MEMPHIS AND PARIS.


as much of the position, standing and
prospects of their city as thousands Of
foreigners do, the hum OF industry, the
rush and roar Of manufactures, and the
cheerful confidence that accompanies as
sured prosperity, would be ours to-day.
Ghent iu Belgium, Marseilles and Ly-
Ons in France, have all offered us the
most friendly advances, and asked to
form with US the closest mercantile con-
nection; and now comes Paris, the
queen city Of the, universe, and seeks to
enter into business engagements Of the
most advantageous character with us.
Are our citizens alive to what is doing?
Are they prepared to profit by what is
within their reach, and to interweave
trade, relations that offer the,most favor
able vent for our staple to go on the
Paris market as freely as 1t now
does on the, New York market, but
winning the profit that Liver
pool secures when she sells American
cotton TO the continent? Mr.. Bsyliss il
doing noble work for Memphis in the
great metropolitan city of the world,
will our cotton exchange, our chamber
Of commerce, and our merchants and
citizens at large, back up his efforts with
all their might, seize on the opportunity
that gentleman has been the means Of
opening, and secure the future great
nei Of Memphis by spsring no effort to
insure success to the bold and earnest
effort he is now making in Paris? The
following, from one Of the principle
trade organs of Paris, will show what
Mr.. Bayliss ia engaged in, and what a
grand advantage Memphis has within
it's grasp, if her people have the nerve,
pluck, energy and perseverance to &C.
cure the golden opportunity while it
ofiirs. We translate the following from
cur PArisian n,cotemporary:
On Monday last, June 2Slh, the Gen.
trail committee Of the Syndicsl cham

that may have most happy influence
upou the importing and exporting pOr-
tion Of French commerce. The central
committee, as is well known, is COM
posed Of the presidents Of one hundred
and twenty syndicsl chambers tor cham

most important branches Of Parisian
trade and commerce. The committee
hsd twice previously had its attention
called by Monsieur Earrenc, who resides
at Vincennes, to the projected Organizs-
zion of an international chamber of COM
nerce-a project originating with HIM
seIf and at which he has been laboTing
for a number Of years. At length the
nroposition has assumed shape. The
delegate invited by him to visit Paris
with the object OF participating In the
ration OF the chamber in question,
asse,1bled on Monday last. Among
Them was Mr.. B. Bayliss, delegste
from the chamber OF commerce Of Men,
