In au article on •* \f odero Egypt, w
mention is made of Egyptian cotton,
as follows:—“A product of the very j
firt importance to the commerce i
ad manufactures of England has |
recently been raised in Egypt, and i
to such an extraordinary extent, as
to have surprised all expectation.
We allude to cotton tvool , not of the
usual ooarse kind hitherto grown in
Egypt, but jf a very superior qual
ity raised from Brazil seed The
first essay was made by order of the
Pasha, in the ycaf 1822, when the
crop yielded abou ; 25.000 bags, of 1
2 ewt eaeh. A few bags of this !
cotton sent to Liverpool od trial, 1
were sold at the rate of from li to
13 pence per pound. Some tbous- !
and bales have, i<i the interval, been
sent to France, Italy, and the South
of Germany. In 1823, the crop
was so abundant, that, after sup
plying the demands of the countries
bordering on the Mediterranean,
it is calculated that at least 50.000
bags may be exported to England
in the course ot Ihe present year; }
and the Pasha is still extending (be
culture of this useful plant, on |
tracts of ccuutry long neglected, by ‘
clearing out the ancient channels
