Tim prominence given to the discussions on the sinew' prospeote of the cotton trade is day by day justified by the event. This great interest is at last fairly roused and alarmed. Lest week we recorded an advance of about 20 per cent. in the value of all kinds of cotton ; in the week just dosed the rise has been of nearly equal amount. The Liverpool market has been "wild," and • degree of excitement only paralleled within the memory of the oldest dealers by that of the pre vious week has prevailed. It is now certain that • further large decrease will occur in the produc tion of goods, as the price of the raw material has reached a prohibitive point, considered in relation' to the rates obtainable by manufacturers for their goods. This means, of course, that there will be a further considerable reduction of employment, and • proportionate increase of pauperism amongst the operatives shut out of the mills. The total stock of cotton in port at Liverpool is now computed at only 185,430 bales, against 1,107,430 at the corresponding date of last year. Now that the crisis has errived, the blow fallen, and the cotton famine fairly set in, it would be amusing, were it not so lamentable, to notice the random remedies that are prescribed, the wild suggestions that are urged, and the reckless manner in which people who have woke up to the realities of the situation flout de fiance in the face of free trade and political economy. Their process of argument seems to be very simple. Cotton is wanted, ergo, cotton must be had. The question being, who is to get it ? the readiest answer is—Government. Upon Go vernment they accordingly fall, and require them immediately to improvise a supply, by ransacking India (according to ore suggestion), buying all the cotton to be found there at one price, and selling it to our spinners and manufacturers at another —of course a reduced one. We wonder what Government will be asked to do next. Why do not those of the Lancashire manufacturers who thus speak and write complete their suggestion, by demanding that Government will iu future let them pocket all the profits of their business in prosperous times, but itself support the operatives and pay the mill owners intereston sunken capital in bad times? If it be good for the State to saddle itself now with a loss of • penny or twopence a pound on cotton, in order to keep the mills running and the manufacturers' investments fructifying, why not do so always We must say that, though the operatives have here and there had their meetings and discussed the causes and remedies of their present trial, their views have been marked by a great deal of good sense, while for the employers and their advocates has been exclusively reserved the unenviable distinction of propagating some of the most preposterous suggestions ever submitted to a tolerant but discern ing public. It is of little avail now, however, to join in a chorus of censure of the employers. We spoke pretty freely, especially some time ago, when the adoption of remedies and pre cautions would have entirely prevented the present collapse of the trade ; now it is vain to indulge in reproaches or recriminations. The most lament able feature is that, even now, when the trade is starving, talking and writing are all the fashion, while of real remedial action there is absolutely none. Among the London mercantile community, by whom the dangerous position of the cotton interest has always been more justly and practi cally appreciated than in the northern seats of the trade, there are men of high position and large means who are prepared to embark heartily and extensively in the sort of enterprise needed, and, what is more, to draw the monied public after them, provided only the cotton men will put their own shoulders unitedly to the wheel. This is an indispensable preliminary, and the cotton men do not move. Their apathy is such that they will not respond even if a respectable artiociation approaches them and says, " We are " organizing cotton agencies all over India; supply " us with the means." Just the same sort of answer is given to another association, which says, " We have successfully cow " menced cotton-growing in Jamaica ; the " first crop of our experimental plantations " is before you, and has been grown at a profit, " as may be seen by our accounts, which you are " welcome to inspect. Give us, then, the means " for extending our operations, and furnishing you " in a few months with a large supply." It would really appear that, when relief comes to the cotton trade, it will not come from the efforts of the Manchester men, nor yet from pub lic meetings or public companies, but simply from the slow yet sure operation of those infallible laws of commerce which some of the advocates of the manufacturers now so strangely contemn. There is one plain fact staring us in the face which is worth a twelvemonth of speechmaking and • ton weight of letter-writing —cotton is worth treble its ordinary price. Each mail from England will din this in the ears of merchants, dealers, and producers in every part of the world, and will add fresh assurances that not only is the last crop of American cotton daily becoming less available, and less likely ever to be available, but that there will be no American crop worth speaking of next season. The chance of an in undation of cotton from the old slave-ridden source is rapidly disappearing, and the inducement to grow the article elsewhere increases in propor tion. If a rise of some 200 per cent above its normal value does not increase the supply of • commodity which will grow over • vast belt of the globe, there is no truth in the laws el trade or of supply and demand, and all our commercial notions are false. The supply, under this forcing action, will assuredly come, but the evil is that, owing to the apathy of the trade, it will not come in ade quate quantity until after • prolonged delay, which will yet sorely waste the capital and sub stance of the country, and impoveriah the popu lation.

President Lincoln and General Pope have gone to West Point to consult General Scott. The judgment against the Circasaian declares that papers were found on board giving conclusive proof of a deliberate intention to run the blockade. The Federal War Department has offered two dollars premium and one month's pay in advance to all recruits. No material change has occurred at New Orleans. General Butler has condemned one alderman and the chairman of the Ladies' Relief Committee to hard labour with ball and chain in Fort Jackson. The controversies between General Butler and the foreign consuls continue. The acting British Consul Coppell having asked information concern ing the oaths to be administered to foreign residents, General Butler replied that no answer would be given until Mr. Coppell's credentials and preten sions were recognised by the British governmen t and the Federal executive. All attempts at official action on Mr. Coppell's part must cease, his cre dentials having been asked for, but not exhibited. Great excitement prevailed on the Isthmus of Panama, a body of General Moequera's troops having landed at Aspinwall. The Governor of Pa nama had ordered the citizens to arm themselves, but eventually compromised by permitting Mos. quera's troops to go to Panama. Both Houses of Congress have passed the Tax Bill. The tax imposed upon cotton amounts to half a cent. per lb.

The royal pair intend to reside chiefly at Frog more and Clareoce-house, St. James's, which the Queen his placed at their disposal. They will thin be enabled to assist in filling up the blank in the royal cirrie which the nation has not ceased to deplore, and to co-operate in armaging the great grief which ea yet "knows no retiring ebb." The young prince comes of an excellent stock—that of Hesse Darmstadt, not of Electoral Hesse—and has been brought up with the care and propriety befitting his pros pect', which, although not the highest regal rank, are yet sufficiently elevated and responsible. He is the nephew, and probable future heir of the reigning duke. in the interim, before his accession to the honours of his house, he will dwell chiefly in England, where the princess will still continue to receive the respectful affection of the people, and contribute largely to the happiness of the royal circle, of which she is the ornament and pride. —Observer.

LATICST 1 MIT FAL 61010 OK. RUSSIA. We flad from the fit. Petersburg }orals that the Russian government is weighing very heavily upon the press, many newspapers and periodicals, including even literary reviews, having been sud denly suspended. The Journal de St. Pekrabourg contains • long article on the subject of the fires. It points to the universal indignation which thespectacleof the fires created, as a proof that they did not originate in any popular feeling. The evidence at present (says this journal) rather points to ordinary criminals than to political offenders as the incendiaries. Nevertheless, the inquiries show that revolutionary proclamations have been imported in immense quantities, and have been secretly distri buted in private houses and in the streets ; and it is possible that they have had some influence in cor rupting the public mind. The journal then gocs on to deny that the Emperor will abandon the im portant reforms which he had commenced. The reforms undertaken by his Majesty are (it says) die teted by a judicious appreciation of the wants of the °pan try se remeled by experieoce. We seek in vain to find anything that should be affected by the criminal attempts of ' malefactors. The law will severely punish the guilty, if there are any; but its necessary rigour will not for an instant inputs the patriotic task to which the Emperor ban devoted himself —that of harmonising the internal organisation of the empire with the moral and materiel waste of Itassiaa society. On the contrary, it may be said that the natural result of the late incident, has belie to fortify sod Moreno the mutual confidence of 'the soeeteign and the country. Public indigestion had done justice to these savage attempts even before the law interfered. Is taking energetic measures the authorities have hat respon ded to a general cry. A letter from St. Petersburg, in the bwitipendanee Beige, dated the 29th of June, gives the following __ _ account of the attempted of General Udell; : The day before yesterday, that is to say the 27th of June, in • public Arden where mineral waters are drunk at Wanaw, Goland Count Laden woo fired at by • person who raddealy emerged from behind a tree. The bullet adored the back of the General's neck, and cams oat at the right side of his mouth, smuhing the jaw. The wound, though • dangerous one, does not own promise the We of the General, who immediately re ceived the but magical aaaistence. The uremia made his escape. A few days previously General Loden had re ceived an anonymous and threakaing letter, informing bim that his death and the death of other high functionaries at Warsaw bee bees decided upon. The second victim desig nated is Lieut-Geaeral Kryjanowsky, Wllitary Goveroor- General of Warsaw. The General was at St Petersburg, having berm east for by the Emperor, but ori the news of the ►ttemmpt upon General Leiden, the Emperor immediately ordered him to return to hie post, which he did the follow ing day by railway. FRANCE AND MEXICO. The article in the Constitutionnel referred to by our Paris correspondent, in which it is said that the only object France has now to seek in Mexico, is redress for injury to private interests, is received with appl►use by the rest of the Paris journals. The Mkt, of to-day observes that this new doter mination is in accordance with the public opinion which has been so clearly manifested since the publication of the official documents relative to the late events. The PreSIC congratulates the govern ment journal on havingat last copied its programme. The Temps observes that it was the candidature of the Archduke Maximilian which led to the rupture between France and the two other powers. The Siècle is equally satisfied. PRUSSIA. The Prussian ministry appears resolved to avenge its defeats in the legislature by a redoubled perse cution of the press. In the course of the present month there are no less than twelve government prosecutions to be decided ; and several managers of journals are now in prison for refusing to reveal the names of contributors. The journals, however, unanimously declare that they aooept the battle. Among other manceuvres the government is seek ing to injure the journals in their financial t esources. Orders have been given to all industrial companies which have anything to expect from the govern ment to discontinue inserting any advertisements in the opposition papers. The president of the Rhenish provinces was obliged to tell the govern ment that there was no other kind of journal in his district. AUSTRIA. The Press of Vienna has an article treating of the manner in which Austria is affected by the Russian recognition of Italy. "On this occasion," says the Vienna journal, "we can but sadly remark that the hope of injuring Austria has con tributed not a little to this act. The Italians them selves will draw but little direct profit from this recognition, but the isolation which will result from it to Austria will be a precious gain for them. Russia and Prussia will be in future the diplomatic allies of Italy against Austria. It is not England that can console us for this loss. In Italy England is still more dangerous for us than Russia and Prussia ; for there we encounter at every step an English interest. To complete isolation then are we led by the policy of those who continue the Metternich-Schwartzenberg system." GARIBALDI IN SICILY. We have received the Sicilian journals contain ing an account of General Garibaldi's stay at Palermo. Immediately after his arrival, the municipality issued the following proclamation : Fellow.citizens, —General Garibaldi arrived here an. expectedly yesterday evening. The m►n who, in 1860, came to Palermo as oar liberator, is to-day oar guest. The glorious dictator of Sicily presents himself as • private citizen. Let him be welcomed!

The fête was a splendid one, and the most perfect order reigned "in this city," to use the language of one of the journals, "of 200,000 inhabitants, all so impression able and so ardently devoted to Garibaldi." The Igeneral several times addressed the multitude, and always upon the necessity of concord.

(nor on owl PARIS. Suscuy Evianno. A notice of an article by M. Paulin Limayrac in this day's Constitistionnel cannot be better prefaced than by the following prophetic paragraph which appears in the Indepenclance Beige of July 4 : If the information which we receive from Paris be OWN* France, now isolated in Mexico, thinks only of vindicating the honour of her flag, and obtaining due reparation for the grievances of her subjects. As to the second part of her programme, it is to be abandoned. She will renounce not only the candidature of the Archduke Maximilian, which was long since repudiated by that prince himself, but also the scheme of overthrowing James, and presiding over the election of a new government in Mexico. In other word', A lmonte will be sacrificed. The Coutegitutionnel will shortly be instructed to annoacce this wigs resolution. It is to hi regretted that M. &Hardt was not charged with this teak. His speech would then have been much more clear than it was, and the speaker would have done his delicate work with more ease to himself. The article in question does not by any means supply the precision which was wanted in IL Bil lault's speech ; indeed, but for the key supplied by the Independence, I am not sure that I should have been alive to the importance of it. But I have now picked out from a rhapsody of words the four or five lines which fulfil the writer's mis sion, and are alone of any consequence. After a recapitulation, coloured to suit the French view, of the circumstances under which the war was entered upon by the three powers, and subs.- quentlyrenounced by England and Spain, the Consti tutionnel asks this question—" Can the situation be the R&M now that we stand alone in Mexico 1" and it answers, "Evidently not. There were Euro pean interests, then, were collective interests, there are now but French interests." It then goes on to say, almost in the words foretold by the Indipendence :—"At this moment we have but two objects in Mexico : one, the triumph of our arms ; and the other, satisfaction for our undoubted grievances. National honour is involved ; it will be satisfied ; reparation is due to us ; we shall ob tain it." Inasmuch as the French pretext for imagining an appeal to the ballot-box under the protection of its flag was that satisfaction could not possibly be obtained from Juarez, I fail to see the logic of K Limayrac's argument. It seems to me, when stripped of rhetoric, an admission that there was no necessity to change the form of government in Mexico, and that now that the allies have refused to be dragged into the scheme, it is to be given up because too difficult and expensive. The Temps, which sees this very clearly, says We are too much piers& at the Constitaitionaers conclusions to criticise its premier ; but we cannot help thinking that they will be disputed in England and Spain, where it will not be forgotten that it was precisely the arch duke's candidature, supported by General Atmore, which led to the rupture of the joist expedition. The Prase congratulates the Constitutionnel on its new and restricted programme, and says, " We have never demanded anything more than what it now grants." Notwithstanding the confident assertions of the government journals about the excellent position of General de Lorenoez at Orizaba, private letters give disquieting accounts of the health of his troop., and say that his com munications with Vera Cruz are by no means easy or regular. It is to be feared that he will eagerly greapthe first opportunity of getting reinforcements, notwithstanding the desire that the outgoing troops may be spared the great risk of landing at Vera Cruz during the unhealthy season. A letter from Rome of July 1, in Bullier's Cor respondence, says : It is confirmed that M. de Inelastic has made proposals to the Pope to secure him a pecuniary indemnity in con sideration of his agreeing to the Motu quo. The Pope re plied in these ternie—" I have no right to exchange for even countless millions so much as a single village of the many of which I have been robbed within the last three years. Besides, the King of Piedmont, as you well know, proclaims that he must have Rome for his capitaL The arrangement you propose would not snit him ; it would not suit the Emperor, and it does not suit me. Let as say no more about it." If it be true that M. de Lavalette has made any such proposal as the above, the only excuse is that he must have been quite certain that it would be refused. Pius IX. bas done a real service to Napoleon 111. by not taking him at his word. It is rumoured that M. de Lavalette feels very un comfortable at Rome, and complains that General de Montebello thwarts him quite as much as General de Goyon did. Cardinal Wiseman and Dr. Cullen, the Roman catholic Archbishop of Dublin, have, it is said, promised the Pope to recruit for him an army of, 4,000 men in the British islands, and, moreover, to get British catholics to supply funds to pay them.
