Natives, sad saving 10 itee 'wile. of waste. By
the increasing use of self-acting apparatus as much
as one-third of the human labour is saved in soma
mills. A new mill is pointed out as having ad-
ventages which will save 10 per cent. in labour,
besides a great economy of power, light, fuel, and
fresh air. All this strongly resembles the case
of the American industrial policy at this moment,
and of the policy of every industrial department
in modern times. The first result of the terrible
English strikes in the early part of the century
was the invention of labour-saving machinery.
The same thing is going on in America now—
even in the agricultursl districts of the West,
where the war has made men scarce. New kinds
and high degrees of agricultural machine work may
be seen there which would astonish, we are told,
even the advanced improvers of tillage in this
country. Thus we see provision making already
for a vastly extended production when the diffi-
culties of the hour are overcome.

But this is not all yet. Alongside with the
actual non-employment of Lancashire operatives,
and with the preparation for a day, near at hand,
when all the hands will be too few for the work,
we see great seaults from the increase of a mate-
rial which is largely superseding cotton. Wool,
flax, and certain kinds of silk have come into
immense demand ; but the new vas of jute seems
more portentous than all the rest together. We
are told that the Dundee people are trying
to keep quiet the present extraordinary
state of their trade, but that the facts are
such as must moon fix the attention of
Lancashire, and indeed of the whole country.'
Some Scotch speculators awhile ago set tip in
France the business of spinning jute—labour being
cheaper in France than at borne. The demand
for this jute yarn from Dundee is said to be enor-
mous ; and it wall may be so if, as we are told,
the price of the raw material is 20. par lb.,
while that of cotton is 2a. or half-a-erown—the

Arrx• another sitting of more than three hours
the Conference can hardly be said to have ad-
vanced • single step towards effecting the object
for which it was assembled, the prospect of its
agreeing on any satisfactory terms of peace being
apparently as distant as ever. The divergence of
opinion, not only between the belligerents, but be-
tween Austria and Prussia and the neutral
Powers, is so wide, that as yet they have not been
able even to agree on any common basis of dis-
cussion. The German Powers repudiate altogether
their treaty engagements towards Denmark, ae-
'sifting that the war has liberated them from all
international obligations relating to the Danish
State, even those solemnly contracted in concert
with the other Powers, and avowedly
for European objects. On the other hand, the
Danish Plenipotentiaries necessarily insist on the
provisions of the London Treaty as binding on all
its signatories, and in this view they are, of course,
supported by the neutral Powers. It is clear,
therefore, that unless Austria and Prussia modify
the point of view in harmony with the judgment
of the modiating Powers, the deliberations of the
Conference can have no result, as there will be
no opportunity of discussing any scheme of com-
promise, or even of bringing forward any really
fair and conciliatory proposal. Any attempt on
their part of the German plenipotentiaries to evade
this preliminary difficaltyby refining on their obliga-
tion s under the Treaty, admitting them towards '
their co-signatories bat denying them towards
Denmark, must in an assembly of practical nego- '
tiators necessarily fail. Such confused logic
would not, of course, bear serious discussion.
If the Powers who signed the Treaty of London
are bound at all, they are of course bound towards
Denmark, on whose behalf the treaty wee made.
If the Conference, therefore, is to do anything at all,
the Treaty of London must obviously be taken as
a starting point ; sad it may be hoped that before
the next meeting this preliminary difficulty will be
so far overcome as to allow of the real business,
the discussion as to terms of peace, being entered
on. The interval affords ample time for reflection,
as the Conference will not meet again until Satur-
day week, the 28th inst. More than half the
time agreed upon for the cessation of hostilities
will then have expired, and unless all preliminary
difficulties are then overcome there will be little
chance of the deliberations leading to any practical
result.

jute having superseded cotton in a pretty wide
range of fabrics. We have heard from time to
time of the Americana having given up the use of
cotton for one article after another—ships' sail.,
bagging, kc. ; and now it appears that jute, of
which India always affords an inexhaustible supply.
is the material wanted and used in its place.
' The American " bagging" manufacture has
oome over hither ; and Dundee could
tell wonderful things about it. Then,
there is not only a diversified use of jute yarn
for bedding and other furniture, sod underclothing,
but an application of it to ladies' dresses and gen-
tlemen's external garments. People are looking
from the pressure of work in and about Dundee
to the non-employment in Lancashire—from the

prodigious profits in the Scotch district to the
Relief Committees in the English, and asking
whether thou cannot he a more equal distribution
of work, wages, and profits.
Thus does the scenery of industrial history vary,
bringing a lesson with each change. The practical
noes show themselves as occasion calls ; and it is
strictly a practical use to study and note the facts
for future guidance.

WHEN the fact of the cotton famine could no
longer be denied or disputed, and some people
were naturally overwhelmed with dread of the
consequences, others began to speak of the interest
that would arise out of the operation of so unpre-
cedented a calamity in producing new phenomena,
and some students of social history prophesied
that durable good would spring out of the bitter
root of a not undeserved adversity. There has
been, within two or three weeks, so remarkable a
disclosure of significant facts bearing upon certain
industries, that the time has evidently come for
noting how we stand.
When we reckoned our ruined Lancashire
operatives by the million it would have seemed
strange to bear talk of a deficiency of that p arti-
cular sort of labour ; yet there were persons who
foresaw it, both on the spot and at a distance.
How stands the matter now f

A two years' stoppage of the replenishment of
any labour supply alters the proportion between
the employing and employed class very essentially.
In Lancashire the case is now very striking.
While the needy manufacturers and very small
capitalists have been driven out, no doubt to a
considerable extent, large capitalists have been
building new mills, or enlarging the old ones to an
extent which promises to call for many thousands
of hands before very long. Meantime, the supply
of workers has been stopped from below. Boys
and girls have not been trained to millwork for two
years past. Again, considerable numbers of the
mill hands have left the business, never to return
to it. Some thousands have emigrated ; other thou-
sands have migrated to various parts of the kingdom.
We bear now what must seem to those most con •
corned very good news from the scenes of em-
ployment under the Public Works Act, and under
several of the private improvers who are benefiting
their estates and neighbourhoods by employing
Lancashire men and boys. By practice the intel-
ligent operatives of that district have become
better hands at their new work than rural
labourers often are to the end of their days. They
earn more than they have ever earned since the
closing of their mill, and their health and strength
have improved so much that they will bring up
their boys to outdoor labour, and perhaps keep to
it themselves. Of the women, meantime, some
are picking cotton in Queensland, or making money
in service in other colonies, or working in Scotch
or Yorkshire manufactories, or, in not a few
cases, trying for the first time in their
lives to be housewifely and motherly in
their homes. From these causes, and from
death, there has been a great reduction of opera-
tive labour ; and, from its nature, it must be a
somewhat durable diminution. Some contemporary
phenomena are very striking. We know by the
reports of the Factory Inspectors that " the mill-
" owners expect a trade of which no one has ever
" yet seen the like." Till the proper raw material
comes the "cotton waste," formerly supplied to the
paper mills or thrown away, is worked up again,
and keeps a considerable number of hands at the
mill. While all means are used to keep the people
on the spot, amidst strong incitements to move to

fence separates without having laid down the balm
of n treaty -of pews, the ceanaion will be at
its height. We have predicted from the first
that it is not between Denmark and Germany
that the most violent debates would arise during
the course of the war begun upon the Eider, and
which will end we know not where if it should not end
in London in the ball of the European Coefeesince.
It can be seen now whether we were deceived. All
that hatred can inspire in the way of bitter ex-
pressions is shown in the Loudon journals towards
Prussia and Auatrig, in the journals of Vienna
towards England and Prussia, in the jour-
nals of Berlin towards Austria and England.
France alone is spared by everyone—or, rather,
everyone solicits it to conquer something at its con-
venience. This justice will be done us also, that
from the first we have told our readers that such
would be the march of events and the progress of
popular passions in Europe. We have even
insinuated pretty clearly that what every-
one would offer us would be a small piece
of Germany. g Take Cologne,' say the Eng-
lish, and you shall see how we will cry
"Hurrah !'" Take Mayenee,' is the cry from
the banks of the Danube—'that is the affair of
the Federal Diet ; take even Cologne, into
the bargain—that is the affair of Prussia. Take
—take, and you will afford pleasure to us who
cannot annex Holstein." Ho,' say the
Berliners in a chorus, 'do not take Cologne,
you will thus afflict good friends who
do not wish you any harm. But why
should you not take Hesse Homburg, Spire,
and Landau I Bavaria would, perhaps, com-
plain a little, and the house of Heise also, but
what doss that signify to us i Take—take.' The
powers which make us these fine offers ask for leave
to take a province or two as the price of their con-
descension ; but at the bottom the principal motive
which urges them to aggrandise us is less the de-
in to gain something themselves, than the disin-
terested voluptuousness which they experience in
main a neighbour and an ally."
A London letter in the Temps, by Louis Blanc,
recommends French people not to trust too much
M the assurances of certain English prints, that
England would see with equani-nity an encroach-
ment of France on the Rhine. Such opinions are,
he says, in some cams the effect of very sincere but
transient anger, and in others they are expressed
only for the purpose of frightening Prussia. But
he thinks that if France were seriously to act upon
the permission affected to be given, public opinion
in England would soon take another turn, and it
would, moreover, be " deplorable" if France were
to presume upon such fragile encouragement as the
contents of a few newspaper articles to embark in
a career of territorial conquests. He considers the
true greatness of France to reside " rather in the
sympathy she awakens than in the fear she may
inspire ; in tbe power of her ideas rather than in
the strength of her cannons ; in the extension of
her moral influence more than in that of her
territory."

thekers an impression was very prevalent in the
P•lais de Justice that the debate on the old affair
of Lesurques, and particularly M. Jules Favre's
speech, would so revive the feeling, always strong
In France, against the punishment of death, that
La Pommerais would get the benefit of " ex-
tenuating circumstances." The jury, how-
ever, have not . stultified themselves by ap-
pending such an anomalous qualification to •
verdict finding the prisoner guiffy of a murder
which he must have premeditated in cold blood
for months before its execution. The false news
of La Pommerais' acquittal was circulated at the
Bourse, and obtained so much credence as to be
taken notice of in this evening's Pays.
The France notices rumours which are, I believe,
not altogether unfounded, of ministerial changes
being in contemplation. It does not think
they have the character of what it calls a
" proximate eventuality ;" and, at any rate,
no new appointments are to be expected
until after the close of the legislative ses-
sion. I believe no one knows what will be the
tendency of the Emperor's next change of agents,
but the impression is general ; and M. Boudet and
one or two other ministers were never meant to
hold their offices otherwise than as ministers of
transition. A cabinet, of which Persigny and
Haussmann should be the leading members, would,
to my thinking, signify tyranny and extravagance.
Persigny certainly seeks an opportunity to be re-
venged upon the large towns for voting against him
is May, 1863 ; and Hauesmann is the representa-
tive, par e.ccellence, of that famous imperial prin-
ciple expounded by M. Persigny in his Rommel
bucolic, the essence of which is always to borrow as
much money as your revenue will enable yon
to pay the interest of. How M. Fould and M.
Rouher could get on with such consorts it is
difficult to conceive. Fould, some months ago,
tendered his resignation over and over again, bus
was always made to withdraw it ; and of late be
seems to have been resigned only to forget the
economical doctrines propounded in the letter of
1861, on the strength of which be last came into
office. A Havre journal lately mid that M.
Rouher was disgusted with public life altogether,
and would even resign his seat in the Senate. The
great zeal he has lately displayed in answering the
opposition speeches, does not, however, look as if
his eloquenue was merely the dying strains of the
swan. It can hardly be doubted that the Emperor
is meditating some surprise ; and it would not
be a surprise if people knew what he was
going to do. As M. Jules Fav:e strikingly
said the other day, the government orators who de-
fend the Emperor's policy in the Chambers are far
the most part ignorant of it themselves.
A mayor of a country village near Amiens—M.
Bate!, Mayor of Flancourt—was found drowned in
the Peronne canal on Thursday, and it is supposed
that the vivid flashes of lightning in a storm which
overtook him as he was walking home at 10 at night
dazzled his vision, and caused him to tumble into
the water.

The Bourse is weak, and without business. The
changes in quotations are insignificant
