Cotton Market—Cotton Crops, &c. It has been said, and most justly, too, that this country is a greater and a richer country than any in Europe, by the amount of its cotton crop ; such is the fact, and such will ever be the case. And when in the course of events we have brought our domestic manufactures to that pitch of perfection, as will enable us to compete with the old and es tablished cotton lords of England, the wealth, the value, the importance of the cotton crop to the people of this country will be increased five fold. As it is, however, the cotton crop is the great ful crum upon which our cotton lords place their lever to move the European world. Within the last ten years we have consumed in our manufac tories less than two millions of bales, or but very little more than the reported crop for the last year, 1,800,000 bales. And if, with this state of things, our cotton crop is of so much importance, what will it be in ten more years, when with a ten fold population, we shall bo consuming in our own manufactories two thirds, or half of all that wo produce 1 And nothing that we can say will pre sent this fact in so striking a point of view as the certified returns of the declared value of manufac tured cotton goods sent from England in fourteen years amounting to 307 millions of pounds ster ling. The importance of this subject to the leading commercial men of Europe, demands that we should detail the following expose of the present state of the Cotton Market, &c. in this country, as a guide to the financial and other operations of the leading commercial men in Europe. To ac complish this, we have been at great pains to es tablish a correspondence with the leading men of experience and practical knowledge throughout 1 the South and West, from whom we have recei ved full and accurate details, which we have con densed into the following account, and which our readers in Europe will readily perceive docs away with the necessity of then consulting any of the heavy, blundering, incorrect, senseless journals of Wall street. The first important item that will be sought af ter, on the arrival of the Royal William in Eu tropc, (for many and powerful reasons,) will be the best calculated account of the coining crop, now in progress of picking. “And perhaps it would here be best to present a tabular statement of the total crops for the last 14 years. Bales. Hales. 1824, 560,000 1831, 987,477 1825. 712,000 1832, 1,070,438 1820, 937,000 1833, 1,205,394 1827, 713,000 1834, 1,254,328 1828, 857,744 1835, 1,360,725 1829, 976,845 1836, 1,422,930 1830, 1,038,843 1837, 1,801,497 Now the first question that arises upon view of this statement, is the cause of the singular differ ence in different years ; and we may reply, that this was caused by the operations of the joint stock local banks. The revulsion in England in 1825, affected the cotton crop hero materially. True, the crop in 1826 was increased, but this in crease was caused by the increased expansion of the banks just previous to the revulsion ; tire com paratively large cotton crop of 1826 was the fruit of the seed emanating from that expansion ; for to withdraw from the total growth is a work of time, and cannot be accomplished in a single season ; but the crop of 1827 fell off 200,000 bales—and it was not until the community had completely rallied from the. effects of that revulsion, that is, about the year 1829 that the crop was as large as that of 1826. Again, there is a striking increase in the crop of 1837 over that of 1836, to the amount of 400,000 bales. Now it will i, c remem bered that in this country in the early part of 1836, the expansion by the banks was tremen dous ; this caused the planters to obtain unusual facilities; they took more land into cultivation employed more force—and die result was an in crease of 400,000 bales. In the summer of 1836 Tnc Bank of England first began to discredit 'American paper; this produced ultimately the tremendous revulsion here in the spring of 1837, ( which, however,occurred too late to affect the l crop of that year. Now, then it remains to be j m seen this year whether like causes will produce . like effects. —That is, wil the crop fall short 1 W answer unhesitatingly, it will, and principally j from this very cause ; some slight deficiency may, I and has been caused in Arkansas and Tennessee by the long droughl ; but the amount of growth here is so unimportant, compared to Miscissipi, j Alabama and Georgia, that it i hardly fair to take | that into account -j ; a principal catrc. From tlir best calculations wc have been able to make, based upon our returns from the planters in the various southern and western states, wc feel certain that the entire crop of this country for this year will fall short of 1,500,000 bales. We even doubt whether there will be over 1,400,000 bales. This, from a casual inspection of the growth table given above, makes it about on a par with the crop of 1836, but it will be even less that the growth of that vear. For the crisis of the period, though not affecting the growth, actually prevented about 100,000 bales from coming into the market, which remained in the interior, and made the total crop 1,532,900 ; so that under these circumstances wc feel positive that the coming crop will not exceed that of 1836. In estimating the difference in the number of bales in different years, wo ought, before this, to have called attention to one important fact, 'iz : in the 710,000 bales grown in 1825, there could not have been more than 248,500,000 pounds; whereas, in the 1,801,497 bales, grown last year, there were at least 810,073,650 pounds. This extra increase of pounds in proportion to the num ber of bales, was owing to the fact, that ten or twelve years back, cotton was put up in long bags, not compressed, and the bale did not average over 325, or at the most, 350 pounds. On the other hand, the bales put up in 1837, averaged, on the lowest calculation, 450 pounds to the bale; and, in isolated instances, as much as 900 pounds have been compressed into one bale. This, therefore, should bo taken into account in estimating the amount grown at the present time. With regard to the coining crop, there are many reasons why it must fall short. The drought, in the state of Tennessee, has cut off two-thirds, and left only a one third crop; so severe and of so long duration was it that in many places the plan ters ploughed in the growing cotton and planted corn. Again, the same effect was fell in the sandy part of Mississippi, which occupies about onc seventh of the cotton growing district. Hut another cause was felt here; the revulsion and con sequent scarcity of money at one time almost de prived the Mississippi planters of the power to procure corn, bacon, and other supplies from New Orleans for their plantations. The consequence was, that as we. ascended the Mississippi in the spring we saw' many acres of cotton land planted with corn.—A letter from Georgia, received yes terday, represents the crop in that state as falling far short of an average. Some of the cotton lands in Louisiana were last year planted with cane, the planters having been tempted by the good luck of the previous year. Again, the picking season is scarcely half way through; the bole opens in Au gust and continue opening until December, and the calculation of 1,500,000 bales for the coming crop is based upon the most favorable calculations; should the ensuing part of the season turn out unfavorable for picking—such, for instance, as heavy rains to knock down the plant, an early frost to top it short, it may even be reduced 10 or 15 per cent^more. Thus much, then, for the coming crop, upon which the shipments to England depend; but there arc other causes that will be brought to bear upon the quantity shipped the coming season to Europe. Last year the total shipped was 1,575,029 bales. The year before we shipped 1,168,425 bales. Amongst that shipped last year was 125,000 bales of the old crop, kept on hand from a previ ous year. This year nothing remains of the. old crop worth speaking of; not over 8,000 bales. Again, the increased and steadily increasing (■on sumption of cotton in our manufactories, as shown by the following table, will affect the exports of cotton. The following amount was worked up in our manufactories during the last 12 years:— 1826, 103,483 1832, 194,412 1827, 120,593 1833, 196,413 1828, 118,853 1834, 216,888 1829, 128,512 1835, 230,783 1830, 182,143 1836, 222,549 1831, 173,800 1837, 246,066 By which it w ill he seen that the increase in eight years have been over 100,000 bales. It must he borne in mind, whilst referring to the shipments of eotton this year to England, that should any cause operate as it has heretofore done to keep hack 150,000 hales in the interior, that amount must be allowed for. In respect to last year’s shipments, nothing was kept back ; every thing was shipped oil. It should be remembered, also that many ot the largest cotton growers in the south are perfectly independent and wealthy men, who arc not under obligations to any bank and who don’t owe a debt to any one ; such planters of course, will hold on to their cotton, and not send it forward unless the prices are good. Tire quantity from Texas, too, we arc credibly advised, will tall short this year, owing to the in creased tide of emigration to that country, which makes it more advisable for the planters to raise rorn ; one farmer of our acquaintance having rais ed 16,600 bushels of corn, for which he obtained S 3 per bushel. With its present force and avail able land Texas could next year raise 100,000 bales of eotton of excellent staple. The crop, wo have not the least doubt, will also he very late in coming to market; for the western rivers are very much lower than they have been at this season for fifteen or twenty years ; and if this state of things continues, as it is very likely to do, the cotton will come into market slowly. The demand for cotton, when the crop reach us will be very much increased for the consumption m our manufactories. The extreme dry weather which we had for many months, prevented our manufacturers from operating ; all the mills were stationary, and out of operation. This added to the increased demand for domestic cotton goods, (m which there has been a very brisk trade re cently) and the fact that the market will soon be iare of them, will cause a larger quantity than usual to be retained for home consumption. With regard to the price of cotton, it would he tolly to suppose that it will decline; it must sus tain itself, if only for the above reasons. Again the country generally is very hare of imported cot tons; the planters are fast getting out of debt they are in want of supplies ; this will increase the demand for manufactured goods in England to a considerable extent, and may be brought to oper ate upon the raw material. Much has been said about the proposed operations of the Bank of Ala bama, in cotton, by advancing on it; but these movements, if carried into effect, will not operate °/ 00(1011 in Liverpool. About one ballot the crop m Mississippi is held by the banks on the planters notes; but even this fact will not, hmk, affect the operations of the market here.

From the Cohivibia (Mo.) Patriot of the 22 d tilt. The Mormon Difficulties. The true secret of the excitement against the Mormons, it is shrewdly suspected, lies in the de sire to keep them oil' some of the fine lands in Carroll, Davies, and the counties adjoining Cald well. They have settled sonic rich farms which are very tempting to the cupidity of some citizens, who think by raising an outcry against them and exciting them to violence they may be driven off and their lands lie portioned out to other hands. Such we believe to be the very worthy purpose at the bottom of all this outcry, and to aid in carry ing this laudable design into effect can but be the ultimate result, though perhaps, undesigned, of the movement of troops now against the Mormons. In addition to this we annex the more conclu sive testimony of a committee sent by the citizens of Chariton county to investigate the state of the difficulty in the (ircen river counties. The report is as follows: Keytksville, Sept. 10, 1808. To the citizens of Chariton : The committee appointed for the purpose on the 3d hist have to-day returned from the neighbor hood of the. Mormon difficulties, and left the Mor mons begging for peace. Joseph Smith and Ly man Wight came before judge King on Friday last for trial, and bound with security in the sum of 1,000 each, to appear at the next regular term of the court for further trial. The crime seems (from the evidence) only to have been the taking of an armed force into the county of Daviess, which the Mormons say they were led to do, from hearing that two of their church had been killed at the election, and that the citizens of Daviess had refused to suffer them to be buried until a mob could be raised to drive the balance out of the county: but that on their arrival in the county they learned that, nobody had been killed. They then called at Adam Black’s, to learn whether a mob would be raised, as had boon reported; when Mr. Black assured them that he had not nor would not attach himself to any mob. Mr. Black was then requested to give up his statement in writing; he refused to sign the. instrument presented to him by one of the company, but drew an instrument himself and signed it, which was to this effect, that he was bound to support the constitution of this state and of the United States; and that he was not nor would not attach himself to mob, nor would not molest the Mormons if they did not molest him. Mr. Black says, that Mr. Smith may have said that he would not be forced to sign any : and Mr. Smith proves that he assured Mr. Black that he should not be forced to sign any instru ment of writing but that he requested it as a favor. Messrs. Smith and Wight say that they have at all times been willing to give themselves up to an officer, to administer law, but not willing to be taken by a mob who were threatening their lives daily, and who were endeavoring to drive them from the county, after having sold to the Mormons their improvements. There were great fears mani fested by the citizens of Daviess, that if the Mor mons gave themselves up to be tried by the law' it would allay the difficulty. The citizens insist, that, the Mormons are disagreeable neighbors, and that they are not willing to live in the county with them. The Mormons have, perhaps, become the majority of Daviess county. The committee have thought proper, to take from Messrs. Smith and Higdon the following cer tificates. “ Wo hereby certify that we have learned that, a Mr. Nathan Marsh has certified that the people some time called Mormons have ingratiated them selves with the Indians, for the purpose of getting the Indians to commit depredations upon the peo ple of this state, which certificate of Marsh (as represented to us) is utterly false. We have never had any communication with the Indians on any subject; and we, and all the Mormon church, as we believe, entertain the same feelings and fears towards the Indians that are entertained by other citizens of this state. We are friendly to the con stitution and laws of this state and of the United States, and wish to see them enforced. JOSEPH SMITH, jr., SIDNET HIGDON.” Sworn to and subscribed before me this Bth day of September, A. D. 1838. ELIAS lIIGBEE. One of the justices of the county court within and for Caldwell county.

An express met them a few miles beyond Boonvillc, which caused this retrograde movement. The difficulty with the Mormons is amicably settled and quiet restored. Religion- in- Paius.—Bennett, of the New York Herald, in one of his late letters, has the annexed remarks on this subject : “In Paris there is very little religion, as it is understood in England. There are plenty of churches, and people go to them. But there is no solemnity or sourness of aspect. Os lute, I learn that Protestantism is increasing in Paris, Great efforts are making here to increase it, the Catholics being very careless themselves about their religion but as an intellectual movement, its day is over. I understand, however, that a Protestant quarterly review is about to be publish ed in Paris, in the English language, and that a great effort will be made to create a revival of Protestantism all over France and the continent. I need not disguise the general fact-all the higher classes, comprising the litcrarv, scientific and educated men in France and Germany, per haps elsewhere, arc a species of Unitarians, such as they exist in Boston. In England, Dr. Chari mng, of Boston, is well known, and he is consid ered there the modern Bosseut or Massillon of the new philosophical species of Christianity. For my own poor self, I was educated a Catholic, and a Catholic I will ever remain—but it is a Catholic on my own hook, taking the liberty to think as I please of those old humbugs the Pope, cardinal priests, and other tag-rag of past ages.

Anecdote of Jerome Uonnparte. He was one day, he said, absolutely in want oj twenty-live louis, his purse being empty, although General Mural, governour of Paris, and who was very fond of him, often assisted him with his; hut this time the latter resource failed him ; and the quarters’ allowance which he received from the consul had been spent in advance. What was he to do ! To whom address himself? To his oth er brothers ? They were absent. Joseph and Louis commanded regiments at a distance ; Lu cien was on an embassy to Lisbon or Madrid. As to his mother, she could not see any reason for giving money to a young scapegrace like him, whom she loved tenderly, hut whose morals she was more anxious for than his prodigality'. What could he think of ! It came into his head to pay a visit to a holy man, his uncle Fesch (become a cardinal). He presents himself, and is well recei ved by this worthy relation, at whose house a nu merous party is assembled. Ho is invited to din ner; after dinner they pass into the saloon to lake codec. At this moment Jerome watches the car dinal entering another room; he follows him thither, draws into a corner this dear uncle, whom he had already so often wheedled out. of money, and requests the same favour again ; hut the other is immoveable, and refused flatly. Cardinal Fesch, it was well known, was always a great lover of pictures ; now the room in which they wore form ed the commencement of his fine gallery, which has become so remarkable for its collection of the master-pieces of all the schools. When Jerome heard this positive refusal, he turned abruptly round, “Sec !” said he, “there is a rascal who seems to he laughing at the affront I have received. 1 will be revenged.” At the same time he draws his sabre, and directs the point against the face of a find old man, painted by Van Dyck, whose eyes he threatened to cut out. It may he imagined what a fright the cardinal was in at seeing him ready to transpierce a masterpiece ; he nttemps to stay his arm ; but the young man will not hear reason, till the twdnty-iive louis have been pro mised him. The uncle capitulates, peace is made, and they embrace.— Mademoiselle Cochelel. The Bugle of Anncslic. “‘An’ye winna believe i’ the Bogle?’ said a pretty young lassie to her sweetheart, as they sat in the door of her father’s cottage one fine Autumn evening:—do you hear that, mitlicr, Andrew ’ll no believe i’ the Bogle ? ‘“Gudc be wi’ us, Efticl’ exclaimed Andrew, — slender and delicate youth of about two and twenty, —‘a bonny time I wad hac o’t gin I were to heed every auld wife’s clatter.’ “The words ‘auld wife’ hud a manifest effect on Eflic, and she hit her lips in silence. Her mother immediately upon the young man’s prejudices nar rating that on Anncslic Heath, at ten o’clock o’ night, a certain apparition was wont to appear in the form of a maiden above the usual size, with a wide three-cornered hat. Sundry other particulars were mentioned, hut Andrew was still incredulous. ‘Hc’l rue that, dearly will he rue’t !’ said Elbe, us he departed. “Many days, however, passed away, end Eflic was evidently much disappointed to find that the skepticism of her lover gathered strength. Nay, he laid the audacity to insult, by gibes and jests, the true believers, and to call upon them for the reasons of their faith. Eflic was in a terrible passion. “At last, however, her prophecy was fulfilled Andrew was passing over the moor, while the clock struck ten ; for it was his usual practice to walk at that hour, in order to mock the fears of his future bride. Hcvvasjust windinground the thick et which opened to him a view of the cottage where Etlie dwelt when he heard a light step behind him, and in an instant, his feet were tripped up, and he lay prostrate on the turf. Upon looking up he be held a tall muscular man bending over him, who inno courteous manner, desired to see the contents of his pocket. Do’il be on yc !” exclaimed the young forester. ‘I hac hut ae coin i’ the world.— 1 That coin maun I hac,’ said assailant. ‘Faith! I’se show yc fair play for’t, then,’ said Andrew, and sprung upon his feet “Andrew was esteemed the best cudgel player for twenty miles around, so that in brief space, he cooled the ardor of his antagonist, and dealt such visitations upon his scull as might have made a much firmer head ache for a fortnight. The man stepped hack, and pausing in his assault, raised his hand to his forehead, and buried it among his dark locks. It returned covered with blood. ‘Thou hast cracked my crown,’ he said, ‘but ye sha’na gang scathelessand flinging down his cudgel, he flew on his young foe, and grasping his body before he was aware of the attack, whirled him to the earth with an appaling impetus. ‘The Lord ha mercy on me!’ said Andrew, ‘l’m a dead man.’ “Ho was not far from it, for his rude foe was preparing to put the finishing stroke to his victory. Suddenly something stirred in the bushes, and the conquerer, turning away from his victim, cried out. ‘The Bogle! the bogle!’ and fled precipitantly.— Andrew ventured to look up. He saw the figure which had been described to him approaching; it came nearer and nearer; its face was very pale, and its slop was not heard on the grass. At lust it stood by his side and looked down upon him. Andrew buried his’ face in his cloak; presently the apparition spoke—indistinctly indeed, for its teeth seemed to chatter with cold; —‘ 'This is a cold an’ an ceric night to bo sac late on Anncslic Moor!’ and immediately glided away. Andrew lay a few minutes in a trance ; and then arising from his cold bed, ran hastily towards the cottage of Ida mistress. His hair stood on end, and the vapors of the night, sunk chill upon his brow as he lifted up the latch, and (lung himself upon an oaken seat. “Preserve us!’ cried the old woman. ‘ Why ye are mair than ancongh to frighten a body out o’ her wits!

Mr. Stephens, in giving an account of his visit to tho cathedral church at Cracow—“allied in its history with the memorable annuls of Poland; the witness of the ancient glory of their kings and their seculchre”—after describing the tombs of Waldislaus le Href, Kusirncr the Great and the Sigismunda, says: “On the lower side of the church by the side of Poniatowski, the Polish Bayard, is the tomb of one nobler in my eyes than*all the kings of Poland or of the woild.—lt is of red marble, ornamented with the cap and plume of tho peasant of Cracow, and bears the simple inscription of‘T.Kcg dusko.’ All over the church I had read elaborate panegyrics upon the tenants of the royal sepulchres, and I was struck with this simple inscription, and re membered that the white marble column reared amid the magnificent scenery of the Hudson which i had often gazed at from the deck of a steamboat, and at whose base I had often stood, bore also in majestic simplicity the name of‘Kos ciusko.’ It was late in the afternoon, and the group of peasants, two Poles from the. interior, and a party of the citizens of Cracow, among whom were several ladies, joined me at the tomb. M!e could uni speak eac h others language; we were horn and lived thousands of miles apart, and we were strangers in our thoughts and feelings, in all our hopes and prospects, but we bad a bond of sympathy at the grave of Kosciusko. One of the ladies spoke French, and I told them that, in my far distant country, the name of their nation’s idol was hallowed; that schoolboys had erected a monument to his memory. They knew that he bad fought by the side of Washington, but they did not know that the recollection of his services was still so dearly cherished in America; and we all agreed that it was the proudest tribute that could be paid to bis memory, to write merely his name on bis monument. It meant that it was needless to add an epitaph, for no man would ask, who was Kosciusko 1 COMMERCIAL. New Orleans, October 20. Cotton. —There has been a fair demand throughout the week until yesterday, when there appeared to be a holding otf on the part of purchasers, in conse quence of the high rates asked by holders, which is full 1-4 per cent over the prices of last week, and sales haue generally been made at that advance, but purchasers feel unwilling to go any further at the present asking prices, notwithstanding the stock on - sale is small, for it has generally met with ready sale on arrival since the new crop has been coming in. The sales have been principally for the Havre and Northern markets, with but a small proportion-for Liverpool. The transactions of the week amount to about 4500 bales, among which was a fancy crop of HO bales, which sold at 14 7-8 cents per lb. The exports are 9723 bales against 5645 to the same period last season, making an excess of 1077 hales—there is an excess to France of 4014 hales. The receipts are 8016 bales, cleared 4671, leaving on hand and on ship board, not cleared, 16,467 bales.
