Total. ..1OOO4l POI 1OOs37245 2,597,l25 2485l2O
The totals of these amounts for the first seven
months of the years 1856 and 1857 would almost
seem fabulous to one unscquainted with the init
mate connection existing between the throne of
Great Britain and the looms of the cotton weaver.
It is absolutely marvellous to contemplate for
moment the capitslinvested, the number OF people
men, women, and children-emplOyed, the ships
freighted, the merchants enriched, and the hopes
and fears Of 27,000,o00 of British subjects wrapt
ND in and by this almost omnipotent product Of
southern slave labor. The very aggregate totals
are amazing; thus, the aggregate value of cotton
manufactures and yarns, including also cotton
thread and stockings, exported during only seven
months of 1857 amounting to Sll3, 40l ,O6O, against
S1Ol, 994, 265 exported the corresponding period OF
1856.
It further appears from the tables which we have
compiled from the official returns with the most
precise accuracy, that, had no cotton been re-
exported from Great Britain during the seven
months designated, the total quantity deliverable
for consumption, for that period, would have ex-
Ceeded the total quantity imported the first seven
months of 1856 534, 1876 cwt, and the quantity
actually consumed ,2l3, 500 cwt. Notwithstanding
these actual results the falling off in the aggregate
importation of raw cotton during the period under
review compared With the aggregate quantity i'm
ported the corresponding period of the preceding
year-say 90, 900 bales-while it furnishes no ade
quate cause for the ''paDics" which have been
chiefly got up by the "cOttOn shriekers" of Exc
ter Hall, who know just much about the real
condition and wants of the cotton trade, as they
do about the real condition and wants of the we'll
fed and well-cared for slave whose labor sustains
it. is still sufficient to awaken among the intelligent
manufacturers of Great Britain a spirit of reasona
BILE and earnest enquiry to the probable chances
of reliance from other quarters should short crops
or other casualties reduce their ordinary supply
from the United States, and thus derange for sin
gle season, or even for single week, the vast and
complicated interests which centre in the cotton
industry of the United Kingdom.

Another Suicide.

A gentleman, John II. Pidgeon, who has been
boarding for some time past at the Henrie House,
on 3rd street, between Main aud Sycamore, being
financially distressed and having been frequently
disappointed in obtaining employment in the city,
concluded night before last TO leave this world and
retiring to his room, swallowed laudanum, and
was, yesterday morning, found dead in his bed.
These facts are obtained from letter he left ad-
dressed to the proprietor Of the hotel in which he

upon others lin the absence of his ability TO obtain
employment), his pride prompted him to take his
own lite.
He desired that Mr.. HOcket, residing at Will
mington, in this State, be telegrphed concerning
his DEATH and that his mother, living in that Vicin-
~, be also reformed of his melancholy fate. Re
gret was expressed in the communication that the

Cotton Trade of Greet Britain During
the First Seven Months of 1857.

We are in possession of valuable official docu-
ment, just issued by the British Board of Trade,
T, latng to the navigation and commerce of Great
Britain during the first seven months of the present
year The import trade shows but little variation
compared with the corresponding seven months of
1856. In corn, tea and cotton, there is consid-
cradle reduction in the quantities imported, while
the articles which show an increase are fax, wool,
wine, and elk, of which latter 8, $685. 900 pounds
were IAported, against 1882 900 in the same
period Ia 1856, and 4,Ool 900 pounds in 1858.
Our mercantile readers, however, feel most inter-
est In that branch Of British commercial Industry
which subsists our great Southern staple, and
we have therefore compiled from the document De-
fore us such facts as will exhibit the cotton move
ments of Great Britain, both ss respects the i'm
portation of the raw material and its expectation
to the different markets of the world after having
passed through the mills and looms OF the manu-
featuring districts.
