THE SECEsSIoxusrs IN ENGLAND.

From the Iorsa1 Cerrespsldenca Of the N J. TiEles.
The news oe the battle Of Bull Run fell IKE
q Rnark on gunpowdeT among the SscesSont5t
agents here, dLd startled them iLto a super
natural activity. While our credit sinks like
lead, these busy hands are writing money
articles for the Times, and pumping their ideas
into the brain Of that JouinaFs city oracle
They are in the markets all ossr the country
bidding furiOu,iv against our government for
arms, and as seems to be thought, not without
success They have got mCn7Y-Teady money
of that there can be no doubt, though from
whom, and at what awful Discount, do not
undertake even to guess. They are ssnguine
as ever of recognition, and very likely have
their reasons for being 60. Nor is al this the
worst.
Within the last few da7s, it fs rumored that
'hev have succeeded in eqnPpinE and sending
OF an armed steamer with eGCgo Of arms
has been for some time past quietly receiTing
its stores, under the direction Of Liverpool
drm In he American trade. OF the psrtlcu-
lars Of this affair I an not Informed; but il is
ssld, still further, that the British government,
when called upon to prevent the departure Of
the vessel, declined to iaterfers-oR what
grounds have not heard.
II these stories are true, and whether hey
are 90 OF not mus soon be knoEn, all talk Of
and all the talk OF the English press s5oat cur
tngrstilute, win receive qpie,us
But even If the story we're noy true, it must
soon become so, for there Is more than one
armed vessel tt-irg out It British ports, and
intended to be run under the British fag TIL
they have escaped the blockade and land their
csrgoss. Then they viii bscSms ships-of-

tbs COTTON SUPPLY.
Hitherto, India has only sent us some seven
per csut. OF cotton, other parties eight per
cent, and the United States supplied The re-
mander-eighfy-dgs PER cent. THIS year To-
diS sends a mnch larger proportion, hut by NO
means what We might expect, considering hoW
earnestly and urgently the subject has been
pressed on the attention OF the authortties dur
inc the last ten OF twelve years.
The three great cotton fields in our possess
sion are India, Queensland aud the island Of
Jsmtict, the latter formerly p-odu-ing cotton
os very fns staple, and which could produce it
Egain IL the necessary Stimulus were spilled.
Il wss toward THE field t1st ils spiBueFs of
Manchester and she manufacturing districts
ought to have directed their s-lsution when
they first began 10 enterJsin fears respecting
an almost exclusive dependence on the Amer
icsn supply. TIE island wants too requisites
more capital and more labor.
Il is In the power Of the cotton intsrest in
England TO furnlsh both, and tasn Jsnsics
would possess advantages greater than either
india or Queensland. Ia the frat place, its
more imnedists proximity 70 the mother cOUE-
try is q very important tssturs and second,
the meGns OF transit, though not always 50
good and Tspid as may be desired, are far in
advance OF the other sources OF supply refer
r-d %. We believe that the immigration OF
coolie labor into J<malcE has been improving
recently, but this ID a subject % which he at
isnJion II the Manchester tlanufsctuTers may
be direcl ed with advantage. This mvcb, az al
events, /. certain, that If Jsmsicg had had the
same attention bestowed upOa it Ia the way Of
cotton producing that India has had, the re-
suits would have been on a much larger and
more satisfactory scale.
