WAKEFIELD, MAY 28.—During the week the country markets are reported very firm for wheat, with a tendency to advanced prices; this, with our short supply here to-day, causes more money to be asked, but we can only note the trade slow at any improvement.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, MAY 23.—There has been a moderate amount of sales of combing wools this week to su pp l y the current wa n t s o f t h e manufacturers, and prices are firm at last week's rates. In clothing wools there is not an y chan g e. LIVERPOOL WO OL , MAY k7.—Fine wools are much in quired for at advanced prices. Low wools steady at full rates. 1,500 bales East India, and 6,030 Buenos Ayres, will be sold 9th June. Imports the past week nil. Yoaa: WooL, MAY 27.—The supply of wool at our market this day was short, not more than 40 to 50 sheets having been shown. The small skew may be attributed to the farmers who hold their clips at an advanced price, which the jobbers are not willing to accede to, and the market ruled most deci dedly lower. THE TfiAiii OF Ltsns.—There has this week been rather more business done both in the cloth-halls and by direct deli veries off the market days. More dispositions is to purchase is evinced in consequence of the advance obtained for wool at the present London sales, but no advance can be got on goods, and the maufacturers complain of want of remuneration. About an average amount of business has been done in the warehouses during the week by the home trade, and although business is much duller than usual amongst the shipping houses, some little improvement has, nevertheless, taken place during the last few weeks. BRADFORD, MAY 27.—There was a larger amount of bu ness transacted than on the previous Thursday. An advance in price was attempted on pieces and yarns, but we have not heard that it was in any case obtained. If the position of spinners and manufacturers was difficult before, what must it be now that cotton warps and Australian wool have so decid edly advanced?

TRADE or MANCHESTER, MAY 27.—The continued excite ment in the Liverpool market, from renewed speculative pur chases of cotton, consequent on the American advices on Mon day by the Niagara steamer, give but little hope of a steadier and more prudent course of action until the effect of later ad .yicei here has been felt on the other side, and buyers of yarns and of cloths have been rather more disposed to submit to the _ advanc&consequent on this state of affairs than they were on Tuesday. Spinners have'in some cases obtained a slight ad vance in price of yarns, although it was yielded with difficulty, and there has been a fair amount of business. In 36-inch printing cloths quotations may also be advanced Id per piece, and though exporters buy with caution, their more pressing orders, which could no longer be delayed, have given a per ceptible impetus to the market today. The principal busi ness, besides some buying for the home trade, was on India, German, and United States account Bate's West Hartley.. 13s 6d Eden Main .•••• C ch ar e r s ' t s er H m a a rt id le . y .. .. .. .... . ....: Prices of C° Co A al L pe lls•A r to ß n il at E t T he — c Y lo E s: T o i c ilD th A e T m . market :- 15s Od Boddie's W.

A letter from Ylorence of the 20:b states that ad vocate FERDINAND ANDREUCCI has resigned his post of councillor of state, in consequence of the abo lition of the Tuscan Constitution. He is a man uni versally esteemed, and of the same political shade as Marquis Ro4oLpr. He was a member of the Cabinet which opened the Tuscan Chambers in 1848, and he kept aloof from public business when the revolution broke out. The correspondent adds, that his resigna tion has not yet been accepted.

WHITTINGTON CLUB. On Thursday evening last the Rev. Ri c h ar d B oy l e de . livered r learned and interesting lecture before the mem bers of theWhittington Club upon " The Rise and Progress of the English Language." It was well attended by a highly respectable, and, to judge from the frequent bursts of hearty applause, a well=delighted audien ce . Th e lec turer, in his preliminary observations, spoke in eulo g i s ti c terms of the great exertions of Milton, Locke, Swift, Sheridan, Johnson, Walker, &c., to promote, among all classes of Englishmen, abetter and more English system of education; but he deeply regretted to remark that their labours had not produced fruits comm ensurate w i t h the magnitude of the intelligence . brought to b ear upon the subject, a n d th a t o ur universities continued, as they had always done, to disregard, as a matter of minor im portance, the English, and to postpone it to the study of the Twin and Greek languages. "And what," asked the lecturer, " was the consequence? Why, that there is not in England, at the present moment (now that Moore, the last of the poets, has been gathered to his fathers) either among our statesmen or among our poets, a single name which will bear even a distant comparison either with the Pitts, and Chatham, and Burkes, and Foxes, and Currans, or with the Goldsmiths, the Byrons, the Campbells, the Southeye, the Burns, of the present and last centuries." lie concluded his lecture by reading, as specimens of the present :clas sical form of the English language, Burke's "Apostrophe to the Queen of France" and " Othello's Address to the Senate." Upon the oratorical delivery of these two well-known pieces, we will merely remark, that his style of delivery, distinct enunciation, dignified expression of countenance, and just apprecia tion of character, place him among the very best elocu tionists we have ever heard, and that, judging from the successful debia of last Thursday, we can entertain no doubt but he will act& prove ote of the most valu able, and iniaructive, -and rary nstitutions. popular lecturers at our lite i g Journal of this day.)

THE PACIFIC PIRATES.—We learn, from the Pacific, that the fate of Cambiaso and his accomplices had not been settled on the 25th March; it was tolerably certain, however, that a great number of these piratical scoun drels would be shot. The Eliza Cornish, recaptured schooner, had left for England, under charge of Mr. Bateman, late Master Commanding her Majesty's store ship Nereus. PROVISIONING THE BEHRINC'S STRAITS EXPEDITION. —Her Majesty's ship the Amphitrite. Captain Frede rick, left Callao on Bth April, for Behring's Straits, with provisions for the Plover. Quantities of preserved melts had peen condemned on board the various ships, some tons of which are coming home. Comman der Rocbfort Maguire, appointed to supersede Captain Moore in command of the Plover, on promotion, pro ceeded in the Amphitrite. The Friend of China, of March 27th, says:—" By a recent arrival from the Sandwich Islands we learn that news had been received from her Majesty's ship Enterprise, Commander Collin son, C. 8., to the eff at that Captain Moore, of the Plover, was dangerously ill—thecrow all suffering from scurvy, and the vessel perfectly rotten." We have already stated that, if deemed advisable, the Amphitrite is to replace the Plover, and the latter is to return to Rio. CAPTAIN HAWKEY OF THE ROYAL MARINES.—We hear that this_ much inju ed officer has commenced an action of trim. con. against Lieutenant Swain. He has laid his damages at five thousand pounds. UNATTACHED PAY.—Six general officers have this week been placed upon the unattached pay of twenty-five shillings per diem. They are Major-Generals Home, Everard, Bishopp, Hon. George Cathcart, Spink, and Jackson. We are at a loss to know the grounds on which preference has been given to General home, whose service dates from 1813 only, and who has been one of those fortunate then who jumped from cornet to captain, and captain to lieutenant colonel—but the war services of the ethers are on record. The Coloneicy of the 2d Dragoons has been conferred on Major-General Archibald Money, C.B. and MC., a cavalry officer of great deserving. Lieutenant-General Lord Frederick Fitzolarence, G.C.H., will proceed to Bombay to assume the com mand of the troops in that Presidency, in her Majesty's steam-frigate Arrogant, 46 guns. After landing his Lordship, the ship will proc ed to Rangoor. BOMBAY STAFF.—Paymaster Gilley, 7th Fusiliers,' accompanies Lieutenant-General Lord Frederick Fitz clarence to Bombay as Aide•do-Camp, resigning, of course, his present appointments in the Regiment. Major Harvey will also be placed on the Staff of his Lordship as Military Secretary. COURTS -MARTIAL. —lt appears that 804 courts-mar tial have taken place in the 13th Light Infantry, be tween: the 28th of July, 1845, and the 23d May, 1851 I!! THE NEW RIFLE MUSKET.—The Ordnance Depart ment have given directions to the barrack -masters to issue to regiments of infantry target frames and ten traversing rests; and to each depot of infantry eight target frames and four traversing rests for ball practice with the new rifle musket. CAMP EQUIPAGE —The Board of Ordnance has is• sued camp equipages to the troops serving in Ireland, for the purpose of practising pitching tents, the same to commence on the Ist of Jane. MEDICAL DEPARTNENT.—Ia consequence of the de cease of Surgeon Thompson, 94th Regiment, Assistant Surgeon Carr, 25th Regiment, in addition to his own duties, has taken the temporary charge of the office of Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals at Madras. ATTACK OF STOCKADES.—P[OViOUS to the embarka tion of the 80th Regiment for service in Burmah, they were practised in the cunette of Fort William, Calcutta, in a sham attack and storming of stockades, crossing the ditch and placing their bamboo scaling ladders against the angle of the bastion opposite the town. The spectacle was most interesting, but it was thought the men were taken too slowly to their work, and that too much pre cision was required of them in their movements to render the operations effective even in a sham fight.

By the operation of cer t a i n gases, acting on this fatty matter, when in a state of saponification, stearic acid is pro duced of a white substance, almost like alabaster ; this again is run into candles. They have been very largely sold in this country, to the extent of hundreds of ton s; and although rival companies have insinuated that the candles could not be made, or, if made, not at the price, yet we are told that it has paid, and p ai d well, to import and sell them here and in the colonies, although charged with extra duty, freight, & c ., equa l to 20 per cent.

We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette,. May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarceiy left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reacts of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical l'res, April 28, 1852.

The capture of Rangoon has opened the Burmese war with a brilliant feat of arms, and we shall be happy to learn that the irresistible force of th e British squadron on the coast, and the full - of :the chief po r t of Buraiab has at once convinced the Court of Ava of th e inexpedi ency of prolonging so unequal and so disastrous a contest. But we cannot confidently entertain any such expects ' tion. From the time of year at which we are now ar rived, it is extremely doubtful whether these operations can be followed up with effect before the rainy season. It was not till the 25th of March that dispatches were re. ceived by the flagship on the East Indian station, then lying at Penang, to direct the Admiral to proceed to the scene of action. The Indian Government appears till then to have relied on some illusory hope of arrange ment. On the 28th of March Admiral Austen sailed for Rangoon in the Rattler screw-steamer, but, to the great surprise and disappointment of the officers on the station, the Admiral thought proper to leave his flagship (the Hastings) at Penang, several hun dred miles from the theatre of war. In spite, therefore, of the laudable diligence displayed by the Indian dock yerd.a and especially at Bombay, and the fact that a large steam rquadron was assembled in the Gulf of Martaban early in the month of April, we are by no means sure that there will be time enough to enable Generel Godwin to make a decisive &donee into the interior. Rangoon has at once been taken, es was cx pected; but, situated as that place is in the low and marshy delta of the Irrawaddi, the lands about the city are completely flooded in the rainy season. On the outbreak of the last war Rangoon cared no serious resistance; but the Burmese Govern meat had contrived to remove the whole po pulation into the interior. Their other fortified positions, at liemendine and Donabcw, had still to be carried, not without difficulty, and by separate expedi tions; and no effect whatever was produced on tho Court of Ava until the invading army had penetrated far into the interior. It is, therelcre, by no means certain that the capture of Rangoon and the adjacent forts will now bring the enemy to terms; and, on the other hand, to hold these places duriegehe rainy season precisely the most trying and unwhok some position in which cur army can be placed. At Prome, which is a considerable distance up the stream, the banks become higher ar.d the climate more healthy. Sir A. Campbell's division p assed the rainy season t h ere i n th e former cam paign without inconvenience. It easy here be observed that t t h he ischannel Rangoon is situated on the (=tme eastern channel of Irrawaddi, culled the Panlang or Rangoon River, and cot on the principa l stream. The point forks e er poaysesrabitlewfiethr ourdiffi ceutelat at which d onkl only be taken -- itat th eirjataof the ex from the mainstream is so shallow or principal stream offers ru much it h would,g reater therefore, facilities middle lot o t n li a o - - vigation, and we have reasont _ eh a t i o Ps hel f e w v a e r. th l at he a bettle ship of the slay of the was a unaccountably left by the Admirl if she had not been channel fora considerable distance,ll wtings might ascend that s a t t e s in of the squadron at Penang. The shallow w n channel even for hthyeßbao - g an n d o e f d lB2s was found to be far too The most calamitous part of the camp thbeyChit be which the attempt to march the division comm a' Ge neral Morrison into the Burmese territory from tagong frontier. The passage of the mountains In;erPcasludditi" cold separate Arracan from Burmah was believed to im practicable, and the army was compelled to remain . the pestilential flats until it was disorganized and well nigh destroyed by disease. Hence an opinion has arisen that the line of the Irrawaddi is the only practicable mode of invading the Burman empire. But on this point an im portant discovery was made just after the conclusion of the peace, which left the province of Arrecan in our hands. It was ascertained that a road of unusual excellence had been constructed by the Burmese themselves in 1816 from a place called Sembwgbewn, situated on the Irrawaddi, acme 300 miles from its mouth, to Aeng, in Arracan, now a British posses sion. Captaint Trent was accordingly sent by Sir A. Campbell with a battalion of Sepoys and the elephants of the army to explore this road, which he found in excellent condition, and much frequented by the natives for purposes of trade. The whole distance from the Irrawaddi to Aeng is only 124 miles, and this march was accomplished by the detachment with the elephants in eleven days. If General Morrison had known of the existence of this road his division would have been en abled to join the main army on its march up the river, and he might have arrived to take part in the battle of Pagahm-mew, which terminated the war. The present ruling race in Burmah poured down some eighty years ago from the mountains of Thibet upon the comparatively feeble and defenceless kingdoms of Pegu, Arracan, and Martaban, and they continue to hold the previous inhabitants of the soil in close sub jection. Their conquest of this territory was, indeed, not entirely dissimilar from the Mogul conquest of Hin dostae, and on both shores of the Bay of Bengal we find a people smarting under a foreign yoke which it seems our own strange destiny to impose on their masters. But, in truth, the monuments still existing of the former grandeur of the Pep empire attest the progressive decline of the country. From the arrogant tone lately assumed by the Court of Ave there can be liltle doubt that preparations for this war have been made on a vast scale. The Burmese are no longer ignorant, as they were in 1825, of the power of the enemy they have rashly provoked; though they may well be unprepared for the enormous increase of the military and naval power of civilized nations, which has taken place since that period. The force now brought against them must prove irresistible, if its operations are conducted with energy, and adapted to the seasons in that country. But in spite of the success which has already crowned our arms by the capture of Rangoon, it may be well to remember that we have to deal with a , crafty enemy and a dangerous country, and that in the ' campaign of 1825 the mistakes occasioned by want of attention to the peculiar climate of this region were far more fatal to our troops than all the stockades and gingala of the Burmese.— Times.

A Board of Admiralty are expected down at Ports mouth to-morrow evening, and it is said will proceed to the Channel Islands. The Black Eagle, Admiralty yacht, arrived here yesterday afternoon for the purpose of conveying the Board across the Channel. Confti e t:screw-slooP, Commander Jenner, will be paid off, and it has been current to-day that the Hogue, 60, Captain Macdonald, will also be paid off so soon as she has completed her three years, and will afterwards be commissioned and do the steam reserve duties at Ply mouth, as the Blenheim does at Portsmouth. Porcupine steamer was brought to the buoy off the KiDg'S•StairS to-day, where Mr. King, the master of the Neptune, will swing her compasses. The Porcupine will go to the west . coast of Scotland, for the protection of the fishery. We understand that the " paying down" and "leave" system has not answered so well as it was supposed it would, and that the Queen will be probably " paid off" at Plymouth, instead of being " paid down"—but we give this only as a report.
