NEW YORK, Saturday, March 2l.-THE MARKET
in our sst report the market closed steady at 25c
for Mddling, and in Liverpool at lonal036d: Inc
week under review has been without animation as
prices here, and at all the ports have ruled 1aHd
above Liverpool. Holders have hao to contend w1tn
a weak market abroad, small spinning demand,
lower gold, and tight money market; nothwith-
standing al which, prices have not varied from 25c.
At no time this week has there been large quanti-
ty offered and at the close there was nothing press
ing. The low freight by steam has caused some
holders to send forward several lines to Liverpool
In our lust circular the stocks in the interior towns
as made up by mail to Goth February, were i,ll2
bales. We and by dispatches received from these
places yesterday that the stocks only so o32 bales
Al OSO bales decrease in three weeks. Cotton is not
coming it, from the plantations to the interior towns
as fast as during March last year.
From tae Liverpool market spinners have taken
los. 600 tales more than their consumption SINCE
January lst, and il they held $4,000 bales then they
have enough in stock to last them little over three
weeks. II they should buy 27.00O bales week their
stock would be exhausted in six week The stock,
and Cotton at sea yesterday amounts TO bales
against 9S4, 600 on March D. 1867. showing de-
crease in visible supply of 324 00O bales.

thousand dollars were depending on the result as to
which steamer should reach New York first. They
both left New Orleans and the bar about the same
hour on the goth instant, and having good weather
on the passage the race may be considered as con-
elusive as to which vessel has the most speed. The

The Irish Church Question in tho House Of
Lords.

Tho Irish Church Question in tho House Of
Lords.
The Irish Church Suspensory bill is now
the all absorbing question in the Upper House
of the British Parliament. No similar excite
ment has been witnessed since the passing OF
the first Reform bill-certainly not since the
Peel grant to Maynooth College in 1s45. Tho
tory lords seem as unteachable as ever. 1t is
not impossible that the bill may be thrown out
by the Lords; but if thrown out it will only
be to come back in still more offensive form.
The Commons are in no mood to comply with
the Lords; and the time is no longer when tho
House of Lords rule England. The stub
bornness of the tory lords promises to add to
the fun inseparable from the situation; and il
the Lords reject the bill the row will be
grander than even we had anticipated.
It requires only little more antagonism
between the different estates to fling Great
Britain into the arms of fierce revolution.
Happily for the Commons, the Reform bills arc
progressing and the result is made less doubt
full. To kick against the pricks is always q
hard thing 1t is especially so at the present
moment in the case of the tory lords of Eng
land

THE HE'LL GATE DISTRACTIONS River
and Harbor Appropriation bill is now fairly
under way in the House, several distinct mo-
tions to rccommit or postpone it having been
voted down by decisive majorities yesterday.
Among the important items, and probably the
most important in the bill, is an appropriation
for the removal of distractions in the channel
at Hell Gate; and it is to be hoped that the
bill, with this much needed appropriation, will
be pushed rapidly through until IL becomes a
law

"UNDER WHICH PRINCE ?"-The cable re-
porters in Europe announced the other day
that General Napier and Prince Alfred had
just met at Suez, and embarked In com
pany for England. We learned yesterday
from the same source that Prince Alfred
had arrived at Windsor. To-day we are told
that General Napier reached Marseilles yester-
day in war steamer, on his way to England.
This r6sums of news induces the questions,
who is the prince? where is the prince
The prince first mentioned as at Suez is, we
think, the black prince, not Of Cressy, but
from Nagdala.

Threo Per Cont.

Loans can be had at three per cent on call
in Wall street, and there is supply of money
in excess of the demand, while the best COM
mercial paper is scarce and wanted at five to
six per cent In other words, there is Q
plethora Of unemployed money. We see a
similar state of things to that which has existed
for some time, and still exists, In England.
Money there has been 80 low as one per cent,
and now can be had at two per cent. It
is much the same In Paris. Like causes pro-
duce similar effects. Money accumulated to q
vast amount in the banks of England and
France because capitalists had become afraid
to invest In speculative enterprises after the
collapse Of several great railroad and
other schemes. Panic and excessive
timidity followed the failure of Sir
Morton Peto and others in England just
the same as they did some years
ago the failure Of Hudson, another great rail-
road king. New York, like London or Paris,
is Q great financial centre, to which money
flows, where It accumulates whenever specula-
tive enterprises receive check or people
become afraid of investing in anything that Is
not perfectly safe In the regular course of
trade.
We have had no great panic or collapse, 1t
is true; but the low rate of interest and
abundance of unemployed capital here arise
in part from a similar cause to that in
England at the period referred to. Capital
lists are timid and in state of uncertainty.
With all our vast resources waiting to be de-
veloped, and with the farest promise Of profit
able returns for capital invested In them,
there is doubt and want of confidence. This
is especially the case with regard to the South
where there is so much need of capital and
where there Is more undeveloped wealth than
in any other part of the country or the world
People do not know what absurd or ruinous mea-
sures our incapable and reckless Congress may
pass they cannot see their way clear in the
future they are like men at sea without q
rudder to guide them on their way Nothing
Is settled. The country is not restored to har-
mony and political equality; the finances are
not adjusted; taxation, the tariff and revenue
laws are not in fixed or organized condition
and are In the hands Of men who do not know
what TO do with them. Then we cannot tell
whether we are going 70 have civil law and

the old constitutional government restored, or
to sink either under military despotism or .
Congressional oligarchy. In fact, we do not
know from day to day what strange things
Congress may do or what the future may bring
forth. There may be some other and lesser
causes operating to induce this plethora Of
capital and low rate of interest-as the current
of trade and money at this particular season
Of the year and largo disbursements from the
Treasury; but the main cause is that which ws
have stated. If the country were restored,
the finances placed on solid basis, the tariff,
tax and revenue laws generally were well or
ganized and established, and the Presidential
election settled in manner to secure tho
supremacy of constitutional government over
the whole country there would be such wide
field and demand for money that we should ne
longer see interest at the low rate of thres
per cent.

lesson. A little wisdom in council might
have averted all the trouble Of the sixteenth

Tho Tax and Tariff Bills Before Consross.
The House Of Representatives acted
promptly on the Tax bill reported by Mr.
Schenck, and then from the Committee of the
Whole and it now waits the final action Of the
Senate. 1t is thought there will be no change
in the tax on spirits, which is fixed by the
House at fifty cents gallon and probably
there will be little if any change made in the
tax on tobacco in its various FORMS There may
be- however, some modification in the details
of the bill. The tax on the business of bank
ing and bankers remains as it is, though no
business is better able to bear taxation, and
none has greater privileges and profits. The
banking interest was powerful In resisting tax
alton, and succeeded in defeating all PROPOSE
tions to increase the tax or add new taxes
The tariff men are intensely active in urging
Congress to take up the tariff question again
this session. although it has been postponed
till next December. Considering the activity
and influence of these men, it is not unlikely
that they may succeed in getting reconsider
alton of this matter, and that bill may be re-
ported covering some articles in the schedule
This sort of piecemeal legislation is the way
ofdoing business with Congress, and the lobby
knows how to confuse and work upon that
body for the benefit of class and individual in
terests. We despair of ever seeing any broad
and comprehensive system Of legislation on the
tariff, taxation or the finances while this Con-
gress is in existence.
