(Cultivation or Cotton In Algeria. Pauls, October 20,1853. Knowing how Important the subject la, and how interesting to many of your subscribers sod to Intel- lenuly throughout tho United States, * t tae ligent men genei_._ w . cannot doubt that the following report, long oa it Is, upon tho long stapU (sea island) cotton of Algeria, itsoulturo, prospects, qualities, and value to manu facturers, wUl prove as acceptable to your columns as any thing 1 could send you. The article is from the pen of Mr. Edmund Cox, tho owner of largo spin ning mills near Lille, In the north of France. It was Mr. Cox who introduced into Algeria tho culture of this species of cotton, and who sent to the great ex hibition of London the remarkable specimens of sim ple twisted threads obtained from cotton produced in Algeria In 1850. This report Is addressed by Mr. C. to MarshalSU Arnaud, the Minister or War. and I And it published in tho Moniteur of tho 15th instant. The peport says: “ Algeria, ft would seem, haa good cause to con gratulate itself on having undertaken tho culture of Georgia long staple cottons, tho production of which haa hitherto been the almost exclusive monopoly or the American planters or Oeorgla and South Carolina. It appears to be now perfectly demonstrated that this rich and interesting cnlture is capable of becoming one ot the moat profitable elements of Algerian pro ductions, It results in fact form experiments and comparisons which I have been enabled to make dur ing the last three years upon Algerian long staples produced from good American seeds, planted in suit able localities; that the species, so far from degene rating, acquires beneath an African sun strength, en ergy and ductility, with every appearance of tlm best American types; that, in aword.it offers all the con ditions required for the Bpiuning of high numbers, 850 !U. in outer worua, tod the bad had not been mingled and if the ginning had been better perform.-- ... ertheleai, I desire it to be particularly understood that, notwithstanding tho mixtures and the defeats last mentioned, tho fine species or Oeorgla long sta ple ootton which I introduced into Algeria atill there in all its original perfection $ as I convinced myself of by the existence or oortaln layers oontained in the five bags. The essential matter Is to separate It from tho ordinary apeciea, and to encourage Itaoul- tore as much aapoealble. To oomplete ray account of the experiments mado under my directions with tho cottons contained in tho five bags. I will now state what thoy produced In spinning. The bags markod 10 could only reach the No. 80 mm., with a waste ot 35 per 100 more than or dinary. because of tho tearing of the staple. The third obtained not being handsome as a aim pie thread, wo were obliged to twist it and thou sell it us a thread of whiohtho raw material was only worth 2 francs tho kilogram. Tho bags marked 6, 7, 11, from the province of Algiers yielded in spinning a better thread : and bag markcd8, irom tho province or Oran, farm of ArbpI, was purchased up to Nos. 120 mm.and 140 mm., and yielded a handsomo thread. This cot ton, if more homogeneous and better ginned, might tasabeen spun up to No. 300 tnm. Now, I must con- feWtHi. » „„(* mnt j flPAt elv nloased with tho -re- Hill ll„. A d obtaiu- them with the magnificent spun cottons I had od la 1851 from tbo growth oftho previous year in the Central Nursory, which at tho great Exhibition in London attracted the attention of connoisseurs, and which I shall place In the permanent exposition of Algerian products which bos Just been opened at tho Ministry of War in Paris. My regrets were mingled with rears lest tho superior seeds which I bad given were lost or mixed with other seeds of less valuable species. Since then I have become reassured upon examining tho superb Georgia long staple cottons growth iu 1852 by Mr. Godby.of Blidub, as well from my seeds which he had procured from tho Central Nursery, as from American seed procured at tho Lon don Exhibition. The first ofthoso grains was repre sented by two samples of the crops of 1851 and 1852. That ot 1851 resembles closely tho Georgia Sea Is land ootton grown at the Central Nursery in 1850, but its wool is irregular and knotty, (6ouftmiica.tr,) caused perhaps by the quality oftho soil, and by climuteric circumstances occurring during tho growth C» the plant. The ginning is well done, and the cotton is os clean and white os could bo desired. This cotton may be classed among the fine curreut qualities, and esti mated, according to the current prices this year, 7 fr. 60 c. the kilogram, (G3 8|10 cents per lb.) • The sam ple from the same seed, gathered in 1852, (that is to say the third year of its introduction into Algeria,) presents itself with more satisfactory n p pen ranees.— The cotton is still rather irregular, but it i9 nut knot- tv. This is an important point gained. It denotes that the plant is accommodating itself to the soil. It Is, in a word, a handsomo Georgia long stuple cotton, and may bo classed among the first quality fine cot tons, or very fine ; and I value it, according to the current prices this year, at 9 francs the kilogram. (70£ cents per lb.) lJut what elicited my special ad miration was the cotton gathered in 1852 by M.Uodhv from seeds procured at the London Exhibition. This cotton compares, for beauty. for fineness, and strength of staple, with tho extra fine long staple Sea Island cottons of America. This cotton,of tho same fami y with that of which I procured tho seed, and which therefore strongly re sembles tho cotton grown at tho Central Nursery in 1850, will like that attain in spinning the very highest Nos. employed in the tulle and lace factories, and for the fine and costly tissues. It is a- precious type, the which serve for the manufacture of tho laces, tulles, „ . . and the beautiful tissues from the factories or Tarare, culture or which should bo encouraged in an cxccp- *•*“■•* * *’ * ilist' " tionnl manner, and which should enlist for its preser vation and propagation the solicitude of planters and of tho Administration. I have estimated this superb sample, rumarable alike for tho cure und the delicacy with which it has been ginned, ut Ilf. 50 kilo. (074 cents per lb.) uccording to the actual current prices In Havre. I am told that Mr. Godby is planting this ycur 2 hectares, 5 acres, of this cotton, and that his Held looks remarkably well. 1 must strongly recom mend tills planter to gin his cotton us he did last year, carefully picking out the defective bolls. Even plied me with seeds, and 1 therefore valued it at U though this process should require much time, he will franca tho kilogramme, (63 cents per Ib.avoirdupois.) find it to his account in so doing; for if the prices keep np. as there Is every prospect of their doing, lie will be largely compensated for bis trouble. I earn estly recommend ulso the other planters who have cultivated, I am osured, this year some two or three hundred hectares in Georgia long staple cotton, to carefully gather the bolls as they open, and to pay ( (articular attention to the ginning. When the seed s good and the crop well gathered, everything de pends upon the ginning. I have also been shown a new samplo of sea island cotton grown in 1852 on tho farm or Arbai, the third year ot the introduction of the seed into Algeria.—- This cotton, produced from my lino seed, is distin guished by its long regular staple, nnmixed with any secondary type. It is in all respects similar to the sample which the director ot the farm had remitted to me. It may be classed among the extra lino long staple cottons, and valued at 11 francs tho kilo. (93 4-10 ccuts per ib.) It Is to be regretted that the crop of the farm of Arbai was mixed with the other long staple cottons grown iu the province of Oran ; for clearly the former separately would have commanded more than G francs the kilogram. Finally, I examiued a sort of bastard long stnple, gathered in 1852, the third gathering of the mouth of December, by Mr. Solm, at Aboukir, near Mosta- garetu. Tills cotton, ot inferior quality, short and weuk staple, comes doubtless from a bad seed. It resembles somewhat the very ordinary long staple cotton which 1 found in the bags of the provinces ot Algiers, and also with the mixed cottons of tho farm of Arbai. According to current prices, it can only bo valued nt 3f. 23c. per kilo.; mid iu ordinury times it.would not bring more than two francs. It Is easily comprehended how a cotton like that, mixed with extra tine cottons, should produce a detestable aver age ; and I attribute to tills mixture, added to tho bad ginning to which it was subjected, the inferior quali ty of the five bags that have been sent me this year from Africa. Planters cannot he cautioned too ur gently against such mistakes. They have a deep in terest at stake in this matter. If a given sort is pro duced only in small quantity, pack it separately In a small bag; it will bo Bold with tho seine facility os the larger bugs. Doubtless, Algeria will not be found to produce everywhere extra fino long staple cottons. There, as elsewhere, the finest qualities will form the exception which it must be our endeavor to make as largo os possible. Yet it does seem to be demonstrated that, _ _ thanks to its vicinity to the sea, along an immense era of the provincoof Algiers" At first'sight’these extent of sfea-coost, thanks to its marshy soils impreg- cottons seemed to mo to be of secondary quality; its nated with salt, Algeria is adapted to tiie culture up- shade was dull and Us staple defective.

Every thing has concurred to confirm the hopes which I conceived upon examining in 1850 the speci mens of Georgia sea island cotton grown from seeds which had been famished by me to the Minister of War at the exposition of 1849. The result of that first experiment in long staple cotton was in fact ns favorable as could be desired. The cottou grown in tbe Government nursery at Algiers, under the care of Mr. Hardy, bad preserved the most perfect resem- blanca with the extra fine American cotton that sup plied me with seeds, and 1 therefore valued it at 9 franca the kilogramme, (63 cents per Ib.avoirdupois.) the current price at that date. It would now (4th October, 1853) be worth 11 francs ($2 05 7-10) the kilogramme. According to the desire of tho Minis ter of War, 1 had some of this cotton spun in order to fix exactly its value for manufacture. Ordinarily fine Georgia cottons, especially the high numbers, are not manufactured till they nave remained a year or more In bags. This gives thorn a greater supple ness and ductility for spinning. But, notwithstand ing its extreme want of ago, I obtained from tho At- S n long staple, grown in 1850, most beautiful ur- . to wit: simple threads from the numbers 200 and230 np to 360, and twisted threads of the numb- ber 400. These articles were exhibited at the Uni versal Exhibition of London, with the fino collection of Algerian cottons, and contributed, I am happy to believe, to establish satisfactorily tho emlnont quali ties for manufacturing purposes possessed by the raw material which had been employed for their produc tion. Every body remembers the magnificent testi monials of approbation which were rendered by the International jury to the Algerian cottons, nnd espe cially to the Bpecies known as the long staple, (sea Island.) I need not, therefore, more particularly re fer to them ; but I think it highly important to mnko known the results of the new comparative examina tions and of the new experiments to which I have subjected the Algerisu cottons of this description.— I shall thus complete, by adding the corroboration of my testimony, tho considerations upon this subject which have already been published, emanating from one of my honorable colleagues in tho spinning busi ness. M. Ferny, of Esonnes. After the early experiments made npon the cottons of the crop ot 18.50, it became important to compare togetber several successive crops, and the cottons ob tained by different planters in different zones of cul ture, in order to ascertain satisfactorily whether tho Georgia long staple was really gained to Algeria and capable of becoming matter of permanent, prac tical, and profitable culture. This comparison I hnve just made by means of samples which imvo been for warded to me, in addition to tho fine bags of the crop of 1832 previously sent me by H., the Director of the Central Nursery at Algiers, und marked Nos. 6, 7,8. 10 and 11. I should remark hero that the cottons oi these five bags were of very various appearances— According to the information received from tho Di rector of the Central Nursery, three of theso *-■“ weighing altogether 536 kilogrammes, (1,183 pounds) contained the sea Island cotton gathered by the plant •find the contents of bag marked No. 10 even inferior In quality to those of the three bags already examined. 1 had to style this bad. However, upon subsequent more caraiul and u rticnlar examination of these four bags, I discovered that an unfortunate mixture had been made of the Georgia long staple with other spe cies, of which it was impossible to determino precise ly the true character. Several layers of the gonuino article appeared here and there in the midst of the confused msss; but it was not the beautiful cotton .which 1850 gave. 1 noticed that it had been very “ '. ginned, t-* 1 -* uu ‘— . badly badly, had ou, and with Iron cylinders. It looked ly, was or a dull shade; its staplo was broken, it lost its strength and nerve. Icansedthcse cot tons to be beaten with a rod, as is usually done with American long staples. Tbls operation causod a gnat quantity of wool to fly, and I was more than over persuaded that they had been torn and injured 1 Ni in the ginning. The Director of the Central Nurse- S » in a report which the Minister of War has comma- rated to me, explains bow the ginning was per formed. He first used wooden oyUndera, but soon — m cylinders, but soon abandoned them, because, says he, they became t “‘* J ' “ o pom* -* " —l and took fire at tho pofnt of insertion. He then resorted to iron cylinders, and these irorked so •attsfactoriiy that be permanently adopted them for Jus gins. I have not to consider here the rapidity of i? # opw** 10 ** ot ginning. I grant that in a given lUM tba Iron cylinders will render a greater amount of fUMd cotton; bat the important question is: How Is U ginned, end how is the quality of the cotton afflicted by the operation? _.How, I'contendtbat the iron cylinders, in contact Wltn toe long staple unginned cotton, and pressing ratut necessarily soil and tenjUE the wooi.

Wooden Cylinders, therefore, appear to be preferable in Ml respects to those of copper or iron. Bat the mode decidedly to be preferred over Ml meoanloal processes is that of separating the seed from the ootton by the band. We tons get a clearer eotepa, more beautiful to the eye, and preserve in original perfection Ml ite admirable natural qoMities. ‘ bolls. These cottons of tbo a ginned by band, are worth . . --iogrammomore than if ginned ginning by band was -w. . _ , Q*ea In America for tne superior qualities ofGeorgia sea islsnd cotton; but production fiaving ooosiderab y Increased more expeditions pro- comes were aongbtior, thousands of inventions were be a god-eend for ths up to tho highest prices. Thus, for instance, in 1853 Franco will purchase from America 7,600 bags of Georgia sea island cotton. This is the amount re quired for French consumption; and it is about one- fourth of the last crop of too United States, which it seems amounted to 32,814 bags, of about 160 kilo., (352 lbs. avoirdupois.) Of these 7,500 bags consum ed in France, 4,000 will belong to tho category of half-fine (mi-fins) cottons, of which tho price runs from 5f„ 5f. 25o., to Of. tho kilo.; 2,800 will bo fine cotton, divided into three series, of which the aver age price will be 8f. the kilo.. (68 cents per lb.;) and 700 bags only will bo extra-fine, worth 9f. 60c.. 10f., Ilf. and 12f. the kilo., (70|. 85,93* cents, $1.02 per ib.) Tills total importation will represent an approx- Imalive value of about eleven millions of francs, ($2,- 057,000.) It would bo well for Algeria to assert some day her claim to a good portion of this annual tribute paid by the metropolitan manufacturing iu forests to foreign producers. The mother county would bo hap py to effect tho substitution; and Algeria would have besides in unimpaired dogreo all tho resources con sisting in tho cultivation of tho other species of short staple cottons.

After nominations are made, and the par. ty nominating is committed to their support, these quiet gentlemen frequently come forward with their unavailing complaints, aud sometimes by disaffection manage to defeat their political friends. One tithe of the etlorta which they put forth, usually without sue. cess, to defeat objectionable nominees, would, if ap plied at tho proper time, havo secured candidates against whom the most critical could allcdgo no valid ground of opposition.

It is not surprising that the au diences do not fall off in numbers, for wo have never scon a company of performers whose faculty for va rying their entertainments, exceeded theirs. It Ib but seldom thnt we go twice in a season to see one troupo of “ minstrels ;” but wo shall not be content with one visit to these comedians. Yes, comedians Is the word. They are not merely imitators of negro singing and dancing, thoy nre ex cellent actors. Tho entire “ first part,” which is gen erally spun out with sentimental ditties aud conun drums, is, in their hands, a little comedy, with all its parte apportioned to capablo representatives. We may instance that capital song and chorus '• Old Bob Itidloy,” which, as sung and performed by J. K. Search, is a most luughublo scona,—so of the “ Su gar Cane Green,” and a dozen others. They sing a piocc which we at first thought was in tended to attract by its title, and which wo expected to. find dovoid of uny real claim to critical notice “ Aunt Harriet Ikccha Stowe," but wo cannot suf fer this opportunity to pass without recording our admiration of the spirit, tho tone and temper of the composition, and of the admirable manner in which i4 is rendered. Tho language of the song is the most refined sarcasm, in which wo find no abuso, no vul garity, nor clap-trap ; and the execution of it Is a dignified yet exciting scene. The positions of the various performers In tbe chorus would make a capi tal tableau. We would suggest to all who have not yet heard them, to neglect it no longer, if they are fond of fun\ and (let it be said with all dne respect for the straight- laced dignity of some people) ho who has no faculty for being funny, or for liking those who are, must havo something lying heavy on bis heart, or on his conHolunce.

He informed the Russian Commander, Gorts- clmkoff, that if tho Russians did not evacuate the Principalities before October 24th, he would cross tho river and put him out. It remains to be seen whether Omcr would further keen his word by passing the first of November in Bucharest.

Gibson. They contain tiie result of an interview between Mr. Belmont ami tho Minister of Foreign Affairs ut tho Hague. Tiie Dutch Minister will subject the action of the Execu tive at Batavia to tho sovercat scrutiny for having an nulled tho action of the court of justice. Mr. Bel mont, in a private letter to the Assistant Secretary of State, says: • Capt. Gibson has given no exagger ated picture of tho gr6sa system of espionage and official despotism practised in tbo Dutch dependencies of the East. From those dependencies they derive a revenue of five millions, which is tbe main support or an otherwise bankrupt Government. Numbers of Dutchmen are met with at tbe Hague, who have been banished from Java on account of a too free expres sion of opinion relating to the Netherlands India gov ernment.” It is also stated in another letter that the Dutch government has in ite possession, among the papers seized upon Captain Gibson, a letter from a high functionary of the late administration, giving Mr. Gibson a roving commission of observation. This, the Dutch Government are said to regard as a grand discovery, fully carrying out tho idea of American propagandism. Funeral of 8enatou Atheuton.—The remains of the Hon. Charles G.
