Mr. Lindsay Before the Philadelnh1a
BoArd OF Trade,

D. II: Lindsay. Esq, u. r., from England,
who Is In this country on commercial mis-
sion from Great Britain, on the subject Of in
ternational reciprocity in mercantile matters,
met number Of merchants In the Board Of
Trade Room this afternoon. A number of
prominent men Of business were present.
Nr. Morton, the President Of the Board Of
Trade, introduced Mr. Lindsay to the meeting,
The last named gentleman expressed his re-
gret that IN announcement had been made that
he would be present in Philadelphia yesterday
lie regretted the circumstance; but he had
not authorized the announcement that be
would be present on the day named. He then
went On to refer to the fact that he had already
visited several cities In the United States and
Canada, where he had held Conversational
meetings upon the subject OF commercial cues.
tions In which both nations are interested.
lie had visited most of the prominent men Of
the country; but Of none Of them Lad he form
cd higher opinion than Of Mr. Hannibal Uam.
lin. with whom be had spent a most interesting
and delightful afternoon, and who had since
been elected Vice President OF the United
States. ME. Lindsay then referred to the difi.
cultics encountered hy the difference Of the
lnws Of the United States mud England In re-
spect to maritime affairs. In speaking Of Chi.
clgo, hc said that the exports this year would
reach two hundred and tity ,nlllions Of dollars.
He then referred to the probable future Of that
city and trade The law forbids TINT The coast- .
wise trade should be done in other than Amer
icau vessels, while Cauadian laws forbid that It
should be done in American bottoms on Their
coast he thought this policy unElse upon
The part Of both countries, sud dIsadyautaeeous
to both. England had made such laws and
she had seen the folly and error Of them, The
dlfcrential duties Of Canada unoa the com
merce of both countries he helleved 10 be H.
furious to both. lie belleyed that If the United
states would make concessions In respect to
her lake trade, Canada would throw down the
barriers against the lake trade, and make lib
er2l reductions upon the tariff upon American
goods. The 1aws Of England respecting Iieht-
. house dues, pilotage, &c, be deemed nnfair
and unsenerous, but he believed that If con-
cesslons Tere made BY the United Statcs IN re-
-spect TO hef coastwise trade, England wonld
meet us half way IN respect to tie dues inst r..
iefred to He belieyed that the commercial
interests Of England aud America were 1nutual
ana he urged the removal of the restrictions
TMeh aad been made whenthe interests Of the
Two nations were distinct mud at yariance with
each other, and when there was a narrow ieo1.
oasy. The speaker then referred to the renea1
o. ne navigation lays Of England, and nrped
Lna1 !ss1-. .tade had been Of great Importance to
Great Britain He then went intd IN elaboT-
nte argument to provo that ffee.trade had been
OF immense advantage to England, and he in.
ferrcd that the United states would reap an
.equM degree Of advantage from the pursuit Of
the same policy.

It is reported, on the authority of private
letters from the interior, that the city Of Qua
dalajara has at last E11en before the crowds Of
Liberals which General OgteEa had been able
to collect under lis command. It is variouslY
stated that the attacking force was from twelve
70 eighteen thousand men. Genesal Castillo,
who Commanded The town of Guadalaja1a, had
less than four thousand men under his COM
mand; with which to resist this overwhelming
odds. Moreover, Ortcga had one hundred
pieces Of artillery playing upon the place at
above intelligence did not think It Of pny in
portance TO mention dates, and therefore your
correspondent cannot give you the date Of the
capture. It is stated Tint General Wolf was
Killed, and that many Ct his chiefs md of9cers
we're also killed, and many others wounded.
Ills Is yefy important event in the present
courage the Church party, Of which Guadala-
lara was one Of the strongAolds, aud at the
same time II will encourage the Liberals, as it
is the first important and decisive battle in
which they fave beaten their opponents.
Moreover, It ct oncc releases oil tits Liberal
force md allows It at once to concentrate in
the siege Of the city Of Moxico., In fact,; Gen
cral Ortcga has already taken up Ais line of
march to attack the capital INN ediately. Wills
he has the upper hand. =
On the other hand, It is reported on what ia
considered good authority, Via Monterey, that
Ten UtGollAdo has taken another very curious
step, which Is likely to complicate matters In
the Liberal camp itself It seems that he has
taken the responsibility Of making a treaty
with Mlsamon to the elect that both rart.cs
shall lay down their arms, or rather that the
contending armies shall withdraw from the
field, that ! National Congress shall assemble,
and that all matters shall be submitted to the
will Of the people rs represented by the COM
plexion Of the new National Legislature. It is
supposed that Dcgollado fell into the scheme
In order to break thc force Of the odium WHICH
was falling on him from every quarter on ac-
count Of hts conduct in his 1ate seizure OF the
conducta at San Luis- This is the tenor of the
report, and my Mexican friends say Tint It is
probably fact, rs the same rumor has now
reached rs in both why's, first via New Orleans
and now via Monterey.
J: It is further atGted thnt Generals Or:eg. and
Doblado both opposed the tcomprouise. and
denounced DeSollsdo as traitor: They also
Threatened to break it of. by. attacking with
the forces under their command the opnoslne
party. Probably 1t WAS this event that hurried
up the attack npon Guadalajara. Ireckou that
catastrophe will put M end to thetrcaty. Tic
garrison Of Glladala}ar had BECOME yery much
reduced from want Of provisions, as thc SOL
diers were eating their horses. Before The
flnal attack on Guadalajara, General Castillo
offered to liberate Gen Urasa on his parolc Of
honor, but be would not accept it, saving that
he preferred to renaain and await tha e,oursa At

CAUSE or THE HASTE.

&AUSE OF 4R11 oASA4%s
We still believe in The existence Of con-
scrvatiyc Onion sentiment even among the
people Of the Cotton States. Thus far We
have heard from that section only the raw
in:s Of disuuionists-.of men who have ei-
zhcr openly or secretly, for years past fa-
vorcd disunion and the building up Of a
Southern Confelcracy. This class have
seized upon the electiun Of q Republican
President as i pretext for carrying out
what they had long since set their hearts
upon. VIC have no doubt but that thcy
desired the election Of M1.. Lincoln, md
that they broke up the Charleston Conyen-
ton and divided the Democratic party for
tue sole purpose Of increasing the certainty
Of tha. result From the accounts which
reach us, it would seem that the whole Of
the people arc infected with the same in
sane des:rc-that there Is not vestigc
Of loyalty or conservatism left in the Cot
ton States, and that perfect unity Of pur-
pose and harmony Of action inspire tie
masses in the pursuit Of n traitorous object.
But i: is to be borne in mind that these ac-
counts are brought us By the newspaper
organs Of the disunionists, and by the dis
patches Of the Associated Press, prepared
either by disunitmist in person, OF under
the influence Of the reign Of terror which
prevails in the principal cities and towns
Of tho Cotton States, Our belief is thai
this terrorism has thus far prevented
the concentration and organization ol
the conservative element which un-
doultedly has IN existence in those
States. The fact that the disunionists arc
in such hot haste to carry out their purposes,
furnishes IN additional warrant for this he
lief Evidently they are impressed with
the idea that time and dcliberation would
prove fatal to their projects, and hence
their anxiety to prccipitate the fatal step.
If the leaders in the movement had no fear
Of a rcaclion-of the development and or
ganization Of conservative sentiment OF
sufficient power to ooverwhalm every traitor
to the Constitution and the Union, more
coolness and dclibcr:1tion would mark their
movements. But, however prccipltate
may be their action, we still believe
their purposes will be thwarted-
The solid men Of the South al
already begin to feel the effects Of the
financial pressure which has resulted from
the movement It will grow more md
more stringent every day. Reflection will
be provoked, ,cvcn on thepart Of many who
are now how]ing for disunion. The reac-
ton is bound 10 come. Il may not have
time to he full and complete, but quite
enough 20, VIC imagine, to bring back even
South Carolina to loyalty.

TIE SOUTH NOT A UNIT FOR DIS
UNx0Ns

What is called the South may be divided
anto two classes, viz: negro breeding, and
negro consuming States. The first class
embrace those which raise slaycs for sale
and export, and consist Of Virginia, Mnsy-
Land, Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Missouri and Tennessee. The States which
purchase slaves are South Carolina, Gcor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisi-
ana, Arkansas and Tcxas~ The former
grow negroes, and the latter cotton. Slaves
are rapidly WON out on the cotton, sugar,
1ice aud indigo plantations, and it requires
an annual importation Of fifty thousand to
rep:e1ish them. The demand for slaves
has exceeded the supply, and as consc-
queue. the price has immensely en-
HANGED. A few years ago able bodied
slave could be bought for 500 to $500.
They now cost $1,2oo to $1,000. The cot
ton planters are opposed to paying
those prices They want cheap negroes
and abundance Of them. Africa Is the on,
II market which can supply their demands;
hence, they want the african slave trade
reopened and ali lawn prohibiting that
traffic repealed Tin free States and the
slave breeding States, resist their desires
The former on the grounds Of humanity
and morality, and 1hr latter from selfinter-
est If the slave trade should be rc-estab-
lished, the price of Virginia negroes would
fall two-thirds. A "boy~ that readily
brings the breeder: $1,000, would be slow
sale at $4oo. The price Of all tho wheat
grownin the West is regulated by the
English. market. though not gill to q
bushel Of what is raised ever finds its way
to Great Britain. So also tho price Of all
the slaves in tue slave breeding States
would come down to the African standard,
II the cotton planter could purchase car
70 at two or three hundred dollars per
head from the importer, he would not he
likely to pay the Vrginia breeder fire tines
that price for his stock :.
The free States will not permit the re-
opening of the African slave trade; there
fore the Cotton States propose to go out Of
the Union aud open that traffic On their owa
