The New York Herald notices the arrival Ii
that city OF about fifty Hungarian immigrants
who. having landed at PHILADELPHIA In desti-
tute condition. were shipped to New York BY
the pious people of the City of Brotherly Love,
after having been refused food and otherwise
badly treated. The immigrants are from the
neighborhood Of Preschow. Hungary. They
were driven from their homes by the famine,
and 10 save themselves from actual starvation

THE DUTY on COTTON MAcHrNxRr.
The proposal to repeal all duties on cotton
machinery is strongly opposed By Gen. Robert
Patterson. OF Philadelphia. who IL said to be the
largest individual manufacturer In the United
States, having extensive interests In eleven DIFF
ferent cotton and wooden mills He thinks that
enactment OF such bill % the one introduced
In Congress- would cause great and permanent
disaster to the American machine works, and
TO the cotton manufacturers themselves. a. the
parties really benefited would be the English
manufacturers Of textile machinery. The re-
moval Of the protection to American produce
ton would In short time enable the English
to control tho market and ask what they
pleased after the Americans had been crushed
by inability to compete ct living prices. Gen.
Patterson says the Americans make the best ma
ohinery to be found anywhere and that he has
sold oil the English machinery In his several
mills for what he could get and replaced 1t
with the product OF Pennsylvania manufac.
turing company. and In consequence has saved
