      The Proposed New Cottok Company (Limitbi...

      that a foreign source , for its raw material ? To his own knowledge , most excellent cotton could be had from India- ^ cotton as good as fro m the United States . We had more land in British , possessions capable of ; producing abundance of cotton than any other country . TheAmericans , by their extraordinary energy , would probably receive in the coming year not less than fifty millions sterling for an industry which had originated in imported labour applied to a plant that was not indigenous . Surely the som of England could do what their friends and . relatives had done across the Atlantic . It was not a mere question of philanthropy or patriotism , but a question of interest , that the spinners of this could themselves withcotton

      and manufacturers country supply , abundantly from other parts of the world at as cheap a rate , and as good a quality , as from . America or any other foreign source whatever , At present the cotton , received from British India was as in good condition as that from the TTnited States—so greatly had the supply from the latter source been depreciated in the last year or two by adulteration with sand . We should receive a more legitimate , and probably more extensive return trade from India than from any other country . Our consumption of cotton in the course of a very few years would probably be 50 , 000 bags per week * and there was ample room for the operations of twenty such companies as the one now proposed . that the draft embodied in the

      A resolution was adopted , prospectus circular calling the meeting be approved ; that the company be _ considered as formed when one-half the proposed capital was subscribed ; and that the following gentlemen be requested to act as provisional directors : —Messrs .

      Record Of The Week. Home And Coiioisrial...

      RECORD OF THE WEEK . Home and coiiOisriAL . The Italian eventualities had little influence da the Money Market as last week closed , the final prices of Consols being 93 £ to 3-8 . The bullion iri the Bank was greater than at the termination of the preceding week , being £ 16 j 23 S , 262 . Indeed , the favourable state of harvesting prospects , due to the continued fine weather , kept lip a beneficial influence oh thei monetary relations of the week ; The harvest was in great part secured up to the end of the last week , in the metropolitan and southern counties ; and in the north , particularly in tlie Lothian ? of Scotland , things were uppn an equally favourable footing ; though the s eason , as a matter of course , is , later than in the former localities .. It is expected that , upon the whole the yield will bo about

      the ayefago in quantity and ; quality . During the current weot the weather has . noti throughout been so favourable j still , as we writej , the sun is shining brightly , with a ^ rospect of continuance . Neither the wet with , which the week opened , nor foreign , " eventualities , " have operated to depress the money market to any appreciable extent ; for instance ,-at inid-week Consols were at 93 , j to 3-8 , while Railway and other securities were iii a very satisfactory state , -... ' . ¦¦ jn the jhjitter of the Iielmshpre Railway collision , the jury returned a verdict equivalent to one of accidental death , They find th ^ t * the deaths pf the ten persoms resulted from a collision occasioned by a fracture of tine eovew coupling , and side chains , " but state they have "ho evidenbe to show tao cause of such fracture . " They also find " that the amount pf break power , and the number of guards werp _ insufficient 3 and reepmmoha tl ^ ecpmpany to carry put the suggestions

      of OplpnelYolland in hjs ovidonoe botbre the coroner . " . Among the deaths pf liiat week was that pf Mr . David Jardine , the police magistrate . He had been / for somo . thno past a suffe . rei' from asthma , ^ his week we have to reoord the 4 eafc h of Mr . Joseph Locke , M . P .,. President of the Institution of Civil Engineers , which occurred on Tuesday , at MoftUt , Duinfrieshire . In the obituary of foreign notabilities , we find the demise pf Prinoe Milosoh of Sorvia- ¦ k The Savoy chapel wob found to be on fire on Sunday inernings but tho flames wore extinguished without the edifice being destroyed ) ooii " sideimblo repairs , however , will bo necessary . At JCihgston , in Upper Canada , there has l > een a ' scene , " introduced by tho Orange " sapors''' intp the hig hly successful drama pf the " Prihpo ' s Prpgross , on Royalty in the Colonies . " It seems the

      Orange-men determined to give emphatic , expression , to tlieir peculiar oroteliots > and to that end went about coating an arch , and , making preparations for a prbcoa & ipn , those being , ib seems , tho modes whereby Orango ideas can alone bo adequately made manifest and intelligible , This , "idea , " hpweverj appears to have been spmewhat ?• greon'f as well as orange , " and to have ultimately been " done " of a •» frrown " oolour , for the V demonstration" was whatMr , T . Oarlyle would call * f s ^ uelched , ^ by the IPririoe having doblinqd td land . The Priheo arrived , at Toronto on tho 7 th , when the rooeRtioh " ho met with is eaid to havp oxpoofled in magnifiopneo and loyalty anything of tho kind previously witnessed in tho cpuwe of his progress , The home news pf royalty infprmfl us that the Queen wnd Court arrived at ; O ^ box ! ne on T » e 84 a 7 « In the matter of the S tepnoy murder , tho inquoat was Adjourned on

      Tuesday till the 16 th October ; the enquiry at the Thames Police-court was adjourned till Wednesday next , the 25 th instant . Emms was admitted to bail in 2 CKM . 3 and Mullins was remanded to prison ; it was necessary for the police to take energetic measures to prevent the latter from being attacked by the mob , who shouted the most fearful imprecations at him . ' ' .. . . . la the Road murder , an investigation , has taken place at Beckington , the witness examined by Mr . Slack being the boy Hblliday , formerly in Mr . Kent ' s employ . Nothing was elicited tending to throw light on the matter . Mr Slack had not examined Mr . and Mrs . Kent or their daughter Constance . The for last

      The public health is in a favourable state . average week in the metropolis , as shewn by the experience of the last ten years , was 1 , 133 . The actual number'of deaths last week was 962 , or 171 below the mean number , and 6 below the actual number of the previous week , which was 968 . There has been one death to record from cholera during the last week . There is also a case recorded of death for want af tfie . necessaries of life . . The early closing movement is still in active progress . At a meeting of employers of Kentish and Camden Towns , a resolution has been come to for relaxing the present system . The hours of closing are to be 9 o ' clock on Saturdays and 8 on other evenings . A circular has been issued by the Horse Q-uards to the effect that the government has no objection "to officers permitting a certain number of men to assist in the harvest , on being applied to for such assistance . "

      The contest for the Championship of the Thames , on Tuesday , between Chambers , of the Tyne , and White , of London , terminated in favour of the former . The failures in the leather trade , " of which so much has been heard , furnished a subject which occupied the attention of the Bankruptcy Court , at considerable length , on Tuesday , . Messrs . Laurence , Mortimore , and Sehrader , passed then * examination . Mr * Linklater offered no objection , merely observing that anything further that he might have to state in the matter he should reserve till the certificate meeting . William Slater and William Vivian , late keepers employed at Colney Hatch Asylum , who had been charged * with the manslaughter of Wilh ' ain Swift , have heen tried at the Central Criminal Court this Week arid acquitted : /

      Mrs . Price has obtained a writ of Tiabeas corpus requiring him . to produce her before a judge , and to show cause why he had forcibly removed htr from the Agapenlone . Amongthe holiday speeches of M . P-s , we find one of Sir JameS Oraham ' s , all about farming , deKvered at the East Cumberland Agricultural Society ' s meeting at-Carhsle , which he begun by declaring "he would riot make one political allusion . "

      FPREIGN . After the late news last week , to theeffect that iPranee had withdrawn her minister from Turin , and that the enlistment of foreign mercenaries by the Pope was sought to be justified by that potentate and his advisers , on the ground that France and Austria were desirous of the fprmation of . an army ty his Holiness , the intelligence , ; that . Q-eneral Larnoriciere had declared the ill-starred town of Perugia in stateof siege , and had menaced : the inhabitants with « fine of 30 ^ 000 ducats , forfeiture of property , and death in case the wires of the telegraph were tampered wifch , was followed quick by the , glad tidings that this devoted city had . been saved by the' timely arrival of Q-eneral JFanti , who overthrew the enemy in a decisive contest , and took the citadel , h

      where the fugitives had fled for refuge , thus becoming master , of te plaice , and of 1 ^ 600 prispners , General Sehmidt , bein £ among the number . Garibaldi hact appointed Jjiberip pro-dictator ¦ _ of Naples , made preparations for engaging Iiamorioiere , and declared his resplutipr of prdblaiming from the summit pf the Quirinal the consolidation of Naples \ vitih Sardinia . Pending these prompt and decisive measures pf the general himself , an " excursion '' of near . 300 enthusiastic sympathisers ; left the Hngliah Miore to join his standard . Desertion was rife at iG-aeta ; and at Naples even members of the priesthood were fraternizinff with the people , , ¦ At mid-week , the great European drama presented a" strong Btiaution , " » nd a cpncatenatioii of important incidents w ^ s" looming in the future .

" The articjo says " that while this JTrench troops remain at Rome , the person and the authority of the Pope are secure , " The writer adds that ?* in oppressing these views , we (( whpever tliat may be interpreted tP mean , ) have only in view the interests of the Papacy , for what coijaplioatos tho position , of France is the prosenoo pf French tropps afcRomo .
