BUENOS AY.RES.

The advices from Buenos Ayres yesterday by the
French mail reach to the 15th ult. They confirm
the news of the successful advance of General Mitre,
who, with the army of Buenos Ayres, had occupied
the town and port of Rosario without any resist-
ance, the place having been previously abandoned
by the President of the Confederation, Dr. Derqui,
who retired in the direction of the city of Parana.
It was considered in Buenos Ayres that the triumph
of that province is now secured, and that a new
organisation of the Republic would soon be effected
"on a more equitable and solid basis than that
of 1800." Annexed is an extract of a mercantile
letter :

" Buenos Ayres, Oct. 15.
" Since the victory at Pavon on the 17th of Sep-
tember, which, although claimed by both parties,
was, as subsequent events have proved, gained by
the Buenos Ayres infantry, the field operations of
the remnants of General Urquiza's forces have con-
sisted in robbing and driving off cattle and sheep
from the Buenos Ayres territory. In the confusion
one or two peaceful Irish sheep farmers have had
their throats cut, but, considering that at least
8,000 to 10,000 ruffians broke loose, the damage to
life and property has been very small. This is
mainly to be attributed to the discipline which
General Mitre has enforced among his followers.
The President of the Confederation, his Commander-
in-Chief, and some few men have abandoned the
town of Rosario, and escaped with their fleet to
Parana, the capital of the Confederation.
" The army of General Mitre now occupies
Rosario, and the star of Buenos Ayres is decidedly
in the ascendant. The Confederation, on the other
hand, is entirely out of funds, and being likewise
in bad credit, we may soon hear of the termination
of the war and a fresh organisation..of the Repub-
lic under the auspices of the province of Buenos
Ayres.
" Ruin has fallen abundantly, and everything
promises well for cattle and sheep farmers. Business
is at a complete stand, but with the prospects of a
revival in a short time. It is said Urquiza had sent
a confidential agent to treat for peaco with General
Mitre at Rosario.

" The first section of the railway from Ascension
(the capital of Paraguay) to Villa Rica was opened
this month. The line, when finished, will be 90
miles in length."

The Queen has been pleased to give and grant unto
Lieut. Henry-Chad Cattley, of Fane's Irregular Cavalry,
her Majesty's royal license and permission that he may
accept and wear the Insignia of the Imperial Order of the
Legion of Honour of the Fifth Class, which his Majesty the
Emperor of the French has been pleased to confer upon him
as a mark of his Imperial Majesty's approbation of his dis-
tinguished services before the enemy during the late com-
bined British and French operations in China.
FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 18.

Danelsberg, as Consul at Singapore for the Grand
Duke of Oldenburgh.

Our market this morning was largely attended, and the
business doing in wheat, oats, &c., was good, at about
late prices.

ITALY.

We have received a letter from the Central Com-
mittee of Prevision (Comitato Centrale di Prov-
vedi niento), sitting at Naples, complaining of the
tenor of a late telegraphic despatch, communicated
to the journals by the Havas-Bullier agency, accord-
ing to which General Turr had communicated to
the said committee General Garibaldi's intention
not to order any movement for the solution of the
questions of Rome and Venice, adding that those who
might not accept this resolution had best leave the
committee to act as they might think proper. This
despatch, according to our letter, is erroneous, inas-
much as General Turr had received no mission of
the kind from Garibaldi, who corresponds directly
with the committee, while, on the other hand,
a representative of the eommittee, M. Bellazzi,
was at Caprera at the same time as General Turr,
and would, therefore, have received directly any
communication General Garibaldi might have
thought proper to make; so that General Turr had
no mission whatever to the committee.

A letter from Turin, of the 16th, in the Con-

"The nomination of a certain number of sena-
tors is imminent, and I can give you beforehand

Minister of War ; General Gianotti, Commander
of the Ist Military Department ; the Marquis de
Torrearza, Prefect of Florence, and Baron Bol-

morrow submitted to the King for signature, as
well as those for the nomination of all the Prefects

to Naples is definitively fixed for January, and

NEWS FROM SEA.

All America is listening for the news from sea.
At every gust which flew through the streets of
Northern cities, laden with the full honours of
autimn, and stripping the trees on the boulevards
of their foliage, men's hearts beat fitfully, and many
a prayer was offered up for the safety of the flotilla
contending with the waves along that stormy coast.
We may well fancy with what delight and thank-
fulness the furious blasts were welcomed at the
Confederates' watchfires, and the contending suppli-
cations which rose to Heaven from:North and South,
as the gale waxed fiercer throughout the night. It
will take many cannons and many bayonets to
make these Northerners and Southerners pray alike.
All that the most sanguine here can do is to hope
for the best, and to rely on the law of storms and
the theory of Sir William Reid. An officer of the
Navy Department assured me last night he was
satisfied the expedition had escaped the tempest,
the full force of which had, according to him, re-
volved northward ; but this official will learn more
to-morrow, and the telegraph will probably convey
some definite intelligence to New York after the
despatch of this letter. If it be unfavourable, ex-
pect great irritation and depression, but "no sur-
render."

THE 4TH OF JULY.

I was amused the other day to see it stated that
the 4th of July was a date abhorred in Great Bri-
tain, and that it was always rankling in the heart of
Albion from infancy to extremest old age. It is a
pity to say, but it is true, that 99 out of 100 inhabi-
tants of the Isla are in the profoundest ignorance
of any particular event connected with that day, as
much so, perhaps, as is Young America of the me-
mories of the sth of November. We know more
about Brennus than we do of Madison, and there
are crowds of respectable, well-informed English-
men, not ignorant of history, who could not for the
lives of them tell who Alexander Hamilton—l do
not allude to the late excellent representative of
Trinity College—was, or throw the smallest light
on the career and actions of Edmund Randolph,
and other shining beacons of liberty, although they
could discriminate nicely the characters of the two
Gracchi, and have sound views respecting the causes
of the fall of Sejanus.

THE OFFER OF ARBITRATION.

The notion of asking or accepting the Emperor
of Russia to do some intercession is dying away ;
it was, indeed, the offspring of the belief that
the Czar meant his letter to be taken as an
offer of good-natured arbitration in the quarrel.
Now we hear of a sort of deputation going to
Europe to agitate public opinion, principally in
England, and to stir up the depths in the political,
commercial, and religious world respecting the
troubles and the future of the United States. The
path of any such pilgrims will be smeothed, no
doubt, by a victory, but there will also be a thorn
growing in it which must prove painful and embar-
rassing to their progress.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Borne, in the independence says :
" The affair of the valley of Dappes is not so near
a solution as appears to be believed in Paris. It
follows the same path and takes exactly the same
turn as that of Ville-la-Grand, that is to say, the
reports of the Swiss agents contradict completely
the version transmitted to the Imperial Go-
vernment by the administrative and military autho-
rities of the departments of the Jura, and also the
explanations given at Berne by the Marquis de
Turgot. M. Kern writes from Paris, as was
expected after the language of the Moniteur, that
the French Government denies in the most formal
manner that there was on the part of France any
violation of territory. It appears, says M. Thou-
venel, from the explanations given by the gene-
ral commanding the 7th military division to
the Minister of War, that measures were only
taken on the frontier to prevent a projected
arrest, contrary to the established state of things
on the disputed territory, and that it is not true
that the French gendarmes or soldiers violated any
portion of the territory of Vaud. The affirmation
of General Faucheur, adds the Minister, is as cate-
gorical as possible in that respect, and the General
says that he cannot understand why the Swiss
authorities should have made any complaints. In
addition to these explanations of M. Thouvenel to
M. Kern, the Ambassador of *France gave to the
President of the Confederation the assurance that
neither the hamlet of Les Cressonnieres, nor any
other point in the valley of Dappes, had been occu-
pied by the French armed force, the latter not
having gone beyond the disputed territory. The
Marquis de Turgot added that the measures of pre-
caution adopted by France would be continued as
long as the situation should remain the same, but
that the Imperial Government was ready to enter
into negociations."

The above work contains most useful and interesting
information on the physiological changes which occur
in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth,
puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that
degree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity
depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man-
heod can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they
are lost, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the
gross exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous
remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac-
tising with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious
injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive.
The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner
whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only
true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu-
sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the
variou functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive
system, which, owing to the c,reat discoveries of modern
science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple,
and easy mode of treatment.

CONGRESS AND THE CONFEDERATES.

We are told, by one who ought to know, that
among the very first acts of Congress when it meets
will be a most stringent law of confiscation; and,
as long as the Federalists regard the Confederates
merely as rebels against a certain abstract sove-
reignty called the Union, it is not easy to predict
how far they may go in punishing treasoh and
rebellion.

THE FEDERALISTS IN VIRGINIA.
As a curious instance of the ideas entertained by
some of the Federalists respecting the position of
their enemies in this war, I may mention that the
Philadelphia Press, with a certain unction, states
that the Federalist soldiers are marking out, plant-
ing, and sowing for themselves farms in the neigh-
bourhood of their camps in Virginia, which were
deserted by the proprietors on the approach of the
Federal columns. They seem to regard the soil of
the seceded States very much as the legions of
Augustus might have looked on the lands about the
Po and Ticino.

TIIE SLAVES OF THE SOUTH.

No proposition could be more repugnant to North-
ern men as that of receiving the four millions of
slaves of the South among their own people, and it
is trite to remark that the antagonism between the
lower classes of whites and free black labourers
in the North is very bitter, and would produce
great disorders if the latter element was largely
augmented. Nowhere did I ever hear the negro
spoken of with such hatred and contempt as
by the poor whites near the Canadian frontiers.
The driver of a hack at Niagara told me, " If some
of us had our wills we'd send the cusses to - over
the falls to• morrow," and such facilis descensus
Averni would no doubt be favourably viewed by tho
noble citizens who treated Mr. Asa Pratt to a ride
on a rail the other day because he uttered Seces-
sionist sentiments up North. The idea of the Union
which bound the early Republic together seems to
have lost its power wherever slavery has prepared
a nidus in which to hatch the doctrines of State
rights into Secession. Look, for instance, at Ken-
tucky. There all the old men are for the Union, but
the young men, the fighting classes, are for Seces-
sion ; so much so that, notwithstanding the action
of the Legislature in favour of the Union, the Fe-
deralists can only retain their hold in the State by
pouring in regiments from Ohio, Indiana, and Illi-
nois, and General Sherman frankly admitted it
would require 200,000 men to secure the State for
the North.

THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Whatever the gallantry of the troops engaged at
Ball's Bluff, the result must have inspired anything
but confidence in their leaders among the troops
engaged. In proportion to the number, I know of
no greater slaughter. The whole French army lost
less in killed and wounded at the Battle of the Alma
—the English and Turks lost less at the Battle of
Balaklava—the number of our killed at Inkerman
was not much more than half the total loss of the
Federalists in killed, wounded, and missing ; but
these were glorious victories—Big Bethel, Bull's
Run, Ball's Bluff.

stands, it is almost sufficient to bear in mind such
facts, for example, as that the capital required by
the new company is as moderate as merely
£lOO,OOO, and that the shares are only £2
each—the Limited Liability Act defining, of course,
clearly enough the proportionate responsibility
devolving upon each individual shareholder. As to
the very moderate capital required by the Govern-
ment for the new Company—a capital expressed by
a plum—it is encouraging to learn that two-thirds
of it were subscribed within a few days from its
first announcement. All things considered, we are
not surprised to see Sir MACDONALD STEPHENSON
asserting very confidently that " The prospects of
success were considered satisfactory by the highest
authorities, that the result of success would be to
impart a high value to the shares, and that the
result of failure would be to recover the money laid
out from the sale of the property of the old com-
pany now made"over absolutely to the new com-
pany. It was," he said, "a one-sided speculation
with great contingent advantages, and without
risk of losing the capital under any circumstances."
Altogether certainly a most alluring enterprise !
Heartily do we wish it the success that we rest per-
fectly confident now is reserved for it. And
we are all the more sanguine, of course, of the
happy issue of the undertaking from our knowledge
of the fact that there is now in daily use an un--
broken cable one thousand four hundred miles in
length—namely, the great submarine electric cable
of the Malta and Alexandria Telegraph !

BLACK AND V HITE BLOOD.

If the Northern States be anxious to emancipate
the slaves of the South, I am forced to believe it is
not from any good will to the African race, or any
recognition of its members as human beings of their
own kind. In fact, it would be a problem for these
unhappy, involuntary immigrants—if they had
intellect for it—to determine whether their social
ostracism and the cruel prejudice against them in
the North would not be far less bearable than their
chattel condition in the South. Just take this case
from a paper of to-day :
" The people of Cleveland have been somewhat excited

IA coloured man, attached to Dan Rice's circus, won the
affections of a white girl named Emily Fuller, and, obtain-
ing a certificate in the usual way, married her. The girl,
after the marriage, returned to her father's house, and her
dusky lord, believing that her parents prevented her j An-
ing him, sued out a writ of habeas corpus in one of the
Cleveland courts; but it appearing, on an investigation :of
the case, that she was not restrained in any way of tier
liberty, the case was dismissed. This over, her father ob.
tained a warrant for the arrest of the justice who performed
the marriage, under an act passed last winter by the Ohio
Legislature, entitled, 'An Act to Prevent the Amalgama-
tion of the White and Coloured Races.' This act, besides
making it unlawful for any person possessing a visible ad-
mixture of African blood to intermarry with any person of
pure white blood, makes any person convicted of solemnis-
ing such a marriage liable to a fine of 100 dols, or imprison-
ment for a term not exceeding three months, at the discre-
tion of the court. The case is still under advisement."

THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Whatever the gallantry of the troops engaged at
Ball's Bluff, the result must have inspired anything
but confidence in their leaders among the troops
engaged. In proportion to the number, I know of
no greater slaughter. The whole French army lost
less in killed and wounded at the Battle of the Alma
—the English and Turks lost less at the Battle of
Balaklava—the number of our killed at Inkerman
was not much more than half the total loss of the
Federalists in killed, wounded, and missing ; but
these were glorious victories—Big Bothel, Bull's
Run, Ball's Bluff.

GENERAL SCOTT.

The retirement of General Scott, which I an-
nounced some weeks back as certain to take place in
October, was deferred to the last day of the month.
On the 9th November the late commander of the
United States' army will, if sufficiently recovered
from his fatigues, sail in the Arago for Europe.
"Rude jam donatus," ho seeks the society of his
family in Paris and the skill of European physicians
to restore his spirits and his strength. It could not
be said " Superfluous lags the Veteran on the stage"
if the Secretary of War really meant he would con-

tinue to seek the counsel and advice of the old
soldier ; but it was well for the General to escape
from defamatory insinuations, and from a position
which he could not continue to hold with advantage
to his country or honour to himself.
London, England, 1861-11-20

THE POSITION OF THE FEDERALS.

A blockade which owes its recognition to courtesy
—an army held at bay by " rebels"—a capital all
but beleaguered, and cut off from supplies by sea,
where it is mistress of sailors and fleets—the
Monroe doctrine nullified—these are bitter draughts
for a people which, without offence, we may de-
scribe as the most haughty and boastful on the face
of the earth. Perhaps there are other nations not
less so, but they have no way of making it known.
There are signs of a disposition growing every
day to find victims among the Cabinet, and to
hold them responsible for this state of things, and
the forthcoming Session of Congress is regarded
with anxiety, although the Unionist ranks will pre-
sent a front almost unbroken and the massive form
of Breckenridge has gone out from among them. It
is felt that honesty in the Executive must be rein-
forced by vigour in council and by original ideas in
policy, nor will the anti-Abolitionists be at all dis-
posed to permit Mr. Cameron's recent instructions
respecting slave property to pass without censure or
resistance.

BUENOS A Y.RES.

The advices from Buenos Ayres yesterday by the
French mail reach to the 15th ult. They confirm
the news of the successful advance of General Mitre,
who, with the army of Buenos Ayres, had occupied
the town and port of Rosario without any resist-
ance, the place having been previously abandoned
by the President of the Confederation, Dr. Derqui,
who retired in the direction of the city of Parana.
It was considered in Buenos Ayres that the triumph
of that province is now secured, and that a new
organisation of the Republic would soon be effected
"on a more equitable and solid basis than that
of 1860." Annexed is an extract of a mercantile
letter

" Buenos Ayres, Oct. 15.
" Since the victory at Pavon on the 17th of Sep-
tember, which, although claimed by both parties,
was, as subsequent events have proved, gained by
the Buenos Ayres infantry, the field operations of
the remnants of General Urquiza's forces have con-
sisted in robbing and driving off cattle and sheep
from the Buenos Ayres territory. In the confusion
one or two peaceful Irish sheep farmers have had
their throats cut, but, considering that at least
8,000 to 10,000 ruffians broke loose, the damage to
life and property has been very small. This is
mainly to be attributed to the discipline which
General Mitre has enforced among his followers.
The President of the Confederation, his Commander-
in-Chief, and some few men have abandoned the
town of Rosario, and escaped with their fleet to
Parana, the capital of the Confederation.
" The army of General Mitre now occupies
Rosario, and the star of Buenos Ayres is decidedly
in the ascendant. The Confederation, on the other
hand, is entirely out of funds, and being likewise
in bad credit, we may soon hear of the termination
of the war and a fresh organisation of the Repub-
lic under the auspices of the province of Buenos
Ayres.

Ruin has fallen abundantly, and everything
promises well for cattle and sheep farmers. Business
is at a complete stand, but with the prospects of a
revival in a short time. It is said Urquiza had sent
a confidential agent to treat for peace with General
Mitre at Rosario.
" The first section of the railway from Ascension
(the capital of Paraguay) to Villa Rica was opened
this month. The line, when finished, will be 90
miles in length."

THE 4TH OF JULY.

I was amused the other day to see it stated that
the 4th of July was a date abhorred in Great Bri-
tain, and that it was always rankling in the heart of
Albion from infancy to extremest old age. It is a
pity to say, but it is true, that 99 out of 100 inhabi-
tants of the Islas are in the profoundest ignorance
of any particular event convected with that day, as
much so, perhaps, as is Young America of the me-
mories of the sth of November. We know more
about Brennus than we do of Madison, and there
are crowds of respectable, well-informed English-
men, not ignorant of history, who could not for the
lives of them tell who Alexander Hamilton—l do
not allude to the late excellent representative of
Trinity College—was, or throw the smallest light
on the career and actions of Edmund Randolph,
and other shining beacons of liberty, although they
could discriminate nicely the characters of the two
Gracchi, and have sound views respecting the causes
of the fall of Sejanus.

KING COTTON.

Already there is talk of raising a foreign loan to
make up the difference between the sum authorised
by Congress and the loan of the banks plus the
Treasury notes—an amount of some seventy or
eighty millions of dollars. Squeaks of distress also
come from Mr. Memminger down South. King Cot-
ton has no Midas-gift, unless he can get out of pri-
son. When I was down South I ventured to assure
gentlemen at Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Moutgo-
mery, and New Orleans that the British Empire did
not exist by and for cotton, and that England would
not break the blockade, no matter how great her
necessities, so long as it was maintained in accordance
with international law ; and I remember well the
' air of compassion with which these statements were
received, and the " Oh ! I'm sure you believe it.
But we—we know John Bull well—a very good
fellow, but he must have his cotton by fair means or
foul ; without it your whole system will break to
pieces. We have the cotton, and we can just dic-
tate terms." The delusion was equally strong in
the North. But the scales are beginning to fall
from their eyes.
London, England, 1861-11-20

THE UNITED STATES ARMY:

It may be safely calculated that there are
75,000 or 80,000 Irishmen, or men of immeMate
Irish origin, in the service of the United States, and
there are upwards of 60,000 Germans, and several
thousands of other nationalities. On Friday even-
ing last I stopped to speak to some men on duty at
the end of the Chain-bridge; the sergeant of the
guard was an Englishman, who had served in the
Royal Marines—young, active, and intelligent ; the
second man had been a private in her Majesty's 31st,
the third had belonged to the 88th, and had lost a
finger in the Crimea—a pretty fair proportion of
foreigners out of five or six men. Now and then
the eye catches in the rank the Crimean or Indian
medal, and even the well-known riband of the
Legion of Honour. All nationalities are repre-
sented in this army, as well as all religions. The
Jews have rushed into the field ; but, less fortu-
nate than the members of other religious bodies,
they cannot have their chaplains, apparently be-
cause it never entered into the contemplation of the
lawmakers that a sprinkling of Israelites, like those
in the Cameron Dragoons, would come forward,
sword in hand, for the Union ; and the Secre-
tary of War was accordingly obliged to refuse
the application of a rabbi for a chaplaincy, which
there is some reason to think was intended
as a hoax of no very perceptible fun or tendency.

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.— The recent heavy
gales have unfavourably affected the herring fishery off
Lowestoft and Yarmouth. The deliveries during the last
week have been greatly reduced at Yarmouth, and prices
have ranged at from £l4 to £25 per last for fresh fish, and
at from £ll to £l5 per last for salted herrings. As regards
the export to the 3lediterranean, another vessel has left
Yarmouth for Genoa with 2,400 barrels on board. The
quality of the fish landed has been good. Much damage

GENERAL FREMONT.

Although the rumours and assertions respecting
General Fr3mont's dismissal have been in men's
mouths for the last month, it is only at the pre-
sent moment they arc fully believed, and now it
remains to be seen whether the West and the
extreme Abolitionists will accept with a good grace
the sacrifice of their idol to the Union. In the
State of New York there are threats of a Mass
Convention for the adoption of the Fremont policy ;
and if it be held there will be a fair test of the
strength of the emancipation party in that State.
The warmest supporters of General Fremont must
admit he took the field in the Cambyses vein, and
that his march was rather that of Louis the Great
going forth to sit down before a beleaguered city
than of a plain General of an unostentatious repub-
lic, which delights in informalities and even refuses
uniforms to its diplomatic representatives. A direc-
tor of music and an adlatus ! a body guard, a staff
large enough for an Imperial army !—these were
weaknesses which had been turned with effect
against the flanks of the Administrator-General of
Missouri. In a second letter Colonel Frank Blair
has covered his quondam friend with sarcastic
ridicule, availing himself of an unfortunate allusion
to General Lyon in a local paper to compare the
parade, the performances, and the means of the pre-
sent leader of the Republican forces with those of
the General whose successes were only arrested by
his repulse and death near Springfield. Although
the mandate is said to have gone forth, we have not
received the news as yet of General Hunter having
taken the command out of the hands of his chief,
and if General Fremont can but fight and win a
battle the policy of removing him may be attended
with difficulty, and even with danger, to the Govern-
ment in the Western States.

THE ARM},

On the recommendation of a Board of Commis-
sioners of Chelsea Hospital, which has been sitting
at Chatham, under the presidency of Dr. Muir,
C. 8., Inspector-General, for the inspection of the
time-,xpired men and invalid troops forwarded to
that garrison from the home and foreign stations, a
further discharge of 163 non-commissioned officers
and privates, of different cavalry and infantry corps,
is ordered to be made to-morrow from the invalid
establishment, St. Mary's Barracks. Each of the
men discharged will be given a railway pass to the
town to which he proceeds, which will convey him
to his destination free of any expense. Under the
new War-office regulations each man's claim is to
be settled before he quits the invalid depot.
Yesterday the battalion of Royal Marine Light
Infantry forming the Chatham division was drawn
up on its parade-ground, and, after inspection by
Light.-Col. W. 11. March, the entire division was
marched some distance into the open country, re-
turning to their quarters shortly before 2 o'clock.
In order to keep up the physical training of the
officers and men the battalion will take marching
out exercise on stated days in each week during the
winter.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A somewhat increased supply of English wheat was an
sale hero to-day. Although the demand was not to say
active, the trade ruled firm, and Monday's quotations were
well supported.
The show of samples of modern wheat was moderately
extensive. Importers were firm in their demands, and all
descriptions were held at fully previous rates. The amount
of business transacted, however, was by no means large.
Floating cargoes of grain were in very moderate request,
at late quotations.
The trade for barley was in a sluggish state, at previous
currencies.
Fiue new malt sold steadily, at full prices, but other kinds
were a dull inquiry.
Oats moved off slowly, yet good and fine corn ruled firm
in value. The supply on offer was tolerably large.
Beans and peas fully snpported previous rates, the show
of samples being small.
The flour trade was steady, and prices were maintained.l

that could have been conferred on her, occurring, as
it did, at the most opportune moment. It was only
in the middle of last year that we had an immense
stock of raw cotton at home, and there were several
millions sterling of deficiency in its value in the
market here over its cost, and considerable appre-
hension existed as to how that deficiency would be
met. All markets were overstocked with our manu-
factured goods, and the Indian market swamped by
enormous shipments, far in excess of any possible
requirements under the most favourable circum-
stances ; but such shipments, made in a year of fa-
mine, when a great number of her people had not
the means to purchase food, far less, to them, the
luxury of English cloth, seemed insanity. So com-
pletely was that market overdone that, although
there had been a considerable reduction in shipments
for this year, the stocks there were so large that it
is only the latest advices that report any material
improvement in prices.
" Every one must deplore the extent to which the
working of short time has diminished wages, en-
croaching on the slender comforts and even neces-
saries of life, of the working classes; nevertheless,
looking at the whole of the cotton trade for last
year, it appears a fact, that, had the American sup-
ply come forward as usual, the state of affairs in
South Lancashire must have been far more disas-
trous, and a much greater number of hands thrown
ovt of employment than in all probability there
will be under the existing state of matters for next
year. " J. T. M."
