THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH q, 1860.
TALK ON CHANCE.

The gatherings yesterday on Carondeiet street
were in the early part Of the day numerous giving
indications that the usual transactions would be
carried out but towards meridian kind OF chill
some ethargy, passed over so that before O'Clock
the flags seemed deserted. There seemed TO be
pause in the movements Of the King attributed
to the intelligence from Europe of the 7th inst,
and to the heavy footings up OF receipts at the
various ports; nevertheless, there were buyers, or
there would be buyers for all cotton at from i03c
up In fact, there parties desrous Of obtaining
some hundreds of bales at l5@l6c., of such cotton
as we talked of two days since and at l2aeDl4c.
thousands Of bales would be taken. This is con-
elusive that our good customer, Mr.. Bull would be
very willing to pay good price for good article
but the old fellow, or his subjects, say that the
sand and dust are wearing out machinery too fast
We have received the highly interesting paper Of
the great manufacturer, Mr.. Henry AshworIh, to
which we alluded in our last talk. As it is OF con-
siderable length, we must defer its full insertion
until tomorrow. We, however, append the closing
remarks Of the lecture

/ II will be observed that Mr. Ashworth is under
no apprehensions Of short supply Of the raw ma
teral till the close Of the year 1851. Predcating
his views on crop Of 1000 600 bales in the United
States for the year 1868 and 1860 he remarks that
they know Of the capabilities Of India and other
parts of the world but what do all these capabili
ties amount to- what has been the result in India,
or what will these capabilities amount to- just
nothing at all when placed in juxtaposition with
the resources and capacities of the great Southwest
Of the United States. Those parties who have been
inditng in their circulars that the maximum pro.
ducing powers of the United States have been at.
tanned, or would be at their figures Of 4,300,0 ,0O0
bales, and impressing their opinions on Manchester
spinners will observe that they have miscaoulated
the capabilities of the South that the maximum
productive powers have not been attained that il
question in the womb of futurity when they viii
be attained. Our transatlantic cousins need NO
, be under any apprehension about supply of thu
| staple under average seasons and if the British
Government will withdraw the fleets and wa
vessels from the coast Of Africa and allow som,
few thousands Of the benighted sons of Africa II
eigrate to tile fertile soil on the Gulf OF Mexico
from Cape Carnaval in Florida to the mouth of TIL
Rio Grande, we might furnish Lancashire spinncra
, as well as all christendom, with cheap cotton
