DESTRUCTION OF THE COTTON INTEREST.
The London FTnanc,er says the uneasy feel
ing has been revived regarding the position of
affairs in the iron and cotton districts and in
the Eastern trade An Oldham correspondent
Of the Daily Ners says:-"It is generally sup
posed that there will be an endeavor, after the
annual holiday in August, to bring the short time
movement under something like regular system.
The cooperation of all will be sought Even
the masters admit that it would be absurd to
seek remedy for the depression by calling
upon the operatives to submit to further re-
duction of wages. The published accounts of
the Oldham limited companies show that hardly
any of them have made any profit for the last
two years, and with some the adverse
balance is so heavy, that even with good
trade it is almost impossible for them to make
a profit perhaps for years to come. In limited
companies alone f2,OOO,OOO of capital have
been lying unproductive for three years. A
hundred and twenty thousand pounds of debt,
in, thn vns'
wages, mills running short time or closed, nrl-
merous failures, n decrease of fifty per cent in
the value of house property-these are some of
the leading facts connected with the history of
the Oldham cotton trade"
THE IRISH UNIVERSITY BILL
The debate in the House of Commons on the
Irish University Education bill ON Thursday
night shows that the governments proposal SO
to amend the bill to provide by an annual
vote for exhibitions, prizes, scholarships and
fellowships similar to those of the London Uni
versity, is generally accepted rs calculated to
lead to settlement of the question on
satisfactory basis. Mr.. William Shaw,
the home rule leader and member for
the county of Cork, though moving an amend
ment that no measure would be satisfactory that
did not provide increased facilities for collegiate
education, made an exceedingly moderate
speech, declaring that the only further conces-
sion he asked for was the payment of result fees
to the Catholic colleges principle similar to
that of the intermediate Education act. Mr..
Goschen liberal, member for London, pointed
out that this statement reduced the differences
between the Irish members aud the govern
ment to so small point that he hoped
the golden opportunity for settlement would
not be lost. On the liberal side of the House
there was every disposition to assist in that set
Element Mr. w. T.. Gladstone considered the
bill inadequate, but said he would cooperate rs
far rs possible with the Irish members. Mr..
Shaw's amendment was rejected division by
o vote of 257 to 90. but it is generally con-
sidercd that it was merely moved us matter of
form.
PROBABLE ApPEAL TO THE COUNTRY
The Marquis of Harrington, the liberal leader
In the House of Commons, who is on an cleo
tionecring tour in northeast Lancashire, adj
dressed q large meeting of electors ut Over
Darwen. His speech was merely u repetition
of the indictment of the foreign policy of the
government. The only point of interest was an
expression of n belief that general election is
imminent. lie could scarcely imagine the gov
eminent would wish to meet the present Parlia-
ment again.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
In the House of Commons yesterday Mr..
Stanhope, Under Secretary of State for India,
moved that the House go into committee on the
East India Loan bill. Sir George Campbell of

States to fix a standard calculated to steady the
value of the precious metals, India undertaking
TO continue free coinage of silver if the United
States do likewise. The bill was talked out
