INDIA COTTON

According to the statement of Sir C. Wood
recently made in the British Parliament, the
railroad expenditure in Ipdia for the past year
has been eight millions sterling, or forty mil
lions OF dollars. That rate of expenditure be
proposes to keep up for the next year, and as
the railroad companies are able to contribute
three millions sterling from their own means,
he proposes 10 aid them with O Government
loan to the extent Of the remaining five mil.
lions. This policy meets with the support Of
the British Ministry and people, and must very
soon connect the cotton fields with the seaports
Of India by rail. Sir G. Wood Justly antici.
pstes that IGdia will be speedily enabled to
contribute oil the supplies of cotton which
England needs. The shipments for the present
year, already advised, amount to 100000 bales,
and a further shipment during the present year
Of 100000 bales is anticipated
Intelligence Of this character will he a.
gratifying in America. as It is in Great Britain.
The great bulk Of the people of the United
States produce no cotton. but consume 1t
largely. They are therefore interested to have
il cheapened In price. as it will be by multi
plying the places Of production.
As the voyage from India to Liverpool is
longer than that from our Southern ports to
Liverpool, and as American ships compete for
either class of freights upon equal terms, they
have special interest in having the English
market supplied with cotton from India rather
than from our own ports.

Tournier's sailing, miniature sailboat, (about
two.and-a-half feet long,) having tin cannon
for bowsprit, arrived ut Fort Pickens, having
been sent by the rebels. Her cargo consisted
Of New Orleans papers, containing a full account
Of the battle at Ball Run, for which news the
rebels fred nine guns.
Captain Tournier reports that on the Sth inst :.
off Hatteras, at half past six. P. NJ, he saw
small schooner, pilot.boat build. making for
him, and when within quarter Of mile OF his
vessel, she fired into him, which ho did not no.
tice, any more than by exposing the stars and
stripes. The shot was repeated. and after fir
Ing three times, she ran up the Confederate
flag. Captain T. still kept his course. when six
more shots wee fired, none Of which took ef.
feet, each one passing either acr IS the bow or
stern, the last just grazing his port quarter. The
privateer then gave up the chase, she being left
