From the Liverpool Courier, October l2] Estimated Future Supply of Cotton

The object of this circular is to en- deavor to reduce into definite shape the probable cotton supply from this period to the end of 1867. Such de- finition would no doubt have been more accurate if it's publication could have been postponed until the list of Janua- ", 1867, but it's practical utility might then be questioned and l might not have the honer of writing it. People who have oftentimes troubled them- selves to array in lines of figures the cotton of the future have been assalled by those who disagreed with them, as if they could by their statistics either enlarge or diminish the supply, or as If they were infiicting a grieVous injury either upon the supplier or the consun- CT, by venturing to appraise the capaci- ty of the world to supply or to con- sume. Hypothetical statistics can do no harm because their character is writ ten on their face; the only way which they can be cenfuted is by other hypo- thetical figures, which would be scarce ly confutation after all. The general view about cotton lately has been ill favor of plUspectiycly over-master- ing supply, against which tho present level of prices would have no chance. The following considerations seems to me scarcely to warrant that general view:
 The latest American accounts, which may be taken for what they are worth indicate two millions of bales as the maximum yield of the current crop; | assWme that yield as about the balance of many conflicting statements. What, tbap will bo tho rynal-Iy c1lDTlV of all cottons for America and Europe for the sixty-four weeks terminating with the year 1867 !?

Arabic Inventions.

No other country has produced so many able naturalists as Arabia; :; and it may be regarded as the native home of botany and chemistry. Certainly the Arabs knew both, especially the latter, better than either the Greeks or the Ro- mans. So far as history gives us any account on the subject, they were the first who applied chemistry to the pur- poses of agriculture. The medical schools which they established through out their extensive dominions are still celebrated throughout the world and they were attended for nearly three cen turies by the most learned men in all parts of Christendom, as superior to all others.
 It is to them we owe not only the numerals which bear their name, but also the decimal system and logarithms, It was Adeard an English monk, who first translated the Elements of Euclid from the Arabic into Latin, with the commentaries of About Wefa.
 We owe to the Arabs the first acctl- rate calculation of the obliquity of the ecliptic and the circumference of the globe; it was they who taught us the eccentricity Of the sun and the preces- sion of the equinoxes, as well as the difference between the solar and the sidereal year. Many of the most use ful things for which we give the credi to others, or claim it for ourselves, have | been taught us by the Arabians. Thi, is true even of paper, although it haC been known in China for more than l, thousand years before the Saracens con. quered Spain. Bat it was the Arab who brought it into Europe, and the, had been using it themselves for centu ries previously. They had paper-mill in Samarcand as early as G49 A. D., bu the first paper-mill in Christian Europ, was established at the end of the thir teenth century. Even then there wai not one outside the boundaries of Spai1 The Italians and French have in turl claimed the honor of having invented the compass, but nothing is more clear ly proved than that it had been knowl to the Arabians centuries previously.
 In similar manner it has been souoht to rob them of the honor of mum erou, ether discoveries, including that O | gunpowder, the discovery of which is generally attributed to German chem 1 ist. We might mention the names o l the Arabians who are known to hay, made these and many others, but they have been so very carefully kept out o sight by self-interest, egotism, and pre- iudiee, that they are no longer familiar save to the students of the Orienta languages. But we have Arabic word
 enough, even in English, to show wha an influence the Arabs have exercised on our sciences and arts such, for ex ample, as zenith, nadir, azimuth, alge
 bra, alkali, elixir, cipher, tariff, carat alcohol, almanac, decode, demon, sher
 if, juleps, magazine, lute, and others ! Arabic all.

Put Him Through.

A brace of lovers entered a photos graph saloon and wanted their pictures taken. The lady gave preference to her swain, who, she said sshad got to be tuck fust and rale natural"

 "Now do look putty" begged the la-l dy, casting at him one of her most lans guishing glances.
 The picture was taken, and when produced, it reminded the girl, as sho' expressed it--"Jist as Josh looked when he got over the meazlcs!' and as this was not an era in her lovers history particularly worthy ofcommemoratiOn,. she insisted ''he should stand once more."

What Will the South Do.

The bloody struggle from which the South has but recently emerged. though it has left her almost ruined waste, has elevated her in the eyes of the world, and her people are looked upon as the most devoted and patriotic among the nations. Brave, chivalric, and daring almost to rashness on the field of battle, they are generous, kind, and moved by spirit of forgiveness i'll peace that places their character in the very beauty of sublimity. Generous as foes and warm hearted as friends. the Southern people are not to be surpassed in those traits which form the loveli- ness and christian principles of civili- zation.
 This people is now called upon by a radical minority, who, by chicanery and the fortunes of war, seized upon the reins of government to ratify the constitutional amendment, document which. if carried by the votes of the south, would stigmatise her with shame, and lower the nobleness of character which she has won upon hundred well fought fields to one of cowardice. ''What will the South do ?" ask the rad icals. We will answer. The South will stand by the pledges sheGave when her armies surrendered. She has given her word to that, and she will never break it. She will stand by the constitution of our fathers, and defend that great charter of the peoples liberty with all the power at her command. She will be true to the union-if that union is one of equality to all-but if she has 10 ratify the constitutional amendment to enter the great sisterhood of states, she will keep out until GABRIEL has blown the last note on his trumpet.

CAUTIOUS MEN.-S ome men use words as rifiemen do bullets. They say but little. The few words used go right to the mark.
 They let you talk, and guide with their eye and face, on and on, till what you say can be answered in a word or two, and they lance out a sentence, pierce tire matter to the quick and they are done.
 You never know where you stand with them. Your conversation falls into their mind as rivers into a deep chasm, and is lost from sight by its depth and darkness. They will some times surprise you with few words that go to the mark like gunshot, and then they are silent again, as if they were rejoicing.
 Such men are safe counscllors and true friends in every case where they profess to be such. To them truth is more valuable than gold, while preten- sion is too gauzy to deceive them Words without point, to them, are like titles without merit, only betraying tho weakness of the blinded dupes who are ever used as promoters of other mems schemes.

"VERITAS OMNLPOTENS.


Isixtv-four weeks, in all probability the world would take off the 6,000,00O bales during that period ill yarns and goods at about the same proportion of price values as those which have ruled dur ing the last four months {; because our average production of piece goods have been during this year much above the average of the last four years, still the over sea markets. and even the home markets, are not over supplied with goods. Moreover, the experience of the last six months has been an eXcep- tional one as regards consumption, which has had to encounter various ad- verse influences in the shape of plague, pestilence, famine, and battle, vai'iously represented by cholera, rinderpest scarcity of food in India, and the rec tification of the Prussian frontiers. | had almost omitted the greatest pestl- lcnce of all, viz: the ten per cent. mini- mum rate of discount at. the Bank of England, which can in no sense be said to have stimulated the production of piece goods. 1t is indeed very remar- kable, remembering all these untoward influences, that so much cotton should have been consumed during their con tinuanGe. Ii our present rate Of con- sumption continues some months lon- ger, | believe that cotton will not only get no lower, but that it will, on the contrary, very considerably augment in value. H@
 Are our prospects for Surat supply during the next half year particularly promising? During the last few months the trade has taken of East India cotton about 10000 bales weekly, and the cX- ports from Liverpool and London have been l5,000 bales, or 35,000 bales alto @ether. Our present supplies of Surat are a |
 366,000 bales Liverpool stock.
 9S,000 bales London stock.
 239 600 bales at sea. u
 10000 bales shipments telegraphed.
 50.000 bales overland for five months.
 10000 bales October shipment(?)
 
 793.000 bales.
 which at 35.000 bales per week, would be our supply to the first week in March, and leaves Us no stock. Y ct if spinncrs are to have fair assortment of cotton from which to select what they want, a stock of Bengal and Surat in London and Liverpool together should not be much under 10000. What probability there is of the eXisteuce of stIch stock next spring 1 have endeavored to point out. The matter is worth little dis cussion, for if the stock of Surats seri- ously declines, spinners must go to the longer staples and pay dearer rates. Gentlemen sharing my views will there fore consider Tod per To. for Dhollcrah as very moderate price, and will ad- init thaf at all events. cotton SliDpeQ in Bombay at about that figure, to arrive about February next, ought not to cause any anxiety in the minds of it's impor- tcf,s.

TuE BEATTY OF THE VIRGIN NARY

THE BEAUTY OF THE VIRGIN NARY There is no mythology, ancient ormod- ern, more poetical idea than that of Virgin Mary. The women whom poets dream of are all terrestrial. This one has nothing of the frailties or the faults of her sex. The Catholics believe her to have been born without the original sin; to have been mother without teasing to be a virgin, and, 10th to be- lieve that body that had been taber- nacle of God could suffer the decompo- sition and decay which is common to mortal remains, hold as an article of faith that, instead of dying like others, she ascended bodily into heaven, borne by the tremulous hands of angels. She has no fault; she shines pure and spot less, and is believed to exercise great influence upon the dcstinies of her vo- tai'ies. The painters and poets repre- sents her as beautiful. She is usually represented as standing ona globe with foot on serpent, because, as mother of the redeemer, she is supposed to be the one that was to crush the serpent. She holds the infant Jesus ill her arms, divine example of the sanctity of ma ternity, and wears a white dress, long and flowing, with blue cloak, indica- tive of her great faith and supreme in- nOcence.

A mercantile physician called in to prescribe, or prescribing without being called in, for the manufacturers, who are now complaining of unremunera- tive weaving, would obviously make use of the ''short time' recipe. But if the American supply be only 100000, events will force short time upon the manufacturer without waiting for its prescription, for ii is clear from the above figures that we are working up our cotton supply on far too liberal q scale, instead of nnrsing ii carefully un- til we see clearly before us the certain ty of an adequate supply. If, perad venture, a killing frost should come early, or the labor question provoke new difficulties, or the Presidents at titude toward Congress induce politi- cal complications adverse to regular cotton trade-as ii would be, of course, to all other trades-and the yield of the season of lSG6-67 for the United States should fall below 100000 bales, can it be doubted that we should again have inflated cotton prices:
 Yet will any one pretend to say that such contingencies are beyond the range of probability, or that with such contingencies on the card, the future supply of cotton can be called unusual ly promising?

If this estimate of consumption be at all warrantable, as comparsd with that of supply-specified above-wc should be left, in Great Britain and the Conti- nent, with scarcely any stock at all at the end of next year.
