clear il confirms that the rates of freight for
f1.s l season will average gain share to the shin.

hshe proposals submitted to our merchants last

LsBef on the capital was Id. for cotton, and the
usaalsteamers' rates to NewYork from Iiverpool
fof return cargo. The great cotton trade will now
haFeto submit to, in all probability from this port
aiolestuly $2,00O,000 as advanced costs in trans.
poThng cotton to market over and above 505d u
lo lfeght to Liverpool and ic. to Hayre IF there
cah be brought forward any stronger proof of the
requirements OF our trade, and advantages to be
derived from regular lines ofsteamers with Eurone
VIZ sAonid be glad to have it pointed out True, a
hhe 0l hRe steamers would have very little infu-
ehce6n rates Of freight particularly on the occa-
son 50 great scarcity of sailing vessels as at this
time existing. But if we had twenty steamers of
the capacity of from three to four thousand bales
eaeh, arriving and departing, in New York two
and three each per week, the great cotton interest
Wouid not at this time be subject to tax of three
ana four dollars per bale above what cotton can
be transported for to Europe, and return lO315 40
ct. eieaf. One dollar per bale on the quantity of
cotton received here last year would have, with
Lhe amount Of stock taken in Europe, built and
equipped eighteen or twenty steamers so much re-
qaltea 70 place this great emporium and the great
South IN an independent position. Six thousand
pales Of cotton, it will appear from the Memphis
statement, were sent last week to Eastern and
European markets via the Ohio river more to save
the three dollars extra freight than to aid other
intents and purposes. Our planters are now paw
ing (ast comes off Of the cotton) three dollars per
bae more to transport cotton TO Liverpool than
the British and American Steamship Company
have offered to do the same business for.
Has not the time arrived to talk about to act
and organize direct lines of steamers with Europe,
not only with Liverpool, but with Bremen and
Hayre?
The receipts of produce at our leyee continue
large, The great landing is blocked The delivery
and transporting are much impeded by the ncle-
ment weather. Vessels continue to be cleared at
the Customhouse under, or with suppositious
cggoes. It is supposed when they do 20 they will
hske eargoes. Vessels which were cleared last
week before the excitement are now only ready
for departure.
The mail yesterday brought us the statements or
cottonat Charleston and Savannah for last week |
We find them as follows
