This Institution is designed to supply a great national
want, viz., an asylum for the orphan daughters of sailors in
the Royal Navy and Merchants Service and of Marines.
It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic
service, and provides a home free of expense for former
inmates while oat of situations, thus shielding them from the
temptations they might otherwise be exposed to.
The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU-
TIONS to meet the increasing applications through the
recent storms and loss :4 life at sea, and to enable them
eventually to obtain premises more commensurate with the
necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000
sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those
who may perish by war.
Subscriptions thankfully received by the bankers, Messrs.
Barclay, Bevan, and Co., Lombard-street, and by the Secre-
tary, at the/Oftioeo, No. 77, Cornhill.

Manchester Chamber of Commerce.

A quarterly meeting of the Chamber took place
yesterday, but it was very thinly attended.

The PRESIDENT (Mr. M. Ross) said that, judg-
ing from their experience so far, it did not appear
likely that these quarterly meetings were likely to
prove very attractive or interesting either to the
public or the members. The business transacted
by the Board since the last meeting had been
comparatively uninteresting, partly owing to
the intervention of a dissolution of Parliament. A
great number of interesting communications, how-
ever, had been received, which would afford suffi-
cient matter for inquiry. He enumerated among
them a number of foreign commercial treaties as
forming the subject of these communications, and
among the rest he read an interesting statement re-
specting the cotton trade of Russia. He said—ln
1822 a productive tariff of 60 to 100 per cent. on
cotton goods was adopted, and cotton prints were
prohibited. This tariff led to the establishment of
cotton mills, and in 1853 noblemen were embarking
in them. From this time the import of raw cotton
increased, and that of yarn diminished. In 1824-26,
in raw cotton there were imported 74,268 poods of
361 b. ; in 1853, 1,814,282 poods. Taking the same
years, the imports of yarn diminished. In 1824-26
the imports of cotton yarn were 337,101 poods ; in
1853, 83,548 poods. The duty upon
yarn was 10d.
per lb., or about 60 per cent. on Nos. 20 to 40 ;
present duty, 31 per cent. The mills are mostly
working day and night, and the average production
is 361 b. per spindle per annum. The individual
consumption of cotton goods of Russia, as compared
with Austria, is as 10 to 18 ; France 10 to 35; Zoll-
verein, 10 to 35 ; and England, 10 to 83. The
difference in price, as compared with other coun-
tries, will be 35 to 40 per cent., and, in some in-
stances, 60 per cent. or more. The number of
spindles in Russia is 1,750,000, representing a capi-
tal of £7,000,000. The dividends for 24 years have
averaged 11 per cent., and the original capital has
increased five and six fold. The cost of mills per
nominal horse-power is £9OO ; per spindle, £4 7s. ;
per loom, in addition, £37 10s. In England, he
says, the nominal horse-power is £5OO. For every
hand there is an outlay of £3OO in machinery spin-
ning 30's to 40's. The wages of 41,000 operatives is
6,150,000 roubles of 3s. each per annum, besides
the salaries of masters and clerks. The cost of coal,
oil, and stores is generally equal to wages. Coal,
255. per ton. Russia employs 14,000 power-looms
and 50,000 hand-looms. Field labour is only pos-
sible during 130 to 150 days in the year. The popu-
lation of Russia in Europe is 65,000,000, and of
these there are 52,000,000 who do not reside in
towns; there are 74,000,000 in all Russia. The
average wages in mills are 9s. 41d. per hand per
week. The loss on spinning in 1864 was equal to
10d. per lb. Before the American war they re-
ceived from Persia 50,000 poods of cotton ; now,.
750,000 pools. The cost of engines and boilers,

as regards inferior qualities the tendency of prices is in

PRESTON.

Since Captain Stanley, son of the Earl of Derby, till'
nounced his willingness to stand at the next election for
the borough of Preston in the Conservative interest, and ISfr•
G. Melly, of Liverpool, on the Liberal side, withdrew, it la
thought that nothing can prevent the return of two Con-
servatives. An effort is, however, being made, and there is
movement among the Liberal party to restore the balance of
political power. It is now considered probable that the
Liberals will bring out Mr. Gladstone, eldest son of tha
Chancellor of the Exchequer, as a candidate in their inte-
rest. Preliminary steps have, it is publicly announced, been
already taken for this purpose. But under the most favour-
able circumstances, the Liberals will have to fight with very'
considerable desperation if they mean to succeed at the
next election ; for Sir T. G. Hesketh, the present ConserYo-
tive member, has a good hold in the borough, and Captain,
Stanley has received the promises of nearly three fourths °I
the electors. The difficulty of the Liberals is to a great e 8"
tent caused by the Roman Catholics, who, as electors, ar°
very strong in Preston, and can turn an election any wag
they think proper if united, and they appear at present to
be strongly in favour of the Conservatives.

feited ordinary shares of the company upon such
terms as they may think fit.
Mr. BARBER then moved that 100 of the reserved
or unissued ordinary shares of the company be offered
to Lord Northwick, Sir E. Blount, Mr. Wheeler,
Mr. Davies, and Mr. Baugham, five of the directors,
in recognition of their services. Mr. Barber men-
tioned that the directors had up to this time received
no compensation for the trouble they had under-
taken, and that they had, in the discharge of their
duties as directors, attended 66 meetings.

Mr. CRANSTOUN seconded the resolution.
Colonel LOWE moved as an amendment that the
offer be postponed until the railway was in a more
flourishing condition.
Only two votes, however, were given for the
amendment, and the original resolution was carried.
London, England, 1865-05-15

CHATHAM.

Up to the present time no official announcement has been
made by Gen. Sir J. F. M. Smith of his intention to again
seek the suffrages of the electors of this borough, but from
the circumstance of the Conservative party having as yet
refrained from any active proceedings, coupled with the
general dissatisfaction expressed by the great body of the
electors at Gen. Sir F. Smith's recent conduct in Parlia-
ment, it is pretty generally believed that the gallant mem-
ber does not again intend offering himself for re-election.
In the meantime the Liberal party have again brought for-
ward Mr. Arthur J. Otway, who was defeated at the last
general election by a very narrow majority, and his friends
are now prosecuting an active canvass in his behalf, with,
it is stated, the most satisfactory results. Since the last
general election several hundred additional voters have been
added to the Parliamentary roll, and as fully two-thirds of
these are known to be supporters of the Liberal party the
friends of Mr. Otway speak confidently of that gentleman
being returned should the present member decide on again
contesting Chatham.

EAST KENT.

On Saturday an adjourned meeting of the leading mem-
bers of the Conservative party and of the representatives
of various district committees was held at the Royal Foun-
tain Hotel, Canterbury, to receive the reply of the Hon.
Butler-Johnstone to the requisition inviting him to become
a candidate, in conjunction with Sir B. W. Bridges. The
Hon. G. W. Mulles presided, and there was a numerous at-
tendance. It was reported that the requisition was presented
on Thursday, but that the Hon. Butler-Johnstone hesitated
to come forward unless assured of the support of a number
of gentlemen, professed Conservatives, who had not signed
the requisition. It was also reported that several of the
gentlemen alluded to had since given in their adhesion to
the movement, and there was reason to believe the others
would do so also. Thero was therfore, the Chairman re-
marked, very little doubt but Mr. Butler-Johnstone would
offer himself. It was accordingly decided that the chair-
man should proceed to London to report the result of the
meeting to the hon. gentleman, and that, in the event of his
deeming it satisfactory, Sir B. Bridges and the Hon. Butler-
Johnstone would be requested to issue a jcint address to the
electors. It was further decided that the district commit-
tees should commence an active canvass. As yet the Libe-
rals have not had any public meeting, but a movement has
commenced to support the re-election of the present mem-
bers, Sir B. W. Bridges and Sir E. C. Dering, in further-
ance of which object signatures are being obtained to the
following declaration :—" We, the undersigned electors,
who did not vote for Sir Edward Dering in. 1863, under-
standing that it is proposed to bring forward the Hon.
Butler-Johnstone as a Conservative candidate at the ap-
proaching general election, hereby declare our intention of
supporting our sitting members, and request the co-opera-
tion of our brother electors in this course." Among the
signatures already appended to this are those of several
influential Conservatives.
