Ths Cotton and Commerce of India. By J. Chapman. In the olden times the only concern of the politician and of the political economist, if any merited that name, was how a country was to enrich itaelf. It was then thought that this could be done satisfactorily by overreaching or despoiling other countries.

Bat it has since been found, that in order to a cation's becoming rich, it muBt deal with other rich nations it has been found that, in order to derive profit from trade with even- colonies, it is necessary that these colonies should be rich. It was long thought that this could be done by monopoly and commercial privilegesin other words, making the consuming public at home contribute to the wealth of colonial proprietors, in order that the revenue might take a handsome per eentage of that wealth. This, too, has been exploded. And itis now admitted that the wealth in a colony, by trading with whioh we can profit, must be distributed amongst the people, must come to appertain to the industrious acid working classes, and be freely and fairly used by the middle ranks, which grow up between them and the mere lords or functionaries. We must not, however, be very ready to complain and quarrel because we find this not yet done in some of our colonies for in fact this distribution of wealth and comfort, and of the moral qualities attaching to them, is far from being general in Europe itself, and is found wanting even in a portion of these kingdoms.

Ireland is, in some respects, not more advanced than India. Taxes on consumption are there as barren to a finance minister as they might be in India or in Turkey. The great secret of the amassing, nsing, making, and distributing wealth is as yet too imperfectly known at home to be so easily transferred, to remote dependencies. The problem, moreover, of giving wealth to India and to Ireland, of creating and distributing it there, has been rendered more difficult by the increased and inevitable cheapness of the raw commodities whioh those countries can pro-' duce. If we did not succeed in making the peasants of Ireland and the ryots of India wealthy and comfortable when corn was at 80 shillings and cotton at 30 pence, how much more difficult must it be, when the price of corn has fallen one half, and cotton more than three fourths.

In both cases and countries the miserable habits of mis-government and local degradation confine the possibility of profits by the high prices to the land-ewuer, or land-administrator the cultivator was no more benefited by the high than by the low prices, and the result of the abolition of the former is but a just retribution on the indolence, ignorance, and selfishness of those who held the soil in their senseless power. A better state of things is promised in Ireland, where the interests of the cultivator and the landlord, being reduced to more equal proportions, will cause a corresponding equality in their effort, their skill, and their mutual respect. It is the separation of classes that isolates and benumbs the faculties of all. Contact, and rivalry, and equality, encourage qualities never developed by a society ot masters and serfs.

Mr.

Mercer, disappointed in the climate of Sundelcnna, and the results of cultivation there, had expressed, a strong opinion in favour of the cotton producing power of Berar, founded on a sample of ita produce which; had been sent to him. Being placed at the disposal of the Bombay government, he waa directed to observe, on his way to that presidency, the circumstances affecting, in different places, the growth of cotton. His route was from Mirapbre; by Rewab, iubbulpaor, Hoshuugabad, Baitool, and Lusken-warra. Avoiding details, his remarks are aa follows. Between Mlrzapore and Jubbulpoer he found little cotton grown and, in two instances, of which he gives particulars, tbe value ot it wan, in one case, 3 rupees out of 114 less than tbat of OonuaWuttee, and in the other, the quality was equal but to that of the poorest growth of Bundelcund.

of a short distance in the southern pert ot the valley of Mayheer is any more favourable account given, and even here toe local conon is ciawea, uougu use hi uuu, wu that of Bundelound. From this valley to Jubbulpoor' itself, although he met droves of bulloeka passing through, with Naspoor cotton for Mirzapore. and although the country was in one place very luxuriant," and, for -three davs' march, beautiful, and generally highly cultivated," yet there were "no cotton fields." Leaving be found tne country more decidedly "ot a cpttjHiicnarac-ter but be did not find much cotton cultivation, and only in the neighbourhood of Hothungabad is, cotton noticed as a crop apparently deemed important by. the cultivators, WUliB even luio iiupvc bauue a(iu uittaoaio wo jviu. toBai'tool.

Arrived, however, at Luekenwarra. on the Adiunta orNy hadree Range that is, having crossed that' part of Berar whioh lies to the northward of that range, he writes that iq one part "cotton seems to be the chief cultivation," "half the crop," that "generally -there is an approach to American cultivation, such' as he had seen- nowhere else in India," and speaks ot the native cotton as being already of a superior character. On his wav he met considerable quantities olUomrawuttee and Hingeogbaut cotton proceeding to Mirxapore. He states that he found the Ooinrawuttee "of very good colour, Hue, soft, aud, though uneven, of pretty good length and better, he thought, than lair Americano;" that irom Hisgenghaut of very good quality indeed; that from Arvee. verv eood.

iust the same as all the Nagpoor cotton he had seen, of fair length and fineness, colour ex cellent, and, it a little. oetter cleaned, certainly equai.to eood Mobile, or Upland Georgia, with none of the harshness eo common in the -cottons of -the north-western provinces" of India. The general result of his iudomentaeema to be. that, while in the northen part of his journey he found little or no encouraging present growth of cotton, yet that so soon ib he reached Berar he peiosived a change of circumstances highly; favourable to the purpose that 'cotton js largely grown there, that the cotton ot Uomrawuttee is at leapt equal in nature to the fair common Qualities of American and that the cotton of Hingenghaut is superior by about 10 per cent, to that of Uomrawuttte. xnese conclusions sri exact accordance with all other testimony, but have here the peculiar value of being the opinions of an experienced American planter, sent out by the Kast India Company to improve the cotton cultivation of India.

The country to which these remark apply is approximately defined by a line passing from east to west a little south of Baitool. This line, continued westward, would take in but little more ot Candeiah, than la now rowio. and exporting cotton to advantage, while, perhaps, the whole northern limit, tnus laid uows a convenient suaiguviuw, may, perhaps, exelude some small districts, as the Nerbudda, whioh under improved circumstances ot transit, would contribute to our supply. The southern limit includes Bellary. On the west it is marked bv the Wurda River (a tributary of the Toonc- buddra, -and through it of the Kistna), southward, of which all testimony agrees that ho good cotton is grown, although immediately to the northward of it ia the celebrated cotton district of Dharwar, On the eait the line approaches the Kistna, near Kurnool.

to include whioh-weuld-have made an irregular and uncertain line, may be considered an e.utlying portion of the figure, so defined, that district and Bellary contributing to the export chiefly through the port of Coomptah, as has bees already, noticed. The high land of Mysore, which commences immediately to the southward ot these limits, is too well known to produce no cotton, to permit the boundary to be carried' further in that direction. The limits of the great cotton field of this part of India being thus pointed out, it remains to be seen whether the area so comprehended is, or is net, generally applicable to the purpose. Of the best Indian cotton it is assumed by Mr. Chapman that English manufacturers can use 75 per a better sort being required for the remaining 25 per cent.

Mr. Chapman' gives no opinion as to the effeot which the additional supply thus imported -would have on the markets of England -but it is evident from the authorities which be quotes that the price of cotton on the field has been the same, whether it sold ia England at Is. 8d.per when first imported, or at 6d. per lb. the latest average price.

Indeed he admits that increased bheapness of production cannot be looked for to account for increased capability of exportation." It is, therefore evident that fall in freight and exchange, and reduction in the price of transport from the growing field to the coast, must be the means by which increased competition is to he met. Mr. Chapman is confident that by roads especially railroads tms requirement win pe met. He instances South America to show that where there is facility of inland transit there is increased export traffic and a greater outlet for British goods. He shows that British goods are comparatively confined in their sale to the coasts of Hindostan, whilst they are carried far inland in manv states of South America; and he assumes that, if facilities were given to internal traffic in India, a new demand would be created for our But however true it may appear, that roads are the sole cause of difference between the traihe of South America and that of India, the condi tion of the, population must form an important element in the inquiry.

But still there is great truth and force what Mr. Chapman advances.

The articles which have been collected by tbe committee of the Agricultural Society for transmission to the Lmin Exhibition of next May were offered on Wednesday for public inspection. There was a greater variety of produc- tiona than had been anticipated, the general expectation being that no justice could be done to the natural resaurcas of the colony in the short time allowed for making ths collection; The articles belonging to tbe animal and mineral kingdoms were, indeed, comparatively few. There were some specimens of hides and skinB, including several handsome karcsses, horns of various sea elephant and (beep's-tail oils, cheese, butter, barrels of salt beet and St, all these articles being, it is hardly necessary to say; ofchou quality and well prepared.

There are some specimens of iron and lead oreB, plumbago, limeetone, and a few other minerals. Among thee must be included a model oi a wingsa head, neatly moulded in fine yellow clay. But the articles of vegetable origin constituted by far the most important pan of the collection. Among them were specimens of till various woods of the colony, some in rough blocks, others elegantly polished, and arranged together for compana Some handsome boxes, made of different species ol wwWi attracted much attention. A very good collection of numerous medical herbs of the colony, evidently, prepare! by a practised hand, made one of the most eatistaBWif features of the exhibition.

These specimens will, doubtleo, be examined with interest by herbalists and druggists in England. A box of cigars and aome canaster Wbaw), apparently of good quality, may serve to remind colonista and strangers, that the Cape is as well fitted, climate and Boil, for the growth of this product, as Virgin itBelf. A contribution of preserved fruits, put upi artiatical style, had a tempting look. Some and flour were exhibited, which will speak well for agricultural capabilities of the Cape. Among 'the which attracted notice were specimens of gums of vanca kinds, aloes, beeswax, honey, bush syrup, bark tanning, floap, extracts of flowers, Of specimeu on native "workmanship there were very -few-some bow made of fancy woods, and a lew knives manufactured at the mission station of Genadefidal, wers Sgn Tevidences of the skill attained by.

Mr. Chapman's motto is the old one, of there being nothing like leather." He went to India, we believe, to superintend the promotion of a railroad, and that gigantic aim has evidently overshadowed and obliterated all other ideas in his mind. All that India wants is cheap trausit. Railroads are to be its panacea. The population is not too' dense, the rent is not too high, taxation is not too onerous, rule is sot too arbitrary, nothing is to be desired in the way of security of property and freedom of action.

The ryot may remain in statu quo he may be given a better gin to clean his cotton, and a railroad at his door to carry it off. But, according to Mr. Chapman, this i'b all he or the country requires, in order to become a wealthy market for English goods, and an inexhaustible supply of the raw material, whioh our home manufacturers crave. We must say, that in this we differ from Mr. Chapman.

Nothing can be more correct than hisi views, so far as they extend, his survey and character of districts, his conclusions as to the supplies that the earth can yield, and his assertion that the cost of transit is with Indian cotton the first and ruling element of price. But we maintain at the same time, that other considerations, completely set aside by the author, must on the contrary be carefully kept in view, and that if no fiscal reform, no social improvement, can be worked amongst the labouring and agricultural classes of India, then even railroads will fail, and the peasantry will not he excited to that care, and exertion, and foresight necessary for a continuous and improving supply. Nothing is more clear, in Mr. Chapman's book, than that for the cotton cultivation, as well as for the immediate dealing with those who cultivate it; natives alone can be depended npon. The native zemindar, the native ryot, the native usurer, the native par-nhaser.

must have the control, and manipulation of large supplies. Pet farms and European superintendents may do for an experiment, and even for that not verv well. But to render a re gion productive of cotton above all, a region that does not immediately belong to the Company the natives of India can alone be relied on. It necessarily; follows that they must be improved, as well as the means of transport, ere any complete or satisfactory result can be obtained. We will not enter into Mr.

Chapman's disquisition as to whether the portion of the orop, or of its worth, subtracted from the cultivator, be rent or tax. It in truth matters little. And the distinction which Mr. Chapman draws of rent increasing and tax decreasing with population, is quite inapplicable in a country where cultivated land lies waste on one Bide, and the exigencies of the government, through war and prodigality, have continually been increasing on the other. The cultivator is obliged to give one portion of the crop to the master who lets him the land and another portion to the usurer that enables him to sow it.

These sums, raised upon his return, are of that amount as to render it always a moot point with the Hindoo whether he shall sow his ground or leave it fallow. As far as the provision absolutely necessary for his sustenance goes, he will hoe and plant, no matter how exorbitant the price to be paid. It is the old story Of the Irishman and bis conacre. But cotton is another affair; it is a distinct speculation; and if it won't pay he will not rear it. Now all the railroads in the world will not make him rear the crop, if the lords of land and of taxation are thus to take in all cases the uttermost farthing.

He, the landlord, will calculate the facilities of the railroad and its effect on price; and thus though the ryot may have a station at his door and be within hearing of the engine whistle, he will be no more enabled to raise cotton than he was before, until he ia freed from that arbitrary regime of land tenure which leaves him, as it does the Irishman, the mere husk of the eood seed, which his labour produces. Having entered this kind of protest, we proceed to give Mr. Chapman's valuable information respecting those parts of India likely to yield important supplies of cotton. The argument of Colonel Grant against the likelihood of anv inland part of India famishing large supplies of cotton was, that Guzerat, close to the sea, and with great advantages for transport, had not augmented its produce. Mr.

Chapman contends, and brings facts to show, that all tne ootton-pronuc-incrBoilof Guzerat is alreadv devoted to that crop, and that the nature of the soil, not price, limits their extent of such produce. He makes the same assertion of Coimbatore and Tinnevelly. Bengal cotton is. unfit for English use, being coarse, and applicable only to the lowest uses. Bundelcund and the north-west provinces grow at beat but" rafi-.

rior staff, and are, besides, subject to frequent failures irom arougnc maiwa lately gave up growing cotton, and produces opium, whilst Oriesa can scarcely feed its internal demand.
