BRITISH VERSUS SOUTHERN COTTON.

To the Eduor u The N. Y. Tyibars.
SIN: Il is great wonder that tie exigsncy in which
the British cotton traders find themselves involved In
regard 10 that staple, has impeied them 10 an in
tense activity 70 stimulate other sources of supply.
We know that some measures have been adopted look.
ing toward the future, but we apprehend no such
vigorous and prompt measures have been yet used a
the crisis demands. Too many of the Lancashire cot
ton-spinners yet canning that the South will sup
ply them if they only pay the cash. They do seem
to realize the question ut Issue, the nature of the
struggle between the Rebels and the Government Of
the U0ed States. Patriotic feeling, wOnld sup.
pose, would urge them shake of tleir dependence
upon the Southern Sites. Sadly must the English
character have degeDerated, If they do not de-
termne to free Themselves from such dangerous de-
pendence upon slave labor for their prosperity. Pa
tsiotsm, honor, consistency, interest," and philanthropy
all combine to urge them TO instant action. They are
responsible for ninetentbs Of she evils of American
Slavery from their encouragement OF the slaye-growu
cotton Of the South.
We are now at a point where, If the pecuniay
strength given by the English to the South is withT
drawn Slavery must begin 70 die. Let England then
rsfuse TO buy any sIaye-grown cotton. Instead
English Ships prowBH5 round closed ports, TO see
by any chance they escape the vigilance OF on
cruisers, let them like honest traders go TO Africa,
India Australia, ard the West Indies, and there pro.
cure their ireights OF cotton.
SbOud English ships involve England in the CONTEXT,
il will cost her hundreds Of millions Of dollars, and,
perhaps national 1snenbement herself. II would 10
far better cheaper, and more patriotic, for Eugshmen
to eoar The coas OF Africa for cotton than 10 be lurking
round our forbidden ports. Let England fail to buy
The present crop Of from the South and she NOS
only plJs an end 70 the rebellion by cutting oil the
noaey supply but pute Slavery IN process Of solution
If the sayehoders Of the South cannot sell this years
crop of cotton they pant with their slaves, even
if thoy ha,e to set them fret avoid the expense OF
maintaining them. WHAT, then, is Englands duty to
herself to us, TO humanity to her Ant-S.vep pro-
fessions to the slaves, and to the sllvcholders {
Evidently is quit her completely with the south,
and get her cotton else where 50 well does the South
understand this thai in order to make England her
catspaw or slave the order has gone forth thai no
cotton be sent TO the usua depos until tie blockade
is removed. In this they ALEC have an eye to tho
possibility Of the great cities of the South retaining 70
their Loyalty when they lind their warehouses filled
with cotton. To revive trade they might reinstate
United States officers condition Of reopeuing the

The Southern merchants, who are repre-
sented here, confirm our previous remarks
respecting the scarcity Of goods In that Sec
ton and Il is generally believed that even
IL the Southern Government should be per-
manentlv established, become a fixed fact,
which is not at ali probable, little interruption
would be observed in our general domestic
trade. A large class Of goods, which enter
into general consumption, are manufactured
only at the North, and they yield 30 little
profit TO the fabricant, that no competition
Is expected from any foreign markets, as
Manchester can be better employed than
working Cotton for 5 pence per pound;
besides, it is idle TO suppose that On expen-
sive Government like theirs can be carried
on by direct taxation.
We have seen letters from merchants from
the interior, who represent the present tax
alton as being too onerous TO be borne. Their
taxes have increased 300 per cent. since the
Secession, and a further increase is expected.
Goods shipping after this date must be Rc-
companied with invoices, as is customary in
shipping to foreign States.
Aside from the general activity among
Southern buyers, we observe more movement
in other departments. The Western and
nearby trade has been satisfactory, and the
aggregate sales of the week nave been large.
This may continue sixty days longer, and

ness so proverbial in the Summer months.
The tone of the English markets is not en-
~coulaging. With Money abundant at the
center, it is dear in every other market.
This will naturally force their surplus Stocks
to the market and depress prices, notwith-
standing the operations Of the new tariff.
And while we would not discourage any
branch of industry, we can not but deplore
the infatuation of our manufacturers in
overstocking the market with fabrics which
must Of necessity pGy a loss. Many fabrics
are at present below the cost Of manufacture,
and bave reached a lower price than wa;
seen even in 1857; while very many styles
which have a nominal remunerating value
would fall off beyond precedentif not held
by strong parties.

EFFECT OF TIE AMERICAN PANIC ON BRITT
ISL FRElGHTs-Freights from Liverpool to
New York were never so low as they noware.
In The article of iron freights average from
nine .shillings to ten shiilings. They have
been as high as seventeen shillings, and as
low as eight shillings. Now, however, offers
are freely made by ship owners to carry iron
to America for three shillings per tun. This
rate applies to what the shipping-a2ents
now, for the first time, denominate 'undam-
agable" iron. Damagsble iron, such as
sheet and hoops, which are unfayorably af-
fected by oxidation, are to be charged five
shillings per tun. There is little doubt,
thata manufactured iron, whether damage
able or Interchangeable, will soon be carried
at the three-shillings rate, for within the past
week the freight of Manageable iron has
been reduced one shilling a tun.
Computing the distance from Liverpool to
New York at 1900 miles, iron may now be
carried across the Atlantic at one shilling
per tun per 1000 miles. These figures pre-
sent a most tempting inducement TO iron
masters to send ont iron on speculation, ou'
so little faith have they in the expectations
of correspondents in New York, that th(
present great difficulty" will o be ami
chbly adjusted, that it is not in any way IN
fuencing the proceedings of the iron trade

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTER OF GARBALDI

PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTER OF GARIBALDL.
A medical man who lately visited Caprera,
gives some interesting details concerning
the chronology of the ex Dictator. The
volume of the head is remarkable, and its
most noticeable quality is the hight OF the
skull, which measures from the ear TO the
summit more than seven inches. This. Pecu-
liar formation of the head denotes at first
glance an exceptional organization and the
development Of the skull in the upper part
which is the seat ofthe sentiments, indicates
the prepoDdsranee of ell the noble faculties
over the instincts.
In a word, the head of Garibaldi, after ex-
animation, presents an extremely rare
phenomenon we might almOst say, an
unexampled oHs-which is the perfect har.
mony Of all the organs. The mathematical
result of their union presents: abnegation,
above all things and on all occasionsi pru.
dence and tranquility a natural severity Of
morals; almost continual meditationi grave
! and correct el~Oquenee; dominating upright
ness: incredible Differences 70 friends, ever
to the extent of causing pain 70 himself
| and lastly, a remarkable power OF appreciat
ing the people about him. : The examiner
| considered his head a marvellous one, aud {
very mOdelfor science.
