terror to any great extent causing many diverse opn
ions to its action on cotton and sugar. spell Of
wet and rainy weather. after such frost has been
reported will very serious injury to the cotton
bolls and stalks. Our friend, Mr.. Bull, who works a
few acres of ground in wheat and deer parks. the
other side of the Atlantic, and who has number Of

Manchester and Liverpool, having good deal to
say about cotton. is becoming very sensitive about

But we are happy to learn by tile Nagaras advices
of the eth ult which we published this morning
that the old gentleman is coming to his senses, and
really enertans opinions that the adyces of the 9th
and 18th September, regarding storms and injuries,
are worthy than passing notice for If the tel
egraph tells true tale, cotton was on the advance
with large sales for the week. At the same time, an
other dispatch says the weather was wet, intending
to convey the idea, doubt, that the harvest was
being injured and would necessarily react on cotton

Emperor Napoleons six years trial. Mr. Bull going tt

Ifhe will engage Messrs Seward Greeley Weed Parsol
Beceher and others to 60 there and superntend thu

on these United States and succeed about as well a
he did in Bombay and other East India provinces.
