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.

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.

This important desideratum in the coi

of that material may now be' consider*
as practicable. This improvement con
bines economy, durability, and beaut;
and is the invention of Mr. J. Spauldir
and Mr. Isherwood, practical enginee
on the NewYoikand Erie Rail Roa<
Two arches, of ten feet each., of this ii

branch road from Factoryville, in th
country, to the Pennsylvania line,- foi
miles in length, is forthwith to be construi
ted on this plan, and the castings al
now being made. This invention is <
great importance. It will produce an ei
tire revolution in the construction of- Ra
Roads, as it can be built cheaper than tli
common mode, and its durability is bej
ond computation. It will open a ne
market for the immense beds of ore wit
which our country abounds, and obviat
the necessity, now unavoidable, of d<

Indian Intelligence?Twenty.seve
Indians of Tiger tail's and Aleck's band
cariie in at Tampa a few days since, an
surrendered, having left their hostii
chiefs.
Capt. Alexander, 6th Infantry, with
part of his Regiment, discovered one i
Tigertail's camps, recently, in the H<
mascassa Hammock, and destroyed a fiel
of corn?the last one, so said the India
guide, belonging to that chief.
Lieut. Rogers, of the Dragoons, pu
sued an Indian the other day, on hors<
back, and finding some difficulty in drav
ing his sword, actually rode over hirn an
took him prisoner.
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.

THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S BOOK I
Or Magizine of
useful and entertaining
. knowledge.
TVre **re many periodical publications, yd
one more it wanted. The friend* of general
Education?the advocate* of tlie diffusion of
Useful knowledge??have long desired to see the
commencement of a monthly magaxioo demoted
to the instruction and entertainment of Young
persons of both sexes. conducted with a sole
view to their improvement in Literature,acieace.
and the conduct of life, written, not m the col*
loquial language which ia addressed to vory
i young children, but with such atuution to the
| a vie aa shall render it worthy the notion of theae
who are acquiring the art of forming their
Literary taste/ and filled with such various,
orif inal, ami valuable matter aa shall reader the
volumes when boa no op, worthy a place ia the
Family or School Library.
It, M the purpoee of The Young Peopled Booh
to furnish such a Msguxine. Tit* has provided
ample means for the accnmpliehiaent of hie
objoct; and he pledgee himself to tiie friends of
liljeral and judicious education throughout tho
United Suics that he will produce a work
which shall be in* every respect worthy of thetf
attention and patronage.
There is a period in the progress from early
childhood to maturity, and thet by no means a
short one, during which the expanding minds of
young aru seeking in every direction tor useful
knowledge, ae welt aa intellectual entertainment.
^ ,
Every book, paper er pamphlet whieh prom*
ims either, ia eargerly read, and every ekirfe or
society of a literary or scientific cast is earnestly
sought. Duringthis period the yoeng person
is not satisfied with that kind of inst action
- which is given to mere children. Something
more elevated?something nearer the studies and
pursuits of active life is reqgiied. A firietd
alw y* at hand who could point otft the pmper
studies to be pursued; the true methods uf developemonl
in Literaluie and Science, the best
course of Reading, tho sorest processes of Investigation,
the most recent authorities in Expnrimoiital,
and the most (earned in Historical
research?a friend who could relieve the dryness
of iibstraci truth by a familiar aiWcdots, narrative
or illustration?*who could acotqr a firw roses of
literature in the ragged paths orsevere science,
would indeed be invaluable.
Such a friend not one Ybuth ina thousand, of
either sex, can have. There is no tolerable
substitute to be Ibund in any book we n ight
-ay in any library. It ia proponed in some tnwis.
ure to supply tho waut of such a frieud in The
Young Pm>}-Ui'K Book.
Onn of the leading objects of the work wilt he

the proper methods of self instruction in the

indicate the progress wl.ich may bo made in tho
Sciences, ao far ae the limits of the work will
allow.
