MONDAY MORNING, Fee. IL, 1876
SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM ENG.
LAND.
BY the packet ship Roscius. Capt. Eldridgc,
we have received our regular files Of European
papers to The l1th January--the day before she
SAILED.
Nothing has been heard or seen OF the mis-
sing packet ship, the England and the United
States.
The Cotton market was firm, without change
in prices.
The steamship Great Britain made another
trial OF speed on tha 9Th January, with lao
visitors on board She went nnteen miles ex-
actly in one hour and nine minutes, head 10 the
wind! She performs admirably.
The Duke of Normandy, heir to the throne Of
France, has narrowly escaped ASSASSINATION in
England.
The London Morning Chronicle of 1lth JAM
uaIy says:--"We find little cause for congratu-
station in the lone Of the French press towards I
"England at the present moment, when vital
"toplcs are brought forward for discussion, an
"when each party is obliged to make decara-
"tion Of it's opinions. There may, indeed, be
"some more courtesy, or rather less abuse; but
"ol friendliness, or diminished hostility OF Eng
Island, we see no sign in the French prints.
i This denunciat ion grows out of what is called
by tina, journal, sthe French joining the Amer
leans against us in the affair Of Teas" The
Chronicle is bitter against the French govern
icle, lido we complain of the bad faith of the
, French when up starts the French liberal Press,
and unanimously approve the breach Of faith"
The Chronicle proceeds to speak of TIC
French press, as follows:-"Let Texas go To
d perdtIon," exclam they, "let it be land of
slaves, because that will ihwart and vex Erg-
land. Let the Anglo American race drive the
Spanish hack into he gorges of the lsthmus.-
Wha, care we! The policy Of France cannot
be wrong as long as it is enmity to EngIan{; and
if M. Guz3t should show The least accord with
G England in this matter, he is a traitor"
The original alliance Of France with England
in relation 10 Texas was unreasonable land un-
natural. What in,eres had France in aiding 10
, give Great BRIAN an influrce in Texas and
Mexico-a control Of the comEerce ofthe Gu {
and of The Pacific! We knew the people would
not sanction it. The Chronicle after bitter
ltra de against France more than insinuate that
great portion of the United States goes with
| England on The slave question. "But," says
THAT journal, "here is more than one. half OF hat
potent Reputlic which will more heartily despise
| and hate the French for supporting slavery, than
| for any other cause. Louis Philippe is too well
acqnainted with the United States not 10 know
that in rendering himself The tool Of MIR. Cal.
houn, he exposes himselfeto the contempt Of all
tina, is eminent, inteectuaL and philanthropic
in the Union" Mr.. Calhoun it is evident has
touched The right string, in exhibiting TO France
the impocy Of any special alliance with Eng.
land on the Texas question.
The Position and Prospects # Commerce and
Eannfaeture.--The year which closes this day
has been one Ct the most remarkable ever
known in the commercial and manufacturing
history of the country. II has presented The
contrast Of upexampled prosperity in almost
every lranch Of manufacturing industry, with
almost unexamp ed depres son in tie price of the
raw materials employed in those manufactures.
From the beginning 10 the end OF 1874, tho
course of prices has BIZ fled all calcalion, and has
in too many cases, inf cted severe losses on in
dviduals and communities. With the excep.
tion Of the importers OF guano, timber, aud
sleeps wool, there is no class ofmerchants who
have lost il to II ghtful extent. The year, as
whole, has been fortunate for Manchester
Happily, when things get TO the worst they
begin TO mend, ani he general impression in
Liverpool is that they are past the worst, and
| that there is prospect of very extensive trade
| in the coming vest, with improving prices
/ High prices are not desirable for the country,
but an inproven enl in prices resulting from
prosperous trade and an extending demand is
so, and it is the opinion of persons ofsound judg-
ment, well acquainted with the present condi.
ton of trade AID commerce that these are The
kind Of prices which are likely 10 prevail during
the year on which we are about TO enter. Most
sincerely do we trust that these an'icipations
wilprove well.founded. - Liverpool Tins, Dec.
l3, 1874
The current of pubic opinion has set in SO
strong against Native Americanism, that Mr..
Webster has deemed it prudent to let It be
known that he is not in favor OF an independent
Native party; but il is his firm belief that if anv
reforms are to be made in the premises. they
must emenate from the wing party and be car
red through by that party. So that Natireism
