At a Inte meeting of the Society of Art*, the subject was" fully discussed; aud^tho conclusion seemed to be that India was the couutry from which a sufficient, supply of ro$(on could ho obtained. It wns (inserted that the soil of Judia was peculiarly adapted to the, culture of cotton ; that the fields of Deratt could procure three or four times the q(t&utity necessary for the consumption of tlie iforld ; and that some of the cotton produced is equal to the finest in America. lt..? ... #i.? ..f _ 1.. .

The consequence is, that two out f, of four requisites for cotton produce are ,] wanting. There is the soil, and tliere arc the f husbandmen, but the capital and the oncrgy c are not forthcoming."
