Tho manufacturers Of Manchester and other towns are
eouplsprs Of tie advance In the price Of Cotton They
now say that this advance places them In worse posi-
ton than that IN which they stood few months $50 a.
has tendency TO restrain the resumption OF ia Tine ana
a. seems little chance Of obtaining any material sd-
vance on goods yarn, continued advance on Cotton

The Coercion Bill and the Arms Bill have not done
much good IN unhappy Ireland. Dreadful deeds Of blood
continue TO be committed. Landlord and tensst are SUI
objects for the 6uuderbuss OF the assassin. An Irish pa
per says that every county In Ireland sds more or less
symptoms Of a corspiracy-a combination Of iensnt-po"-
er-to rob the landlords and take away their lives even
the tenant who would be disposed to pay his rent made
an object Of vengeance in common with his landlord
To be an Irish landlord the highest crime which
can only be xsted by being shot and ~ pay rent en-
offence OF no secondary character
The Consol market s improving every day Yesterday
cousos touched s and money the Stock Exchange Is
abundant The Herald Of to-day remarks that noI more
than n per cont per could be obtained Tor H. on'
adds this Journal Il Is rather portentous Of iniure events
that the bankers prefer making loans on Stock and TX
change bills to purchasing for investment Indeed re-
necng persons consider the rapid advance that has taken
place in prices hazardous game played by the spseu
ators as the turn Of ole may send prizes down 10 PER
cent.
The merchants In the city expected 70 receive the e
tiers this afternoon BY the from America IN Time
to answer them by nights mail but mp to postnonr no
