The business in the Liverpool cotton market has been unprecedented during week. The Secretary of India has delivered an address to the Manchester Cotton Association, and other merchants, relative to the natural advantages of India for the cultivation of cotton. The London Times has an editorial on Secretary Chase's appeal for subscriptions to the new Federal loan. It says: ‘ "If the interest offered is a sufficient appeal to the patriotism of the people, any arguments as to the safety of investment in the loan are unnecessary; if it is not sufficient, the remedy would have been to increase the amount, instead of appealing to considerations which, rightly viewed, amount to a little more than a confession of weakness. The people will be more ready to believe that provision will be made for the payment of the principal and interest on war loans, when they see provision has been made for leaving one farthing of expense out of the income of the year." ’ A prize fight had taken place in England between Tom Mace, the champion of England, and Tom Sayers, ex-champion. The meeting was accidental. The fight lasted thirty minutes, and resulted in the complete victory of Sayers, who beat his antagonist until he was senseless. Mace recently won the championship.France.
