 Tic eofqhest ahd possession of lnfia by British enterprize after expenditure Of blood of trea sure, opened wide and extensive field of employ mcnl for British subjects

 The first expedition India was undertaken in the year 1901, undar Copl. Lancaster, who returned 10 England in 1903, after successful voyage, with valuable cargoes of India produce. The East India Company afterwards monoPoized the trade of lIe vast Indian Empire, great accessions having been made to their possessions, under the Governor Generalships of Lord Give, Warren Hastings, and Lord Cornwallis.

 Lord Cornwallis was appointed Governor General of India after the surrender at fork Town, that dis astcr to British not having lost him influence at Court, materially impaired the strength of his aristooraiic connections. Warren Hastings is well known, was impeached in l7SS inr high crimes and misdemeanors committed during his admnistra- ton in India.

 The East India Company, originally incorporated for purposes of trade, terminated it's commercial character in 1881. By the act of William the 4th for continuing its charter till 1851, it's functions are wholly political, and they to govern under the supervision of the Board of Control, 100, 900 000 of British suberts. They have at their command an | army of 200,00 men, and annual territorial of so 900 900, which is equal to that of some l of the most powerful monarclIes of Europe. The progress of the Cotton culture in India, and the steps now being taken for it's improved and ex- tended cultivation in that great empire calculated arrest the attention of tho Cotton growing regions of the South. The statements this subject in the annexed extracts from foreign journals, contain grave | matter for the South.

 From the Bombay Times. June g. 1s4i.1 Prediction of Cotton in India.-On examining into the supplies of Cotton brought to this market during l the twelve months ending the 3lst of May, find that the result is well calculated to astonsh those who have not been marking the progressive increase of this product, but has been dwelling with flncied security on the recolections of what used constitute

 large supply for us, viz: 200 to 250,000 bales. It appears, then, that from the first of June 1910, the first of June 1911 the imports of Cotton into Bombay have amounted to l74,2i2,7 755 pounds; or on tho previous average, of 34 cwt., to e bales, 47S ,G06 bales, little short of half million of screwed bales. l This is larger quantity than America produced up | to the year 1926, and more than consumed in England during the same year. In 1925, the entire product of the United States amounted only 169,- 806 QUO pounds, though twelve years after It had reached A ,214 ,537 pounds-Vide McC's Diet.

 As further encouragement to the cultvatiors, we may state that the consumption of East India Cotton in Great Britain has increased in greater ratio than that of any quality whatever In 1Sl6 at which pe- rod the average of American Upland was l54d, and Surat at l5id all the consumption of American was 4,036 bales, and East Indian 207 bales per week. In 1859, when the average price of Upand was 73 and Surat at 54d, the consumption of Amer:an 15,- GA bales, and East indian 2l t2 bales per week the increase, in g years of the last mentioned, being in the ratio of to 13. In the same period, the con sumption of Egyptian, Brazil, and West fndia vare- ties has not doubled.

 From the London Literary Gazette Sept. h. 1e4I.l INDIAN PRoDUCTs AND MANUFACTUREs.-- Coanected with this subject, we rejoice to see that measures being successfully taken form a na- tional intercommunication of valuable products and manufactures between England and her mighty east- empire. This has been long and most strangely eslected and it would have been well worth while to establish board of commission, with government influence and authority, ts direct and superintend so 1 important concern. As il is, the stimulus appears to have bccn given by the committee on trade, &c emanaiing from thc Royal Asiatic Society, whose proceeding has had beneficial effect both at home and n India. We now learn that experiments tp cultivation of cotton promising the greatest resuls and that other branches of industry are all being improved and promoted by European skill and encouragement. The IImalayan fine has been accli- matel and found extensively useful; and the s'pro- digiols' lucerne, ani other nutritious grasses oi which travellers have spoken in such high terms of praise, arc also introduced with every prospect oi adding much to agricultural prosperity. Teas, cofftes, silks, and hundreds of fruits, gums dyes med cines, and other precious articles of commerce renin yet be cultivated, and nterchaneed in abun dancs, to tile incalcnlabe advantage of both countries
