(of the A Mr. and s S. T li, Alderman n M y ya l n T )14 said i t was of a lklessrs. question whether the inaccuracy in the returns did not rest in a great measure with the shippers themselves. It depended upon the description which the merchant gave—whether he called the goods worsted or woollen. The PRESIDENT—He must return them under certain heads, and if you give to the Board of Trade correct heads he must return them under those heads. In the course of conversation it was remarked that this subject of the classification of manufac tured goods was a very complicated one, but the members of the Council were unanimously agreed upon the desirability of giving the Board of Trade every facility for making the best possible classifi cation, and a committee was appointed to consider the matter with that view. It is understood that a requisition is on foot to M r . W. N. Hodgson, of Newby Grange, to come forward in the Conservative interest. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough. street. MI?. VILLIERS, A2' WOLVER HAMPION. Both the Right lion. C. P. Villiers, M.P., and Mr. Weguelin, M.P., attended the anniversary din ner of the Wolverhampton Licensed Victuallers' Society on Thursday last. Mr. VILLIERS, in his speech, confined himself almost exclusively to a discussion of the question of temperance and the traffic in liquor. The question, he said, seems to have divided the supporters of the good cause into two parties. One is seeking to pre vent intemperance by extending legislation, and the other wishes to rely on the moral and other in fluences that are operating and have operated hitherto with great effect, in expectation that those means will be more enduring and more effective than any sudden or extreme legislation, which, pro bably, would cause much difference of opinion and a considerable reaction. I believe the class to whom I first referred, benevolent and excellent as they are, require an act to be passed to stop the traffic in liquor, and those who do not go with them refer to what has already been done and what is being ac complished by the various influences that are at work, and trust to them for a remedy, rather than wish for the adoption of an act in order to make people sober and temperate by com pulsion. Well, it is impossible not to admit that though there is a great outcry made against intemperance and drinking there is less of them than there used to be. It must be within the memory of many persons present that there was a time when drunkenness and intem perance were a sort of test of gentility. (Hear. hear.) During the greater part of the last and the first quarter of the present century a man proved himself to be somewhat nearer a gentleman if he drunk a good deal, and even very often got drunk, than by any other means. (Laughter.) Why, you know, there is an old proverb or saying which is not yet quite out of date, but which, fortunately, has lost its application now, " Drunk as a lord." (Laughter.) That is found in the old plays, and it must be taken as indicative of the habits of the higher classes at that time. But now what is the case ? A total change had taken place. It has ceased to be genteel to get drunk; it has, in fact, almost become disgraceful. lam sorry to say that even in my own recollection a different state of things existed. When I first went to college I never heard of an instructor of youth who had taken the pledge. (A laugh.) But I heard of many who had tak en two bottles of wine at a time. (Renewed laughter.) The same influence has operated in other quarters, and a very great and general effort is now being made to spread education and do everything that is pos sible to raise the moral character of the people ; and I do expect that the same results will follow as have been observable in the classes above them. There fore, though I have no business to say anything about legislation here—indeed, I do not know that there is anything intended to be said on this sub ject in Parliament this year or any other—yet seeing the efforts made by an intelligent and active section of society to stop the traffic in liquor, and that as far as I am informed it would have a bad effect, I think we had much better trust to those other influences which are raising and improving the community. I believe there are instances in which the experiment has been tried to make men sober suddenly. Such an experiment was made in the middle of the last century, when an act-was-passed imposing enormous penalties on any person who sold spirits, and the first year after wards there were 12,000 or 13,000 persons impri soned under the excise laws. That shows that when acts arc passed unsupported by public opinion, and when the people are net prepared for them, they lead to evasion ; and when you connect with those acts something like injustice or unfairness you will have a violent reaction. As long as the wealthy classes have their cellars full and their tables pretty well loaded with generous liquor, you can hardly pass an act to stop the sale of it to the humbler classes of society. I think that though those gentlemen who are preaching temperance and abstinence are aiding the cause of improvement, they ought not to forget when they come to legis late for the lower classes those influences which have produced a change of habit among the ranks above them. (Cheers.) THE REPRESENTATION OF CARLISLE. CARLISLE, MONDAY NIGHT. At a Meeting of the leading Liberals of this city held this afternoon, after several unsuccessful efforts to secure a candidate with local connections, it was resolved to bring forward Mr. Edmund Potter, Pre sident of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, as a candidate in the Liberal interest to fill the vacancy caused in the representation of Carlisle by the death of Sir James Graham. • To-night Mr. Potter addressed the Liberal elec tors in the large lecture-hall of the Athenaeum, which was crammed to the doors, about 1,000 per sons being present. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Sutton, of Scotby), in open ing the proceedings, paid a tribute of grateful satisfaction to the memory of Sir James Graham's political career. Society at large had lost in him a benefactor. As a landlord and agriculturist he was first in the field, and had nearly completed those great improvements which render our country fertile before the community at large had begun to think about them. However much their finer feelings might flinch from coming thus early into the field, before the remains of their late representative were consigned under the turf, their duty as a constituency compelled them to take immediate action, as there was an enemy already in the field. Mr. E. POTTER, having been introduced by the chairman, addressed the meeting at considerable length. After stating that he appeared under con siderable difficulties, being a total stranger in Car lisle, he said he found himself placed in strong con trast to their late valued representative, Sir James Graham, and he could only shelter himself in think-, ing that if he could not represent them as a states man of his class, perhaps he might do so as a prac tical man of business, and as an old politician who had had quiet, and, perhaps, thoughtful experience, both as to commercial and political matters for the last 30 years. He had been largely engaged in business for the last 35 years, and had been perhaps as hard-working a man as any in that assembly. He started life with little beyond a good education and careful nurture ; he had good principles instilled into him, and it was his ambition to work them out. He was a calico printer, and, perhaps, at the head of that branch of the cotton trade. :Proceeding to speak of his views on the suffrage, he said—l am an advocate, and have been since the passing of the Reform Bill, for a continued extension of the suf frage. (Cheers.) I think the suffrage ought to be continually extended to keep pace with the increase of population and the increase of the intelligence of that population. I think you will admit that there has been during the last 30 years an amazing in crease ~of intelligence among the wo*ing can speak to that point, having lived among them, having watched them, and having, perhaps, to some degree encouraged it by education, by leading them on in political matters, and encouraging them, whenever they had an opportunity, to ask for the franchise for themselves. Well, then, gentlemen, I think a larger extension of the franchise is due, and if I were to give you a definite point to which I would be inclined to go—even under the present aspect, when Reform is a little pooh-poohed, and supposed to be dangerous, because of the contest which we see go ing on on the other side of the Atlantic, my opinions are not shaken—l should be disposed to sanc tion a £6 and a £lO franchise, a measure brought forward by Lord J. Russell, sanctioned by a large section of the Whig party, and supported, I be lieve, by your late representative, and every shade of politics down to John Bright. I should be glad to go to that extent, and more glad to go to that extent if it were accompanied by the ballot. (Cheers.) Under the ballot I believe you would get a free expression of the opinion of the voter. I am accustomed myself to vote under the ballot in the various clubs. I consider it a great luxury, and if I feel it is a luxury to me, I am bound in some degree to :extend it to those who, perhaps, stand still more in need of it. (Cheers.) I will not weary you with any arguments in favour of the ballot, as they are well known to you all. I am anxious it should be carried. I believe it would very largely increase the power of the Liberal party. I believe it will lessen the expenses, and will do very much for the honesty of the voter. Mr. Potter proceeded to express himself in favour of the total abolition of church rates, saying he was satisfied that the comparatively small sum which would apparently be lost would be made up most liberally and ungrudgingly by the members of the Church themselves. He was strongly opposed to interven tion, but he thought a great deal might be done by the expression of the sympathy of a nation like ours. Earl Russell, by sympathising with liberty where he found it in difficulties, had kept them clear of a much more dangerous course. No wish had yet been expressed to meddle with American affairs, but they were beginning to feel a pressure, which he feared would call out very strong feelings in favour of intervention for the sake of getting cotton. " Honesty is the best policy," and we should wait till we can honestly be supplied with ' that cotton by those who are the present owners of it. The French Chamber of Commerce was urging a difference course, which he thought was a dan gerous sign. He attributed the present secession to the disgraceful American tariff, and said that if the !American nation had come forward and de voted five or six millions a year to the abolition of the slave trade we should not have had the pre sent secession. It was all very well to talk l a i b tt o l u a t f t a h i e t h a b i r n o g a i t t i on i f put very pay for o t f h s e l y ave w ry ou , l b d ut no h t e it. They had no ex cuse ; the y were wealthy to a degree ; and ho believed their great wealth and easy sustenance had led to the present miserable spectacle of demoralisation. Referring more imme diately to the subject of the cotton supply, he said —The only conclusion we can come to is that we can only mend our position by looking very closely to our Indian dependencies. Very much may be done, very much is doing, by increasing railway accommodation and the means of carriage, and en couraging the growth of cotton. By encouraging I mean that the Government should hold out such facilities for transit as the Government should do as owners of the soil, and make the roads themselves, like landowners in this country. By that means we should have a supply of cotton, and I have no doubt They would get a high price for cotton, which would tempt a larger production, and that supply from India would be so large as to relieve us from our present dependency on the United States. Gentlemen, I have very few points more to refer to. I can only regret with yourselves the very perilous position in which the whole of the cotton trade is placed. You, like most of us, have a very deep in terest in it, and I am afraid a period of privation is t before us for a time. It is utterly impossible ) We CAll nave any other than serious privations but tha UP TRAINS. The 6.10 a.m. Train from llungerford to Beading will be discontinued.

By Dr. LA'MEnT, 37, Bedford-square. London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, &c. The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the variou4 functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the . great discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

SPORTING INTELLIUENGE. NEWMAIRKET HOUGIITON MEETING. TUESDAY. The morning was showery and the wind blew gusts and squalls throughout the day. The attendance, nevertheless, was of an average character, and would doubtless have been much larger had it been generally known that Newmarket heath was to be honoured by the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who appeared to enjoy the sport until it was ended. The earliness of the fixture for the Cambridgeshire (5 minutes before 1 o'clock) was also a disappointment to many persons who had intended coming later in the day, but stayed away on finding that the event would have taken place before their arrival. The card con tained 11 races and one walk over, and the business of a heavy list was got comfortably through by half-past 4, The result of the Cambridgeshire was a source of wonderful joy to gentlemen from the Continent, a largo number of whom were present, and the easy defeat of Henham Lass showed how many a slip exists between cup and lip. She remained firm in the betting up to the moment of starting, Limeflower and The Roe, firmly supported bp their respec tive parties, being next in demand. The pace at which the race was run must have been severe, the tailing having commenced before the leading horses approached the place where the Duke's Stand was. The remaining events which came off possessed no great amount of interest, if we except, perhaps, the £5O Plate, formerly called Tho Feather," in which a 2-yr-old that can stay has frequently been found a useful horse in after years. The winner on the present occasion was backed heavily and beaten on Monday, but proved onhis next appearance that the former race was not long enough to test his staying qualities. Towards the end of the racing the weather brightened a little, and the crowd of card players, who were more numerous than on the cop- responding day of last year,ieft the racecourse well"sati;fiea with their day's amusement, and happy with the reflection that their future King had been among them.

The flag was lowered at the first attempt ; Captain Crow, in company with Caledon, Charlton, and King Log, made the running at a good pace ; the others, headed by Steelpen colt, lying close up to the old Duke's Stand, where Mr. Osborne's colt came out, and shortly after took a clear lead, followed by the Fannie colt and Venerator, between which three a good race home ensued, the Steelpen colt winning at last by half a dozen lengths. Venerator was a bad third, Plush filly fourth, Charlton fifth, St. Lawrence sixth, and Principal next, the others beaten off. Knight of St. Michael, who broke down, was last a long way.

The preliminary business of weighing having been gone through punctually to the time set down, the names of the 35 competitors were speedily exhibited on the telegraph, when a general move took place towards the turn of the lands to witness the saddling, which was soon performed, and after a short canter the horses and riders were taken in charge by Mr. M'George, but in consequence of the over eagerness of many of the light-weights to get away the start was delayed upwards of half an hour : but at last, having got them together en equal terms, the flag was lowered at 115 p.m. The first to show in advance was Frailty, fol lowed by Queen of the Vale, Tom Bowline, Nemesis, Gib raltar, Baron Munchausen, Asteroid, and The Roe ; the next division was headed by Palestro, on the rails on the upper side, Gabrielle d'Estrees, the Henham Lass, and Limeflower, Paste being last of all. On nearing the old red post Asteroid, followed by The Roe and the two French representatives, drew towards the leaders; Henham Lass at the same time, having had enough of it, dropped away beaten, followed in a few strides after by Limeflower. At the site of the Old Duke's Stand Queen of the Vale, Neme sis, and Gibraltar were disposed of, leaving Baron Mun chanson with the lead, The Roe going on second, next the rails on the upper side, Asteroid third, Palestro and Gab rielle d'Estrees fourth and fifth, laying extremely wide, with the Clarissa colt in close attendance, and to which lot the race was evidently confined. Half-way np the hill Lord Chesterfield's colours were seen gradually to fade from the front, and the two foreigners moving forward at the same time joined Asteroid and The Roe, the quartet running almost in a line to within a few strides of the brow, when Grimshaw brought out Gabrielle d'Estrees and came on with a clear lead on the lower side, followed immediately after by her stable com panion on the upper ground. From this point the issue was never in doubt. Palestro, very patiently ridden by Watkins waited upon the mare, who tired to nothing at the finish, to within a stride or twe of the chair, and won cleverly by half a length ; Asteroid finished an indifferent third, and The Roe was placed by the judge ; Clarissa colt was fifth, Baron Munchausen sixth ; the others, headed by Nemesis, Gib raltar, Queen of the Vale, Man-at-Arms, and Wildman, were widely spread, and pulled up as they passed the post.

At the third attempt all got off in a line, and Gazelle went at once to the front, those next her being Tubal Cain, Tar ragona, Darlington, Polypody, and Barricade. On nearing the cords Darlington and Polypody gave way to Liberality and AVarble, but these two failed to reachtheleading horses. The favourite went on with her lead, and won very easily by two lengths, Tubal Cain losing second place by a neck. Barricade was fourth, Liberality fifth, and Warble sixth.

This must, if there be any virtue in figures, make a difference to us of some 20 or 30 millions in im ports of cotton, to be paid for by exports of manu factures. It ought, according to all common reason ing from cause to effect, to shut up our cotton fac tories for want of raw material, and close our hard ware factories for lack of orders. We have already met the first brunt of this sudden defection of our great customer and the abrupt stoppage of our source of raw produce. We can now measure it by the figures given in the official returns, and we can see it in the increased quotations of the prices of the cotton stocks on hand. The first sensation upon exa mining these figures is one almost of relief. Of course we feel this enormous loss. Of course Lancashire is straitened, and the streams of her valleys are no longer bringing down golden sands. But our agree able surprise is that we are only straitened, and not actually crushed. Up to this time the troubles in America have only just checked our increase. We are even now manufacturing and exporting within 3/ per cent. of what we manufactured and exported in September, 1859, and how far ahead that was of what we manufactured and exported in years a short time previous we may trust to the recollec tion of the reader. Last year we were building mills and refusing orders ; this year we can do our work in the mills already built, and we can execute all the orders that are offered to us at the higher prices we are obliged to demand. No doubt things may yet be worse. It may happen that our stocks of cotton may be all ex pended before we have been able to reinforce them. It may happen that the expectations of the corre .sPondwit whose letter we publish to-day may be disappointed, and that the speculators who appear to him to be rushing to ruin may be on their way to fortune. It may be—although we think it most improbable—that cotton will continue to accumu• late in America and will lie there idle, never forcing itself into the only market where it can have a value. This seems to be, according to all experi ence of human action, as impossible as that a river should of its own accord, or in the face of a light obstacle, stand still and accumulate to a lake. But, even if this great improbality should come to pass, we can already see promise of compensation for most of the loss that America can cause us. As the clouds thickens in the West daylight dawns in the East. That we can open markets in the East whenever the markets of the West may fail we have already shown; but it now seems equally clear that we can find also in the East a substitute for the productions for which we have been accustomed to look almost exclusively to the West. India, which, properly stimulated, can produce all things, is bestirring herself to supply our necessities in the article of cotton. What has been long certain in theory is now about to be shown in practice—that with American seed and European supervision we may obtain any quantity of cotton from India that Manchester will pay for. The elasticity of our resources appears especially in this juncture. We are alarmed by a reduction of eight millions in our exports, and when we examine the phenomenon closely we find that it is little more than the subsidence of the extraordinary demands of last year to the ordinary capacity of production as tested in the year preceding. We are threatened by the cessation of those supplies of raw cotton by which we have been accustomed to sustain our manufactures, and we hope to develope in a few months, and in our own possessions, a power of production which will make us independent of all foreign Powers. If this be not enough, the recent advices from India offer another promise of indemnity for much that we may lose in America, India, as she gradually grows prosperous, is be coming luxurious. People who work, and who work profitably, soon learn to icrease their necessi ties and to desire luxuries. India is becoming active, laborious, and prosperous. She is beginning to call for European products, and the English merchant is carrying to India his manufactured cotton goods in payment for the raw cotton which India is just learning to produce. America is a great element, but not a necessity to our commercial wellbeing. We should like to see her at peace, and to see our trading relations restored ; but it is too much to suppose that she g holds in her hands any enduring power over the prosperity of England. We can well afiord to wait and see this contest brought to a close; nor will any trading necessities drive us to break her blockades, or to side with either party in the conflict.—Times. IMPROVED OFI 'UAL CLASSII CATION OF BRITISH-EXI36-ITTS: At a meeting of the Council of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce, held on Monday evening, Mr. H. W. Ripley, President, in the chair, the Secretary read the following letter from the Board of Trade : " Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, Oct. 15, 1861. " Sir,--I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to inform you that the question of revising the official list of articles of British produce and manufactures, as registered for exportation, has been brought before my Lords by the chief of the Statistical De partment of the Board of Trade, and the Inspector-General of Imports and Exports. These gentlemen have represented to my Lords that the present list is faulty in classifications, and, while including many specifications having now no commercial importance, it does not provide for the registra tion of other descriptions of articles the export of which has become considerable since the list was first established, and it appears probable that designations are also used which are no longer recognised by merchants and manufacturers in their business transactions. "My lords are disposed to concur in the opinion of Mr. Fonblanque and Mr. Messenger, that the practical value of the trade returns of the United Kingdom may b© greatly increased by the official list of exports being made up to dis tinguish more accurately the various kinds of British pro duce and manufactures. " The occasion of the modifications in our tariff last year afforded an opportunity for the preparation of an improved enumeration of the articles imported into the United King dom, which will be applied to the annual accounts for the present year. It would be highly undesirable to continue the use of an old list of exports after the introduction of a revised list of imposts. " Mr. Fonblanque and Mr. Messenger have indicated to my lords the nature of the alterations which appear to be required in the list of articles of export, but they have ex pressed a desire that the principal Chambers of Commerce may be consulted upon the changes that should be made in the specification of articles which belong to the leading branches of our export trade. " It cannot be doubted that the co-operation of gentlemen representing the chief industries of the country would be most useful in determining what details of those industries it is desirable to record for statistical purposes in the offi cial registers of exportation. " lam accordingly to request that you will be so good as to bring this communication before the Council of the Chamber of Commerce at Bradford, with the request that they will favour my lords with suggestions for an official registration of the exports of British woollen manufactures adapted to the present condition of trade and the require ments of the mercantile community. " You will, perhaps, be kind enough to remind the Chamber of Commerce at Bradford that, in order to avoid disturbing the comparison of past and future exports, and to insure the ready supply of information by shippers upo entering goods at the Custom-houses, it is highly expedient that alterations in the lists of exports should not be carried further than is necessary to remove inaccurate descriptions or to give additional particulars, rendered requisite by the development or altered condition of trade. " Any considerable addition to the official records of ex ports would entail increased expense upon the public, and would tend to delay the production of the periodical returns issued by the Board of Trade. " I beg to inclose a copy of the present list of articles enumerated under the head of woollen manufactures, and, as my lords would be glad that the amended list should be brought into operation from the commencement of the coming year, I am to request that you will invite the Chamber of Commerce at !Bradford to enter upon the con sideration of this subject at their earliest convenience.—L am, sir, your obedient servant, " JAMES BOOTH." The — PRESIDENT said the manner in which woollen and worsted manufactures had been mixed up in the returns of exports attracted the attention of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce six or seven years ago, and from time to time applications had been made to the Board of Trade with a view to an alteration. Now the Board of Trade seemed to be alive to the question which that Chamber had been pressing upon its attention for years, he sug gested that the proper course would be to appoint a committee for the purpose of preparing a suitable classification to be sent up. He had no doubt that the information obtained in negotiating the French treaty would be useful in making a classification. It might be a question Whether the terms " milled" and " unmilled" would not be the best to empLoy to distinguish woollens and worsteds. He admitted that it was very difficult to draw a line of demar cation, " and "unmilled" were the ter vas THE COTTON TRADE. The population returns of 1851 show that nearly a million of men,women, and children in this land are directly dependent upon the cotton manufac tures. When the returns of 1861 have been equally well sifted, we shall probably find that this number has been very greatly increased during the interven ing ten years; and if we add some estimate of the proportion of our population indirectly dependent upon the profits of these manufactures, we shall obtain some insight into the reasons of that intense interest with which public men of all parties and commercial men of every grade are now watching the statistical tables of imports and exports which are monthly issued from the Board of Trade. The last of these now lies before us, and its first aspect is somewhat startling. Eight millions sterling, or, to speak precisely, £7,929,014, make up a mass of money not to be overlooked even among the tre mendous gold heaps that are accumulated and swept away in the transactions of British commerce. Eight millions are the deficit in our imports during the last nine months. But, as the computation goes on, the figures become even yet more formidable. Eight millions upon the nine months return of .£101,724,346 show only a decrease of 73-, per cent. But when we compare September with September we find that the falling off in the last month had increased from 73 to nearly 18 per cent. as compared with the September of 1860. We are, therefore, continuing to increase our distance from the favourable re turns of former years. In September, for the first time, great adverse figures appear as unwelcome novelties in our returns. In one month there is a decrease of a million and a half in our exports of cottons; our woollens have fallen off to the extent of a quarter of a million ; linens :have declined to an equal extent; and metals have sunk rather more than a quarter of a million below the amount of the exportations of the September of 1860. A succession of y ears con ti nua lly showing greatincrease of prosperity is thus suddenly broken. Instead of going on increasing our manufactures in a ratio which made timid men tremble, and finding markets for them at prices which made even san guine men rub their hands with joy, we find the flood tide of prosperity first slacken, then stand still, and now ebb. Al rea d y we can mar k i n mil lions the distance between the high-water mark and the level of the fallen tide. There is no uncertainty as to the cause of this disturbance of our on war d course o f i ncrease i n profitableindustry. The articles in which the decrease has occurred tell the whole tale. It is in cotton and in cotton yarn, in woollens and in silks, in hardware and in metals, that we have gone backwards. In other matters, such as machinery, we have not only maintained, but even exceec:ed, the high standard of the S e pt em b er o f l as t year ; and in the miscellaneous articles we have advanced more than half a million beyond the returns of September, 1860. The decrease, therefore, is directly referable to one cause—the uncomfortable condition of the nation which has been our best customer in ordinary times. Our immediate neighbours deal with us as ever. We sell more candles, and cheese, and leather, and sugar, and telegraph wires; and the great bulk of our cotton trade works on upon a scale which, though a decrease from that of last year, is still a tremendous advance upon the transactions of a few years previous. We are suffering, as all must suffer who have business transactions with unfortunate or improvident people. When, however, we compare our public returns with those of the Atlantic ports, the con trast is stupendous. The consequences of war have been to the ports of America almost the annihila tion of commerce ; to us they have been a startling check to a continually progressive increase which we had almost come to consider as a natural law. Two years ago we were stunned with stories of the enormous wealth which the engines of Manchester were hourly creating. Then we saw the efforts which were made to meet the eager requirements of the world—how new factories were arising in every valley in the neighbourhood of the great Cotton Metropolis, and how every existing factory was doubled in power of production. It was a great spring upwards after a long experience of merely ordinary prosperity—a flood tide coming in, like the great wave of the Severn. China bad begun to absorb in her newly opened provinces a small taste of the barbarian products ; India was subsid ing into peace and the consumption of printed cali coes ; America was buying lavishly from Sheffield, Manchester, and Leeds. Few of us ever realized to ourselves the certainty that this could not last. Old business men often said, but hardly believed, that something in some part of the world must go wrong according to all the doctrine of probabili ties.

LAMB ETH.—OMNIBUS OPPOSITION TO Mn; TRAIN'S TRAMWAY.—Mr. William Knell, a gentle man, residing at No. 1, Abbey-gardens, Abbey road, St. John's Wood, appeared before Mr. Elliott, on a summons to show cause why he refused to pay his fare of 4d. for his conveyance from the Circus, Piccadilly, to the Horns at Kennington. Charles Smart, the conductor of one of Ball's Brixton omnibuses, No. 6,000, said that on Monday week Mr. Knell got into his bus at the Circus on his journey to Brixton. On reaching the end of Chester-street, in the Kennington-road, he stopped to put down a lady, and because his driver happened to stop on the tramway the defendant called him a scamp and a blackguard, and told him he had no business whatever to go on the tramway. He told him he was not accountable for the act of his driver in pulling on the tramway, but the defendant still kept on abusing him, called on all the passengers to get out, got out himself, and refused to psy the 4d. fare. He then asked for his card, which he at first refused, but ultimately gave it to him. In cross-examination by the defendant's solicitor, the witness denied having crossed the tramway more than once ; that he had not run against the heads of the horses in one of the tramway cars, nor in any way endangering the safety of the passen gers, who, including the defendant, were nine in number. The defendant, in reply to the complaint, said that on the night in question he got into the vehicle of which the complainant was the conductor, as stated, to proceed to Brixton, and the omnibus went at a steady, proper pace until it passed Westminster bridge, but after hee occasion po horses i point had af c d o t n h d eu narrowlyct t tramway o a f m t vv b the dri ver r i e a v err eatedly to let hi m ou t, and he had no hesitation in sayi ng that he had him selfTw The s e a ta n hr d ai vt t e h rs e od w mr h oe v o es l ee serious u s t a h n e ad p c c a ai s ed s re e on n s tgs hadet r h s e , a tn n roa d t m t h h e ar pawe rails l o ces n anfp d ere e de : -. • consequences, told o l h his e called f e 110 w to . the contrary, their danger.
