Ir is deplorable enough that we should have everything to learn about cotton supply when the dearth is already upon us; but, amidst the confusion of ideas and the conflict of statements, we are getting on towards knowledge ; and know ledge will in time bring relief. The contradic tions are, to be sure, very perplexing, but we learn from them what sort of information we are moat in want of, how to set about getting it, and for what practical end. To those who hold that enough and too much has been said about the apathy of Lancashire in regard to the supply of the material of its manufacture it must be a striking fact that the public does not see that the subject ought to drop. The public desires to be practical at last: and every kind of discussion of the came brings up the consideration of that past apathy of the manufacturers, and will continue to bring it up till the same pains are taken by the persons most interested as are taken in the Potteries to obtain proper and sufficient clay, and by our woollen manufacturers to encourage improvements in the breeding of sheep, and discoveries of new material of wool and hair. Whether the rate-in-aid is discussed in the Commons, or the Bellary Canal works in the Lords—whatever may be the tone of public meetings, and the variety of correspondence addressed to the journals, the one common thought in all minds is of the singular neglect of which the manufacturers are an example—a neglect which leaves them now apparently as ill-informed about the question of cotton supply as the bar, or the medical profession. If any evidence were needed of what was their duty and what has been their neglect, it is found in the strenuous, persevering, self-sacrificing, but una vailing efforts made, for a long course of years, by the half-dozen or so of their own body who saw what ought to be done, and foresaw what would be the consequences of not doing it. So very few were those wise members of the class that we now do not know where to turn for any trustworthy information as to what our prospect really is. Generally speaking, the manufacturers contradict one another as strikingly as American citizens or gentlemen from India. If, amidst the confusion of statements and expectations, there arises any one point on which almost everybody is agreed, we may be satisfied that we are getting on. And this appears to be now our case. As to the probable duration of the dearth, the official world seems to be the most san guine, Lancashire the most divided, and out side observers the most gravely apprehen sive. Mr. VILLIERS recently said that he hoped the worst of the distress would be over by October, when 400,000 bales would be arriving from India. From what the Duke of Arrovi.r. said in the Lords, it is clear that the Government has no official information as to say such extent of relief ; and the Duke himself ventured on no more explicit statement than that there is much more cotton now on the way hither than there ever was before at one time. Lord Snarreasurtv quoted Captain HAIGH, the engineer-in -chief of the Godavery Works, as believing that there are in India, ready for market, no less than 6,000,000 bales of cotton, the annual consumption of "the " world," or of the western world, being elsewhere : computed at 5,000,000 bales. There are a few whispers still about 3,000,000 in America, which a peace might set free ; and though there is less and less belief in a peace, and iu any considerable quantity of well-prepared cotton remaining in the States, it is probable that some lingering hope of a supply from the old source may be answerable for some of the obstinacy of Lan. ca,shire apathy. While leaving practical enterprise to other people, however, the Lancashire men can argue on as many sides as all the rest of the world. It is most perplexingto hear how different their ex pectations are as to the quantity of cotton that may be in the country by Christmas, or by Christmas twelvemonth. The merchants seem to know no better than the manufacturers. The only guidance one has is the evident reluctance to encourage any hopeful statement, because of its effect upon the prices of stocks in hand, both of the raw material and the manufactured goods. In society generally the impression is certainly much less cheerful thanthat which the Government Professes to entertain. The ignorance is so great among those who ought to know—past enterprises have so generally failed—there has been so little of the ordinary British spirit of daring specula tion, of zeal, patience, and conquering energy in this particular field, that the public does not ex pect much good result at the moment when it is needed. We have not deserved a supply of cotton from Jamaica or Guiana, or from the special regions in India which we ought to have been attending to for many years pat; and now we shall have to wait. Some tell us we shall have to wait ten months, and some ten years. We need not make a list of the obstacles and disoourage menta they anticipate. It must ruffles that they expect no substantial relief in October, or any other month ; and that they believe that the dis tress must deepen throughout the winter, and at least till the crop of next year comes in. It may be very well that there ass so many to say this now. If it proves true, we shall be best satisfied to have been prepared ; and if not, we shall forgive the past discouragement for the sake of the prudence it must have generated. It is well, for instance, that efforts should have been made thus early to enable a good many of the operatives to emigrate, and to distribute the young people among various field of industry. ! When cotton does begin to flow in again, it is alit- .1 possible that the whole body of operatives can be wanted for a considerable time. It would be a great blessing if this singular opportunity were used for breaking the bad habit of bringing up whole families to the same occupation, so that all are well paid, or all starving at the same time. However this may be, it appears at present to be a wise proceeding to rescue as many as possible of the younger members of the body from the wreak of their industry, and put them in the way of a living elsewhere. The common conviction which seems to In rapidly arising out of all the contradictions is that an agency, sent out by British capitalists, to operate in the various cotton countries, and especially in India, is the most urgent and indis pensable step to be taken. Mr. SAUNDERS, the Cotton Commissioner, lately arrived from India, says this is the thing to be done ; so does Mr. CROSS, at Manchester, after many years of study and effort which we shall now learn to appreciate ; so do all who know anything of the agencies which exist in India for the depression of the cultivator, and the benefit of long gradations of middlemen. Our capitalists, then, must organize themselves. There is plenty of moneyalways to be had for enter prises, promising and doubtful, and never was there more money wanting a good direction than now, or an enterprise more likely to yield large profits. flints have been uttered in Parliament that companies are forming, and are appealing to Government for encouragement and protection. If this means more than appealing to Government for special information, and facilities of access to places and people, we do not see what can be expected, or ought to be desired of Government. Mr. Citoss's plan seems wiser that practical middle clime men, more or less related to the manufacture, should begin, sure that, when they have proved their point, there will be capital and countenance enough offering to share the profits and the credit of importing cotton in pro portion to the demand. What is now proposed is what we have proposed as the immediate step to be taken ; not that manufacturers should turn cotton-growers any more than Government, but that they, and other capitalists who may have the sense to join, shall carry the demand up to the sources of supply, and bring the supply to the great field of demand. The capital they subscribe will be laid out in agencies in all the promising cotton districts of our own dependencies, if not of ' the world, in providing means of collecting and properly transmitting the produce actually exist ing, and in making such advances as may be ne cessary to secure crops still growing or about to be sown. Whoever may be right about the chances of the ooming months, there can be no rational doubt of the benefit, or of the profitablenessof our taking our own case into our own hands ; and, as to the way, most of us will agree that it should be by pri vate enterprise sustained by British capital.

Freights unal tered. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVEN(./ AUGUST 12, 1862. THE ARMY OF GARIBALDI. The Pays says, on the authority of a correspond ent at Palermo, a Nearly all the nations of Europe are represented in the little army of Garibaldi. There are Hungarians, Germans, English, Greeks. Nevertheless, the Italian element preponderates. The provinces of Italy which have furnished the largest contingent are naturally those of the Two Sicilies. But nothing can less resem ble soldiers than the young men who compose the Garibaldian bands. Most of them are beardless ; some of them are scarcely 15 or 16 years old." "This little army," adds the Pays, "is far from possessing that cohesive strength which is indispensable to a serious enter prise. Garibaldi cannot hope to conduct it to victory, however great may be the confidence which he feels in its ardour ; it is, then, overthrow almost without striking a blow which awaits it." SPAIIi. The Madrid journals of the Bth speak in strong terms against the conduct of Garibaldi, and recommend the Italian government to put an end as speedily as possible to such an illegal course of proceeding. " The sooner," says the Epoca, " King Victor Emmanuel puts down the general's unqualified outbreak—the sooner he forces the revolutionary flag to descend, the greater will be the guarantees he gives to Europe, and to so many interests justly alarmed." The Constitutional publishes a statistical article on the Island of Cuba, from which it appears that its population is 1,396,530 inhabitants. Of the men of colour, 370.564 are slaves. HUNGARIAN NATIONALITY. The Emperor of Austria has addressed to the Chancellor of Hungary, Count Forgach, the fol lowing letter : Dear Count Forpcb,—Guided by the serious intention of putting in practice the principle of the equality of rights of &limy people, and also by a regard to the nationalities of my kingdom of Hungary, I order my Hungarian Chancellery to draw up, after having taken the preliminary advice of the Lieutenant-Governor of Hungary, a project of law having for its object to determine the relative rights to their language and their nationality of the non-Magyar inhabitants of my kingdom of Hungary. I reserve to myself the admission of this project of law among the num ber of royal propositions which will be submitted to the ' nest Diet. FaAsas Joateu. Laxeubourg, July 27. Said Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt, whose health was unsatisfactory before leaving England, finds himself (remarks OcifignaM) mush better since his arrival in Paris. His highness is staying at the Hotel Bristol. Intelligence from St. Petersburg, dated August 5, says :—" The Emperor and Empress will return to the capital to-morrow, by way of Riga sod Bamberg. Their reception in the Baltic provinces has been most cordial. The gentry of Livonia received their Majesties 14 days since, on their arrival from St. Petersburg, with a brilliant fete at the Kokenhalen Cutle, the merchants of Rip gave • grand ball at the Baum, and excursions to Yam and in the so-celled Livonia° Switzerland have also given op• portonitiea for friamdly damocatratioaa. twos of loyalty an intended am couol Theme n;aaifora- Against the revolutionary agitations in the Russian capitals." A letter from Peeth, of the 6th received in Paris duke that there is every reason to believe that the ex• King Frani:As IL of Naples is about soon to fix his rasidenoe definitively in Austria. In addition to purchases already nude Ott his account may be added that of a large domain in Hungary, belonging to the family of the Counts de Viczay. This property has been bought for 1,400,000 Amine (2,730,000 fr.), through the agency of a medical man at Peath. The Opinsone of Turin publishes a letter from the Marquis Ainardo de Cavour, the great statesman's nephew, in which he protests against any further publica tion at his late sand e'. private correspondence, he having been entrusted by the deceased with the arrangement of the meet interesting portion of the same, to be publi►hed after the Lees of a certain period which bee not yet expired. The marquis announces that he will invoke the protection of the law spinet theca who, after this notice, should publish any more letters of Count Carom. The Gazette de Lausanne contains the following : —" Lest week, M. Thioly, of Geneva, accompanied by two guides, succeeded in reaching the highest peak of the Jung. frau, 12,827 feet above the level of the sea After remain ing ten minutes on the summit, daring which time it was impossible to plant • flag, so violent was the wind, our tra vellers were obliged to descend. An English gentleman, • Mr. Model, who had started for the same point, with three guides, was less fortunate. On the Aletch glacier, one of his guides having made a false step, fell down a movie' • 80 feet deep, and was extricated with great difficulty. This untoward accident put an sod to the expedition." A Paris correspondent of the Nord says :—" At the head of the lint of medals decreed for ache of off. devotion during the first three months of 1862, I bad one thus recorded In the neighbourhood of Nice, on the 73rd of March, 1862, his Royal Highness Prises Oscar of Sweden saved, at the peril of his life, a woman and be two children who bad bees precipitated into a !urine by the horse ►ttached to their 'Mids.'

MONDAY I The following is the "Political News #of the Prance, which M. de la Guerronniere's puff-prelimin ary pretends is derived from exclusive and authen tic sources : Mammal had a coaferenes with Garibaldi on August 6, at his head-quarters at Mistrella. The neat day Mazzini left Sicily for Malta. We receive precise details of the first engagement in Sicily. Garibaldi is now at a point thirty kilometres from Palermo on the mad to Messina. His divisions ate en camped near the coast and ready to put to sea on the first order. The Italian troops charged to disperse the volun teers were not sent against Garibaldi. They marched in au opposite direction, and attacked in the neighbourhood of Girgenti a corps of volunteers, emulating almost entirely of young men, and who had no leader. This affair, which was of no consequence, occurred at about 100 kilometres from Palermo. It has been up to this moment, and I rather think still is uncertain, whether the Emperor will receive the corps diplomatique on August 15. The omission of the name of that body in the list of receptions given in the Moniteur three days ago proves nothing. The etiquette is to convoke the corps diplomatique by private invitations. There is no doubt whatever that the intention was but a few days ago to receive the foreign ministers at the Tuileries, in order that they might bear a grand political speech from the Emperor. Indeed, the desire to deliver such a speech was, according to the best evidence, the main reason why the Emperor, contrary to his custom, determined to be in Paris on his fete-day ; but Garibaldi has taken the wind out of his sails. The speech laboriously compiled at Vichy will not now do, and his Majesty does not see his way clear to make up another. The "latest news" of this evening is that there will be "no official speech on August 15." The review, which would have greatly interfered with the fete, is to take place the day before. The Bourse was seriously affected by the state of affairs in Italy. Rente fell 20c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 600. and 68fr. 65c. Mo biller fell Bfr. 750. The Italian Loan declined lfr. 5c., the heaviest fall in that security that has occurred for a very long time. The Southern Rail way fell 10fr. ; Northern and Lyons, 7fr. 50c. each ; Orleans, 3fr. 75c. ; Western, 2fr. 50c.; and Eastern, lfr. 25c. A certain mayor who, more unfortunately for his cause than himself, bears the comic name of Grandjacquot, has become famous in consequence of his too frank avowal of the real imperial system of universal suffrage. He finds many imitators among his brother functionaries. M. Orandjacquot's simple, but circular logic was that since the Emperor had been once elected by universal suffrage the only business of the electors was to nominate, for all time coming, candidates designated by him, " since the govern ment must know better than the public who were the fittest persons to be elected." The sub-prefect of Bergerac in the Dordogne has outdone Grand jacquot in servility. The modest electors of that hamlet (famous for heady white wine), being dissatisfied with their present representative, conceived the idea of signing a petition to the government, praying that it would be pleased to recommend them another candidate at the coming elections. The sub-prefect, considering this petition as a most audacious " mauceuvre," has issued a circular to the mayors, desiring them to put a stop to " such a scandal." One knows not which most to admire—electors whip, instead . . of manfully exercising their own rights, humbly petition the government to recommend a candidate less obnoxious than the last one who was forced upon them, or the functionary who is indignant at pretensions which he considers so inordinate.

Charles Francis Cotiere, furniture broker, of 42, Warren -street, Fitzroyaquare was charged this morning at Marlborough-street police4Bl , :e ' before Mr. Tyrivb,ti, withcausing the death of ElizabethCaly, by throwing her down stairs on the Bth of August Mr. Sleigh attended far the I mealtime (instructed by Mr. Beat). Mr. Sleigh said be was instructed on behalf of the rela tives of the deceased to prosecute oa the charge of murder. ' The prisoner had lived with the deceased for some year., and had bad children by her. He kept a little atop, and she had received several hundred pounds under • legacy, but he had treated her in • meet brutal manner at different times. On the evening of Friday last she went t o the bowie al • friend of hers named Id 'Arthur in groat alarm, and asked that person to accompany her home. The friend did so, sod shortly after their arrival toe pramer arrived home, and culled the friend frightful names. The prisoner afterwards rushed at the unfortunate deceased, and threw her violently on the floor, and the friend, fearing the consequences, ran out of the house, and made her way borne ; but • neighbour, hearing the cries of "Murder , " weal over, and heard prisoner making use of violent language towards the deceased, and saw him with his baud up striking her, and heard him say, " Now scream again, if you can," and the screams then ceased. The next morning the surgeon was called in, and the deceased found lying on the floor in a state of nudity, to all e haring been dead about one hoar. He (Mr.. eigh) should oely call sufficient edema.' that day for a remand, and then ask that the prisoner, eh:, was represented, in the absence of Mr. Edward Lewis, by his clerk, should be remanded till after the Unmet. Femora M'Arthur, a widow, of 53A, Ilaryleboae lane— I knew the deceased. On the evening of Friday last, she came to my house about half-past 10. In consequence of a request from her I aocompaisied her home. She was in a state of great trepidation. About ten minutes after we ar ✓ived, prisoner came in. He called me a bitch, and asked why I came there! He got up mad laid bold of me as if hens mad. I screeched out, and • man upstairs got out of bed. The =serseized the deceased by the hair of her bead, lad her down from the side of the bed to the floor with the peatest violence. He then began to tear the deceased , s elo Les off, but I got away as soon as I could. He had beaten the deceased ebont while ca the door. The deceased cried "Murder," and I escaped, and • lane mob collected round the Oboe. A fortnight before he told me not to encourage her as ray place. I told him that she said she would be murdered, and that was the reason why I let her come, to protect bor. He said he had broken three of her ribs, and would break three more. He then asked me why I had not kicked her out. I told him that I bed accompanied her home because she bad money about her. Mrs. Elizabeth Hudson Southgate, of No. 30, Warren street, Fitzroy-square, said—l know the prisoner, and also knew the deemed by sight. There had after been rows at the house and screams of " Murder." On the night in I heard exits " Murder" from Mrs. Cakes, and questionre across and knocked at the door. The prisoner opened the window and asked who was there. I did not answer his question, bat heard Mrs. Cotiere crying and calling for Bari lisighlr. —I believe that is her son. Wiliam—The cries then got weaker. Before the window was opened I heard prisoner say, " Halloo again if von can,* sod the deceased did not halloo again bat cried. The arise this got weaker. Mr. Sleigh—Are you sure you heard the cry "Murder? Witnew—l am positive. Mr. Skugh—Did you hear anything like the sound of blow, ? did. Mr. Sleigh—Wu there a crowd round the door! Witham—There wee at fist, but the permits went ►way when the cries reamed. Mr. Sleigh Wen called Mr. James Carly, of 130, King's-road, Chelaea, tailor, who said—The decreased was my sister and her name was Elizabeth Carly, but she was known as Mrs. Collar*. Ss became pinewoods few months ago of a few hundred pomade under a legacy and received it. I saw the body the next morning, it is that of my sister. Mr. Sleigh—Have you KIDD hair that was polled out of her head and was found in the room in your possemion! Witness—l hare. lam positive it re her hair. Mr. John Wallis, surgeon—l was called in on Saturday morning t having attended her a few weeks before for two fractured ribs. I found the deceased lying on a couch. I pulsed my band across bar face, and found that she was dead, haul been dead about one hour. I understood ano ther man had previously been called io. I have since made a post mortem examination and found the da mmed much injured. Mr. Wallis then gave the result of his examination at some length, the effect of it being that be was enabled to state that deceased's death was caused by some blunt in strument, or from her head having been violently struck several times against some kiwi substance, a pert of the 'maim being found covered with coagulated blood on the skull cap being removed. Mr. Sleigh--Wes there any fracture of the skull? Mr. Wallis—There was not. Mr. Sleigh—That le the whole evidence I shall lay before your worship to-day, and I will now ask for a remand.

THREATENED TURNOUT AT OLDHAIL—A general turnout was expected at Oldham, yesterday, when it was proposed that the unemployed operative* should go in • body to the mills that are still working and draw the boiler. plugs, as in 1842, when the Chartists incited the people to this mode of stopping all the mills. The notion =angst the workpeople was said to be that the present high price of cotton was the cause of some being at work and othen unemployed, and that a general stoppage, by bringing down the price of cotton, would cure the evil. Groups of people were assembled in the streets at an early hour yesterday, but they did not proceed to any overt acts. Liar in the morning, at the suggestion of more peaceably disposed ope ratives, an open-air meeting was held, which memorialised the mayor to cell a meeting in the evening tocoosider what steps would be beet to remedy their grievances. A depu. tattoo from the meeting waited upon the mayor subs°. queotly and he at once acceded to their wishes, and a public meeting was advertised to be hold in the Town.hall in the evening. THE VOLUNTEER COMMIERION.—LoraI Blebs, in presenting the prizes gained by the successful competitors at the Cheshire Ride Association on Saturday last, s id : There appears to me a wide bond of union amoopt us, which unites all volunteers together, no matter from what part of the country they may come. That bond of maims, I believe, is • love of country and a sense of public duty ; and I am sure of this, that as long as those feeliep pre vail, as they do now, amongst Englishmen, there will be no fear of the permanence of the volunteer force. The only fear of its permanence was the possibility of the volun teers, with all the good will in the world, not being able to meet the expenses of volunteering ; I lay ' was,' be cause you are all aware that a volunteer commission has lately sat, of which my friend Sir George Wetherell was • distinguished member, sal that that volunteer tom mission has unanimously made recommendatioos which, if adopted by the goveroment, will piece the volun teer force, lam convinced, in • position of permanence and comfort is every respect. I have little fear that the reeommendetions of that commission will be adopted, bo wie, when you have such men as Lord Lyndhurst, lard Brougham, sod Lord Palmerston, those Nestor, of the nation, strong advocates and supporters of the velnaner m ovement, and when you have it supported as it le by the use. body of the nation, I feel little - fear, but every amid demos as to the result. But if I had any doubt au the point, it has been removed by what I saw in her Majesty's most menus speech from the throne. Yon mast have all ao ta m g that her Majesty, in bar speech from the throne, la the first paragraph addressed to the Lords and Commons together, speaks is the most gracious terms of the volasteer force, and boars testimony to their attainment of military efficieocy. I therefore feel confident that the ;poorness':de fame of the volunteer oornoundou will be alleadsd to by her Malesty's government." THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The attendance yesterday was not considered very good for Monday, but it consisted principally of working people, as might be inferred from the number of women carrying infants who might be observed amongst the company. The majority, probably not having as yet read the morning papers, came armed with their "nose-bags" sensual, and we were very much gratified to learn that not one of the visitors had been stopped. There may, it is true, be some little inconvenience to the visitors who can afford to pay for refreshments within the building, in seeing the improvised pic nics that occur in the various courts; but there would be much greater inconvenience to the poor if they were not allowed to have their own way, and also to the Exhibition income, if those who from henceforth to the end are to be its best customers i were to be frightened away by what they would ' certainly consider to be a most tyrannical and un reasonable ukase. We believe that the refresh- ment departments are daily as full as ever they can hold, and that if the commissioners throw upon them the onus of the whole commissariat, they must greatly extend the present accommodation. The following schools and other establishments sent their organised parties to the Exhibition yesterday :—Bromham National School, Beds, ex penses paid by the Hon. Misses E. and 8.

CHILTON. and wee attended by a number of members, together with Yr. Ewart M.P., and Mr. Laird, Y.P. The report, of which the following is an abstract, was taken as read :—" With regard to the question of the rights of belligerents at mu and the law of blockades, the report dated that the council bad petitioned parliament in favour of Mr. flordall's motion, aid though no decision was come to upon the questioe, they were in hopes that the discus sion of the subject in parliament had not been without ad vantage. With regard to the Shipping Acta Amendment Bill, somo important alterations in accordance with the representations of the council had been made. Sines the memorial of the council relative to import duties in India on yarns and cotton goods, a reduction had been deter mined upon—a reduction which the council hoped would be the forerunner of an entire abolition. A memond had been forwarded to Lord Palmerston in favour of the establidiened of telegraphic communication between Rangoon and Singa pore. Areport bad been transmitted to Earl Russell, embody tog suggestions for alterations in the present treaty with Italy. Earl Russell bad also been memorialised in favour of securing to British shipping the privileges of American re gistry, and admission to the coasting trade. The council were glad to learn that the import mid export charges im posed under the Customs Act (1860) were likely to be abolished, though their e ff orts relative to the abolition of the charge imposed by the same act for operations in hood had as yet been unsuccessful. The council had also devoted attention, amongst other subjects, to the constitution of the board of customs, to the consolidation of the inland revenue and customs establishments, to the Partnership Law Amendment Bill, the duty oa fire insurances, the laws of patent, for inventions, and the camps retire rates of railway carriage between Liver pool and other parts with inland towns. A favour able reply had been received from the Duke of Newcastle relative to the establishment of bi.monthly postal service between Panama and the colonies of British Columbia and Vancouver's Island. In conclusion, the council expreened regret at the continuance of the civil war in America, and the report stated that they had appointed a committee to watch the supple of cotton. The CHAIRMAN!, after describing the steps which the chamber bad taken relative to the principal questions noticed in the report, said that they had not felt it their duty to make any representations to the government rela tive to the present unfortunate struggle in America. It was impossible for any one to foretell how that s would end; but if it ended in the separation o tl f ug g: Southern from the Northern States, he (Mr. Chilton) bad no doubt that ultimately, as had been the case with oar own colonies, that separation would be regarded by both of the parties at present contending as a blessing. Mr. Ewairr, M.P., in moving the adoption of the report. expressed his deep regret at the continuance of the civil war in America. He quite coincided with the neutral policy of the government ; but at the same time he should cor dially rejoice if an opportunity were afforded for this country to combine with other powers on the Continent to put an end to the dreadful struggle. He could not help ex pressing his admiration of the manner in which the working classes of the country had borne the present severe crisis. Alluding to the Liverpool subscription, Mr. Ewart said that though Liverpool had to some extent felt the pinch of the difficulty, her subscriptions bad exceeded the amount raised in London and the provinces by the London committee. Mr. Ewart waa of opinion that the new Mercantile Shipping Act was calculated to be highly beneficial to the mercantile oommunity. Mr. LAIRD, M.P., seconded the motion. After sense remarks from Mr. LAWRENCE HETWORTH on the importance of the complete abolition of the customs duties, and the substitution of • direct income tax, the was adopted. report of thanks to the borough and county members of parliament and the chairman concluded the business.
