The SPINsTER EMIGRATIoN.-T Tn,
Hon. A. q. Merritt has, after much trib
ulation, secured the Government steamer
Connecticut to convey from Boston his
company or cargo Of Massachusetts
spinsters, to the Pacific. He is to coal
man and vitual her, and sail on the 18Th
instant Such, however, is the reviva
now of business in the New England
manufactures, that it is said the women
can not be we'll spared, and the factory
men are hunting the British provinces
to get female operatives. Women arr
apt to feel, however, that they were crea-
ted for some other purposes than work
ing IN factories to further enrich great
capitalists and ~soulless corporations, and
as the matrimonial chances on the Pacific
side, where the male population prepon-
derates, are better than In Massachusetts.
where there are 10000 more women thar
men. it is probable the spinsters will per
E~seyere in the emigration scheme.
The CoTToN CRoR-The receipts OF
cotton at New Orleans for the three
months ending on the 1st instant were
two hundred and seven thousand bales,
while the entire business for the prece-
ding nine months was less than the ordi-
nary operations of a single week in for
mer seasons, and very much less than the
amount for the month of August. The
New Orleans Pieayune, which gives these
figures, conjectures that the crop for the
coming year will be one million two hun
dred and fifty thousand bales. 1t adds
that the amount of the old crop still left
IN the South is a vexed question, but the
estimates vary from " hundred thou
sand TO nine hundred thousand; and even
as high as n million bales. 55e
