Itself The cotton trade of England is so
depressed, that much of the capital that
Is ordinarily employed in spinning is now
compelled to seek other means OF employ
ment. Nor Is the cotton trade the only
department in which ianguor exists. The
woolen, hardware, and even the coal and
iron trades have been much less active
while the declining prices of gram have
slacAened the inquiry for capital On this
side of the Atlantic a similar want Of con-
hdence operates very rrejudiciaily to enter

Is for the most part without profit Ex~
tremc taxes and the high cost of subsist-

to adopt measures of economy and to buy
little besides what is absolutely needed.

the family of prominent citizen named

safest. but, when people will eat it, it
should be cooked in the most thorough
manner.

xation in this place, has received number
OF breech- loading rifles, of the MEHAN
patent This style of rifle is of a new
kind, recently invented by Mr.. MEHAN, cd
itor of the New York Irish Amrican, and
its force of execution can be judged when
it is stated that twenty rounds per minute
can be discharged from it. The beauty of
finish and mechanism of the gun cannot be
excelled-but no doubt it will speak for
itself whenever opportunity offers.

In spite of the notoriety gained by the
Prus,ian needle gun and the French chas
scpot rife. it is said that the United States
Is in advance Of other nations in the man

of this the following facts are given, which
are certainly significant: The Remiug on,
Peabody, Winchester, Spencer, Cot, and
Sharpe gun factories arc constantly cnsGs>
ed in supplying European governments.
One manufacturing Erm has just delivered
40 900 rifles to the Danish government
and 80 900 to the Swedish, having still a
contract on hand to furnish -, 600 Of the
same sort to the Greeks Another firm
has just delivered 10000 rifles to the Gu
ban government, to kc used against the
insurrectionists, while still another has
contracted to make 80 600 breech -loadcre

General Butler on the Alabama
Claims.

General BUTLER is preparing a state
ment of his views up,n our relations with
England, which differs from Mr.. SUMNER S
in that it makes the building, escaping
and sheltcring of the alabama and other
rebel cruisers original acts of hostility in
stead of incidents of the recognition Of the
belligereDcy of the confedracy. He also
tn inks that we weaken our cause by COM
planning of Great Britain Sympathy with
the rebellion, az we are ourselves strong
believers in the right of revolu ion. He
however, arrives at the same conclusion as
Mr. SUMNER, that there must be atone
ment and repa!ation" ''As to settling
with England" he says "We can wait.
Whenever she gets into war we can easily
swoop her commerce from the ocean, and
substitute our own in it's place. In the
meantime we hold her under perpetual
bonds to keep the peace to the amount of
interest she has in commerce and manufac-
lures. We thus reduce her to third rate
power, because all Lations know that she
dare not be provoked into war. Therefore,
as long as she stands in her present atti-
tude with US, she has no commanding po-
sition in the politics of Europe"
