Consumption Of Cotton In Europe. Last Ye...
Total foreign .......... 448 , 900 . According to these figures , which do not represent the precise truth , but very near it , the consumption of cotton in Europe , excluding England , is about 448 , 900 , 000 lbs ., while the consumption of England is not quite twice as much . Abroad , too , the consumption is increasing very fast . Since 1844 our exports of cotton thither have increased more than threefold , viz ., from 421 , 650 cwts . to 1 , 335 , 790 cwts . in 1858 . The exports from the United States thither have also increased , but not in equal proportion . It ishowever , plain from these figures that

, Great Britain , though still the largest consumer of cotton , is by no means the only consumer , and that any increase of the raw material and any reduction in its price will be equally to the advantage of all the cotton manufacturing countries of Europe and the world . It may be even concluded , as the proportion of fine to coarse fabrics produced is much greater in England than in other countries , that the increase in the supply of the raw material , and the reduction of its price , will be more to their advantage than ours . They use more cotton proportionately for their fabrics than we do for ours . These two facts ,
that every increase in the supply of cotton will affect the general market , and will not be exclusively to our advantage , and that it may probably be more to the advantage of the foreign manufacturer than our own , should have some influence with those who are now earnestly recommending the policy of encouraging the production of cotton in our Indian territories . — Daily News .

The Gibraltar Cable.—The Board Of Trade ...
The Gibraltar Cable . —The Board of Trade will receive tenders on the 8 th October for the manufacture of the outer covering , as well as the laying , of the proposed submarine telegraphic cable from JTalmauth to Gibraltar . Russian Trade with China . — This trade is now about to undergo a great change , according to Sir John Bowring . It has flourished as far as any trade can flourish under the baneful Influence of monopoly . Whether from commercial , political , or other motives he did not know * but in view of the great prospective change alluded to , it is perhaps not undesirablo that tho British merchant should anticipate the state of things which is coming on in
consequence of tho late treaties which Russia has made with China . It should be made known that . Russia , formerly having a monopoly of the inland trade with China , was not permitted to oarry on commerco with what were called the five treaty ports opened to British trado by Sir II , Pottlnger . Their trade was confined to a single locality in tho north-western part of China , ' and the whole of their trade was in the hands of certain monopolists , who enjoyed special privileges from the Russian Governmentenormously to the prejudice of the Chinoso people . He ( Sir John ) had found that Russian manufactures had made their way poouliarly-in China— -there were mapy towns in which he -dfa not flhd any English woollens , in which he found' there was a considerable Bftlo ^ fbr tho woollens of Muscovy . There were
English houses disposed to deliver the tea in Russia at 7 s . or 8 s . a pound . The Russians , however , with admirable sagacity , are using the elements which have been presented to them in China with a foresight and anticipation of future benefits of which by and by there would be seen the development . Representing only the interests of peace , they have obtained vast ' possessions in Chinese Tartary , and the time is at hand in which they will have to anticipate the new position of Russia . Russia is at present excluded from the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Dardanelles and the Bosphoru * . , It iS impossible that Russia can make her way there unless on amicable terms with Prussia and the maritime Powers .

¦ ¦ ——? ' ——The Earl of Caithness delivered a lecture on Thursday evening , in the Hall of the Free Church College , Aberdeen , the proceeds being devoted for the benefit of the Industrial schools . Lord John Russell is not well enough yet for the exertion of visiting Aberdeen . we believe Lord John Russell , who will be the giiest of Mr . Thompson , ex-M . P ., on the occasion , will probably be at Aberdeen about the 27 th inst ., to receive the freedom of the city . The Tuscan Government has by a decree of the 15 th , raised Major-General Garibaldi to the rank of Lieutenant-General .
The Bishop of Bangor , accompanied by a beneficed clergyman , entered the house of an humble cottager , when the following colloquy took place : — Clergyman—John Jones , I have called to introduce the Lord Bishop to you . Bishop ( taking hiin cordially by the hand)—How do you do , John Jones , ? I hope you are in good health ? John Jonea-r—Thank you , my lord , lam very well in health , and as comfortable as labouring men generally are . Mr . —— -has been good enough to introduce your lordship ; perhaps your lordship will be good enough to introduce him to me , for I never saw him . in my house before .
The Scindidn announces the failure of Messrs . Warwick , Waller , and Co ., of Kurrachee , who have been compelled to suspend payment ,, with liabilities variously estimated at about Its . 80 , 000 . The cause of their failure is attributed to losses sustained by the charter of vessels , a branch of trade in which they seem to have speculated , rather too sanguinely , and , we may add , precipitately . The statue of Gioberti , which has been erected in the Piazza Cariguaiia , opposite the Chamber of Deputies , at Turin , has been uncovered and the scaffolding removed . No one would ever imagine that the statue represented an ecclesiastic—the artist having treated his subject , even in the minutest details , as a laic . He holds in his hand , his celebrated work , " II Primato d'ltalia . "
At the General Post-office there is a letter from Magenta addressed to " Signor Dearest Brother , London . " It need hardly be said that the authorities have not succeeded in delivering it . The fight between Sayers and Brettle canie off on Tuesday , at Etchingham , Wadhurst , near Hurstgreen , Tom Sayers winning in seventeen minutes , after seven rounds had been fought . Brettle , who had received very little punishment , ctfold not afterwards be brought to the scratch , having unluckily dislocated his shoulder in a falL The stakes were j £ 400 against £ 200 , tho greater amount being of course on Sayers , who pockets the £ 200 . the electrical
Interesting observations on properties of the aurora have been made by the telegraphic operators throughout America , Both at Boston ( Mass . ) and at Richmond ( Va . ) messages were sent over the lines by the agency of electricity in the atmosphere , the batteries being entirely disconnected , The Madras Spectator understands that Salar Jung , tliq Minister at Hyderabad , has requested from the British Government an account of their stewardship of the Ceded Districts during 1 the past Jflve years . Tho account for 1858-59 in West Berar is most favourable , exhibiting a balance of revenue of Rs . 11 , 33 , 554 , after the payment of charges to tho extent of Rs . 331 , 003 . Tho receipts at the Grand Stand during the Doncaster meeting amount to ' about 8 , 200 / ., or 300 ? . less than last year , notwithstanding , in the opinion of many , tho attendance was quite equal to former
years . On passing Tarifa ( a' small village on the coast of Spain , and near to Gibraltar ) the Spaniards fired at tho English schooner Jenny Lind , of Hull , doing considerable damago , though fortunately no lives wore lost . Tho shot struck tho starboard gangway rail , and Vent through both boats , and also completely cturied away tho port rail . Tho cause of this extraordinary conduct is as yot unknown ,
An effort is making in certain quarters to institute musical entertainments in the New < Tork Central Park on Sundays . The originators of the project have hardly sufficient influence to give the movement the character and prestige necessary to insure its success . The discharged men of the 3 rd Madras Europeans , we are told , want to leave their dark wives behind them , as they say the English climate will not suit them . This , a friend remarks , is marriage with limited liability ! Difficulty is anticipated in getting the men away , from Bundlecund during the rains .
Some three months since , the heaviest overland mail that was ever dispatched to the East consisted of 186 boxes . This number , however , was much exceeded on Monday night , for no less than 204 boxes were shipped on board the mail packet at Dover , and were conveyed to Calais , en route to India , China , the Mauritius , and Australia . The re-examination of George Hackett , late steward to the Earl of Stamford and Warrington , on a charge of conspiring with James Parrish , jun ., of Enville , to defraud the noble Earl , his master , of no less a sum total than about £ 1 , 400 , took place yesterday at Stourbridge . After hearing some further evidence , the magistrate decided on committing Hackett for trial at the next Staffordshire
. A fire broke out this week in the premises of Mr . Solomon ,, walking stick manufacturer , Hoxtonsquare , and the flames speedily extended to the premises of Miv J . B . Butter worth , artificial flower maker , No . 49 , in the same square . The engines speedily arrived , but the firemen were unable to get the flames conquered until the workshops and all they contained were destroyed . The Swiss Federal Council has come to a decision to have the troops assembled at Aarberg officially inspected by two of its members . M . Staemfli , President of the Confederation , and M . Fornerod have been fixed on for this mission , which is one of rare occurrence in Switzerland .
Arrival of Mr . Grantley Berkeley in New York . — Among the fashionable arrivals at the Clarendon-hotel in . this city we are pleased to record that of the Hon . Grantley Berkeley , the celebrated English hunter and sportsman . This gentleman has visited the United States for two purposes , which may yet be called one , seeing how intimately they are connected . His first design is to proceed to the West to hunt the elk , the antelope , the buffalo , and the other animals which hold undisputed possession of pur extensive prairies and forests . For this purpose he has brought his hounds , and he intends to enter with spirit into the sport , so that he might find abundant material for his " adventures , " which he proposes to send to the Field , the sporting paper
of the English metropolis . His next intention is to visit all the western farms andL plantations , and to witness the operations carried on upon them in regard to the care and rearing of stock . There can be no doubt the honourable gentleman will meet with a warm and generous reception from the truehearted and sturdy sons of the West , who will gain a great deal of information from him concerning English sports , in all tlie branches of which he is so proficient ; while on hi 3 part he will not fail to gather some useful practical lessons from tho hardy American sportsmen of that beautiful country . Let the western sportsmen brighten their rifles and keep their powder dry , for the hunt will soon begin . — Neva York Herald . .
