One sweet creature Wields my fate terrene,

Anijh it runs one happy little stream,
As bright and silent as a dreamt
In front of it one fatherly old tree,
O'ershades this little girl for hh;
And shelters her from viuiers rain and storm.
And summer suns when over-warm,.
And from the tree one wakely nightingale,
Pours firth so scft and sweet a wail:
That must who pass and all who linger by,
Feel moved with love they wiss not whyi
D 'ar innocent gem with flaxen hair.
Thou knowest me constant as thou art fair;
I go rude winds are whistling thro' thy bower,
Still I go yet return if but for an hour.
Should we pass in sweet converse one 'Move de

Then speak in soft aceents of early love's power.
I lion wert fiend angelical tho yet in direction

When dimpled with smiles you spek for a wooer.

ENGLISH COTTON vs AMERICAN.
We hive before noticed the plans of the
British Government to extend the cultiva
tion of Cotton in their Colonics, puticular
ly in India. The designs that were deve
loped lat year of ulhtiuiting tluir own
production for the slave labor production of
this Country, by taxing the importation of
ours while their own should he admitted
free of duty, ard by other means, ate in a
fair way of being accomplished.
By referring to the English and East
India papers, we find many stub statements
as the annexed, which show that the views
expressed last year were correct. Our
Southern friends may before long see that
England is not their only market, and that
the home market, which takes 2S6,000
bales, is a most sure one, and we may see
the time when they will he as much inter
ested to sustain the home manufacture as
we are. Boston Atlas.
From the
Bombay Times, June 23,
1S41.
Production of Cotton in India. On
examining into the supplies of cotton
brought to this market during the twelve
months ending the 31si of May, we find
lint the result is well calculated to astonish
those who have not been marking the pro
gressive increase of this product, but have
been dwelling with fancied security on the
recollection ot what used to constitute a j
large supply for us, viz: 200 to 250,000
bales. It appe.rs, then, that from the first
of June, lSdO, to the firs June, 1841, the
imnortsof cotton into Bombay have J
mounted to 174.212.755 nnon.l. or. on
the nrevious average, of 31 cwt to the bale. '
47S,G0C bales, little short of half a million
r r ' -
of screwed bales! This is a larger quanti
ty than America produced up to the year
1S2G, and more than was consumed in
England during the same year. In 1825,
the entire product of the United States a
mounted to only 1G9,S6'0,000 pounds,
though twelve years after it had reached
444,214,537 pounds. Vide McC's Diet.
As a further encouragement to the culti
vators, we may state that the consumption
of East India cotton in Gnat Britain has
increased in a greater ratio than that of any
quality whatever. In 1S16, at which pe
riod the average of American Upland was
lSd., and Sural at 15id., all the consump
tion of American was 4,036 bales, and East
Indian 207 bales per week. In 1839,
f n i i
wnen tne average price oi upland was
7d., and Surat at 53d., the consumption
of American was 15,644 bales, and East
India 2142 bales per week; the increase, in
twenty-three years, ol the last mentioned,
being in the ratio of 1 to 18. In the same
period, the consumption of Egyptian, Bra
zd,and W est India varieties has not doub
led.

Indian Products and Manufactures.
I'onnecieu wun mis suojeci, we rejoice
to see that measures are being successfully
taken to form a national intercommunica
tion of valuable products and manufactures
between England and her mighty eastern
empire. This has been long and most
strangely neglected; and it would have
been well worth while to establish a board
of commission, with government influence
and authority, to direct and superintend su
important a concern. As it is, the stimu
lus appears to have been given by the com
mittee on trade, &c, emanating from the
Royal Asiatic Society; whose proceeding
has had a most Denenciai etlect both ai
home and in India. We now learn that
experiments on the cultivation of cotton
are promising the greatest results', and
that other branches of. industry are. all be
ing improved and promoted by .European
skill and encouragement. The Himalayan
tine has been acclimated, and found exten
sively useful; and the "prodigious" lu
cerne, and other nutritious grasses, of
whic'i travellers have spoken in such high
terms of prais ', are also introduced with
every prospect of adding much to our ag
ricnhural prn.ppriiv. Teas, coflees, silks,
and hundreds of fruits, gums, dyes, medi
cities and other precious articles of com-
m-rcc remain yet to be cultivated, and in
terchanged in abundance, to the incalcula
hie advantage of both countries.
From the Neio Orleans Courier.
We imagine no man now living ever ex
pected to see. in his day, a renewal of those
unequal combats between nations, which
distinguished the commencement of tlv
rxtrcntli century, when Cortes and Pizir-
ro overthrew large
empires with a few
hundred men
And yet, from our last ac
counts fro n China, there is every pr.ba
mmy that the hiigltsh, comparatively a
few in numbers as were the first conquer-1
orsof Mexico and Peru, will attempt, nay,
succeed, in conquering China, and expell
ing those who have governed it for ages.
The English, probably, intend dashing
on to Pekin, where they may expect to
Und much treasure stored up. During the
whole of the eighteenth century, andpart
of the nineteen, h, immense sums in silv er
have been sent to China to purchase silks
md leas. The greater part of that silver
is still in the country.
We doubt the justice of the war which
the English have thus commenced. We
think, moreover, that Russia, France, and
Austria will not allow England to retain
permanent possession of China, and add
the control of her immense population, in
dustry, and wealth to the already over
grown British power in India. Russia is
most interested in this Chinese war, seeing
t.iat its results may affect her tranquility
and trade. Russia is, at the same time,
the power whose interference is likely to
be the most effective. We may, therefore,
calculate that the Emperor Nicholas will
not remain an indifferent spectator espe
cially should the first successes of the Brit
ish arms be as complete as many anticipate.
We shall conclude, for the present, with
the following extract from a late number of
Blackwood's Magazine. It may be read
with profit by those who take the history
of the past as a guide in their calculations
of what is to come:
"There are more extraordinary things
in history than romance; and the history of
lintish India is among the most extraordi
nary. If any great speaker in the British
Legislature had risen, a hundred years ago,
when some concern of the litile 'company
of British merchants trading to the East
Indies' was mentioned in its
proceedings,
" tu , ' "JVC Eurico '
0CCUP a de,ba,te) aiKJ had pronounced that
even the nabobsh.p f Bengal would yet
iC ! l.i I i or i .
j be a Ilritish province,
we have not the
htest doubt that he would have been
listened to" with vast incredulity. But
what would have been the ridicule of the
wits of the honorable House, if he should
have proceeded to declare that Bengal
would not lorm the limit; that England
would yetbe the sovereign of an Indian
territory more than four times the size of
France, more than seven times the size of
the British isles, governing more than
hundred millions of subjects, and influen-
cinsra hundred millions more? lhe next
wonder might be, that the British force in
Hindostan would equal the whole army
of France in the time of her most splendid
and ambitious king, Louis XIV a force of
300,000 men, and 1,000 pieces of artillery
in the field: completing this political and
moral prophecy, by predicting that the
whole would be accomplished in little more
ihan a single generation. It would have
r- c-j
required the largest measure of personal
respect to make such a soothsayer listened
io with patience. His views would be
called dreams, his calculations renelled as
the conjectures of a disordered fancy
promises laughed at as the sport of a spirit
willing to try the utmost extent to wnicn
public council could be deluded by the pas
sion fur conquest, or the captivations of or
atory. The conquest of a country of such vast
extent, diversity, and power, by a little
island, at a distance of half the globe, has
undoubtedly a right to excite feelings and
inquiries superior to those with which we
iegard the routine of this world's affairs."

By day and by night, this terrible tab

the grave yawning alike for the
old antf the young all enduring a com
mon fate: anil that the most awful th T evu
scourged the world.
Can any thing be done? O.jr cor.sidera
lion avails n.)t our arm could not reach
them, and if they could it,would be a pro
longation of mit-ery. What if we remoa
s'rated? Will the haughty aristocrats ivlu,
now govern England and aspire to the su
prem icy of the world, lis:cn to remon
strance? They, on whose cars the groats
of millio-is of the down-hodden fail idly as
the whirling of the autumn leaves they,
whom the moans of women aod children,
famishing fur bread, cannot soften will
they thus Iiten to the faintly whisper
ed rprool that comes across the Atlan
tic? The thousands of priests, who, by huge
establishments fleece the nation of a tithe of
its productions the thousands of the rich
and titled, who hold in their unclenching
grasp the wealth, with the law and sword
lor their protection will they let go their
hold, or give up one of the privileges which
iheir lawless, bandit ancestors seized, and
they claim and defend will, will they
rescue poverty Irom starvation?
When the negro slave is sick, he is nur
sed when old and infirm, he is fed
and sheltered; infancy is cared for, age pro
tected. If there is famine, the master kills
his cattle, sells his property to feed his
slaves. In England the white slave la
bors longer and harder for a poorer living
than the negro, and when provisions are
dear, and his work not wanted, he is left
to starve. This England sends her Thomp
sons to declaim on the sin and curse of ne
gro slavery. In the eyes of the Almighty
the Southern slaveholder is Its guilty than
the English capitalist.
What of liberty has the English artisan
to boast? lie has not even the liberty to
labor the liberty to eat the bread of toil.
England is no country of libeity. The
slave who sets his fool upon her bhore is
free to starve. Does he ask bread, he is
told to earn it. When he asks for -labor,
there is none to be had. If he attempts to
kill game in the fortsi, or catch fish in the
stream, he is sent to jail. England is a
country of p ivilege. The nubility, the
clergy, all who compose the great machine
ry of her Government, have privileges
privilege to oppress, to monopoiize,to ciush,
to starve. In all the tyranny of privilege
in England abounds. In all the freedom
of Democracy audequal rights it is wanting.
It is governed, taxed, pillaged by privi
leged classes. Millions toil from infancy
to age hundred of thousands live in want
and starvation that their sovereigns may
enjoy a thousand costly luxuries. A
world's 'A'calth is hoarded around London.
We can form no adequate idea of the gian
deur that is concentrated upon the few.
God looks down calmlv from above and
sees the many starving.
Can this be always? Will generation
after generation pass into eternity, after a
life of horrible destruction here, leaving
wealth and privilege still in the enjoyment
of the few, and toil and want still the lot
of the many; or will the spark of human
ity, not quite stamded out, revive, and
brains and muscles assert the rights
they were intended to protect and enjoy?
Will all the brawny artizans of England
cringe under the awful power of pursa and
sword forever. There is no hope of re
form. Wealth does not relax its grasp
povver does not give up its privileges,
and when did either care lor nghtr
Every day the case of the English laborer

vi" !t:e He who submits to fraud is its ac-'
C 'Sroty. Man has no right to Wrong. A
small evil maybe endured as the only means
attaining a great good, as for the sake of
a cure we may submit to an operation;
but then the evil becomes portion of the
good.
It is unjust lo the people of England, the
descendants of our common ancestors, to
suppose that ten years more can pass with
out a revolution. Heaven grant that it
may be a bloodle.-s one but if blood must
be shed, in God's name let it flow! It
were better that the head of every haugh
ty and beautiful despot in Great Britain
should roll on the dust, Ihan this state of
things should continue. What matter a
few headless trunks, and a few puddles
A blood, in comparison with the lrcedom
and hapiness of unborn millions? If ty
ranny will not lav down privilege at the
feci of justice, let the a. vord force it from
her. i he revolution must come, and
in whatever form we s'.ail welcome it.
11 ive we no lesson here? Are we re
moved from all fear of a similar fate? No.
Monopoly and privilege are the constituents
of tyranny. They are as faithful in a rer
public as in a Monarchy. Already we
have 50 much of both as to produce some
cvii and threaten more. Monopoly Jand
privilege have given England a luxurious
aristocracy and a starving people. The
same causes will produce lhe same effects
here, ard while we sympathise wiih the
condition of the oppressed, let us never
ce..se to oppose eery encroachment of
power here,
The people of lhe United States owe it
to thtmsclves, and to the cause of univer
sal humanity, lo maintain equal rights
against the smallest encroachments of priv
ilege, and the slightest exhibition of the
spirit of monopoly. If the people of this
country would save their children from
the fate of the wretched starving artisans
of Europe, let them grant no charters of ex
clusive privilege.
Hard fight. On Thursday last, ai a
farmer was returning home from town,
after disposing of his load of marketing, he
had passed the bridge this clue of the Flor
issant, and entered the woods on the oppo
site, when he heard something cry like
a child, and stopped his team to see what
it could be. It was about nine o'clock in
the evening, and the moon wa shining ve
ry bright. After stopping a few minutes,
and hearing nothing, he again started,
when the same noise and crying was re
peated, apparently nearer than before, and
he again stopped and got out of the wagon.
He had no sooner got out than a large
Panther sprung at him irom the limb of a4
tree, near the road, but missed him. Be
ing possessed of great presence of mind he
caught the Panther by the tail, and, having
but a wagon whip in his band, his only
chance was to prevent the 'varmint from
turning on him. Wemuat give his own ,
account as near as we can, and you wiil
pu'-eive Irom his imgo that he was a
iDitchmau. -VtiJ," tie said, '-when 1
jgets him by detail he dries to jump dis

I gives him a little dump mit my vagon whip;
dtn he dries to jump doder way, den I
pulls him doder way, and gives one more
little dump mit my whip: den he jumps
right up, and I pulls him right down, and
every time 1 gives him a little dump; den

very mad." Why didn't you let him

run oil into the woods." 'Uh de tivel
no, no! If I have let go his tail it would
be bad bisine.ss." -Well what did you do
with him?" 'Vell, I say go along' to
mine horse9, and drives him home, and my
son Jac dakes up de axe and knocks him on
de head." The distance he drove the
'varmint' was over three miles. During
the fight he belabored the animal so unmer
cifully with his cart whip that he became
conquered, and only attempted once to
turn upon the wagoner iu the whole dis
tance.. Louis Pennant.
A Drunkard's death. A man aged
about forty years, whose name was un
known, drank a pint of rum at a draught,
in New York, on Tuesday lst and in a
few hours afterwards died. He was at a
liquor store, where he got a glass of liquor
and drank it. Soon af'erwards an indi
vidual came in, whom he importuned to
treat him, saying he would drink a pint.
Accordingly a pint of rum was given
nim vhich he swallowed. He was then
'urned into the street, when he soon be
came insensible, and after being removed
to the hospital, iu a few hours died.
