afraid OF further caving In OF the well, and
after his cries had ceased and il was evident
that life had fied, they filed up the well, for
ever entombing human being whom they
might have rescued, or have at least attempted
to save.
The New York Herald. OF Monday, in it's
review Of the stock market for the preceding
week, says: Southern securities were gene.
rally heavy and dull. The recent violent fuc-
tuations in the Tennessees and North Caroli-
mas. supposed to result from the mani ipu;ation
OF State officials, have driven investm ent seek
ers to other and more reliable securities. The
North Carolinas and Tenuessees were better
toward the close of the week, but only from
what is re gar led as change in the specula-
tive tactics Of the aforesaid officials. The South
Carolinas were weaker also through an appre-
hension that the State is falling into the dan
ger of lending assistance to certain railroad
enterprises. The following were the closing
prices OF the Southern list on Saturday eve
ming: North Carolina, ex coupon, 57a57a; do.

The greatest depth to which a diver con
descend is about one hundred and sixty feet
and for this bunch OF hundred weights must
be disposed about his person. The average
depth at which he can work comfortably is
about ninety feet, which was near the depth ut
which the operations upon the Royal George
were conducted. In the water from sixty to
seventy feet deep the men can work two hours
at time. coming up for ten minutes rest, and
doing days work OF SIX or seven hours. An
English diver went down in the Mediterranean
to depth OF one hundred and sixty-fve feet,
and remained there for twenty-five minutes;
and Green inspected wreck in one of the
great lakes. at a depth of one hundred and
seventy feet; but his experience was enough to
convince him that he could not work on it
without danger of life. At this depth the
pressure Of the water on the hands is so great
as to force the blood to the head and bring on
fainting its, while the requisite volume Of air
inside the dress to resist the outward pressure
of the water is SO great th at he would speedily
suffOcate.

The Cotton supply.

The cable advices which reached US day
ortwo ago in regard to the action Of the Liver
pool Cotton Supply Association, show that
our English cousins have but slender faith in
the capacity of the Southern States, under
the free labor system, to produce crops of
cotton which shall be adequate to satisfy
the wants Of Lancashire. They feel the
national necessity Of providing at once q
supply Of some sort, sufficient in quantity,
and upon the unfailing continuance of which
they can absolutely depend. Hence they
are again looking to India, and planning q
8. stematic development of the railway sys-
TEN Of that region, which shall facilitate
the transportation and export Of Indian
cotton, end 80 give the most efioacious st!..-
uIus to its production.
There are four great roads already
planned in India, in support Of which the
action Of the Cotton Association is taken
One Of theae is along the valley Of the In
dus; one to Tinnevelly and Trichinopoly;
one to Verumgoon, and the last into the
Mahratta country. The argument urged
by the friends OF the roads is that it is q
wise choice Of evils for her Majesty's Govern
ment to assist the construction Of these roads
rather than allow cotton culture in India to
die out, as it must do, II the competition Of
American cotton is kept UP with the rela-
tive advantages oftthe rival producers uu-
changed; that the reads cannot be built
without such aid; that, being built, India
will supply the Lancashire mills, and speed
lily and permanently relieve them from their
present dependence upon the cotton fields
Of America. 1t Is urged, moreover, that
the very country that thus supplies the
crude material for manufacture will, by the
heightened facilities for transport, become
great market for what's manufactured.
Though the resolution Of the Cotton Sup
ply Association in no degree binds the gov
ernment to the action proposed, still, the
uniform favor which has heretofore been
shown by Eogland towards the policy Of
extending the railway system Of India,
when nothing more than the prosperity and
political stability Of her Asiatic province
was involved. would seem to render it GER
tain, now that Liverpool and Manchester
have declared that the safety Of the great
home manufacturing interest is at stake,
that the request Of the association will be
met with ready compliance. Thus aided
- Inc British Government, the Indian cot,
ton growers may, in few seasons, be able
to bring their fibre into oloser and more
direct rivalry with our own than Has been
possible In the past. e 'se
But in ell this there 10 nothing 70 occa-
sion the, leaat disquist 70 the cotton plant
ers Of the South. Do what she may.
Great Britain 10 not likely, soon again, to
have as favorable an opportunity, to foster
and encourage the cotton production. OF In-
dia as she enjoyed during our late war; and
the efforts which failed then to establish
her independence of American cotton will
as surely fail now

CEMENT.


A correspondent communicates q
recipe for cement used in the king
dom of Tunis for lining water cisterns,
and remarkable for its firm and COM
pact character. The Tunisian masons
take two parts of wood ashes, three of
lime and one of fine sand, which, after
being well sifted and mixed together,
they beat for long time with wooden
mallets, sprinkling the composition
alternately and at proper fines with
a little oil and water. until it becomes
of a due consistence. This cement is
chiefly used in arches, cisterns and
terraces. But the pipes of the acque-
ducts in Tunis are joined by beating
tow and lime together with oil only,
without any mixture of water. Both
these compositions, it is slated, quick
ly assume the hardness of stone, and
suffer no water to prevade them.
Our correspondent states that he pre-
pared this mixture sixteen years ago,
using hickory ashes and linseed oil,
