On the 18th ult., In the British House of Commons,
Mr. IintouT moved uu address to tlie Crown, to op
point a commission to proceed to India, to inquire
into the obstacles which prevent an increased growth
of Cotton in that country. Ilo began by showing
the importance of the object, to insure.an adequate
supply of the raw material lor the English Cotton
manufacturers, who, he said, employ 2,000,000 of the
population, and an amount of capital much greater
thun was embarked in any other manufacturing trade
in the United Kingdom, and which produces the larg-
.eet proportion of its exports. We quote the follow
ing extract from his remarks, as they possess inter
est in their reference to this country :
The amount of raw cytton imported in 1800, was
56,000,000 pounds ; in 1849 it hud increased to 754,-
000,000 pounds. Our supply was from the following
scourers, and the 'following portion : The United
Htutes 78} percent ; tiro British possessions in lndiu
104 percent; Egypt 3} per cent; und the British West
Indies 4 per cent, 'ibecroppf the United States
was liable to great fluctuations,[causing much loss to
operatives ns well jk manufacturers, while the con
sumption of cottoiAra tire continent of Europe and
America was rapidly increasing, apparently, beyond
thopower.of production ; and uu advance of Id per
pound on raw cottuu would amount to £3,(M),(Mill
sterling. Such an increase of cost of ruw materia!
tended to limit consumption, and involve the trade in
embarrassment.
Auother consideration was, that the American cot
ton was the product of slave labor und if, from any
cause slavery should lie abolished in the United States
the cultivation of cotton would be greatly inter
fered with. In these circumstances, there being no
present prospect, of au adequate supply from our Af
rican, Australian, or West Indian colonies, it was
natural to turn to British India, and there were valid
reasons for so doing, iudiu had alwuys grown cut-
ton, and at this time the quuutity raised there wus
not fur short of the whole produce of the Uniied Stutes.
The soil was adapted aud the people liabituuted
to its cultivation.—from 1788 to the present time,
the East lndiu Company had bestoweu their atten
tion upon lndiuu cotton, sending out clcuniug ma-
Chios, gins, and American planters; they had establish
ed experimental farms, and hud expended in their en
deavors to promote the growth of cotton not less
than *100,000.
In reply to Mr. Bright, Sir J. Hobhousc said dfehe
very much ^doubted whether sucli an ndtlWRud
quantity of cotton, and of such an improved kind,
ever would be brought from ludiijj®^ would enable
it to compete with America. Dr.
nines of cotton produced in ludi
the shortness ot its staple and its
tain a competition with American. Besides
000,500 of natives were clothed with cotton, und alter
they were supplied, the surplus was not likely to be
very great. ,
Af ter some further debate tho motion was ne
ed.
Radicals flustuinei tho following resolution by
way wo suppose of giving varity to tbair procedings:
Resolved, therefore, that a memberot thei Liberty
party ran no uiorft belong to the unprincipled New

New Book of Poems.
Mr. J. M, Cooper has now in press in New-York
a volume entitled “Tallulah anti Other Poems" from
the pen of our gifted friend, Judge llENiiY R. Jack
son. We have been favored with a perusal of tho
proof-sheets of "Tallulah." It is a poem of consider
able length, in tile Spenserian stanza, ami is a highly
imaginative and finished production—such as would
gain for its author tho reputation of a graceful nnd
accomplished writer, hud not his fugitive pieces,
(which have hud such general currency in the maga
zines and newspapers of the country,) already mado
him favorably known to tiie public. The collection
embraces most of his minor poems, and will be high
ly prized by all who have u tusto for true poetry, hut
more e-peciully by those who have learned to admire
his local pieces, and would have them in a collected
form for preservation.
The book will slnflitly be published.
We ?i\(|. that several of the papers are urging
the holding ot a mass meetineof the people of Geor
gia, at Macon, on the 22d of Mjjhist, to ratify the pro
ceedings of tire Nashville ConTmtion.

base of Patrick Markey, who was ntt^^Ped to bo
murdered some nights since, in the neighorhood ot
Annunciation squure, by pouring molten lead into his
ear, and anys : , ,
.This reminds ritqgbi n singular incident that occur
red, within my dwn knowledge, some years ago, in
Virginia. Col. T., a gentleman of great" respectabil
ity, olid frequently high sheriti and representative of
the county, died, leaving a wife and several children,
among them a very beautiful daughter, ahput ititf% n
years of ago. Tho widow, finding herself embarrass-
od, opened u bourding house at the county site, mul-
•mong hor boarders was a Mr. W„ a wealthy mer
chant, over forty years, but a very fine looking man.
This gentleman was the pr.uljt anil stay of the family,
gave employment to the son«, educated the daughter
ut a “fhahiunablo academy,” and, very naturally, on
lier return, fell desperately in love with her, when
toe should nave preferred the mother.
He pressed his suit With perseverance, but the
beuuutul Mildred resisted his appeals, and the impor
tunities of all her friends. EinuUy, however, after
two years of assiduity and delicate gallantry on the
part ot Mr. W., and me combined tears, entreaties,
threats and persecution of her family, tho fnir girl
reluctantly stood 'before the a'tar and became his
wife. The next evening a largo pat ty whs given
them, but in tho midst ol it Mr. VV., being attacked
with vertigo and sick headsfche, was compelled to
withdraw. His youug wife liung over him in tho si
lent watches of the flight, apparently in deep distress,
and insisted on giving him'a portion; she poured out a
wind-glass full of laudanum, and lie swallowed it un
conscious of its nature. it acted ns on emetic, but
left him stupid und wandering. His senses reeled.
One moment he lay motionless as if on tho brink of
tile spirit world,-and the next lie would leap up con
vulsively, a strongman in bis agony. Mrs. W. deni
ed all admission into the chamber.
At length lie fell into a deep sleep. She then
stooped lor 0-moment over tho mouldering embers
-Lupproached tho bed—gazed at her sleeping hus
band—and, hulding a heated ladle in her huud, at
lompted to pour u stream of melted lead in his ear !
She trembled and tho hissing liquid intended to scald
the brain, and thus kill without a truce, fell upon his
cheek. He shrieked in excruciating torture, and the
revellers in tho adjoining saloon, rushed into the
chamber. There writhed the still stupid husband,
the lead riveted deep into his cheek, and there stood
the fiend wile, her bridal fillets yet upon her brow,
the Instrument of death in her hand, and nn fcmpty
vial, labelled laudanum, laying on the tloor. ’1 lie
fearful reality of the ease Hashed upon every one,
and, in thd confusion of the moment, she was hnr-
hied away, und taken to a distunt State. On search-
nig the apartment an old mnguzino was found con
taining tho confession of a woman, who had mur
dered five husbands by pouring ieud into their ears—
T'Ue laudanum and the lead . it'wus ascertained, she
procured from tlie store of Mr. \V. a few days before
the mari iage, and the ladle waspart of his wedding
.gift. The grand jury next morning Ifcund a bill
against the fugitive, and the. leai-luture, beiug in ses
sion, forthwith (Jeerivd an absolute divorce.
What renders this case more extraordinary is,
that Miss T. was proverbial for the blonduess of her
inauners, and uniform sweetness of disposition. .She
was a blonde. Thu rose leaf tinted her lily cheek,
as a sunbeam glows on snow. Her blue eyes were
Indescribably sweet, arid her golden hair floated
around a form more perfect and voluptuous than ever

The Nicaragua Treaty*
Speaking of the treuty which has recently been rat
ified between tl^pcoutitry and Great Britain in refer
ence to the contemplated ship canal to connect the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans, by way of the river San
Juan de Nicaragua, the Rational Intelligencer soys:
It may be remarked -that nil the States of Central
America, comprehending the immense extent of
country from the jBalize, commonly called the Bay
of Honduras, down to the northern boundary of New
Granada, is made neutral territory. Ny Government
entering into this treuty can occupy, colonize, fortify
or assume or exercise any dominion over any part of
the Mosquito coast or any part of Central America,
from the boundaries of the Bay of Honduras and
Mexico on the north to those of New Granada on the
South. The British title to the Balizethe treaty does
not in any manner recognise; nor does it deny it, or
meddle with it. That settlement remains, in thut par
ticular, as it stood p’eviously to the treaty.
This treaty, which has been very erroneously call
ed the “Nicaragua treaty,’’ does not extend merely
to the State of Nicaragua, nor does it more cover
with neutrality that territory than the other four
Central American Republics of Honduras. Guatema
la San Sa^padore ami Coda Rica. The same inter
national guaranties of protection which it provides
for tho canal at Nicaragua, it equally offers to every
other line of communication, whether by the canal
or railroad, that cuJbc constructed utiTehuantepec,
Panama, or any otnwplace on the whole Isthmus,
whether within the limits of Mexico, Central Ameri
ca or New Granada. The united protection of the
great maratime powers contemplated by this treaty
to the Nicaragua or other cunals, will of course* bo
the means of saving to all powers which may be
come parties to it, tho cost of maintaining large nnd
expensive naval armaments to guard their interests
in transit through these highways. And the clause
which exempts vessels passing through tlie Nicara
gua cabal (and any others which may be construct
ed) from capture, detentions, and blockade, present
a new feature of itself of so much interest and con
sequence, as in connection with other provisions, to
| mark the conclusion of this treaty us an era in the
history of international compacts.
While we are not disposed to underrate the im
portant commercial advantages which must result
from the opening of the contemplated ship canal be
tween the two oceans, nevertheless, We are inclined
to doubt the policy of involving our government in
international compacts of this sort. We think there
is no good reason why vve should enter into stipula
tions with Great Britain or any oth ‘r European pow
er, pledging our government not to occupy or n .olo-
nize the territories of this continent, which may here
after invite us to do so. England may very well af
ford to make such a stipulation in reference to these
territories, taking good care, however, not to compro
mise her pretended claim to dominion in the Bnlize.
Thus she retaius her foothold there, while shu* ex
cludes us from future occupancy, at the same time
that oj secures to her commerce all the advantages
that are to result from American euterprize and the
employment of American capital. She would be very
loath to make such a treaty respecting the coloniza
tion and occupancy of the territories of India, or any
other country, contiguous to her own dominions;
where her policy niigrr make it desirable for her to
hold the control. It may be that the time will never
come when it will bn necessary for us to assert our
rights in Central America ; but, since the acquisition
of California, und the consequent enlargement of our
commercial relations with those State- 1 , there is no
knowing wlmt necessity may arise. Possessing the
highway between our Atlantic nud Pacific States, it
will be in their power, if it should become their pol
icy, to give us serious annoyance. In such a case,
with such a treaty in existence, binding us to u spe
cies of perpetual noninterference, what recourse
would bo left us, especially when it would be the in
terest ol the Europeun parties to the coptruct to act
in concert with the Central American governments?
We think the true policy of our government is to
keep clear of all entanglements with tlie governments
of Europe, especially in matters relating to our own
continent, aud to pursue our destiny according to our
own dictates, leaving time to dev elope the policy
which should govern us, in our relations with con
tiguous nations. If wo can have a public high-road
to tlie Pacific, free to*all nations, without compromi
sing our independence, very well; but, if it can only
be accomplished by opening the door to European in
terference with the international affairs of this conti
nent, why, let us make a road nearer home, which
we can protect on our own soil, ami let the balance
of the world go round the Horn, as heretofore.

“And eh*—in spite of nature,
Of years, of country, credit, everything—
To fall in love with whnfahe fenred to look on?
It is a judgment maim’d, atm moat imperfect,
That will confess—perfection so could err,
Against fill ruins of nature, nnd must be driven
To find out practices of cunning hell,
Why this should be.”
A most exciting abduction case has just been deter
mined in the New Orleans District Court. The per
son abducted ia represented to be a beautiful young la
dy between fifteen and sixteen years of age, a native
of Pdlandi and the abductor is amulutto or quadroon
of sonic wealth, who has a wife aud children. The
girl came to this country a few years since to liv&
with her married sisters in New Orleans, leaving her
mother in Poland. The mulatto. Joubert, has bee if
in the habit of accosting her when he met her with
her sisters in tho market, and of seeking every op
portunity of holding conversation with her, against
which she was timely and earnestly admonished by
her relatives, on the ground that the man had African
blood and was married.
These remonstrances, however, it seems were una
vailing, and a few days since the fair Dttdemona lied
from her home, und placed herself under tlie protec
tion of her doting Othelo, who secreted her/for sever
al days, nnd only surrendered her ill obedience to a
writ of habeus corpus, sued out by her outrugod fam
ily. The family of the young lady, n3 she is called
in the New Orleans papers, arc represented as being
intelligent and respectable, and their mortification
nnd grief at the disgrace which has been brought up
on them was touchingly manifested on the trial.
After the arrest and imprisonment of Joubert, the
girl whose name is Rebecca Bernst»in, was given
up by his accomplices, and was brought into court;—
Her brother-i^lnw having established her minority,
was appointeJPy the Court hot tutor ad hoc, and the
Sheriff was directed to deliver her into his guardian
ship and protection.
While the Judge was delivering tlie order of the
Court to the Clerk, the girl shook her head, and mut
tered some words of determination not to obejy, re
pulsing ut the same time the overtures that were
made by some of her family.
Judge Larue turned towards her, nnd in a very
solemn and earnest manner, addressed some words of
impressive caution aud advice to her, to go with her
flmiily and snatch herself from ruin and infamy whilst
she could.
Rebecca Bernstein rose, and in a very emphatic
manner, remarked :
“ I would sooner die thflkro home to my family.”
Judge Larue: Miss, yolTlmd better die than con
tinue the connection of disgrace and infamy from
which ypu have been snatched by the order of tlie
Court. You will not be permitted to pursue your
owji will in tiiis matter. The cause of good morals
requires me to interfere, aud I do interfere in an or
der which I will not permit you to disobey; that
you go with H. Kowalesky, and live with him, aud
demean yourself with propriety and obedience to his
control.
Mr. Walker, attorney for tho plaintiff, begged to
add, by way of enforcing the decree of tho Court,
that ns the girl had repelled all the advances of her
family, he was authorized by them to assure her,
that the would bereceived by them with affection
and kindness, thu^||> allusion would lie made to her
past error, that afrher reasonable wants would be
gratified, and that if she desired it, hor expenses would
b§ paid, to carry her home to her mother iu Europe,
or to her brothers in California. Such they were
willing, they would be happy to do lor her. They
felt for her a tender affection,—an overwhelming
anxiety to snatch her, and with her the mime of her
family from intauiy. On the other hand, they were
determined she should not bring disgrace upon her
kindred and her race—-ruin upon herself, and infamy
upon her ftunily, by continuing her Unhallowed and
blasting connection with the individual who hud se
duced her from the path of duty aud virtue. Her
family would eniplhy all the power of the law to
restrain her from such impropriety.
Judge Larue: The order of the Court must be obey -
ed. Mr. Sheriff’, deliver Rebecca Bernstein into the
charge of lier tutor.
Tlie Court was then adjourned, and the rebellious
fair one left in charge of the sheriff’, who handed her
into a carriage iu which her tutor was seated. As
soon as she found herself in the same carriage with
Mr. Kowalesky, she made violent efforts to get out and
raised ncry for help, but the carriage was driven rapid
ly oft', nnd her cries soon died away in the distance.
The excitement in tho Court room was intense, and
it was feared that the mob would commit violence
upon the mongrel rascal, who was released from
prison where he had been confined on iheuppearancc
of his victim in Court.
Thus says the Delta closed one of the most remark
able cases which has occurred in our courts for some
time. A white girl of respectable family, lair, intelli
gent, and good qflucation, is decoyed from her
near relatives nnd friends by a free man of color—is
infatuated by his wiles and deceptions, so as to be in
duced to repudiate her own race and family, and col
league with a hearties*und designing colored man.
And yet, for such a case, the law provides no punish
ment—no redress! This individual too, is, we under
stand, a married man, in which respect ho perpetra
ted a double <®cption, by representing himself us
unmarried, as well as white. This cuseis certainly
Hsupprising one to occur in the city of New Orleans.
Wo hope never to see its repetition.

Something Curious—Weight of Cottnu.
We are requested to euquire of our Savannah co-
temporarie*, Imw it if, that cotton purchased and re-
weighed in Macon, on bring sent to Savannah und
there weighed n third time, tails short from 15 to :)U
ttis. per bale, ot the weight Which is marked against
it how; ! Such, we are assured, is the fact, and
that occasionally their is a difference of 50 tbs in tlie
Savannah and Macon weights of a bale of cotton I
Now this, naturally excitea curiousity. as to the mod us
opernndi of tho thing, and the cotton men of Macon
wish to know the why and the wherefore, of this dis
crimination against them. They feel unwilling to
think harshly of any one, ami decline making any
insimiotidns—nevorthe less, they would like that u
remedy lor the evil be discovered and applied, im
mediately, il not sooner.
We find the above in the Macon Ci then. The ar
ticle Is calculated to leave tho inference that injus
tice is done to the Macon cotton deuler in our mar
ket To relieve tlie editor’s mind o f any such im
pression, we need only inform him that cotton is
weighed iu Savannah, not by tlie buy er nor by 11 eity
weighers," aa is tho practice in some .markets,
but by tho seller, whose interest and duty it is
to see that most exact justice is done to his con
signor.
buyer is dissatisfied with tlie close weignt,
but we think we may safely say that there is no cot
ton market in the Union in which the system of
weighing is fairer for the seller, or where the busi
ness of the cotton trada is transacted on more lib
eral, just and honorable principles than it is in Sa
vannah.
That slight discrepancies do occur in tho weights
of cotton between the interior nnd senboard*narkets
is very true, but where they arise from error, it is
quite us likely that the mistake should occur with the
first as the last weigher. All who are acquainted witli
the cotton business know that the weight is materi
ally affected by .evaphration and various other natur
al causes. This is proven by a comparison of our
Southern weights witli those of the Northern or Eng
lish markets. A bale of cotton, green from the field,
or when exp osed to the weather, will not hold its
weight after a long storage and transit in rail road
cars, especially, at this season of the year.—
We apprehend the editor is mistaken when he
speaks of the “re-weighing" for the third time. It is
hardly to lie expected that the weights in our market
now will tally with the original weights when tho
cotton was recived from the plantation for, storage
iu his market; but we are very confident that it the
Macoif dealer will mark the true re-weight on his
bales at tlie time of forwarding, ho will find that it
will be fully sustained by the weights here';

Cotton Crop in Mississippi. A letter in the
New Orleans Picayune dated Washington, Miss.,
July 10th, gives a very unfavorable account ot the
growing cotton in that region. The writer says:
We have had between three and four weeks of in
cessant rains ; the plant has continued to die out
more rapidly than before, leavmg etill wider gaps :
whilst tlie portion that had a healthy growth has
“run the weed,” ns vve term it; and the “middles”
arc in a more grassy state than I have ever seen them.
During a drive t<» Oakland College, in Claiborn coun
ty. and back, two days ago, passing some of the best
conducted plantations in the State, 1 saw but two or
three fair crops of cotton. Some fields looked more
like corn than cotton fields, from tlie quantity of the
former planted in the missing places. In fact many
fields came up to the old planter’s description of his
crop—“fine crops of grass, somewhat infested with
cotton.”

The correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin
relates the following anecdote which came under bis
own observation aud which serves to illustrate the
simple, Utiussuniiug character of tlie late President
A glazier aud painter, well known iu this city to the
resident population, was one morning pacing
through the Presidential grounds, and having never
seen the General, was of course ignorant of nis per
son. However, while in the act ol pussing the por
tals of the eastern wicket gates, lie encountered u
plainly dressed gentleman, who, intently gazing upon
tlie garden belonging to the Executive Mansion, did
not observe the approach of the painter until he had
rudely come in contact with him, “ where the
ure your eyes!” exclaimed the latter in a paksion.
“ Can’t you see where youT going ?” “ Pardon me,”
responded the unconscious intruder; “hut tlie fact
is,” lie added with a good humored smile, “ 1 was
wondering whether the garden to ere was us forward
as other gardens in the city, and did not notice your
proximity until l had encountered you.” “ Umph!”
observed the painter ; “ do you suppose the garden
of a President would look as fine as our common
gardens ? 1 rather think not.” *• 1 do not see why,”
continued the strange gentleman, “/or 1 work it my.
self and take the best care of it," “ Oil, then you arc
the old fellow's gardener, are you t” inquired tho
painter. “ Now toll me, is he as surly as people tuy
of him ? I should like to see the old codgeo.” “ Well,
my friend.” remarked the interrogated, m the same

never stopping until he was lur enough from the
scene of introduction. The General enjoyed the
joke hugely ; but ever after contended, that tlie pain
ter would make a bad soldier.
His simplicity of character, remarks the writer,hud
long previously passed into u proverb, and this was
but another exemplification of it. In his domestic
habits he was equally free from those rigid forms of
established discipline that mark the social schools of
i ur duy, but vyhich wore unknown forty years ago.
He enacted the rational man, und avoided those
frivolous and absurd innovations as tending to rob life
of half Its happiness. These unaffected traits surround
ed him tfith an enchanting something, which, while it
struck as peculiar to tlie eye only increased, not our re-
apect solely, but our love, for the man. His humanity
also soared above reproach—us lofty as his heart was
generous.
