MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.

MANCRESTBR, Fis.ll.

Ow Chamber of Commons had its annual meeting
to-day, but u its pneeediew on Mese occasions an rather
of a retrospective than a proneetive nature, there was not
mach I. them that will be interning to the emend nadir.
Taman BAZLIT' Beg , the president, is opening the
proosedinsa, alluded with satisfaction to the renal of the
ears sled tentative laws, sad to other alteration of the
tariff AWN, the missies: and drew attemisa to the glan-
des of a hatter supply of cotton, u one of the scat import
est sabloete odd left to the attention of the chamber. He
said . .

..*;As stewards of the trust which bad been wadded to their
con, the dincton for the pest veer had great pleasure in
Fwing • report of their labours. Keay Important sub-
had espied the attention of the directory, but no sub-
set more Important lad occupied the deliberations
of the board than the source whence the raw
material, upon whisk the industry of this district depends,
should be obtained. • short time ago they held a general
meeting of the chamber, on the question relative to the affairs
of India, and the obtaislag of • large supply of cotton from
that whew. fines that time the directors had received •
great author of ocgangtoisatioes relative to the power epos-
snood by various of ow coloairs to supply this country
with cotton, in immerse quantities. It did appear that the
great obstacle to a good supply of cotton from our colonies
arose from the fast that their MOUTON were not wisely or
well developed by the imperial g Tenement at home, or the
keel is there. When the time arrived that the
8010 could with unshackled freedom exercise their in-
d sad skill, he believed we should obtain a sage sad
abaadaatsu of raw cotton, as well as other important
produces. Connected with the state of business geaerally,
they would permit him to reiterate the satisteedon of the
direeton 'lshii chamber in reference to the working of
these great principles which the late sad preens% goveynment
had dose co much to establish. The policy of Sir Robert Peel
continued icy Lord John Raman had being kidlike advan-
tage to the hboving ciente of the northers mainneturing
diarists, and, he believed, to ell the people of the United
Kingdom. (Bear.) But unites we Wall be supplied with
oar raw 'asterisk at "heap rates and in abundant quantities,
he leered that the prosperity which seemed to be dawning
open us would be very much overshadowed. We had yet to
"hula some concession from government in the way of re-
lazing a few of the remaining restrictions that
impressed the industry of tie country, though only
in • slight degree. The examples that were
Method on the statute-book, of mere needed protection,
were laid hold of by some foliage governments, moth to
oar national injury. It was said that the woollen saanafee-
tare was still protected, and some branches of the mottos
mitaufeetures were will protected, and a slight degree of
protection remained to the unfortunate neediewomen of
Landes ; made-up gannets could not be imported without
a duty; but even they etd not appear to be in a better pest
don ter the protection yet summed to these. Boone ma-
ssage of protection will remained la the eolonin oa coffee
and sugar, but although they might be mitigate for some
little time longer, the dam would wan when all distinctions
sad restrictions monk, obliterated. These remnants would
occupy the aelleaties M the bond, he trusted, during the
year, sad stomps would be made to place our foreign trade
on sa motheskiell beds. (Applause.)
The report el the directors was of great length, and •
very able dedamisat. Oa the question of a more extensive
cultivation of eettea la the coluoiss, thus were the follow-
ing remarks:
