EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

MOM ova ovra4 COILLUPORITINT4
PARIS, TIIISDLY ETILIIIO.

The news that all six of tl;eplsaipoteatiaries at
Zurich met together yesterday, an event which had
not occurred since the opening meeting of the Con-
ference, is regarded el conelpsive esidence that s
treaty of peace is about to be signed. It is supposed,
and in some quarters confidently smarted, that the
draft of the treaty was read over at yesterday's
sitting. There can be no doubt, however, that all
the points which constitute the reel difficulty of the
Italian qnestioo,namedy, the question of the restora-
tion of the Dukes and the settlement of the Lega-
tions, will be unaffected by the diplomatists of
Zurich, in whose labours the public, on very good
grounds, has long ceased to take any serious in-
terest.

The Pay., which has hitherto been rems-kably
silent about the proceed;np at Zurich, says to-
night:—" If we are rightly informed the return of
a messenger sent to Vienna by Count Colloredo is
alone waited for before signing the treaty. It stoll
&ppmrs to be probable that the question of Central
Italy willies submitted to a European congress, to
which the majority of the great powers have, es we
are assured, consented." Is this congress to be
held without England? It is quite certain that
England is not one of the great powers that have
' consented to join in a congrcrs to confirm the pre-
liminaries of Villa:ranee.

The news of Lord Cowley's deperto-s for &alit:
was only known in Paris today by a telegrrm in
the Nord of St owels, which says that he he s gone
to confer with Count Walewaki on the affairs of

The Pattie, wbge throwing a doubt upon the
authenticity of the news that the Sardinian ambas-
sador has been sent away from Rome, on the ground
that it has not been confirmed, observes that even if
the fact be true it does not change the diplomatic
situation between the two countries, inasmuch eel
the Pope's Nuncio wee recalled f-om Turin when
the law affecting the property of convent, was
passed, and it was only oat of the peculiar deference
doe to the Holy See that M. de la Minot as has
bees permitted to remain all title while at Rome.
The Bonnie has nearly recovered from the fell of
yesterday. The meeting of the six plen,potentieties
at Zurich was regarded as a favourable symptom,
and the fact of the Pope having sent passports to the
Sardinisn ambeaeador (assuming it to be true) not
having been followed by ray particrlarly elcming
intelligence from ruy quarter, is looked up re kw
important then it was considered to be yesterday.

A special mating of the Cotton Supply Association

Nsealeater Tewa-hall, to reefer with the Right Hon. James
Wilson gewrione to hie departure for India. There me
premeit—Mr. J.Cazerwaw, the chairmen of the emaciation,
who presided; Mr. Easley, M.P., Mr. H. nehwortb, Mr. E.
Potter, Mr I. Armitage, the Mayor of Manchester, Mr. J. A•
Throw, M.P., and other gentlemen at ladusam.

Mr. Z. AIIIWOILTH mooed the ere resolutkn, which was
asteadad by Mr. M. Roes Yid supported by Mr. BAILBT
M.P. It wee as fo:lows .—" That the meatball; et at

-Both resolutions were carried nnsalmoully.
The Eight Hon. Janes Wiusorr was received with loud
sheering. H. said—Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I have
come to-day, at the invitation of my hon. friend Mr. Easley,
your worthy member, to 'Filet Manchester, and I have bran
very happy at the opportunity of conferring with so impede
leant a body se this emaciation, end of hearing their views
,• apes so important • topic as the one with which they ere
conneeted. When first 1 Leh it to be me' duty to accept this
I onerous position in India, finding that I had only toms two
scathe to remain in Stashed, I certainly made up my mind
to under ea much as possible during that brief period with
these who are interested in the: trade and commerce of that
country. (Hear, bear.) I did so became I felt that at the
bottom of the demerit] prosperity of a country must mows
eerily rem the condition of the great body of its people ; and
that if this be true with regard to any country, It
Is peculiarly true, sod especially at the present moment,
with regard to India; bemuse it must be went
to the whole world that the immediate COW
of om financial &street in India ham been produced by the'
mutiny, Oar ordinary revenaes are larger than ever they
were. The trade of the country, notwithstanding the inter-
ruption that it msy be supposed to hove tee tree from the
mutiny, is greater than ever it was at say former period, I
need not tell yon, who so well know the expanded character
of that trade during the last four or five years, both In Its
imports and exports, that each is the case. Therefore if we
be in financial difficulties in India, It le quite clear that It is
to no inherent defects, either in the productive:tem of the
country or in Its aptitude for commercial intercourse, that we
are to attribute that derangement. It is equelly obvious that
to the mutiny, and to the mutiny rime, which has led to this
enormous military expenditure—an txpendite-e that has far
more than doubled, bating risen from II millions to 24
willien in three or four years—must be attributed the finan-
cial difficultiesof Indiaat the present moment. Thesediffi shies
therefore me really greet political questions. In them are
involved the condition of the people and the pesos of the
country, and upon these two depend the probability or peed-
Wiry of redwing very sartorially the military expendiare of
the country. That being ea, I for one recognise that the
great end important tam that the etememen has in India is
to do ewers ttrog In hie power to develop the resource. of the
country, end by that means to improve the material sad
novel condition of the people. (Hear, hear.) Well, gentle-
men, having come to that resolution es to the mode in which
1 ehould speed the few socks left for one in England, I may
say it is pecv'iarly gratifying to rue to meet in this loom so
many of those gentlemen with whom I have been immolated
in years past, in endeavouring to, sad at last succeeding in,
carrying out those great commercial principles of which
Manchester may be so proud, (Chum.) There may, how-
ever, he some queetioue with regard to India in which
differences of opinion may well be held. I am free to con-
fess that there are euth quitrent, yet I ant bold to hope that
there is but one motive pervading your objects and your
efforts, as well as those of the government. NVith regard to
public worke, it is nut questioned by any one either con-
nected with the government or with the commerce of India
that after ell the great want of that country le public works,
both for the purpose of transport and for the purpose of irri-
gation. That it, I believe, • feet which no one will deny.

is utterly impostrible in the present or any probable future

not reed the evidence which Sir John fwwream gave on the
last day on which that committee met could not possibly
occupy • portion of their time better than by reading the
very valuable evidence which that distinguished men, with
all his experience, gave upon theme subject.. I think they
will come to the condemn to which be came, and to which
the committee cams—a committee compuied of the most dis-
tinguished end enlightened men of the House of Commons
about these subjecta—the conclusion that really the profitable
way by which Indian commerce can be developed, wall be by
the soperatendenee of Europeans, by the use of Barman
capital, by the advice of European., bat not by the attempt
of Europeans themselves to cultivate the land. I believe
that you have great facilities for that plan of operation
which you never could have for any other projected plan.

tion, are, I think, creditable to those who instituted that move-
ment, and I truat that the benefice and advantages which it
Is likely to corer will be long felt by the neighbourhood ia

that the supply of this most important raw material is ant

port obtained by this association. I can only say, in con-

yards from the chore, to water fully twenty feet deep. It Is
