ONE Day LITER.
The New York papers furnish with the fol-
lowing extracts from London Journals OF the even
ing of the 18Th.
LONDON, Aug. live copy the following
paragraph from the Cork Constitution, of Thurs
day We think il extremely probable that just such
fate awaits the ll-dige-ted body referred 10. Three
weeks ago, we said - we look forward to the
speedy dissolution OF the ricketty bantlng.' 1t is
obviously failure No one in ireland even appears
TO care about the new Catholic Association; and in
England, if persons inquire about it. they do so in
the same way they would ask after one OF the new
Steam Companies, just ascertain whether it still
kept its head above water.
ss Dissolution of the .Netc Roman Catholic
'.dssociafion-A meeting was held Oh Saturday at
the Corn Exchange, but in consequence OF the alb
sence OF the Barsters Circuit, the oratory was
of minor cast; and the whole went off as taniely
as could be wished by the most staunch friends to
social order The only thing worthy of observa-
ton is the notice of pos,ponement OF their meet
ings to the 9Th Nov. next, which il IL currently and
confidently rumoured, is the preliminary to its final
dissolution"
We have now before US the official ordinance Of
the King of France, declaring the full and entire n-
dependence of the Government OF st. Domingo. 1t
is curious document, and, like the Commonwea
of Gonzales, - the latter end of it forge,s the be-
ginning" In fact, the anxiety TO assert in theory
what was renounced in practice, or, III other words
10 unite substantive act of authority with the
phantom of it, has led TO whimsical tumble in the
pCt Inns fore
it begins with ordaining that the ports of the French
part of ST. Domingo open TO the commerce of
all nations, if it really depended on tie will of
France what ships should be allowed to visit the
ports of ITS former colony. 1t is in this way that
the principle OF legitimate sovereignty is supposed
TO be maintained; principle whose " dignity" as
we learn from the Etoie, would have been compro-
missed by negotiating treaty with the Haytien Go
vernmeni, as we did with the United States, when
we acknowledged their independence. Well-be
it so. Tie manner of the thing does not sigaif,
much when the end sought Is ehectually secured
We confess, however, there is looseness in the
wording oil this Contract, which, If France could
ever have a motive to recede from il hereafter,
would seem to afford her the opportunity. We
grant,, says the Ordinance, '' to the actual nhab-
tants of the French part of the Island OF ST. Domingo
the full and entire Independence of their govern
ment." This is more like bargain which gives a
life interest only to the parties in whose favour it
is made than a solemn and unconditional surrender
OF sovereignty, now and for Circumstances,
we grant, make the act final and secure, it
could be rendered by the most precise TERMS besides
which the honour and good faith of the French ma
ton pledged to the real purport of the trans
action. Courier.

The Allgemeine Zeitung, received this morning
to the 9Th inst contains intelligence relative to the
war betw the Greeks and Turks the greater part
of which seems TO confirm the reported capture of
Ibrahim Pacha All the principal facts have reached
as by other channels, at various periods during the
last fortnight 1t appears, that the late dispatches
from Constaniinople were wholly silent respecting

We have been favored with the following letter
dated LIVERPOOL, August ~, 1925.
We regret to say that another extensive house in
the American trade suspended payment yesterday,
and which little damps the cotton market for the
present. 1t is said, however, that good deal oil
cotton will in consequence OF these failures be lock-
ed up from the market for some time, owing to Sc
vefal causes-want of orders to sell in cases,
and in others The ntricacy OF the accounts, and al
the hope that delay may obtain better pri-
ces, and enable the parties make more satsfac-
tory arrangement for their creditors. The market
may possibly under these circumstances remain stea-
dy but the state of commercial affairs here is SUCH
that we not sanguine of any amendment The
sales OF the three days of this week about $500
bales, but those of yesterday were but 1000, after
the failure known.

Editors of the Boston Patriot; and by the following
extracts from them, it will be painful to readers
TO perceive that citizens of the u. States cbarg

brutal traffic, the African Slave Trade; and that too
