A NOTABLE CorToN FAcT.-A return recent
ly issued of the quantities of cotton imported
into England, presents some remarkable totals.
In 1850. the imports from the United States
were 493 l53,Il2 h., while in l849, there had
been 634,5O4 ,O50 lbs. On the other hand, the
imports from the East Indies were IL 8 ,S72, ,742
lbs. in 1850, the total in ls49 having been only
70838,5I5. Thus while the quantity imported
from the East Indies in lS49 was equal only to
about ] | per cent, Of that imported from the
United States, in 1850 it was equal to nearly 25
per cent The Importation of cotton from all
parts last year was 663 576,s6l lbs, against
755469,OI2 lbs. in lS49. 1t also appears from
the same return that the declared value Of the
English total exports to the United States was
fn,97l.02s in I849, and GI4,S0l ,961 in 1850.
As the value Of the exports to all the world in
the latter year was Ell $4,000, it follows that
the trade with the United States was nearly %
p,r cent of the whole.
