Niw Orleans, .March 29th.—The
staamshipi Wave, from Vera Cruz, on
the 22d inst;, put into Berwiok Bay,
shsgt of coal, and comes here for sup
plies of ammunition. The news by this
arrival is interesting.
The bombardment of Vera Crus con
tinued until the morning of the 17th,
when Gen. Miramon attaoked the city,
bat after half an hour's combat he was
repulsed with considerable loss. Wo
men and children had' taken refuge in
the Castle to the number of 2500.
The bombardment, was resumed the
same day with renewed vigor,* doing
much damage. One shell burst in the
American Consulate, which seemod to
be the special mark for Miramon’s mor
tars.
Another assault was attempted on the
night of the 10th; it was, howevef, quick!
ly repulsed.
Oorvassal’s force had captured a con
voy of 15 wagon loada of munitions of
It was captured near Jalapa, vras^dea-
tined for- Miramon’s array. It-was
guarded by 700 men, all of whom were
dispersed.
Miramon raised the seige of Vera
Criis on the 21st, and had withdrawn
his troops towards the Capitol.
Intelligence from the city of Mexico

Importation or Cotton.—The impor
tation of Cotton into England has since
the import duty was abolished, increas
ed sixteen fold. Having been 63,000,-
000, lbs., it is now 1,000,000,000 lbs.—
This is one of those giant faots whioh
stand bead and shoulders higher than
the crowd—so high and so brood that
we can neither overlook it nor offeot not
to see it. It proves the existenoe of a
thousand smaller facts that must stand
under its shadow. It tells of sixteen
times as many mills,' sixteen times all
many English families living by work
ing those mills, sixteen times as much
profit derived from sixteen times as
much capital engaged in this manufac
ture. It carries after it sequence* of
inoreased quantity of freights and insu
rances, ana necessities for sixteen times
the amount of customers to oonsumo,
to our profit, the immense amount of
produce we are turning out. There ore
not many suoh foots as these arising in
the quiet routine of industrial history.
It is so large and so steady that we eon
steep our national policy by it '; it is so
important to us that we should be reduc
ed to embarrassment if it were sudden

wonderful a result; its benefioentop
eration makes it essential to us to deal
carefully with It, now that we have got
