TER great problem of how to meet the severe and increasing distress in the manufacturing dis tricts has now reached the stage which those who watched its growth have long seen to be inevitable . _ —that of formal legislative intervention. The application to Parliament for an exceptional ex pansion of the existing machinery for affording legal relief follows close on the organised appeal to those connected by property with the suffering districts which was inaugurated at Bridgewater- House on Saturday last. The urgency of the crisis not only imperatively requires both forms of relief, but will in all likelihood tax their available resources to the uttermost. Nor does the one at all necessarily interfere with the other. Legal relief can only be administered to those who have no means whatever of subsistence, while the main object of the voluntary effort commenced at Bridgewater- House is to assist those amongst the unemployed, or all but unemployed, operatives who are striving amidst bitter privations to keep themselves above the condition of paupers. This class is not only • ' large one, but includes amongst its members many of the best—the most sober, industrious, and in telligent—of the workmen employed in the mills. These men have supported themselves hitherto partly by means of their little hoards, which have been gradually withdrawn week by week from the Savings Banks, and partly by means of voluntary and private aid. The hoards in the Savings Banks are, as the returns show, almost exhausted, while casual local aid of a charitable kind has already been drawn upon very largely. If any considerable number of the operatives out of employment are to be kept above the condition of paupers, this can only be by the more extensive, complete, and systematic organization of voluntary effort contemplated at the Bridgewater - House meeting. But to ensure any reasonable amount of success, this voluntary effort must include not only large and numerous contributions, but a thoroughly searching and efficient local machinery for their distribution. Apart from this essential condition of its practical usefulness, benevolent effort on a large scale might eventually rather tend to increase than to diminish the army of silent sufferers which already crowds the avenues of legal relief. But whatever in the way of partial relief may be accomplished by voluntary effort, it is certain that the number of mill hands wholly dependent on the rates for subsistence is rapidly increasing every week, and may be expected to increase for some months to come. According to the statistics given by Colonel Panty, the increase is at the rate of from a thousand to fifteen hundred every week. This heavy pressure of course strains severely the existing machinery of legal relief, and at some of the chief centres of distress it has already become difficult, if not impossible, to col lect anything like the amount of the higher rate already levied. Under these circumstances it is not surprising that the Government should have felt it their duty before Parliament separates to make some provision for any emergency, any increased and overwhelming pressure of local distress that might arise during the recess. Three ways of meet ing this possible difficulty have been suggested—by parochial loans, rates in aid, and grants from the public treasury. The last plan is for the present at all events out of the question. Though the distress is in the truest sense a national calamity, its relief is unquestionably, in the first instance, a local duty, and the proportions of the calamity, though large, have not yet expended the ample local means that exist for meeting it. The Mayor of Manchester, at the meeting on Saturday, showed an honourable anxiety to clear the city ho repre sented from the suspicion of wishing in any way to evade the serious duties and responaibilities of the crisis. He assured the gentlemen as gambled that the wealth of Manchester was fully able to relieve the distress of Manchester ; and what is true of the chief town is equally true of the country at large. Mr. VILLIEJLB was thus justified in expressing his conviction that the pro- perty of the district would be equal to any emergency that might arise. Of the two other suggestions, that of parochial loans is open to the serious objection of con verting a temporary pressure into a permanent burden. Such a scheme if adopted would, in any case, heavily tax the industry of these districts for some years to come. The other plan, that of a rate in aid, seems therefore, on the whole, best adapted to meet the special wants of the crisis. It has the advantage of belonging to the body of existing law on the subject. It recognises the principle of local lia bility for local burdens, on which our whole legis lation proceeds, and simply extends its application under exceptional circumstances. If a particular parish is overburdened with distress, it may apply to the Union of which it is a inseinber foil' awe, and if a Union is p • ,insolvent, may in the same way recei Unions. The object f t t_ ~ Bin lotro=t lr . y t p se Mr. \qualms last net 41- lk- jive volpity to the principle and provisions o? the exist ing law relating to rates in aid, and to ful -1 litate their application under circumstances of severe and exceptional pressure :—" It " was with this view that the present Bill had 0 ' been introduced—namely, to carry into effect " that which had already been provided for by " the law of the land, that when any pariah " should be overburdened by excess of expendi " tore—when the account should exceed by two " thirds the expenditure which during the three " preceding years had been incurred in support of " the poor, then that parish should have a claim " on the common fund of the union, and the guar " diens should order contributions to be made to it. " The Bill proposed to fix a certain point beyond " which the common fund of the union should be " charged for the parish. He believed himself, " from having carefully examined the returns of " the value of property in the different unions, " that they would be quite sufficient to meet any " difficulty which could arise during the approach " ing recess." The Bill further provides that the burden of • distressed union shall be shared by the other unions of the county. It would be pre mature to discuss the special details of the mea sure, which were only alluded to last night. But the principle of the Bill is essentially equitable, and its leading provisions are well adapted to meet the special and prospective wants of the crisis. The Bill being exclusively provisional, it is proposed to limit its operation to the Ist of March next. Mx Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Jou 22.

PRUSSIA. The Berlin Gazette announces that, " for reasons which it is not yet possible to make public," the dissolution of the Chamber has been decided upon. " The Prussian government is firmly decided," nays a letter from Berlin of the 19th, " on quitting the customs union, if the states of the Zollverein refuse to accede to the treaty with France. It is this autumn that the conventions of the Zollverein must be denounced, awl in that case they will ex_ pire on the Ist January, 1866." RUSSIA. Advices from St. Petersburg state that the Emperor of Russia is shortly to prooeed for sea_ bathing to the neighbourhood of Riga. The young imperial princes aro already there. His Majesty will remain there until towards the end of August, and will afterwards go to Warsaw, and thence to Germany, where he will have a meeting with the foreign sovereigns. General de Sonnax, who has been selected to act as Ambassador Extraordinary for the new Italian kingdom at St. Petersburg, was long honoured with the confidence and friendship of King Charles- Albert. He was Commander-in-Chief in the cam paign of 1848, and is now invested with the first grand military command of Italy and the title of Senior General of all the Italian Forces. ANOTHER CHINA WAR. The China mail, which arrived at Bombay on the 19th ult., is and to have brought an urgent demand for troops to be sent from India, our small force at Shanghai being considered in a somewhat critical position. The Taepin,gs have repulsed the allies with lose, and killed the French Admiral Protet. The Bombay Times of the 27th ult. Naga : We have repeatedly warped the home public that there would soon be • fourth China war upon our heads, from the nature of oar emichset toward the Taepings around Shanghai, and advioes of its onsuiseacement are already on their way to England. Urgent demands are said to have come forward from China to the Indian government for troops —to do what To meet an aggression we have wantonly provoked, on the part of men who sincerely wished to be at pesos with us, and to enter upon the conquest of the Chinese empire. For that is what is really before us. The events of the last two years have made it clear that all material power is on the side of the Taepiogs, and if we destroy that power, we must hold the country our selves to dud it at no distant date a ground of conflict with Francs —or abandon it to the worst °rousts of anarchy. If, instead of madly warring upon the Taepings, we had placed ourselves in friendly relations with them, Shanghai might now hays been a free port, and the Yangtae Kiang throughout He length as safe to Europoui commerce as the Thames. We have deliberately espoused the cause of the most corrupt, weak, and cruel despotism the world has ever seen—a despotism hopeless of reform or regeneration—and are about to reap the bitter fruits of our policy. Our conduct towards these Tsepinp has been so wholly inexcusable, that were they to hacg every European that falls into their hands, none could justly blame them. What offence have they committed against us, that our CallOOD and fleets are to be employed in destroying them, and our soldiery in capturing them, and handing them over to the tender mercies of Mandarins to be disembowelled? Have the Taepings no atrocities to avenge, that all our sympathies are with the bloody crew of whom Yeh stands oat in our time as the type? Here, an elsewhere, it is the undue preponderance of our supposed commercial interests that decides our policy ; and without staying to inquire what natural right and justice demand of us, we plunge headlong into a guilty strife, flattering ourselves that the "general intends of humanity" move us. We do trust that this Taeping war will rouse the country to a searching and adequate inquiry into the matter. The Taepings are not the monsters they have been declared to be, and were European indultam brought frankly to bear upon them, we might check their excesses at once, and lead them to the establishment of s settled sad peaceful rule. INDIA. Bombay papeis of June 28 state that the government of Bombay bas received a telegram of a battle between Host Mahoined and the Herateea. Nothing definite is known, but it is believed the Ameer has lost several chiefs of note. The Rajah of Travancore has issued a proclama tion declaring that the paper currency of British India shall henceforth be a legal tender throughout his territories. Cholera of a virulent type is raging at Hydera bad and Secunderabad, Deccan. The general health of the country is good. The rains have commenced in all parts of the country most favourably, and the season is progressing in the moat promising manner. Severe weather on the coast has caused considerable loss. The most serious is that of the ship James Pikington, which was wrecked about twenty-five miles to the north of Bombay on the evening of the 17th Jane. She was an iron ship of 1,352 tons burthou, com mended by Captain Gritfiths, owned by Mr. Ed ward Bates, of Liverpool, and loaded with a general cargo of bale goods and iron. Two of the crew were lost—the rest escaped only with their lives. The ship almost immediately went to pieces, and the cargo was entirely lost. The supposed Nana, who was arrested some months ago at Kurrachee, has been released by order of the goverument of India. The man has been proved to be a professional beggar. An Englishman named Rudd has been sentenced to be hanged at Calcutta, for shooting a native in the Puujaub. Except an Irish soldier, who was hanged in 1858 for shooting a comrade, this will be the first instance of a European being executed in Calcutta since it became a British possession. A petition has been presented for the man's reprieve. Mr. Cairn, Inspector of Schools, has been ap pointed censor of the native press in the North- West Provinces, and every book published or sold will have to receive his sanction and permission under a heavy penalty. THE COTTON SUPPLY. A despatch from her Majesty's Consul at Charles ton, South Carolina, United States, respecting the prospects of the cotton crop in the Southern States of America during the present year, was forwarded to the Governor-General of India in Council by her Majesty's Secretary of State for India, and ban been officially published at Bombay fur general informa tion. The Bombay Goad& says :—" It has produced a good effect in re-assuring our merchants and dealers who seemed somewhat disheartened by the recent news from America, apprehending a deluge of American cotton in the English market. Whether the longer lease of time, thus given to the Manchester and Indian capitalists and speculators in which to work for the good of India by the im provement and extension of her cotton cultivation, will be taken advantage of for this purpose, remains to be seen. We wish to tell thole, in Manchester who are more especially interested in the cotton cultivation of India that nothing could be more grossly misrepresented than the capabilities of India have bees by (amines lIILIKIPAMIL ) FRANCE.

The electors' reasoning is this, that if Dr. Plassiart was such a very bad func tionary as the prefect describes him to be, the moral is that they should choose a man for them selves, and not blindly accept one, as they did in the case of that unlucky doctor, on the government recommendation. The unlooked-for consequence is, that young Plassiart, speaking fair and being personally liked, polled on Sunday last 1,556 votes against 1,343 given to Count du Hamel. The majority not being sufficient to be conclusive on the first scrutiny, there must be a new vote next week, at which a bare majority will suffice, and no doubt Plaasiart will be returned.

A letter from Rome of the 18th says :—" A great danger threatens the pontifical government. The railway which is to unite Rome to Naples is now entirely completed. The section from Rome to the pontifical frontier will be opened in a few days. Although this part has been finished since the end of last year, it has required no leas than six months to induce the government to put the line in opera tion. The municipality of Velletri, at once surprised and happy, has just struck a medal to preserve the memory of this bounty of the Sovereign Pontiff.
