Ipraf reta of America in Cotton Manu- The recent meeting of the Manchester Cham- k-r n( Commerce, a report of which appeared in rnir columns of Tuesday, deserves thp serious consideration of the people of England, We lone since warned the country of the danger of " - I . , a Li depending on oit cotton manulactures as a m-mm ; oi ineir manuiacture, picKiug up orpimns, iuuhu of trade of which the nation could never be de- lings or the children of poor parents; for in the prived.

I Wben we lormerly wrote on the sutj -ct we saiu lessMMUU farmers in high hie for eight or ten that the United Stales of America was the country , pounds, and afterwards sold for four or five hun fjtn which the greatest competition was to be i dred. 'The profit constitutes the pin-money of the apprehended ; we stated, what was known to be harem. A number ol old women bride brokers the fact, that even then America undersold Eog- land in all the neut ral markets in the coarser lab- rics: and, knowing the energy ol I be American people, we naturally concluded thut they would nnt .ton at lh.it nriuit. hut f l it tllOC WOO CGllId alVb 0a- B manufacture coare cloths would vrry sotn learn to manufacture lino cloths also This opinion is, in a great degree, borne out by t!i; stnti men I oi Mr. James Apir.al Turm r, at tls- in eling f the M-.ncnester unner oi vyomin-rer, mi ... last. That gemlcman ohaerred I hal tin ro aa I U close contest between the mastera ol tins conn- try and those ol America, and of Germany, France, and Swi' rland, and many other conn- ; tries, for the pmaetlioa of the market;" and he . m. t . rt i r ....... it... -I.... added that he had had samples laid before him ! last week, showing that the Americans were pro- ; gressing wi'h rapid strides in the cotton manufac- turcs, and that thev were making moal beautiful cloth, not only of ihe coarser description, but of fine fabric; and that there was anthipg lo prevent . I I l-.. I them passing us, except mat uiuor was a nuie dearer there than here. Of the competition of Germany, France, and Switzerland, we think we hare not much to (ear. In some of those countries, no doubt, ihey equal, ; if tliey do not excel us in skill, but I hey labor under the same disadvantage as we do, in having to import ihe raw material; hence the capital of I Euglnnd, with her matured proficiency, may af- ford a sufficient defence against these competitors, j With America it is very dill-rent ; Ibe Americans ! have the raw material on the spot England has to import every pound of it, either from the , United States, from India. Brazil, Egypt, or some ! other distant country. Bui e are told thai labor , ia a little cearer in America than in England. We imagine, however, it cannot long continue so ; for 'some years past the United States have been enormously increasing their population iron) there ialands and from Germany, and the process is i .:n : i : j . i x i I still going on. America, as eomp ired lo England, is an untaxed country ; proviaions uf all kinds are abundant, nnd the circumstances of our imprtins them to supply the wants of England, shows lha the markets there are cheaper than thev are here. Hence the price of la bur cannot long continue high. Besides, there is in this country a general demand for higher uares: find, ns regards the manufacturers especially, there can be no doubf that they are committing a great error. They are present engaged in a very cloe and a verv loubtlul competition wth t!ic United States and lither foreign OOUntrins, and a very little may turn Ihe ha .nice Against England. Iui!, besides me- rica, the chairman of t he meeting sai.J ; lie had Ibeen suffering a diminution of orders Irom the (continent ; and he had been told the reason was. i that continental manufactures were nroirresstnir to : such an extent ih.it thev would be aide verv soon to take several branches ol his business from him. i and were already producing several articles he had been accustomed lo furnish, at a cheaper rate than I he could." If, in the face ol these circumstances, the npm Stives persist in their demand tor higher wages, they must inevitebly hasten a catastrophe which it is impossible net lo See is already before 'the country a serious falling off in the exporta- , tion of collon goods, through competition, denriv- ing r.ng and ol the monopoly of which it has so long had ihe undisputed enjoyment. The chairman (tdd the meeting lhal he had himshlf, and many other gentlemen besides, re ceived tempting oliers to remove his capital nnd his industry out of this country, and he had ro doubt that he could employ his money o more advantage to himself abroad. In confirmation of which it was stated that two firms, the names of which were given, were now building factories or the Rhine, instead uf in Lincaahire, uhuh was their first intention. In this decision ihey have, ol course, been in some degree influenced bv ihe war now raging against capital on th- part of the operatives in Lancashire. Put perhaps it is not Ihe only motive. If the price of operative labor he higher in America than it is in England, i' is cheaper on the continent ; boose rent is :do cheaper; and the miM-owners have al list found out that they are burdened with an income lax. This tax alone must give a decided advantage to American and continental manufactures over En glish. Hence heavy taxation ought not to be iis- regarded us one of the causes which must aid the , competition to which the manufacturers uf Eng- land are exposed. But with prudence am! a h t ler sense ol th.-ir r'al interest, on the parts of i the operntive?, England may enjoy or many years fo come a prospective cotton trade. IV e would, however, have all parlies, nnd i specially our statesmen and legislators, abandon the chi- aarieal I bought that the country can, without fear ol rivalry or competition, perpetuate a monopoly in the trade. In war it has been often lound a fatal error to bold your enemy too cheap ; from what took place at the mcf:ine lo which we have been refer rmjE, it is evident that the mill-owners lot Lancashire are not inclined to commit this Imistake. Thev appear fullv fo appreciate the competition which awaits them, and the danger Iwith which their busiaeaa is threatened. This is IcommcnJnble il is prudent and we feel assured that there is safety in it. London Skifpin Gazette. The N. C. Koau within Seven Milks if Suitiifikld.

The following anecdote, related of our lamented fellow citizen, the late Judi.h Toiiro. gives a beautilul exemplification of tho character of this moat ex cellent and benevolent man : A poor woman had been thrown pennyless upon the world, by the less of her husband, who had died in indigent circumstances, leaving her a large family of children to support. She had lung contended wi'h adverse fortune, and was fust sinking under the exertions she had been lorccd to make to sustain herself and family. In her dire extremity she was forced to mendicity. Begging tor her d. 1 1 1 v bread, Irom uoor to uoor, sue met with little encouragement from the cool-hearted and scifi.h possessors to this world's area lib. She 1 had almost relinquished all hope of meeting with ! any success, when one day she was referred to la"' Judah Touro, who was recommended to her by an ! individual nlmost his peer in wealth, as a very ' charitable man. With fear and trembling she knock' d at the door of his hoSj 1 able mansion was admitted by a servant, nnd conduct d to the presence ol .Mr. Toi ro. Here she related the brief story of her s iflerings and misery. The benevolent man walk d lo his desk, and taking out his check-book, fil.d a check ami handed it to the woman, with instructions lo call at a cer tain bank and have it cashed. Cautioning her not to mention to any one the circumstance, he bade her begone, and instantly withdrew from the room, to escape the profusion of heartfelt thanks that were swelling forth from the heart. She repaired lo the bank, and handed the chck to the cashier. That indiuidual was amazed on examing if, to find ilia! ihe cheek was drawn for fifteen hundred dollars ; bill be was noi more astonished than the woman herself was, when she heard the amount. .She was sure there must be some mistake, and taking up th e check, immediately returned to the house oi Mr. Touro. The o!J man uppearei 1 be v ry acgry whn she again presont-rl herself. aud ;ing her il he had not given her enough : !i i added, 1 ' Begone Madame, for not another rent will you ",ct from me' and without S'v'g her a moment lor explanation, he order 1 the servant to ctmduel Ii r qui of the house. The woman, of course, had the check cashed, niul si nee then has passed many a liniipv day, tiinl still lives to bless the memory of her benefactor, whoso kindness had nlared her bevond the reach of want.
