"~ Judge Cloeten net Dead I
It seems that we were too precipitate In
killing off ont old friend. Judge Ou>r*roj», the
other day. We are glad of It wi»h all our
bear v. We know of no maa whom bis coun
try. has friends aad society could base so Uly
•pared. Heta aot oaly aeidead, but perfect
|y well, and as soaad la mlad and body as he
toe been at any time within the twenty years
last past. We hope to see him shortly and
shake bim once more by the hand
We hope it is unnecessary to assure Judge
OLorrmi aad bia friends that there was no
intention on our part to sport witb so serioas
a subject. We relied on the Information of
another person, who was himself deceived,
and who would be as far as any man could be
from perpetrating such a hoax as this would
have be so had It been designed. We deeply
regret having been led into the error, although
we said uothiug, we are sure, iv our memoir,
nt which Judge Cloptow could take offence.
We have never seen greater pleasure than
all we nave spoken to have manifested at
finding that our intelligence was false.

The Greatest ef ear Public Works—lts
Success.
The Senate, on Thursday, passed, by 13 to
art, tbe James Biver aad Kanawha bill, as
amended by it previous to its defeat and re
consideration. This was a glorious act of that
body, for which it deserves tbe thanks and '
congratulations of the entire State. Previous
to the passage of the bill, au animated debate
sprang up on a motion by Mr. Nbwxan to re
consider tbe vote orderiug the bill to its en
grossment, with a view to Its amendment.—
This discussion involved the merits of the
bill, though Mr. Nbwjian disclaimed hostili
ty to it. The motion was supported by Messrs.
Towkbs aud NaaeoM, aud opposed by Messrs.
Job >son. of Bedford, and Doi o lass. These
two gentlemen sustained the great mea
sure iv a mauuer which did them credit
for ability and statesmanlike views. We
take pleasure iv according to them both tbe
meed of praise due to their iiigh positions.—
Mr. Johnson, in this instance, exhibited his
Wonted good seuse and just ideas of that pub
lic interest, to which be has, we believe, devo
ted hia clear intellect witb no selfish or merely
local considerations. To Mr. Uocolass is
due the honor of maintaining on this subject
an elevated position as the representative of a
constituency not directly interested in the
passage of the important measure, and who
are, from their natural ad vantages, independ
ent of the artificial aids of railroads and
canals. Tbey are only Indirectly interested
in it, in so far as it may be beneficial to the
general welfare of the Commonwealth. But
this was a sufficient interest to command his
patriotic and generous support. In giving
thus his aid to the measure, his conduct bears
an bonorable contrast with some who were
situated like hkn, but could not discern the
force of the high obligations which govern his
fealty to the Old Dominion.
Tbis great improvement involves in a larger
degree than any—or, we may almost say, than
nil others—ln the State, the welfare of Virgin
ia. The Senate has honored itself by passing
tbe bill. Its friends iv that body deserve to
be most gratelully remembered by the friends
of improvement In Virginia.
Yesterday, the House took up the bill as re
turned from tbe Senate amended, and prompt
ly concurring in tbe amendments, the bill is
now a law ! This is glorious ! We consider
that a brighter day has indeed dawned upon
our good oid Commonwealth! The Coving
ton and Ohio Bailroad is secured! the Water
line to the Ohio is secured!! Honor to the Le
gislature of 'Jfi-'OO!
The Redemption Act.
Tbe House of Delegates, ou Thui sday, asked
a committee of conference on the bill to reiieal
tbe act providing for the Redemption ot the
notes of Banks. We applaud the Senate for
Its firmness in refusing, thus far, to concur in
the propriety of repealing this important act—
an act more important than ever, as the num
ber of our Banks, larger than ever before, has
been multiplied by the present Legislature.—
This redemption law has worked admirably.
It has given us something like a convertible
currency, ulthough it does involve a conces
sion on the part of the public, viz: the pay
ment of a quarter per cent, to get specie, or its
equivalent tor it. Repeal it, aud we will have
nothing that deserves the name of specie pay
ments.
Toe number of the Banks is the solution of
the persistent manuer in which this motion
for the repeal of the act is pressed. Wheu it
was adopted it was tbe preterred of two pro
positions to promote the prompt convertibili
ty ut Bauk notes aud the accountability of
Banks. The other was to require all Banha
to pay out only their own notes at their coun
ters. One of these would certainly have pass
ed. Mr. Eomvniim, of Halifax, preferred the
measure requiring the redemption of Bank
notes at central points of trade, and witb his
able support and influence to guide their de
cision, the Legislature preterred it also. It
has operated well. It is somewhat like the
clearing-house system of New York, or that
exerted by that well-managed institution,
the Suffolk Bank, of Boston, both of wh eh
have done more to promote a healthy cou
dition of the curreucy aud keep a check on the
over-issues of Banks than auytbiug yet de
vised by State Legislatures. The same effect
is exerted iv Virginia by the redemptiou act.
It keeps a check upon tbe Banks—it keeps
down exchaugeat a permanent price—it rhscts
excessive discounts.aud prevents the swelling
the balance of trade agaiust us at the North
through extravagant purchases by our mer
chants—it helps to regulate commerce and
preserve that order and stability iv trade
which is iudispeusable to general prosperity,
and the most successful and steady progress
of every brauch and avenue of industry and
enterprise. Kepeal it, aud we lose these im
poriaui advantages. We shall have au un
convertible curreucy—we shall have ovei
baukiug and over-uadiug, and theu a pres
sure, a curtailment, a crash, wit hall thee \iU
and ruiu which follow iv their train.
We trust the Senate will stand firm. The
banks have grown numerous, aud are exciting
a powerful influence. But we think it is the
time ol all others when the dominant party
Ot tbe Legislature should maintain the prin
ciples so emphatically aud unvaryingly
avowed by it lv days past on the question of
banking. Keep tbe best checks we have upon
the system. Ho not surrender them and throw
the community back upon an uuregulated aud
confused curreucy that will subject them to
Incouveuience and loss, and bnug disasters
upon commerce.

Disbabli, Ihe elder, wrote a book about the j p
calamities of authors. We wonder somebody i
doss aot write one about the calamities of ia* ■
ventois. There la fully gw much root* fdi a
tpinted narrative aud sage reflect! ju la the v
one as In the other. jj
This desideratum Is. to some deirse, sup- t
plied by a writer In the London Quart, rty, who t
undertakes to give a history of tbe rise aad t
progress of the cotton manufacture in Lan
cashire, founding bis remarks upon a number c
of works that have lately been published in d
connection with that subject. Fron this ar- I
tide we leara that tbe maa who first invented t
the Spinning Jenny-or, rather, a machine r
answering to the description of the Spinning t
Jenny—was one Lewis Pail. Hs took ont a •
patent as early as 173b, and subsisted decent- j
ly by selling bis machines, which, it is to be (
presumed, were very rude affairs, for they seem \
never to have come into general use. The en- i
tire spinning of Lancashire was done by hand t
uutil the year 1707, when one Habokbavkr, a t
weaver at Stand-lull, near Blackburn, was c
led to conceive the first idea of the Spinning ;<
Jenny, as it now exists, from the accidental c
overturning of his wife's .spinning-wheel— \
He saw that the spindle continued to turnaa- t
ter it bad assumed a perpendicular position j
and it struck him at once that any number of 1
spindles might* be made to work in the same «
way, by meaus of a single wheel. He had al- ■
ready made several ingenious improvements l
iv the method of carding, aud he now t
added a machine for ruuning a do/en r
spindles at once to his other Inventions.— i
He kept his discovery a secret for some time, 1
standing in deadly fear of his enlightened t
neighbors, who all made a living by spinning t
wool and cotton for the loom, and not one of i
whom, he very well knew, was at all too good i
to burn him aud his new-fangled machine up i
together. It got out, however, and what he
feared came to pass with a vengeance. They j
did not, it is true, burn his house, but they «
broke his machines, and caused him te fly for *
his life. He went to Nottingham, where he (
assisted others to set up hi* own jennies, be- t
ing driven to it by absolute want. Here be !
was again assaulted, and bandied with such
severity by a brutal mob that his life was for
some time despaired of. He took out a patent
in 1770, but it appeared that before doing so he
had sold jeniiie.-, and thus rendered bis patent
of no value. He died in 1778, in great poverty-
Within a few years, two of his daughters were
living almost in the coudition of pauperis.
Mr. Hkothkkton endeavored to raise a small
sum for them by subscription among the man
ufacturers, many of whom had made enor
mous fortunes by his invention. He experi
enced great difficulty in obtaining barely
enongh to preserve them from starvation
Harorbayks called his machine after one of
his daughters, "Jenny,''and it goes by that
name to this day.
Another unlucky genius was Cno.Mi'TON,
the inventor of the "mule," as it is called.
This man was persecuted by the manufactu
rers to such a degree that he gave them his ■
invention upon their signing a subscription
paper promising to pay him a certain sum
each. The largest sum thus promised was
one guinea, the smallest two-and-six-pence
The names of eighty-five of the subscribers
have been preserved. Several of them after
wards amassed fortunes of several hundred
thousand pounds each, by the use of Cuo.vi'
ton's machine; yet, when called upon for the
amount of their subscription, some of them
refused. Crompton got about sixty pounds
for his secret, aud spent the rest of his life in
poverty. Parliament made him a grant of
£5,000, but it did not pay the expenses he had
incurred.
Askwkioht, who made the largest fortune
of modern times by manufactures, seems to
have been a very different man from most of
the inventors. He was a keen man of the
world, and a great organizer of labor. He was
not only an Inventor hiinsel*, but was quite
unscrupulous, apparently, in appropriating
the inventions of ethers.
The inventions of these men, and others
gave a prodigious impulse to the cotton trade,
.and buili up the town of Liverpool. This im
pulse was quickly felt, but it increased with
momentous rapidity and strength, as soon tv
Watt brought his steam engine to bear. In
1728, the total imports of cotton wool into all
the ports of England, from all parts of the
world, principally, however, irom the Levant
and the West Indies, did not amount to more
than three million pounds weight (six thou
sand bales.) and this was used up for caudle
wickes in a great measure. In ISS&, one cen
tury later, the quantity imported into Liver
pool alone exceeded one thousand millions of
pounds weight, or two millions of bales. Iv
1770 the entire receipt of cotton from ihe
whole United States was only three bags from
New York, four from Virginia and Maryland'
and three barrels from Noi ill Carolina. Four
litths of that imported in l-hcatuii from the
Halted States. This startling fact puts the
Reviewer into a reflecting mood. He says "it
is obvious from these facts that the cotton
manufacture is not without its perils. Princi
pally depending, as it does, for the supply of
its raw material, upon the slave labor of the
American republic—a country whose leading
public men have frequently sought of late
years to make political capital by trying to
pick a quarrel with England—looking also at
the concentration of a large mass of highly paid
artisans upon a branch of productive industry
which has no root either iv the soil of England
or in her own colonies—we think it must be
admitted that it contains elements of danger,
which, under certain circumstances, would
assume quite an appalling aspect! Iv the
contingency agaiu of a war with either Amer
ica or France, unless England could secure by
means of her maritime police the safe transit
to sea of tbe raw cotton inwards,and the man
ufactured fabric outwards, a state of things
would suddenly be developed throughout the
cotton manufacturing districts which the
mind shudders to contemplate."
Can any man doubt that cotton is king after
this { How "the maritime police " of Great
Britain is to secure the trausit of cotton from
New Orleans to Liverpool, when the Halted
States and England are at war, and uot a bale
of it can be shipped at the former port, nobody
but au Englishman and a reviewer knows,
and be won't tell. For our part, we give it up.
The Quarterly then tells what Mr. Ahh
wobtb, a man who has been writing Cromp
ton'b Life, says upon the subject: "The en
tire failure of a cotton crop,'' says Mr. Asm
worth, "should it ever occur, would utterly
destroy, and perhaps forever, nil the manufactur
ing prosperity umjsssmsj ; or should the growth
in any one year be only one million, instead of
three millions of bales, the mannfactuiing
aud trading classes would find themselves in.
volved iv losses which, iv many cases, would
amount to irretrievable ruin—millions of
our countrymen would become deprived of
employment and food—and, as a consequence,
the misfortune would involve this country iv
a series of calamities, politically, socially, and
commercially, such as cannot lie contemplated
without anxiety and dismay."
Huzza! lor King Cotton ! He is monarch
of all he surveys, and it is just ax impossible
to get beyoud the reach ot his long arm, us to
escape the decrees of late. Indeed, it is a de
cree of fate that l.c shall rule the world. Cot
ton and deatiuy are one aud indivisible. John
Bull tries to ignore the existence of the mesh
es that King Cotton has thrown arouYd him,
but he only succeeds iv rendering himself ri
diculous. Here is tbe Rev iewer'a plan for get
ting out of tbe scrape: " These considerations
strongly point to the necessity of encouraging
tbs growth of cotton in the B-itish Colouies,"
(we should think they did.) "iv India, Austra
lia and Africa," (not a word about Jamaica,)
* that we may escape the perils that seem to
attach to our relying ao exclusively for our
sepply as we do at present, upon the products
of Am.rlea. alavcry.» The cotton culture iv
this country ia the result of a vast system of
organized labor. Enormous capital ia em
ployed iv ii, aud the results of course are enor.

—thegradual improvement lv cultivation bo

the Government shall have expended about {
the amount of the national-debt, it may begin i
to establish something like a rivalry. J
(Jotton, however, is not all evil in tbe eyes i
ot the Quarterly. It has done apdw good In its
day. For instance: "Mr. Fortbb haa said,'it ,
ie to the splnnlng-jenny and the steam engine j
that we most look as having been the true
moving power of onr fleets and armies, and ■
the chief support also of a long-continued ag- !
ricultnral prosperity.' The gigantic efforts |
put forth by England during tbe last great (
Continental war could not have been made ■
but for the taxes levied on manufactures and
manufacturing incomes. It is remarkable
that notwithstanding the depletion suffered i
during that great crisis of our history, j
our population aud wealth increased at
a rate that had never before been exceeded or
even equalled." Aaain : " Figures can give
but a faint idea of the present actual value of <
the cotton manufacture as a branch of British
industry; but we will mention that th« total
value of the cottou manufactures exported
and retained for home use amounts to about
sixty-six millions' - (of pouuds sterling, three
hundred millions of dollar!-) '• yearly, and de
ducting the value of the raw cotton, which is
about Xt>(;,(»»Hi,nno fSjIeSgsSSjWP) there remains
in the country an annual sum of about forty
millions sterling, which i.< dis

try which mainly depend upon it for their ex
