The following letter from a gentleman in Liv- * erpool, was puhi shed origin-illy in the t'inciuna ti Gazette. We transfer it to our columns l.e- ' cause (he subject is one of vast importance to us, and because the writer points to results which may ti >w from the successful culture of Cotton in India, which have never entered into the dis cussion of the vjuestion in this country, but in | one solitary instance. We are of those who be- * hrve that India Colton will, at some day not far \ distant, be a powerful competitor in the markets I now supplied by our staple; and whether we are mistaken or not in our calculations, it is certain ly the part of wisdom to examine all the ar bli me lit s of each side.—A*. O, Tropic. Liverpool, Sept. I. 1842. Dear Sir:—When hr the Colton section of the States, I was induced to think the India ef forts on the part of Government would prove a failure. 1 based this calculation upon these data, that your skill, machinery, fertility of soil, cheap ness ol conveyance, and nearness to us, would enable you to put down any competition. Bince my return home I have conversed with a friend from India, who tesided for a long time in Charleston and was familiar with Cotton grow ing. and who is now engaged in its cultivation in ’he East—and ftom facts furnished to me by him, 1 am satisfied I was wrong. The experiment in India will succeed, and the j success will be both ispid and permanent. They wilPnot only grow the cotton, hut they will man ufacture it, and supply us besides with la<ge quan tities of the raw material. What effect, you may ask, will this have upon the States* The fust effect will be to drive you out of the South American markets. That has been your ground. You drove us away from it —underselling us without difficulty. Hut in In dia they m.mufac.ture a coarse fabric (which just suits that maiket) cheaper than you possibly can. and. consequently, you will have in turn to yield. It was a fatal policy on your part which left your manufactu es to stand against the world without home protection. They can do a great deal; more than most peopb; but they can’t com plete with pauper labor, or the cheap work ol In) dia, unless helped by the home duties. The second effect must he to change the culti vation of a large number of the Slates engaged in the growth of cotton. The rich alluvial bot toms ot the Mississippi may enable ibe planter there to cultivate cotton at 4 or 5 cents with pro ti*. I suppose it will. Hut in Georgia and the < •arolnuw, ff 1 am any judge ot the soil, it cannot he done. You ought to know all about this. If I remember tight, the average crop in the States would not be more than 500 lbs. to the acre, [it will not be over 300 lbs.—Eds] and if so, cotton growing there will prove a I »sing business.— What the<e Stales may turn their hands to, or in what way they may employ their capital, profit ably, 1 can only conjecture; but I fear, brought as they are, they will want lamentably that thrift and energy of the Yankee which will be needed to get through that trial safely. The third effect, and that on which our legis lators and philanthropists like must to dwell, is the anticipated influence on the negro race. If our government had fostered your manufactures. so a® to give them durability, and as you Ameri cans, put them ahead, so that they may have con i. suaoed one your cotton crop, you.* might . have competed with the world and ] j kept np the value of the slaves, and so continued slavery for several ages. But this was nffi done, v and the lime is now pan for doing it. If, then, India can inanufactuic the raw material so as to drive you out of the Bouth American market, 1 and supply us with cotton so as to meet half our t wants, you will have no market which will pay j you remunerating prices. The consequence will be, that the slave will be au actual eip p nse to his . owner; he will eat him out of home; ancf there fore. lie must in self defence get rid of him. , Thus you see by your own legislation, and from • j sh-gle fact, that our government embraces I the opportunity to push forward the India enter prise, more is doing to bring about a general emancipation of the blacks than all other causes put together.

The Invention of the Steam Engine —ls a report ]ust published in the French and English papers be true, our countryman Fulton is to be stripped of his laurels, as the first person who succ, ssfullvapplied the steam engine lo purposes of navigation. A letter from Madrid, published in the Cnni nieree, a French paper, contains an account of the discovery, tit the royal archives of Salaman ca, of authentic documents, proving what has before rested on vague tradition, to wit—that in IS4*J Don Blasco dc Gamy, a captain in the na vy, submitted to Ihe examination of the Empe ror Charles V. a machine moved by the steam of boiling water; that it was applied by him lo a ship ot two hundred lons burthen, and tiicd in the Roads ol Barcelona on the 17th oh June. 1543, and succeeded perfeclly; and that the em peror and his son, and several of the nobles, i wore present and witnessed the experiment. But ills said thal the grard treasurer, R.avago, , thought’ it right to advise that the invention should not be adopted in the vessels of the state; , it was too complicated, too expensive, and he had reason lo fear 100 frequent explosions. The special committee who reported on the occasion 3 contented themselves by saying that the ship | propelled by the engine alone went three leagues ■ the first two hours, then a league an bcur, and could move faster than a common rowing galley. ! * 1 The emperor made Gamy a liberal present, and s 1 was promised to place him at the head of the na f J tionai navy.

After Mr. Thor as had finished, Mr. Cohen read the bill reported by the same e committee.

Mr. Cohen opposed the motion. He thought: the documents were voluminous, and their print ing could lie productive of no benefit; that it would be injurious to private credit, as well as lo tbe loitering condition of the Bank, that the de sire to print the names of tbe debtors, which had been persisted in, indicated the indulgense of. passion.

Mr Wofford believed every director in the bank had been honest, and Ihunght im good could come ol printing “them documents. 1 ’ Mr. La mar, of Bibb, tflougiu the publication of the debtors names would he "indelicate.” Mr IJchols told them they ought not lo keep the peo ple in the dark about the affairs of ihe ‘‘people's hank;“ or, as he was pleased t»,tenn it, “tjie. people's sub treasuryg’ Mr Tbpmas moved to postpone, Jor the present, the lunher consider*- ■ lion oftthe itartion in dispute, which failed.

Mr. Crawford retorted in a speech seasoned with good Rumored satire. He seemed to afford peculiar gratification lo himself and his hearers, by repeatedly using Ihe quotation, (made by the gentleman from Bibb on a former occasion,) “I shun no question, and 1 wear no mask!” Mr. Wofford again strained his lungs to the lull power of their shrill tenor, or treble. Mr. Hibberts made a peiss at the subject. Mr. Hun ter said but little—but that little was character istically emphatic. Mr. Barclay, too, gave evi dence of the faith that is within him, by saying that the people had ‘‘already been informed about the Central Bank to their heart’s sorrow,” and . he was opposed even to printing the report. Mi. Wofford again renewed the motion to postpone, which was again lost. The yeas and nays were then taken on the original motion of Mr. Crawford as amended Wy Mr. Cohen—nays IDO, yeas CB. Bo if any body wants positive prool of the facts which the committee have reported, with many additional and interesting items, he must come ioMilledgo- | ville and examine for himself. The investiga- j lion will not require more than two or three month’s labor. The House adjourned at half past one and j met at 3 o’clock this afternoon. T hey passed a few local and unimportant bills. Mr. Campbell, ol tbe minority of the Commit tee on the State of the Republic, handed his re port to the Clerk, which was received, read and ordered to be printed. In the Senate, Mr. Ridley’s report of the mi nority of the Committee on the State of the Republic, was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. Spalding's bill lo repeal the charter ofthe Central Bank was taken up.* Mr. M’Dougald offered an amendment lo the first section, which would include all banks chartered since 1810.— On Ihe amendment the vote was, nays 48. veas 24 —not a single Whig voting in the affirmative. A motion was then made to lay the bill on the table for the remainder of the session, which re sulted—nays 37, yeas 30. There has been another district bill framed as . I suspect, to snit the views of those most friend ly to it. The political result will not be maleri ' ally changed by it however, unless districts may be so laid on and divided as to render it possible that one or both of onr Speakers might gel lo Congress. 1 remember an old vulgarism, Who knows where a wild steer will run,” which I hope . nobody suspects I mean to apply here. N. H. *The Bill will be found in another column. r j. Milledgevii.i.e, December 7, 1842. Mr Crawford moved to reconsider his yester day’s motion lo print the accompanying docu ments of the report upon the Central Bank.— • Mr. Thomas advocated tbe printing in a few re f marks. Mr. Guerry feared the refusal to print . on the part of the majority might I e aiisai-pie t bended; that the people might suspect a design . lo conceal facts, which misapprehension would f, make matters worse than they really were; that e there were letter writers here who would view it 5 in their own phases, and spread their opinions a beibrethe country. He hoped there would be a I reconsideration'. e Mr. Cohen would vole for a reconsideration for reasons petsonal to himself. He thought 8 the gentleman from Muscogee had used pertinent and powerful arguments, but they had nol con vinced him that the publication would not pro e duce the most serious consequences to flic bank, y art-i lie believed the effect would be that individ- I e uai: would lake advantage of circumstances, bv j s, commencing suits against the debtors of the i| hank, in order to obtain priority of judgments.— He then read a resolution, which he intends to d offer when the motion to print shall come up for ~ decision: —“ Resolved , That the document con 's taining the names of the debtors of the Central | T Bank, and the amounts due, averaged according . to counties, be retained on the table for the use and examination of the members; and that after the adjournment of the Legislature, it should be *' filed in the Executive office for the examination J * and inspection of any citizen o£ Georgia.” *' The House then agreed to reconsider—yeas I* 108, nays 61. 'e After the reading of the Journals, the resolu tion to dispense with the calling ofthe counties after to-day, was taken up and adopted; also, some score or more lacal bills were introduced. Mr. Hibberts introduced a bill, requiring the several Banks in this State to advertise annual ly for three months in the newspapers, all their 1 liabilities, specie and notes due, and on hand, together with a list ofthe nanus of their debtors, principals and endorsers—providing, always, “that nothing herein contained shall be so con strued as to apply to the Central Bank. Mr. Barclay’s relief bill came up as the order of the day for reconsideration, and tile remain der of the morning was wasted upon it. The tenor of the bill, whatever may be the intentions ol its mistaken authors, tends not to the equita ble and proportionate distribution of justice— not to protect the honest suffering debtor from the rapacious claws of the greedy creditor—but to build up the privileges of the debtor upon the ruins ofthe rights of ihe creditor—and its prac tical operation would be prejudicial to the best interests of both parties. Well, lam constrain ed to admit that the debtor classes form the true democracy of the country, not only in numbers, but to all intents ami purposes. Then, why should they not have it all their own way !

Mr. Barclay i/tslresscd the House with his crude fallacies and fugitive notions, until his •wn weariness admonished hint to —sit down. Mr. Crawford, with unusual earnestness, de scribed the perilous ground upon which- they were about lo tread; and asked them, if thev once presumed to touch the sacredness of vested rights—it they could violate and over-ride the ■constitution by suspending the fulfilment of for twelve months, could they nol-doit for twelve years 3 Passages of native eloquence sparkled through his speech, and shed I heir rays of light upon the almost deserted path which leads to the ga' s of truth. Mr. Lloyd ol Chatham, who is a very young man, took an able, enlightened and patriotic review of ils provisions and effect*. Ile was lor ■ making a stand in defence of the c-viatitnlion, proscripliis obsla. Mr. Hibberts said that when he saw two or three on one, lie always lilt like parting them. That is a generous impulse. He said his “soul was swi-en ‘o its utmost extent for the offering people.” 1 hat’s another. For a moment some fears might have been entertained that his soul Would hurst its tenement and leave a Cacuv.ni \u the legislative hotly—but I am happy to stale “he lives lo light another dav.” Mr Bothwell, ot Jefferson, said hr had nol intended to trouble Ibe House with anv n-marks on tnesubji-ct, but “the thunder still rolled from the mountains,” (alluding to Hibberts) ami he would give his reasons for voting again: i the hill. Tne vole on the passage of the hill came ;n last, and the troublesome thing, which Iw.s cost the people as much as S3OOO worth of debate, is dead—nay* 120, yeas 51. The House then ad journed until 3 o’clock. 1 his afternoon, a hill to lay out a new coun ty lo lie called “Glasscock,” from the counties ") Irwin, Waie and Lowndes, was rejected. The joint Committee on Internal Improve ment reported.' The minority report resom ptends a suspension of the work on the West leru Atlantic Rail I\oad, and the disbandment of the Civil Engineer*; to require agents to pre vent Iresspaaises and repair injuries; to make silo and receive bids for the sale of Ibe Road, • and tg submit the same to the next Legislature. ►The with sotne severity on the of Governor.

A, Hail Road upon the table lor the balance ofthe session,was rejected, after a good deal of discus sion. The vote was 39 lo 33. It is nol consid ered probable that ibis Legislature will do any thing further towards Ihe extension ofthe road. Ido not expect tiial the Berrien resolutions and the reports on the state of the republic, will i be aded upon to-morrow, in consequence of the minority report not yet having been printed. Mr. Hibberts bill “lo prohitit the banks of this Stale from establishing agencies at points distant from the place of their location—and individu als from acting as agents for banks of other Slates, will likely come up to-morrow and pass the House. It is understood that his excellency is much displeased, that the Legislature have not carri d out his recommendations ; ami threaten* if th y do not sustain tbe Central Bank before they ad journ, he will convene them immediately after their adjournment—and that if they should still fail to adopt suitable measures —ergo, such as suit his excellency—he will resign hi* office.— Will not the Democracy unite lo avert so serious a public calamity J N.

A Hill, To tie entitled an act to repeal an act, passed December 22J, 1828, to establish a Bank at Milledgeville, lo be known by the name and style ot the Central Bank ot Georgia, and all subsequent acts amendatory of the same. Whereas. The Central Bank of the Stale of Georgia was originally instituted and incorporat ed (or the purpose of lending to the people of said State, the surplus fund ofthe Commonwealth. And whereas, said surplus is now exhausted, and a large balance ol debt crealed against the State, thus depriving her of Ihe ability to assist tbe people by further loans. And furthermore, whereas, the taxing of one portion of the people lo lend to another, while it uoes not increase Ihe wealth of the community, operates most unjustly on that large class who a.-k no pecuniary aid from the Slate, but who are ready and willing to be taxed in fair propor tion for all the legitimate purposes of Govern ment. Sec. 1. Be it therefore enacted by ihe Sen ate and House of Representatives of Georgia in General Assembly met. and it is hereby enact ed by the authority of the same , That the act, (assented to Dec. 22d, 1838.) to establish a bank at Milledgeville lo be known by ihe name and slyle ofthe Central Bank of Georgia, and all sub sequent acls amendatory of the same, be and the same are hereby repealed.

That no debtor of the Centra! Bank shall diaw interest upon any bill of said institution, which he may tender in redaction at payment of his debt to said institu tion. > Sec. 4.

The memorial on this subject which Wis forwarded at the last session, and re ferred to jommitters of each House, will be again pressed ipon their attention.

Acsis-Hse, ißth ISotr;, 1812. * ■ The unoe*sgned take the liberty to enclose you a copy of the letter which accompanied the trans mission of the memorial of the planters and in habitants of Florida to Congress, at its last ses sion, on the subject of their losses by the late In dian war, and request your attention to, and favorable consideration of the Earns. We ask, it will be perceived, for the establishment of a uni form mode of settlement and compensation for all losses by Indian depredations, and for the or ganization of a commission to sit in Florida, and to adjudicate in the first instance, from ac tual testimony before it — its decision to be sub ject Id final revision by the proper Department in Washington. By this course we conceive that equal justice will be done to all the sufferers without invidious preferences, or partial lrgi.-la tion in favor of particular individuals, whose claims are not more meritorious or urgent than those of the great body of other more obscure but not less wotlhy claimants upon the justice of the Government. We think it essential to a due estimate of the justice of these claims, that the peculiar nature of Indian warfare and the principles by which it is governed, should alwys be borne in mind, inas much, us the p-esence of a military force at tiny point—so far from ihvithig— averts attack : the hostilities of the lurking savage being invariably divciied trom such points, and directed exclusive ly against the more weak and defenceless settle ments, It will be seen fi-m ibis, that no prefer ences are due le those who may at any time have enjoyed the advantage of a military defence—us their places were never attacked until after they were deserted; by which their possessors were placed on the tame fooling and only shared the same fate, which betel the rest of their fellow citizens who were without military protection, and therefore at all times exposed to the inroads ol the Indians.-’ We aie, Ac.

An eight days old cat was kept underwater till alt motion ceased,when the ani mal vas taken out; the tongue protruded from the noulh and was covered with froth.
