BOWEKY THEATRE, Bowery.-love—Borris luw, B ox Movements atone rue Manvracturers.—The manufacturing mills, particularly those in which cotton goods are produced, are undergoing certain peculiar changes. At Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts, some curious signs are manifested; and though they attempt to manufacture, in that | quarter, opinions as well as calico, yet we get ata good deal of truth occasionally. It is announced that the stoppage of the mills, in some cases, has been to make changes in the machinery, and that no stoppage has taken place on account of a de- pression in business. This may have been the case occasionally; but that the mills should have been | signped from other causes, is reasonably to be be- lieved. The great corporations have been trying experiments with labor, and have, for many months back, been using double sets of hands, making an immense amount of fabrics. To do this at a cheap rate, they have employed raw foreign laborers, and have discharged many of the industrious and thrifty girls and boys of the New England farmers, who are prone to leave the dairy and the plough for the room and the warehouse. This has been found a dear experiment. The work has not been executed so well as under the old system, and, therefore, ata dearer rate. The operation, consequently, is now going on of dis- charging the foreign work people, and for bring- ing back the farmers’ daughters and sons. The proprietors were forced to do this, or to reduce the wages of the new foreign recruits. In Maryland, there is a similar movement in the cotton mills. Since the first of May, the Union mills have run only halftime. In Maine and New Hampshire, in the towns of Saco and Dover, many operatives have been discharged, the present prices of cotton being assigned as the cause, the manu- factures being represented as profitless. ‘The annual product of all the cotton mills in the country, is about 250,000,000 yards, and the con- sumption of the raw material about 600,000 bales— one-sixth of this latter amount being consumed south of Washington, and in the Western States. The whole value of the manufactured product is not much short of $68,000,000. Now, this is a great interest, and undoubtedly possesses great power at the South as well as North. Besides, the immense rapidity with which cotton factories are establish- ed in the South—particularly in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and North Carolina—will have a great effect upon the future; and we have many proofs that there will be a vast change in the South- ern States on the question of protection, and this, too, atno very distant day. Already there is a feeling in Georgia, and her neighboring States, fa- vorable to some modification of the revenue laws. ‘This will come out more positively and elearly, as new cotton mills grow up in that region. The owners will not seriously refuse more protection. The small capitalists there, will coalesce with the great leading manufacturers of the North, and in this way there will be worked out, if the slavery question can ever be settled, a kind of compromise upon the tariff, by which protection will be given ADWA?

The debate on the compromise was renewed yes- terday; and the anticipations af Mr. Clay, as tothe final success of the compromise, seem, thus far, | well founded, as will appear by the telegraphic re- ports, In the meantime, we look in vain for any intimations of the course of the cabinet on the pro- spect of their defeat. The Repudlic is quiet—its new editor not having got into the traces yet. Ina day or two, we may expect clearer demonstrations of the movements of the cabinet, for they cannot eoneeal even anything that they attempt to co- ver up. Che Revolutions in Washington—A New State of Things. ) Avery curious series of revolutions “ in little,” bas been going on in Washington, some weeks past, in refefence to the starting of newspapers, changing of editors, turning out of cabinets, cap- sizing of leaders, and organizing the new elements for new movements in politics. These little revo- tutions and smal! choppings and changings, though in their infancy they are laughable enough, will, we fear, lead to results of great magnitude and im- portance, in the future construction of parties, and the triumph of measures and feelings between dif- ferent sections of the country. ‘The first movement in the series has been the promunciamento of a majority of the Southern mem- bere, declaring their purpose in favor of the imme- diate organization and establishment of a journal, to be their exclusive organ. This enterprise, at its first step, has the countenance of the great majority of Southern members belonging to both the old factions. A sum nearly equal to $50,000 has been esllected to supply the sinews of war. Elwood Fisher, Eeq., an eminent lecturer on Southern insti- tutions and Southern interests, has been named, in vonjunction with another individual, for chief editor. The policy of this new journal, which will probably be called the Crisis, or some such ominous name, will present not only opposition to Mr. Clay's compromise, as insufficient, inadequate, | to the cotton mills, and to the iron works and mi- aud unsatisfactory to the South, but will also | ners of Pennsylvania.

C, Asuuey.—Yesterday, im the Court of Sessions, in the case of J.C. Ashley, charged with paseing counterfeit money, some ex- traordinary developements were made by that indi- vidval, touching the recent torjdo, and other mat- ters, which have so much astonished the public during the last few months. These developemenis are introduced in the shape of an affidavit, sworn to by Ashley, forthe purpose of having the indiet- ments quashed against him on certain grounds in- dicated. Further proceedings in reference to thiv matter, throwing out additional light, will take place to-day in the Sessions, and will, no doubt, command the attention of al! those who have ta ken so deep an interest in the recent trialsef Drary, Arlington Bennet, One-Eyed Thompson, Ash- ley, and all those remarkable characters, who have so deeply agitated the atmosphere of the ‘Tombs and the outsiders. These proceedings contain a new revelation on the torpedo mysteries, with which so many persons have hitherte been connected, and which has caus- ed so much excitement among the police. They also give an account of the mode or system of manufacturing altered money, and also disclose "what was the real history and purpose of that sys- tem, by one of the initiated. It also gives a very curious and graphie account of the robbery of the office of Mr. McKeon, the District Attorney, stat- ing in whom that project originated, and for what purpose it was committed, with a number of other cireumstances and curious facts, illustrating the whole affair, This extraordinary deposition, letting in a little fresh light on these mysteries, extends to twelve manuecript pages, and forms the basis of the application made by Ashley for his discharge. The public have taken a great deal of interest in seeing the parties connected with these mysteries gradually disclosing and developing the facts con- nected with themsely Mach censure, and some of it very undeserved, has been hitherto heaped upon the police authorities of this city, for their seeming inaction in relation to the torpedo mysteries, and other crimes that have been charged against certain individuals. We believe the police authorities, in this matter, are not so much to blame. While they were engaged in le- gal, proper, and reliable steps, in reaching these matters, unfortunately for the upright and manly administration of justice, a coterte of certain indi- viduals connected with a weekly paper, proposed to set upa police jurisdiction of their own, and, under that assumption, procured stool-pigeon meet- ings, issued violent declarations, and gave a direc- tion to things, which has-created all the mystery, prevented the proper administration of justice, and thrown obstacles in the way of the regular police au- thorities. Time, however, will bring all things to rights. The attempts, in this searching and enlight- ened day, to revive the practices and dangers of - the stool-pigeon system in the management of crimi- nal aflairs, will never succeed in practice, and never command public aid or public sympathy. The numerous steps which have already been taken by the authorities of our public courts, in connection with these mysteries, will gradually lead the pub- lic tribunals to ascertain, with greater precision and accu! , who were the original criminals, and who really committed the original offences. Mr. McKeon, the District Attorney, has hitherto ex- hibited great talent and perseverance in threading these criminal labyrinths, and we have no doubt he will ultimately succeed in separating the chaff from the wheat, and in bringing the truly guilty to condign punishment. Of course, the proceedings of the Court of Ses- sions, to-day, will command deep attention anda full audience. M. Bopisco anp Tue Koscrvsk6 Casr.—We have received many communications from Washington with respect to the Kosciusko case, which we can- not consent to publish. We have no objection to a ealm, temperate review of the$whole matter, upon its merits. It is absurd, however, tomix M. Bodis- co in the matter, as if he were to be the object of abuse. M.

The Contempiated Invasion of Cuba. (From the New Orleans Delta, May 5.)

Broapwar Tuxarae.—The favorite play of “ The Lady of Lyons” was performed, last night, and was received with great enthusiasm, Miss Davenport being called out at the end of the third act, when she ap- peared with Mr, Dyott, who performed his part with too Little teeling, and was dressed rather awkwardly. Mise Davenport was forcible in the ¢ ter of Pau- line. All her wonted taste shone conspicuously, and her scenes were much applauded, from the beginning to the close of the play, abounding in all that iutensi- ty of passion for which her personations have been so much commended.

It appears by the Vicksburg Sentine? of the 4th inst., that Judge Tompkias delivered his opinion in the mandamus case on the 2d inst. He discharged the rule heretofore granted upon the State Treasury, to how cause why a peremptory mandamus should not ivsue against him, to compel the payment of the sink- ing fund to the holders of the Planter’s Bank Bonds. ‘The ground of his decision was, that the sinking fand could only be paid out of the treasury upom the audi- tor’s warrant, and that tho application to the treasurer for payment, before obtaining such warrant, was not suthorized by Jaw.
