WINTER PROSPECTS FOR THE PooR-This time
last year, or trife later, alarm troubled
mems minds as they thought Of the win
ter. A cessation of more than half the en-
terprises consuming labor, and an immense
rise in the prices Of articles of prime necessity
occurring simultaneously and at time when
New York swarmed with newly landed immi-
grants-might we'll brighten the boidest. As
the winter wore on, the feelings Of the benevo-
lent prompted a variety Of engines of relief,
which to sober minds appeared fraught with
more future mischief than present benefit.
There was time when it seemed not impossi-
BILE that soup Kitchens might become perma-
nent civic institution. The winter passed.
The poor suffered incredible hardship, and
verely pinched. When the spring came, and the
immigrants found their way into the country,
load was removed from mems minds, and
clergymen prayed in the pulpit that New York
might not know such another season Of dis
tress-
We are on the verge of winter once more,
and it is with feelings Of sincere gratitude to
Providence that we contrast our present pros
poets with those Of last October. Though the
chief disturbing cause.-The European war
still RACES with undated fury, and the bel
igerents only seem to be beginning their
troubles, the prospects of the poor in
America are as promising as they have ever
been. Labor-which was drug last win
ter--is in large demand. There appears no
reason to suppose that that demand will fall
of. Very few of the enterprises now in course
of prosecution are OF that speculative charac-
ter which monetary crisis would be likely to
interrupt. There is even little superfuous
building going on. On the other hand, the
supply Of labor is small. From various causes
the immigration of the year has been scanty.
OF the laborers who were fed at the soup
kitchens last year, the bulk have gone to the
country, where they are in the receipt of good
wages. A few have returned to Europe, where
the war has created.a very fair demand for
labor. Altogether, there seems to be little or
no pauperism or forced idleness at present,
and no prospect Of it for the winter.
1t is generally believed that prices are lower
now than they were this time last year. This
is not quite correct, as appears by the follow
ing table,

ABOLITION Fusion IN BosToN.-The general
convention of the radical aboltionists at Bos-
ton has gone step in advance of our Seward
fusionists in behalf Of the equality of all races.
Rev. DR.. J. McCune Smith, of New York, (black
man, was elected President of this Boston con-
vention, while several white New England
clergymen, OF the anti-Nebraska three thou
sand, figured in the secondary capacity of Vice
Presidents, and Mr.. Lewis Tappan (white man)
was chosen the Treasurer. Our Seward negro
worshippers here have been given hint which
they must follow up, in allowing our free CO.
lored Americans a hearing in their councils,
or, peradventure, the Preston King ticket may
lose the support of the Fred. Douglass party.
Are our Seward organs prepared to sacrifice
the colored vote upon mere prejudices of color?
or why is it, If they want this vote, that, with
oil their faith in Sambo, they have not one
black man upon their State ticket? Why is it
that colored people are not allowed to ride in
their car? Let George T. Downing look into
this business.

The CANAL LoAN.--Mr. John Thompson. the
great model fnancier of Wall street, has not
been more fortunate with the courts of law
than he appears to have been with his canal
scrip. 1t was he, as every body knows, who
astonished the banks and brokers last fall by
securing the whole of the canal loan, and then
offering TO sell it to them at slight advance.
Some time ago we were told in the newspaper
which serves as tender to his periodical. that
he had disposed of the whole of his stock. and
was ready for more. But this was before the
Canal Commissioners advertised the new loan.
When notice was given that bids would be re-
ceived FOR another million and quarter. Mr..
Thompson applied to Judge Mitchell for an
injunction to restrain the Canal Commissioners
from contracting any new loan at present.
The application was, Of course, refused. II
appears singular, 20 say the least, that so great
a financier and unrivailed aa operator as Mr..
Thompson should have been under the impress
sion that the court would stay the public
works Of the State till such time as he had
disposed of the whole Of his stock .. a profit.

The point Of the news by the Africa is again
financial. Cotton, it seems, has continued to
fall, and with such rapidity as to create posi-
tive panic. OF course it is not always possible
to assign an immediate cause for these fluctua-
lions in speculative commodities; but, accord
ing to the old rules Of trade fall in cotton
Indicates decline of manufacturing industry.
In the present case it means, according to those
rules, that the war is absorbing the labor which
would otherwise be employed in converting
raw cotton into manufactured goods; ALSO that
owing to the impoverishment of the cemmuni-
ty of consumers, there is an unusually light
demand for cotton goods The effect of the
fall will be injurious on this market. Strong
hopes have been entertained by spectators on
this side that the price of cotton would be
| maintained; their disappointment will be the
more poignant as the fall already realized
must disturb, to very serious extent the state
of our commercial relations and exchanges
with England.
1t is mentioned as piece Of news that the
Bank has not yet further increased the rates of
discount. Considering that it was only last
week we heard that the Bank had raised the
rate to 81, this singular announcement indi-
Gates very alarming state of feeling on the
other side. We have seen for some time the
Bank increase the rate of interest one per cent
a month; but is it going to advance ROW at the
rate of per cent per week? Quite clear it
is, of course, that the Bank of France continues
to draw on its neighbor for specie, and that
Napoleon has not yet been able to make up his
mind to suspend specie payments. They move
slowly, these Europeans
