Great Britain.

London, September 23.-The Times
to-day has an editorial on the present
condition of affairs in France. 1t says
If the Emperor is now recovered, his
conduct cannot be easily accounted for.
The new Constitution may now be re-
garded as already virtually in vigor'
granting amnesty, tolerance extended to
the press, every circumstance contri-
butes to foster the impression that a
new era has dawned; yet the Emperor
remains inactive, as if he considered
everything done. Meanwhile, public
opinion demands the convocation OF the
Legislative body. Uneasiness at the
delay causes some meIabers to contem-
plate the invasion Of their own pre-
misses next month with the view OF de-
liberating without the consent OF the
Executive. No one, however, expects
a resort to such extremes. The legality
of the Emperor's conduct, in allowing
six months to elapse between tho disso-
Luton and accommodation of the Cham
bors, depends on technical bubble.
Although the Legislative Body separa-
ted before it was constituted, still it
had given formal signs OF lis existence
by several divisions.
The Times, in an article on the cot
ton supply, says: Ashworth and
Bright, by different methods, arrive at
the same end, viz: that nothing is wan
ted but cotton. More cotton would
start the mills, dispel distress and sill
enee the clamors against free trade. OF
this we are not sure, but we arc we'll
aware that the prostration of industry
in Lancashire demands attention. Cot
ton is dear because it is scarce. Why
scarce? The crop of the Southern
States, with considerable con signments
from other points, has enormously in
creased the supply. If less cotton ar
rives at Liverpool, we must investigate
the cause. 1t would be safer to say
that Lancashire suffers from loss of trade
more than from the dearness and scar
city of cotton. The demand for goods
is less than it formerly was. 1fhmeri-
cans would take our manufactures as
freely as we take their corn and cotton,
the industry would be entirely ours. and
the supply of material theirs. 1t is
not improbable the protective tariffs of
other countries are answerable in some
degree for the depression in Lancashire.
1t is certain that in this case cheap cot
ton will not remedy the sufferings of
the loss Of the market. Our manufac-
lures formerly commanded the world.
They were better and cheaper than
those of other countries. What is to be
done, now that. people refuse to buy in
the cheapest market? Without free
trade, manufacturing excellence loses
its value. If trade is bad in consequence
of the restrictions of other countries,
scarcity of abundance is immaterial.
Without doubt Lancashire suffers be-
cause other countries refuse to trade
freely with us. To attempt to relieve
her suferings by refusing to trade freely
with them would be absurd.

The state Eebt.
For the Wig.

For the Wing.
For four years the creditors of Vir-
ginia have quietly acqniesced in the
practical Reputation Of one-third of
her debt. Virginia has been bound
hand and foot, and they know it. We
trust that one of the first acts of her
Legislature, after her freedom is restor>
ed, will be to l'uk after West Virgin
las conduct as to her just proportion of
the debt. Is the creation of new
State out of part of the territory of an
old one to become the shift by which
one-third Of the people of the old State
are to be permitted to escape their just
liabilities Will Congressseonnive at
this sort of reputation by permitting
it to be thus cffected7 These are grave
questions, and we trust the day is APP
preaching when they will be met. And
when tie old State will have the aid of
Congress ii necessary to compel West
Virginia to do what is right, Virginia
bonds, instead OF being forty-six in
one hundred, would seon rise to eighty
five or ninety. ALPHA.

Complete that water line on scale
commensurate with its Importance.
Thus commercial highway to the sea
would be secured. The Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad would supplement the wa

Cincinnati would "stand without rival

the Chesapeake Bay, between the heart
Of the Mississippi Valley and the whole
of Western and Central Europe"
Such is the programme for the future

Address to the IrishmGn Of the
United States.

The executive committee at St. Louis
having in charge the affairs connected
with the National Irish immigration
Convention have issued tho following
brief address to the Irishmen of the
United States:
"The national convention called by
the delegates from the various States
will meet in st. Louis on the 9th of Oc-
tober. Its object is to ameliorate the
condition of the Irish emigrant in this
free land of his adoption. To secure
this it is designed to encourage him to
settle upon and till the vast unoccupied
fertile lands of the great West, and to
remove him and his family from the
moral contamination and poverty con-
sequent upon residence in the great
cities. .sa.
"The gentlemen who originated and
who are endeavoring to carry out this
benevolent project are actuated only by
disinterested motives. They have re-
ceived the approval of a large number
of the distinguished prelates and clergy,
as we'll as that of many of the promi-.
nent layman of the Union. tits, there
fore, hoped that all to whom the success
of the cause is dear will interest them
selves so far as to see that their city and
State are represented. This hope is ex-
pressed particularly to the Irishmen of
the Eastern and Middle States, and even
more especially to those residing in the
great State of New York. The number
Of delegates is not limited for any city
or State"

TESTIMONY FOR THE SoUTH.-Mrs.
B. Waddinger, lady of high social
position and much intelligence, from
Hanover, Germany, has recently made
a tour of observation through tho
South. Her purpose was to determine
in behalf of herself and others, the
question of removal to America, and her
impressions are communicated in let
ter to the Memphis Appeal, from which
the following extract is taken:
The opinion entertained previous to
my visit that the Southern States were
in many respects far better adapted to
the wants of my countrymon than the
Northwest has been fully confirmed,
and shall not fail to so advise them of
their interest in the matter, and to use
whatever influence may be able to ex-
ert, both among my friends in Germany
as we'll as those in the States north and
west of yours, in giving such directions
to emigration.

CAUSE.

A Mr.. Tyner, residing in johnson
county, died last Friday from a very
singular cause. He was engaged In
stacking some fodder, when he was bit
ten ON the face, near the corner OF the
right eye, by some reptile or insect.
Great pain Immediately ensued, and a
physician was sent for; but before he ar
rived the sufferer was insensible, and
despite every remedy employed he
died within nine hours after he was
bitten.
Our informant states that MIR. Iynel
was of opinion that the bite was irom
striped lizard; but the physician
thought it was inflicted by a spider

The Pittsburg papers give the par-
ticulars of the explosion at the Stan
dard Oil Refinery, a few miles from that
city, on Wednesday. 1t appears that a

bursted, blowing its iron top into rag
ged fragments, throwing the hot fluid
over the adjacent ground, and causing
severe injuries to seven men who were
employed some yards distant. The
loss is estimated at fifteen thousand dol
lars--no insurance.
