MURDER AT YARMOUTH.—A few days ago two ferrymen, named Cook and Mann, having to settle about some fish which they brought to market, and Mann not giving full satisfaction to the other, a quarrel ensued, and Cook knocked Mann down, saying, " Now, you , I will do for you." and gave him a kick in the abdomen. The poor fellow never spoke afterwards, and expired in about an hour. Cook was apprehended the same night, and was tali-6n before Mr. Samuel Palmer, the mayor, and a bench of mngistrates, on Monday, when, after a lengthened investigation, be was committed to Norwich Castle to take his trial at the next assizes.  We are indebted to a correspondent for some interesting extracts from the private letters of one of the American cotton planters in Bengal. Our readers will learn with regret that hitherto the experiments in that presidency have been failures. This, however, is entirely to be ascribed to the unfavourable nature of the climate in Bundelkund—the withering hot wind which prevails there having blasted the hopes of the planters. The intelligent writer, however, does not despair of being able to find suitable beations where these disadvantages do not prevail. The indigenous cotton appears to thrive better than the American—and there is a marked superiority of the American over the native mode of cultivation. The planter says : be tront I " Had those who  ttled us here explored all India for the t, this would have been the spot they n. This is proved from the fact that  in the, part of the Dooah and Btindelkund, where we are  located there are no indigo factories or sugar mills ; in a word, thare is nothing produced here but a little miserable grain, which affords the people a precarious subsistence, and a little poor cotton which affords them scarcely clothing, and which is too uncertain to risk being planted by itself, but is sown with a dozen different kinds of pulse. Notwithstanding the unfortunate result which has attended our efforts here, we do not despair of success in a more genial clime; and I doubt not that India possesses territory equal in extent to the whole cotton growing region of the United States which will produce the article ; and, with the assistance of government, which I am sure the present rulers will lend, we will find them out ;. and judging from the description► Hamilton's Gazetteer gives, I would venture to point out the following countries in which I think the American cotton very likely to, succeed, viz., Bengal about Dacca, Moorshedabad, Bhangulpore, Jumu!poor, Dinagepoor, Rungpoor, and even to Ghornekpoor, Oude, Rohilcund, &c. In the selection of these districts I have_ kept entirely out of, the range of the .• •  course of this part of the country hot winds. I may also add Malwa, particularly about Saugor and Jubbulpoor. From the latter district Captain M`Leod sent us some seed, and on looking over them I found a lock of cotton, which I think particularly good. I need not attempt to enumerate the many sections of country on your side of India in which I think good cotton can be produced, as you will have a great acquisition to your practical knowledge in the planter who is qf setting out for your presidency. The native  upon the ev  nourishes most luxuriantly under our Mode of cultivation ; the hot wind does not affect that so much as it does a foreign plant. It is not very prolific under any circumstances, but from its present appearance it will produce a great deal more than the natives realise from it, but unfortunately we have planted largely of the American variety, and but sparingly of the indigenous. The rain just came in time to save the khureef, or wet weather crop ; so, upon the whole, this will be a good season for the native grain crops. The khureef will not be so good as it would have been with a shower or two in August, but the people will not starve. The Indian corn crop is entirely cut in this neighbourhood. —Bombay Times, Nov. 2.
