application of steam, in
propelling boats-takes up the claims OF John
Fitch, and endeavors to show that the credit
due for the first invention should be awarded
to him. In support of this opinion, it cites an
Act of the New Jersey Legislature, dated
March IS, I7S6, entitled '' An Act for grant
ing and securing to John Fitch, the sole right
and advantage Of making and employing the
Steam Boat, by him lately invented, for
limited time.' This act, it is said, was pas
sed nearly twenty years, before any claims
were preferred by Robert Fulton The pre-
amble to the law represents thatJohn Fitch,
ofBucks county, Pennsylvania. has construct
ed an easy and expeditions method of pro-
pelling boats through tie water, by force of
steam. The succeeding sections grant to
Fitch the exclusive right of employing his
invention for fourteen years, under penalty
against all violators of the privilege. 1t is
further shown, from historical facts. that, in
the year following the passage of the act re-
ferred to, an experiment was made by Fitch
upon the Delaware River. and that he had
contributed largely to perfect the invention,
prior to the prominent events in the steam
navigation in which Fulton took part.
