England and the United States. At a
banquet given to the Palmerston ministry,
by the Lord Mayor of London the 2lst ult =,
Lord Palmerston spoke on the foreign poll
icy Of Great Britain and thus alluded to the
relations with the United States
Il will only say believe that at no time
in recent years has there existed so thorough
ly sound and wholesome a feeling as now
prevails between the people of this country
and the United States, who, understanding
their reciprocal interests, feel determine,
ton that those interests shall not be disturb
ed by quarrels and disagreements, which
may partially lerange, though they do not in
terrupt our friendly communications. | be-
lieve that this amicable feeling is shared as
well by the Government of the United States
as by the Government of Her Majesty, and
we have this advantage-that the eminent
man who has now been raised by the voice
Of his countrymen to preside over the desti-
MES of those States has but recently left our
shores, has lived among us. has mixed with
all classes of our people, and has been able
to appreciate the esteem and respect felt for
his country by all sections in these king
doms."

Richmond Dry Goods Trade, &c.

The question has often been asked, why
have we not Virginia city? Simply be-
cause Virginians have always dealt with the
North to the great injury Of their own
State. We are glad, however to say, that
Richmond is now attracting the atteation OF
many of the Virginia merchants, and that
the trade, this Spring, in Dry Goods and
Groceries has been brisk aud largely in
creased over former sales, many new pur-
ehasers having gone into that market. We
are informed by a very respectable and in
teligent merchant who has recently return
ed from Richmond and who purchased his
entire stock of Goods III that city, that be
made his purchases at rates nearly as low as
he ever did in the Northern cities, and
which can be sold ae low, as there is not the
game expense attending transportation, tray
q, &c. And why should not Goods bought
in Richmond be as desirable as those pro-
cured from the North---they are all bought
from the mportor-hesides there are scve-
raj importing houses in Richmond. There
is another reason why the merchant should
deal in Richmond. and that is, that the mo-
ney with which be makes his purchases is
bfou ,ht back among Us in return for o.
Their articles Of trade which is not the ease
when expended in the Nortbeta cite

Col, Win. II. IIarman. Of Augusta.

Messrs. Editors, l am glad to see the
name of Col. IIARMAN presented to the De-
moeracy of Virginia, as suitable person to
ill the Office made vacant by Mr. Bocoek' S
resignation.
Col. II. belongs to a Spartan band of our
party, who have fought CALAMITY, against
fearful odds, and, as yet, has never rcceiv-
ed any thing at the hands of our party in
the State. 1t is not, however, on political
grounds alone that we commend him to the
favorable consideration Of the Democracy.
He is one of the first legal men in the State,
of his age; gentleman of great private
worth. and would fill the office with distin-
guishod ability. Col. Hartman is equal to
any position in which he may be placed -
His nomination would give great satisfac-
ton to the Democracy of the Valley, to the
