The next report is from Colonel Coombs, 
at Palaveram near Madras : the specimen fur- 
nished is from plants grown on the hill on 
which he resides, five miles from the sea-coast 
and about 400 feet above the level of the 
sea. Another specimen is from plants grown 
at the foot of the same hill. The plants 
appear to have thriven well : the file or fibre 
is strong and long, possessing a good deal of 
fineness, and it bears the hue of what is 
termed healthy and well grown cotton ; it is 
likewise gathered in a remarkably, clean 
manner, and would be much esteemed by 
our machine spinners. It is valued in Liver- 
pool at 7d. to l^d. sterling per pound. The 
cotton grown at the foot of the hill is of 
middling quality, the fibre is shorter, weaker, 
and rather finer than that of the hill cotton; 
neither is the hue quite so good. 
The last report is from Mr. Huggins at 
Allahabad. The cotton was raised from Up- 
land Georgia : he raised the plants in May, 
and as soon as the rains set in he transplant- 
ed them into beds which he had prepared 
with two or three ploughings at the distance 
of five feet each way. The plants during the 
rains grew very rapidly, and began to burst 
their pods early in October.

Mr. Bell next proceeds to give a review 
of the exports, which will be important to 
our readers, particularly in Europe, to whom 
by the way we strongly recommend the 
work itself. It appears there has been 27 
per cent increase on the whole amount of 
export trade, and our author adverts to the 
abundance of other resources which only 
require increased capital to draw them forth. 
We are satisfied in our own mind that 
the Government has not yet learnt the grand 
principle of employing capital to enrich 
itself and the members of the community : 
if the revenue be largely employed in deve- 
loping the powers of production in the coun- 
try, even those who are least acquainted with 
the soil and the climate will assent to the
