As regards cotton, France stood in scarcely « worse position than England for obtaining suppiles cfthe raw material; and ber indas. trie are ap: weighing the chances of success that await the extensive cotton gro experiments Bow proceeding in Aigeria. On all 8 the com- wercia) problem is attacked and scratinized. What are the natural hindrances to progress? What the natural limits of demand? What the natural elements that ce*ermine whether, and how far, French indus- try can find profitable vent for its products at hone or abrosd? Towards the solution of this problem, a p2per which has excited much attentién in France, —thcugh not more than its value warrants— has been contributed by M. Emile Barthe in the hg el @ report upon the French roment in the New York Industrial Exhibition. M. Barthe possesses many qualifications for the task he has now accomplished. Long denizened in the United States—insomuch that he has been elected a member of the Louisisnien Legislature—he is yet by birth and sympathies a Frencl ; while he has acquired an intimate knowledge of the indastiial de- ficiencies and Sopetliisen; the commercial tastes and habitudes, the skillas producers and the absorbent power as consumers, both of the Gallic and the Anglo Saxon races. ig England as their chief competitor, the French manufacturers not un- justly considered that their productions were subject to fairer compatison when presented side by side with those of their British rivals at New York, than when encountering them on their own soil in Hyde park. M.Barthe hes accordivgly thns compared them. With this report he has interwoven many » observations of singular acuteness touching the Eng- Hiab, French and American characters, viewed their industrial aspects, and has deduced a variety of inferences suggestive of very deep reflection to the and traders upon both sides of the Channel or the Atlantic. One drawback which he detects to the commercial success of the French manufacturers has somewhat git which are “made up” for market. French emballages,he says,are exported in coarse ‘Wreppers covered with common brown paper enve- Jopes. The English bales attra st purchasers by their jitures of white and gilt paper, enlivened by 1g Vignettes, and tied round with fall tint- ed ribbons.- A roy inoee superiority in the fatrin- sic qualities of the h articles cannot overcome this disadvantage in their external presentment, to which, he adds, the American customer seems espe- cially sensitive. In price, M. Barthe acknowledges the uncontested pre-eminer ce of the English commodities, and dis- miscee the subject very briefly, with aso1t of hope air, advancing parenthetically a plea on of the occasional and “ undentable superiori- , he the French fabrics on the score of quality. ®@ better consolation remains for his country- mea. F; that is protects end extends the interests of the French manufac- tarers, whom Le earnestly enjoins to redouble their efforts to “‘ march from progress to progress,” and to study afar off the conditions of their success. + _ Deeper causes of success @ecorated wra: warns the diligently the special conditions ot reer Se eee ee Ee See Commneds, ties, Some curious instances of failure are related Fat tanitegaeds sont eetimier “4 y mi occasioned » total failure of the Tustres_of taste and New ite bat for fitted for 78 universally employ H a ae E i EF i gs of e i 7 g 8 ite novel jacte into un- markets, even at the risk of Vast quan- articles remain unzought seteae otal 31 His cite g 5 the commission agent who buys his goods who either strictly follows the instructions ietant employer, or selects only those commo- experience has shown to be already in of a market.

He is said by some to be an able man, and to be popular where he lives, In the Eighth district, Chauncey L. Knapp is the candidate. He is an old liberty man, and joined the free soilers in 1848, who ran him against Gov. Bout- well for Congress, in that year. the coalition got possession of our Legislature, in 1851, Mr. Knapp was made Clerk of the Senate, which office he was not found competent to fill, so that it became necessary to call a whig to his assistance, a son of Mr. J.T, Buckingham, who had had some experi- ence in business of the kind. When the question of 1e-electing Mr. Knapp came up in 1852, it was resolved to drop him, on the ground of incompetency, on hearing which decision he faintedaway. The place was conferred on Mr, Underwood. Since that time he has not been much heard of until he has now “turned ca asa congressional candidate of the Know Nothings in No.8. In the Ninth district Mr. De Witt is that party’s candidate,and it would be useless to oppose him, be being supported by the free soilers, at least half the whigs, and some of the democrats. Inthe Tenth district the nomination bas been conferred on Mr. James Blanchard, a whig, and a manufacturer of locomotives, but who is not poeeeted ofeny marked talents. Of No. 11 rothin, known, and it would be useless for the attempt to be made to defeat Mr. Goodrich. Such are the Know Nothing candidates. Five of them—Measrs. » Buffington, Comins, Whiting, and/Blanchard—are whigs, Four—Mesars. Dai § Burlingame, Knapp, and De Witt—are free soilers. Only one, Mr. Davis, is a democrat. The whigs have the }: number, yet they ac: use the Kuow Nothings of having given themselves up to the fre soilere. All that their talk means is this: they wish to frighten the new piry, into nominating some un- doubted whig for Guverncr, in which event they mean te al jon Governor Washburn, and tike the whole body of Know Nothings captive, and having voted for that party’s candidate, make a whig ex:- cutive of him, and whig voters of his friends. In this way, the whig party would be restored to its old strength. Sh: the new party refuse to be swa’lcwed up, it is the intention of the whigsto make war on it openly, in the hope of getting tha whole foreign vote on their side, as the foreign po- pulation must lean somewhere, and there is no de- mocratic party in existerce here—none; I mean, of such strength as would warrant any party not ab- solutely mad, to think of it as a means of sug] As to the chances of the Know rT gow idates wae elected, I do not think they w: be worth PR ing at any ice.

The only district in which the whigs have no hope whatever, is the Ninth, where one half of their own nomber are supporting 8 fiee soiler. The other half prem to have a can , but their exertions wiil attended with no effect on the result. Those Know Nothings who have the best chances of being elected are whigs, or such stuff as whigs are made of, and, if chosen, would soon be tused into that great party which, under some name or other, is not “wmprobebly destined to have possession of the ration al goverzment for the four years following General Pierce’s retirement from 5 Mr. Edmands bas been nominated for Con; in the Third district, sss y he had formally declined being a candidate. It is the policy of the whigs to put irto the field as many practical anti-Nsbraska men 9s pcesible. Mr. Kémands voted in such way as satisfies the more mcderate anti-slavery men, and 80 is a8 gcod un opponent to Mr. Damrell as could have been selected. There isncthivg new to be said about the guber- patorial nomination of the new party. Mr. Pierce continues to be muh talked of for it. He is an old democrat, and a straigh¢forward man, who would fill the executive chair creditably. He bas, though a demociat, always Leen averas to ‘‘ foreign influ- exce,” and this is relied upon by his friends to se- cure bis nomination; but the result in the Tcird Congressional district may open their eyes to the danger of their pcsition. There Mr. Ely was tripped “up by Mr. Damrell, though he had been for years @ ative Americep, and apparently bad irresistible claims on his party. Mr. Pierce’s :laime may prove of Lo more weight than those of Mr. Ely, though his Pigeons certainly have a good appearance at this ime. Mr. Burke’s movement in favor of Gen.

ADONIRAM CHANDLER, 25Q., OF AW your, This gentleman, an old and well known citizen 0° New York, died at his residence in this city, on Saturday, 14th instant, at the age of sixty-two years. His health has been precarious for twe or three years past, and his death was not unexpected to his friends. He leaves 8 widow and son, witha Bumerous circle of personal friends, to lament his Joes; and those who were familiar with bis career as & public spirited citizen, will long cherish his memory, not only for his usefulness, but for his many private virtues. Mr. Chandler was born in Maine, when it was a district of Massschusetts, and having learned the trade of a printer, came in early life to this city, where he worked asa journeyman until the war with Great Britain,which was declared im 1812. He then entered as a volunteer in the naval service of the United States, and was attached to the forces under the command of Commodore Chauncey on Lake Ontario. He was present at several actions by land and water on the frontiers and on the lake. On his return to the city, after the close of the war, he resumed his business as a printer, and on the introduction of styreotyping into this country, he turned his attention to that art and followed it with success. About fifteen years since he retired from that business with a moderate com- petency. In politics, Mr. Chandler was originally a republican of the old school, but embracing the cause of John Quincy Adams, he warmly opposed the election of Jackson to the Presidemey in 1828, ‘Ube following year the working men’s party was formed, soon after which he joined that organiza- tion, Discovering the intentions of the late Frances Wright and Robert Dale Owen to introduce infidel notions as a part of the creed of the working men, particularly on the subject of education, be exposed the same in an able report made to the Typographical Society, of which he wasa leading member. The ultimate conscquen'e was a disruption of the working men’s party, the infidel portion of the organization falling back into tte Tammany Hall ranka, and the others, acting with Chandler, forming the basis of the whig party in this city. In 1830 Mr. Chandler was ore of the candidates of the working men, and Adams party, or National bag trae for member of Congress from this city, but the democrats of woe Hall having a Jarge majority he was of course defeated. He aiterwards took an active part in favor of the renewal cf the charter of the United Siates Bank, and in 1834 he was one of a delegation sent to Wash- ington from the business men of New York, to urge upon General Jackson and Ucngress the importance of restorix g the public deposits to the United S iatos Bank. Returning, of course, withou’ success in the object of his mission, he made a report in behalf of the LA agcnk to alarge and excited meeting at Masonic Hall. Onthe saccess of the whigs, in 1837, Mr. Chandler was elected one of the members of Assem- bly from this city. In 1839, the whigs coming into power in the State, he was elected by the Legisla- ture Commissary General—an office for which he was well qualified—and discharged its duties with great zeal and fidelity. As member of the Legislature, he exposed the impositions which had been practised in the public printing for the Btate. Sudeequently he held the office of Collector of Arrears of faxes in thia city, for one year, under a whig Common Council, and proved a most vigilant collector, bis remuneration depending on the amount collected. Mr. Chandler was an ¢arly member of the American Instifute, which was formed in 1828. He did not take an active part in its concerns for some years afterwards, when he was elected one of the trustees; and after the death of the late Mr. Wakeman he succeeded him as superintending agent. To his exertions and influence, in part, are the Institute in- debted for the fortunate purchase of their building in Broadwey, by which fifty thousand dollars in | value was added to their property ia consequerce of the advance in real estate in that quarter of the sity. The exhibitions of specimens ot agricultural and macufacturing industry by the Institute for a series of years, have been zealously promoted by Mr. Chandler. Asa member e secre! of Me- chanics and Tradesmen, Mr. Chandler was for man; years conspicuous and persevering, taking an active part in prcmoting its interests;and elevating the character of its youth in education aud science. Although en active whig and ardent friend of Henry Cloy, Mr. Chandler was favorable to the war with Mexico, and acceded to the desire of his youthful son to enter into tue eervice of his country. This youre mau, Lieutenant Edgar Chandler, being et- ched to the New York Regiment of Volunteers, fe.i mortally wounded at the battle of Contreras, before the city of Mexico, in August, 1847, while fearlessly standing by his colors, REY. JOHN H. HANSON, OF NEW YORK. ‘The Rev. John H. Hanson,of the Episcopal church and assistant minister of the Calvary church, in this city, died at his residence, on Monday, the 9th inst, His remains were interred on Wednesdsy, in the cemetery of Trinity church. Mr. Hanson was a zealous minister of the cburch.to which he was at tached, but was better known to the public a the author of the volume called “The Lost Prince,’ in which he endeavors to prove thai the son of Louis XVI. is the Rev. Eleazar Williams, a missionary of the Episcopal church. There can be no doubt of the sincerity of Mr. Hanson’s belief in his theory and ingenious presentation of facts. While he was en- gaged in his inquiries, we published in the Hznap an account of a curious interview with him and the supposed ‘lost prince”’—the Rev. Eleazar Williams, the subject having previously attracted considera- ble attention, from an article in a magazine, written by Mr. Hanson. The Churchman says:— ‘Mr. Hanson who bas unhappily been cut off in the prime of life, and in the midet of much pastoral use- fulness, bad for some time been the assistant minia- ter of Ca.vi church, by whose congregation Le wes deeply beloved. But Mr. Hanson was also fa- vorably known, and much more widely, as the au- thor of a work that bas excited extraordinary inter- est_both in this country and in Europe—that of “The Lost Prince”-—the object of which is to es:ab- lish the identity of Louis XVII. of France, the un- happy oyepei of the Revolution, in the person of a brother clergyman of our church, the Rey. Eleazar Williame. It 18 not our intention at present to re- open that complicated and mest exciting subject. jut it is only common justice to Mr. Hanson’s memory to say, that we believe he was actuated by a much bigher snd holier motive than either the world or the church gave him credit for, in investi- gating as he did so cloeely ard so ably this extraor- inary and most romantic case, and that be was stopgly and sincerely convinced that bis reverend fijend snd brother, whose birthright he songht so manfully and so indefatigably to establish, if not to restore to him, was in very truth none other than the ill used and long lost Bourbon Prince—a con- viction which he has certainly supported by some most irresistible evidence, and§by 4 chain of moat marvellous circomstances.” HUGH A.
