TnE CorIoS QUESTION. In n conrersa.
ton with some Of our New Ensland manu-.
iac,urers. we learn tha, India cotton is get.
ting much in favor with them. and some OF
them have sen, large orders out for this cot.
ton, rreferring it at the present prices to
America. They regard i; more favorable
than the English spinners. since they have
bad experience in working IL.
As to the burning Of cotton at the South
our manufacturers consider it will operate
bOnt6eially to them II one halt 10 burned.
The stocks OF goods on hand are 30 large
that there is no doubt OF an ample supply
Of cotton to meet the consumption for
months to come, and the manufacturers
will be benefited rather than injured bv
having the staple come forward for the re-
mainder OF the year slowly and at very high
prices.
Some Of the sbrewde.t and largest manu-.
facturers are well convinced oi THE. and ~
far - their in,eres: is concerned. wouli not
b. sorry to eco two millions bales destroyed
in the planted region during tho coming
summer. The consumption and the pro.
duct,on Of goods are both expected to be
very light for several months.

Gigantic Canals In India.

We take the following from the Meehan'
les Magazine;
From Calcutta we learn that. In antici'
patton Of the future extensive cultivation ol
cotton in British India. !, Is intended to
form q number Of canals for the irrigation
OF the districts ad pied to the growth ofth'
plant. The general scheme proposed by
Col. Dickens. under the sanction Of the
government. consists in the construction o!
two main canals leading from dam to be
fed By the river Soane. These vii! extend
in opposite directions TO distancoo OF ten or
twelve miles, when they will branch Oa into
two fsn.like systems Of irrigation channels,
extending on one eide to the kurumnassa
aud Ganses. There will also Se navigation
channels for facilitating the transmission OF
the crops TO Benarcs, 10 the mouth OF the
Kurumnassa. to Arrah and TO Paina. The
aggregate dimensions will be 6sl miles ofir'
rga,ion. and lI5 OF navigation channels. or
in all 500 miles. Through these water will
flow at speed Of two mile. Per hour. while
the supply will yield 3,l.i cubic feet Per
second The dam IS proposed TO be formed
on the plan Of the Madras Delta Works.
The chief difference consisting in the depth
Of the under.unk foundations, which Col.
Dickens suggests. namely two rows OF
blocks. 20 feet each in depth, whereas the
we'll. at Madras range from : feet to . iee'
only. The principal impeiiment TO the car.
ryins on, of the works Is their enormous
probable cost. The colonel, however, has
entered into lengthy calculations to prove
,ha, ,he outlay would be amply eomPsn'
sa,ed Cor by the enhanced prOduciiveness OF
the land to be irrigated. and it is likely iha,
a portion. at least, OF the scheme will soon
be commepced. A. TO i.s complete iulhl.
men, we apprehepd that that will depend
much upon the future phase. which the
civil war in America may exhibit. The
present. condition Of our own manufacturing
should plead eloqusnily for the
increased growth Of cotton IN India. aud We
.hoald imagine that Lord Elsin could mol,
more worthIIy inaueura,e his succession TO
the GovcrnOr-General'hlp than by paying
immediate and practical attention to the
momen,ous subject.
