HAyre freights in the same ratio, with proper

It was talked Of that some vessels and owners
intend TO refuse compressed cotton, and go on, as
it is termed. the simple merits of bale OF cotton
4 as it comes from the plantations. But truce to
the presses and talk of events on the other side of
the Atlantic. It is manifest from adVices received
this week that Mr.. Bull is somewhat exercised
about the supplies that the British Premier does
not understand the great cotton question.
But never mind what my Lord the Premier
s,5f Great Britain may dove leave the old gen
tlernan to his cogitations, and peruse what one
of or correspondents in London says about cot
ton, darkies, dissolution Of the Union, and so on,
affizing our views that Great Britain, for the
present, is on the hip for cotton, and the sooner
the British Ministry acknowledge the sovereignty
of the seeded States separately or as confede-
racy, the better for manufacturers and operatives
of the supposed fast anchored isle and dependen-
cias II is manifest that cotton can be held in the
South. This is confirmed by the course now pur-
sued by the planters and growers of South Caro-
lima and Georgia. They are holding back, and it
is not necessary for to refer to dictionaries to
. understand the meaning of holding back. But to
our correspondents letter, written in London on
the 9th inst. and received yesterday;
IpHDOx, January ), 1861.
4. Dear Sb.-You have observed the course of the
Il press OF this country regarding the dissolution of
q the Union. IT goes entirely with the Abolition
facton---eXhorts the, North to c0erce the S9utn,
twice licked by the Americans, the last time at New
y Orleans, when the British picked troops were de-
featcd as thoroughly as wouid be the Northers who
would invade the South, If they were even allowed
to return alive to Mason and DXon's line. Great
& Britain has yet to learn that when the South Sc
cedes she will take her part Of the army and navy,
+ and her share Of the property OF the late Unted
& safes.
II As regards cotton when the question of pounds,
# shilling and pence is raised, Mr. Bull is wide awake
and he now sees in the dissolution OF the Union a
fearful prospect for the cotton manufactures OF TINS
cnuntrv You are aware that one-thrd to one.halt
of the total exports of Great Britain consist OF cot
ton manufactures. ANY interference with the cul,
4 ture Of the raw material enhances the value, and
hence the quondary Of cousin Bull at this moment
between his devotion to his own interest and his
+ vaunted phlanthropyfor the freedom Of " nggers.'
This country must and will have cotton, at what
4 ever cost and as you Southerners will have golc
instead OF paper the gold is going out to you, ant
will continue to go as long as you refuse to receive
anything else. -
iIhe Old Marin in Threadneedle street is becoming
a frightened, and to stop gold gong to the cottol
States has raised the rate of interest to per cent
If she raises it to 10 per cent. it won't stop golt
going for cotton, for cotton must be had. ;,
Notwithstanding all the fal de raj OF the Englisi
K ertv of the South the great and important lmpor
trade Of the North and the total absence OF lmpor
y trade of the South yet king cotton VIII Wleld nj
n sceptre with unrelentng sway, and bring Mr.. Bul
4 bowng aud scraping with his golden soveregns il
a search Of the great staple.

THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLoPEDIA.-We have n
ceyed from the publishers, through Mr.. w.
Morrel l29 Canal street, the eleventh volume
this very valuable work, now in course OF pnblic
ton by the Appeton's Of New York. The volum
before us covers the space from "Mac" to "Maxa.
We find therein biographies of James Madso
Rey. John Newland Mafftt, Gen Francis Mario
Judge Francis Xavier Martin, and other interestin
matter so great in quantity that would be impo
sbIe to attempt mention. We regard this work
one of the most important publications which hay
eminated from the American press. The extrao
dinary range which it takes, the completeness wi
which it covers this wide range, leaves nothLi
that we can see to be desired. The general sa
of this Cyclopedia cannot result otherwise than
ayast benefit to the people of the country. II
knowledge which it contains in compact form
Gso@prcat that whoever possesses copy is sure
getting a good insight into almost everything al
everybody having obtained sufficient importan
IN the world to be worthy Of remembrance.
