Spirit of the Public Journals. MR. COBDEN'S PEACE PAMPHLET. (From the Times of this day.) Everybody knows that Mr. Cobden has many s trong points. He can argue, he can declaim, he can sophisticate a plain question, and apparently resolve a difficult one by sliding dexterously over its tender places, and he has a faculty of throwing in observations which prejudice the cause ho dis putes without tendering any distinct or tangible issue. But one faculty Mr. Cobden undoubtedly does not possess. .He is an orator, but he i is no prophet. Whether it be from a defect of magi- I nation, from the impossibility he labours under of stating a case more fairly to himself than he does to the public, or from what other cause, we know not, but Mr. Cobden is assuredly, of all men, the least prescient, and, even if we were to allow him to be right as to the present, the least able to form sound opinions concerning the future. When, there fore, we received a pamphlet with the ,i rather arro gant title, " What Next and Next implying that its gifted author can see the i m mediate future, and, taking his stand on that fut ure, as if it were already present, can also unfold to us the events that are to arise out of events t hat have not yet arisen, the last name we should expect to see subscribed to such a high effort o f the prophetic faculty is that of Richard Cobden. Even as Liston believed himself to be a misunderstood tragedian, and Petrarch de spised his Italian verses, which everybody reads, an d trusted his immortality to his Latin poems, which nobody can endure, so does Mr. Cobden come forth to show us the things that are to be hereafter. What, then, is next, and what is next to that t We are to attack Nicholaieff, and it is granted that we may take it ; Perekop will be invested, the forts of the Danube attacked, Odessa occupied, every place within fifty miles of the Black Sea may, Mr. Cobden thinks, fall into the hands of the allies —we may march to Tiflis, drive the Russians from Georgia and their Transcaucasian provinces ;—" This is the next,"—the Paulo-postefuturum of the advo cate of peace, and a very pretty prospect too. Most people will think such a future worth many toils and many sacrifices, and Russia has but little reason to exult in the destiny which her advocate and her prophet foresees for her. For our part, we wish that Mr. Cobden had not made these pre dictions, for we have a thorough confidence that what he foretells will never come to pass, and be gin to despair of the fortune of the country so soon as he takes it under his patronage. Now comes the grand problem. Granted all these circumstances, what will Russia do ? " She will never submit," says Mr. Cobden, " because we cannot capture her capital"—a bad argument enough, for the fate of Napoleon warns us that the capture of the capital is not alone sufficient to bring her to terms ; and, secondly, because it is not in our power to put upon her a pressure by destroying her commerce and cutting oft the sources of her revenue. This argument Mr. Cobden ex pounds at great length. Russia is a Protectionist country, and it is edifying to see the old leader of the Anti-Corn Law League arguing that the Protectionist policy of Russia has inflicted upon her commercial isolation, and thus made her indepen dent of foreign trade in time of war. We congra tulate Lord Derby on the possession of such 4 con vert, and rejoice that the cause of free trade no longer stands in need of such defence as Mr. Cobden's pacific notions can allow him to give it. Then Russia has a large internal trade and an overland commerce with Asia, which no block ading squadron can reach—forced, indeed, and unnatural, but on that account, as it now seems to the advocate of unrestricted commerce, the more sure and reliable in time of pressure. Then comes Mr. Gladstone's topic—the patriotism of R . ussia, and the ardour with which her religion inspires a naturally peaceful people in the cause of armed aggression and territorial annexation. But Russia has another safeguard equally strong, and, to our mind, still more paradoxical. Russia is excessively poor, and therefore not formidable as an aggressive Power ; but she can raise every thing in kind from her own territories, and there fore is still able to support a protracted struggle. Here, then, is the sum of Mr. Cobden's argument : Russia is Protectionist, forces her trade into a wrong channel ; her people are ignorant, unwar like, and fanatical ; her revenues are scanty, and her only resource is the robbing her people of those raw materials for which she cannot pay, and from these elements of strength we are to conclude t hat no amount of pressure put upon her by the allies will induce her to come to such terms as are pro posed to her by Austria, whose pacific tendencies Mr. Cobden at one time could not too much ad mire. Had she been highly commercial, with a flourishing trade, an intelligent, warlike, and en lightened people, an increasing revenue, and large accumulated capital, would not the proposition have been easier of proof ? It matters not to Mr. Cobden—he could have demnn tr,t e d it hy uuv, 0.1 ne nes not got filet, ne is equally able able to demonstrate it by tho other. His view of the power of the allies presents the exact complement of the paradox. The allies are wealthy, and therefore cannot afford to spend money ; their people are well off, and therefore will not fight ; have large commercial interests, and therefore cannot afford to risk them ; have rea lised the advantages of manufactures and commerce, and therefore are better off than if, as at the be ginning of the last war, they were only going to realise them ; and, although a paper currency will enable Russia indefinitely to prolong the struggle, England and France can neither forego this expe dient nor hare recourse to it without certain ruin. Thus, in war, wealth is poverty and poverty is wealth. False principles of government are stronger and better than true. Slavery is more powerful than freedom, superstition than en lightenment, and, in a word, barbarism than civili sation. Having finished prophesying, Mr. Cobden betakes himself to practical admonition, and tells us what he will do if we will only be wise enough to place our destinies in his prudent and consistent hands. First, we will withdraw every soldier from Russian ground. The reason given is cogent to a pacific, but scarcely persuasive to a magnanimous mind. We can now bring them away with safety, but it may not always be so. It may not indeed. Let us run away for fear of danger, and then, what ever becomes of our credit, we shall, at any rate, save our lives. Secondly, as to the terms of peace. The solution is simple. We are to have no terms a t all. If we ask terms Russia won't grant them ; if she grant them she won't keep them. Why, then, ask for terms l Difficulties vanish at every step. We have disbanded our army, sent our negotiators about their business, an d a re no w confronting Russia, with her half-milli on o f so ldi ers without attempting to make eithe r p eace or war . Th e atti tude is novel and dignified. Thi r dl y , b y ea y ( 5f bringing the matter to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion, we should plunge into German politics, and try and persuade Austria and P russ i a , " who are too wise and selfish" (convertible ter ms , in Mr. Cobden's opinion) " to fight now," that Germany had better make a league to resist the encroach ments of Russia for the future. Tins, together with our assurance that we do not intend to fight ourselves, having found the operations more un pleasant than we expected, will, no doubt, rouse the German nation to vigorous and united action, and strike a terror into the councils of Russia which the capture "of part of Sebastopol " has failed to inspire. If we fail in this mission, as even Mr. Cobden admits that we may, we must reconsider our views —conclude, on the authority of Russian- Iced Germany, that our alarm was unfounded, and . repent in sackcloth and ashes for having doubted the good intentions of the Czar. Then follows an act of penance. The United States keep no ships of war of their own, and naturallv l a o n m)tlik our keeping 4 any. We must pleasethematc RussiaY price; and,though it would be degrading to State, a single ship at the bidding of a foreign such . a course would be both honourable ad. expedient to Eng and. This, then, is Mr. Cobden's advice :—Withdraw your army, disarm your fleet, try t o bring Ger many over to your opinion, and, if you cannot do that, adopt hers ; but, whatever you do, leave the Russian army and the Russian fleet intact, demand no terms from Russia, but leave Turkey, Sweden, and Norway to her vengeance, acid spin cottons And calicoes until the inevitable hour shall arrive when by a pacific triumph—for a nation that has done this can never draw the sword again—the Greek cross shall flaunt from the dome of St. Paul's, and a picture of the Trinity be worshipped by our enlightened conquerors in the Cathedral of West minster. (Front the Daily News of this day.) Of course something must be C said about Mr. Cobden's Pamphlet, because itis Mr. o hd ei c e . , Had it b een anonymo us, no one would have deemed it worthy of a remark—no one would have taken tho trouble to toil through its forty-eight closely printed pages of irrelevant S tatistics, self-contradic tions, and conclusions which have nothing to do with their premis es . But as Mr. Cobden's name is on the title-pa ge people will talk about it, and will ins:st upen being told what others think of it. We will attempt to describe it. More we cannot pretend to do. It is one of those rambling, inco herent, misty productions, which convince nobody, and yet cannot be answered, because they present nothing tangible to lay hold of. Mr. Cobden begins by declaring that he will leave out of view altogether the objects of the war. " In the following remake all allusion to the ori ginal cause of the war with Russia has been stu- odiously avoided, and I therefore venture to hope that the most strenuous supporters of the war and - the most ardent advocates of peace may meet on common ground to discuss the probabilities of the future." It would certainly be convenient for Mr. Cobden if he could persuade the supporters of the -war to agree to this proposal. His aim is to show - that to coerce Russia is a difficult and dangerous -undertaking. This nobody denies ; though few -Think it quite so difficult and dangerous as Mr. Cobden professes to do. Now the only valid rea :son men can have for engaging in any dangerous or difficult enterprise is the importance of the ob jects sought to be attained. When Mr. Cobden, therefore, invites the supporters of the war to leave - its objects out of consideration, he coolly invites them to take part in a one-sided debate, in which he shall be at liberty to bring forward all his argu ments and they shall not be allowed to state theirs. With singular inconsequence, Mr. Cobden, after declaring that ho will leave out of view the objects of the war, proceeds to declare in the very next page that " the war entered into by France and England must be carried on without intermission until peace is concluded with Turkey." This axiom he follows up by what is meant to be a demonstra tion that France and England cannot compel Rus sia to make peace with Turkey. What is this but to argue that the war ought to be abandoned be cause its object is unattainable ? And this is what Mr. Cobden calls " studiously avoiding all allusion to the original cause of the war." The attempt to demonstrate that the object of the war is unattain able is quite worthy of this flagrant inconsistency. Mr. Cobden maintains that Russia cannot be com pelled to come to terms, unless by the occupation of its metropolis or the blockade of its ports. Its metropolis, he maintains, is unassailable, because " the example and fate of Napoleon will for ever forbid an invasion of the interior of Russia," and " Petersburg stands twenty miles above Cronstadt, on a shallow river." The blockade of its ports, Mr. Cobden declares, will be perfectly inefficient, because the protectionist policy of Russia has ren t dered it independent of sea-borne commerce. Be fore making this assertion Mr. Cobden ought to have taken the trouble to inquire what proportion the Customs duties of Russia bear to the whole revenue of the empire, and what proportion the Customs duties levied in the ports bear to the whole revenue derived from Customs duties. On this point he maintains a prudent silence. It is not without a reason that he shirks this important part of the question. He assumes that Russia can protract the struggle indefinitely, because it grows more than 1 en ough of food to provision its armies. He ]eaves out of view, that even in Russia money must be paid for munitions of war, for the transport of sol diers and military stores, and for other purposes ; and that to this end the Government must have money as well as corn and beeves. In the dozen pages which Mr. Cobden devotes to a dissertation on the Protectionist policy of Russia and its internal trade—which might not be alto gether valueless in a discussion on commercial policy, but which is rendered inapplicable to the question of war or peace by the suppressions we nave pointed out—a passage occurs too character istic to be passed over without notice. Alluding to some writers who have published remarks on Russia, he says, sneeringly;—" These gentlemen have, I doubt not, travelled longer and further in Russia than myself. My only advantage has been, that I had possibly an eye and ear more open to the com mercial movements and the economical resources of the country." Mr. Cobden likes to put down an antagonist, when debating about any foreign coun try, by declaring he has seen it with his own eyes. In this he reminds us of a Scotch humourist of our acquaintance, who on the strength of his having once crossed the Tweed, and spent half-an-hour in England, took upon him to lay down the law on all questions regarding English pronunciation. What our deceased friend did in jest Mr. Cobden is continually doing in dead earnest. He has visited several foreign countries, lout has not resided in any one long enough to know it from personal ob servation. His flying visit to Russia was comical enough. He does not speak or understand one word of the language. His departure from Berlin was telegraphed to St. Petersburg. He was taken possession of at the frontier by a Government official appointed to receive him ; and passed from the hands of one official to another, like a bale of goods, till he left the country. He saw nothing but what they were pleased he should see; everything he was told was interpreted to him by them. He spent one forenoon at the fair of Nishnei- Novgorod, and remained in each of the other places he visited a corresponding length of time. He proceeded straight from the Prussian frontier to Moscow and Nishnei-Novgorod, and thence to St. Petersburg. In short, he saw as much of Russia, and had as good opportunities of making observa tions while in it, as Lord Ma.cartney and his suite enjoyed in China on their mission to Pekin. And on the strength of this he presumes to pass off his plentiful lack of knowledge on the public as irre frNfr2lNitrinext proceeds to descant on the pa triotism and love of country of the Russians, and the finances of Russia. He scarcely makes an as sertion that is not contradicted by well-known facts, or by himself in some subsequent page, or that does not rest upon confessedly unreliable evidence. " There is no greater delusion in the world than that which attributes to the Russian people a desire to overrun and occupy, like the Goths and Huns, any part of Western Europe." To what, then, are we to attribute the annexation of Finland, the Baltic provinces, Poland and Bessa rabia to the empire ?—to what the repeated attempts to seize on Wallachia and Moldavia?—to what the machinations which had in view the annexation of Hungary ? " The Russian," he says again, " pos sesses in an eminent degree the organ to which phrenologists have given the name of ' adhesive ness.' He is passionately wedded to his village home." Yet in another page we find him asserting, " There is no other country, with the exception of the United States, where the inhabitants will un dertake such long journeys by road or river as in Russia." Again ; " With the exception of the dis position to encroach upon neighbouring Mahometan countries" such as Finland, the Baltic provinces, and Poland], " the people feel no interest iu fo reign politics, and the intervention in the affairs of Europe excites no sympathy in Russia. On the contrary, I found among the ' old Russian party' at Moscow a spirit of hostility to the in cessant interference of the Czar in the politics of the West. In fact, the foreign policy of the late reign was very much the offspring of the personal character of Nicholas." Wherein did the foreign policy of the reign of Nicholas differ from that of the reigns of Peter 1., Catherine 11., and Alexander I.? Were not the ministers of these monarchs Menschikoffs, Orloffs ' and Potemkins ? What is the foreign policy of the reign of Alexander II.? This last question Mr. Cobden has himself answered. " There is not a fact or conjecture respecting the finances of France that has not been passed in re view at St. Petersburg, where everything con nected with the resources of the Allies in men and nts,ney is as well known as in Paris or London." Could this information be obtained without the aid of a permanently organised system of local espionage ? And does the maintenance of such a eystem look like a want of interest in the politics of Western Europe ? As an illustration of Mr. Cobden's estimate of the value of his own authori ties, take the following :—" I subjoin a detailed account of the income and expenditure of the Rus sian Government, which I obtained at St. Peters burg. The accounts are of old date, and for various years; and although I have no reason to doubt in the main. their correctness, yet I do not offer them as of any statistical value." And yet he expects his readers to accept the inferences ho draws from these out-of-date, unreliable documents. He could have got more recent and more trustworthy ac counts in von Reden ; but then he could not have prefaced them with, " I obtained them at St. Petersburg." But we must hasten to Mr. Cobden's exposition of " what course I should take if I were, without reference to the oast, responsible for the policy of the country." Mr. Cobden's scheme of a future foreign policy for England has, indeed, no con ceivable connection with the previous disser tation, but it may be an object of curiosity as the programme of Cobden the expectant Premier of Great Britain. In the first place, then, Mr. Cobden " would seek., above all things, to withdraw every British soldier from Russian territory." The reason lie ass n,,oi r Itiagnyan the eia i t s yls : seo — cuboetn " daf O ou p.r u ,lt, r ah :e a r : m l ,e y , s s r o n r a y d i s n c o r e w b d i t. e bo I brought of a peace I s h ou ld attacl‘h'i the promises of Russia. with regard value to w h t a h t e e v e r t terms o " In the third place, he would rely partite treaty of Austri a with France and o E n n a g l a t rrtid to make Germany the bulwark of Western Europe against Russian aggression. In the fourth place, if he could not prevail Il° n Austria to enter into such a treaty, be "should i ho - d'sposed to reconsider his own vi ews on the sub 1 ject, arid doubt whether he had not been led away by au exaggerated alarm." Mr. Cobd en , it is obvious, has s tudied honest Dogberry to good purpose. Dogberry. * * * This is your charge ; you shall comprehend all vagrorn men ; you are to bid every man stand in the Prince's name. 2d Watch. But if 'a will not stand ? Dogberry. Why, then take no note of him, but let him go ; and presently cal the rest of ail watch to gether, and thank God you are rid of a knave. And lastly, in the fifth place, " I would not risk the life of an Englishman, or .4pend another f;hil- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY ling, for the barren triumph of extorting pacific pledges from the Russian Government ; and hav ing come to this determination, there would no longer be any obstacle to peace." Under this head Mr. Cobden adds that, "whilst attaching no value to the limitation of the number of Russian ships, exclusively," be would try to persuade France and England to reduce their naval estab lishments at the close of the war, although (or because—it does not clearly appear which) there appears to be a growing desire in the United States to increase their navy. Believing it impossible to persuade or compel one State to diminish its naval force, Mr. Cobden would try his hand on three or four. Really it would be sheer waste of time to throw away a word in the way of criticism on the foreign policy of Mr Premier Cobden. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Colossus, 81, screw ship, Captain Robinson, was taken into dock yesterday at Portsmouth to complete her refit for the ensuing Baltic campaign. The Blenheim, 60, screw block-ship, Capt. W. H. Hall, was taken out of dock at Portsmouth yesterday after a refit. The Basilisk, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Jenner, was taken into the steam basin yesterday at Portsmouth for repairs. The Norman steam-transport left Portsmouth yesterday afternoon for the Thames. The Vivid, paddle-wheel steam despatch boat, Master Commander W. H. Allen, left Portsmouth on Monday night for the eastward. The Avon steam-transport, Second Master Veitch, left Ports mouth on Monday night with supernumeraries for the eastward, and the Rhadamanthus left yesterday also for the eastward, to ship more machinery for the ♦easels in the engineers' hands at Portsmouth. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Vesuvius, 6, Commander Hore, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the Blaek Sea. The Borussia, No. 33 transport, arrived yesterday from Liverpool to take in troops, &c. The new screw steam-ship Belgique, Capt. Tack, which left Antwerp on the 30th of December, and Southamp ton on Sunday morning, with passengers and Belgian mails for New York, put back to Plymouth Sound dis abled yesterday afternoon. She got as far as 90 miles west of the Lizard on Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock, when it was found that there were 18 inches of water in her hold, and that three of her pumps were choked ; her fireplaces and cylinders are only four feet from the bottom of the ship, and the master took the precaution to be speak the assistance of the passengers to throw the cargo overboard in case of emergency. The leak was kept under by the two engine pumps, and against a strong easterly wind she returned to Plymouth in about 23 Lours. The gun-boat Bustard, Lieut. W. Hewett (acting) com mander, move d down from Woolwich basin yesterday morning to the Arsenal wharf to receive her ammunition and sea stock. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Pearl was re moved from the inner to the outer basin and placed under the sheers for the purpose of coaling. The crew of the Conqueror, 100, Capt. T. C. Symonds, at Plymouth, got up fore, main, and mizen topmast rigging on Monday. The paddle-wheel steam-frigate Sampson, from Ports mouth, with seamen belonging to the Neptune, 120, Capt. Hutton, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, and left on Monday for Portsmouth. The Albion, 90 was warped on Monday to the sheer hulk in Hamoaze to have her masts taken out. Among the hories landed from the steam-transport Cambrian at Plymouth on Monday was a beautiful Arab, a present to Lord Hardinge, the General-Com iranding-in-Chief. So great is the facility in reuniting the disjointed tim brs composing the experimental mortar raft at Wool wich, that in three hours after receiving the pontoon cylinders, which have been repaired and strengthened, the raft was again in service order. This is an important item in this newly-invented species of raft, showing the ready manner in which it may be transferred to any destination. Their Serene Highnesses Prince Edward and Prince Gustavus of Saxe-Weimar, attended by Col.• Hamilton, Grenadier Guards, and two subaltern officers, paid a visit to Woolwich Arsenal yesterday morning, where they were officially attended by Col. Wilmot, Colonel Tulloh, Capt. Boxer, and Capt. Orr, representing the departmental government of the Arsenal. The visitors were conducted in the usual manner through the foun dries, various workshops, and laboratories, and repeatedly expressed their gratification as they were shown the working of the huge and powerful machinery. Before leaving the Arsenal the Princes expressed their convic tion that this important establishment was unrivalled in Europe. The adjutants of her Majesty's corps of Royal Engi neers, at Woolwich, have resolved on presenting to Quartermaster Bradford. on his recent promotion, as a testimony of their appreciation of his worth, an elegant sword, on which the following is to be engraved : " Presented to Quartermaster Michael Bradford, Royal Engineers, by the following officers who served as Act ing-Adjutants to the corps at Woolwich during the time he was Serjeant-Major there, as a mark of their esteem and regard for his character and conduct :—Capt. Theo dosius Webb, Capt. G. Ross, Capt. Fitzroy Somerset, Capt. Francis Cox, Lieut. G. Lempriere, Royal Engi neers." The authorities of the Horse Guards have forwarded an order to the Commandant of Chatham garrison to hold in readiness the men of the various depots in the provisional battalion on the Indian establishment who have gone through a conrn of instriintinn af of musketry at ftythe, and have qualified themselves for instructors in the use of the Enfield rifle, to embark for the several presidencies in India, to enable the Com mander of the Forces in that country to carry out the orders on this head. The following are the depots from which instructors will be selected :—For the Bengal station—the 10th, 32d, 35th, 6th, and 95th Regiments, one from each depot ; for Bombay—the 64th, 78th, 83d, Bth, and 80th Regiments, one man from the first three and two from the latter ; for Madras —the 74th and 84th Regiments, four instructors from the former and one from the latter.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 8 The market for cotton cloths has been quiet, but prices have not given way, and the extent to which manufacturers are still under engagement prevents many goods being pressed upon buyers. In yarns the quiet• ness is not so uniform. Buyers report in some eases that they have obtained twist at rather easier prices, but sellers have in some instances done a fair business, and in low numbers rather better prices have been obtained. The general report is one of quietness, with steady prees. The stoppage of an old and respected spinning and manufacturing house is reported, but the public will not be sufferers, the stoppage arising principally out of new family arrangements. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" There is no new feature in the market to-day. Transactions con tinue to be on a very small scale, and prices are un changed." _ _ _ LEEDS, JAN. 8 The woollen cloth markets this morning have been marked by the same cheerful tone that we have had to point out as the characteristic of the last two or three markets. There has been a fair amount of cloth, in cluding the middle and better qualities, as well as those of a commoner kind, sold. Merchants appear to be re plenishing their stocks for the spring trade. Prices :ire firm, and have slightly improved for the all-wool sorts of fabrics. The price of the raw material (wool) is very firm, with an upward tendency. The manufacturers throughout this district are gradually increasing their work, giving employment to more hands or running longer time, so that the year opens well for the opera tive as well as for the master manufacturer. In some of the outlying town!. of this district a good amount of work is doing for army and navy orders, and in the immediate neighbourhood of Leeds some extensive orders for Spanish stripes and other fabrics for the East Indies and China have been given out. The Leeds Intellivisecr of this morning thus speaks of the present position and prospects of the woollen trade : "Trade continues to show an improved tone, and se veral large London buyers have been down during the week, making purchases chiefly in anticipation of the spring demand. In the warehouses generally there is more doing for the home trade, and the American orders are double those of last year. The hall markets show little alteration, but the stocks on hand do not accumu late to any large extent. Manufacturers are remark ably well employed, and have large orders on hand. Now that the accounts of 1855 are straightened, and balances are struck, the amount of business which has been transacted at a remunerative profit is most extra ordinary, and the woollen trade is another example of the alight influence which the war has had on the com merce of the country. With many the past year has been better than the preceding ; and if the gross returns have in most instances been smaller, the absence of heavy losses, as in 1854, must be considered as a campensa- Lion. It is an open question whether, taking the trade as a whole, it has net been beneutted rnther than in jured by the war, and whether the advantages of large Government and foreign contracts have not outweighed any evils arising from monetary pressure and a con tracted home trade. Nor must the latter feature le laid altogether to the account of the war. A severe check was cer t a i n to follow the reckless overtradiag of the last few years, and if it bad been further delayed the reaction would have been all the more violent when it did come. P resen t p ros pects are good. The foreiga trade suffers no interruption ; the colonial markets are no longer choked with goods, and are returning to a more healthy state ; at home stocks of every description are light, both in the wholesale and retail trade. There is a gener a l d etermination on the par t o f the merchant to act cautiously, and on the part of the manufacturers to work only t o order. " In reference to another point of cur staple trade, we copy the following from Another article in the same journal : " The American market :it present is that which offers the most probable continuance of enjoyment generally; fer the condition of the contl nent of Europe may be so changed in a commercial point of view this year, in con sequence of the war, that we may hardly know what reliance to place upon its eteetom. And, in fact, in many parts of it our trade has declined so much of late years that we seem to have less and less to expect thence, without even reference to the war. Austria, for in stance, in whose territories there was a gradual falling off of trade with this country between 1846 and 1852 of 7 per cent., exhibits a spec ific falling off in woollen, 1 worsted, hosiery, and small wares between 1852 and 1854 of not less than 13 per cent. ; while she has in (creased the declared value of her purchases of steam engines and machinery in the same two years equal to 191 per cent. We look upon this increase as significant of the fact that her population is becoming employed on English models, if not on English machinery, in weaving such pieces as she used to buy ; and that, as coming events cast their shadows before, so our manufacturers are to learn from it that 801118 of the old markets for English goods are likely to. be narrowed rather than widened ; and that others m ust be sought among popu lations less settled, and there fore less capable of turning their attention to the arts of peace. If there is much competition among the mann facturers between now and May wool will necessarily be dearer. If that competi tion be legitimate the prices .of goods will rise. We are thankful to see the very greet caution which the manu facturers, as a body, are displaying ; and the end of it will be that, if large fortunes. are not made so fast, they will be the more safely kept when they are made." HUDDERSFIELD, JAN . . 8. There has been a decided improvement in the market to-day. More buyers attended, and the transactions effected were of a more extensive character than for some time past. Black and steel doeskins and mixtures are principally in request ; other kinds are also in good de mand. Wool firm, but in fair request. From the London Gazette of Last Night.
