The Immense Value of Cotf on Man ufactures to Grjail Britain. The following factf, n ot theories, as to the prodigious value to Great Blitam of her cotton manufactures, seem to be worth looking at, practically, as a man would look at what his neighbor was do ing to greater advantage than himself, and out of the very materials which he was furnishing to that neighbor.

The tacts are these : if cotton yarn in Eng- Pounds.

A Historical Sketch. The Aztecs of whom we have heard so much, were a tribe living, in the year 1160, in Aztian, a country situated to the north of the California gulf. It was about this period they crossed the Itio Colorado, at a point, as we learn from a work, now before us, beyond 35 degrees North latitude. They moved on to the river Gila and remained there some time, and the evidence of the fact strengthened by the existence of exten sive ruins on the banks of the river.— Thus it appears the Aztecs in their mi ration must have crossed the route now raveled between Santa Fe and Puebla de los Angelos. According to Humboldt, the Aztecs arrived in Mexico about the year 1196, where they had been preceded by the Chicimecs, Nahuallacs, and Acolhuans, with whom they affiliated and from whom sprung a people, retaining their peculiarities, and finally exercising the prerogatives of empire. The Aztecs were very peculiar in their social and political character. They at first were ruled by an oligarchy consisting of twen ty of their most distinguished men, and this mode of government continued til 1352, when a king was chosen. the letters b, d, f, g and v, but it was copious, resembling the German in one particular, the facility of compounding words even to the extent of sixteen syl lables, and the Italian, in its use of di minutive. fi John II. Harper, * Who was indicted for the murder of W. W. Meredith, at Independence, Jackson county, Mo., and who got a change of venue to Platte, was brought before our Circuit Court on last Mon day for trial. In consequence of the ab sence of Gol.

The Merchants* Magazine has an in teresting memoir of tlio late Gideon Lee, among several anecdotos in which is the following illustration of his own fair dealings, and the usual resalts of trick ery in trade: - No man moro thoroughly despised dishonesty than Mr. Lee, and be used to remark, ** No trade can be sound that is not beneficial to both parlies, tbe buyer and the seller.

Read the following addressed to the Rochester agents Messrs Poa’- & Willis—Gents: It is with no ordinary feelings of pleasure that I am enabled to inform you of the cure I have experienced by the use of Dr Upham’s Vegetable Pile Electuary, which 1 obtained from you in case of Piles with which I have been afflicted. My sufferings have been almost beyond sndutance, and cannot be known or imagined, only by those who hi experienced like afflictions. Having been so long and sorely afflicted, I am duced to address you, that through you I labor of discharging, carting, dock dues, warehouse rent, fire insurance, mending’ bags, &c.; freight, carting, &c. to the manufacturing places, and onward through all the process of manufacture and finish, with costs of cases, nails, pa per, &c., and reconveyance back again in goods to the shipping ports, and con cluding with the charges of the shipment of the manufactured cottons. One can hardly conceive of the multitudes in Great Britain whom a bale of cotton helps to support or enrich, in one form or another, from the day of its arrival to that of its reshipment to a foreign port, in the various forms of its manufacture. Now, tbe declared value of the foregoing exports, as given us by the custom-house returns ol Great Britain, is the enormous sum of $112^684,516 80 From which, deducting the cost of the cotton, os above stated,$35,429,174 20 And cost of various arti cles consumed in the dy ing, dressing, finishing, Sic. of the doth, which, ■with fuel, &c. 8,000,000 00 43,429,174 20 ighbors the truly wondi Elaetuary, which I shall ; find it beneficial ’ «*A*t’" ** eet W ‘^ e * The great Pagan lempli v " which stood on the site of the present Cathedral, was also his work. The Montezuma who was emperor at the time of the invasion of the Spaniards, was equally celebrated. He was tjie last of his kingly race, and having failed to expel the invaders, or return the af fection of his people, tore off the ban dages from his wounds, and sought in death a release from his sorrows and mortification. His nephew and son-in* law Gualemozin defended his crown for three months, but was overcome and executed by his conqueror, the remorse less Cortes. The Aztecs were a martial race, and in a series of wars conquered territito- ries containing 18,000 square leagues. 4 The jurisprudence of these people was simple, but in criminal cases their punishments were severe.

Mr. Wil- madc a very feeling and appropri ate speech in defence of the accused, and was followed by Mr. Woodson, of Independence, whose remarks, in the defence, were considered as able and to the point. Col. Doniphan concluded the defence in one of the ablest speech es ever made in the Circuit, which was listened to with more than ordinary in terest. When he took his scat a general stamping was heard all over the court room, and the court had to interpose to keep order. Mr. Jones made a long and excellent argument on the part of the State, when the case was submitted to the Jury. The Jury returned in about fire minutes with a verdict of NOT GUILTY! Mr. Harper was taken, triumph, by the crowd to Green’s Hotel where his aged and respected father, his wife and sister awaited and embrac ed him in the most affectionate manner. When Court adjourned a spontaneous meeting of citizens convened at the court Itouso, and were addressed m a very chaste and appropriate-speech by Mr. Harper, who returned thanks to the cit izens of Platte, and the jury, for the just and impartial trial they had given him, and for restoring happiness to his. gray haired father and mother, his wife, sis ter and friends. He was frequently in terrupted by loud and deafening cheers. After Mr. Harper had concluded, the meeting was addressed by Mr. Archer^ of Buchanan, Capt. Reid, of Saline, Messrs. Bradford, Bird and Pitt, in elo quent and thrilling remarks. proper to state that the Hon. S.

Fifteen years afterwards, he walked into .Mr. Lee’s office, who* at that instant, on seeing him exclaim ed, You have violated your word, pay for the goat-ski us!” Ob P* said the man, ** 1 have been very unfortunate since I saw you, and quite poor.” 1 Yes,” said Mr. Lee. “and you will always be so; that miserable desire to r-reach others must keep you so.** _______ 'time-keepers, .

There was a curious exception to this law in the case of those of either sex who became intoxicated after the age of seventy years.. .They were allowed en tire impunity'fortheir drunkenness. There were no lawyers among the Aztecs. Of that refinement of modern times they happily were ignorant. Tbe lands were divided between the king, nobles, priests and people. The nobility, whose influence controlled the choice of a sovereign, owned their share fully, freely and absolutely. The king, priests and people were‘merely usu- fr^etuarie.s. , There were lands held in common, and cultivated in common, somewhat on the 'plan’ of the Tribune, and the produce placed in storehouses was distributed to the people according to their necessities. Nevertheless, there was occasionally a famine in all the land. /Slavery existed with this peculi arity ,/iji/U the children of slaves were always free.' • - T)ie religion ef these people was a mixture of sentiment and brutality.— They worshipped an immaterial Su preme Being, whom they called Teotl, and believed in the existence of an Evil Spirit, with'the unpronounceable name of TJlhcatecololotl.

Vera Cruz is the great commercial port of Mexico. In former days, under the Spanish crown, its trade was im mense. The New Orleans Bulletin con tains some statements in relation to it, which were obtained from official re cords at Havana. From these it ap pears that the exports from Vera Cruz in the year 1818 amounted to a total, of $46,774,240, of which $21,774,240 were by individuals, and $25,000,000 by the Government authorities; and the coin age of the same year amounted to the enormous sutn of $26,000,000. That same year there were upon the road between Mexico and Vera Cruz the vast number of over fifty-four thousand mules engaged in the transport of the different products of the country, of which specie formed the principal item. To Havana, alone, twenty-seven thou sand barrels of Mexican ground flour found its way, and was there used in preference to that received from the mother country; and it appears that had not the course of trade been changed by the troubles of the two nations, to Cuba within the last two years, would have drawn her supply of breadsluffs from Vera Cruz.
