9th of February, We find the following para.
graph:
Mr.. Horsman, VI. p, has been. meeting his
constituents at Stroud and finding that some of
them disapproved of his relinquishng the post of
Secretary for Ireland, he gave his reasons for
that step-and very remarkable reasons they are.
In the first place Ireland is now in so contented
and prosperous condition that he had little to do ;
it reqpixEd great ingenuity to occupy himself
more than two hours day. In the second place,
the salary was very large for SO very easy Sit
uation ;; and in the third place, office Decessita
ted the giving up Of great deal Of Independence
qpd freedom Of discussion upon general political
subjects. Therefore, like an honest and -consci-'

Sgsirm Of !StNing Goods at .Na~chcSicr-The
following extract from Il recent lcttc from Man
chester, England, drsribcs the system nlnptc
by the great manufacturing establishments of
that city in Sc Hing their goods aud in receiving
payment. 1t shows that the principe of selling
for cash short credits is one Of the clements of
the prosperity of Manchester.
'''Ihc general system upon which goods are
sold here is for cash-ihat il, all accounts are
paid on particular day Of each month, ix.,l by
the different houses For instance. Mr. b
pays al; accounts the last Friday in each month,
by ii check on his blnkcrs,;" and ,lrducis one.
and n half per cent. discount. On the same
principle, all manufactured goods and yn,ns are
sold. Some houses prefer to pay cash lnnrdia.
teiy on presenting the account and then deduct
one months interests and one and half per
cent. Some manufacturers sell their own cloth
at the Offices, others employ an agent and pay
one per cent. for selling. Very few printers or
manufacturers consigh goods. The few who do
so nro wealthy men, and have houses abroad,
and do business both in imports and exports.
should think that more than ninety per cent.
Of the business rs done on the system of cash
payment. The American agency houses here
buy their goods OIL the terms which I have
named, and settle ns they may with the New
York importers. But few if amy Of our printers
send goods on consignment This has been done
by the Scotch 'nna Liverpool houses, and the re-.
suit is now apparent. The banks have eucourar-
cd this business and the present loss and distress
the result. Herein Manchester, as the rule.
all goods bought mp 10 the 24tli of this month,
are due the last Friday of next month, and are
paid by II checkless one apd half per cent -
Ihisl is called cash pay ments. If bnnker's bill
NJ three months was offered, it would not be ia
ken. This system has, during the present crisis.
