The successive aggrandizements of the establishment of LA COM-

in Europe; the ware-rooms at the present day comprise upwards of
thirty saloons or galleries, having four separate entrances. Being
their own manufacturers, their productions are not liable to the
extra charges made on account of intermediate agents, and thus this
company can afford to offer to the public on terms far more advan-
tageous than any other house. Every article, even the Cachemires
is marked in plain figures.
LA COMPAGNIE LYONNAISE have established houses at

The essential object of this treatise is to point nut the fearful con-
l'efluences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
Which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is'
Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the h,selth, happiness, agd privileges to which every human being is
entitled.
It la absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
an _ d howthe evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

f •1 to keep himself alive. It might be asked, was there
anyone left to buy land, now we had exhausted the peo-
ple as, we bad done t After the potato famine in Ire-
land, and the passing of the Incuwbered Estates Act, it
was found that Irishmen bought the chief part of the
estates ; and, perhaps, it might be found, after all, that
there were people in India who possessed the means to
buy the land when it was offered them. The East In-
dia Company had often been in want of money, they had
something like 60,000,0001. of debt, and he believed a
large portion of that belonged to India. If the Ameri-
cans bad followed our example they would not have been
sending us three millions of bales of cotton. They bad
not a people to exhaust, as we had in India; they hid
the red Indian t) drive away, and then to induce the
capitalists to settle-on the land. If they had told him
he must take the cotton to market on bullock's backs,
would they have got the land cultivated ? The Ameri-
cans sold their land in fee simple, and provided roads,
railways, and canals. Why, therefore, should we hesi-
tate to demand that India should follow the example !
And no doubt if the Example were followed, India would
in due course of time supply cotton to an extent that
would satisfy reasonable wants. They who made these
demands asked for no "protection ;" they asked only
that obstacles should be removed. (Hear, hears) We
had been told that in China not a man rose from his bed
but covered himself more or less with cotton. There
were 300,000,000 of people there; there were
180,000, 000 in India in the same oaee, no doubt ;
and if we dil not provide the clothing, some one else
did, and it came from cotton. After all, where was
the ore of us who was not neck deep in nit-
ton and the woollen trade themselves would be starved
out if we had not cotton to keep them going. (Laughter.)
It had been said by the East India Company that the
Manchester people should go to India and grow their
own cotton. No doubt it would suit their purpose very
well, now they had squeezedout the Hindooe. (Laughter.)
It was vc ry kind to ask the Manchester people to spend
their money in India ; but how were they to get it back
again t However, they need not say much about the
East India Company now—they bad got " notice to
quit"—they had got two sheriff's officers at once
(great 'aught( r)—and he thought either Lord Palmerston
or Lord Der by would get them ousted. (Hear, hear.)
However it was done, if only there was afforded an op-
portunity of free ineercourseswitb. India, and a-reason-
able land tenure for security, he would venture to say
that if Manchester manufacturers did not themselves go
to grow cotton in India, Europeans would grow cotton
there, notwithstanding the scorching sun.
Mr. A. J. OTWAY responded. He believed the impe-
diments to the cultivation of cotton in India were chiefly
the want of communications, the land tenure, and the
administration of justice. At a meeting of the Socie'y
of
them Arts, no tno lessa personroas a

as to n d rbs asserting that very large sums bad been expended on
the East India Company, and that the accounts
of them were greatly exaggerated. He (Mr. ()tweet)
believed, however, that the roads in India were utterly
impracticable ; and that the East India Company, in

what they lied expended under the head of " Public

in the tone and spirit in which Indian affairs were
treated in the House of Common', and that the change
was mainly brought about by the eloquence, vigour, and
earnestness of one great man, the late member for Man-
chester—Mr. Bright. (Cheers.)
Mr. H. D. SEYMOUR, M.P., who also re sponded to the
toast, said it must be obvious that in the case of a semi-
educated people, or a wholly barbarous people, such as
inhabited many of the countiies where cotton could' be
cultivated, and who had no notion that such a place as
Mancopeeter existed, we could not apply the common
doctrines of po'itical economy. To make these people
aware of the fact that we wanted their cotton was
one of
the objects of this association, and it seemed a matter of
duty to carry it out. No doubt the supply would answer
the demand ; but, as had been well said by Mr. Edmund
Ashwortu, in the morning, it was a question of time,
and also of great loss of capital ; it m ght be a question'
of very great misery to our population,.and of very great
mischief to the institutions of the country itself. If,
therefore, by a very great temporary outlay we could
prevent the calamity, surely the object need only be
known to command increasing interest from every class
of the people of this country. (Cheers.)
Mr. T. CLEGG, in proposing " The Houses of Parlia-
ment," briefly described Ms operations for obtaining
cotton from Africa, as one means of inducing the native
Wets to ab +ndon the slave trade. He had induced natives
to come tO England to be instructed in the cleaning of
cotton, and they having been provided with the reguieite
implements, and sent back again to Abeokuta, the result
bad been. after seven years' gradual progress, that last
year 1,250 bales had been produced in that region
entirely by the natives themselves, and by no European
agency except in the prompt purchase of the cotton.
(Applause.)
Col. PATTEN, M.P., and Sir J. POTTER, M.P., re-
sponded.
Mr. DUNLOP, of Gltegow, proposed " Prosperity to
po loom-
or
north of India) responded. Ut believed the two Mr. ci - eop Tor the
-
mea-
sures which only would ensure perfect prosperity to
India, were —first, mix extended and liberal system of
education • and second, a full development of the re-
sources of coati, ry. He considered one of tee causes
of she mutiny was that we had broken down the aris-
tocracy of the country, and raised up nothing in its
place, which should have been interested for its ex-
istence in intimate connection with ourselves and the
g arhad
beenin which
said either
centirmance ef our Government. Such a class would
have been established. if we had ellow.d the sale of
land in fee simple. (Hear.) He challenged anybody to
show i as t
singlew v instance
Euro-
pean had ever purchased 'land in India fee simple.
Ato t
he native
etorra
rybemaintained that American cotton had been grown PUO-
- in Dharwar, arid it was going a little too far
for East India directors t it
o say could not be grown in
districts where it had never been attempted. (Hear,
hear.) His firm c • • onvictien was that India was the only
fi ld which would be able to compete with the United
States, and by strenuous and persevering endeavours he
had net the eliglote-t doubt of our success. (Cheers.)
Mr. R. RIDDELL also responded.
Mr J. A.. TURNER M.P., ro posed " Our Colonies
and Depenencies as additional fist Is of cotton cu.ture."
Sir J. BROOKE, K C. 8., responded. He thought it
probable that there was not one in • that room who knew
so little of cotton
supply or cotton manufaeture as him-
self, and could only venture to speak on information
from others. India was the central point from which all
the cotton demanded was to be sought ; but he could
never speak of India as a whole, or say that we would
grow cotton here or there in India, for we might as well
speak thus of Europe. There were many peoples, with
many different languages, and many different religions,
to be considered in detail. India was different from. Ame-
rica in one very important point—there was no slavery.
After all our practical legislation we must still inquire
" Will the native of India work the cotton we want I"
There were plenty of them to do it, but they were free
men, and might the ise to work sugar, or coffee, or
something else besides cotton ; and we were not quite
safe, merely because " India
can do it," in assuming
that if we obtained the land, " ergo must be done.
He believed it could be done, but be merely threw out
the suggestion as a detail worthy of attention. We could
not speak of India as a whole, and deal with the land
tenure of India
according
to the z enindaree and ryotwar
or other aystenns exactly by one enao, men; but it must be
done by a patient attention to detail. By such a course
be bedeved India would prove a large field of supply ;
but the more etreamlete we had to swell the great cur-
rent tne safer we should be, and, we should despise none
of them. In every one of them there were many and
very serious obstacles, whilst everywhere there was an
enormous area. In India we Lad not only the tenure of
the land but a very peculiar people to deal with, for we
had a mutiny in hand at this moment. Mr. Cleeg's
exertions—and there was the real y practical man—
(cheers)—who had devoted himself to the work, and
after seven years had produced 1,250 bales, showed how
slow the process wa,, and how many must be the sources
to supply the demand. Wherever we turned, it would
never do to speak merely of the enormous area on which
cotton could be grown, and assume that cotton can be
grown consequently, because such was really not the
fact. Wherever we could go in India, we should choose
the best points, those most accustomed to our appear-
ance, and there were plenty of them, and contenting
ourselves with some of tnose districts longest settled and
where the tenure was least opposed to change. Probably
some of the indigo districts in Bengal and Madras, where
Europeans had been long resident, would supply an
enormou. quantity with the least violent changes. In
all these discussions let it be remembered that the worst
measure well carried out was better than the best mea-
sure ruined by disaffection and faction. By perseverance
he believed the objects of the association would be suc-
cessful, but they would never succeed except by a sys-
tematic pursuit and minute consideration 'of details.
(Loud applause.)
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. J.
I Pander and Mr. M. Ross.
