In the British House of Commons on the 2od or

oiution, which was adopted By vote of 46S forcit
to So against it:
1T is the opinion of this House that theimproved
condition of the country and especially the indus
trial classes is mainly the result of the recent iegs
lation which has established the principle of unre-
striced competition, and has abolished the taxes i'm
posed for the purpose of protection. That it's the
tanned, and prudrntIy extended will best enable the
industry OF the country to bear its burdens, and
thereby assuredy promote the welfare and content,
ment Of the people. That this House Is ready .'
take into its considerations any measure CONSISTENT
with these principles, Wilhelm pursuance OF h he
Majesty's speech made before them-m"y be Offer
ed by her Alajesty's ministers"
This is in every way, one OF the most signal III
umphs of the Free Trade policy and settles at one
and forever the idea of protection in Great Britain
Indeed, this doctrine is fast losing ground through
out the commercial world, and will soon cease

The Zephyr.

steamer by the above name. which has just arrived
here from Wilmington. Delaware, and is intended 20
run as a passenger boat between this place ana ray
ettevle She is 129 feet in length, Oh feet BEAM
81 feet hold has two inclined engines, the combined
power of which is over one hundred horse the en-
sines capable of being uncoupled, and acting sepa
rate when tried on the Delaware river she attained
a speed of fourteen miles an hour. She will not
draw, with all ON board, than eighteen inches
From the above dimensions, power and speed 1t
will be seen that the Zephyr is larger and more
powerful class of boat than has heretofore been useo
in this business, at the same time that her draught
of water is graduated expressly for the trade OF the
Cane Fear River She is fitted up in the most bea"
tiful and convenient STYLE with all the modern ap
plances and is equal in every respect to the Della
ware or North River boats of a similar class Hell
saloon is 4S feet in ength.the ladies' portion divi
ded from the rest by handsome curtains; the WOOD
work painted white, and the pannels ornamen'e'
with gliding and decorated with paper mac"

The Raleigh Mali.

We are in receipt of letter from Mr. Whitaker
the Post Master at oldsboro in relation to the fail
ures of the mails from Raleigh. As we have no as
postion to do Mr. Whitaker the slightest injustice
or 10 iniure him in any way. we give the substance
OF his statement with regard the alleged delays at
bis Office.
He saws that when at home, no train has ever
PASSED his Office without receiving the Raleigh man.
and that Mr. Lougee, who acts for him when ABSENT
assures him that but mail passed him. and That
he was in the Office at least fifteen minutes before
the train left and no application was made to him
for the mail We must think Mr.. Leugee somewhat
mistaken in this last statement, since certainly
neither the mail agent, MIR. Walker, and the train
agent, Mr.. Lynch, support him.
| MIR. Whitaker says, that the mail from Raleigh to
Goldsboro is due at the latter place ut o clock r.
NJ It arrives at ii P. M, II P. NJ. and sometimes
as late as 10 o'clock in the morning, when ne as
tributes it. although not bound to do So II fault

INVESTMENTS IN MANUFAcTUREs.-The Boston
Journal says:
The current of investment is now turning strongly
towards factory stocks. which beginning TO hold
out brilliant prospects in the way OF dividends. A
very important change in several branches OF the
manufacturing business has been going on during
the last six months. The demand for domestic goods
| has increased greatly, and prices have advanced
sufficiently 10 yield handsome profits. This fact,
which is beginning to be realized in the community,
furnishes key to the present movements in factory
shares. The truth is, that large majority of our
manufacturing stocks are now selling at prices much
below their real value as be easily demonstrated
by reference 10 facts and figures. The Bay State
Mills for example, held in the market at from $500
to 5000 per- share, about ten per cent below the
par value will earn for the current business year
full ten per cent. net and pay dividend In tebua-
nv next of less than six per cent or per share
while for the ensuing year the business prospects OF
the concern arc decidedly better.
The mills are stocked with more than year 8
:; supply of wool, the advance which alone, COM
pairing the cost with prices now ruling would he a.
bout equal to the respectable of 100000. The
T. Amoskeag Manufacturing Company shares with the
prospect Of semannua dividend in February, OF
five six per cent, selling at but ten per cent
u advance while Hamilton and Massachusetts, with
probable dividends of four per cent, nearly at hand
are bringing only about par value The same re-
= marks will apply to many other companies. whicn
W we have not space enough to mention in detail but
l. the arguments in factory stocks entitled to mos
weight are those which refer to the prospects aheae
ID certainly most brilliant and encouraging
