trlcts are encouraging. Goods, at steady ra- tes, ere in request at Manchester; and al- though the last advices from India were less natlerng by the last Overland Mail, the market has been but little influenced by them. In the neighboring districts of ' ork- shire, the Woolen Markets are steady and improving. Indeed, throughout the manu- featuring parts of this and the adjoining county, the prospects of trade continue as as bright as the most ardent man of business could desire.
 REPORT or THE CorToN MARKET, March, 5.--Ouf Cotton market has had a very ami mated appearance since Friday last. Prices have an upward tendency; yet, though i0 some instances an advance of d. per ID. has been realized, We cannot quote the advance as general. On Saturday, that sales amounted to 500 bales, Of which 5000 were to spe- culators; and to-day l2,000 bales changed hands, of which, however, 4000 were also to speculators. The sales to-day comprise 1000 surat, 25d to 3dd, 200 Pornams, 55d 400 Egyptian, sd to 7l1; and the remainder A. merican, 3ld 10 sd.
 GEN. SAUNDERs.-h will be seen from the following letter of Gen. SAUNDERS, that he declines a reelection 10 Congress. No mat ter what has brought hlm 10 this determna- ton, it must be a subject of regret to his district, as IL will be 10 the Democratic party throughout the country. No man has sus- tained the trne doctrines ol the Democratic party with more untiringzeaI and distinguish ed ability.

From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier. THE DISCOVERY IN PRINTING.

Our readers have been informed that an invention, called 'sAnastatc Printing" has been set forth as having been made i'll Eng land, which, should 1t turn out to be any thing like what it is claimed 10 be, will ln- deed prove the most t.wonder.ul discovery of the age" By it, the inventor declares he has the ability to give copies of books, news papers, engravings, &c., in very brief space of time. The process is declared to be re- markedly simple, the operation being to trans fer the impression of type or any print to the surface of a polished plate of zinc, and then to bring 1t out in slight relief to receive the ink, and so to work from it as from the stone of the Photographic press.
 In one of the accounts of this invention, it is stated that the writer having desired CO., py of the page of a newspaper with three il- lustralions on wood, the inventor engraved the page, type, cuts, and all, and gave him six copies in less than ten minutes! the zinc plate thus engraved being capable of produ- cing 10000 impressions, and then of being fe-engraved, ad infnitum. Thus an octayo volume, with wood or steel illustrations to any eXtenty they assert, may be reproduced in two or three days or less, hundreds of thousands struck off, equal in all respects to the original.
 We present what is said about this inycn- lion, as we find il, il is indeed discovery that would be scarcely less in importance than printing itself There would be an in- tire revolution in printing, publishing, stereo- typing and engraving. No limit could be placed to the multiplication of copies of works. It is stated that an agent for the in yention isnow in this country, and supposed that it will not be long before there will be an opportunity to find out whether the won- derful promises of this discovery are what is claimed for it.
 A writer in the Boston Courier states that Mr Dixon, then of Trenton, discovered the art of transferring 10 a blank sheet distinct and complete impressions of printed page and all engraving, and that he made at Boston, in the year 1859, in the presence of Edward Everett, and others, in few minutes, copies of page 524 of SchaaI's Syriac Lexicon, as perfect and beautiful as the original. Subse- quendy, in the presence of many other gen llemen, whose names are. given, lie took many other impressions, and was entirely successful in all his experiments.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE.

The Sentae adjourned to-day at one O. clock, sine die. They have passed upon a great number of ominatons-confrning with very few exceptions, all that were sent 10 them by the President Indeed, the won der is that so few were rejected, considering the vast number of appointments to be made, the hosts of applicants for almost every of flee, aad the very short time which ihe Pre- sdent had to consider the evidence of cha racter and fitness, and 10 settle the compara- tive merit of rival claimants We have sta ted before that the executive has continued in almost constant cabinet session, and the senate i'll executive session, ever since the fourth of March It is conceded on all hands that the appointments, so far as known, com bine all the clements of character, ability, and fitness for the various offices to which they have been appointed, which ensure q faithful discharge of duty, and correspond ing benefit 10 the public service.
 The country must approve and sustain the course oi the President upon the subject of appointments to office. His object seems to be, to fill the offices of the government with the highest grades of talet and moral charac- ter, calculated to give dignity qndimpor!ance to such situations, both at nome and abroad And We are well assured, too, that what ap- pears to be his settled purpose in regard to applicants for office, will be adhered to until reform in that matter is effected The sys- tenn which has heretofore prevailed of be- sieging the white house, and of pressing up on the president their applications with un- ceaslng importantly, must be reformed A proper self-respect, and the necessity of dis charging the executive duties with dignity and efficiency, alike require that the annoy ing habit of continuous personal solicitation, should be greatly diminished. Itwould seem to be natural dictate of common sense. to suppose that the man who, after presenting his application for an office, would remain for weeks, to annoy and importune the Pre- sident with personal solicitations, would scarcely possess that dignity and manlness of character, which would best fit him for the office desired At all events, whether we judge wrongly or rightly in this matter, 1t is fair inference from passing events, and there are many, who, in their own cases, may prove 1t to be true.- Constitution.

THE NEW YORK HERALD.

We had resolved not 10 notice the attacks OF
the Herald upon Mr. Tyler and his Admins
traiion, violent and reckless they have been
Of late but when through Mr.. Tyler the at
tempt is made to strike down a third person,
who is, we are well convinced, innocent Of any
just cause OF attack, we feel ourselves compell-
ed TO speak. IL is known that The name OF Tho
mas A. Cooper, Esq, is before the Senate for
the place in the Customs Of Philadelphia, vaea-
ted by The resignation OF Colonel Waimough.
We do not believe that there exists a more
honorable man, and We do not believe that the
Government ever had more faithful officer.
His business capacity and diligent attention TO
the duties Of his Office, are avouehed by the Of
6cers connected with the Cusioms, who are the
daily witnesses Of his unceasing attention to his
duties and yet, TO lnjure him, and TO ahec, his
nomination, the correspondent OF the Herald
manufactures tale that Mr.. Robert Tyler has
urged upon the President the nomination Of
Mr.. Prosper NJ. Weimore, Of New York, for
the Navy Agency, for which Mr.. Suydsm has
recently been rejected, as necessary To obtain
the confirmation Of Nh. Cooper. This gross
libel we feel ourselves called upon TO repel. IL
is libel not only on Mr. X. Tyler and the Pre-
sident, but on the Senate itself What possi-
bic conneIion can exist between the two APP
pointments7 What Senator is to be eoneila-
ted by il What Senator has expressed de-
sire for Mr.. We,more's appointment
We understand the trick Of the times. The
blow is not aimed as much at Mr.. Cooper AZ at
Mr.. Wermore. The object is to drive The Pre-
sldent from any purpose Of nominating Mr..
Wetmore. Do not Mr.. Bennett and his cores
pendent know the President better than to sup.
pose he can be driven from formed purpose by
a newspaper paragraph Mr.. Wetmore has
been represented TO US as gentleman Of high
standing in the Democratic party in New York
He has been recently appointed Regent OF the
University Of that Stale along with distinguish
ed citizens. We do not doubt that he would be
suitable and faithful agent of the Government
in the place of Navy Agent Whether the APP
pointmenl will fall upon him we are not inform
ed. We do not believe that any one is inform
ed. Certain il is that no nomination has vet
been made; but we are equally certain that the
President will not be Influenced in his selection
by the base attacks Of the newspaper press.

ANNEXATION OF TEXAS.
SPEECH OF MIR. c.. ELLIS,
OF NEW YORK,
In The House Of Representatives,
JANUARY 25, 1S45.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN: No question has come before the
Congress OF The Union during the present generation,
OF so much importance to the welfare of country,
as the acquisition Of Texas. ..
1t is altogether national in its character; and
though the blessings its consumma ton will bring with
II, may be greater in some regions Of the United
States than IN Others yet, sir, can il never be dwarf
ed down to the humble stature of a mere sectional
measure. IL Is a movement which concerns the ex-
pansion OF our institutions over magnificent domain
filling up the grand outline Of territory intended TOR
the possession and destiny Of the American an
outline drawn by the hand Of the Creator himself in
deserts and mountains around the south western Dor
der Of this continent.
Sir, a momentsry glance at the map Of North
America demonstrates the nationality of this question
Texas skirts the Gulf Of Mexico hundreds Of miles,
spreads INFO the interior along the boundaries of our
own country thousands of miles more, stretching
north to latitude beyond the queen city Of the Mis-.
sisspp, retrestng far in the of the Indian ma.
tons collected upon western borders, and ex-
tending TO the verge Of the southern pass of the Rocky
mountans-that psss which opens TO lis the distant
domain Of Oregon and the shores of the Pacific -
IL embraces an area quntuple in size the empire

Hoods" Rich and prolific, is the language Of geog.
rspby, IN the productions of the fertile soil OF
all climes, from the frozen North to the burning
South, and in tropical staples SURPRISING the most ia
vored regions Of the earth. Sir are we not all of
us-the North, the South, the East and the West
equally and together interested advancing our no
Bile race, our social and political system, our laws,
our Institutions over this territory only thus con
terminous with our own, but now a dsmembered
portion of that great valley which reaches from the
