SlK ChABL . ES BARRY AMD THE NEW PALACE OP Westminster . —Copies of further correspondence between the Office of "Works and Sir Charles Barry , &c , respecting his remuneration as architect of the New Palace at W estminster up to the present date , have been printed by order of Parliament , on the motion of Mr . Drummond , M . P . The papers refer to the old dispute between Sir Benjamin Hall and the Government , and include a ' protest' made by him last February , to the effect that , as no bargain was made by the Government with Sir Charles Barry in 1839 , he . is consequently entitled to the usual commission , of five per cent , on' the outlay . Mr . Henry A . Hunt , a surveyor of works and
buildings ( to whom the protest appears to have been referred ) , states his opinion to the effect that Sir Charles Barry has placed his' case upon a wrong issue in treating it as a commercial question , and that , how inadequate soever Sir Charles may have thought the remuneration offered him by Government in 1839 , he nevertheless agreed to bow to the decision , and to that agreement he should have adhered . The Treasury did not deem it necessary- to reply to Sir Charles Barry ' s protest , as they considered the question as finally settled by their « minute ' of the 4 th of July , 1856 , to which Sir Charles Barry assented ; and thus the matter is to drop . — Times .
ScABCrrr of Cotton . —A . large public meeting of the Cotton Supply Association was held at the Town Hall , Manchester , on Friday week , to consider the present inadequate snpply of cotton , and the best means of extending its' growth . Mr . J . Watts , Mayor of Manchester , presided , and there were present Lord Stanley , M . P . | Colonel W . Patten , M . P . ; Mr . W . H . Hornby , M . P . ; Mr . Kershaw ^ M . P . ; Sir A . Ramsay , M . P . ; M * . Jamra Plftt , M . P , &c . Mr . J . A . Turner , M . P ., moved tie fi ? at resolution , which was as follows : — " That , in Ihfe Opinion of this meeting , the supply of cotton to'thi ? country is inadequate to the requirements of manufacturing industry , and , being almost entirely dorive&HcapMgte source , is uncertain in quantity and
unduly fluctuating in price . That this meeting believes the . colonial ' and other dependencies of Great Britain afford anople resources for the cultivation and development of the cotton plant , and that it is the duty as well as the interest of the British nation to aidrln the promotion of those efforts by means of which its growth may be extended not only in the British dominions , but in all accessible countries . " Several speakers having addressed the meeting ( amongst them Lord Stanley , who remarked on the in judiciousness of our depending entirely on the United States for our supply of cotton ) , Mr . E . " W . Watkins , M . P . for Yarmouth , moved the second resolution : — " That this meeting hails with satisfaction the formation of the Cotton Supply Association in Manchester , and pledges itself to use its best
endeavours to promote the objects of that association , and that the petition to the House of Commons now read in support of the petition of Mr . J . B . Smith , M . P ., upon the affairs of India , so far as that motion has reference to an increase in the supply of cotton from that country , be adopted by this meeting . " The petition recited the importance of the cotton manufacture , and stated that it amounted last year to more than 38 , 000 , 000 / . ; that the raw material last year was 900 , 000 , 0001 b ., of which 700 , 000 , 0001 b . were received from the United States ; and that the Legislature abolished slavery without providing for a supply of free labour . It concluded with a prayer for the removal of obstacles to a better supply of cotton from India . Mr . James Platt , M . P ., seconded , and Sir A . Ramsay supported this resolution , which was agreed to .

^ London , Friday Evening , June 26 , 1857 . The Funds have failed to exhibit any feature of animation during the week , remaining for the most part at 93 i , $ x . d . Heavy shares , also , have shown but little , if any ,, variation in price until this day , when , although Consols opened and closed at 93 J , | , some ruled at improved prices . Money , although somewhat easier , in demand , continues active , and in the event of the next quotations of Eastern exchanges not proving adverse , a further reduction in the rate of interest may bo looked tpv . The directors of the Bank of France yesterday lowered their rate of discount £ per cent ., making the rato 5 | per cent ., in face of tho reduction in their stock of bullion—a measure which has failed to produce any favourable impression on Trench prices .
