THE ARMY.

Three large detachments of Irish remits 'strived in town yes-
terday morning, from Bristol, on rouse to ;toin their respective corps
and depots.
A detachment belonging to the Roth Regiment of Infantry em-
barked on Tuesday evening, on board a canal boat, at Padding.
ton, for Liverpool, on route to join the depot of. th.tt corps at the
Isle of clan.

The following are statements derived from eminent
brokers in Liverpool, as to the consumption of cotton in
this country, and the amount of the exports thereof from
it, for the last ten Years;—
Consumed. Exported. Consumed. Exported.
1816 337,400 bags 29.7.00 bags 1821 499,100 ba:s 82.800 bags
1817 407.000 26,700 l 1622 541,800 89,300
1818 422,700 58,800 1143 560.115) 33,400
11119 434.300 66,800 1824 604,8410- 53.4810
1020 480,900 28,400 1623 599,600 72,9151
The statements of consumption, of course, can be regarded as no-
thing more than an approximation to the truth. It is probable,
however, that they may fairly be taken to show pretty accuriaely
the relative increase therein, from year to year.
The statements of the exports, however. a, e exact, and they fully
prove that their extent in 1318.19 and 1821-22 was quite large
enough to oversee the inferences which 7/re Times has deduced
from a more limited range of facts; inasmuch as the increase, in the
exports since that time, is by no means equal to the increase which l
dssis simultaneously takin *late in the consumptiOn of the article in
this country.
That consumption will no doubt be found to have been decidedly
less et the close of this year, than during any of the tiro or three
antecedent ones; but surely it is not front so narrow a ground as
this that we should be ;ustifled in apprehending a permanent di.
minution in the cotton manufacture, particularly when we find the
trade in a steady progress towards renewed activity.
The following statement, as to the consumption of cotton is
France, is derived from a highly-tespectable source, and will not be
without interest. The deliveries from Havre for the supply of the
internal demand were in the year

Thus it will appear, that whilst the cotton manufacture of France
is, taken on an average of years, -increasing rapidly, there have
been particular years, and that very recently, when it has sustained
checks, in all probability quite as severe as that of which the ma-
nufacture in this country is atilt feeling the effects.
As to the increase of the cotton manufacture in the United States,
there is ins doubt that in low goods it has been rapid. On the im-
portation of these from this country, the high duties and arbitrary
valuations Of the American tariff operate as t. complete exclusion.
But the States will tike from us all the goods that we allow them
to do, that is to say, they import as much as in their produce, or
rather in tii:t proportion, and those kinds of it, which will supply
our wants, and which we are willing to receive, they can otter an
equivalent for. Of this fart the general state of the exchanges
between the two countries for sonic years past offers a sufficient
proof.
We are told that the cotton manufacture is spreading rapidly in
America. No doubt, under the present policy of the Government, it is
and must be so. Of all goods of certain descriptions, anti below
a certain price, they have virtually a monopoly ; and. as the popu-
lation of the country increases rapidly, so must the quantity of
those descriptions of goods necessary to supply its wants increase
rapidly also. Indeed, some time ago, in low-priced and plain
fabrics, the manufactures of the United States were is some markets
brought into immediate dealt,. with the manufactures or this
!country. We are inclined to think, however, that the late and pre-
sent very low prices of our cotton goods will have done much to-
wards deferring the period when we shall have any serous reason
to dread the competition with them of these of the United Statet,
in markets where both stand on an equal footing.
But the boasted increase of American manufactures—the increase
at least on which the Times dwells—what is it? Why, that in
New llampshire, in sixteen years, the quantity of cloth annually
manufactured has increased from thur or live to thirty millians of
yards—that is, to an amount scarcely, if at all, surpassing the sales
of some individual houses in this town. The Times says, " the
spread of this system in Now England is, and must be, at the
expense of Old England." We have a st;flichMt answer to this
dogmatical assertion in the fact that, within the very time above
specified, the cotton manufacture in this country has more than
doubled.

With respect to the increste in the report of twist. we
various TCSMein stsiVlect fox ivattolatu.twobsitlettart the

of Itse-;slflff;'a.faPpreteiTcciiiienrent inarkets. "there is, it
is generally atisetsted, a noel increteirgoing on in the quantity of
cotton consumed throughote, the world ; and some countries posses?.
the means of weaving cloth for their own use, which contain fewer no
spinning extabtishments. As the useof cotton goods increase in these,
so must their import of cotton yarns from those quarters whence they
can be best supplied. In this situation is Russia, to which country
the shipments of yarns this year have been, we believe, unpreetatent-
edly large. In some parts of the Continent we have been informed that
From the very low prices of Cotton twist latterly current here, the
spinning establishments of the districts have been unable to main-
' tiln a competition with us, and have ceased working ; and that we
hare consequently had to answer the demand formerly supplied by
them. The large exports of cotton this year, we are quite aware,
seem at variance with this view of the matter ; but, nevertheless,
we are decidedly inclined to think that, to a certain extent, the fact
is as it has been represented to us.
Another way in which the late extent of the shipments of cotton
twist has been ta part accounted for is by the quantity which, when
the market was an dull as to make the article almost unsaleable
in this country, was sent abroad on consignment. This is the
least satisfactory explanation of the heavy exportations of the pre.
sent year that we have heard ; but we apprehend there is reuc'a
truth in it. _ . _

We would not have it supposed, from what we have here or here. I
tofore said, that we mean to deny that there are markets to which '
our cotton manufactures were formerly largely sent, but in which
the demand for them is now greatly reduced. We fully admit the
fact ; and if one cause more than another has led to this result, it
is the operation of our present corn laws. We have compelled
other nations to reduce their purchases of our goods, by resolutely
refusing to take their produce in paymcnt for them. But the dimi.
nution which would otherwise have taken place, from this cause, in
our manufactures, has hitherto been more than compensated by the
opening of new markets ; and it will, we have no doubt, for a long
time to come, continue to be so. Neither the steadiness nor tke per-
' manentie of the demand farm. manufactures, however, can be sa.
tisfactorily secured whilst we refuse to take from those, who would
otherwise be amongst our best customers, almost the only ankle
they can offer to us in exchange. It is for this reason, and because
of the great addition which they make to the cost of food in this
country, that Pe advocate the repeal of the corn laws ; but we can.
not, as the Times seems to recommend, acquiesce in a statement of
I the prospects of the cotton manufacture, which we believe to be et.
roseate, from an appreheusion that by not doing, so the difficulty
I of obtaining a modification of the torn laws will be aggravated.

CA NTERPICHY, OCT. 17.-A disgraceful riot took place
on Saturday last, about six o'clock in the evening, occasioned by
at least 300 soldiers of the depot, congregating in Jack and Joan's
Fair, and insulting almost every person whose curiosity had led
them to the spot. Several countrymen were very severely beaten
with sticks, and then surrounded and cruelly treated. In this way
the riot was carried on, until the whole body of men moved to the
H igh-otreet, where the first person attacked was a most respectable
individual, whore hat was !knocked off and kicked about. The
scene now became so alarming, that the tradesmen immediately
closed their shops, but not before the windows of 31r. Tpalas
morger, were demolished, and himself knocked dbA. " A row !
a raw !" was now vociferated from a hundred settees, and the crowd
moved towards Butehery-lane, knocking down every one within
their range. AIL Si'. Fletcher received a blow across the face,
from a suck. Mr. lioldstock also received another injury. In
Burgate, a countryman, who had kept his eye upon a moldier, who
had struck him, observing him detadted from his comrades, seized
him by the throat, and, but for the Inlet ference of a person, would
have taken him into titstody ; perhaps, however, this interference
was fortunate, for the hard fist of John made such an impression
upon thefellow, that in all probability he would not have escaped
from his gralp until deprived of breath. From Burpte, the not.
era sallied Into Sun-street, closely followed by the constables, who
Motored Ohe of tiwen, and ultimately dye others. It is but justice
to say, that genial non-eommissioned officers, observing toe infa-
mous conduct of the men, used every persuasion to induce a return
to the barracks, without avail ; when a corporal immediately pro-
seeded thither,• and procuring the assistance of the piquet, order
*as at length restored, and the whole marched off. During the
progress of the row, several soldiers of the 13th Hussars exerted
