The packet ship Roscoe arrived at New
York on the 2Sh inst bringing London
papers to the 9th February and Liverpool
to the 28lh.
The only news received in England from
the United States referring to our border
disturbances was the fact that Governor
Fairfield had communicated a message 10
the Legislature of this State upon the sub
iect OF the uesspassers and the lumber de-
| predations.
Tho London papers contain the imror-
tant Resolutions Of inquiry offered 10 the
House Of Representatives at Washington,
by Mr.. Gushing of Mass, one ofthe Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. These Res
olutions refer to the claims set up by the
British Government beth in the North West
ern and North Eastern part of our Govern
ment, and charge upon the British Cover
ment, if we remember right, indirectly Il
violation of neutrality. The British press
regard these Resolutions as breathing a
spirit gf war, and the London Herald re-
commends that an English Army of obser-
walton on the line would produce the hap
piest consequences on the question of adj
justment.
The affairs Of Canada and the United
States continued to excite considerable at
tention in Parliament. Ike subject was
debated on the 18th Of February in the
House of Lords.
In the course Of an interesting debate
in the House of Commons, upon the Corn
Laws. MIR. Phillips made some interesting
statement showing tho extent to which
British manufactures were rivalied by those
of other misunderstanding this evil to the
INJURIOUS operation of the corn monopoly.
He said
SIN 1894 that branch Of the cotton num-
ufacture with which his constituents were
connected---he meant the cotton spinning
tradc-was manufacture almost unknown
on the continent, and yet tney nau nveu
to see, not only on the continent, but in
the United States OF America, most &C.
tive competition spring up in this article
of trade; and the quantity manufactured IN
the United States was equal TO the whole
of the manufacture in this kingdom at
very late period. He would call to the
recollections Of hon. members this clrcuin-
stance, that there was at present town in
existence, within 25 miles Of Boston, one
of the most important American manutac-
turing districts, where the power employed
in the manufacture of cotton was equal 10
5000 horses, and was now N active opera
ton; and not merely for the purpose of
supplying the American markets, but for
competing with, and beating the British IN
foreign markets.
i" This was place where, IA or l5 years
ago, not a soul was to be found; it was
new manufacturing district, ard supplied
first of all the American markets which
used formerly to be imported from Eng land
and secondly, was assisting to displace the
British manufacturer from other markets.
Hear, hear) The hon. member for
Wolvcrhampton had correctly stated that
the American manufacturers were not only
in the habit Of supplying their home mark
cts, but came also in competition with the
British in Mexico, in the ports on the East
ern coast of South America, and in the
markets round Cape Horn, and on the
western coast; and when he mentioned tat
the new created American town which he
had already mentioned, consumed annually
40 ,0GO bags of cotton, he thought the house
would feel convinced by that instance of
The formidable nature Of the rivalshp of
the United States. The Americans were,
in fact, beating the British in the remotest
market which the latter posscssed-the
market of China; and it vas an acknowl-
edge fact, that in 1884 the Americans sent
out to Canton 1866 600 yards ofco!tcn man.
u:actured goods. in Calcutta, too, in
spite Of the protection which the British
manufacturer received of 10 per cent he
was competed with, and successfully, by
his American rival. (Hear, hear) "Ee
would direct the attention of the house TO
another important fact connected with the
rivalry of the United Stales.--Many OF he
most recent improvements IL the cotton
spinning trade were American Inventions
The patent rights were mostly held by
Americans, and were disposed Of to manu-
facturcrs On the Continent"
