1.-THE portion of the British people who will be the
greatest sufferers by the CONFUSION which Is shaking
society and disturbing all the peaceful pursuits Of indus
ry in the United and the Confederate states Of America
that which resides in the northwestern district OF Eng
land consisting OF Lancashire and Cheshire and in the
western district of Scotland in and around the flourish
ing city Of Glasgow These Districts not only hnd IN the
northern aud southern States the bes, markets for the
products Of their industry in common with the whole OF
the mining and manufacturing districts Of Engand, but
thew also derive from the Southern Safes much the
greater portion OF their supply Of cotton aud tobacco
and from the northern States large, not the largest
portion Of their supplies OF grain Hour aud provisions
In addition these commercial relations the ports OF the
Mersey and the Clyde interested 20 great extent IN
the shipping trade OF the Atlantic, which is placed III
considerable peril by the blockade OF the Southern ports
and by the issuing vi letters Of marque, which will soon
cover the with pTva;eers, who at the beat are
only one degree removed from pirates. Lancashire and
the west OF Scotland, containing between them popu-
latoa of least 100000 inhabitants are thus deeply
effected only produceri but as consumers and as
ship owners by the civil which has broken out be-
tween the people of the Northern and the Southern
States Ii REQUIRES much greater sagacy than pos

the evils that may be involved in this terrible conflict"

HOW TIKI AMERICAN CRISIS OPERATES Of BRITISH TRADE
Manufacturers and shippers at present do no: know
what to TO The American crisis IL oyershadowing
our industry. The whole Of the cotton trade is involved
in uncertainty in an especial degree. We do not kuo~
whether the usual aud necessary quantity Of cotton will
be grown; and it be grown do not know whether
il will be permitted to reach We do not know yet
whether there is really to be in America. Every
thing it is true points in that direction, but in the cot

change there general disposition DO business PRIV
cpay because the idea has continued 10 float through
mems minds that the American dhsuy after all that has
been said aud DONE may prove susceptible OF settlement
by other means than that of long and desoating civil
war. Then every pictures to himself the immense
effect that would be produced even the mere pros
pect of arrangement TO be opened How great would
DC the eec; upon the price Of cotton? What merchant
eau bestir himself boldly in ordering supplies from India
and other regions long there chance OF the
ground being cut from under his feet? What would be
the cons quence on the vslre of money, upon the bull
lion movement gluted as the New York banks are with
golds What rebound there would be in all kinds of
public securities, home. foreign and American.
