THE STATE OF EUROPE.

From Oar Own Correspondent
LONDON, Tuesday, April %, 1857.
American planters are usually 80 confident IN
their exclusive monopoly Of cotton that they think
if superfuous even to notice the endeavors OF the
Manchester men to extend the growth Of the cotton
plant in India. 1t might, however, be interesting
to the Black Republicans TO see the gradual IN
crease of cotton production in the East, which,
sooner or later-whenever the railroads and canals
now in construction have opened the resources OF
the central portion Of India 10 remuneratve Euro
pean Northumberland exterminate Slavery IN
the Southern States According to the newly
published returns of the imports Of the first quarter
of lc57, England received from India l9l $50 cwt
Of cotton, against III 10 ewt. and .5,222 cwt in
the corresponding periods Of 1855 and 1853
Though this quantity is rather insignificant c.Om
pared with the total import Of the quarter, viz:
l,7l65S6 cwt., still it shows steady conf nual IN
crease of the supply from India. 1t Is che cloud,
not bigger than hand, which forptells the coming

CHARGED WITH FALSE PRETESsEs-MoRE Diff
GUILTY ABOUT THE ARcADE.-John c. lIazleton, who
a few DAYS ago caused the apprehension of Richard
ID. Goodwin for an alleged assault upon him at the
Arcade, No. $40 Broadway was himself arrested yes
terday morning by Officer Doughery of the Lower
Police Court on complaint of Mr.. Goodwin who
charges him with false pretenses.
Mr. Goodwin, in his complaint, sets forth that his
wife Marianne Goodwin, had lease of the premises
known as the Arcade and that Iazlcton, being desir
Gus of obtaining an interest therein, offered his notes
indorsed by j. j. Howard of Brooklyn, for 81 40 for
the lease and agreed, if his offer accepted, to
execute for the security of AIrs Goodwin, mortgage
agent a one.half interest in the property Hazeton
further represented that the indorser of the note was
man of means and fully responsible; that he the IN
dorser) owned the Wiamsburgh Equestrian Institute
and several houses and lots in Brooklyn.
Mr.. Goodwin, relying upon these statements, ac-
cepted the offer of Hazeton and signed the transfer
of the lease with the understanding that the partner
shin papers and the mortgage should be imme-
dately prepared and duly executed but neither, as
Goodwin alleges, has been done.
The notes given by lIazleton and Endorsed by
Howard proved to be worthless, the indorser owning
none Of the property which it was alleged he was
possessed Of 1t is on these grounds that Mr.. Good
win charges Hazleton with having defrauded him by
means of false pretenses representations. Justice
Osborn before whom the accused was taken, held him
to bail in the sum of $500.

The N. o. Delta, in an article on the arrest of
suspected SLAYER at that port, thinks it strange
.that this officiOus Federal Government of ours
"persistS in harassing American commerce with
"Africa, in respect of the latters staple article of
giraffe" The Delta evidently labOrs under the
idea that ours is free-trade system, while, on the
contrary, the legislation Of the country is the most
protective possible. 1t encourages the domestic
production Of niggers by absolute prohibition of the
foreign article, and the planters of Louisiana and
Mississippi have to pay for slaves four times as
much as if they were allowed to buy them IN the
cheapest market, according to the dictates OF "a
"sound political economy" This is an incon-
