Atm LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18. Yorkshire, to Belfast, to there is an introduction which tells more than i of the expectation of . by-and-by. One inspector carding machines in a Mae Which twelve do the work of ilikerkillista Natives, sad saving 10 itee 'wile. of waste. By the increasing use of self-acting apparatus as much as one-third of the human labour is saved in soma mills. A new mill is pointed out as having ad ventages which will save 10 per cent. in labour, besides a great economy of power, light, fuel, and fresh air. All this strongly resembles the case of the American industrial policy at this moment, and of the policy of every industrial department in modern times. The first result of the terrible English strikes in the early part of the century was the invention of labour-saving machinery. The same thing is going on in America now— even in the agricultursl districts of the West, where the war has made men scarce. New kinds and high degrees of agricultural machine work may be seen there which would astonish, we are told, even the advanced improvers of tillage in this country. Thus we see provision making already for a vastly extended production when the diffi culties of the hour are overcome. But this is not all yet. Alongside with the actual non-employment of Lancashire operatives, and with the preparation for a day, near at hand, when all the hands will be too few for the work, we see great seaults from the increase of a mate rial which is largely superseding cotton. Wool, flax, and certain kinds of silk have come into immense demand ; but the new vas of jute seems more portentous than all the rest together. We are told that the Dundee people are trying to keep quiet the present extraordinary state of their trade, but that the facts are such as must moon fix the attention of Lancashire, and indeed of the whole country.' Some Scotch speculators awhile ago set tip in France the business of spinning jute—labour being cheaper in France than at borne. The demand for this jute yarn from Dundee is said to be enor mous ; and it wall may be so if, as we are told, the price of the raw material is 20. par lb., while that of cotton is 2a. or half-a-erown—the Arrx• another sitting of more than three hours the Conference can hardly be said to have ad vanced • single step towards effecting the object for which it was assembled, the prospect of its agreeing on any satisfactory terms of peace being apparently as distant as ever. The divergence of opinion, not only between the belligerents, but be- tween Austria and Prussia and the neutral Powers, is so wide, that as yet they have not been able even to agree on any common basis of dis cussion. The German Powers repudiate altogether their treaty engagements towards Denmark, ae 'sifting that the war has liberated them from all international obligations relating to the Danish State, even those solemnly contracted in concert with the other Powers, and avowedly for European objects. On the other hand, the Danish Plenipotentiaries necessarily insist on the provisions of the London Treaty as binding on all its signatories, and in this view they are, of course, supported by the neutral Powers. It is clear, therefore, that unless Austria and Prussia modify the point of view in harmony with the judgment of the modiating Powers, the deliberations of the Conference can have no result, as there will be no opportunity of discussing any scheme of com promise, or even of bringing forward any really fair and conciliatory proposal. Any attempt on their part of the German plenipotentiaries to evade this preliminary difficaltyby refining on their obliga tion s under the Treaty, admitting them towards ' their co-signatories bat denying them towards Denmark, must in an assembly of practical nego- ' tiators necessarily fail. Such confused logic would not, of course, bear serious discussion. If the Powers who signed the Treaty of London are bound at all, they are of course bound towards Denmark, on whose behalf the treaty wee made. If the Conference, therefore, is to do anything at all, the Treaty of London must obviously be taken as a starting point ; sad it may be hoped that before the next meeting this preliminary difficulty will be so far overcome as to allow of the real business, the discussion as to terms of peace, being entered on. The interval affords ample time for reflection, as the Conference will not meet again until Satur day week, the 28th inst. More than half the time agreed upon for the cessation of hostilities will then have expired, and unless all preliminary difficulties are then overcome there will be little chance of the deliberations leading to any practical result. jute having superseded cotton in a pretty wide range of fabrics. We have heard from time to time of the Americana having given up the use of cotton for one article after another—ships' sail., bagging, kc. ; and now it appears that jute, of which India always affords an inexhaustible supply. is the material wanted and used in its place. ' The American " bagging" manufacture has oome over hither ; and Dundee could tell wonderful things about it. Then, there is not only a diversified use of jute yarn for bedding and other furniture, sod underclothing, but an application of it to ladies' dresses and gen tlemen's external garments. People are looking from the pressure of work in and about Dundee to the non-employment in Lancashire—from the prodigious profits in the Scotch district to the Relief Committees in the English, and asking whether thou cannot he a more equal distribution of work, wages, and profits. Thus does the scenery of industrial history vary, bringing a lesson with each change. The practical noes show themselves as occasion calls ; and it is strictly a practical use to study and note the facts for future guidance. WHEN the fact of the cotton famine could no longer be denied or disputed, and some people were naturally overwhelmed with dread of the consequences, others began to speak of the interest that would arise out of the operation of so unpre cedented a calamity in producing new phenomena, and some students of social history prophesied that durable good would spring out of the bitter root of a not undeserved adversity. There has been, within two or three weeks, so remarkable a disclosure of significant facts bearing upon certain industries, that the time has evidently come for noting how we stand. When we reckoned our ruined Lancashire operatives by the million it would have seemed strange to bear talk of a deficiency of that p arti cular sort of labour ; yet there were persons who foresaw it, both on the spot and at a distance. How stands the matter now f A two years' stoppage of the replenishment of any labour supply alters the proportion between the employing and employed class very essentially. In Lancashire the case is now very striking. While the needy manufacturers and very small capitalists have been driven out, no doubt to a considerable extent, large capitalists have been building new mills, or enlarging the old ones to an extent which promises to call for many thousands of hands before very long. Meantime, the supply of workers has been stopped from below. Boys and girls have not been trained to millwork for two years past. Again, considerable numbers of the mill hands have left the business, never to return to it. Some thousands have emigrated ; other thou sands have migrated to various parts of the kingdom. We bear now what must seem to those most con • corned very good news from the scenes of em ployment under the Public Works Act, and under several of the private improvers who are benefiting their estates and neighbourhoods by employing Lancashire men and boys. By practice the intel ligent operatives of that district have become better hands at their new work than rural labourers often are to the end of their days. They earn more than they have ever earned since the closing of their mill, and their health and strength have improved so much that they will bring up their boys to outdoor labour, and perhaps keep to it themselves. Of the women, meantime, some are picking cotton in Queensland, or making money in service in other colonies, or working in Scotch or Yorkshire manufactories, or, in not a few cases, trying for the first time in their lives to be housewifely and motherly in their homes. From these causes, and from death, there has been a great reduction of opera tive labour ; and, from its nature, it must be a somewhat durable diminution. Some contemporary phenomena are very striking. We know by the reports of the Factory Inspectors that " the mill " owners expect a trade of which no one has ever " yet seen the like." Till the proper raw material comes the "cotton waste," formerly supplied to the paper mills or thrown away, is worked up again, and keeps a considerable number of hands at the mill. While all means are used to keep the people on the spot, amidst strong incitements to move to 'ommerais is In my evidence fence separates without having laid down the balm of n treaty -of pews, the ceanaion will be at its height. We have predicted from the first that it is not between Denmark and Germany that the most violent debates would arise during the course of the war begun upon the Eider, and which will end we know not where if it should not end in London in the ball of the European Coefeesince. It can be seen now whether we were deceived. All that hatred can inspire in the way of bitter ex pressions is shown in the Loudon journals towards Prussia and Auatrig, in the journals of Vienna towards England and Prussia, in the jour nals of Berlin towards Austria and England. France alone is spared by everyone —or, rather, everyone solicits it to conquer something at its con venience. This justice will be done us also, that from the first we have told our readers that such would be the march of events and the progress of popular passions in Europe. We have even insinuated pretty clearly that what every one would offer us would be a small piece of Germany. g Take Cologne,' say the Eng lish, and you shall see how we will cry "Hurrah !'" Take Mayenee,' is the cry from the banks of the Danube—'that is the affair of the Federal Diet ; take even Cologne, into the bargain—that is the affair of Prussia. Take —take, and you will afford pleasure to us who cannot annex Holstein." Ho,' say the Berliners in a chorus, 'do not take Cologne, you will thus afflict good friends who do not wish you any harm. But why should you not take Hesse Homburg, Spire, and Landau I Bavaria would, perhaps, com plain a little, and the house of Heise also, but what doss that signify to us i Take—take.' The powers which make us these fine offers ask for leave to take a province or two as the price of their con descension ; but at the bottom the principal motive which urges them to aggrandise us is less the de in to gain something themselves, than the disin terested voluptuousness which they experience in main a neighbour and an ally." A London letter in the Temps, by Louis Blanc, recommends French people not to trust too much M the assurances of certain English prints, that England would see with equani-nity an encroach ment of France on the Rhine. Such opinions are, he says, in some cams the effect of very sincere but transient anger, and in others they are expressed only for the purpose of frightening Prussia. But he thinks that if France were seriously to act upon the permission affected to be given, public opinion in England would soon take another turn, and it would, moreover, be " deplorable" if France were to presume upon such fragile encouragement as the contents of a few newspaper articles to embark in a career of territorial conquests. He considers the true greatness of France to reside " rather in the sympathy she awakens than in the fear she may inspire ; in tbe power of her ideas rather than in the strength of her cannons ; in the extension of her moral influence more than in that of her territory." thekers an impression was very prevalent in the P•lais de Justice that the debate on the old affair of Lesurques, and particularly M. Jules Favre's speech, would so revive the feeling, always strong In France, against the punishment of death, that La Pommerais would get the benefit of " ex tenuating circumstances." The jury, how ever, have not . stultified themselves by ap pending such an anomalous qualification to • verdict finding the prisoner guiffy of a murder which he must have premeditated in cold blood for months before its execution. The false news of La Pommerais' acquittal was circulated at the Bourse, and obtained so much credence as to be taken notice of in this evening's Pays. The France notices rumours which are, I believe, not altogether unfounded, of ministerial changes being in contemplation. It does not think they have the character of what it calls a " proximate eventuality ;" and, at any rate, no new appointments are to be expected until after the close of the legislative ses sion. I believe no one knows what will be the tendency of the Emperor's next change of agents, but the impression is general ; and M. Boudet and one or two other ministers were never meant to hold their offices otherwise than as ministers of transition. A cabinet, of which Persigny and Haussmann should be the leading members, would, to my thinking, signify tyranny and extravagance. Persigny certainly seeks an opportunity to be re venged upon the large towns for voting against him is May, 1863 ; and Hauesmann is the representa tive, par e.ccellence, of that famous imperial prin ciple expounded by M. Persigny in his Rommel bucolic, the essence of which is always to borrow as much money as your revenue will enable yon to pay the interest of. How M. Fould and M. Rouher could get on with such consorts it is difficult to conceive. Fould, some months ago, tendered his resignation over and over again, bus was always made to withdraw it ; and of late be seems to have been resigned only to forget the economical doctrines propounded in the letter of 1861, on the strength of which be last came into office. A Havre journal lately mid that M. Rouher was disgusted with public life altogether, and would even resign his seat in the Senate. The great zeal he has lately displayed in answering the opposition speeches, does not, however, look as if his eloquenue was merely the dying strains of the swan. It can hardly be doubted that the Emperor is meditating some surprise ; and it would not be a surprise if people knew what he was going to do. As M. Jules Fav:e strikingly said the other day, the government orators who de fend the Emperor's policy in the Chambers are far the most part ignorant of it themselves. A mayor of a country village near Amiens—M. Bate!, Mayor of Flancourt—was found drowned in the Peronne canal on Thursday, and it is supposed that the vivid flashes of lightning in a storm which overtook him as he was walking home at 10 at night dazzled his vision, and caused him to tumble into the water. The Bourse is weak, and without business. The changes in quotations are insignificant .-(THIS DAY.) U.

A PRUSSIAN PROJECT. The Paris Prose says that the Prussian govern- ment is urging, as • condition of peace, the construction of a canal connecting the Baltic with the Northern Sea. "This canal," says the French journal, " is the Baltic free ; it is • considerable step towards the liberty of the seas. But this canal suppresses the sovereignty of Denmark over the Sound and over the Belie, and it takes from that country the keys of the Baltic to put them into the hands of Europe. Consequently, bow can Denmark, remaining master of the duchies, consent to this great work 1 It would be something like suicide. If, then, we ask the emancipation of the duchies, it is because this emancipation alone can give us the canal from the Baltic to the Northern Sea. What a victory for civilisation !" AUSTRIA. The Vienna Prose continues its censorious re marks upon the friendly feeling in England towards Denmark. The applause in the House of Commons is described as an " infamous tempest." England is accused of arrogance, egotism, brutal haughtiness, and complicity with the enemies of Germany ; and the Posse prays for the adoption of a policy "which even at the price of sacrifices proposes as its avowed object the chastisement of British in solence." But it is not only with England that dis satisfaction exists. The Austrian organs fulminate against the projects of annexation, or of a protecto rate, which the court of Berlin is supposed to entertain. The Ost Deutsche Post goes so far as to declare that Austria is now in complete antagonism with Prussia. If Prussia persists in its feeble attempts to carry off the duchies, this, says the Vienna Prase, is what will happen :—" France will increase its strength upon the Rhine, but some thing will be necessary for Austria, which could not but demand Prussian Silesia. In this case Russia would not wish to remain behind, and we may ex pect that she would claim the duchy of Posen and the part of Bessarabia taken from her by the treaty of 1856." (asoriges nuraauts.) ITALY. TURIN, MAT IL The Opinione of to-day denies the rumours that the negotiations for the sale of the government rail ways have been broken off.

THE Cowrzsasca.—The plenipotentiaries ac credited to the London Conference met yesterday at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, at 1 o'clock, and sat till 4 p.m. All the members of the Conference were present.
