. CASH READy. The L,ndon Times says
that Gen. Pierce will, il elected, be vallr-
Gble practical ally to the commercial policy
of Manchester and Birmingham. That is a
broad hint that British m0ney'ought 10 be
expended fresiy.at this election, in order to
insure FROM the United States a "natioEal
sanctiGn and invio!ablc establishment Of the
principles ot'fiee trste." So, gentlemen on
the other sidet John Bull is ready to put up
the cash to help out the chances Of General
Pierce. He will stand a fat assessment dor
the expenses OF the canvass. The mll-own-
ers and iron-mongcrs Of Britain have des-
perate stakein the issue, and long more ear
-nestly to beat Scott than they did General
Riali on the eve of that heroic fight at Lun-
dy's Lane. Let them have u chance, then,
to prove heirinterest by material aid toward
electioneering for the British candidate
