Mr. Farnall announced to the central relief committes at Manchester his recall by the poor law board from the post of commissioner in the cotton distriet, which he thas now held for three years, and tho committeo ad- journéd sine die. This proceeding amounts to an official Tecognition of the ond of the great cotton famine, and it implies the breaking up of the entire system of rellef chroughout the cotton district. The changes in che last four yoars have been so rapid that it is hurd for us now ‘to realize the full meaning of this announcement. It was about this time four years that the prospect of the paralysis of the cotton trade was being forced upon our attention, Half a miilion of persons were in the short space of a few months reduced to the danger of eer starvation, unless relieved by prompt and vast munificence, The worst of the evil was that there was m0 assurance on which we could in any way rely that ‘the distress would be transient. We had made up our aninds. not to interfere in the American war, whatever it might cost us, and the prospects of obtaining cotton from othor sources were vague and unsatisfactory. Nor did we then know how far the paralysis of this vast trade nt affect. the prosperity of the whole country, and thus dminish the resources of bene- volence’ at the very moment when the hardest call ‘was mado upon it.” Nor, again, could we calcuinte what might be the effects of such a calamity upon the cotton operatives themselvos. Whether the suffering which threatened them would prove too mrch for their patience, and lead, as in former days, to lamentable out- ; Whether, whatever might bo the power of en- ranee in the minds of the operatives, their physical (powers at loast would be limited, and the diseases which are the satellilas of famine would desolate their homes; ‘whether, lastly, the trade would ever revert to its former conditions, and if it did not, whether tha skilled mill hawts would be able to adapt themselves to other forms of labor—theso and many similar questions occasioned the nd no one could these throe abort have = nag of the nation Deng: poverish: it materially grew in wealth throughout the period of the deepest gloom.

Dowsine Stemer, June 17, 1865, Ay Lon—I have the honor to inform your lordship Ghat soverat conferences have been held between the four Canadian ministers who were deputed, under the minuto of your Executive Counc of March 24, to proceed mort to confor with her Majesty's government, on the ‘and the Duke of Somerset, the De drey, Mr. Gindstone and myself, on the parvof her wo ernment, Sn subject referred to in the minute—that of ‘the th dm ‘of the British North American pro- vincos—w f the Cabinet the assu- 0 Noy teen: given of tho dotermina- frances which already tion of hi joaty’s government to use ever, ir pA Hy carry into effect without hy the io the eeqend oolnd. WO entered into a full eousiqers. Canadian government and Parliament would think it de- sirable that the question of defensive works should await the decision of the government and legislature of the united provinces, On the part of her Majesty’s government we assented to the reasonableness of the pi | that if the provinee undertook the primary Mability for the works of defence mentioned in the letter of Lieutenant Colonel Jervois, and showed a sufficient security, her Majesty's government should apply to Parliament for a guarantee for the amount required; and we said that ter Malt govern- ment would furnish the armaments for the works. But we said that the desire and decision of the Pro- vincial Legislature ought to be pronounced before any ap- plication was made to the Imperial Parliament. On the subject of a naval force for Lake Ontario, we said that, apart from any question of expediency, the convention subsisting between this country and the United States rendered it impossible for either nation to place more than the specified number of armed vessela on the lakes in times of peace. In case of war it would, as a matter of course, be the duty of any government in’ this country to apply its means of naval defence according to the judgmont it might form up in the exigencies of each particular time, and the Canadian ministers might be assured that her Majesty’s government would not permit ivself to be found in such a position as'to be unable to discharge its duty in this respect. This was the only assurance the Canadan ministers could expoct, or wo could give. Upon a review of the whole matter the Canadian min- isters reverted to the proposal which has begn men- tioned above—that priority in point of time should be given to the confederation of the provinces. To this we, on the part of hor Majesty’s government, assented. In conformity, however, with a wish strongly expressed by the Canadian ministers, we further said that if, upon future consideration, the Canadian government should desire to ant'cipate the confederation, and to propose that Canada should execute the works, they should doubtless communicate to her Majesty's government that decision, and we trusted that after what had passed in these conferences they would feel assured that any such communication would be received by us'in the most friendly spirit. On the third point, the Reciprocity treaty, the Canadian ministers represented the great importanco to Canada of the renewal of that treaty, and requested that Dlr. F. Bruce might be put in communication with tho govern- ment of Lord Monck upon the subject. We replied that Sir F, Broce had alroady reoolved instructions to nego. tate for a renewal of the treaty, and toact in concert with the government of Canada, On the fourth point, the subject of the northwestern territory, the Canadian ministers, desired that thas terri- tory should be mada over to Canada, anc undertook to negot'ate with the Hudson's Bay Coinpany for the ter- mination of their rights, on comdition that the indemnity, if any, should be paid by a loan to be raised by Canada. under the imperial guarantee. With the sanction of the Cabinct we assented to this proposal, undertaking that if the negot ation should be anccessful we, on the part of the Crown, being satisfied that the amount of the in- domnity was reasonable and the seorrity suflicicnt, would apply to the Imperial Parliament to sanction the arrangement and to guarantee. the amount. On the last point it scomod sulliciont that bor Majesty’s government should accept the assurances given by the Canadian ministers on the part of Canada, that that province fs ready to devote all her resources both in men and money to the maintenance of her connection with the mother country, and should assure them in return that the imperial’ government fully acknowledged the reciprocal obligation of defending every portion of the empire with all the resorrees at its command, ‘The Canad an ministers, in conclusion, said that they hoped it would be und. rstood that the present communi- cations did not in any way affect oralter the correspond. enve which had already passed between the imperial government and the governments of the British North American provinces on the sulyectypf the inter-olonial railway. To this we entiroly agr od. Thave, & EDWARD CARDWELL. Confederation First—British A: Afterward: ‘rom the London wil war in Am liament, t airs of Canada and the sis. ter provinces have acquired an interest for English poli- ticians whieh kas been hitherto unknown, Our raders will therefore be curious to learn what has been the re- sult of the conferences between the Canadian delegates: and the British government, and In what position the two important questions of the confed ration between the provinces and of their fature relations, pol tical and military, wil the United Kingdom stand.’ A despaich from Mr. Cardwell to Lord Monck throws as much | ght on these topics ax can be given by an offie’al_ dicumeni, and announces arrangements wirich must before long bo bronght under the notice of Parliament, and receive the serious consideration of the British prblie, The chief subjects of dclib rat.on are pretty accurately known. The confeavration, the Reelprocity treaty, and the military aud naval defence of thy provin-es, have been’ discussed officially within the last fow weeks, and, we doubt not, with much the same argu- ments as in more popular quarters, Indeed, all,the most | dificult problems wh'eh can bs produced by a colon al gyster are bro ght together for the decision of this country by the visit of the Canadian deputation.

It will pro- bably be carried at last, for the advantages it presents are fur greater than any province can derive from a self- ish isolation. But all the influence of the Governor neral and the persvasions of the other Colonics will be necessary to overcome this ilitberal obstinacy. The opinions pf the English puble on this ialter are well known, There is nothing we desire more than that the various colonies should unite and form a new nation- ality, with English ideas and English forms of govern- m int, The tendency of commanitics ia towards azglom- | eration, and it 's only by this principle that the British provinces can hope to attain a high point of perity and fall security from foreign aggression, Suriisa matter on which we can only advise.

On Wednesday the Amethyst left the telegraph works with the last length of 245 miles of cable on board, and on Saturday the operation of coiling this in was be- gun. This work will probably last till the 22d inst. Be- fore the following spring tides set in, apout the 6th or 7th of July, the Great tern will start for Valontia. There she is expected to arrive about the #th or 10th, and there she will be met by the two ships of war appointed to con- voy her—the Terrible and the Sphinx. Both these ves- sels are being fitted with the best apparatus for deep-sea soundings, with buoys and means for buoying the end of tho cable, if ever it should become necessary, and with Bollen’s night light naval signals, with which the Great Eastern is likewise to be supplied. To avoid all chance of accident, the big ship will not approach the Irish coast nearer than twenty or twenty-five miles, and her stay off Valentia will be limited to tho time occupied in making a splice with the massive shore end, which fora leugth of twenty-five miles from the coast will be laid previous to her arrival. With rogard to the process of laying, it is hoped the Eastern may be kept throughout the whole voyage atauniform speed of six knots per hour, faster than which it would not be safe, as a rule, to run out the cable, At lesa speed than this, however, the big ship would fail of steerage way, and with a beam wind would certainly go to leeward without some counteracting in- fluence. ‘This influence will be afforded if necessary by the paddle engines, which are to be disconnected, aud the efforts of ono wheel at either side would be quite | sufficient to overbalance the effects of anything but a { very violent storm.

The New Governor of South Carolina. Letter from the Italian Prime Minister on Belligerent Rights. An Appeal te the Democracy to Rally in Support of the President, &., &., &e. Wassmaron, July 3, 1865. THE CONTINUED ILLNESS OF THE PRESIDENT. The health of the President was generally understood ‘wo be improvi but inquiries at the White House this evening elicited the fact that it 1s now worse than at any former period of his present illness, Though not in im- mediate danger his continued illness and present un- favorable symptoms awaken anxious solicitude among the few who are informed of his real condition, This was further increased by the report to-night that Surgeon General Barnes had been called in to consult with Dr. Burroughs, who has thus far been his medical attendant. THE APPOINTMENT OF GOVERNOR PERRY, OF SOUTH CAROLINA. ‘The interest in South Carolina affairs began to languish & week ago, but there was still a considerable amount of latent feeling on'the subject, developed from day to day by the various rumors put afloat by the friends of con- flicting policies. Dr. P. Mackey was generally accepted as the real representative of the genuine Union men of the State, and he was also understood to be opposed to the appointment of either of the persons named by the delegation as certain to be acceptable to the people at large. The members of the detegation were open to the charge of having been active secessionists throughout the war. The Cabinet was believed to be nearly evenly divided in opinion on the propriety of making any appointment at present. Many influential persons were urging upon tho President and Cabinet, that inas] much as South Carolina had been foremost and steadfast in hor adherence to the confederacy, retributive justice demanded that she be compelled to endure a probationary period of military government before the reins of civil authority were entrusted to her citizens. To add to the complications, stories were industriously circulated that @ widespread secret organization existed among the white inhabitants to compet all negroes to leave the tate. This and similar absurdities were retailed around hotel lobbies and strect corners, and served the mischievous purposo of their originators by inciting outside pressure against the appointment of a civil governor. Happily wiser counsels prevailed, and on Saturday the Prosidont detormined to end all dircussion by the appointment of Mr, Porry, a gontleman of acknowledged ability. Fur ther Cabinet discussions could have been productive of no good. Differences of opinion were honestly ontertained among its mombers, and the responsibility of action would have finally devolved upon Mr. Johuson. By. the appointment of Mr. Perry, he bas unmistakeably manifested his determina tion to adhere to his original policy of reconstruction, aud-to sup:rsede military by civil authority throaghout the entire country, Those entertaining the «trongest convictions against the wistom of the President's policy, accord him undoubted houesty of intention, and aca esce cheorfully in his resolve to make the trial of govern ing the rebellious States by civil law. TUE ITALIAN PRIME MINE st ON 'GERENT nianrs. The following friendly note bas been addressed by Gonoral La Marmora, the Prime Minister of Italy, to Mr. Marsh, the United States Minister in that country Fiorsxcr, June 6, 1365. Mx.

Charles Mason, chair- man of the Domocratié National Association Of this dis- thict, on behall of the President. It is intended moro as 8 placforua for tho futtire organization of the party than a a cait for (mmoediate concert of action. The address sold out with declaring that in the beginning all demo: crate believed that pace and Union were compat ble and could be secured by cone!liatory measures, and that after the war commenced the great mass of democrats acquiesced in it as an unavoidable calamity, to be prosecuted for the sole purpose of restoring the Union; beli@ving that aa soon as this objoct was at tained the war ought to coase, It takes strong ground against conforring = tpon negroes the rights of citizenship, on tho ground that they are uo. qualified by education, aud asa race so greatly inferior to the whites as to lower the standard of average in- telligence by intermingling. This is declared to bea white man’s government, and the negro a foreign ole- ment which cannot be successfully assimilated. immediate roadinission of the rebellious States to the sacred circle, with all their rights and privileges an abridged, is also urged on the ground that the federal government cannot exist while a portion of ¢ States composing it are free and another port.on virtually onslaved by military government. The addross declares unlimited confidence in the wisdom, integrity and democracy of President Johnson, concluding in the | | following eutogistic terms: — It is hardly a superstitious fancy which regards him as having been specially ordained for this great and glori ous mission. ‘The designs of Heaven begin now to be visible throughout. At the head reunited democracy of the t gon is, we believe, destined to repair and restore t cherisied institutions which have boen so fearfully tored and seemingly overturned, and to receive th dying gratitude of & rountted country and the be tions of all future ages. Be ft ours to share in th sciousness of having contributed to the sare result. RECHIPTS PROM PASSPORTS. Mr. A. Tunstall Welch, in charge of the passport office of the State Department, informs me that over twelve thousand dollars have been collected for the United States Treasury as passport fees by himself alone during tho quarter just onded. Our people have been fusing abroad at a surprising rate for two months past, but the applications are slightly falling off, Last year the gross receipts of his desk wero only a trifle over fifteen thousand doliars, A large proportion of passports re- cently granted were to persovs bound for German ports, @n route to Berlin and Vienna. RESTITUTION. ‘An oconsional instance occurs of restitution for con seionce sake of withheld governinent taxes. A Phila. dolphin banker has just notified the Treasury Department that ho unwillingly made an error in his own favor by withholding forty five thousand dollars from his returns, and enclosed one hundred and t taxes due upon it. THR BXPOSR OF THE UNITED SERVICH PRTAOLECK COMPANY. Tho expos of the United Service Potroleum and Mining Company creaya considorable discussion here, fad predictions ares made (hat Mr, Mana will bay The | nty-five dollars for @ heavy burden to bear. On the contrary, It is asserted ‘that some of his friends who have been activein dis posing of the stock are possessed of ample moans and able to furnish any bail required below » balf million of dollars. “ ARRIVAL OF MAJOR GENERAL POPS. Major General John Pope, accompanied by General ‘Smith and Colonel Morgan, of his staff, arrived ia Wash- ington to-day. General Pope is hore by orders. He has received no official notification of any change in his com- mand, and the object of his coming is supposed to be one of congultation concerning the condition and ueces- sities of his military division.

THE PREEDMEN AT ARLINGTON. A radical change of has beon inaugurated in the management of the freedmen’s village at Arlingtow since the Ist of May. Previous to that time its in- habitants were supplied at government expense with» wood, clothing and rations, and wore allowed thoir house rent free. Since then they have been furnished nothing, and have been charged a nominal rent for the tenements. Instead of remaining a source of ox- penditure, the village now affords a small income. ¥ORD'S THEATRE NOT PURCHASED BY THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees for the purchase of Ford's theatre, held yesterday, the following resola- tion was passed :— Resolved, That this Board, inted at the conven- ‘ion ot the Young Men’s Saris ian termine at Phila- el at ‘suggestion jes not resident im Facbianne: relying upon the Ka erg 80 cord Promised them, entered into negotiations with Mr. and obtained a refusal of the property until July 1. Taeir appeal to the public, so far as it has boom possible to make it im the short time allowed, hag met with go little encouragement that they do not feel authorized to close the bargain by making the first pay- ments, They, however, do not relinquish the hop of securing at an early day the requisite funds to erect a memorial building in the capital of the nation as the most fitting testimonial of the nation’s love for our mar- tyred President.
