A very little examination will show the incorrect ness of such Calculations. In the first place, instead of calculating the imports from a crop of 1,300,000 lie does so from a crop of 1 437,500 Tor America will require, at least 300,000 Ter France, &e. 370,000 r or r ranee, ora. 670.000 Leaving to Great Britain, what hi* states 707,500 It la not with his calculation of import, however, that I fall out j it la with his estimate of eontump- ‘ tion. According to him, Great Britain will, this year, comumt only 758,500 hales of American cot ton i vixt Fur thirty-three weeks to come, 16,500 per week, or 544.500 And what we know to havn been consumed during the lest nine teen weeks 214 000 758.500 How, the dellveiics from the ports for consumption last year, amounted in all to 1.260,01)0 balr-s, of wMnh 956,000 were Americans; besides 102,000 for •sport, of whicn vo.oau —«r„ American*. It is al io well known, thut the xnnornl yomly ineru«>» »i loniumplion is about 50.000 hales. As, however, I am willing to admit,that Ustycar was ono of over- projection, wnile, from tho high prices of cotton, corn, 4tc., this year will, probably, bo remarkable for the reverse, I shall not only not add the u*ual in crease, but deduct fur this year lliulnigeqnnnlity of 100,0 Obalra from last year's consumption, being equivalent to a difference of 15.0000 bales. Nay, I will even suppose all then to t>e American cotton. In this case, The consumption of American cotton, in the kingdom, for the presont year, w ill bft 850,000 The exports, say 44,000 000,000 Deduct the exports end consumption to the end of April 210,000 Leaves, as the probable quantity to be de livered fiom the putts during the re* tnalndci of the year 604,000 But, according to A Merchant, our present atock and probable impurts, during the year, ara 760,000 Leaving, in the kingdom, on the 31st De cember next, a etoek of only 70,000 baleaof Ameilean cottont of other kind* the stock* now in tho ports are alsovury llgli', Wing 80,730 bis. •gainst 152,040 last year, and205,000 tho yunrbe fore, whilst it is a fact that the consumption,u| these kinds basbeen this year on tho inereaee, Intimating pretty plainly, that wo shall nut bu over-stocked with them either. Suppuie, however, wushulllmvo ef these, on the C In Dec, next, 50,000 bales, the •took of all kind i will then be about 126,DUO!!! What Is this for • stock for the whole kingdom! But how easy would it bo for tho hanks, in Amo rt®®, to retain 100,000 bales, or more, in the coun try. What would be consequenco if they did 7 I am not an advocot • for high prices, hut I should towny to see them go lower, as I am convinced the Urip holders might afU>rwnrds, by somo such mutt- auvrea* I have hinted at, produce a great and in jurious reaction. Trade is now dull and has nn ex ceedingly gloomy appearance; but let us not think that it will always continue so: a revival must,ere long, take place, and, then, the very circumstances of w little business having boen latterly done will cause ft corresponding nc’ivlty, such n* fow now dretm of, From the smallness of tho stocks, which I have shown era lively to be on hand at tho end of the veer, Prices are now by now moans high s let holders, therefore, eontemplato before they mitko further sacrifices, Some time sinco, disbelieving the reports of short crops, I would not have given this advice t now, 1 cannot doubt them. Every sue ceulve arrival confirms tho probability of a large deficiency, which is strengthened by the groat dimi nution In the exports from America, at a period of the yew, too, whim the business of thn Reason was . very fw advanced. On the 17th April, wo find, from accounts by tlw Great Western, that tho total exports from the States wore then 541,517 bidos; to tho tame period, last year, they wore 913,000 ; the year before, 720,669. Tho stock* wore 416,- 694, ftgalnst 427,038 in 1838, and 313,897 in 1837. Pricoe were also Id u» 2d per lb, higher than they here, while the vessels loading were 69 against 69 and 88. In all tho ports, too, tho freight* being wy low, showed little desire to got tho cotton shipped spodily off. From all those circumstances, it is impossible to expect a continuance of low pri- cm My only f ar is, that wo shall again bo ram blingbefore manufacturers can have an opportunity ofripplying themselves to any extent.—I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, L another MERCHANT.

Front the Nt to lira. THE WEBSTER RENT The Commureinl Advertiser of Tuesday evening, "tales that it is authorized to deny the prevalent ru mour that Daniel Webster has recently received n donation to a large nmount from his friends in this city Boston and Philadelphia. Ido not know by whoso authority the denial is made, unless hy some urr>lr;4£ money was advanced, nnd although a sound cap! tnlist would view an investment on similar sccuVi* tv as tantamount to ndonation outright; the opera tion has the semblnnco of a " fair business transac tion," for certain mortgages were given on town lots In Peru, III, Rock Island City, Gibraltar, and Michigan City, Ind., ns security, and which, as such nro quite ns good ns the mortgages given to tho U. S. Bnnk on real estate on the mountains north of Saratoga, as an equivalent for n certain heurvy loan mndo by the hank n few years sinco. Tho first re lief rendered to Mr. Webster some years ago was hy actual subscription—in the present cose, out of a docent rnspert for public opinion, Air. W. is placed in the attitude or u borrower, instead of an "out-door boiioficinry." In 1010, Air. Webster got tho speculating mania upon him. ami without being worth one dollar, commenced operating in real estate at thu West, chiefly in iho town lots, to tho extent of rising 21)11,000 dollars!!—At thi* same period, ho was inveighing against the Uorern* ment for issuing tho specie circular exhibiting n mercenary and belter teal under a garb of pnti io- tism, because this glorious circular, issued for the good of tho many, interfered with tho unhallowed operations of speculators. Mr. W. fell into Uu> hands of a notorious operator in Illinois-ono of those whole smiled, generous credit system follows who do every thing on a magnanimous scale, and who was at that timo in tho full tide of "suce.-ss- ful experiment." Mr. Webster beenmo associated with him in real estate o|ieratlons—visited him at his clognnt mansion at Peru, III. received a pre sent from hi* friend of a splendid pnir of horses, doubtless bought on credit from some farmer, imj hnd every hope of amassing immense wealth out of nothing hut tho running riot of tho credit system humbug. Mr- W.’s friend came to this city to pur chase goods—whilst here lie made proposal* to a friend of mine, who wns ono of the most promis ing young men in Pearl street, to bccomo Ins part* nor. Ho held out to him glowing prospects of a largo end speedy fortune, and us an evidence of hi* I own liberality and wealth, presented him at once with a valunido section of land, which, ns subsu querniy turned mil, ho h id no title to. The part nership was formed, ami good* to the nmount of forty thousand dollar* were niirelmscd in this city alone. About two months since this generous fel low, the very personification of tho touch abused credit system, made track for Texas, stripping hi* voung partner of every tiling, nnd leaving him to he hnrrassed by their heavy indebtedness in this city nnd Illinois. Disown indebtedness is enormous I urn informed hy a gentleman from Illinois, that it exceeds half a million of dollars, an estimate not unreasonable, from tho fact that this bold operator made it a practice to buy every thing that ho could obtain on credit, nnd never parting with a dollar in payment. How far Mr. Webster may have boen duped by bis associate and patron, is immaterial to me, bull cannot but feel indignant thut tho eloquence of Mr. Webster should have boon used in our legislative hulls, us it was successfully, to stir up tho bud feel ings of his party in bitter opposition to tho Govern ment, and all for tho purpose of sustaining his friend nnd other speculators of a similar character, though perhaps of a less grade. W. L. THE JARVIS DIVORCE CASE. Tliis oxtmordinnry ease excite* no little interest. We shall endeuvnr at thn close of the trinl to give n brief outiino of nil tho imporlnnt tsetimony. Either the Indy must be a virago or tho gontlcmun a mon ster. A 11 art lord correspondent of tho N. Y. Com mercial stntes that thocaso increases in interest ami excitement as it proceeds, Mr. Depeyster from New York, tho agent for the Doctor’s pro|Mirty in that city, wus called to tho stand yesterday morning, principolly for tho purpose of showing the amount of property in his agency, ns tho petitioner hud laid his wealth at $100,000. ‘His testimony was given with great apparent enndor, force and promptness. The next witness called was Mr*. Alexander Hamilton of your city, now over ninety year* of age. Sho appeared a very swift witness ter the Doctor, relating, however, with much accuracy ami preci sion, tho event* which hnd hnppem-d during a long acquaintance with the doctor, nnd representing him the most kind, affectionate, affable and agreeable, and one of the best men, enforcing her testimony to tho committee with much earnestness. Next came Miss Christina Jarvis, the younger daughter, who has taken side* with her father. Sho may perhaps bo called less beautiful than her elder sister, but is said to be very amiable in her disposition had much endeared to her acquaint ances. I’lio gave her testimony with less boidncss of manner than her sister, but with great propriety of expression—clear, distinct, and with much feel ing for both her parent*. At one time her feelings gave way, and she swooned under them. It was toon, however, repressed, and the went un with her testimony, which related principally to events when they were in Sienna, Naples, and Rome, (Italy,) much of which came in direct opposition to her sis ter’s previous testimony In the cress examination tho flonnsn! used her with much less severity. Mrs Janris exhibited tome feelings during this witness’s testimony, but generally maintains great self possession, watching with eager iutcrest, taking notes, and communicating with her counsel through Mr. .McCurdy. She is yet very beautiful, ami np. pears not over thirty-live years of are. Several other witnesses followed, the testimony of most of whom related to events which took place at MidJlctown. Coil., and also to the general good eharactrr of the Doctor. At the elose of cite testimony of nearly cverv witness, General Terry, the IWiur’* senior counsel, rose and put the question," Was his (the doctor’s) spirit tyrannical, tils temper violent, reckless and ungovernable 7" which was generally answered in the negative. Mr. .Shiftman, however, intimated that UwDurtor has two characters, one for (lie pub- lie and one for his family, and when they had got Mrs. Jarvis’ character low enough, they should call witnesses to build it up.

Tim Globe likewise, in view of tho re port. that fifty of our midshipmen were about tore- sign a al outer the Texan navy, says that for some weeks past, hut otic midshipman's resignation bus been received al thu department. It therefore doubts the truth of the minor, not believing thut either they or Lieut. Moure w mid wear the uni form nud receive the pay nf one country while de voted to another. The Globe adds: Thn principal reason for this alleged desertion of the service of thn United Stntns, stated in thc ar ticle alluded to, is that the Secretary of the Navy had delayed the annual examination of Midshipmen for nearly two months. We nro informed that this postponement was owing to tho expected arrival of several midshipmen, entitled to nn examination, from foreign stations, who, if not here in duo time, would he put hack a whole year, nnd thus lose thn additional pay to which they would he entitled if success ft ri in thn trial.

Tiie operations of this individual have been astonishingly great, nt one time liis purchases were thirty thousand b des of cotton, and when there was a name in hU affairs, tiie bunks were obliged by their own interest to come forward to facilitate his operations. Thc re fusal of tiie parlies in Franco to accept, may place those who have aided Mr. Nolle, in going on, in a most unfortunate position. Mr Nultc must be u man of no ordinary talents. In 1834, if our recollection serves us, he wa more extensively engaged in cotton shipments tha-i he is now. lie then failed for an intense nmount, and so gneat were his shipments, tiuTt tiie United States Bunk were compelled by their own interest, to udvance largely. His deficiencies at that time were very great, nud we believe to thisduy they re main uiisniislicd. No man of ordinary capacity would have recovered himself in so short a time.

A hero on bis vessel’s deck Lny welt’ring in hi# gore, And tnttor’d sail, and shattei’d wreck Told that the fight was o’er; But e’en-when death had glazed his eye, His feeble quivering lip Still utter’d with life’s latest sigh, " Don't, don't gioo up the Ship." How often Ht the midnight hour, When cloud* ofguilt and fear • Did o’er my hapless bosom low’r, To drive me to despu'r, 1 hose words iiuve rushed upon my mind And made my heart to skip, W hile whisper’d Hope in accents kind " Don't, don't give up the Ship." Oh ye whose bark is rudely toll’d Upon life’* siormy sea, When e'en Hope's beacon light seems lost, And danger's on tiie lee, Tho’ howling storms of dark despair, Your luckless vessel strip, Still lift to Heav’n your ardent prayer ' Aud •• Don't give up the Ship." // And ye who sigh for beauty’s smile, Yet droop beneath her sneer, Who’J deem e'en Heaven a desert ill®, If Woman were not there, If you would hope each honied tweet From her dear lip to sip, Tbo' she may spurn, thy vows repeat, And '• Don’t give up the Ship." O let these words your motto be Whatever ills befall, Tho’ foes beset, and pleasures flee, And Passions' wiles enthral, Tho' danger spread hor ready snare. Your erring (tap* to trip, Remembei that d»ad hero’s prayer, And " Don't give up the Ship." R. M. C,
