classes who could afford to assist their poorer
neighbors who were now struggling with diff
culfies Where this had been done no pressure
had been felt. No doubt there was less cotton
coming from India, which was owing to the fears
of war with America; and ne wished 10 warn
the noble lord at the head Of the government
that no hing was more prejudcial to the trade
at Lancashire than hasty statements with re-
spect to this war and the blockade.
A statement of the noble lord the foreign sec
retary, when he expressed hope that in a few
months the Northern States would allow the
Independence of the South, had Tor time para
lived business in Lancashire by the sudden re-
ductiOn it caused in the price of yarn. The
foreign secretary was quite Ignorant OF the case
if he supposed the North would have consented
to such a course. The trade was greatly unset
tied by the reports spread abroad of the block
ade being raised, for the prices were so high and
so sensitive that a sudden change was ruin to q
person engaged in large transactions. 1t was,
therefore, highly culpable and breach OF neu
trality in the foreign secretary TO indulge IN the
remarks he had maze.
Mr.. Bagley said he had personally witnessed
the lameUtabe sutferipgs OF the working classes,
uHder distresses brought upon them by no fault
of their own, aud the constancy and herolsm
with which they had borne them. He earnestly
urged the government 10 10 al III lt5 pOH0l W

the colonies.
After some further remarks by sundry other
members, the subject dropped
THE TINES on THE DISTRESS.
The London Times, in an editorial upon the
debate relative to the distress in Lancashire,
says: 1t is, too, for the honor of the nation that
all the world should know its sacrifices in the
cause Of neutrality The cotton manufacture
suffers only from a dearth of cotton. 1t will be
supplied ere long, if not from America, from

The General Assembly of the State of Virginia
has passed bill appointing Gen. John B Floyd
msjor-general of the forces of Virginia, with
authority to- raise an army of twenty thousand
men, (non cOnscripts), specially for the d fense
of Western Virginia. 1t will be remembered
that, after the bloody and stubbornly contested
fight at Fort Donelson, and when it was decided
that the post could no longer be held against the
overwhelming odds of the enemy, Gen. Floyd,
who had resolved never to be taken prisoner, sue
ceeded in extricating himself and his brigade
from the doomed fort, just previous to the sur
render. Soon afterwards, both he and Brig
Gen. Pillow were publicly suspended by the
President from their respective commands.
Although the press and the people the Old
Dominion have, for months, been clamorOus for
the restoration of Gen. Floyd to his command,
up to this time he has not been restored
Throughout the western part of Virginia the
name of Floyd is tower of strength to the
southern cause and the Legislature of that State,
in again placing him in the field, have taken a
step, which will doubtless, go far towards in
suring the security of the important mines and
railroads of that rugged region, to conquer
which, is now the special ambition of the
precious knaye and renegade, John Charles

That Mysterious Visit Of Ihe French IIin
lister.


lister.
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th says on
this subject
We have some curious and interest ting intelli-
gence with respect to the late mysterious visit to
Richmond of Count Mercier, the French Minis
ter at Washington.
1t appears that on leaving Richmond, Count
! Mercier had no sooner reached Norfolk than he
committed dispatches addressed to his govern
ment to an express steamer lying off Norfolk,
| by which they were hastily conveyed tO a war
steamer at New York, which was already under
steam, and, having been boarded by the express
boat, Immediately started for France
The singular expedition of this transaction,
and the cir of importance given it by q number
of circumstances, had created immense seusa-
ton in the foreign diplomatic circle in that city
| We arc positively assured that, on the return
of Count Mercier to Washington, the British
Minister had duputed his Secretary TO proceed
| instantly to Annapolis and take steamer for
Norfolk, en- route to Richmond and that the
| Danish Consul had also suddenly left on an ex-
peditiOn to this city.
The impression was that Count Mercier had
taken an advantage in his mysterious trip to
Richmond, OF which event the Washington
Government was wholly unadvised, and had
laid the foundation of a treaty between France
and the Southern ConfedeTacy.
On the return of Count Aereier to Washing
ton he was called upon for an explanation by the
Federal government, through the polite medium
OF an invitation from Mr. Seward to give him
an interview. The interview lasted some eight
hours. The count had landed at the navy yard
! from French steamer which had her port holes
open.
These facts and circumstances are obtained
| from what is supposed to be al undoubtedly
reliable source of information, and we leave our
readers to make their own conjectures, without
risking our own, further than the negative opin
ion that the visit of Count Mercier to Richmond
was something more than diplomatic recon

Row in the Federal Congress.


The conservatives and abolitionists in Con
gress are having lively time, and we observ,
that the former, although few in numbers, do no
finch from meeting their opponents. A littl,
passage occurred on the 22d, in the House, be
tween Messrs. VeOrhies, of Indiana, and Kelly
of New York. We quote from the proceedings
Mr. Kelly, rising to a personal explaI alton
said he found ianguagein the Globe which he die
not yesterday hear uttered on this floor, and par
of this language was not on the notes of the re
porter. He caused the alleged inteTpOlated wordt
to be read as follows:
NJ Voorhies-Whenever the gentleman from
Pennsylvania-
Mr. Kelly do not yield to the gentleman
Mr. Voorhies-You shall yield. / denouncJ
the members statemeqt IS false, and / denounet
him as a calumniatOr
The Speaker-The gentleman from Indiana j,
out of order, and will take his seal.
Mr. Voorhees, viii allow no man to impeach
my loyalty to the government, and especially
will not allow the member from Pennsylvania
who has sigualized himself on this floor foI
nothing except for tho defense of thieves"
Mr.. Kelly, after the clerk had read the above,
said he did not hear such remarks, and they were
all noted by the reporter. The man who could
secretly interpolate language of that kind in q
public report, was = liar and scoundrel. Kisses
aud calls to order.
The speaker reminded the gentleman that ian
guage Of that kind must not be used in this hall
and addressed few words Of sesSonable advice
to the galleries for Kissing.
Mr. VOORHEES, explained that the denLal he yes
terday made was to what he considered an i'm
peachment of his (Vo0rhiesO loyalty, and not as
to the members of Buchanan's Cabinet. He ut
tered the words as printed in the Globe, nearly
all of which were found in the notes taken at the
reporters desk He did not furnish two pages,
as the member (Kelly) did, but about five words.
He made the remarks as printed, and he meant
them.
Here the matter ended.
