Complaints thicken urwn us resppcting the qunntity of iXes'td Cotton shipped from this raar- ct. Since our last, several individuals have spo ken to us upon the subject, and one or two have named persons as suspected of being guilty of tSis practice. We wish the facts could be substantiated in a court of justice, we should fel very lit tle reluctance in giving their haines to the public.

It is an cnormf.us sin. Cotton is becoming a most important artie'e iftthc commerce of Ttters- burge, and to have our lair name wasted aoroaa, by a 'set of miscreants, is unpardonable. The culprits must be fe.rrete"d our, and puuiihed. We have been informed of curiou3 circumstance in relation to a bale- of nested cotton, some time aeo A' merchant of this town purchased a parcel of Totton -from an individual, and shipped it to Europe. Upon its arrival at its destined port, the Euronean purchaser, upon opening one of the bales, found it' nested wilh large.rock.

The rock was returned to the i'etersuurg merchant, with the marks aud numbers of the particular ftfWion in which it had been deposited. Ihe roif-riburph merchant knew from whom he bad purchased the cotton, and carefully preserved the rOCK, WQ tne iiiieuuuii to its rightful owner. 'A" opportunity soon The man who thus nested the cotton, wanted a barrel of sugar; with the sugar, the merchant packed up the seme sent it back again to the person who originnallf practiced the fraud, The rock was literally pocketed nr. complaint having ever been made against this equitable njode of administering jurtice It. is hoped the Legislatures of the cotton-growing states will, at their net sessions, pass laws, making it penal to dispose of a bale of cotton without beifig marked with the name of the grow, Rid.
