A meeting was recently convened by tao di-
rectors Of q new cotton company, in the town
hall, Manchester, Eng, which was very luVely
attended. The questions arising out of tho I'M
pending danger to tho cotton supply were fully
discussed, and resolutions passed TO make
strenuous efforts to parry tho effects Of the anti
cirsted blow. A Parsco merchant, Mr. DA-
DARuAI NAovoJr, supported resolution TO
purchase cotton in India, Australia, Africa and
other countries and that capital Of ~, 0Oo. 900
should be raised, In shares Of $50 eaeh, for this
purpose. DADABHAI NAovoJI spoke with re-
mnkablc energy and effect. Mr.. BARLEY, n.
r., said that ono thousand merchants wsrs
he believed that $50, 900 Chinese, with their IA
miles, might be easily, quickly and chsaply
"translated" to Australia, aud by strenuous
exertions crop Of cotton equal to 2 000, ,0Oe
bales might be produced In the year. Accord
ingly the cotton company has teen decided
upon, and will shortly 10 sfoot.
In tho meantime one has already sprung into
existence, called the India Cotton Company,
Qimited) capital 81, 25O, 900. The object Is BY
direct dealings with the cotton growers ef In
dia, to very largely increase the supply Of cot
ton from that source. Suggestions, likewise,
arc flowing in from all quarters and cotton,
henceforwsrd, will be unquestionably largely
grown in India. Australia, Africa, (Port Natal

Of the earth and eminently favorable cllmate)
and ether places. thus avoiding absolute depsn-
dence on the southern States Of America.
Referring TO these movements, the London
correspondent Of tho Philadelphia North ip'er-
icdn says :-Possibly this unmistakible do
monstration in public fceling may have its
effect upon tho people Of South Csrollni, Mis-
sssippi Florida and Alabama, when the intel
ligeuce reaches them. lot me assure them
that the ball now SGT rolling will not stop until
cotton fields are planted in all directions, and
