Cotton, however, Is not all evil in the eyes
Of the Quarterly. 1thas done some good In Its
| day. For instance: Mr.. PoRTER has said, it

moving power of our fleets and armies, and
| the chief support also Of long.continued ag-

nut forth by England during the last great
| Continental war could not have been made

manufacturing incomes. It is remarkable

during that great crisis of our history,
our population aud wealth increased at
| rate that had never before been exceeded or
even equalled." Again: Figures can give
| but faint idea of the present actual value of
| the cotton manufacture as a branch OF British
| industry; hut we will mention that the total
value of the cotton manufactures exported
| and retained for home use amounts to about
sixty-six millions (of pounds sterling, three
hundred millions of dollars) yearly, and de-

| about EGG, 100000 30O0O,0O0) there remains
| in the country annual sum OF about forty
millions sterling, $500 0OO,OOO,) which is dis

| amongst the manufacturers as profits, and
| amongst the various other branches Of indus
try which mainly depend upon it for their ex-
| istence."

mired the vigorous despotism Of FERDINAND.
