The future price of cotton will depend upon bo >
, many contingencies, which may or may not hap- 811

' any opinion, especially when we consider that I'

( There is no cause for the present depression of

j no one can tell. Wo are confident that when the Hl.

I The crop of 1856 wi the United States was 7,000,- 'u
1 . to
000 bales short of the crop of 18.55. and it is a c|
conceded fact, that, the crop of 185? will be a c i
1 ! short one. The Attempt of England to produce '1'

is left to govern the price independent of other

cotton from tho United States. She is compelled sh<

"The safe exhibited by Mr. Foster was about
e size of a medium sized mail hair, and so con- ; i
rueted that it must remain perfectly water-tight i I
otlgh it should be pressed under the water and | i

it to buoy ii]> two men. The loss of so :
rge au amount of gold and the mails by the

r. Foster the idea of u marine safe, whieh he
is succeeded in perfecting, and which needs onto

that something of the kind haw not long ,
