London Times, Jan. 20, Lord Stratford de Redclifo has suggested that Bulgaria north ot tho Balkans should be {ncorporated with Roumants, “ziving to its remalning and larger parts a system of autono- my suflicient to sccure them from the evits of Mussulman adminlstration.’’ As the Bulgariana may be assumed to be the best juidges of their own intorosts, let us scc how far their wishes may be {nferred from thelr history. The first Bulgarian Kinmlom was destroyed in the be- ginning of the cleventh century by the Emperor Basll 1L, surnamed * the Slayer of the Bul- garians.” After supportlug, as Gibbon tells us, the looss dominlon of the Dyzantino Princes above 170 yegys, they revolted under Peter and Asan, two powerful chlefs of the race of their anclent Klugs, and the conflagration ll;rl:m from the bauks of the Danube to the hills of Macedonis and Thrace, The Iinpe- rial troops were discouraged by the boneas of their fellow-soldiers scattered along the passes ot the Balkaus, the Emperor Baldwin was de- feated and taken prisoucr near Adrianople, and the second Kingdom of Bulgaria was frinly es- tablished by the arma and pollcy of Kalo-Johu, After this the Bulgarians maintalned their indo- pendence uutll they were cunyuered by the Turks at tha end of the fourtcenth cootury, Under the Turks they rocelved a contemptuous balf-toleratton, whila they were content to be mero taxpayers and to Hve in such a degraded atato that, when any of them becarno cducated and acquired property, thuy wero ashamed to call themselves Bulizartans and merged fn somo other nationality. At last tne re- vival of national feeling which led to the cnaucipation of Italy and Germany, eytended cven to the Bulgarians, and they assertod thelr cceleslastical frecdom (which is the sanctuary of the nationality of every Eastern people), aud es- tabltshed schools in ucr{ vlllage.” The thne hud now arrived for the full application of the traditional ‘furkish pollcy to the Hulgarians, is new uational movement must ba brought up short, or Turkish ascendency must give wa; before It. lence thu planting of Tartar an Circassian colonies; heuce the deliberatcly- plauned massacres aud hangiogs, in which priests and schoolmasters wero the most fro- queut victims; and hence the sentiment ex- vressed by Turkish suthorities until the univer- sal horror of EnmLm fmposed slicuce on - them, that as tho Bulgarians bhad becowe troublesoms 1t was wéll that there ¢hould be fewcr of them. In short, the Turkish systen had been workea out nearly to its ulterior consequences, sud Bulgeria would soou liave been reduced to the desolated and fn- teuscly Mohamimedan condition of Asia Minor if this war of caucipation had not tmade s way of peace. How, then, aro the Bulearians likely to regard & proposal fur dsmembering their country, the northern portion of it betny absorbed into Rou- waunla, and the southern left under Turkey! ‘The sum of all the desires of the Hulfilfllut s the recoustitution of thelr national existeuce, fn which they bave been encoursged by the cxample of Roumauis and Bervia; and the southern por- tion of the countryls the must advanced both in the number snd populatiou of its towus aud the wecalth and intclligence of its tnbabit- sots, who bave also bean the chiet sufferers In the causo of uatioual tndependence. 1t wo tury {from the particular lntercsts of Bulguria to the geueral jotercsts of Eurupe, sil expericacs shows that urrangemeuts of this kind should not bo made by nalves.

TRADE DEPRESSION. THE PRESIDENT OF TNE MANCITESTER CHAMBER OF COMMENRCE BXPLAINS, Loxnox. Feb. 6.—At tho annual meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce the Prealdent submitted the results of a critical ex. aminatfon of the causcs of the present depres- slon of trade, e stated that overproduction, foreign competition, and legislation limiting the hours of labor were the principal causes. e urged that more coutrol should bo exercised over unduc enterprise In cotton manufacture, for abnormal extensions prumoted eampetition which at Jast culminated In perlodical visitations of depression. As, to foregn competition he, said Germany, Austria, Italy, and " Holland had lessencd their imports of woven goods, while lelgium was so nearly our equal that It had imported both woven goods and yarns into Great Britain for several years, America has also gained yvearly upon her ex- rts of cotton gouis to this country, having ncreased from 15,830 pounds in 1870 to 451,870 pounds In 1870, Regarding the labor question, hie rald when the mill-owners obtained the pas- sage of an act lmitlng the hours of Jabor to mine ond & half per day tney did It without baving & pruper regard to the advantage thereby obtalned by foreign com- petitora. The fact was {ncontestible that what- ever superority of manufacture or power of production we might have, it was to a consider- able extent thrown away since the E:Hllnh pro- duction of ninc end one-half hours had to com- pete withaday’s work ot eleven or twelve hours abroad with lower wages.
