Thus during the last three years India has taken more
than four times the quantity of our manufactured goods
taken by any other country in the world—the United
States not excepted—and about one-third of our entire
export of cotton goods to all countries. Look again at the
value of our exports of cotton goods to India during the
same period :

Hero we have lemonstration sufficient to convince

most obstinate opponent of Indian progress. In three
years we have exported, in cotton goods alone, to India
nearly n 2,000,000 worth, out of £109,000,000 to all the
world, or one. third of our entire exports of cotton goods for
the last three years have been consumed in India.

If Manchester does but her part, in return for
such a splendid trade as this, she will be doubly
benefited. She will provide herself with a source
of supply which will become better and better every
year, as railroads and canals are opened ; and she
will increase the means of India to purchase her
manufactures in return.

CABINET COUNClL.—Summonses have been issued
for a Cabinet Council on Wednesday next, at the official
residence of the First Lord of the Treasury, in Downing-
street.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—Viscount Palmer-
ston has deferred his departure from Broadlands until Mon-
day next, when` his lordship will be accompanied to town by
Lady Palmerston. Earl Granville, the lord President of
the Council, arrived in Bruton-street yesterday from visit-
ing the Earl and Countess Spencer, at Althorpe
Northampton. The Duke of Newcastle comes to town on
Tuesday next from Clumber-parkPlotts. The Lord Chan,
cellor is expected to arrive at Stratheden-house, Knights-
bridge, early in the ensuing week from the Isle of Wight.
The noble and learned will entertain the judges and leading
members of the bar on Monday, the 15th inst., the first day
of Easter Term.
THE VENETIAN QUESTION.—The Independance
Beige quotes advices from Vienna, to the effect that within
the last few days the French ambassador, the Marquis de
Moustier, has had, in virtue of his secret instructions,
some confidential interviews with Count de Rechberg,
on the subject of a new' plan of settlement with re-
spect to Venetia. France will support an arrangement
having for its object the cession of Venetia to the
Italian kingdom, in consideration of a territorial com-
pensation. "It is not said," observes the _lndependence,
" in the circles where this rumour is credited, whether it is
upon the Lower Danube or upon the Adriatic that this
compensation is to be fund, or upon both, It is believed
that this project will obtain the consent of the Hungarian
party. France will guarantee not only the territorial com-
pensation to Austria, but also the future attitude of Italy,
between which country and Austria she would exert her-
self to bring about an understanding, and perhaps even an
alliance."
THE COLNE STRIKE BALANCE•SHEET.—CURIOUS
REVELATIONS.—The 44th weekly report and balance-sheet
of this strike has been issued, and it shows a great falling
off in the subscriptions, although the "income" and "ex-
penditure" are balanced with an apparent surplus in hand
of £l3 lls. 11d., against £8 10s. 10d. last week. The sub-
scriptions raised in Blackburn last week amount to £ll5.
to which £lOO has been added from the reserve fund, and
of this £215, £153 has been sent to Colne. After other
payments of small amount, there is a balance in hand of
£45, and the amount " due to the reserve fund," which
hag been drawn on to make up deficiencies during the re-
cent agitation, is now £5OB. An earnest appeal is made
that t' all mills will come up with their levy this week."
The subscription raised in Accrington amounts to £l3
9s. Bd., of which £4 10s. was sent to Colne and £4 10s.
to Clitheroc, but in the general summary of contributions
to Colne, Accrington receives the credit of sending £l3 55.,
and it would appear that Accrington also has had to draw
on the " reserve" fund to the extent of £l6. The amount
raised in Padiham last week was £2O 7s. 9d., and after taking
£6 14s. Bd. from the reserve fund £2.5 is put down as sent to
Colne, but in the general summary of Colne contributions
Padiham gets the credit of sending. £45. The amount raised
in Preston last week was £32125. Bd., and after paying cer-
tain expenses £26 is put down as sent to Colne, which leaves
a balance in hand of 20s. But in the general summary of
contributions to Cohn Preston is put down as sending £123.
The subscriptions raised in Haslingden amount to £l5, of
which £l3 is sent to Colne, but in the general summary
Haslingden is put down as sending £23. The income of the
week thus made up amounts to £537, and the expenditure to
£532. Darwen has ceased to contribute to the strike,•which
is a decrease of £6O per week.

EV. MR. BONWELL'S CASE.—There are
several misapprehensions afloat in reference to the case of
the Rev. James Bonwell, incumbent of St. Philip's, Step-
ney, and the position he occupies ecclesiastically. The rev
gentleman has not been suspended, but has merely been in-
hibited from the performance of clerical duty in his parish.
All his legal rights in the parish remain untouched, and will
remain so until he obtain a judgment from the Judicial Com-
mittee of Privy Council. It is also a mistake to suppose that
the sentence of deprivation which the Dean of Arches passed
upon him amounts to a deprivation from holy orders ; such a
judgment is quite beyond the poTer of the Court. AlthoUgh
so long a time has elapsed the case is by no means ripe for
being submitted to the Judicial Committee of Privy
Council, to whom Mr. Bonwell has given notice of appeal
from the decision of Dr. Lushington. On Wednesday, the
17th of April, Mr. Bonwell will have to appear once more
before the Court of Arches, to put in his proofs, and even
then some time must elapse, owing to the multitudinous
technical forms of the court, before a day can be assigned for
further hearing; so that it is not likely that the question
can be submitted to the Judicial Committee of Privy Coun-
cil until after the long vacation—that is towards the close of
the year. Meanwhile the Rev. J. G. H. Hill, M.A. of Em-
manuel College, Cambridge, will remain in sole chairge of
the parish of St. Philip under the license of the Bishop of
London. Seine legal points of great importance affecting
the validity of the judgment of the Court of Arches will be
submitted to the Judicial Committee. One contention of
Mr. Bonwell is, that the Dean of Arches has no power to
pronounce a judgment of deprivation on a clergyman, and
that the bishop himself ought to perform that duty after
the hearing of the case before the Court. This omission,
it will be argued, is fatal to the judgment which the Court
of Arches pronounced. If Mr. Bonwell is successful on
this point, the judgment of the Court below will be quashed,
and he will retain possession of his living. In the event of
his failing to support his position, the living will be de.
Blared vacant, and the principal and fellows of Brasenose
College, Oxford, Li whom the patronage rests, will be called
upon to nominate a successor.

COMMITTAL OF COLLIERS FOR CONSPIRACY AND
INTIMIDATION.—Yesterday (Friday), seven men, named
William Peel, Joseph and George Beaumont, John Scaife,
Jesse Gooder, Joseph Kilimr, and Mattthias Ramsden,
were , brought up at the Barnsley Court House, before
T. Taylor, Esq., and Colonel Daly, on remand, charged
with conspiracy and intimidation. The case had pre-
viously occupied two days. The facts of the case are as
follows :—The men at Woolly being dissatisfied with the
proprietors' proposal to adjust the wages, gave notice
and left. The proprietors thereupon sent into Stafford-
shire and engaged 72 men to fill their placesi They
arrived on tne 24th of March, and on reaching the colliery
found a considerable number of the old hands in a planta-
tion close to it, shouting and beckoning to the new hands.
They then got them to fraternise, and on the following
morning took them to Barnsley, and paid ,their fares to
different places on the road to Staffordshire. After a vast
amount of evidence, the bench came to the conclusion,
