Talk on 'CllNnge.

Though the summer solstice is passed, the heat of
the weather is far from being oppressive in fact, for
the information of those absentees who were in such
hurry to get away weeks ago, we say there have not
been three really days in succession this sea-
son. In other, and in fact, in all respects, we are
doing as we'll and better than the faf.famed CONNER
cia metropolis Of the Western continent, New York
We have no weekly mobs or riots endangerng the
lives and property Of our citizens. We have not
board of brokers who endeayor daily to break this Or
that railroad company, gore and toss, buy and cheat
this or that individual We have not set OF harpes
or would-be-merchants endeayoring to depress and
bear down, our own chief article Of trade, and who
weekly forward to foreign countries distorted fictitious
and false representations of stocks receipts, growth,
ETC. Though it is currently reported there are parties
in our midst who have been engaged in the paltry
and nefarous business OF depressing or attempting to
depress Southern interests fortunately, their infu
ence was so limited their movements so weak, it is
hoped that henceforward they will see the folly and
uselessness of attempting to control the immutabe
laws of commerce and trade.
The general accounts from the cotton region so
favorable that strong hopes are entertained with good
weather for the balance of the season) that ave-
rage yield of cotton may be realized. We may hear
of dry weather ere long, and the cotton on upands
not advancing with any great rapdity. The meetings
in Liverpool convened for the purpose of considering
the supply of cotton, do not to move on very
tremendously The following extract from the Liver
pool Northern Times Of the 10th ut, in allusion to
the meeting of the Cotton Supply Association, held
four days previously to show that the Manches
ter folks have more than one string to their bow
There was one speaker at Friday meeting whom
we were astonished to see put forward, namely Mr..
Bailey, the President of the Manchester Chamber OF
Commerce. 1t was only the week before that he was
up in London giving evidence against the legitimacy
| of the Liverpool Town Dues. He certainly had a
vast deal of assurance in presenting himself to a
Liverpool audience after the testimony which he gave
| on the Mersey Conservancy Bill. The fact of his ap
pearance here, and delivering speech on the sub
ject, shows that this is, after ALL Manchester ques
lion, and it is somewhat singular that after attempt
ing rob the borough Of Liverpool Of its just rights
the aders and abettors of that scheme should be in
| the humiliating position of seeking aid from Liver
pool to obtain an increased supply of cotton. We are
glad that the meeting has taken place, it for
other purpose than that Of exhibiting the duplcit,
and seldshness of the Manchester men,. With respec
to the movement ITSELF we consider that much of thu
alarm that has been created respecting short suppl
of cotton is uncalled for at the same time if there
other benefit derived from the meeting of Friday
than calling attention to the question: and inducing
capitalists to turn their thoughts the culture OF
ton in the British possessions, and thereby render
less dependent upon foreign countries, great boo
will be conferred on the trade and commerce Of tn
country Before, however, any very active steps b
taken in the matter, the Cotton Supply Association
will do well to ascertain their actual position and
give currency to unfounded alarms which must ever
| tually disarrange the wheels of commerce.
The Cotton Supply Association will, in all prob
bity determine that the Southern States they mu
depend for the supply of cotton, and if they fail then
there might be change in the monarchical govern
ments of Europe. g.
i The European mails by the Niagara, of the cot
ult. from Liverpool, will be due this morning W
may receive the whole, may receive only part, al
may not receive any portion. The Niagara was DIT
in Boston early on Wednesday morning last.
