day has an editorial on the situation
of affairs in France. 1t says
IF the Emperor is now recovered. |.
his conduct cannot be easily account
ed for. The new constitution NAV be
regarded as virtually, in vigor, the
granting of amnesty and tolerance ex-
tended to the present. Every cir
eumstauce tends to foster the eony7c-
tion that new era has daWned. Yet
the Emperor remains Inactive, as
though he considered everything q
defect in the public demand of the
legislative body. This uneasiness
causes some of the members to con-
template the invasion of their own
premises next month, with the view
of deliberating without the consent of
the executive. No one, however, ex-
poets a resort to such extremes. The
legality of the Emperor 8 conduct in
allowing six months to elapse between
the dissolution and rs7eeaFoeation Of
the Chambers depends on a technical
bubble, although the legislative body
separated before it was constituted;
still it had given formal signs Of its
existence by several divisions.
LONDON, September Q. Lord

The Times, in an article on the. cot
ton supply. says: Dir. Ashworth and
Mr.. Bright, by differeut.meth0ds,a ar
rive at the same end. namely: that
nothing IS wanted bull more cotton.
More cotton would starr the mills and
silence the clamors against free trade.
of this we are not sure, but we are
we'll aware that the pros stratI9n of in
dustry in Lancashire demands atten-
ton. Cotton is dear, beeaase 1T is
scarce, Why .scarce?- The. crop of
the Southern States, with considera-
Bile consignments from other points,
has enormously increased the supply.
IT less cotton arrives in Liver
pool We must investigate the cause. 1t
would be safer to say that Lancashire
suffers from the loss of trade more
than from dullness and scarcity of
cotton. The demand FIR goods is
less than il formerly was. If the |
Americans would take our manufac-
lures as freely as we take their cot
ton and corn, tie industry would be |
entirely ours. aud the supply of ma
terial theirs. 1t is not improbable |
that the protective tariffs Of other
are ansWerable in some de-
gree for the depression in Lanca-
shire. 1t is certain that in this case
cheap cotton will not remedy the |
suffering. The loss Of the market Is
not material. Our manufactures
commanded the world, and they were
better aud cheaper than these Of
other countries. What is to be done |
now that the people refuse 70 buy in
the cheapest market? Without free
trade manufacturing loses its value.
IF trade is bad in consequence Of the
restrictions Of other countries, the
scarcity or abundance of cotton is i'm
material. Without doubt Lancashire
suffers because other countries refuse
to trade with US freely. To attempt
to relieve her by refusing to trade
freely with them would be absurd:

PARIS, Sept. 23.-The religious

of Peri Hyaeinth. The Monde says
the letter justifes fears which have
long been entertained In regard to

that the independent language and
courageous tone of his sermons at
traeted much attention. and have
drawn on the preacher the condemna-
ton of his superiors.
