of the efforts which had been made during the past
year on behalf of the distressed districts was hardly
known, and said that, including a sum of £150,000
employed in the Firchase of food and clothing, the
total amount subscribed last year was no less than
L 1,900,000. This large sum, it must be remem-
bered, is entirely exclusive of the efforts of private
charity, whose extended and unostentatious bene-
volence will never be fully known. There still re-

allowing things to remain unchanged. A very ab:e
and moderate letter of Sir J. KAY SHUTTLEWORTH,
recently published, expresses simply and clearly the
grounds that the executive committee have for an-
ticipating a favourable conclusion to the present
difficulties, while they prepare at the same time for
a sharp struggle next winter. The inclement
season will drive home those operatives who have
been finding casual outdoor work in other districts,
while the numerous branches of employment opened
by the genial harvest season will of course be closed.
Yet the future of Lancashire is hopeful notwith-
standing. As Sir J. KAY SHUTTLEWORTH reminds
the public, the supply of cotton, if America does
not furnish it, will ultimately come from other
parts of the globe. The uncertainty of the war has
been a great drawback to change or improvement ;
but it will not block the way for ever, and however
severe the temporary pressure may be, we cannot
doubt that not only will our Lancashire cotton
trade revive with all its old spirit, but that it will,
as Sir J. K. SHUTTLEWORTH observes, be re-esta-
blished on a firmer basis than ever, because it will
no longer be suffered to depend exclusively on one
source of supply. India, Africa, Queensland,
Jamaica, will be our safeguards against another
such emergency, if our manufacturers have learned
anything from the lessons of the past. We cannot
hope for any very great improvement in the state of
employment, says Mr. FARNALL, before this time
next year, and the necessity and utility of a bill
like that of Mr. VILLIERS' is manifest. It is most
gratifying to learn that no less than 47 local com-
mittees have been able to suspend their operations
for the present, both as the evident proof of the
diminished distress and the consequent saving of
the means in hand for the coming autumnal season.

VIENNA, JULY 8.

•
The Vienna papers of to-day publish a telegram

EGYPT.

The Nord states that the correspondence between
the French Government and that of Turkcr relative
to the Suez Canal is still actively carried on. It is
believed that only one of the several conditions laid
down in the circular of the Turkish Government is
now maintained. Ismael Pasha demands that the
clause conceding the lands bordering the fresh-
water canal to the company shall be annulled.
The Nord asserts that the French Government
will not annul any of the existing conditions.
