ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. SHEFFIELD. On Thursday a large open-air meeting was held in Paradise-square, to receive our borough Members, Messrs. Parker and Roebuck, as candidates for re. election. The hour fixed for the meeting was two o'clock in the afternoon, and a few minutes before that hour, Messrs. Parker and Roebuck appeared in the square with a number of the members of their committee, who had lunched with them at the Royal Hotel. The attendance was not very numerous. Mr. CILOWTHEIt propwed that the Mayor should be sent for to preside ; the motion was seconded by Mr. Ronessole. and carried by a general show of hands. The MAvon, having arrived, was received with cheers. He hoped that they would show that a Shef field audience would give a fair hearing to every man who might have to speak. He first introduced Mr. Parker. Mr. PARKER—(Cheers, with an attempt at hooting, and cries of " Order) —Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, having been for many years the representative of this borough in Parliament, I assure you that though I have a deep sense and conviction, which experi ence has not removed, of my unfitness, to a cer tain extent, for the great task I have undertaken, I have been sustained by the principles that have always animated me, and I never came before you with greater confidence in the position I have maintained. __(Cheers.) Yet, gentlemen, strange to say, though that word " Protection" has for many years been familiar in our ears as household words in the mouths of a certain party in the House of Commons —though that House has been mystified, though some counties have been seduced, though boroughs not intelligent and large like this, in some parts of the country have b e en deluded with the idea of a return to this Eleusi nian mystery of protection, so great a change has come over the spirit of the dream of that party, and since the change of the Government—since Lord Derby, the head and foundation of the Protectionist party, was called to office—since the Protectionist chief summoned his Protectionist colleagues around him, and formed what the world vainly believed to be a Protectionist Government—yet now the word is never named by that party—and the only people from whom we hear nothing of protection are the Protec tionists. They never mention it—" that once f am iliar word." It seems as if, by common consent, whether in speeches in the House of Commons, or in addresses to constituencies, or in the usual inter course between political men and their connexions, the phrase that used to animate their phalanx is dis used by common consent. Having subverted the late Administration, and being n.Ar on the sunny side of Downing-street, the very subject which formerly bound and confederated them together is forgotten, and they are going about the country addressing the owns as Free-traders ' and reserving protection for counties. I beg to advise you—whoever may have the honour of representing you in the next Parlia ment, to send, be they who they may, gentlemen who have given bail fur free trade. I do not presume to say that I am the right man to represent you; upon that point it is for others to give an opinion ; but this I have a right to say, - as a member of the British public= as one who has seen something of public affairs, and who !move a little how things are worked in the House of Commons--whomsoever you send to Parliament, send men who will adhere to this policy, and who, by their conduct in the pas: have given assurance of their conduct for the future. Whatever difference of opinion there may be, and there must always he differences, not only among op ponents, but difference of degree among those who have common objects—and of those differences I do not oomph-.in—it must at least be acknowledged by those who have considered the commercial and finan cial affairs of the country, that they have been handed over to the new Government in a way that reflects no discredi'e on those :oho have recently hold power. The peace of Europe—of England—has been maintained : profound peace, so far as relates to the old dynasties of the continent, and the balance of power. There is in this country a firm determination, under all cir cumstances, it possible, to preserve peace, and to cul tivate friendly relations with all foreign countries. But there is a resolution also, with energy and with success, to maintain our rights, and to uphold the honour of the British flag and the glory of the British name in all quarters of the world. Such is the policy of the English Parliament, and such, I am sure, must be that of any person whom the electors of Sheffi e ld will send to that House. The MAYOr then announced that Mr: Parker was ready to answer questions. The first put was " The Ballot." Mr. PAIMER—SouIe yeati ago I voted for the ballot. For the last five or six years I have not voted upon it at all.—(Laughter.) It is quite true, gentlemen. Ido not deny the popularity of the ballot at present. I know the great interest with which it is viewed by a large class of persons ; and I really have no strong opinion against it, as is proved by my having, as I said, voted for it.—(Laughter.) I am not singular in saying, and it is the opinion of a great many practical end thinking men, that I am not so (=Eden!: of the efficiency of the ballot as to feel fullyjustified in advocating it with warmth. I very much doubt its efficiency. I doubt whether it would accomplish the object.—(" Let us try it.") As I tell you, I have already voted for it. ( " And you voted against it last week.") No I did not. I have no strong opinion on it one way or the other ; and I voted for it twice a few years ago, in deference to what I believed to be the opinion of the borough. I have not voted against it ; but I am bound as an honest man to say that I do not believe the result would be what the public expect. Having this be lief, I owe it to you to state it without reserve. Mr. ROEBUCK — (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I be gan public life in 1832. I was then, as lam now, a Radical Reformer.—(Cheers.) I have always advo cated the largest extension of the suffrage. I have voted always with my friend, Mr. Hume.—(Hear.) I have supported the ballot.—("You did not run away like Parker."—Laughter.) If you will let sue go through steadily as I wish, I will answer an y ques tion afterwards. I take it that as far as regards my self there can be no doubt about the ballot. I have always supported , as I have told vou , a n extension of the suffra ge . I have also voted for triennial Parlia ments. I Tw will tell against annual Parliaments ,— ( " Wh y are you?") about the confusion you why.

W e trade, and let me inform you we do net intend question gainedt free it.—(Cheers.) Now I come to the next point, ° lose the last. I am about to address myself to the q of education; and I come now to the great doctrine of civil and religious liberty. My opinion is this, that the opinions of a man with respect to religious views are between himself and his Almighty Maker. m y voice, here and elsewhere, has always been raised in the great cause of civil and religious liberty. Some gentleman below asked what Mr. Parker did about the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Now, had I wanted to court popularity in this town, what should I have done ? I should have fallen in with the leading principles and views of that time. And let me tell you that the people of England were against the Ca tholics on that occasion. But I said then, as I say n ow, that Ireland is Catholic, England is Protestant, Scotland is something of a stronger degree of Pro testantism. You see very few bishops in Scotland. That being the case, I, as a statesman, was bound to consider how to govern this country, and it so pleased the Catholics to_ do certain things which I thought not wise, certainly because they gave offence to the great body of their :country men • yet, having done s o, I was bound to in q uire whether in reality they bed attacked the peace, the comfort, or the rights of their fellow citizens, and I was bound to say they had no t. Until they had, I thought legislation concern ingand .therefore I voted against the them unwise, Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.—( ear, hear.) And what is more, I suspect that the Noble Lord who pro posed that Bill is now very sorry for what he has done. _ (Laug ht e r.)

Now, I think 1 h av ,; you what my views are. Let me make well told Sheffield One before I conclude. I came t o observation in 1851. I stated nay views in this very Eq Zb are fa . ell was elected without opposition. Since then I hive appeared twice or thrice before my constituency, and given every explanation t hat was in my power, and upon every occasion. I have had the approbation of those who heard me. Well, then, Gentlemen, I have not changed. I have very often heard of the fickle breath of popular applause. I will not believe in that dictum. I believe that when a man does his duty by you, you will do your duty by him.—(Cheers.) If he has betrayed no trust, if he has pursued no paltry self-interest, if he has done his duty as a man, mark you, that the dishonour of rejecting him will not fall upon him.—(Hear, hear.) I have nothing more to explain, unless you ask me. I have no secrets to hide. What you demand by way of explanation you shall have. Again I say lam not changed, and I with confidence appeal to you.—(Cheers.) Mr. WATERHOUSE said that those who saw the re port of the proceedings of the House of Commons of Monday would find that Mr. Roebuck had spoken slightingly of the proceedings of those gentlemen who were often heard in Exeter-hall, and that he also expressed it as his opinion that nothing less than extermination would be sufficient to settle the dispute in Kafirland. He would now call upon Mr. Roe buck, who had previously given him an explanation, to explain to the meeting what he said on that occa sion.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ROEBUCK—Lord J. Russell, Sir W. Moles worth, and Mr. Gladstone explained their views with regard to the system in Kafirland. I rose late in the debate, after Sir J. Pakington, the Colonial Se cretary, and I said to him, " I don't think that you understand all that is in this question. There is a feeling at the bottom that neither you nor Lord John Russell, nor Mr. Gladstone, nor Sir William Moles worth has touched, and that is the religious feeling of the great body of the more religious public of this country—the pronounced religious opinion of the country; and for the purpose of denoting the class to whom I allude, I will take the name of Exeter-hall, and for brevity employ that term." There are people here who heard that speech. " And," I said, employing this phrase, " a great body of men of the greatest re spectability, of strong opinions, who deserve the greatest regard, are against this continuous aggres sion against the Kafirs ; and, depend upon it, if you propose to give power to the colonists to govern them selves and to regulate their own frontier, you give them the power of war; and if you give them the power to wage war and to protect themselves, they will exterminate the natives, and the people of whom I am speaking will be most opposed to such a pro ceeding." [Mr. W. Smith—" I read it so."] " And, mark, the people of England won't bear with these wars. You are taking your troops there. That will, of necessity, incur on us great expense. The people of England generally won't bear that. Now, you are in this difficulty :—You can only maintain your colonies well, as colonies, by giving power to the colonists. By giving power to the colonists you run the risk of arousing the anger and indignation of that class of whom I speak. That is your difficulty. You cannot get out of it by the present system. You in cur all the horrors of war, and all the expense, and extermination will follow, and anger will be in the people of this country."—(Hear, hear.) Now is there anything there disrespectful to the Dissenters of this country'? The MaYou.--Will any gentleman ask any more questions ? (A. Voice—" I wish to ask hi m a b out Coppock.") Mr. HARVEY, after disclaiming, any collusi on w ith Mr. Roebuck, and assuring th ta the n. 6nt.l the meeting c t h a th c e had e. not yet spoken to him, begged h man would give an explanation of action.—(Hear.) Mr. Reenume—ln 1832 Mr. Hume introduced me to Bath, and that constituency came to the conclusion that they would bear the exnenses of their own elec tion. At the next election they did the same thing. At the third election they did the same. At the fourth election my friends came to me and said, " Can you get any help in the way of bearing your proper ex penses from any of your friends?" I said, " I will tell you this ; I won't bear any—(Laughter)—but, if my own personal friends choose to help me, I see no reason why they should not." Oa that occasion my friends s aid, " We could not return two Radicals, but we might return one if the Whigs would join us." The Whigs were then in office. Mr. Stanley, now Lord Stanley of Alderley, was the Secretary 1 , to the Treasury. I went to him, and told him what had occurred. Hear, now, the fact which has startled many people. "I am going dover," said he, " to attend necessarily t!) my own election ; correspond through certain persons '—one of whom (Mr. Roebuck continued) I will not not name, because there ie no necessity to drag names before the public—" but at all events write to Coppock. I wrote to Mr. Cop pock on the state of the town. Mr. Stanley applied to Lord Duncan, and Lord Duncan came down. A friend of mine who knew what had occurred about the expenses of Bath said a few days before to me, "We have a private fund, subscribed to by many Radicals as well as others, and we will send some of the money to bear the expenses of the Bath election." And that friend of mine, knowing that Mr. Coppock would meet me on a certain day, said, " Give that to Mr. Roebuck ;" and I carried it dewn to Bath, and it formed a portion of the expenses that were necessarily incurred. Mr. Coppocle's name was mentioned in the House of Commons this year, and I then said that Mr. Coppock had not interfered in any election of mine, and therefore I was not called upon to vote his expulsion from the Reform Club. I also said then, and I eey now, that neither he nor any other man would have dared to interfere in my election as he had inter fered in the St. Alban's election.—(Hear.) Now, I had really and entirely forgotten that 1 had written to Mr. Coppock, because in reality I had written to Mr. Samley ; the communication was with Government, we wanting a Whig candidate, and the fact of my having written to Mr. Coppock had dropped out of my mind. But what is the imputation in this ? My expanses were paid partly by the constituency, and partly by my own personal friends. But when a man says here, when I am not present—(Hear) — that I am a Member " by the grace of Coppock"— (Hear, hear, and cheers)—let me ask that Learned Gentleman what his own case is. —(Hear, hear.) I never asked anybody to bear my personal expenses. I don't blame him for having made any arrangements about his ; but I de say that any man who could say " I refuse to come here, even to appear as a candidate, unless my expenses are paid," should think twice be fore he imputes—for imputation there was—dishonour to me because the expenses were paid. by my,friends.— (Applause.) Now, what is going to take place at this election ? lam going to do as I always have done; I am not going to pay any portion of my expenses, What occurred there will occur here. 'there are gentlemen here who, no doubt, think that to return me to Parliament is a matter for the public advantage —(Loud applause)—and they say, "We are not •ng to bribe Sheffield, but there are the necessary goi penses." And you will find, for whomsoever you ex act—the gentlemen who are ou this platform have found it out—that there are expenses, They must have a committee -room' they must have placards. These .things a re not got for nothing. And all those are legitimate expense i s n . 1847 , t O h / ink wa i s t g w iv a e ,, n by my friends to elect this pock affair amounts to " . and that is just what t P t I had f o rgotten that Mr . Coppock had any part in it. (Mr. Dunn reminded Mr. Roebuck that occurred in 1841 .) Oh yes, in 1841. It is 11 years ago. Well, in 1847 what occurred ? I stood again for Bath, and I made again the same declaration that I would not p a y , and my friends paid the electioneering expenses. And nay friends will pay them now.—(Cheers, and a cry e` "Aye .11 . Where is the dishonour many ) in that? If a n had asked me I would have printed it and any man statue at Charing-cross, if he had desired p it, it foron the private satisfaction. Mr. Rolutiaol letters mentioned—Will Mr. Roebuck allow those by mr.

Mr. Roebuck has positively told several lies.—(Cries of " Shame !" from all parts of the meeting, and great confusion.) When Mr. Coppock published those letters in the papers they furnished such proof that it appeared al most unanswerable, but so high was my respect for Mr. Roebuck that I did not then come to a conclu sion. I determined to wait and hear Mr. Roebuck's defence, or to read it. I read his defence. What was it? That he had forgotten having written to Coppock, because he was treating with the Govern ment. lie has said to-day that he went to Mr. Stanley and agreed with him about this affair. He has said that he said to him, "We (the Whig%) want a candidate, Et nd we want to know how it is to be managed. If the constituencies of England are to be bartered i n that m anner as chattels, I think it is me to the condition of France and high time we ca _ —(Hear hissee, and laughter.) bad a dictator at once. , Mr. ROBINSON addressed the crowd from the steps as the siiconder of Ur. Ironside's proposition. Mr. ROElZUCK—(Cheering)—The circumstances ! were these—there was a sail early of Whigs in Bath and a large party of Radicals. The Radicals were my friends, but we were not enough alone, to return a member; but if the Whigs joined us we might return two Liberal members. Therefore I went to Mr. Stanley and said, "If you will give us a Whig to suit my friends, we can bring in two Li beral members instead of one Radical and one Tory or two Tories." That is all I had to do with Mr. Stanley. He sent us Lord Duncan, who was about nearly as liberal a member as I am, but he was a lord. After that my friends sent me 3001. for my expenses. That had nothing on earth to do with sending down Lord Duncan. He bore his share of the expenses, and this 3001. went to the general ex penses—Government had nothing to do with it. Mr. HARVEY—I beg leave to propose, as an amendment to Mr. Ironside's motion, " That John Arthur Roebuck, Esq., is a fit and proper person to represent this large and important town in Parlia ment."—(Vehement applause.) Mr. FISHER was received with applause. He said he had great pleasure in seconding the amendment. Mr. G. BOLES vehemently called out from the body of the meeting that Mr. Parker ought to stand on his own merits, and that Mr. Roebuck should not be allied with him. They were dragging Mr. Par ker in with Mr. Roebuck.—(Cheers.) The MAYOR—The amendment is that John Arthur Roebuck, Esq., alone is a fit and proper person to re present this borough in Parliament. The gentlemen who think so will bold up their hands. A complete forest of hands was held up in favour of the amendment, and only a few against it. The result was hailed with cheers. Mr. DUNN was receives with cheers and hisses. The amendment he had now to move, which, but for Mr. Ironside's motion, would have been a substantive motion, was " That John Parker, Esq., is a fit and proper person to represent this borough in Parlia ment." Mr. BARKEn said he had great pleasure in second ing the nomination of Mr. Parker as a fit and proper person to represent this borough in Parliament. The MAYOR—Those gentlemen who are of opinion that Mr. Parker is a fit and proper person to repre sent this borough in Parliament will signify the same by holidng up their hands.—(A show of hands was taken for and against.) Gentlemen, Mr. Roe buck's resolution was carried by a lare majority. Mr. Parker's is lost by a large majority. Mr. Ironside's resolution falls to the ground. I consider, therefore, that the business is at en end. Mr. PARKER then moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his able and impartial conduct in the chair. Mr. ROEBUCK seconded the motion, observing that nothing could be more fair than the conduct of the Mayor. The motion was carried unanimously, and, his Worship having returned thanks, the meeting broke up at ten minutes before fire o'clock. YARMOUTH. The following address has been issued by Admiral Sir Charles Napier : " To THE ELECTORS OF GREAT YARMOUTH. " Gentlemen,—Called upon by a numerous and re spectable body of the electors of the borough of Great Yarmouth, I have come amongst you, and at two meet ings have clearly and distinctly explained my opinions, and for the information of the electors who were not pre- sent I shall shortly state them in writing. " 1. I am an uncompromising opponent of any tax on food, whether for protection or revenue. " 9 . With regard to the Navigation Laws, I will use my utmost exertion to relieve the shipping interest from unjust burdens, and should any nation refuse us the ad vantages we have given them, after a reasonable time I would withdraw the concessions wo have made them. "3. I wilt vote for the ballot, because I believe it is the only moans of protecting the poor voter. I approve of the extension of the suffrage to all ratepayers, and putting county and borough voters on the same footing. I am for shortening the duration of Parliament, and abolishing the property qualification. " 4. I think the small boroughs sending one Member to Parliament should be disfranchised, and ono Member taken from those who have two, and the whole divided between the large towns and the counties that are not properly represented. " 5. I am for c rre-eting all abuses, and reducing the expenditure as low as the safety of the country will admit. "6. I am tor keeping up 3 respectable navy for the defence of the country, and giving every encouragement to the seamen to induce them to come forward when their services are required, without having recourse to that infamous and tyrannical system—impressment. " 7. It will be my duty and also my inclination to pay the strictest attention to your local interests. ty ho e ` u ` s T aap h l ap e er ao position v .) oe o s v io e tfi , ot g nh e e T l : m. t i l : e h m a nerdne regard ah a ri dn r are t m i. : fixed opinions.

IRONMA.STERS I QUARTERLY MEETINGS BresuieouAes, TrIURSDAT.—The first of these periodical assemblages, at which the resolutions of the trade, adopted at the preliminary meeting held a fortnight ago, are to be ratified or rejected, was held at Walsall on Tuesday, and the second at Wolver• hampton yesterday. That of the latter town is usually considered one of the most important, if not the moat important of the series, convened throughout the iron districts of South Staffordshire and Shropshire ; and on this occasion was most numerously attended by the principals or representatives of the chief firms of both counties. Although the iron trade was repre sented to be by no means in a flourishing condition as compared with its condition two years ago, appear ances were much better, and the market decidedly firmer than it was a fortnight since. The prices adopted at the preliminary meeting were of conse quence fully maintained, and the tendency of the market, if any was observable, upwards. Some of the first makers, as we were given to understand, obtained better prices than, from the state of the mar ket a few weeks back, could reasonably have been ex pected. The fact is that the first-rate houses, the quality of whose iron has obt, - , ined for them a pre eminence in all parts of the world, can at all times command, as compared with inferior makers, a high and remunerative price; and thus it is that while some ironmasters, from the in feriority of their make, are compelled to undersell and give a character of depression to the trade, the best makers are carrying on an extensive and success ful business. South Staffordshire affords abun dant evidence in support of this truth. The manufacture of the article of pig iron, upon the quality and prices of which the prices of superior descriptions of iron are based, is more particularly open to this observation. It has of late years been wretchedly deteriorated in South Staffordshire, and the consequence is that according to make it varies in price at the present time from 2/. ss. to 3/. 103. per ton; while some few years ago, when the make was uniformly excellent, one price fixed at Gloucester invariably ruled the whole district. The newly-discovered ironstone in Northamptonshire was the subject of considerable discussion at Wolver hampton, and elicited various opini ons . F rom the peculiar circumstances in which many of the ironmasters of South Staffordshire are placed in consequence of existing royalties, opposition to the Northamptonshire ore might naturally be expected, and in some instances it is consequently much depre ciated ; but there are other ironmasters who appear to concur in the opinions expressed by Mr. Blackwell, of Dudley, in his lecture delivered in London, on Wednesday evening, that the ironstone of Northamp tonshire, from its valuable qualities, will ultimately prove of great advantage to the iron manufacture of those districts. It is now being used to some extent, and those who have tried it in their blast furnaces commend it. The attendance at our Town-hall to-day was not so numerous as we have seen on former occasions ; but the feeling manifested by the trade was rather hopeful than otherwise. The reports from Wales were good. There was a demand particularly for rails, which were advancing from ss. to 10s. per ton.

On Thursday morning a most determined suicide was committed by Mr. James Carrell, printer and stationer, of No. 262, Strand, at Miller's R o t e l, Blackfricirw-road. The deceased, who was well known an d respe - c t e d in the trade, and formerly proprietor of the East „India Maga zine, the Magazzne of Science, and other valuable publi cations, had from circumstances been involved in con siderable pecuniary difficulties, so much so as to reduce him to a low and desponding state, although ho had frequently expressed a hope of facing the difficulties It appears that about twelve o th ,c a l t ock su o r n ro t u h n e d n e i d ghtof him. I Wednesday he went to the hotel, and having entered the coffee-room, called for a glass of brandy and water, and engaged a bed, at the same time making a special request that the boots or porter should call him at half-past eight in the morning, as he had an appointment to attend to. Ile was shown to his room by the chambermaid, who delivered to him a candle, and left him apparently calm. In the morning, as re quested, the porter knocked at his door (which was found to be fastened) several times without receiving any an swer. Tne fact was communicated to Mr. Miller, who at once forced open the door, when ha saw the de ceased suspended by a rope from the foot.rail or cor nice of the bedstead, dead. Mr. Miller instantly dispatched ono of his servants to Mr. Tebbitt, surgeon, a few doors from the hotel. Mr. Tebbitt arrived imme diately, and, finding the deceased still suspended, he at once cut him down, bat all attempts at restoring anima tion were hopeless, Mr. Teeitt being satisfied that the deceased had been dead several hours. The bed had not been slept in. On the counterpane was a piece of new cord, evidently cut from that with which the deceased had hanged himself, the cord being an ordinary bed cord, and but little doubt could be entertained that the deceased on closing the door had at once proceeded to carry his intention into effect."

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, APRIL B. There has been more inquiry for foreign and colonial wools daring the past week. Prices remain without variation. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL B.—There has been rather more inquiry for wool during the past week, to supply the current wants of the manufacturers, who nevertheless buy with great caution, as they com plain that prices of goods and yarns are not remu nerating. Prices of wool are quoted the same as last week. TRADE OF LEEDS.—With the exception of some few' lots of Spanish stripes and other goods, for the India and China trade, which have been delivered since this . day week, we have no alteration to report in the state o f our Oath markets, the purchases at the Halle being by the houses in the home trade, and to a limited extent; but in consequence of the mills continuing to run slier! time, the stocks in the clothiers' bands are light, and prices remain firm. The wholesale home buyers par' chase more sparingly than usual at this period of the year, and business continues dull in the warehouses, but the foreign houses are rather improving compared to what has been the case of late. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, APRIL B.—The quietness which prevailed in this market has been increased by the arrival of intelligence from the United States, per the Asia steamer, which is more decidedly in favour of a crop of 2,900,000 bales. The demand for all descriptions of cloth has been limited, buyers being disposed to ab: v a e tin b g een s ß lig y htly affected. Th ose m ane' this unfavourable state 0' thingsfa stain o t t re frompr i ces who e p he are without st oc k, or under contract, are ar not disposed to make any material concession; but those leas favourably situated have manifested more anxiety for business, but without being able to obtain it, except to a very limited extent. In shirttngs, the producers of 40-inch widths have courted business by making a trifling abatement in their den rands, but neither these nor 36. inches have been much inquired for. In domestics the business has been too ite , ignificant to put prices fairly to the test, but in most instances buyers have been able to obtain a little adva n t age , Manufacturers of printing cloth are mostly with out stock, and many of them are e r a l e c r t a ; biy consequen tly , ateay. general a b sence of demand, prices ba.er. ~,ht e h r o e u h g a h v e t hbiesenvery f ®w article h shared in the u b e n e d n e r k e e p o t n to l erab l y transactions in yarn since the l c ose of last week; buyers influenced by the appearance and pros p ec ts of the cotton market, have operated cautiously, and the tendency of prices is decidedl h• f y in t eir avour. --- SEABORNE BLS_ (11 signines that the mails are sent front the General rest-OnaC e by the night—ancl Ai by the morning --dispatch.) • When made up in From 'ha t - r - IJACXS GeueralPoet-oQ port m ceMs . due. o London. patched. • • --,.--,- - •••-• • 1----___ -_______ ---e• America (by Brit. pkt.)XApril 16 ..• ..
