COTTON CULTURE, &c A: co rrespondent of the National Intelligencer, in the COMIIO of an able article, gives tho following as a mem °earldom obtained from the private papers of our ven- ARUM Coate! at Liverpool, the late Mr. James Maury. la it the imports there of American cotton are stated at bales in 3 vessels fur 1785 6 " 3 ". 1786 100 " 5 " 1787 262 " 6 " 1788 • He adds:—“Whereas, during only one week in the anotith of March, 1843, there arrived in that port not less than 177,51.5 bales. brought from the U. States by such a 'flint of ships as had never before been seen to enter that harbor. This immense yield was produced by the South; but it was not a tithe of the last crop groan there. The entire crop of 1842 did nut fall far short of two and a half millions of bales, being 2,380,- 03j. This, at the moderate esti:nate of six cents the pots ad, or twenty-four dollars the bale, gives fifty-seven miflioss, or mire than one-third the entire floating capital of the country in this one item alone." The soma writer. in another part of his paper, says: —"When the first handful of American cotton arrived is England, half a century ago, could it have entered in to the mind of Adam Smith, or of' the most gifted seer that has ever indulged his fancy in visions of political economy, to conceive that the fleecy cargo which wan tlionawn coming over the sea, was destined to spread iiiself.„in a little while, like Ahab's cloud, over the realms taco:amerce, and to make the broad ocean white with skips an.l with-trade 1 So requisite and indispensable bast this article now become in our domestic economy, that we of the present day cannot well conceive where with man was cO:nfortahly clothed before he used cot ton as raiment. To others, but not to us. belongs the mak of interpreting end expounding those lawAof trod , : by which its future increase is to be regulated, and the ultimate bounds set to its uses. But as for the resour cci of thii cotton region, and its capacities of supply, there appears to us to b no limits, which fancy, in it 4 Widest range may reach. If wet Ike a bale as the av erage yield of an acre of ground, the statistics of the last census show that the whole quantity of land planted dawn and cultivated in cotton, throughout all the south era ;ad manor.' st ttes, would not, if brought near and thrown altogether into one broad plantation, equal the tenth part of the State of 'Ali ssisaippi alone." - THE QUEEN AND THE.

Occasionally 63 succeeded by mnely taking long strides, at other times he found it nerassary to assume a sort of a hopping movement, but ha gallantly went through the glitters without any regard to his chnuitnir !; and, though what is cumnion ly termsd "windld," he contrived to it.:l-p up a quick successiol of replies to tha royal questionings.

The royal starriness having passed in, the Mayor was alternately cheered and laughed at by the bystanders.

POR SAFETY, Travellers should select Boats prorided with Evan's Safety Guardsfor preventing Explosion of Steam Boilers IT would be well for the traveling community to bear in mind that their security depends entirely upon their own encouragement of boats that have or may be at the expense of procuring the above appara tus. And that every individual making such selec tions is contributing towards a general introduction of an invention admitted by all men who understand the principles of the Steam Engine, to be a sure preventa tive against thase dreadful disasters. You have cer tainly, in the hundreds of explosions that have already taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the thousands of lives that have already been lest, a suffi tient warning, and inducement to make inquity for a Safety guard Boat, and in every case to give it the preference. They have went to an additional expense That your lives may be secure. Ought yon not therefore to meet them with a corresponding degree of liberality, And by your przferente show that you appreciate their laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu man life. They do not charge more than other boats; their accommodations in other respects are equal, and in many cases superior; and as them is one leaving Pittsburgh every clay, why will you run any risk, when it is so completely in your °empower to avoid th , -4e dis asters.
