LORD GODERICH ON TICE COTTON SUPPLY.

At Leeds, on Saturday, the Rev. Dr. Livingston
delivered an address on Africa, after which Lord Gode-
rich delivered a speech, in the course of which he said :
When we consider the vast industry in the neighbouring
county (Lancashire) :which is altogether dependent on
the regular ani extensive supply of cotton, can we doubt
that Dr. Liviugston's discoveries are of the greatest
political interest to the country ? We ought to have
the means of drawing our supplies of cotton from various
sources ; we should be as nearly independent of local
circumstances as possible, for these circumstances mlght
at any day affect both the extent and the source of the
supply. (Hear, hear.) Ido not contemplate the produc-
t've powers of this valley of the Zambesilin a selfish
point of view alone. Doubtlers they are commercially
attractive to us, and politically advan'ag?ous also; but if
we wish to bring the enterprise to a successful issue,
we should enter upon it in the glorious spirit of
which the doctor has afforded us such an illustrious
examp'e• (Applause.) It is important to open out new
markets—to encourage the cotton trade -in the Valley of
the Z imbesi—but is a higher and n abler mission for
England to carry -Christianity and civilisation, as the
companions of c ommerce, into that country upon which
we have inflicted so many wrongs. I shalt have the
greatest possible pleasure in co-operating with the West
Riding Chamber of Commerce in bringing their views
before her Majesty's Government, and assisting, in so far
as I am able, to persuade the Portuguese Government to
open up the navigation of the Z imbesi. A resolution has
been put into my hands to move which calls upon this
meeting to agree in expressing to her Majesty's Govern.
ment the importance of taking another step. This step
is to call upon her Majesty's Government to send a
steamer, properly manned, up the river Zambesi. (Hear.)
We do not want any more dominion—we have sufficient
as it is; but we have a single object in view—an object
equally valuable to our country and the world—and the
object is, to extend the large benefits of civilisation and
commerce to that fertile district.

STATE limenmeenox.—The Lord Mayor of London went
in state to the evening service at St. Paul's, on the day or
humiliation. When men humble themselves is scarlet
robes, instral of sackcloth and ashes, we may presume
that they modify themselves subsequently wi-h turtle and
venison. Feasting is as like fasting as a civic precession
to a pious pilgrimage. These things may not be hypocri-
sies, but they have exceedingly the air of it.
The eevil did grin,
For his darling sin
Is the pride which apes humility,
But, in truth, the virtue can hardly be said to have been
aped on this occasion. The homage of a well ac:e.l hypo-
crisy was not paid to it.—Examiner.
THE REF IBM BILL IMPENDING.—Suppcs7ng that the
" New Reform Bill" is to be !aid aside in 18;58, what is
Parliament to do in the next session ? The House of
Commons, while the military campaign is going on cannot
turn itself into a debating club for the discussion ofschemes
for an amended government in India. Neither eon members
occupy themselves with erqieiqing the strategic move-
ments of the generals in the field. Will voting supplies
for the war fulfil the duties of the House of Commons?
Nei her the Home Secretary, nor the Foreign Seen etary,
nor the Colonial Secretary, nor the Lord Ch
nor the President of the Council, nor the President of the
BOard of Trade, nor the Postruaster General, nor the Chan-
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, are directly cone 'med in
the alministration of the war. The Premier holds no par-
ticular office to absorb his attention, The Commander-ie-
Chief of the army and the authorities at the Horse Guards
have nothing whatever to do with a "New Reform Bill ;"
and can ie be contended that the fact of Lord Panmure being
entir,ly, and Sir Cl,arles Wood being partly, engaged in
duties relating to the camp 'ign, are enough to prevent the
Cabinet from realising its promise of a New Reform Bill
far 1858 ?

Tan CALCUTTA DESPOTISI2.—It seems to be Lord
Cunning's doom to be a week, or a month, or three months
behind-hand. What did he know of India that he would
dare to write home after mutinies hal taker' place, and
assure the cabinet that all causes for alarm had subsided ?
The fist blow was struck in January; had he acted with
sense or energy he might have had twenty thousand re-
inforcesnents with him before July. Bit he expressed
his confidence in himself and his S pots; and the imperial
government slept, while, during the months of February,
March, Aril, May, and June the rebellion gathered
force, and Parliament listened to satisfactory explanations
from Mr. Vernon Smith. Teen we learned that the spectre
of a Mogul had appeared at Delhi, and that Loid Can-
corfileece meant anarchy and massacre. Here
arose a double responsibility—that of the local and that
of the supreme authorities. How did Lord Canning act ?
Every one knew. by this time. He took few or no pre-
cautions. At the very localities pirated out to him as cen-
tres of anxiety, he allowed conspiracy to ripen into actual
revolt, and no on • has yet ventures to calculate at what
n sacrifice of human life—to say nothing of power ender'.
gered, or property destroyed —the Governor-General nursed
himself in blindness and apathy. If the actual cost be in-
calculab'e. what of the interests he hazarded ?—Leader.
OBTAINING MIN .Y ITNDICE. FALSE FREI-REM —At the
Guildhall, on Saturday, Witham Charles Vaudin, an elderly
men with a dark complexion and Jewish cast of counte-
nance, was charged with obtaining money under false pre-
tences. Dr. Robert Martin, one of the physicians of St.
Bartholornevv'e Hospital, said the prisoner called upou
him that morning and repeated an application that he
h: d previously made, to the fallowiag effect :—He re-
presented that he was an old pupil of the hospital, that
his name was Vaudin, and he had been practising as a
surgeon in Jersey, where he had met with losses that
had reduced him to great distress, and rendered him
anxious to proceel with his family to Canada. He said
he was known to several of witeess's colleagues in the
hospital. Witness asked him to leave his ad.lrese whin
he first came, and he then made inquiries, and found
out that he was not Mr. Vaudin, of Jersey, and that
that gentleman had been prosperous at Jersey, and was
still residing there. Dr. Clement Hugh, a physician at
the same hospital, said he knew 31-. Vaudin, of Jersey,
perfectly wall, and the prisoner was not that gentleman.
The prisoner had some time back applied to him for
relie, for the purpose cf emigrating to Canada, and he
had given bias lOa to get rid of him. Mr. Cl arks
Godfrey oaid he resided at Jersey, and was well acquain-
ted with Mr. • Vaudin, vele was now living at Jersey.
The prisoner said his name was Vaudin, and he Lad
come from Jersey. Alderman Copeland said it was quite
clear that the p isoner was not the person be bad re-
presented himself to be, and he had practised an inposi-
den upon these gentlemen. He abould, therefore, give
him the severest punishment in his power, and should
sentence him to three menthe' imprisonment, with hard
!Amer. The prisoner had made a similar applicatiun to
D. Williams.
