As tlIeIb mas Ut0H q RUUu uEaI OF Lle quantfby OF
cotton raised in parishes bordering on the river, we
append the quantity in bales for the Years Ia57-5s
2f3s2a

The year 1868 was year Of overflow. We have
no regular accounts of the growth in the river
counties of Mississippi. The parishes named above
will yield largely over the above figures Of 1858,
and, of course, in excess of 1859.
Under our financial head will be found another
extract regarding the new company about being
formed in England to promote the culture of cotton
Our good customer, Qrom compulson,) Mr.. Bull, is
very much troubled about his future supply of the
staple. III Mr.. Bull could furnish our planters with
about one hundred Thousand of the sons of Africa
for few years only, he might obtain cotton at
from 5d.@6d u tb. If he will consult with our
authorities at Washington, abrogate and annul that
Abolition treaty of ls42 possibly there might be
an increase of these colored laborers which are SO
decately alluded to by some squeamish writers !;
but if Mr.. Bull will withdraw his squadron from the
coast Of Africa, there might be an increase of
Christian subjects devoted to the raising of cotton
and Lancashire, with all England and Scotland,
would never have cause to complain of scarcity.
The Liverpool folks, before forming the associa-
ton Of half million of dollars of capital naiyely
ask, "Wil it pay?" We take the liberty of answer
ing the question and say that with the paltry sum
of 100000 or el0oooo, it will not pay. Your new
company, gentlemen, will turn out like your great
you have been for four years expecting to furnish
Manchester with an abundant supply of cotton.
We hope our transatlantic cousins will not be-
come too much alarmed. Our Southern planters
are generally men of feeling humanity, generosity
and liberality; they will not quietly look on and
see Englands four millions Of operatives starve for
the want of cotton; they will endeayor to furnish
them, as much for the commsseration and tender
ness of suffering humanity, as for their own veal
and benefit.
The European mails by the Arabia were received
in part yesterday. The balance will be along to-
day possibly. The private correspondence al
ludes to good weeks business, without remuner-
atiye prices for shipments direct from this side.
Very few orders were received, and very few are
expected by the next steamer. They, however,
had abandoned on the 9th inst, all expectations
that this seasons crop would reach that Of 1859
and consequently the Lancashire folks were
governing their movements accordingly.
The freight market is sluggish. The quantity of
tonnage in port is something less than at this time
last year, with freights ruling at the same figures
as last year and 15-32d in 1858. There will not be
30 much cotton nor tobacco to go to market as
last year at this time. They are, however, launch
ing freighting ships every week in New England.
Among the last, only ten days ago, was the ship
Hamlin, named after the Black Republican candi-
date for the yice-Presidency. She belongs to the
Lords of Kennebunk, being of 1000 tons burthen
and designed for the freighting business. Her
owners may have the assurance to send her South
to carry load of negroraised cotton to merry
England Abolitionists. How would the good ship
look moored at our leyee with igure,head repre-
sentng cheerful and smiling negro showing his
ivory2 Great country, that New England! Who
will be the consignee of the good new ship Hamlin
Who will ship the first bale Of cotton on board OF
her! 1t is hoped the good ship will not come to
our port-we might have TO talk of some sympa.
