THE DAY'S NEWS.

The news this morning is of a very meagre
eescription- Of domestic, ice d, and foreign there
ij nothing calling fur very particular attention.
FrrAn our police news of yesterday it will be seen
tlmt a gang of begging letter impostors have been
b-.A.en in upon, and if they are not at present
dispersed, from all We call learn, that respectable
body, the detectives, will annihilate them, and ren-
der further operating of the character in which they
are adepts futile in the extreme—at least so far as
Liverpool and the district are concerned.
A fearrul explosion, attended w:th loss of life,
o'currecl. at Wolverhampton yesterday afternoon.
The premises of Mr. Mason, an iron maker, were
blown up, and three men and one child have met
with an untirflely end, and seven men dangerously
injured.
In our paper of to-day will be found the report
of a meeting held at Manchester, for the purpose
of forming an " Association for the supply of Cot-
ton " The supply of cotton question has been so
fully discussed during recent years, that only one
opinion can be held respecting it. All who are
directly engaged in the trades which depend upon
the raw material are profoundly convinced of the
impolicy of remaining any longer inert. Year
by year the supply of cotton is becoming less
commensurate with the rapidly growing demand..

While all countries are increasing their con-
sumption, the cultivation of cotton remains
a virtual monopoly in the bands of the planters
of the United States of America. The object of
the new association -is not to grow cotton, but to
remove existing obstacles to its cultivation Hence
no interference is contemplated with the ordinary
functions of commerce. Supply and demand will
be left to shape their own mutual relations ;
all that will be attempted is to remove impe-
diments. Before the repeal of the corn laws, it
was idle to talk of the effect of supply and demand
on the growth of corn. The removal of the duty
on foreign corn was equivalent to a premium on its
growth and importation ; but it did not interfere
with the statical laws of commerce. It merely
made room so as to allow those ' laws free scope
acid healthy action. But other laws may trammel
commerce besides those -which enforce protective
duties. The regulations adopted by the Indian
government, for example, in matters of internal
administration, may as effectually banish the capi-
talist from the soil of India as if a special interdict
were framed for that 'purpose. Here the chief
onslaught will be made The labours of Mr.
Bright's committee in 1918 supply us with facts
and conclusions all ready for use. We have only
to press upon the Government the necessity for
adopting the recommendations of that committee
the question cannot be suffered to lie dormant.
''''- must ere longengage the attention of the legis-
_Nov.
°l4e.are glad to learn that the Colonial office have
abandoned the Newfoudland fisheries treaty—
whether this resolution has been taken in conse-
quence of its rejection at St. John's, or from the
representations of its injurious effects made at
home, it is not,perhaps, for us to say. The fact is so,
and we congratulate all those interested in this
important branch of colonial industry upon Mr
Labouchere's determination. A Ministerial print
of last night, says it is in consequence of the
opposition of the colonists that the treaty will not
be ratified,
As far as the political matter-of-facts of the day
go, we may notice that a public banquet was given
to Lord Harry Vane and Mr. Pease, the members
for South Durham, on Monday night. The north
of England was well represented by leading mem-
bers of Parliament, and the proceedings were of
an interesting character. Mr. Townsend; the new
member for Greenwich, met a large body of his
constituents last night. He strongly advocated
Radical Reform measures. Taken altogether, the
political atmosphere remains calm, almost undis
turbed. What the people are waiting for is, that
the leading Reformers should declare their pro-
gramme ; and it can scarcely be doubted that
something of this kind will be done.
In London the working men still continue to
agitate the free emigration question.
Thcmas Nation suffered the extreme penalty of
the law in front of the county gaol at Taunton on
Tuesday, having been convicted of what is known
as the Wiveliscombe murder. Although he made
no confession,- the sacrament was administered to
him.

Lord Althorp, it is said, will move the address
on the Queen's Speech on the assembling of the
l new Parliament in the House of Commons, and by
Viscount Eversley (the late Speaker) in the House
of Lords.
At a fire in London yesterday, the Lambeth
Imperial Potteries were damaged to the extent of
£6,000 value.
In the Consistory Court yesterday Dr. Dishing.
ton delivered the sentence in the divorce case of
Campbell v. Campbell. The parties were origi.
dally resident in Australia, but in 1856 Mrs.
Campbell came to England with her six children.
On the voyage she appears to have become inti-
, mate with Mr. Christopher Garstin, the alleged
paramour ; and this gentleman took lodgings in
several houses in which, after her arrival in London
she occupied apartments. There were various.
averments of adultery,which were met by the pleas,
first, of innocence ; secondly, of condonation. Dr.
Lushing'on was of the opinion that Mrs. Camp-
bell's guilt was undeniable, and accordingly pro
flounced for the separation.
There is no change for the better in the health
of the Duchess of Gloucester.
The meeting of the European and American
- Steamship Company was held yesterday. From
the proceedings it appears, that the eight ships
in their possession had not cost them more than
£2O per ton, whereas they had cost the company
to which they originally belonged £36. Founded
upon such a cheap basis, the enterprise had the
best prospect of success. A contract had been
entered into with Messrs. Croskey and Company
to work the Company's ships. The lines in
operation would be Hamburg to Brazil, Antwerp
to Brazil, and Bremen to New York, via South-
ampton.
From the Continent this morning we learn that
exposures are likely-to take place of serious and
general delinquencies in the management of some
of the French joint stock companies. The Customs
revenue in France for the month of March shows
an increase of 10 per cent., as compared with the
same month last year. The articles which show
the greatestfalling off are iron and steel, raw cotton,
indigo, coal, and rough castings. The correspond-
ent of the Times at Naples notices the denial given by
the Neapolitan Government, to the accusation
that torture was resorted to in the prisons, but is
compelled, on the strongest moral evidence, to
repeat that torture is practised. The evidence is
withheld, from fear of the consequences to indivi-
duals. The torture applied- does not,• however,
consist in the brutalities practised in the middle
ages. The writer speaks of some efforts which
have recently been made with success to improve
the State prisons.

A pamphlet has been wi lely circulated at
Naples, entitled—" The Praises of the King of
Naples in the English P.*rliament." It consists of
extracts from speeches by Lord Derby, Lord John
Russell, and- Messrs. Gladstone, Disraeli, and
Milner Gibson.
Correspondence from Turin states that a great
improvement has been introduced into Piedmont,
in machinery for winding and spinning silk direct
from the cocoons, according to an invention of Mr.
Dickens of Middleton, the machinery for which has
been manufactured by Gordon and Co , of Stock-
port. A building has already been erected which
will contain 12,000 spindles, and the result is
expected to be a complete revolution in silk manu-
facluie.

The Neufchatel negociations have arrived at
this point,—that. the Prussian and Swiss Plenino
tentiaties have accepted the propositions of the
mediating powers ad referendum, for the approval
of their respected Governments. A considerable
time must elapse before the opinion of the Swiss
' authorities can be pronounced, as it is necessary
to consult the legislature in that free country, and
for that purpose the Swiss Plenipotentiary left Paris
on Tuesday night for Berne, after having had an
interview with the Emperor.
In die Prussian Landiag the proposal to abolish
police interference with the press has been re
tooted ; but a different proposition, to substitute
legal for police censorship, has been carried by one
vote against Government. The circulation of
foreign (German) bank notes is proposed to be
prohibited in Prussia. ei
The reforms proposed by the Austrian Home
Nlinister, Bach, have been found too liberal by
the Council of State, and his retirement is spoken
of. 'The Emperor's opinion, is yet, however, to be
known.

A fire broke ont in the printing ink manufactory
of the Messrs Gi!ton, Leeds street, yesterday, by
which some .2.000. damage was sustained. A full
account will be found in another column ; as also
respecting the funeral of Dr Bickersteth, which
took place yesterday forenoon

BY some lately published statistics, it appears
that the population of France is decreasing.
l-nstead of that regular and wholesome increase
that, we might expect in so grand a country so
admirably situated, with so fine a climate, and a
people so ingenious and elastic, we are filled with
ominous anticipations when we look and find the
