From the Chars. :Mercury. THE COTTON CROP OF 18 48-9. So much has been said concerning the over production of Cotton. and so vivid have been the apprehensions tha the mar kets tIlhe world would Ise glutted with the article, that we trust we will be ex eased for devoring a portion of our space to an analysis of the present year's Iran sactions in our great staple. if what we may say will throw any light upon a sub ject in which so maty of our readers are interested, or lead to any useful results, we shall reel that the room occupied has been beneficially disposed of. The propable extent or the present crop has been a subject of alarm from the cotim mencement of the season. and a yield of 2.700.000 hales was anticipated with very gloomy forebodingci by many, as calcula'ted to glut the markets at the world, and effect an unprecedented depreciation in value. The existence of war on tile continent of Europe, lte unsettled condition of France. and the blot-kade of the ports in the Baltic. were expected to agcravate the evils of this over-prodoctioni, by paralying trade. andi stopping the wheels of the consu merd. in the struggle to edcape fr'om these lon pending danigers. merchants and plan era began to press their coton on the miarkets. and to sell at any price diat they couldl obtain; and as their very eagerness to sell rendered the manufacturers only tile mtire indiff-rent abot b'eying. it is not in lie wondered at dint pricessh.uld have fallen to pintsi of extreie depression. When in this patnic of sauve qui peut. prices htad fallen to 5 a 51 -r Fair ceittin in Char leston, and correepondling rates elsewhere. the planters began to reflect whether it inight not be as prutlent to hold their cot. ton as part with it no prices wholly Unre munerative, and with the very first indi cation of this feeling, prices began to tentd upward; and now. when all those evils should he upon us from ntwhieh we were trying to escape by sacrificing our staple. there is ant absolute scarcity of ctron mi I the country. and the price if Fair is 8J. Let us exatince what ha-t le-ome of this crop, eslimated at 2.700,000 bales, atd the aunnnt of stock which Liverpool. the great Cottin tarket, is likely to lie burdened with: Since the fiest of September lost. tip to June 22. we have r-ceived 2.036.000 hales and of this we have exported to Great Branin. - 1.450.000 From the Gulf ports between the Ist of Sepiembier and 10th Noweimber. :tnd tie Allautic part* to the 17th Nomvemh.-r. we exported to Great. Briinin 160.0100 btles. and we asstme th-it ihuse impltrI4 rpehee Liverpool before Jaenunry I, i8-9. and were coutt ited in la t % ear's iipmts . tn ti will, conseqetn'iv, nt a opletr i tuis y-air's imnports. Thie W'lli leave 1.290.000 From Jatu-try.

The entireo stock itt our sea arts (exclndine New York) aned on ship Noard is but 1-26.000 hales, tand therm are 20 ships loadiner fir Fraence and the Con tinent against 27 for Greait Brittain. The growing crop is thtmee or four weeks lateri than usual, and we car. count only otn a very moderate export of new Ciotto lire. vio-us to the 10th atnd 17th of' November next. In our opinion 125.000 batles is qutite a large estimate for the export to Liverpool ter that period. wrhieb, added to 826,000 will give as the supply of -* American Cotton in Liverpool from June 1 to Januairy 1. 1850. 951,000 We will now view her wants. There were taken at Liverpool for consumpitiont from Jann,. arv 1 to ist June. 22 weeks, 546.000 bales, anti fir expolrt during satne period. 69.000 bales. makinig 615.000 hales, or 28.000 per week of Amer lean Cotton. In tihe same ramio. the want, of the re maining smoen mnonceh, or 30 weeks, will require 640,000 bales. which wo'uuld lentve as the stock otn hand ott 1st January next. 111.000 bales. against 235.000 has rn the 1st January. 18l0, anid -21,000 on the 1st January.,184S.

If the crop, of last year reach 2 700,000 bales. which is scarcely proba ble, there is yet to receive up to Ist Sep tember, 60,000 bales; and of Cotton ol thi new crop. we may receive at :hte Gol port up to November 10, nid Atlantic porte, November 17, say 150,000 bales. making together. 210.000 ales. atnd added ti the paresent stuck of 253,000 halee, woul.l make 463,000 Of this we have give Great Britainl 125 000 France iln(d Continent 40.000 165.000 298,000 Tite consumption of the United States to i7tl Novcmber, 21 wresks, at 11,000 per week 231,000 Letvingt. as the agregate stock in all ilte poris and Inland towns of ite Ur-ited States on tlhe 17th Nov-m'aer next 67,000 baleso, itgninst 319.102 bales at the sain perimi lust year. and 273,84G bales in 1847.
