The Times has another article to-day
on the cotton trade and the supply. 1t
says there was time when the intelli-
gence Of q good supply Of cotton in the
United States caused satisfactory assur-
ances to the manufacturers and workmen
of Lancashire; but the sudden distrac-
ton of the old cotton trade has been
attended with the distraction of the old
condition of things, and they are ne
longer as they were, though the cotton
supply has come back again. New fields
and factories have been opened, some
under the shelter of protection, and some
in a more natural atmosphere. The
most extensive demands for the raw

person told more palpable truth, and
when the first flush of Indignation SUBJ
sides, all will thank the author and pub
Usher for telling the truth. Mrs Stowe
unveiled secret carefully guarded by
few, and restored virtue and vice TO their
proper places, and in future it will be re-
membered that by her courage there is
one less imposter in the world"
