Foreign.

The steamship Canadian arrived at Quebec,
on Monday last with Liverpool intelligence to
the 21st ult.. Cotton had advanced g. led on all
qualities, with very active speculative de-
mand. The sales on Monday previous, were
10000 bales, 10000 of which were on specu.
lation, which is an almost unprecedented days
work. The sales for three days were 10000,
more than half of which were taken by specu-
lators. Business at Manchester was dull but
prices of goods were maintained by the advance
in cotton. Breadstuffs had declined slightly;
pork and beef are very dull. Bacon has ad-
vanced; lard is dull, and tallow had advanced
l shilling. Consols had advanced notwith-
standing the money pressure, and were selling
at SO to 931s for account. 1t is said Lord
Palmerston was preparing a new bill Of re-
form; and another bill for the same end would
be introduced by Lord John Russell. Eng
land and France had suspended diplomatic
intercourse with Naples; though no movements
of the combined fleet had followed. 1t is said
the King of Naples had appealed to Austria,
Russia and Prussia to guarantee the integrity
of the Neapoltan Kingdom, by treaty, as they
had that Of the Turkish empire, to which no
reply had been made. All the European pow
ers had assented to the arrangement with
Denmark in regard to the Sound Dues. The
severity of the commercial crisis in France
was mitigated, and the belief was entertained
that the country would pass through it with
out general CONFUSION, financial or political.
At religious meeting in London, assembled
to hear the celebrated Baptist preacher, Rev.
Mr.. Sturgeon, an alarm of fire was raised and
in the rush Of the crowd to escape, several
persons were trampled to death.

EV A Ms WILL e:
FRIDAY MORNING, ::::::::::::::::::::::::::Nov. 7
or Some members of the city Council

1LT Some members of the city Council
have complained to US that we had miscon-
ceived the position of the Council on the SUBJ
ject of the Straight Line Railroad Bonds
We are anxious to prevent controversy on
the subject, and our desire is to have ita dust
believe agitation in bad matter, to be always
impolitic. We therefore did not mean to say
any thing, we were not fully justified in say
ing, and no more than our sense of duty to
the public, required us to svy. Our position
was simply this, that the reasons assigned by
the Council for Withholding the Bonds were
not a sufficient legal defence to the demand of
the company; and would appear so frivolous
and inconclnsive to strangers as to warrant
the belief that they were thnot real reasons
for Withholding Bonds, but that reputation was
lurking under the cloak of specious pretences.
If the Council have other and sound legal
grounds to sustain the refusal, they should
certainly set them forth, when they have re-
ferred the subject to the people and thereby in
vited ull.discussion of the subject. The peo-
pie should be informed in every thing relating
to the question-should know every motive
and reason for the conduct of the Council,
when they have attempted to trnsfer the re-
sponsibility of their duties in this matter, to
the people. If they have other reasons than
those assigned, it is their Imperative duty to
give them to the public If they have good
l., he c,1kc nd
believe their obligation to issue of the Bonds
is void they should boldly avow it, and submit
the question at once to the courts, and not
ask the people to vote on it.
The vote neither makes the contract valid
nor annuls it. 1t is question of law that
had better be referred to the Counsel or to the
courts, by az agreed issue, at once. We ar
gued the case as the Council presented it, and
our sole object was to show that the grounds
of defence were insufficient and untenable;
and if they were all we had to rely on, we
had better submit at once to the conditions OF
o bad bargain, which we could not escape, and
not discredit ourselves, injure the city, and
disparage an enterprise deeply affecting our
interests, by frivolous objections, which the
world would say were mere pretences. If the
real reason for the refusal, is distrust Of the
integrity and honor of the men into whose
hands they are to be given, it would be far
better for the city, the road, and all interested
in the enterprise, to plainly declare it, and re-
fuse to give the bonds up till there was new
administration of its affairs; this course would
save the credit of the city, and bring no dis
credit ON the enterprise, which it is our great
desire to defend and support. We believe it
essential to the growth and advancement of
the city for the men who are engaged in it,
we feel no more interest than for other good
citizens; they have had, and will have no in
fuence on our course; it is the public inter-
est we seek to subserve.

OF We are sorry the Enquirer has been
disappointed in its fattering expectations Of
us; but we are constrained to declare that the
article that SO offends one neighbor, was, with
out any partizan prejudice, an honest express
ion of opinion and taste; and it has received
more hearty and general approval than any
paragraph we have penned in Evansville; land
what will be still more disagreeable, perhaps to
the Enquirer, it has, in secret, been endorsed
by great many intelligent Democrats who
have proper appreciation of men unbiased
by political prejudices.
Our surprise Was--and it is the wonder of
the State-how man of so small merit has
attained so conspicuous station and having
been SO long in contact with superior men
should have been so little benefited. Is it an
extraordinary instance of the success of in
trigue, impudence and demagoguism, or is
there some latent ability We spoke only of
the single effort made here, and judged him
by the specimen of his powers, which he dis
played to us as sample Of his abilities. II
he be the statesman and man of parts, whom
the Enquirer so much lauds, as the most wor-
thy of all the sons of Indiana, to wear the
Senatorial mantle, and to impugn whose mag
nifcent greatness is treason to the party, he
did the citizens of Evansville no honor by the
miserable rehash of the fragments of the stuff
on which the rabhle of the party had been
fed through the whole campaign.

Manufacture of clothing in Evansville.

But few persons are aware that We have in
this City and but recently, started an extensive
mandatory of mems and boys clothing
Messrs. A. Anspacher & Co., on Main street,
who were lately in the dry goods business,
went out of that business, few months ago,
and went into the clothing business. Their
store is filled with the same material for max
ing Coats, Pants, Vests, &c. In story above
the made up articles, are exposed to wholesale,
and in still a story higher, several expert
cutters are busy all day plying the shears in
cutting out, whilst all round, in and about the
town, are to be found men women and girls to
the number of near four hundred, at work,
making up the garments at their own fire
sides. These Gentlemen say the demand up
on them for ready made clothing from mer-
chants in the surrounding country is such they
could employ one thousand hands, if they
could obtain them. These hands who do this
work at their own homes, make good living
wages; and one family last Saturday received
for their weeks earnings, twenty two dollars
The expenses of this concern being less than
if they were in one of the large cities, where
rents are much higher, enable them to give
full satisfaction, to the merchants who deal in
Evansville; and the result is that their boards
are cleared by purchasers about as soon as the
weekly product is laid upon them. Such
men, who pay living wages to so many, who
must otherwise be often idle, are public bene-
factors, and such a concern shows what may
be done in Evansville in their line. In fact
manufacturing of every kind, yet tried here
has proved eminently successful. The man
ufacturing interests of Evansville have increas-
ed during the past year far beyond all previous
experience COMMUNICATED

THE TEHAUNTEPEC RoUTE.-By recent ar
rivals from Tehauntepec at New Orleans, it
appears that the inter-oceanic road is rapidly
progressing to completion. The Mexicans on
the rcate give their hearty cooperation in the
work, and seem much pleased at the arrival
of foreigners among them. The climate on
the Isthmus is salubrious and delightful. The
soil is rch and capable of sustaining large
population. The public authorities are lend
ing cordial aid to help along the work, and
are anxious for its early completion.

o. AS the subject involved in the Railroad
Bond discussion is one deeply affecting the
interests of the city, we do not feel at libery
to deny an expression of the public opinion
through our columns to those who are earnest
ly claiming to be heard; though we are anx-
ious to repress rather than encourage an ex-
cited controversy in the matter The public
sentiment as it comes to our ears is in favor of
the issue, with the pledges indirectly offered
by the company. The following is from an
old citizen who demands the right to speak
for himself
Mr.. EDITOR: A report of a committee of the
City Council upon the question of issuing to
Carpenter the second instalment due him by
subscription to the Strait Line Railroad APP
peared in your paper of the 9th inst. 1t is to
me inconclusive in all it's parts. The report
is unsatisfactory to the public of this city. The
property holders of Evansville have solemnly
pledged the credit of the city to the payment
of their subscription and they a0il not repudi-
ate the obligation. The citizens of Evans
vile have not yet fallen so low in their own
sel-esteem as to refuse just fulflment of
their contract. l am a poor man and
a tax payer-but I would abide by the
contract at all hazards Now if the present
City Council are unwilling to shoulder the re-
sponsbility, let them resign their seats and
then put the question to the tax payers wheth-
er or not that thing she'll be done. Give the
question to the people and we will see if this
city is to be placed in 4he catalogue of those
who refuse to comply with solemn contracts
| shall speak again upon this subject, give the
matter to the people-and let them elect
Council competent to discharge their lawful
duties. JUSTICE.

JAPAN.-The wedge first entered by our
government, is bursting the bands of the ex-
elusive policy of the secluded japanese En-
pre. From the last accounts from the Chi
nese Seas, it appears the Emperor of Japan
had held a conyocaton of all the dignitaries OF
his empire, and it had been decreed that two
ports of the empire, those of Nangasaki and
Hak odadi, should be open to the vessels of all
nations. There they might repair take in
provisions, establish depots of coal, &c. The
other ports Of the empire, moreover, are to be
to vessels in distress, which may
take refuge in them, but which will have to
put to sea the moment the danger is over
No foreigner is allowed to penetrate into the
interior of the country without special per-
mission from the Chief Of the State. No de-
cision had yet been come to with regard to
the commercial question. The right of ira
ding with Japan is still exclusively maintained
in favor of the Dutch and Chinese, who have
long possessed it on very onorous terms, hav-
ing but one market open to them, that of
Nangasaki. This is a long step in the way of
progress, and the credit Of having produced
the change, belongs to our own country.

city to establish new line of steamships be-

the performance of the entire distance in
fifteen days. The plans are drawn for the
construction of steamers four hundred and
twenty-five long and fifty feet in the beam,
having two separate and distinct engines, with
four wheels and accommodations for three thou
and passengers. The scheme is merely paper
one at present, but California enterprise and
