A prayer meeting at John Aliens
dance house in New York, the other
day, called out the following remarks
from the denizens of that locality, as re-
ported by the Sun:

dy-looling pickpocllet, "if you don't let
it interiors with your principles and spoil
your business

where she earns her bread of shame.
This occurrence threw a damp on the
feelings of the crowd, and not word
was spoken until a merry young vaga-

porter, who was toiling along with q
large demijohn in each hand, and cried
out in shrill tones.

| MANUFACTURING IN THE SOUTH
AND WEsT.-Among the changes
which are likely to result from
the late conflict between the North
and the South, those of a com
mercial and manufacturing char
acter promise to be the most con
spicuous. Before the war the
natural course of business was to
send cotton from the South to
the Northern Atlantic cities for
the purpose of being manufacture
ed or re-shipped to Europe, receiv-
ing in return such goods as the
planting States consumed. Now
the tendency is to IocaIize the
business OF the South-to produce
here all the manufactured goods
required for home consumption,
and send the surplus direct to
such foreign markets as may be
in need Of them. AS a symptom
of this introyerSiOn of trade, it
may be noted that between sew
enty and eighty cotton mills are
now in process Of erection in the
Southern States, besides sundry
wollen ones-all tending to the
change in trade and business to
which we have adverted. Nor is
this tendency confined to the
South solely; but seems to be
actuating the people of the West
ern States also. There, too, in
creased attention manufacturing
enterprises is manifested, promis-
ing changes in commercial affairs
not anticipated ten years since.
These have been expedited in the
South by the late conflict in arms:
while in the West they are the re-
suit of views antagonistic to those
entertained by the manufacturers
OF the Atlantic States.
