E TING for the REPEAL of the
DUTY ON COTTON WOOL.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—A special general meet-
ing of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and
Manufactures, was held in the large room of the offices
of that body, in this town, at eleven o'clock this morn-
ing, Mr. T. Bazley, in the chair, for the purpose of
takingginto consideration the propriety of memorialising
the Government for the repeal of the duty on cotton
wool. About sixty of the most opulent and most influ-
ential gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood were
present, and amongst those who confined themselves to
voting for the several resolutions, and consequently did
not address the meeting, was Mr. R. Cobden, M.P.
The CHAIRMAN, having shortly stated the object of
the meeting, in calling which, he observed, the directors
had exercised sound discretion, proceeded to congratu-
late his auditory on the number of all parties exten-
sively engaged in the cotton trade, who had met there
in harmony, to take into consideration a question in
which a great national interest was involved—namely,
the tax on cotton-wool, which was a most oppressive
burden to the country and a bounty to their foreign
rivals. If, he said, a new material could be found by
which industry could be employed, and those engaged
in that employ might be raised from poverty to affluence,
the Legislature that would repress such advantage by
taxation would be thought highly reprehensible ; and
such was the fact with reference to the present impost.
He dwelt at some length on the vast importance of the
cotton trade, and showed the immense increase derived
from it by the revenue, by tracing the amount received
by the Customs in the port of Liverpool alone from
100,0001. to 4,000,000/., to which it had now reached,
but it had become stationary at that point, consequent
upon the excessive duties. He referred to the large
amount of skill and capital devoted to the promotion of
the cotton trade, from the inventions of Crompton to the
present time ; and, in illustration of the formidable
rivalry growing up in America, read the following com-
munication, which he had received from a gentleman on
the subject :
" The cotton manufacturers of the United States are
extending themselves in every direction. The same
spirit of enterprise that completed the work at Lowell
some twenty years ago, has found its way to the south
and the west. In the vicinity of St. Louis there is a
manufactory in process of erection ; also one in the
neighbourhood of Tallahassee, Florda. In Arkansas
one of an extensive scale has been established ; and at
Natchez a cotton and wool factory is now in operation.
In South Carolina, several manufactories have been for
some time in the full tide of successful experiment. The
New England manufacturers are unusually active, and
will be through the season."
With respect to another part of the subject, ho cited an
opinion to the effect—" That the goods we manufacture
are mostly similar in fabrics to those made by the Ame-
ricans, end intended for shipment to the same markets,
such as Brazil, Mexico, South America, and latterly
China. They consist of heavy plain domestics, stout
grey drillings, also dyed and bleached, grey and blue-
striped drillings, &c., all of which are made from coarse
yarn. The duty upon cotton-wool, such as we use,
amounts to eleven per cent. ; and, after being made into
goods, to fire per cent. upon their value. The English
manufacturer is driven out of the market by sheer
necessity, to relinquish the field to the Americans." He
next said, that previous to the submission of any resolu-
tion on the subject, he would read the memorial which
had been prepared for the occasion ; and he proceeded
to the following effect :
" TO TIIE LORDS OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY.
" The members of the Manchester Chamber of Com-
merce and Manufactures, in special general meeting as-
sembled, respectfully approach your Lordships upon a
subject of vital importance to the trade and commerce
carried on in the article of cotton.
" The vast number of artisans and labourers profitably
employed in the cotton trade—the extensive sunk and
floating capital embarked in it, together with the skill,
energy, and enterprise, by which it is conducted, estab-
lish for it a national interest and importance ; this
branch of our industry supplying more than half of all
the exported produce and manufactures of the United
Kingdom, as shown by the returns made to the House of
Commons, 15th February, 1844. That such a raw
material as cotton-wool, which is of necessity an exotic,
and which has become indispensable to the employment
and existence of multitudes of our workpeople, should
be subject to the imposition of an import tax, will pro-
bably hereafter be regarded as one of those delusions in
fiscal regulation which have retarded the progress of,
and been injurious to, tho interests of our country. The
tax upon raw cotton has, however, been wisely depre-
cated by the most distinguished statesmen of modern
times, and promises from them of its ultimate extinction
are on record. If there be a principle of economy which
is now universally received, it is that which recognises
the right of exemption from fiscal taxes all those raw
materials whereby the labouring classes may earn their
subsistence ; and in conformity with this humane and just
principle, the duty on sheep's wool was abandoned in the
last session of Parliament, the duty upon flax having
been abandoned several years ago. And in all articles
of export it has been deemed so unjust to tax the mate-
rials contributing to their manufacture, that it has been
the general practice to grant drawbacks for the return
of duties exacted in their production as in the cases of
soap, salt, and starch ; and in the glass end other trades
the duties levied are always returned on exports : yet
in the article of raw cotton, about six-sevenths of the
manufactured produce of which are exported, there is
no return of the tax. Your Lordships need not be re-
minded that the treasury of our country will always de-
rive more benefit from the profitable employment of the
people at large, than from fiscal exactions upon the raw
materials on which their labour is expended.
" Your memorialists, being deeply imbued with the im-
policy and injustice of the tax upon cotton-wool, proceed
to call the attention of your Lordships to the following
facts and reasons, which they urge in now seeking the
repeal of this obnoxious tax. Though the cotton tax
upon even American and other foreign cottons appears
small, in being only 5-16ths of id. per pound, it is in rea-
lity a heavy impost ; and when compared with the cost
of cotton in American ports, it will be found that this tax
alone now increases to the British cotton spinner the cost
of his raw material to the extent of 10 per cent; for at
the present time the price of middling cotton of the
class most largely in consumption is aid. per pound in
New Orleans, 5-16ths thereon being exactly 10 percent.;
but the American spinner possesses the convenience of
contiguity to the markets of the cotton planters ; and in
freight by the difference in distance, in the saving of
time, and in other diminished charges, a further advan-
tage is secured to him of not less than 7-16ths per pound,
thus making the disadvantages of the British spinner, as
contrasted with the American, into 24 per cent., and
which, upon all the American cotton used in Great Bri-
tain, will amount, according to last year's consumption,
to upwards of a million and a half sterling, clearly esta-
blishing advantages in competition against this country,
which neither ought to be, nor ever can be, permanently
sustained.

CHEAP LIGHT.
EDWARD PRICE and CO., Patentees and Sole
Manufacturers of the COMPOSITE CANDLES, respectfully
call the attention of the Public to the fact, that, although the price of
these is somewhat higher than that of ordinary mould Candles, they
are in reality much cheaper than these latter; ono real Composite
Candle giving about the same quantity of light as three of the moulds.
They require no snuffing, and burn more brilliantly than the best
wax. The purposes of economy and luxury aro therefore both served
at the same time by the use of these Candles. Parties intending to
try them for the first time, are earnestly requested to take care that
they are served in the sleeps with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES:"
the reason for this caution Is given elsewhere.

They are sold by most of the respectable tallow chandlers through-
out the kingdom, and wholesale to the trade by Edward Price and
Co., Belmont, Vauxhall; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell.

THE QUEEN AT BURLEIGH.
On Thursday afternoon, after the royal party and
guests had lunched, the Queen paid a visit to the town
of Stamford, very much to the surprise as well as the
delight of the good people of the place, who had many
of them begun to give up the hope of seeing her Majesty
during her stay. At two o'clock in the afternoon the
Mayor received an official intimation from the Marquis
of Exeter, that it was her Majesty's gracious intention
to pass through the principal streets of the town soon
after three o'clock. In an incredibly short space of time
the whole place became a scene of great excitement,
crowds of people assembling in the streets, and thronging
the windows along the line through which her Majesty
was to pass ; the houses became decorated with ever-
greens and banners, as if by magic, and the whole place
presented a very gay and animated appearance. Ar-
rangements were at once made by the authorities for the
prevention of confusion, by the appointment of special
constables to keep the line in the streets. The carriages
left the mansion at a quarter to three. Her Majesty
and the Prince, together with Lord and Lady Exeter,
were in the first carriage ; and Sir Robert Peel, Lord
Delawarr, Lady Portman, and the Maid of Honour were
in the second. In a third were Lady Middleton and
Lady Sophia Cecil. The carriages were preceded by
two of Lord Exeter's servants in livery, and followed by
a considerable number of gentlemen on horseback, many
of them tenants of the Marquis, who formed a sort of
escort. The reception given to her Majesty in Stamford
was most enthusiastic—indeed, it could not have been
possible for the people to exhibit more warmly their
loyalty and affection. The cheers throughout her pro- 1
gress were deafening. Her Majesty appeared in excel-
lent health and spirits. She frequently laughed heartily
at the scamperings of the people.
The royal party proceeded down St. Martin's and
across the bridge (which, by the way, is so narrow as
almost to be a discredit to so large a town), until they
came opposite the Town-hall. Here a vast number of
people lined the street on either side, and the windows
were crowded with ladies. Passing through St. Mary's,
the carriages turned off to the left into high-street, and
on to the western entrance of the Infirmary. They
returned through St. Paul's-street, Ironmonger-street,
Broad-street, and lied Lion-square, and back again
through St. Martin's. Having reached the boundary of
the town, they went on to Wothorpe, a village a short
distance from Stamford, where there are some ruins of a
seat of the Burleigh family. Hero the royal party
alighted for some time, and saw the Marquis of Exeter's
establishment of young horses, which her Majesty much
admired. On their return to Burleigh, her Majesty and
the Prince inspected the Noble Marquis's stock of cattle,
which were brought to the side of the road in the park
by which the royal party returned to Burleigh. They
are considered to be of very tine breed, and her Majesty
and the Prince both much admired them. The Prince
had seen them in the morning. On their return from
Stamford her Majesty and the Prince each planted a
tree opposite the south side of the mansion. The Queen
planted an oak, and the Prince a lime tree. The
Queen's tree was planted near to a great lime, which
was planted by Queen Elizabeth, on the occasion of her
visit to Burleigh.

During the morning the Prince had been out shooting,
accompanied by Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, the Mar-
quis of Granby, and the Marquis of Salisbury. Mr. An-
son also accompanied the Prince, but neither ho nor the
Marquis of Granby were among the sportsmea. The
Prince shot 45 pheasants, 56 hares, and 10 rabbits. Al-
together there were 275 head of game shot.
In the evening, before dinner, the Mayor of Stamford,
Lieutenant Haycock, R.N., presented the address from
the corporation and inhabitants of the town, which her
Majesty was pleased to accept most graciously. The
Mayor of Northampton, Mr. I3arwell, who was among
the guests invited to the ball, came over early in the
evening with a present for the Prince of a pair of very
handsome Wellington boots, as a sample of the staple
manufacture of the town. They were left with Mr. An-
son, his Royal Highness having signified his wish to ac-
cept them. In the course of the evening Mr. Barwell
was presented to her Majesty by the Marquis of Exeter.
Her Majesty received Mr. Barwell very graciously; and
Prince Albert afterwards entered into conversation with
him for a fow moments, during which he informed him
that her Majesty had received very great pleasure from
bur reception at Northampton. It was also intimated to
Mr. Barwell that her Majesty would proceed through
Northampton at a walking pace on her return towards
Weedon.

The dinner was ordered half an hour earlier than
usual, as there was to be a ball in the evening. Her
Majesty entered the dining-room at a quarter to eight
o'clock. The following formed the dinner party :—Her
Majesty, the Prince, and the royal suite ; the Marquis
and Marchioness of Exeter, Sir Robert Peel, the Marquis
of Salisbury, the Marquis of Granby, the Earl of Aber-
deen, Earl Delawarr and Lady Mary West, Lord
Burleigh, Viscount and Lady Hood, Lord Milton, Mr.
Fitzwilliam, Lord Brooke, Lord Lovaine, Lord Thomas
and Lady Sophia Cecil, Lord and Lady Charles Welles-
ley, Lord and Lady Lilford, Sir James Graham, Captain
and Mrs. Spencer, Mr. Pierrepont, Sir George Clerk, Sir
William and Lady Middleton, and the Rev. Mr. Atlay.
The usual toasts were given during dinner, and her
Majesty retired from the dining-hall at ten minutes
past nine.

FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
FOREIGN-OFFICE, Nov. 11, 1844.
The Queen has been pleased to approve of Mr. Joel
W. White, as Consul at Liverpool for the United States
of America.
DECLARATION OF INSOLVENCY.
THOMAS SHERWOOD, brick makes, Tilehurst,
Berkshire.

Since the close of the great European war in 1815,
the tendency to enter into the pacific pursuits of trade
has been evident on the part of every civilised nation ;
but the extension of the cotton trade in the United
States of America is the most extraordinary, as the
spinners of that country are now consumers of cotton
to a greater extent than were the British in 1815: there-
fore this rapid progress has become evidence to which
your memorialists refer, that foreign competition may
possibly arise to a ruinous extent; and, as history shows
that trade driveit from a country rarely returns, it pluiul.y
behoves those who control the destinies of our land to
consider whether the very existence of the cotton trade in
it be not alarmingly endangered by retaining an oppres-
sive tax upon the raw material of so important and be-
neficial a trade. Foreign competition has, however,
already been increased by the free exportation of British
machinery ; and so formidable are the indications of in-
creased competition, with the very same implements
which are used in this country, that if there were no
other reason for the repeal of the cotton tax, this alone
would be sufficient to render it imperatively requisite.
" That the cotton tax operates unfavourably in re-
stricting the employment, and to some extent in diminish-
ing the wages, of the workpeople, may be assumed from
the exorbitant per centage which the duty bears upon
the labourers' wages. Upon the coarsest heavy yarns
produced the duty of five-sixteenths of Id. upon Ame-
rican cotton amounts to fifty per cent. upon the producing
wages ; upon the labour employed in spinning yarns for
domestic goods the duty is from thirty to forty-five per
cent. upon the wages ; upon the yarns spun for printed
calicoes the duty amounts to twenty-five per cent. upon
the wages ; and for ordinary muslin upon the yarns
spun, the duty becomes only ten per cent. of the wages
of labour ; whilst upon the finest lace yarns, which are
produced in limited quantities, the fraction of duty upon
the wages of labour is almost inappreciable.

" As in juxtaposition the tax upon raw cotton, when
compared with wages, is most grievous and oppressive
in the coarsest yarns spun, so that the consumption and
weaving of manufactured cotton goods, this tax presses
with the most unjust severity upon our own working
classes, and upon the least wealthy members of the
community. . _

" Your -memorialists, therefore, submit to your Lord-
ships, that the tax upon: cotton-wool, whether it be
viewed on the broad principle of national interest and
justice, or as injurious to the well-being of important
sections of the community engaged in the cotton trade,
it will be found to be an impolitic, unwise, and suicidal
tax, and ought to be forthwith repealed ; to promote which
your memorialists pray your Lordships' powerful aid."
The speakers on the occasion, besides the President,
were Mr. Ashton, Mr. Houldsworth, Mr. Bright, &c.
The latter lion. Member protested against the imposi-
tion or retention of any tax whatever, and said it was
their business to get the taxes off, leaving tip Tho Ministf.•

by the side of the Queen. The chairs were of blue and
silver, and were raised upon a dais about eight feet long.

Lady Mary West. Lord Burleigh and Sir Rober
Gunning wera in the first quadrille. Dancing then corn..
meneedgener.dly, and was kept up till a late hour. Her
Majesty and the Priece retired at half-past eleven to the
supper-room, where they remained a few minutes.
On Friday morning her Majesty, Prince Albert, and
the suite left Burleigh at half-past nine o'clock, on their
return to London. Her Majesty had previously taken
leave of the Marchioness of Exeter and the rest of the
family. The Marquis accompanied her Majesty on
horseback one stage, and then went on in his carriage to
be ready to receive her Majesty at Weedon.
As the royal party passed through the park and round
that portion of St. Martin's, in Stamford, through which
their route lay, they were greeted with loud cheers by
crowds of the inhabitants who had assembled to witness
the departure.
All along the route from Stamford to Kettering the
same demonstrations of loyalty and affection were mule
by the people as on her Majesty's journey down. The
triumphal arches had all remained up, and the houses
were very gaily decorated with flags, evergreens, &c.
The royal party changed horses at the same stages as
on their journey down.
At Kettering also there was a great demonstration by
the people. here the royal party passed one of the car-
rite-res containing her Majesty's dressers, who had pre-
ceded her from Burleigh, but had been stopped at a short
distance from Kettering by their horses (post horses)
being so utterly worn out with fatigue as to be unable to
proceed a step further. Every horse for miles round
having been bespoken, other horses could not be ob-
tained, and it will be seen that this circumstance was the
cause subsequently of a very inconvenient delay to her
Majesty at Weedon.

At Northampton her Majesty was received by the
mayor and corporation and a procession of the town-
•rades, in the same manner as on her journey clown.
They preceded the royal carriages as they went at a
Balking pace through the town.
At the town and station of Weedon great numbers of
people had collected. The military (47th Foot) lined
the road, and there was a guard of honour (of the 47th)
under the command of Captain Gordon. The Marquis
of Exeter, who had arrived previously, and Sir Henry
Dryden, the High Sheriff of the county, were at the
station to receive her Majesty.
At a quarter past two the approach of het Majesty
to the station was announced by the eleration of the
royal standard, and in a few minutes more the royal
party entered the station. Her Majesty and the Prince
went to their apartments. A delay was caused here by
the non-arrival of the carriage that had been stopped at
Kettering. The delay was not only a source of personal
inconvenience to the royal travellers, but it also caused
an interference with the regular passenger trains. Her
Majesty waited till a quarter to three o'clock, when she
determined to go without the carriage ; but, just at this
moment it entered the station, drawn by horses that
)cooked as if they would have dropped had they been
required to proceed another mile. The carriage was at
once attached to the train, and her Majesty entered her
state carriage, accompanied by the Prince. The Prince
shook hands with the Marquis of Exeter, and the train
started, amidst the cheers of the people, at five minutes
to three o'clock. The regular train had not long pre-
ceded it, so that great precaution was required. The
special train, however, came on at a rapid rate, and
reached the Camden-town station at ten minutes past
five o'clock. From here the train was backed, and
turned on the down line, and it reached the Euston
terminus at twenty minutes past five o'clock. Her
Majesty immediately left for Padddington, escorted by
a party of the 17th Lancers.
It was stated that three children had been killed by
the falling of a scaffolding at Northampton. The accident
was not attended with those fatal consequences. The
children are now quite well.

JULLIEN'S CONCERTS at COVENT
GARDEN THEATRE.

M., Jullien commenced his annual series of concerts
at this theatre last evening. It `wild be quite a
misnomer to call the concert of last evening a prome-
nade concert, for such a perfect crush was it, that
anything like promenading was a physical impossi-
bility; and it was not the area of the pit and stage
alone that was crammed —every place in every box
was occupied, anti, long before the commencement of
' the performances, the gallery was filled from the
overflow of the boxes. Never, even on the most
crowded Anti-Corn-law League night, have we seen
Covent-garden more crammed than it was last evening.
We do not wonder at this, for we regret to perceive
that these delightful performances are to continue for
one month only. Notwithstanding the shortness of
the season, M. Jullien has spared no expense
in fitting up the theatre. The promenade, which is
completely carpeted, is most tastefully decorated with
draperies, statues, and flowers, and in the refreshment
room at the back of the stage there is a new and ele-
gant bouffet. Among the solo performers we are
happy to recognise Km.iig, 13aumann, Case, Deloffre,
Richardson, and all the favourites of last season,
while the orchestra, which is full and complete in all
its parts, is led by Tolbecque and Nadaud. Jullien, in
his selection of the programme of last evening, exhibited
his accustomed tact. There was something for every-
body. The dilettanti were delighted by the f=ret
meat in Sphor's magnificent symphony The power
of sound," which was admirably pof.oimed ; while the
unlearned, to whom Sphor's mphony was caviare,
were ii raptures at the orig;.eal Polka and the Eng-
lish Quadrille, both of 'which were vociferously
encored. Learned and unlearned were equally
pleased with the selections from Meyerbeer's
eluf d'oruvre, Robert le Diable, and seemed to
vie with each other in giving expression to their
feelings of delight. This was followed by Herr
licenig's Post-horn Galop, which was, of rse,
loudly encored. The solo performers of the ening
were Mr. Case on the concertina, and Richardson on
the flute, both of which were much applauded. Jul-
lien, as conductor, was of course in all his glory.
We are rejoiced to see him onee more resuming his
baton of conductor on the scene of his former
triumphs, and only regret that his stay amongst us
is to be short.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.—This morning, shortly be-
fore two o'clock, considerable alarm was excited in the
neighbourhood of Finsbury-square, in consequence of
the sudden outbreak of a destructive fire upon the pre-
mises occupied by Mr. Lane, horsehair-worker, carrying
on business at No. 14, Earl-street. Police-constable
' 134 G first discovered the fire through seeing smoke
issuing out of the roof. An alarm having been instantly
raised, the inmates were aroused, and they managed,
after great difficulty, to effect their escape in safety. The
Brigade, parish, and West of England engines promptly
attended, and there being a good supply of water, the
firemen set to work most vigorously ; but whilst they
were pumping the engines, a messenger arrived with
intelligence of another outbreak having occurred ip.
Baldwin-street, City-read. As many of the engines as
could be spared were sent thither, when fiaraes were
seen breaking through the window shutters of No. 80.
Such was the fierce nature of this conflagration, that the
residents had barely time to effect their escape. The
firemen being aided by the police and a good stream of
water, succeeded in the space of an hour in completely
extinguishing both fires. A deal of valuable property,
which was thrown into the streets, was takes charge of
by Mr. Inspector Shackell and his men. Whether or not
the sufferers were insured, we could not learn in the
excitement that prevailed.

BEST MEANS OF EMPLOYING AND BENEFITING THE
WORKING CLASSES.—The following remarks by Mr. M.
Phillips, who has long paid attention to the subject,
merit attention :—" This can only be effected by allow-
ing the labourers to have interest in their native soil,
restoring them to the occupancy of a little land, ena-
bling them by degrees to recover their long lost spirit of
independence, to avoid pauperism, that they may again,
ere long, become a most useful link in the chain of so-
ciety, instead of a burden. The inclosure of waste, or
in better words, common lands—the monopolising of
small farms—the cottage greens, plots of ground, gas dens
and orchards, which have occurred during the last fifty
years, have produced the awful distress now existin,
among the agricultural labourers—millions of whom b, vje been reduced from a state of plenty and happingess:to
