lying the 32d parallel of latitude, in prairie

tails of SALT saltpetre and alum naturally formed on
its surface. The stalk and bowls of this cotton, Dr.
Sharpe informs us. are about large as those of
the Petty Gulf Cotton; the seeds much smaller,
black and smooth, as consequence of which 900
pounds of it unginned yields 500 pounds Of ginned
cotton But it is the lint of this cotton that is most
noteworthy and remarkable. For fneness and sikh
ness, as we'll tenacity of fibre and tenuity of
thread we never saw it surpassed if at all equaled.
These qualities have led some to believe it the Sea
Island cotton but DR.. Sharpe is convinced that it is
not, since it differs from that cotton in many ma.
eral respects, whatever may be the correspondence
between their respective staples For instance, he
says that 250 pounds of this cotton can be picked
by one hand in day, whereas Of the Sea Island not
more than 80 pounds can be picked. He believes
that it can be successfully grown in nearly every

The Royal Mail steamship Niagara, from Liverpool
on the SOth of January, arrived at Halifax yesterday
bringing three days later news from Europe, weeks
later news from India, and intelligence from China
to Dec. Is. Parliament was to assemble on the 4th
inst Heavy drafts of troops were under orders to
embark for India. The Bank of England the day
before the Niagara sailed further reduced its rate Of
discount to four per cent, but the reduction seems
to have had little effect the Money Market.
From India the news is interesting though not spe-
cally important A telegram had been received from
Malto, announcing the arrival of the Bombay mail,
with intelligence that Sir j. Outram, the 22d of
December, attacked the mutineers at Alumbagh, and
defeated them with but trifing loss, capturing four
guns. Sir Colin Campbell was at Ferukabad and
was expected to move westward in a short time with
powerful force. From China the news is import

swer to the uztimatum of the English and French
Plenipotentiaries, and the combined attack on Cam
ton expected to take place in very short time
The demads of Lord Elgin are represented to have
been of the most temperate character. Previous to
the receipt of Yehs answer, the American Commits
soner, Mr. Reed, solicited an interview with him in
the city, and Yeh replied in the most insolent
that barbarian should set foot within the linn
its of Canton, but offered to meet him outside the
city. The late attempt on the ltes of the Emperor
continued to be the all-absorbing topic in France
Addresses from the Army were received in great
numbers, some of them characterized by the strong.

into five great commands, to be stationed at Paris,

GRAY AND GREELEY Horace Greedy is now in the
West delivering lectures. 1t has been his custom to
visit the West nthe same Grand every winter for
number of years past. A few evenings ago he was
in Cleveland. Gray, whom Greeley sued for libel
year more since, but which suit has never yet
had hearing thus notices, in the Plaindeazer his
proposed lecture in Cleveland-a notice, by the
way, which nobody but Gray could have got up
and which is certainly specimen of plain-speaking,

HORACE GREELEY.-This gentleman % 0he italics
are our OWN will lecture the Poets at the Melo
deon this evening. He edits the Tribune, daily
paper in New York city. He is pretty sharp wri-
ter, but is principally distinguished for wearing
dilapidated drab coat and decayed wool hat. With
the exception game Of euchre string of ten pins
with Henry Ward Beecher, Mr.. Greeley takes no
amusement whatever: He eats mush, bran bresd
and oat-meal slap:jacks, but avoids meat except in
campaign times then he eats vcraciousy of rooster
gzzards cows tails, calves plucks and sleeps head
A great many persons think he is great man, and
he rather inclines to that opinion himself He has
written few articles about the slave oligarchy.-
We believe he has also written one or two short ar
ticles on Kansas. He wears cowhide brogans, and
is eccentric. Success to him. Long may he wave.
