THE DAILY DISPATCH -» C wmiwKtewt .m th« Dttyatfk. March iH e other aud it* Accident*—A Sketdi. of the Mi* tory of Cotton—lnteresting State ment*. The March weather has made its mark in slippery pavements and broken heads and limbs. The day has been very disagreeable, and liable lc induce sickness, but to-night is pleasant and moonshiny, a:id restores our good humor. The montltl?' meeting of the New York His torical Society was held this evening, at the Univer*ity,nnd as the subject of the evening was one of peculiar interest, whieh will attract the attention of Southern readers, yeu will par don me fur introducing a brief sketch of the main points of a capital paper, rend by Mr. John G. Dudley, of this city, apon trie "Histo ry of Cotton and the Cotton Mauufecture."— Abounding in statistical and historical, as well as biographical information, this paper will have a permanent value. J will a few passages. The early history of cotton is invoked in considerable obscurity. It is not mentioned in the Hebrew writings, nor ia the Bible, its first nttice by the ancients is by Herodatuc, in his History of India. Its use afterwards /ex tended through Persia and the Chinese ,Em pire. Paper was first made of cotton by.the Chinese, aod a knowledge of the manufacture was conveyed to Europe by Saraccus. Then, machines for spinning cotton were invented, and applied with great success. Many of these inventions were curious and remarkable. The iUventor of the''spinning jenny," an English man, named Hargraves, continued to construct machines until the year 1790, when he died.— At (his period, the era of England's great manufacturing interests. Richard Ark wright early manifeeted a stiong predilection for mechanics. His natural disposition was ardent, earnest and obstinately persevering.— Poverty did not allow bioi to prosecute his first invention. Fearing a repetition of the per secutions which had befallen the attempts of Hargraves, from the narrow-minded anniinosi- i ty of the working-classes, who feared that j their employment would be restricted by his ; machines, Arkwright retired from his resi dence at Piesbar, and prosecuted his investiga tion at Nottingham. In 1774, Puliament made the first Legislative acknowledgement of Eng lish manufactures, consisting entirely of Cot- Cardiz was imperfectly known until 1775, when Arkwright obtained a patent. The scutching-machine was introduced in Man chester in the year 1808. Arkwright com bined all the inventions of a series of machines which now perform all the labor of preparing cotton, without hand-labor, and to him we are largely indebted. The next inventor of distinction, was Rich- Erd Crumption. The self-acting mnle, a ma chine received with much favor, was the in vention of Mr. Roberts, of Manchester. In 3785, was invented a power-loom which was the model of those now in use; the inventor, Mr. Cartwright, received from Parliament a gratuity of £10,000 as a reward for his inge nuity. Machines for the manufacture of laces, present an interesting Held of inquiry; the value of the cotton annually employed iu this branch of labor in England, amounts to about $13,000,- 000. The art of bleaching was long imper fectly known, [until a Swedish chemist dis covered the chemical agents necessary to the process. It is believed that the practice of calico-printing was not introduced into Eu rope until the seventeenth century, and it was unknown in England until the year 1675.— The cotton manufacture arose in England at a critical period of her history. She had lost her American colonies, and was embroiled in wars with France. By her insular position, she was enabled to prosecute and protect her manufactures. The profits of her looms and mills, added to her other sources of increase, produced the means of pushing forward her conquests on the continent. The energy of Napoleon was no match for the genius of Ark wright, Hargraves and their compeers. The present statistics of the cotton mnnufacture in England indicate a rapid and healthy growth. The uutubei of cotton factories in that coun try, is 1,932, containing 20,977,017 spindles, an immense number of power looms, and fur nishing the means of support to not less than 1,000,000 persons. So the manufacture enlarg es and enriches the British Empire. To our own country, however, the cotton manufacture owes most of the benefits and arts it has received. The early inventions of Eli Whitney, the inventive genius of Samuel Slater, the valuable discoveries which have from time to time taken place, were sketched in a very interesting manner, by Mr. Dudley, ihe author of this paper. The growth of Lowell and the manufacturing towns ef the country, was spoken of at length. This part of the history is better known, and need not be here recapitulated. Your readers will find much interesting matter in the essay of Mr. Dudley, it will re pay perusal and preservation. Yours, M. Correspondence of the Dispatch. "The Visit of the Baltic." Washington, March 3d, '52. The Baltic left us this morning at 9 o'clock. The necessity for her early departure is well understood. It is universally regretted that her stay could not have been protracted, in consequence of the limited time allotted to her continuance in our waters. Mr. Collins did 7iot deem it prudent to throw her open to the public generally; this unavoidable act has oc casioned much bad feeling among a numerous and highly respectable portion of our commu nity. The sole and only object of Mr. Collins, at least his special purpose was, to exhibit his noble ship to the members of Congress, in or der to give them some conception of the vast outlay and expense incident to the construc tion and raaintaiuance of such a vessel. It will be recollected that Mr. Collins has a me morial now before Congress, praying an addi tional compensation for mail Bervice ; and that members might act—iu the premises—under- he wished to afibrd them an oppor tunity of "seeing for themselves" this incom parable specimen of American skill and inge nuity, and forming an estimate of the immense cost and expense requisite to her continuance in the service. Unquestionably this move was suggested by motives of interest and poli cy—though not without a considerable outlay of the private funds of the company. Yet had Mr. Collins remained, the entire period, he purposed, on leaving New York, it was his in tention to afibrd each, and all, who desired it, an opportunity of minutely examining every department of his magnificent ship. No man regrets more than Mr. Collins, the imperative necessity for his sudden departure; and I respectfully submit, that if our skillful and intelligent mechanics will view the matter in its proper light, no umbrage will lie taken at the course which, from prudential consider ations, Mr. Collins thought proper to pursue— e» an evidence of Mr. Collins' high estimate of the mechanics of our country,!add his hap py reply to a sentiment offered at the colla tion on board ship, on Wednesday. A gentle wen present toasted "the Mechanics of New York,'- and Mr. Collins was called on for a ™ply. w t have no reply to make to that toast," Xi *P f *kJur the mechan ci of Xeu> iork." And she does speak, in l"" gUh y ! eloquent than words, in her im doiiU?— h ' and majestic pro- J»ortwjp, her fast and exquisitely finished aia -0 * ' ! chinery ; her (rorjreou* and magnificent eoui|- I menu and ap|>»int*ueiita; her cabins and tn> j loom of potmhed fiwwood »»d costly mir rors; all proclaim fhe faci lhat in this noble ship, American mechanism has achieved a brilliant and lasting triumph. On Mond&y and Tuesday, the ship was put her prettiest trim, <«r the reception of invited i guests; bountiful coßutions were prepared for ! <he visiters. As it was understood that the 1 President and other distinguished functionaries 4»auld visit hrr on Tuesday, many, unfortu nately, delayed their viait until this'day ; as a oensequence, the ship was crowded to excess, and but few hr.d the gratification of examining Uer satisfactorily in ail her parts. I regret to j add, too, that the proprieties and courtesies ; usunlly observed in refined society, were grossly outraged by but a few who would be | known by the sobriquet of gentlemen. The observed hundreds of ladies stand ' ing ic the dining saloon patiently waiting for j the pieces of as many gentlemen, who were ■ comfortably seated at the table devouring wilh i much gusto, the sumptuous viands prepared Wy theg-enerous proprietor. Nor was this all; the wiue circulated freely; the itpronr became more ir*U:is«; the brain of many an "Honora ble" reeled with excitement; and inanv a "Miss" even gave unmistakable signs of an indulgence, that wonld hardly have.been cotn ! mended or approved by Father Matkew or hia i disciples: i.it? was an exhibition not-set down i in the progre;nme ; and, although I abominate 1 prudery as Nick does a prayer book, yet I very much question if our distinguished New ! York visiters ivill return home with e very i exalted sense of the polish or refinement of ; fashionable lifei,: the metropolis. As the evening waned, the uproar at tl.e ta bles, became more and more tumultuous; and hundreds left the saloon wiih a precipitancy, that indicated their,disgust at a scence char acteristic, rather of ,c drunken debauch than a social gathering of lis chivalry and fashion of tie land. I extenuate in nothing; nor do I set augiit in maliee; in sorrow and pity, ratber than anger do I chronicle facts, which arete be as deeply deplored, as they are widely knowa in this c ity. Let tne add, that the prof rietors of the mail line, generously tendered the use of the beuuti ful stealer Haltiinore, (Cap*. McCausland,) to Mr. Cth'Jins, during the easire day, Tues day—she was dressed in holydav attire for the occasion—slie almost conscious, as she gaily moved from her of the rich and precious freight she was wafting to the noble ship as sat proudly lay at her anchor age.

Norris: Dear Madam—lt gives me great pleasure in recommending to public favor your valuable medicine (Cedar Tar) as sn excfl lent preventative or curative in the tirst si-cs c* bionchial affections, or diseases of the lungs, and aho as a very valuable tonic. Yours, very respectfully, T. H. WRIGHT, M. D. Home Testimony. Dr. William C Crump, Dentist, of this city, has been suffering from Consumption of the Lungs for thel«sttive ors'x years, and has tried almost every article resemmended in his case, without any real benefit. When the Cedar Tar was advertised for sale in this city, lw purchased a bottle, and imme diately derived benefit from its healing and strength ening properties. At the time tie commenced ta king it, he was very iow, inasmuch that he was obliged to give up his offi -e for practice. He is now so much relieved, that he is able to attend to impatient!, and, by continuing the medicine, he confidently hopes to be fully restored. Dr. C. hat kindly volunteered that his case should be made public, that others might be benefitted. There are others who are taking the Cedar Tar with decided benefit, who can be referred to, besides a number of Physicians iu Baltimore, who are administering it in their daily practice.

O. FAMRttL* „ CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT, la earning counterfeit* to spring hp *U over the country, spreading their baneful influence over tne land, robbing the pocketa of the hone*t and un respecting, by ixnpoaing upon them worthless and poisonous traab, for the genuine H. O Farrelrs Arabian Liniment. Fellow Citizenat Look well before you buy. and aee that the label of the bottle has the letter* H. G. before Farrell'*, for if it baa not it ia cocntehfkit. The label around each bottle of all nay liniment reada thua, "H. G. Far rell's Celebrated Arabian Liniment;" and my sig nature is written upon the label alao, and these word* are blown in the glaaa bottle, "H G. Far rell's Arabian Liniment, Feoria." Tbia truly great medicine atill goea on, conquer ing disease, and snatching many a poor, powerless victim from the grave. By ita powerfully stimu lating, penetrating and Anodyne qualities, it re stores the use of limbs which hn\e been palsied lor years; and by its singular power of repro ducing the Synovial Fluid or Joint water, it cures al! diseases of the Joints with surprising rapidity. For Rheumatism, and affections oi the Spino and Spleen, it has proved itself a specific ; and for affections of the Lungs, Liver and Kidneys, it is a most valuable and powerful auxiliary ; also, for all diseases of the Glands, Scrofula, Goitre or Swelled Neck, itc. &c. And indeed for almost anv disease where an external application ia required, this medicine stands unparalleled. From the Hon. Peter Minard, one of the Oldest Set tlers in Illinois. It gives me pleasure to add my testimony to the virtues of your great medicine. One of my blood ed horses had a swelling over the cap of the knee, about the size of a hen's egg. Some said it was a strain, and some, that it whs the joint water from the kne, and could not be cured. I tried oil cedar on it, and all the liniments and ointments, and they did no more good than water. I then, by per suasion of my friends, tried H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, and I was bappy to find it take effect after a few days, and it finally cured the noble ani mal entirely. 1 think it is decidedly the greatest lininunt for horse as well a3 human flesh, I ever knew. [Esq. Barker, of New Canton, 111, says:J Mr. H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment has cu-ed some bad cases here, which every other remedy bad failed in; one was a white swelling and con tracted cords in the leg of a boy twelve years old. The leg hau withered away, and was so contracted that hp had no use of it. Three doctors had tried their skill upon it in vain,end heieas fast sinking to the grave, when the boy's father was induced to try H.G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. Before the first bottle was used up he came into Mr B.'s store, and the first words he said were, " Mr. Barker, 1 want ail that Liniment you have in the store; the one bottle I got did my boy more good than all that had everbeen done before." Thatboy is now welland hearty, and has free use of his legs. It is good for sprains, bruises, cuts, burns and swellings. Being fully satisfied that H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment is the best medicine in the world, I cheer ful ly recommend it. I had been afflicted for 16 years with a most severe pain in my breast and shoulders, which was so bad that I could hardly do any work at all, and would often have to lie in bed for two weeks at a time with it. 1 used your lini ment on it, and it cured me sound and well. I had at the time of using your liniment, one of the worst coughs ever I had in my life; and it cured that too. 1 rubbed it in well over my breast and shoulders. It is also excellent for frost-bitten feet, sores, swellings, sore throat, mange, erysipelas, &c ISAAC CLAYTON. Kickapoo, Peoria co., El. To guard against impoiiticn, read the fol lowing car cfully: The public are particularly cautioned against a base Counterfeit which has lately made its appear ance, and is called by the Impostor who makes it, "W. B. Farrell's Arabian Liniment." This is a dangerous fraud, and more liable to dactive from his bearing the name of Farrell. Therefore be par ticular never to caU for it by the name •'Farrell's Li niment," for unprincipled dealers will imposethis SPURIOUS Mixture upon you for the genuine, but always ask for H. G. FAfiaELi.'s Arabian Lini ment," and take no other, as the genuine always has the letters H. G. before Farrell's, his signa ture is also on the outside wrapper, and these words blown in the glass bottle. "H. G. FAR RELL'S ARABIAN LINIMENT, PEORIA."

Stokes McElroyDear Sir—Hearing you are about offering your valuable Medicine for aale, 1 deem it my duty to you, as well as to the afflicted, tc offer my testimony in its favor, and of the extraordinary cure it made of me. It is known by many that I had for a long time a distressing Cough, accompanied by a very acute pain in my side, back and breast, with hijjh fevers and loss of appetite, and when my coughing would come on, I was so much prostrated that I could not stand, and I would raise a very large amount of matter, in pieccs almost as Urge as my finger, having the appearance of my lungs I finally got so weak that I gave up all hopes of evergettmg well. About that time I commenced taking your Pecteral Cor dial, more to please my friends than from any ex pectation of obtaining relief; but strange to say. Six Bottles made an entire eras of mk ; and 1 am fully convinced if I had not taken yourmedi cine, I could not have recovered.
