As English View of the Cotton Trade. Frau Smith, Ed wards ft Co s Monthly Ootton Circular. Liverpool, November 1, 1879.—In discussing the prospects of our market, tha first point that demands attention is the decided revival of trade in Manobes- ter—this has become so pronounced of late, that we think it may be assumed as an important factor in tbe question. The large amount of machinery stopped this autumn has at last effected a total clearance of a-ocks save in home trade goods, and on all sides there are signs of a healthier demand Betting in from abroad. It is true that recent shipments to India and China are heavy, but tbe crops in those countries are good—old stock of goods are almost quite cleared out, and the great rise in tichange will assist merchants not a little. The other markets have been very sparingly supplied for a long time, and the home traue, in spite of present depression, must be unusually bare of pH? in second hands, and be ripening for a time of more active business. It seems to us that all indications favor a much larger oonsumption of cotton in England next year. It has now been falling off steadily for several years, and the weight of cotton delivered the past twelve months is at least 15 per cent, below what the mills would re quire with fairly good trade. The con suming capacity of Great Britain must be from 300,000 to 400,000 bales larger than the actual quantity taken the past twelve months. Granted that many old mills now Btopped are not likely to reopen again, we still think that even sitb moderate trade an increase of 200,- *®to 300,000 bales in the consumption he witnessed. On the continent we doubt if any increase can be looked , Trade is extremely bad in France, ' j '’ u -‘ everywhere, except Russia, “d even there it is less buoyant than it ** s , doubt if the continent will wsumeless than last season, though it dl take less freely of the early part of ,? ct0 P' The United States, on the 7 hand . are highly prosperous. • e r c .°08iiraption of all commodities nrlTi y 'Hcreasing, and they will probably require 50,000 to 100,000 balei raot « than last season. ake the world at large, we should "Pect an increase of about 300,000 with the last twelve , ani * as we over-consumed our biPi! .t a8t - 8e88on by quite 200,000 nit j neod f° r an increased sup simnl * ,a * ea tbia coming season r meet consumption, leaving ,, ,l 3 cottrm noxt autumn as bare ha ™ been the past one, to L e a qUesti ?“ * 8 ’ where :s this supply that ti, raW A 1 Trom ?

Col. Pass, the Governor of West Jersey (now the State of New Jer sey, adjoining that of New York), cor roborated this statement. It was shown that they had not surrendered to a com mission of four specially sent out for the purpose, and they were condemned to die. This was, os far as the writer can judge, a hard ca3e. Another seaman, Darby Mullins, Baid in his defense that he served under the King’s commissiou, and had no right to disobey any com mands of his superior officer ; that, in faot, the men were never allowed to question his authority, beoause it would destroy all discipline; and that even if unlawful aots were committed, the offi cers were the persons to answer for it, not the men. He was answered that serving as he did only entitled him to do that which was lawful. He replied that the case of a seaman must be bad indeed if he were punished in both cases, for obeying and for not obeying his officers, and that if he were allowed to dispute his superior’s orders there would be no such thing as command on the high seas. This ingenious defense availed him nothing; he had taken a shato of the plunder, and had muti nied, showing no regard to the commis sion ; and further, had acted in accord ant) i with the customs of freebooters and pirates. The jury brought him in guilty with the rest. Kidd’s defense was not strong, as a matter of legal ar gument. He insisted that he had been more sinned against than sinning. He said that he went out on a laudable em ployment, and had no occasion, being then in good circumstances, to go a pi rating ; that he had boen threatened in his own cabin, and that ninety-five de serted him at one time, and set fire to his boat, so that he was disabled from bringing his ship heme, or the prizes he took,to have them regularly condemned, which prizes, he said, were taken under virtue of his commission, they having French passes (false). A witness, Col. Hewson, spoke of his previous reputa tion for bravery. So much of his own statement was doubtful or false that he was found guilty. When the Judge put on the black cap Kidd stood up and said : “My Lord, it is a very hard sen tence. For my part, I am the most in nocent person of them all, and have (uticura REMEDIES H»ve spec,lily and permanently ourod Huinora ol ' h * Skn and Scalp of Children and Infanta affiioted since birth.

The News says: “We have, to some extent, been deceived again as to what the negroes would do. Their whole vote for debt paying candidates would not furnish representation for one dele gate to the legislature.’^ Baltimore Gazette: If tho Republi can party wants a man absolutely wM - out conscience to succeed the lato /-acn Chandler as chairman of the Republi can national committee, it should send at once an invitation to Wm. K. Ghad- ler, of New Hampshire. He is in no wise related to Zachariab but when it comes to stealing states, blowing up po litical mines and organizing outrages there is no more comparison between Bill and any other living Republican than there is between a Roman empe ror and a ringtailed monkey. Norfolk Ledger: It is bow estimated that the postomce at Washington con trols direotly or indirectly, the votes of quite 100,000 men, employed in tbe various states in the Union, as Postmas ters, assistants, runners, eto., and tnai this powerful influence is mest vigor ously used by the first and second assist ant postmaster generals for the benefit of the Republican party.
