The foltoWiftg titti\kt Which has been t ? issued by a ffousfe in dftilrteston* has been J handed us for publication. The plriCe of cotton will probably hot eWeetr-^scme suppose it will not e^ual that put down in the circular. Ckatksbn, Aug*** Hth, 1641. Accordingly to odir an n*al custom, we take this opportunity of addressing you with our stews and opinions respecting the prospect of the growing crop of Cot. tow; we do so in the belief that it is ex. pected by you, and it will fail in predicting the ruling prices of the Article throughout the season, it wilt only be adding another to the many instances in which a mistake has been made on this subject The stock of American and other descriptions of CoTTorr in England, on the 3d inst, was 749,000 bales (equal to seven month consumption, working full time) against 511,000 at the same period last year, being an excess of 158,000 bales; this great increase moreove^ is in the face of a deficiency ia the imports during * the same period, of 216,000 bales, shew* a falling off in the consumption far great* er than could hare been expected by any one, and is attributable, we think, in part to the long continued bad state of trade io all the maufacturing districts, the limited demand, and low prices of Goods and Yarns, of which the stocks are large, and the difficulties with China which still exist, by which the trade with that ^ountrv, (one of the largest markets for Cotton Goods) is cut off, hut principally in our opinion to the prices of the raw material which has ranged during the last six month from to two cents per lb. higher ' than at the same time last year. When the Spinners took at least from 5,000 to^ 0,00? hales per week more than they do now, for we find that then notwithstanding, we had a crop of over 2,100,000 of hales, of which 1,800,000 was exported to Europe: their stocks ai the close of last year was than it will probably be at the close of this : although they received from us then, about 6011,000 more than they will get out of this crop, this result, together with the experience of the two years previous, confirms us in our opinion that the production of Cotton has less to do with the price than the consumption thereof, and that if the crop is ever so large, it will he consumed if prices are low, but if otherwise they will resort to short time rather than pay more than a certain value for the article. By the Steamer Columbia, at Boston, we have accounts from Liverpool to the 3d, and from Havre to the 1st iost. the . advices from the former are very unfa, vourable, much more so than was anticipated. , In the two weeks previous Cottox had declined, from an l-8d to l-4i per lb., and even at this reduction the , * market closed heavily; the state of trade , was represented as worse ever, and the > harvest which heretofore had promise tube unusually good, is said to be backward, ' and great fears have entertained that it , may prove an unfavorable one, the quota. < tions were 41-4d a Id per lb., or equal to 1 71-2 a 101-2 cents; in France, and on the Continent a better state of things existed, The Spinners were in full operation, at 1he same time prices were not much, if mnv, higher than in Kngland; the bad wMlhpr. however. hnrilmateriallv affected i ' ' i the crops of Grain, winch have an impor tant benring upon every branch of the manufacturing interest. ^ It in to be hoped that these accounts are omewhnt exaggerated, and that they have represented the condition of worse than they really are, and that as soon as the harvesting is over, it will prove to he much better than was anticipated, this, togethor with a revival of trade, which we cannot but believe, will ere long en- 1 sue. and be of permanent duration, will give an impetus to the consumption of Cottox, and although we connot lend you to expect high prices this year, still we believe the bulk of the crop will be freely disposed of at from 8 a 10 cents, at which rates we are inclined to think that it will he freely consumed, both at home i and abroad. The first few hundred bales of new crop, will probably command 11 cents for the Northern and French markets, but as it comes to market freely, it will vary but little from what we have named, unless the weather for the next two months should be very unfavourable, and an early trost produce another snort crop, in which case, as the season advances, it may have some effect.

I The members of the Custom-house Commission closed their labors yesterday, and departed for Washington. Previous to leaving the citv they addressed a joint note to the Collector of the Port, Mr. Cur.tin, stating that the charges and insinuations made against him have turned out perfectly groundless, and expressing their opinion of the indebtedness of the Governernment to Mr. C. for the great reform introduced by him into the Custom-house of this city, not the least part of which is the greatly lessened expenses of the department. : A report, industriously circulated by the Canada pres??, that A/cLeod is in close confinement heavily ironed, is contradicted by one of the Ulica papers, which says that McLe d is in jail, it is true, but so ifar from being heavily ironed, he is not even confined to the jail rooms, but spends most of his time in the parlor of the jail, or** house, receiving company, and otherwise enjoying himscif as " a gentleman of leisure of the first water" among us.

Capt.

Gwinn, 8th Infantry, with, h Company, captured three of Tigertail warriors, a few days since, and sent thei to Tampa. He was, by last accounts, i pursuit of a large party to which thos warriors belonged. All the above are in addition to the 2 Indians already reported as coming in i Tampa.
