THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 4,

great remonstrances are made against tbie in9reaae
of the import duties in the Indian markebi. The
attempt of the Government to raise the valua-
tions is viewed with even greater diikriour;
be-
cause the effect will be to pressarith. M 4.24eP-
tional degree of severity upon ism particular
dowse of manufactures. As regards Chins, a
IN* dual of hesitation is likewle observable
shippers, owing partly to uncertainty as
to Ls and influence of the war now ren-
dered inevitable in that region, and partly to the
knowledge that heavy shipments of koods are now
on the way to those markets.
But although shippers to the East are rendered
somewhat anxious, and the prices of Manchester
dads are declining, there is no falling off in the
activity long observed in the cotton manufacturing
districts. There has, as yet, been no opportunity
for the accumulation of stocks in Manchester,
many of the spinners and manufacturers being
still engaged in the execution of old orders. Large
contracts are still in hand, for " domestics," India
and China shirtings, and yarns of various descrip-
tions. tipon this clam of orders the manufacturers

ought to see a considerable profit, although the
reverse may be the case with the buyers. It will
not be overlooked that if the prices of the mann-
factured articles are giving way, so also is the price
of the raw material, under the influence of an
unprecedented supply. The computed stock of
cotton in Liverpool is now no less than thirteen
hundred thousand bales, having again increased to
the extent of one hundred thousand bales during
the last week. Perhaps the feature moat sug-
gestive of caution in the present condition of trade
in the cotton districts is the great increase which
is now taking place in the production of goods.
The signal prosperity enjoyed by this great interest
during the last two years, together with the
stimulus imparted by an unceasing demand for
the Eastern and other markets, has caused a by
no means inconsiderable portion of the profits to

be invested in new mills and in additional mecha-
nical appliances. Every week new spindles and
looms are coming into work. Unless the new
machinery is to lie idle, a considerable increase
in the production of manufactured commodities
seems to be probable. Meanwhile, the larger the
production, the larger must also be the number
of hands employed, the higher the wages paid,
and the more extensive the consumption of im-
ported commodities, to the advantage alike of the
merchant and of the revenue.

The reports from the other seats of manufacture
are likewise influenced by the holiday lemon. The
manufacturers of woollen goods find themselves a
much hampered by the high price of wool ;
and, in some instances, the idea is held out of
stopping the looms unless more remunerative rates
can be obtained for their goods. It is com-
plained that the prices are by no means

commensurate with those current for the
raw materiaL In some branches this may be
partly owing to the continuance of cold weather,
which has interfered greatly with the ordinary
demand for summer fabrics. The woollen trade
generally, however, though not active, is steady.
The report of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce
for the last month describes a fair amount of
business, both in the warehouses and at the
" The manufacturers are tolerably well
employed. The brisk competition experienced at
the public sales of colonial wool, which have just
terminated in London, forms a feature of impor-
tance. Although the quantity offered was large,
exceeding 40,000 bales, it met with a ready
sale, an unusually large number of foreign
buyers being present. For wool of English
growth the demand in the provincial
markets has latterly been very active, and the
I stocks in the hands of the staplers have been re-
duced to an exceedingly low point. The Leeds
report remarks that "probably there was never at
" the commencement of the new clip such a small
" quantity of old wool left over as is the case this;
" year." The markets for the new clip of wool
have accordingly opened at high prices, and a keen
competition is shown by buyers. The farmers and
graziers have had to contend with a long and most
trying winter, and have found themselves subjected
to a heavy expenditure for fodder, the prices of
which have ranged very high. The consumer is
now, in due course, complaining loudly of the high
price of meat, but in this, as well as in the com-
petition for wool, we see merely the natural com-
pensation of the agriculturist class.
The course of the money market corroborates
the evidence afforded in the reports from some of
the centres of commerce and manufacture of a
slackening of enterprise. The demand for money
has fallen off ; the amount of commercial secu-
rities in the Bauk of England has declined consi-
derably; the unemployed reserve of that establish-
ment has experienced a proportionate increase, the
total amounting now to nearly nine millions ; and
the rates of discount have accordiugly fallen.
Making allowance for the mere fright by which the
previous movements were manifestly influenced,
we can yet discern in the diminished
demand for accommodation, and in the reduced
price paid for it, the paralysing effect upon trade
of the political complications on the Continent.
We have, it is true, not much to complain of, the
great industrial and commercial interests of the
nation being generally well employed ; but the
activity now displayed &relishes an idea of the
stride which would have been taken in every
branch of business were it not for the ceaseless
anxiety inspired by the attitude of France. In-
stead of discussing the statistics of production and
of demand, and devoting their energies to testing
the capacity of new or only partially developed
markets, merchants now-a-days find themselves
watching the oscillations of the Paris Bourse and
the deceitful utterances of the Paris Moniker.

The Times remarks that the army in these islands,
though not strong in Infaatry of the Line, is, nevertheless a
formidable body. "Independently of ths3o,oootroops already
at, home we shall either have some 17,000 embodied militia,
or en equivalent addition of troops returned from abroad,
so that, including the Guards, the infantry will be upwards
of 50,000 strong. We shall also have 25,000 more in
cavalry and artillery, the latter furnished with the Arm-
strong gun ; and, as we have now 120,000 volunteers, ani-
mated by an excellent spint, we are not altogether defence-
less. Whether these numbers represent the force we ought
to be able to show for an outlay of fifteen millions is
another question."

The whole of the troops who are under orders to
proceed to India during the present and following month
are to be supplied with cholera belts previously to embark-
ation.

(now oul owx coungroirmunr.)

PARIS, SUNDAY ErICKING.

The Moniteur, while confirming the news of the
armistice agreed to by Garibaldi and General
Lanza until noon on Sunday (this day), takes no
notice whatever of the statement about the capitu-
lation of the garrison which was telegraphed to you
yesterday. It inertly says that Garibaldi demanded
that the royal troops should evacuate their posi-
tions. There can, however, be no doubt that this
is not the latest news. An explanation offered for
the reticence of the Moniteur is that the French
government does not yet know by any " official"
despatch the result of the interview on board the
Hannibal. But it is impossible to suppose that
Brenier, who is on the alert, and has pester
facility for transmitting news than any pri-
vate individual can have, should be twelve
hours behind the telegraphic agencies. The go-
vernment roust have received abundance of
information, bat in consequence probably of the
Emperor being on the railroad between Lyons
and Paris when the news arrived the officials here
doubted in what form he would like the latest
intelligence to appear in the Monitenr, and there-
fore put off the announcement till to-morrow.
This evening's Pattie says that the news of the
" capitulation" is confirmed, and that the Neapoli-
tan army will evacuate Palermo to-morrow (Mon-
day) morning. The Pays publishes the following
note :

The despatches from' Sicily, received to-day, inform as
that the situation of the belligerent parties has undergone
no change since the latest accounts which we published
yesterday. The armistice was to expire at noon this
day. The question dimmed at Palermo was whether
the royal army was to withdraw with or without
its arms ►nd baggage. As to the fact that Palermo
was to be evacuated, nobody had any doubt about it, It
emcees also to be certain that hostilities will not be re-
newed.

From this embrangled paragraph and the costive
disclosure of the 3foniteur, it may be inferred that
negotiations are going on about the terms of the
evacuation, and that the fact of the garrison being
allowed to go away with " all the honours of war,"
is up to the present time doubtful.

Since writing the above, I hear on good autho-
rity that the question in debate is whether the
defeated Neapolitan army is to surrender at
discretion, or to embark for Naples. My
surmise of yesterday that Garibaldi would never
allow them to go to Messina will certainly be con-
firmed.

The Opinion Nationa/e learns from Turin that, as
soon as he is undisputed master of Palermo, Gari-
baldi will carry on the war against the Bourbon on
the mainland, without wasting time about Messina,
which must fall of itself so soon as the Neapolitan
power is cut up by the roots.
The Pattie lasts' that General Lanes sent an
elaborate report to Naples on May 22, in which he
said that conciliatory measures had no longer the
least chance of success, and for this reason—that
all the most influential people in the island were on
the side of the leaders of the movement ; he added
that after the fall of Palermo the island would not
be defensible, because the insurrection would be-
come universal, and the army would have no re-
source but to concentrate themselves upon the only
remaining strategical point, namely, Messina. That
point he was prepared to defend to slie last extre-
mity, and he reckoned upon the tried fidelity of
his army ; but he earnestly entreated the court of
Naples to view the state of affairs in its true light.
The Courtier de Paris warmly repudiates the sug-
gestion of the Titan that any intervention should
be had recourse to either to thrust upon the Sici-
lians the Count of Syracuse or any other sovereign
not of their own choice. This French journal is at
a loss to discover any principle or any interest which
should induce a great France to see otherwise than
with satisfaction a great Italy grow up by her side.
The Pattie states that a despatch has arrived to-
day asserting that a capitulation had been signed
on board the Hannibal between General Limas and
Garibaldi and the revolutionary committee. Ac-
eording to the despatch the capitulation stipulates
that the Neapolitan army, 25,000 strong, should
quit Palermo with all the honours of war, and em-
bark with their matiriel on board the Neapolitan
squadron.
When Garibaldi arrived at the Strada di Toledo
he shammed a retreat, but resumed the offensive
when the inhabitants revolted. A terrible and des-
perate fight then ensued, in which many women
participated. The troops were at last repulsed, and
immediately afterwards the bombardment com-
menced.

It is asserted that the English admiral having
assembled the officers of all the foreign vessels of
war (including those of Austria) off Palermo, they
unanimously resolved to request the commander of
the Neapolitan squadron to cease firing on the
town.

It is asserted that Sivor Carafa, in reply to
complaints of Mr. Elliot, has declared that he had
no intention of accusing the English navy of having
assisted at the disembarkation of Garibaldi at
Marsala ; he only wished to justify the conduct of
the Neapolitan naval officers.
The Pays and the Constitsitionne/ say that the
triumph of the insurrection at Palermo is decisive,
and that there is no doubt of the capitulation of
the garrison.
The only question for consideration is, whether
the troops surrender at discretion, or obtain per-
mission to return to Naples.
It is asserted that Signor Carafe has demanded
a guarantee for the territory of the Two Sicilies,
and has also demanded the intervention of the
Maritime Powers.

Piedmont, it is said, has protested against any
intervention.
