THE COTTON SUPPLY.
The Times in an article on the cotton sup
ply, says Mr.. Ashworth and Mr.. Bright, by diff
ferent methods, arrive at the same end, name
ly, that nothing is wanted but cotton. More
cotton would start the mills, dispel distress and
silence clamors against free trade OF this we
are not sure, but we are we'll aware that the
prostratiOn of industry in Lancashire demands
attention. Cotton is dear because it is scarce
Why scarce? The crop of the Southern States,
with considerable consignments from other
points, has enormously increased the supply.
Ii less cotton arrives, Liverpool must investi-
gate the cause. 1t would be safe to say that
Lancashire suffers from the loss of trade more
than from the dearness and scarcity of cotton.
The demand for goods is less than it formerly
was. If Americans would take our manufac-
lures as freely as We take their corn and cotton,
industry would be entirely material to theirs.
1t is not improbable that the protective tariff
of other countries are answerable in some de-
gree for the depression in Lancashire. It is
certain that in this case cheap cotton will not
remedy the suffering; the loss of the market
is not material. Our manufactures formerly
Commduucu tuc WOTlus 1Qey W6ro D6lCer and
cheaper than those of other countries. What
is to be done now that the people refuse to buy
in the cheapest markets. Without free trade
manufacturing excellence loses its value. If
trade is bad in consequence of restrictions of
other countries, the scarbity or abundance of
cotton is immaterial. Without doubt Lanca-
shire suffers because other countries refuse to
trade freely with us. To attempt to relieve her
sufferings BY refusing to trade freely with them
would be absurd.

The Monde says the letter iustifies the fears
which have long been entertained in regard to

French church since the middle ages. The
Patrie declares that the independent language
and courageous tones of his sermons demand
attention, and have drawn on the preacher the

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-Evening chief feature
of Wall street to-day were the excitement In the
Geld room and continued stringency in Money. The
transactions in Gold were on scale of magnitude
without precedent In the history OF the room, and
enormous fluctuations during the day were so at
tractfve to the general of spectators that the
departments of Wall street preserved a compare
lively quiet aspect. The rise to-day based par
TALLY the expected recognition Of the Cuban in

market was very stringent throughout the day, and
in the afternoon tho dealings in Money in Broad
street revived. The rates paid were per cent.
and commission OF /, and per cent, while to
per cent paid for turning stocks below par, and
to per cent. for high priced stocks. These rates

The following highly interesting story is
from the New York Sun:
A young man from an adjoining State,
who has recently been rescued from q score
of hungry creditors, sand who still has a
credit at. his bankers Of about 100000,
but who not long ago was in reduced cir
cumstances and obliged to live in retire
ment on Staten Island, makes the follow
ing solution Of his sudden acquisition Of a
competency. The gentleman Holt by
uame-was residing in one OF the iashioha-
BILE hotels on Staten Island. He was ex-
| trenfely down-heartell. This vas tue rea-
son of his low spirits. About two years
ago he had married a very handsome wo-
man on whom he fairly doated At that
time he had $4,000 in cash. Soon after
the nuptial ceremony Holt removed to this
| city, and became broker on Wall street.
| He was too honest to succeed there. The
bulls and bears gored and tore him--finan-
cially, and in less than o twelvemonth be
had not dollar left. Disguised, lie re
tired with as good grace as possible, leav-

wife and child he went to the country, aud
| finally, MS before stated, settled down in a
hotel on Staten Island. His wife had
some means, and she gave it freely for the
support, of the family.
About two weeks ago, late in one hot
afternoon, a gentleman drove up to the
hotel where Holt was living, aud grufffy
asked if there was boy there who would
| hold his horse. Il will'do il, SIR" said Mr..
Holt, and no did hold the animal during
the time consumed by the elderly gentle
men in obtaining his dinner.
A few days later the same gentleman
driving the same horse, stopped at the
same hotel, and hunted for a boy again to
hold his horse. No boy being present
Holt again volunteered. He held the
horse until the hoy came to take the ami
mai to the stable, and then retired within
the hotel to dress for dinner. Mrs. Hol,
had way Of making her husband get him
