LOSS OF THE INGLIS EAST-INDIA MAN.-The Java, Indiaman, which arrived on the 29th ult. in the river, off Blackwall, from Singapore, brought home a portion of the crew of the Inglis East-Indiaman, which was wrecked in the Straits of Sunda, in the month of January last. From them have been learned the following facts:-The Inglis formerly belonged to the fleet of the East-India Company, and was a fine teak.built ship of 1,300 tons burden. Since her departure from England in 1841, she has been engaged in trading between India and China, and her last passage, in January last, was from Bombay to Chusan, with a cargo of cotton and other merchandise, of the value of about 30,000. On the 10th of the month, while pur suing her course through the Straits of Sunda, off the island of Java, she encountered the dreadful hurricane which proved so fatal to many English ships, and despite every effort, was driven on a ridge of rocks, and eventually became a total loss. After some difficulty the crew, about 170 in number (the chief portion of whom were English), succeeded in reaching the shore in the boats, when they were most hospitably treated by the Dutch governor. They were lodged in his house, and a bark was provided to convey them to Batavia, on their return to India. Scarcely, however, had they been on the island a few days, before that frightful malady, termed the Java fever, began to manifest itself amongst them; the whole of the ship's company were attacked with it, and ere it could be subdued, no less than eighty of the ill-fated crew, including the commander, perished. The Dutch authorities used their utmost endeavours to soothe the sufferings of the poor fellows, and what were left of them were promptly forwarded from Batavia to Singapore in one of the Dutch Government steamers, where they were provided passages to their respective homes. - Globe.

carry on the cultivation of their land on much more moderate terms than Europeans, it may be afforded at rates which will bring it into consumption in this country. The part of India, however, which appears best calculated for the growth of the American varieties of the cotton plant, and where their culti vation has been most extensively and successfully prosecuted, is the cotton district lying in Central India, to the eastward of Bombay, where the climate is favourable to the plant, being neither too dry nor too moist, and where experiments on a large scale are still proceeding, at the expense of the East-India Company. These experiments are under the direction of Mr. Mercer, one of the American planters sent out a few years ago; who, last year, had 3,000 acres under cultivation, and expected to have this year about 20,000 acres, all planted with New Orleans cotton. But the cultivation is not confined to the experimental efforts of Mr. Mercer, for the ryots in the district have taken it up, and find the New Orleans cotton plant quite as profitable as any unirrigated crop which they produce. There are also saw-gins in active operation, under Mr. Mercer's management; and it is expected that some of the cotton, grown and cleaned in the district, will speedily make its appearance in the Liverpool market. Hitherto, however, the produce has been sold to the native manufacturers, who have discovered its superiority over the produce of the indigenous plant, and give very good prices for it, for making their own fabrics. It is very unfortunate, at present, that the district of India apparently most favourable for the cultivation of improved varieties of cotion is most unfavourably situated for communication with the coast; being some distance inland, and possessing so navigable rivers or good roads, by which produce can be readily conveyed to market. Should the great line of railway projected between Bombay on the western and Coringa on the eastern coast of India, be con structed, of which, we believe, there is little doubt, it will pass through the centre of this district, and furnish a ready and cheap means of conveying cotton to Bombay; and we may then hope for such an extension of the cultivation as to diminish the almost exclusive dependence which our cotton manufacturers are compelled to place upon the crop of the United States. This extension might, no doubt, be greatly promoted by the applica tion of European capital and skill,-not to the growing of cotton, for that will be most cheaply carried on by natives,-but to the purchasing, cleaning, and packing it for exportation.-Manchester Guardian.

THE INDIAN MAIL AT BOULOGNE.-Awful complaints are made of the treatment of the Indian Mail on its arrival at Boulogne. The officer in charge of it is obliged to go begging with the letter-bags, before he can find any steamer that will take him and his baggage for the shabby sum that the Government allows him to cross the Channel. While the Times has a boat, at £15 a day, waiting to bring over its separate express, and the Herald goes to the same expense for the same purpose, the British Government allows its officer only a £5 note, to make the best bargain he can with any one who will take him as a passenger. One day the unfortunate man was compelled to go to sea in an open boat, a party of fishermen having agreed to get the poor fellow and his letters across somehow or other, for the shabby stipend that he was enabled to offer them. however, came up, and the Indian Mail, with the officer in charge, were nearly going to the bottom, when the packet, returning from carrying over the Times despatch, picked up the representative of the British post-office, and towed him with all his letters back to port again. The posi tion in which he is sometimes placed by not being able to go higher than a "five-pun note" for his conveyance across the Channel, is sometimes very distressing. He is obliged to haggle with steam-boat captains, and very frequently gets hooted after by the very cabin boys, as "the cove what wants to go across by hexpress, and harn't got the money to pay for it." Sometimes he has a row in broken French with the owners of the fishing-boats, and he has been several times threatened with the fate of the Noyades, for offering a paltry cent vingt cinq francs for what the mariners declare vaut bien mieux que cela, on account of the importance of the expedition, and the danger attending it. Something should be done immediately to provide the means of safe and speedy transit for the Indian Mail on its arrival at Boulogne.-Punch.

CULTIVATION OF COTTON IN THE EAST-INDIES.-We have lately received some information respecting the cultivation of improved varieties of cotton in the East Indies, which will not be without interest to the great bulk of our readers. We have stated on former occasions that the experiments made in the cultivation of the American cotton plant had failed, and up to a certain point that was generally the case. Upon the rich and strong lands of Bengal, and some other parts of the Peninsula, the experiments had been unsuccessful, owing partly to the plant running too much to leaf, and partly to the attacks of insects; whilst on some drier soils the plants had been nearly destroyed by the excessive droughts of the two first years, which at the same time very injuriously affected the grain and other crops. It appears, however, that in the neighbourhood of Coimbatore, in Southern India, better success has attended the experiments, very good cotton having been grown, though hitherto at a cost which would render the cultivation unremunerative. It is thought, however, that when grown by the natives, who can
