1t will be seen by steamboat arrivals that the
receipts continue free for the season No boat ar
rives from Red river but what brings more or less,
and while the talk cotton begins to lose its inte
rest we have to say something about the future
1t is admitted by many that crop of 10000
bales is needed There not laborers enough in the
cotton growing region to gather crop Of this extent
The extract from the Manchester Guardian is rather
funny 1t appears that Miss Coutts has made dona.
ton of e20O $4,000 to the Cotton Supply Associa
tion Of Manchester This is sort of douceur, but il
will go very little way towards the raising of cotton
in India, Jamaica or Algeria. We can select hun.
dred more plantations in Mississippi or Louisiana,
where on either of them its negroes would make
up a purse of the same amount, and wager Miss
Coutts that they raise cotton than all the
subjects of Queen Victoria in christendom.
1t appears that this f2OO is considered in Man
chester great munifcence 1t is evident that il the
consumption continues to increase, English spnners
will be in what is termed tight place u for the
staple. The India war is far from being closed, and
there must be o deficiency from that empire. 1t is
useless to talk Of extending the cultivation of cotton
in British India.
The Manchester editor audes to the princely reven-

Of them may realize occasionally such thing as
princey income, but they would not do 1t If they were
forced to accede to the views Of Lancashire cotton
lord and his hundreds or thousands of white slaves
late New York paper remarks as follows on the
cotton crop:
We alluded recently to the subject OF the supply of
cotton and its influences upon the trade in the manu-
factnred articles Our advces from the South report
a vast increase in the planting for the growing CROP

larger than any heretofore raised may be expected
lxuftb nf with tbu Ia
ception, perhaps, OF 1854, but with fair prospect
that even that year will be exceeded. crop of
1000 900 bales Is needed and the subject OF the sup
ply Of cotton still receives attention in Great Britain
will be seen from the following. 1t is from the Man
chester Guardian, 7th inst;
We are exceedingly gratfed to learn that, in an
interview which, at her request Mr.. John Cheeham,
NJ P. for South Lancashire, had with Miss Burdett
Coutts few days ago, that distinguished lady, after
many enquiries, eyncing most intelligent and pari-
otic interest in the subject of increased supply OF
cotton desired the President Of the Cotton Supply
Association to accept f200 donation to its funds
together with an annual subscription OF fl00 With
| out saying one word about the munifcence Of this
act, cannot but feel, and feeling, cannot but
say, that II shows an appreciation OF all that is in
volved in the deficient supply Of the material for
which ought to excite small degree of seTeproach
in the minds Of hundreds who have never given one
arthng towards an object TO which thsy are directly
Immediately and vitality interested. 1t Is surely i'm.
possible that such an example should be without
effect. The position Of spinners is undoubtedly i'm
proved Of late but 1t Is far from satisfactory one
to its present results and certain it is that vast
annual amount, which would form the profits OF spin
ming If the supply of cotton duly proportional
to its consumption will continue to be absorbed into
the princely revenues of the planters.
