TURKEY.

The Sultan's mother (Vali& Sultana) died
on the night of the Ist inst. She had long been
suffering from dropsy. This princess enjoyed the
reputation of great wisdom, and she always re-
ceived the most marked attention whenever she
appeared in her gilded araba. She interfered in
the affairs of the State, and her son, in questions
of great weight and importance, invariably followed
her advice. Her acts of benevolence are innume-
rable. She has built and endowed schools, hospi-
tals, khans for indigent travellers, and the poor
and needy looked up to her as their guardian.
Her age must have been about 52. Her remains
will be conveyed at midday to their resting-
place with great pomp. All the ministers and
chief employes will swell the funeral train. _

Owini to the above unfortunate event, political
discussions are suspended.

DESTRUCTION 07 A NEW WEAVING SHED.—On Fri-
day morning an immense new weaving shed of one
story in height, belonging to Messrs. Radcliffe, Bro-
thers, cotton mrnufacturers, near Rochdale, covering
10,000 square yards of ground, only partially covered in,
was blown down by a gust of wind, and about 2,000 t.
worth of property was destroyed. The builders were
at work, but all of them escaped alive, though some few
sustained rather severe bruises.

is By his Excellency Lieutenant-General the Hon. G.
Cathcart, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the
settlement of the Cape of Good Hope, in South Africa,
and of the dependencies thereof, Ordinary and Vice-
Admiral of the same, and her Majesty's High Com-
missioner for the settling and adjustment of the
affairs of the territories in Southern Africa, adjacent
and contiguous to the eastern and north-eastern fron-
tier of the said colony, and Governor of British
Kaffraria._

" Whereas the rebellious Gaika people have now been
driven oat of the Amatolas and all other Gaika lands,
and are dispersed—some having fled beyond the Kei,
and others wandering about without homes :
" And whereas the said people have ceased, for several
months past, to resist the Queen's troops, or to commit
thefts of cattle or offences against her Majesty's loyal
subjects}

"And whereas the hereditary chief Sandilli, to whose
fortunes, although deposed, the said people have con-
tinned devotedly attached, and other minor chiefs asso-
ciated with him who have caused all these evils, have at
length, in obedience to the Governor's ' word,' crossed
the Kei, and have acknowledged that they have been
subdued, and humbly crave pardon and an allotment of
some other land where they may be allowed to rest in
peace :
" And whereas it appears that the time has arrived
when an opportunity ought to be given to this misguided
people to be restored to habits of peace and good order,
and to be placed in a situation to return to their duty and
allegiance to her Majesty, under the efficient restraint
and control of some acknowledged and responsible chief :
" Now, therefore, I do hereby proclaim, declare, and
make known, that, considering her Majesty's authority
has been vindicated, and that sufficient punishment has
been inflicted, and with a view to the re-establishment
of peace and good order, I hereby extend the Royal
mercy and pardon to the said chief Sandilli and the
Gaika people.
"And I further proclaim, declare, and make known
that, although the said chief and chieftains and the
Gaika people cannot be allowed to return to tho Amatolas
and their other former lands,which have all been forfeited
to the Crown, are now in possession of her Majesty's
troops, and will be reserved as Crown lands, to be dis-
posed of according to her Majesty's pleasure, they will
nevertheless be permitted, under the responsibility of
their hereditary chief Sandilli, to live in peace in another
portion of British Kaffraria further removed from the
colonial frontier—that is to say, the country between the
Kei and the great north road leading to the Windvogel-
berg, and bounded on the north by the Thomas River,
and on the south by de country of the chief Umhala, on
the following conditions :
" 1. That the chief Sandilli, in token of submission,
shall deliver up one hundred guns, in addition to the
arms stolen by the Kafir police, and become responsible
for the good conduct of the Gaika tribe.
"2. That Cie chief Sandilli and all the people under
him shall in all things remain true and faithful in their
allegiance to the Queen, and obedient to her Majesty's
commands, conveyed through the Governor and the
Chief Commissioner, Colonel Maclean, or his deputies,
as heretofore.

" 3. That each minor chief lately in rebellion, before
he be permitted to reside in British Kaffraria, shall de-
liver
np, in token of his submission, his own arms, and
bind himself to obey her Majesty's commands, convoyed
as aforesaid, under the responsibility and control of the
said chief Sandilli, failing which he will continue to be
held to be an outlaw, and dealt with accordittgly:
"4. That the said chief Sandilli shall _ make an allot-
ment of land to each of the said minor chiefs, his depen-
dents, who may .have returned to their allegiance,
within the country hereby allotted to him, wherein they
shall dwell under his responsibility for their true and
loyal conduct in future.
" a. That the said chief Sandilli shall also be held re-
sponsible for the security of the great high road and the
property of travellers frequenting it, in the same man-
ner as Pato and 'Siwani are hound to protect the high
roads which pass through their country.
" Be it, however, hereby made known that this gene-
ral pardon will not extend beyond British Kaffraria, and
that any Kafir chief, or others, who may enter and be
apprehended within the colony, will, notwithstanding
this pardon, be amenable to justice, according to colo-
nial law, for any crimes they may have committed
within the said colony ; and, if found trespassing within
the Amatolas, they will be dealt with by summary jus-
tice under martial law.

" And, lastly, I do hereby proclaim, declare, and
make known, that no Hottentot will be allowed to settle
within the country hereby allotted to the said Gaika
tribes without special sanction being first obtained from
me.

"Given under my hand and seal, at King William's
Town, this 2d day of March, 1853.
" GEORGE CATHCART,
"Governor and High Commissioner.
" By command of his Excellency the Governor and
High Commissioner.
W. F. LIDDLE, Secretary to his Excellency
the Governor and her Majesty's High Com-
missioner."

The chiefs listened attentively while the above
terms were read and carefully explained to them ;
they then retired and held a consultation among
themselves which lasted four hours. Their opinions
of the conditions may be gathered from the speech
of Sandilli on their return to the Envoy. He
thanked the Governor for his message. He said,
however, that the territory assigned was not large
enough to support them ; and was, besides,
partly the property of Umhala, partly that of
Kreili, both chiefs at peace with the English.
Thrown upon this territory, the Gaikas would be
intruders, and this would lead to war. As to
delivering up the guns, this, he said, would be just
with regard to the arms of the native police who
had departed from the English ; they were dishon-
ourably obtained • but the men were now scattered
among all the different tribes, and it would require
much time to collect all the guns together. He
would give up a hundred muskets as a token of
submission, but their own arms they would keep,
"to fight for the Queen of the English." Sandilli
repeated that the ground assigned them by the
Governor was not enough • and, as he supposed
his Excellency could not alter the conditions by
which the Gaikas were expelled from their own
country, he hoped the General would send a sup-
plication on their behalf to the Queen of England,
that their lands might be restored to them, or they
would have "to go to war with each other for
grass !"
The conference then broke up. It is by no means
improbable that the contingency anticipated by
Sandilli at the close of his address will sooner or
later arrive, and that this condition of the present
peace contains the germ of another war. If the
-Kafirs are driven to fight each other " for grass,"
or, in other words, for existence, they will very
likely prefer joining together and trying another
conflict with us for the recovery of the territory
they evidently still regard as their own. Persons
who know the country state that the first drought
will be speedily followed by a renewal of hostilities.
For the moment, however, there is an inclination
here to hope the best, and to think that General
Cathcart has good reasons for exacting this condi-
tion. The Cape Town Commercial Advertiser
remarks asto the treaty—
" The terms thus granted are moderate and humane,
and therefore wise. It is believed by those who know
the Kafirs that no terms more severe would have been
accepted by them. It is time to treat with them as men,
which they have proved themselves to be, both in the
field and in the council. The grand error with many is
to regard them as children, and to speak of them as
beasts. They are neither the one nor the other."
It should be added that by the colonists on and
near the frontier the expulsion of the Gaikas beyond
the Kei is fully approved ; they have, indeed, stated
that the Governor would not do his duty if he con-
cluded peace on any other terms.
The conditions of the treaty having been accepted
by the Kafir chiefs, General Cathcart appointed a
day for an interview with them it took
place on the 9th of March, a the Yellow ;
seven miles from King William's Town.°Nrcia7zredust
150 Kafirs attended the meeting • the offi
gives the following list of the Glika. chiefs present
on the occasion :

"Each chief was attended by his Amapakati, or
councillors."
The Governor himself road the treaty to the
chiefs, Mr. Brownlee acting as interpreter. They
appeared to be in good spirits, said, " They were
glad to be taken out of the bush," and thanked his
Excellency " for giving them a coutry to live in ;"
repeating, however, their objection, that it was
" too small, altogether too small ;" it comprised
only the territory formerly held by a petty chief
called Toise, and therefore would "never be
enough for so large a tribe as themselves," and
again urged the Governor to present their prayer
to the Queen with regard to it. The Graham's
Town Journal publishes, by authority, a report of
the whole conference, in the form of a dialogue be-
tween the Governor and Macomo, who was the
spokesman of the Kafirs on the occasion. Macomo
is the elder brother of Sandilli, who, it is said, in
commencing this and the former war, acted against
his advice. On the part of the Governor the fol-
lowing address was read to the chiefs by the inter-
preter :
" Chiefs,--I am glad that lam now able to meet you
as friends, and as good subjects of our good and great
Queen.
" Chiefs--I look to you for the good conduct of your
people.
" I have seen how truly your people have adhered to
you, their chiefs, and how you can make them happy or
miserable by leading them right or wrong, as you choose.
Let me see that you, Sandilli, and you, Macomo, as well
as the other Gaika chiefs, are as good and as true to the
Queen, our great chief, as your people have been to you.
"The chiefs Pato, Siwani, Umhala, Kama, and Toise,
with others, wisely refused to join you in rebellion ;
they listened to the words of Maclean, and remained
unmolested, enjoying the pleasure of peace.
"Maclean is now in the place of Mackinnon, and he,
as my mouth, will live among you and govern you under
me, in the Queen's name.
" While it is war between us, I cannot talk with the
enemies of the Queen until they are subdued, and beg
for peace, and are forgiven.
" Now that you are forgiven, and it is peace with
you, Sandilli, my ears will be open to hear-your word,
and I. have placed Brownlee here, to listen to your
wished regarding the welfare of your people, and he will
carry them to Maclean and me. He will give you good
advice, which if you listen to, you and your people will
escape much trouble.
"Let- there be no more cattle-stealing, and then I
shall hope to see you sitting happily in peace, your gar-
dens flourishing, and your cattle feeding and increasing
along the rivers, and that the Queen's army will never
be called upon to punish any chief or tribe of Kafirs for
crimes committed against the colony, or for rebellion
against the Queen."
His Excellency added, that if the chiefs wished
to say anything he was ready to hear them. Ma-
como replied :--
"We have but one word to say, and to thank. We
thank the Governor for taking us out of the bush, and
for giving us a place to live in.
When a chief errs, he is punished and forgiven.
This young man (Sandilli) erred, and has been punished,
and is now forgiven, but the country you have given
him is too small. Toise, who formerly occupied it, had
but a small tribe. Sandilli has a large one, which will
not find room there.
" Governor.—These are things you should have
thought of before you went to war. I know that Toise
has but a small tribe, and that it never half filled the
country allotted him.
"Macomo.—We look to you to speak for us, and to
represent our case to the Queen. We are her subjects.
When settled in the country allotted us, Kreili, Umhala,
and Toise will affect to be satisfied, but will regard us as
intruders, and this will cause constant heartburmngs
between us.

" Governor,—/ will send your words to the Queen,
but I will give you no hope of ever again occupying the
Amatolas, as when you were there you were constantly
plotting mischief, and cannot be trusted there again.".
At the conclusion of the meeting, and after the
Governor had left, the chiefs and their people
thronged round Colonel Maclean, their new Chief
Commissioner, whom they greeted with great cor-
diality.
There are no later accounts from the frontier.
Subjoined are a few extracts from the colonial
journals on the termination of the war :
(Eastern Province News, March 5.)

" We have already noticed the evacuation of the Ama,
tolas. The expulsion of the Gaikas from that fine territory
is a very important measure. The Gaikas have been
fighting for their lands, and they have been worsted. In
the memory of living men their frontiers once touched
the Uitenhage township borders ; now, through a suc-
cession of wars extending over no long period, they are
driven back some 200 miles, without hope of recovering
again an inch of their forfeited territory. The colonists
have suffered by these wars, but it amounts to some-
thing worse than absurdity to affirm that the Kafirs
-have not been yet far &eater losers. What progress
have they made in wealth, or in kequisition of any kind,
during the last quarter of a century of wars, compared
with that which they would have undoubtedly made
during a like period of peace ? HoW poor their condi-
tion, compared with that of the Basutos, who have had
peace fer the last 15 years ! We trust that war will at
last appear even to the Gaikas the very losing game
which it proves. There is nothing to be recovered by
it. Each war carries them further backward and down-
ward. Their next effort may leave them without any
territory wherein to rest."
(From the Cape Town Commercial Advertiser, March 21.)
" The frontier post of Saturday brought no news.
The 'peace is criticised with much severity in the
frontier journal; more moderately in some of the Port
Elizabeth papers. That the peace must long be an
armed one, if the present frontier is to be preserved, is
clear, but this would not have been less clear had the
war been prosecuted until the Gaikas were exterminated
or driven over the Kei. It is for military men to deter-
mine what amount and description of force will be re-
quired to protect the colonial frontier, to preserve obe-
dience within British Caffraria, and to present a front to
the tribes beyond the Kei and the Orange River.
Speaking of British Caffraria only, Sir George Napier
and Sir sPeregrin Maitland suggested 5,000 or 7,000
men; experience in the war just closed, and the exten-
sion of British sovereignty to the Vaal River, will pro-
bably incline them to add 3,000 more. Taking all
charges into account for the support of such an army,
in such a country, the British Treasury would scarcely
come out under a million sterling a-year. This can
hardly be expected, and therefore some less expensive
means of defence for the old colony will have to be de-
vised."

That there are many'persons dissatisfied with the
change to a state of peace is proved by the neces-
sity of publishing the following general order,
which was issued by Governor Cathcart immedia-
tely after his return to King William's Town :
" Head-quarters, King William's Town,
March 8.
" The Commander-in-Chief has reason to believe that
there are certain persons, followers of the army in Bri-
tish Caffraria, resident within the military rayon of the
post of King William's Town, who have been so base
as to attempt to obstruct the restoration of peace by
their evil designs, false rumours, and other nefarious
means, with a view to prolong their own profitable deal-
ings, which the restoration of peace may probably limit
in extent.

"Be it known, therefore, that such conduct amounts
to high treason, and will be dealt with accordingly.
" It is hereby commanded that all officers, non-com-
missioned officers, and soldiers, and all magistrates, do
use their utmost endeavours to detect and bring to jus-
tice miscreants so offending.
" Such offenders, when so brought to justice, should
they not be summarily dealt with as they deserve, by
the infliction of the immediate punishment of death under
martial law, but be mercifully brought to a general
court-martial, either in British Caffraria or other dis-
tricts, in which martial law prevails, and be duly con-
victed of the said heinous offence, the president and
members of such general courts-martial are hereby re-
minded, that the prisoner being tried under the 108th
article of war, the powers of the Court extend to im-
prisonment with hard labour for life; and their sentence,
when duly approved, will be carried into effect in one of
the convict stations within the colony of the Cape of
Good Hope, under a colonial ordinance which has been
passed as a provision for such cases.
"A. J. CLOETE, Quartermaster-General.
"By command of his Excellency the Governor and
Commander of the Forces.
" CHARLES SEYMOUR, Lieutenant-Colonel,
Military Secretary."
Some of the " traders general dealers, and in-
habitants " of King William's Town felt aggrieved
by the above order, and drew up an address, pray-
ing his Excellency to allow them to disprove the
" base and malicious insinuations made by spme
evil person or persons," on which they supposed
the order was founded ; 38 signatures were placed
to it. This address received the, following reply :
" King William's Town, March 9.
"Gentlemen —I am directed by his Excellency the
Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your memorial
of this date.

The Alecto, lying at Lagos, with the Britomart, was
ordered to get her steam up immediately, and both ves-
sels started--Britomart in tow of Alecto—for Cape
Coast, where they anchored on the evening of the Ist of
April. The arrival of the two men-of-war evidently
inspired the natives with great confidence.
The Ashantees to the number before mentioned (10,000
or 12,000), on finding about 140 officers and men of the
Gold Coast Corps, together with about 6,000 Native
Auxiliaries, prepared to check their further progress,
came to a halt. One of the English officers (Lieutenant
Brownhill), who had full powers from the Governor to
enter into negotiations, very gallantly gave himself up
to the Ashantees as a hostage for the prisoners confined
in the castle.

On this being communicated to Governor Hill,
the two Ashantee Chiefs, with their followers, were
immediately liberated and escorted to the Ashantee
camp ; but the Ashantees were not so ready to give
back Lieutenant Brownhill, and several days' tedious
negotiation was the result. The Governor, however,
seeing nothing could be done in that way, sent and
called out the neighbouring tribes under British protec-
tion to his assistance, and in the short space of 48
hours an addition was made to our auxiliary brie of
nearly 8,000 men. A message was then sent to the
head chief of the Ashantee army, informing him that if
he did not within 24 hours liberate Lieutenant Brown-
hill, and express proper contrition for their aggressive
act, war would be formally declared, and immediate
measures taken for overrunning their country and
marching on Coomassie, their capital.
The Ashantees, finding, for once, the English "deter-
mined," and not inclined to put up with their vacilla-
tion, thought discretion the better part of valour, and
not only immediately liberated Lieutenant Brownhill
with all honours and everything else required of them,
but commenced their immediate march into their own
country. So at present rests the affair.
The chiefs of tribes under our protection pronounce
this ready obedience of the Ashantees as only a blind
to measures ultimately intended, and disappointment
rather than exultation at the pacific result appears to
prevail.
Could Coomassie, the Ashantee capital, be taken, the
greatest highway to the civilisation of Africa woald be
opened, and it could be done much more easily than is
generally imagined.
It must have been very gratifying to the Governor of
Cape Coast to find the summons he sent to the few
tribes so readily obeyed, and it is well known that in
the course of two months a force (irregular certainly) of
30,000 men would be ready to act in concert witl the
English.
The country about and beyond Coomassie is ride in
gold, and the climate is spoken of as most salubrious.
The prevailing belief among those versed in the
character of these people is, that after the present
rains, that, is about November or December next,
the Ashantees will make another and more or-
ganised descent. Should they do so, their re-
peated aggressions will certainly deserve punish-
ment, and should the opinion of the present energetic
Governor of the colony have its due weight three
months will see Coomassie ours. The King of Daho-
mey, with less powerful, but not less troublesome,
chiefs, will, on finding us so determined, be too ready to
act in concert with us for the amelioration of Africa, if
they do not actually place themselves under the British
flag.
The above has been the state of affairs at Cape Coast
for the last three weeks. Three English men-of-war are
lying off the place, but they now disperse to their dif-
ferent stations—Britomart and Alecto to Ascension,,
and the Polyphemus, lately arrived, to Lagos.
The slave trade is evidently showing signs of returning
animation. The Ferret took a prize a week or two ago ;
no slaves, but about 200 doubloons on board. Several
vessels are reported to have got away with slaves—not
from any want of activity among the cruisers, but be-
cause they come over fully protected, by flying the
American flag and having American papers. They are,
on theirarrival, sold to the slave dealers; the American
portion of the .crew are landed, others take their place,
and a vessel that at 8 o'clock in the morning was a bona
fide Americap, at 8 o'clock in the evening is a Brazilian
with 400 slaves on board, and starting on her voyage.
As a case in point, the captain of a vessel called the
Jasper, under American colours, sold his vessel, and
took his passage in :the last packet (the Faith) for
England.

LAGOS, MA.RCII 28.

Lagos at present has quite an animated appearance.
There are nine sail of merchant vessels lying here, al-
though where the palm oil that they say they are come for
is to be procured I know not.
•The late misunderstanding between the Abeyakoutan
chiefs and missionaries on one side, and the political
measures of the senior officer of the Bights' division on
the other, was very happily settled by the timely arrival
of the admiral.

A large town, about 60 miles from Abeyakouta, called
Accha, has been made a missionary station, the Rev. Mr.
Hinderer with his amiable wife having taken up their resi-
dence there. Three missionaries were landed from this
last packet. One remains at Lagos, one goes to Abeya-
kouta, and one to Accha. The Rev. Mr. Golmer, resi-
dent missionary here, is most indefatigable in his ardu-
ous duties, and we cannot but admire men who give up
a'l for the good cause.
Mr. Fraser, the present Vice-Consul, is to be super-
seded by Mr. Benjamin Campbell, a resident of 20 years
on the coast, and a gentleman every way conversant
with the native character, who will doubtless prove him-
self a very valuable acquisition to this rising town and
its dependencies.

"His Excellency has no reason to doubt that the in-
habitants of King William's Town who signed the me-
morial are all honest men and loyal subjects, and, if they
are so, the general order can have no reference to them.
"I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
"Your most obedient humble servant,
"W. F. LIDDLE, Private Secretary.
"M. Hart, Esq., and the other Gentlemen
who signed the Memorial."

CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM.'

Horse Guards, March 28, 1853.
In reference to article 2, page 91, of the Queen's
regulations and orders for the army, commanding-officers
of regiments and depots are requested, in making appli-
cations for the exchange of arms, &c., to transmit dupli-
cate returns in the prescribed form to the Adjutant-
General, instead of sending one to the agents, as has
hitherto been the practice ; and, in the case of drums
and bugles, it is to be particularly stated whether they
are required in kind, or whether the allowance in lieu
thereof is desired.

THE CAMP AT CHOBTLIM.---100 men of the 95th Regi-
ment of Foot, stationed at Chatham, left their barracks
there on Friday last, and came up by the North Kent
Railway from Strood to London, and thence to the
Waterloo terminus, en route to the station at Chertsey,'
being the nearest station of the railway to Chobham-coni-
mon. The company of Sappers, who arrived on the
same day, and the detachment of the 95th, slept under
canvas on the common.

The Star, 8, Commander Warren, arrived at Spithead
yesterday, from Chatham,
•

- Some important and interesting practice was exhibited
yesterday and Friday from the Excellent's two-gun
battery upon the York, 74, hulk, moored as a butt for
shot and shell expeziments. A quantity of live shell
and powder was placed on board the York, between her
beams overhead and in other situations, hitherto sup-
posed out of the reach of danger. The object was to
test the practicability of blowing the ship up. During
the trial several shells have exploded, but the "blowing
up" was not accomplished. The Port-Admiral, Admiral-
Superintendent, the officers of the fleet, and others of
the military service, have been present at the experi-
ments, which will be continued. Prince Albert was
expected to have been present on Friday, but the
weather, it is said, prevented his Royal Highness making
the trip...

The Illustrious, 72, having been partially prepared, at
no inconsiderable expense, for three different purposes,
and applied to none, remains at Haslar-creek, a stand-
ing, or rather floating, joke upon Admiralty harmony of
intention and consistency. Originally fitted for a block-
ship, then found to be too weak, she was rigged 'as a
gunnery-ship and for exercising newly-raised men. That
project, we believe, was the First Lord's, and, carried
out by Captain Chads, would have been of utility.
This was upset, and the unfortunate Illustrious was fitted
for an hospital-ship, the Agamemnon fever having again
changed the Admiralty cue, but the "hospital-ship" has
had no patients, tior is she ever likely to have any.

MANCHESTER, May 19.—Since Tuesday last there is
little or no change to report in the state of our market.
The firmness which then characterised it has been fully
maintained; and when any change has taken place, it
has generally been in favour of the producer. There
seems to be a struggle going on between the buyer and
the seller, the former being willing to place orders at
the prices of last week, and the latter refusing to accept
them at an advance upon former transactions. Alto-
gether the business 'of the week has been but moderate ;
though there is no, doubt it would have been much larger
had it not been that spinners and manufacturers have
felt their position in relation to their workpeople to be
such as to cause the stoppage of their mills at an early
period ; and for that reason many contracts have been
declined. We think it may not be inoppprtune, at the
present moment, to state what appear to us as insuper-
able objections to the new condition which it is sought to
impose on the right to return fraudlently packed cotton.
The trade are but too well aware, from experience, that
the adulteration of this article has been carried to a far
greater extent in the present than in any former year.
The admixture of sand, and the introduction of an in-
ferior wool, or of leaves, sticks, and stones, so inclosed
within wool of the quality professedly packed, as to pre-
vent detection by the very imperfect mode of examina-
tion now in use, has indeed grown into an evil of such
magnitude as to call for the application, not of a less,
but of a more effectual counteraction than has hitherto
been adopted by those whe suffer most from a system of
fraud becoming so disgraceful to the American planters.
It has heretofore been the rule that sticks, stones, leaves,
and inferior wool are returnable to the 'importer at the
price paid for them. On the suggestion of the American
Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool,
.and with the con-
currence of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Commercial Association of • Manchester, it has,
however, been determined by the Cotton Brokers'
Association of Liverpool, that all returns shall
father be replaced by an approved quality, or
_paid for at the prices of the day on which such
returns shall take place. Now, trivial as this altera-
tion may appear to be, it is one whose operation will
certainly be adverse to the interests of the 'trade.
Should the market rise, the buyer will hardly trouble
himself to send back an inferior cotton which has become
worth somewhere about as much as will be allowed, to'
him for that better article whichhewas to have received.
There can be no doubt that dishonest planters will derive
encouragement in their mal-practices from this sort of
calculation. Should the market fall, the buyer will'
receive back less than he paid both for sticks and for
bad cotton. • In either of these supposed cases, the ends
of the unprincipled will be promoted by the new rule.
But how is the day's value of the returned cotton to be
determined ? The spinner will not leave this to the
selling broker ; nor will the' merchant leave it to the
buying broker. The two brokers are pretty sure to dis-
agree, and the point must be referred to other parties'. The .
settlement will thus be attended with a degree of trouble
and cost which, in many cases, will manifestly operate.
as a motive with the buyer to submit to the original in-
justice, rather than go through so vexatious a process.
The old rule has the merit of simplicity, and of a fairness
which is obvious at first sight. No referees are to be
called in to settle present
.values. The spinner says to
the merchant "here is your own invoice : pay me ac-
cording to that ;" and the merchant addresses himself in
the same way to the planter.'- It is for the trade to take
care that this straightforward practice shall not give place
to one which, by lessening ithe buyer's chance of redres-
sing a wrong, and by , diminishing his motive for ma-
king the attempt, must diieCtly- tend to encourage
the wrong-doer. Without in' the slightest degree im-
pugning the Motives' of ,importers, we may take it as
quite natural that they-should be in favour of an 'altera-
tion which is calculated to Bali() them a good deal of
troublesome back-reckoning with distant correspondents,
and to throvi upon other people losses which they them-
selves, are in all fairness, bound to see adjusted. But
it is singular that any buying 'broker should so far fail
to perceive the _true interests of their principals, as to
sanction a rule which renders the means of settling dis-
putes increasingly complicated, and,, therefore, less likely
to prove satisfactory. Let spinners be assured that if
the point in question be &needed, it will not be long before
they are again called' upon to agree to a 'shortening of
the time for the return of packed cotton from twelve to
six months. •

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL•
WAY.—On Thursday evening, a fatal accident occurred
on this line of railway to a man whose name we have
not yet been able to ascertain, under the following cir-
cumstances :-.—The main line of the Great 'Northern
Railway crosses the Lincoln and Nottingham branch
of the Midland, between Newark • and' Carlton, and, at
about seven o'clock, a person was observed standing on
the former line, and watching a luggage train which was
leaving Newark for Nottingham, when at the same in-
stant the No. 10 down passenger train came up at a
considerable speed on the Great Northern line, and be-
fore .the unfortunate man could get out of the way he
was dashed to pieces. His remains, of which no less
than twenty parts were picked up,- were • collected toge-
ther and taken to Newark, where they await the coro-
ner's inquest. Several of the passengers witnessed the
accident, and were horrified at the mangled state of the
)

corpse.
