EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN DRIIRY-LANE, LON DON.—On Fr'day night, at five minutes past ten o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character, and which unfortu nately was attended with considerable destruction of pro perty, broke out in a lofty range of premises, in the tenure of Mr Wolter, a cork-manufacturer and book binder, and it was 'past twelve o'clock before the con flagration was subdued, and not before the premises in which it commenced were nearly consumed, the contents tlP.troyed, and serious damage done to the houses ad joining. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A WESLEYAN MINISTER.—The death of the Rev. Barnard Slater, supernumerary Wesleyan minister, of Macclesfield, took place on Friday, under cir cumstances of a painful and melancholy character. The deceased was at Alderley on Sunday week, were he was engaged to preach, and on the way to the chapel there is a decent in the road, and there he stumbled and fell heavily. He had his spectables on at the time, which were broken by the violence of the fall, and the glass cut deeply into the flesh, the blood flowing profusely. He was taken up in a state of insensibility. Mr. Slater was eventually conveyed to Macclesfield; but although every remedy that medical skill could devise was employed, the venerable patient never rallied, and on Friday afternoon he expired. —Macclesfield Courier. A FAIR DECEIVER."—A young lady of Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, whose moral conduct is unfortunately super seded by her attractions, lately so far fascinated a sober, aged son of St. Crispin, as to induce him to give her 10s., for the alleged purpose of putting up the marriage banns between him and herself, at a certain place within twenty miles of that town, and from another—for itappears she had plurality of lovers—a sovereign for the same laudable pur pose. The connubial candidates, however, becoming impa tient at the continued absence of the charmer, at t he ex pira ation of what appeared to them an age of expectation, insti tuted certain inquiries as to the cause of the delay on her part, when the disconcerted inamoratos discovered, to their cost, that the faithless syren had fled, in the company of a more successful "third," and gone, none but herself and companion apparently knew whither, leaving our luckless heroes with the consoling conviction of having materially contributed to the liquidation of their travelling expenses. A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING.—Mr. S. B. Rogers, of Nant-y-Glo, solicits patronage for carrying out certain plans for the erection of a magnificent granite bridge, above 2 miles long, across the river Severn, at Black Rock or New Passage, to connect. Monmouthshire and South Wales with Bristol and the west of England, by a double line of rails and a common carriage road; such bridge to he 140 feet wide, with bazaars, shops, &c , and a covered colonnade occupying 50 feet along the entire of its centre; and with arches of 324 feet span, rising 120 feet above the highest spring-tides, so as to allow ships of the largest size passing at all times; the piers and abut ments (i he upper parts of which to be habitable) to have a casting of cast-iron up to high-water mark, by which means all serious damage to the masonwork would for ever be prevented. Mr. Rogers observes :—" This grand structure would be a durable monument of human skill and labour, unequalled for utility and magnificence throughout the world. The shops, bazaars, and colonnade (with open and well-fenc d promenades on their roofs at an elevation of 200 feet above low-water mark), may be constructed principally of glass and ornamental metals, after the manner of the Crystal Palace, so as to afford conveniences for the display and sale of artistical, manu facturing, and natural results of all kinds, thereby con stituting a sort of permanent Great Exhibition of the products of all nations, and for monuments and curiosities of every description ; and the bridge itself—like the Glass Palace—would he the greatest monument and curiosity of the whole !"—Hereford Journal. AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.—FASHIONABLE INTELLI GENCE.—Mr. Cobden is anxious that we should copy the Americans in our newspapers, and naturalise the spirit of transatlantic journalism among English writers. This would effect a remarkable change, there is no denying. As a specimen we subjoin a report from a fashionable watering-place, framed after American ideas of propriety and taste. Just now the Americans, like mirselves, are betaking themselves from town and city to mountain springs or seaside sands, and the reporters of the daily jonrnals follow in their train to these popular retreats. What would our "Mammas" say to such a sketch from Cowes or Brighton as that transcribed from the Newport News into the New York Herald for Europe " Since my last, there have been a large number of arrivals at this house, and among them many beautiful and accomplished ladies. There are several here whom I have noticed for a week or two, but I have not yet ascertained their names. t ethers I know by sight, but, not having had the pleasure of an intro duction, I am unable at present to speak of them from my own knowledge. Among the more recent arrivals I notice Miss Bunnavant, of Richmond. Virginia. She is a tall, stately young lady, has a beautiful figure, and a face which denotes intelligence, and marked independence of character. I think her very beautiful, particularly so from the fact that she has an extraordinary face, such as you rarely meet with in a crowd. She has many admirers, and is one of the popular belles. Miss Virginia Hiss is a lively, pleasant young lady, and very inte resting. Miss Jennie Cohen, of Baltimore, is very pretty. Miss Julia Winnans and Miss Brinks, of Baltimore, dress very neatly and in fine taste, and are very agreeable young ladies. Miss Ludlow, of Cincinnati, is a pleasing young lady. Miss Holbrook, of Boston, is very pretty and interesting. Miss Coleman. of Louisville, is a beautifully formed lady, and is quite a favourite; she has a sweet face, and very fascinating manners. Miss Gross, of Louisville, has a fine figure, very erect, with a beautiful face, and very pleasing manners. She is one of the most agreeable and popular ladies at the house. Miss Rhoades, of Albany, is very handsome, dresses very mo destly, and is a genera: favourite; she is gifted with fine musical talents. Miss Watson, of Nashville, is very beautiful, and will soon be generally considered a decided belle. Miss Anna Chickering, of Boston, a daughter of the celebrated manufac turer of pianofortes, who is immensely wealthy, has a splendid figure, and is endowed with great musical talents, and will create no little sensation. She dances finely, but I have not seen her on the floor, as yet. since her arrival. Miss Fasset, of Philadelphia, is a millionaire, and dances a great deal ; she is an agreeable young lady. Miss Doane, of St. Louis, is one of those sweet creatures in whose heart no guile ever entered, and where happiness and innocence reign in undisturbed union. Intelligent, natural, and good, a high-minded and sensible man cannot but regard her as a young lady of rare worth and unu sual excellencies." We make no apology for giving to these agreeable details a wider circulation than it was perhaps expected they would receive; nor shall we attempt to apportion the degrees of merit between those who demand such intelli gence and those who supply it; but it must be plain, we think, that before Mr. Cobden's idea can be realised a good deal has to be done, and equally evident, we should imagine, that the wisdom of the attempt would be very questionable indeed.—Times. EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTURE.—The following case may serve as a warning to those who, charitably-inclined, lend too ready an ear to foreign impostors, a race just now very abundant in England. About three weeks ago, a lady, upwards of fifty years of age, who represented her self as an Hungarian lady—the Baroness Von Beck — arrived in Birmingham. She was accompanied by her secretary, a young man of the name of Constant Darra, who is described as a person of remarkably pleasing and prepossessing appearance. According to her own account she had been highly placed at Court during the last reign. When the political troubles broke out her husband had sided with the popular party, and after having borne high rank in the Hungarian arms, had finally been killed at the barricades in Vienna. She added that during the period of the insurrection she had been the intimate friend of Kossuth. In consequence of the success of the Impe rial party she was compelled to fly from the Austrian dominions, and had landed upon the British shore under no more favourable conditions of fortune than usually fall to the lot of political exiles. In order to maintain herself she had written and published a work professing to be the history of her adventures, and was, at the time of her arrival in Birmingham, engaged upon another, which was to be called The Story of my Life. As soon as this woman and her young companion arrived in that town their piteous tale at once gained them admission into many respectable houses, where they were kindly and hospitably entertained. Birmingham, it appears, swarms with Hungarian sympathisers. Among them was a Mr. G. Dawson, who not only himself subscribed his 24 guineas to the future publication of the Baroness Von Beck, but procured the subscriptions of many of his friends. At first she stayed at the Clarendon Hotel, but about a fortnight ago, as she appeared to be seriously indisposed, she was invited by Mr. Tyndale, a solicitor of Edgbaston, to take up her abode in his family. Here she used to speak constantly of her great intimacy with Kossuth, and to weep with affected emo tion whenever his name was mentioned. So mat ters went on until Friday last, when Mr. Tyndale was surprised by the information that the woman he was harbouring under his roof was an impostor of the worst class. A Hungarian gentleman, who had acted as Chief Minister of Police, &c., for the United Kingdom of Hungary and Transylvania during the insurrection, was introduced into Mr. Tyndale's ga r d en , an d identified the " Baroness" through the window. She was known to him as an Austrian woman of the lowest origin. She had been a police spy of the Hungarians—that is, deputy sp-, Another woman performed the chief functions, and Raci dula, for such is the real name of the Baroness Von Beck, was merely employed to do the dirtiest work of all. Her book was a tissue of falsehoods. With Kossuth she never had any intimacy of any kind. As soon as these facts were known, Racidula and her secretary were handed over to the custody of Mr. Stephens, the chief superintendent of the Birmingham police. On the morning of Saturday they were conveyed to the chief office for examination. The end of the story is a tragical one. Just as the pro ceedings were about to commence, Racidula, who had complained of indisposition during the night, gave a slight shudder and expired in the antiroom of the court. Thus, as against herself, all proceedings were closed. It need scarcely be said that the first impression of the bystanders was that Racidula had died by her own hand. Poison was the ready and natural expectation of such a death at such a moment. The proceedings at the inquest show that the death was from natural causes. But the strangest part of the story remains behind. If we admit Constant Darra's explanation of his own position, it would seem that he himself knew as little as Mr. Tyndale of Raci dula's real character. His acquaintance with her had been but a short one, but during that time he saw no reason for disbelieving that the woman was what she assumed to be. As far as regards the credibility of the secretary, we have the evidence of the Hungarian Police Minister to shew that Constant Darra comes of a family as respecta ble and well-placed as any in Hungary. So the matter stands for the present. Independently of the intrinsic interest which attaches to the facts of the case, it is one of those which should read a salutary lesson to the more vain and credulous of oar fellow -countrymen. Irrepara ble mischief may have been caused in families before the pseudo-marquises, counts, and barons are stripped of their borrowed plumes, and reduced to their pro per proportions as hair-dressers, couriers, or police spies. Luckily, in the present instance the unfortunate woman effected, or in fact attempted, but little harm. The dupes, however, may not always escape with such compa rative impunity. A MARKKD MAN.—The Bristol police have got hold of a thief who had on his left arm a representation of a man and woman, arm in arm, a bird, with (underneath it) a hare and dog in ch,se, and also, near the wrist, a star. On the right arm, near the front of tho shoulder, a man hanging from a gallows, beneath that a sailor dancing, and below that again a representation of the crucifixion, surrounded by a semi-circle with stars, and in the centre glory and I.H.S. On one side of the cross is a repre sentation of the sun, and on the other a half moon and flag, under it is a heart, two daggers crossed, and there are also a star, another heart and a fish in a circle near the elbow. A SUGGESTION FOR BLOOMERS.—One of the journals in the far north suggests, as a means of settling the Bloomer agitation, that a compromise be entered into b,!- tween the advocates of each extreme in dress. The writer is of opinion that all these parties would be satisfied by a return to the length of petticoat worn bj our mothers, which ended midway between the knee and ankle, being quite long enough to permit any article of dress generally presumed to belong to the male sex to be worn without exposure to public gaze, in the next place short enough to obviate all the inconveniences alleged by the Bloomer party ; and, lastly, if the prim and precise ladies consider it proper to show so much of their shoulders, surely they cannot find much fault with the exposure of a few inches of their ankles. THE PENINSULAR MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATUR DAY MORNING :—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Euxine. Captain R. W. Evans, has arrived hoe, with dates from Constantinople, Augtist 20th ; Smyrna, 22d ; Malta, 26th ; and Gibraltar, 31st. She brings fifteen passengers, and a large and valuable cargo of Levant produce, including figs, raisins, opium, scampony, silk, wool, &c. The screw-steamer Genova, six days from Liverpool, touched at Gibraltar on the 28th ult.. on her way to Leghorn. The screw -steamer Rattler sailed from Gibralter for Liverpool on the 28th ult. At Gibraltar, exchange on London at ninety days was quoted 51 to 51k. Spanish pillared dollars, 1I per cent. pre mium.—The Times. FEARFUL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AND GREAT Loss OF LIFE.—ABERDARE, THURSDAY.—WC deeply regret to announce that Aberdare adds another to the fearful list of colliery accidents, of late so numerous in our mineral dis tricts, and by which valuable lives have been lost to a melancholy extent. A cloud of gloom hangs over our neighbourhood ; for we have had the misfortune of a most lamentable occurrence, involving the violent deaths of from twelve to sixteen colliers, who, in an instant of time, and without, perhaps, having the opportunity of invoking the mercy of God, were sent to their account. The nature of the calamity is briefly told :—a number of men were in the act of descending the Werva coal-pit, when, melan choly to relate, the chain from which the stage depended snapped asunder, precipitating the ill-fated colliers, it is said, 160 feet.—Monmouthshire Merlin. MELANCHCLY INSTANCE OF THE UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE.— A striking instance of the uncertainty of life lately occurred at Pitkeathly. Mr. Eadie, farmer at Elliothead, had gone in the evening to attend a weekly prayer meet ing which is held at Pitkeathley. Mr. Eadie was to offi ciate upon the occasion, and while he was giving out a psalm, Dr. Chalmers, who was along with him, observed his head falling upon the book. The doctor went up to him and raised his head, but life was extinct, and death must have been instantaneous. Mr. Eadie had just par;ed with his wife, who hart arrived from the sea bathing, be fore going to the meeting. Mr. Eadie was an elder of the Free Church at the bridge of Earn, and much respected in all tl . .e relations of life. He was an early friend and correspondent of the late Rev. Dr. Chalmers, and is particularly mentioned in the first volume of his life by Dr. Hanna. SUDDEN DEATlL—Another instance of the awful uncertainty of life has occurred this week in our town, the deceased being a gentleman of considerable landed property, named Alison, residing at 12, Promenade. Mr. Alison, who is a magistrate for Lancaster, and has been a resident here for some time, was subject, to epilep tic fits, from which he suffered very severely. On Sunday last, he was visited professionally by Dr. Arnott. whit considered him better than he had been for some weeks past, and it was remarked by the domestics that their master appeared much more cheerful. He retired to his bedroom at an early limit.; but, on Monday morning, not coming down to take his usual walk before breakfast, a servant went into the room to call him, and found he was dead, the body being quite cold. The immediate cause of death was disease of the heart.—Cheltenham Paper. SARAH BARBER.—A. resident in Nottingham, on hear ing of the respite of Sarah Barber, went home in an ex tremely perturbed state of mind, and announced to his rib that the woman was not going to be hanged, and at which his wife expressed her gratification. " What :" exclaimed her lord and master, sharply, " you don't mean to say that you're glad ? Why if she is not hanged, there is no safety for any married man. I'm astonished that you can make such an assertion." Then commenced a war of words between them, she insisting that it w as im proper to hang a woman, and he that no husband was safe if Sarah Barber was not hanged. " Why, you don't mean to say that you're in danger of me poisoning you ?" exclaimed the wife. " Yes I do," was the sharp rejoinder. " Well, then, I'll not live with a man who is afraid that everything he eats and drinks will poison him." li e expressed his willingness to part, and they did so, he taking one child and she the rest ; and now, as each Sab bath-day arrives, they enter their place of worship at dif ferent doors, and take no more notice of each other than if they were strangers. ELOPEMENT FROM EASTWOOD. — Since the trial of Sarah Barber, scarcely a week has passed in which some dreadful or remarkable occurrence has not taken place in connection with her own or her murdered husband's fa mily. First we heard of the attempted murder of his bro ther near Chesterfield, on the day the criminal was to have been executed ; then that a relation of hers had committed a most desperate and determined suicide; and on Monday night, Mrs. Wild, Sarah Barber's sister, and who it will be remembered lived in a house adjoining hers, eloped with a spruce knight of the thimble who had recently been working in the village. She took her children with her, besides £l5O in money, which she had received for the sale of some property that was lately brought under the auctioneer's hammer. Her lord and master had left home to go to work on Monday evening, and on his return on Tuesday morning his wife had decamped. There was, however, one circumstance which doubtless tended to re lieve his mind of a portion of his distress—upon the table he found a sovereign enclosed in a letter from his rib, couched in affectionate terms, informing him that she had gone to Australia. Whether he intends pursuit we know not, but we hear that he is about to sell his furniture, pre paratory to bidding adieu to Langley Mill.—Notts Guar. TRAFFIC RETURNS.—The traffic returns for the last week, ending the 31st ultimo, on the undermentioned English lines of railway are as follows : 1851. 1850.

The total receipts on the above lines being X 268,793 against £224,246 in the corresponding week of last year ; the increase is shown to be £46,078. The number of miles open was, in 1851, 4,192, and in 1850, 3,9711 ; showing an increase of 2201 miles. The average return per mile per week was, in 1851, £64 2s. 5d., and in 1850, £56 9s. 5d., being £7 13s. Od. per mile per week in favour of the present year. The London and North-Western, Great Western, London and South-Western, Brighton and Great Northern again show a large increase. The chairman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company drew attention to the improvement in the traffic on that line for the past week. The South Eastern arta shows the foreign traffic very favourable, and indeed the returns altogether are highly satisfactory. 6,249 4,911 14,501 1,665 13,186 FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE NEAR THE EXHIBITION.— On Wednesday evening, while Mrs. Holloway, the wife of a soldier in the Life Guards, was crossing the highway at Knightsbridge, near the Exhibition, she was knocked down by a Hackney omnibus, and besides being trampled on by the horses, the wheels passed over her body. On being removed to St. George's Hospital, she was found to be quite dead. CnoteaA.:-During the past week several cases of cho lera have occurred in this town, but medical treatment having been in the majority of instances obtained in time, only one of them has terminated fatally. The fatal case is that of a woman named Seales, who resided in Daykin's Yard, West-street. She was first attacked by the disease on Friday, and expired on Monday morning. During the latter part of her illness she was attended by Dr. Mitchell, ono of the union medical men. Cases of diarrhoea have been again very numerous.—Nottingham Journal. MORMONISM IN BRISTOL. — There are at the present moment no less than five hundred professors of its belief in Bristol. It would be well if religious ministers of all Protestant denominations were to closely follow up the footsteps of its teachers, and endeavour to counteract their influence. Mormonism has been described as a sort of bastard between Mahomedanism and Popery, and, substi tuting Joe Smith for Mahomet, the description is not far from the truth.—Bristol Times. EXTRAORDINARY ACTIVITY.—An extraordinary in stance of activity was displayed a few days since in the manufactory of Mine. Veuve Philippart-Moulin, at Tournai. A sheep was sh ea red and the wo o l washed, carded, spun, dyed, and manufactured into stockings, socks, mittens, &c., between five o'clock in the morning and half-past two in the afternoon, at which hour the articles were packed up, and forwarded to the commission of the provincial exhibition at Mons.—Galignani. BIBLES.—A return has been published relative to the number of Bibles and Testaments printed under the authority of the Queen's printers in Scotland. from Janu ary 1, 1848, to December 31, 1850. In 1848 there were sn printed 138.386 Bibles and 172,700 Testaments, on which £864 Bs. drawback of paper duty was received ; in 1849, 47.670 Bibles and 86,549 Testaments. on which £440 2s. 4d. drawback was received ; and in 1850, 113,250 Bibles and 149,800 Testaments, on which £693 Os. 41d• drawback was received. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BRISTOL.—At an early hour on Tuesday morning a fire broke out in the manufactory and machine shops belonging to Messrs. Laverton and Co. the extensive bedstead, chair, and fur niture manufacturers, and situate in Redcross.street, St. Phillips, Bristol. By about half-past three o'clock the manufactory presented one mass of flame, and the fire could not be subdued until the entire building and the whole of the machinery were destroyed. The damage done is over £2,000. SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—About 18 years ago the Vicar of Stranton succeeded the Rev. Joseph Birkett, who had been 36 years Vicar of the parish, and now, having been presented to the living at Kelloe, succeeds another Mr. Birkett, who also has been 36 years vicar of that place. And another coincidence is, that the Rev. Mr. Webster leaves his old clerk, whose name is Allison, and meets with another of the same name al Kelloe. DEATH FROM SOMNAMBULISM.—Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner, held an inquest on Saturday, at Walworth, on the body of Mrs. Mary Johnson, Fend 91, a lady of pro perty, who lost her life under very shocking circumstances. It appeared that the deceased, from her advanced age, had become very feeble, and was under the care of a nurse. Deceased had, on several occasions, been found walking about the house and garden in the middle of the night, but fortunately never met with any serious injury. On Wednesday night the deceased went to bed in her usual health, and quite cheerful, but on the following morning, at an early hour, a man named Bull, while passing alone Richmond-street, discovered the deceased lying on the pavement in a state of nudity. Bull called the police. In the meanwhile the inmates were aroused, and the deceased was carried into the house, where she was seen by Mr. Perritt, the surgeon, but life was then extinct. The deceased had got out of bed, removed the flowerpots, and while asleep fell out of the window. TRANSPORTATION OF AN OXFORD STUDENT.-At the conclusion of the trials in the Old Court at the Old Bailey on Monday evening last, the Recorder was occupied some time in passing sentence on prisoners upon whom judg ment had been respited. Amongst them was a young man, of very respectable appearance, named Smith. The Recorder said it was a melancholy thing to see a person of his position and station in life at the felon's bar a convicted forger. He was the son of a beneficed clergyman in the country, who had sent him for education to the University of Oxford. He then got into the hands of a person of most infamous character named Lewis, who, no doubt, had caused great numbers to regret his acquaintance, and in the end the prisoner committed a forgery to a large amount upon that person. Great sympathy and compas sion were felt for the prisoner, on account of the perfidious conduct of the man Lewis. and judgment was postponed to see whether he was really entitled to that compassion. Inquiries had shown that he was not. This was not a solitary instance in which he had committed the crime of forgery. He might reform, and become a better man in another country. He felt it to be his duty to sentence the prisoner to be transported for 7 years.—Sunday Times. EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE. Much as the people of Barnsley have been accustomed to colliery explosions and accidents, one occurred on Friday morning, in a colliery at Hemingfield, the property of Earl Fitzwilliam, which excels any either in that or any other neighbourhood for the extraordinary singularity of the occurrence, and which we believe is without a parallel in the history of coal mining. On the above morning, soon after the men had begun work, one of them fired a shot to dislodge a quantity of coal. In so doing the coal became ignited. The men endeavoured to extinguish the fire by using their caps and smocks, but the more they tried the stronger became the ignition, in consequence of the air which they wafted upon the burning mass being impregnated with gas, which added fuel to the fire. In the end it became such a burning mass that they gave up the task, and got out of the pit as soon as possible. When they got to the top the fire was so strong that it roared like a furnace, and they saw no chance of extinguishing it but by closing the mouth of the shaft, which they immediately set about doing, by making a stage a few yards down the pit, and covering it with sods and other material, to prevent any air getting down the shaft. While doing so the signal bell rang, which was thought to be caused by the material they were throwing down catch ing the bell wire. In a short time, however, it rang again. The men then began to look about them to see if any one was missing, and then it was discovered that one of their fellow workmen, named Thos. Swift, was missing. Some thought they had seen him among the others on the pit hill. However, as there were doubts as to the fact, and for the satisfaction of all, a messenger was sent to his home to see if he had gone home ; but during the absence of the messenger the bell was again rung more loudly than before, which caused the engineman to prevail upon the others to get out what material they had put upon the stage and send down a corve. This was accordingly done, and when the corve was drawn up again it not only con tained Swift, but also two boys, alive and unhurt, although they stated that two horses and an ass lay dead in the pit. It appears that Swift and the two boys stopped some time with the others who were trying to extinguish the fire, and thinking it would be easily put out went forward into another part of the pit and commenced work, which they continued at until the alteration in the air caused them to stop, and they found the pit on fire and all tae men out, They then found their way to the bottom of the shaft, and ultimately reached the top unhurt, notwithstanding they had been immured above an hour after the pit had been covered in.

STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER.—Prices continue firm, with only a moderate business doing. Buyers for export are still unwillinr, to give out orders for distant deli very, b e i ng apprehensive that cotton may recede in the meantime. This opinion is strengthened by the quieter tone of the Liverpool market, and the diminution of sales to the trade during the %reek. Shippers to the east are, more than any other class of exporters, out of the market, and there is, therefore, a very languid demand both for yarns and goods suitable for that quarter. Cop yarns are still in good demand, and previous prices well maintained. Fine yarns are steady, without much doing. In cloth, the home trade houses continue to buy pretty freely, but otherwise the market is not animated. ROC H DA LE.—We have had a dull heavy market, and a rather limited amount of business has been transacted. For kerseys and coarse goods the manufactures are asking more money, in order to meet the extra price asked for low-priced wools. The wool market has been slack and prices have been much the same as last week's. LEEDS.—The amount of business done in both the ware. houses and the cloth halls since our last report has been rather less than the average of the past month ; but manufacturers continue moderately well employed, and the prospects of the trade for whiter are considered to be fair. Notwithstanding the advance of wool at the recent wool sales in London, there is no advance in the price of cloth. MACCLESFIELD.—the improved tone mentioned in our last, in the demand for silk manufactured goods, has been fully sustained during the week, especially from the wholeple houses of London and Manchester, and has given a more animated appearance to our staple trade than for some time past, although there are a large number of handloom weavers yet unemployed. In the face of this fact, large quantities of weaving are sent to the remote districts of Derbyshire and Lancashire, to be woven at considerably lower prices than those fixed by the Maccles field local board of silk trade. The throwing trade has not yet undergone any change for the better since our last. There is nothing new in the fancy trimming trade, with the exception of more doing in gimps. _ Norri Non'Am.—Lice : There is less doing among as generally this week. The Germans have ceased buying for the September Leipsic fair, and we are between the seasons for fashion in the home department. Some of the houses confined to the country trade complain generally of the slackness of business. Spin ners are asking a higher price for cops, but no advance has been obtained on doubled yarns as yet, except upon the lowest numbers, up to 40, or thereabouts. Hosiery : We are unsually quiet in our trade in all its branches, and expect to remain more or less so for about a month, when we may reasonably ex pect to be regularly employed upon goods for the spring trade through the winter. There lean alteration in the price of yarn Anglesey, Grange, sailed from Bombay for this port Aug. 29. The Sardinia, for New York, was iti contact this morning with the Susan E.

The diminished activity noticed at the close of last week has continued throughout the present one, but as holders have been relieved by the late large sales, they have shown no dis position to press their stocks upon the market; and although the buyers have occasionally had a slight advantage, it has snot been sufficient to- make any material change in quotations. Speculators have taken 2,900 A mer i can, 190 Egyptian, and 490 Surat, and Exporters 4,960 American, 450 Pernam, 230 Italia. 2,620 Surat, and 40 Madras.

In Beef we cannot note any improvement. Saks can only be made in retail quantities, and. though prices remain nomi nally as before, loner rates would be taken to wake progress with quantity. In Pork there is no feature of moment, the stock of American being small. Bacon meets with only a moderate retail demand; but the stock now being much re duced, all is likely to be cleared off before any new can come forward. Hams and Shoulders continue without improvement. At still further enhanced prices, there has again been an active demand for Lard, and the sales for the week are reported at 209 tons. The inquiry for Cheese has been very limited, and no improvement can be expected till the quality of the arrivals improves. DESCRIPTION. PRICES Sea island Stained .. Boweds ..

In various parts of this country and Ire land occasional rains are also reported to have fallen recently ; yet accounts from all quarters upon these important points are. on the whole highly favourable; and, with the stocks and importations of Foreign produce, now meeting inereasing sup plies from native growers, prices still generally incline down words. The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland since Monday last are trivial, and those from abroad very moderate, except Flour, comprising 12,946 brls., as specified below. During the interim from Tuesday's market to this date, we had little business passing in any branch of the trade, except in States and Canadian Flour, which, having been pressed for sale at a decline of 6d. per barrel from Tuesday's rates, transactions were considerable, and at our market to-day operations to a fair amount were repeated, the trade closing rather firmly at that abatement ; French Fl our a t th e same time remaining steady in value. Old Wheats, both English and Foreign, con tinued in limited demand, and prices were nominally the turn lower. Of farmers' new Wheat, however, good in quality and condition, sales were readily effected at ss. 10d. to 6s. Id., red at ss. Gd., and a few parcels of Irish red, mostly rather (lamp and inferior, at 4s. Gd. to ss. per 701bs. In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, we have merely to note a slow limited sale i a n t our last req quotations.request, maintained and floating, were held at late pric es , but met little inquiry to-day.—The following are Tuesday' 4 prices : Oata the and rates ( iatm o ea f Tuesday.eig scarce a Indiann Corn, both on the spot d BRITISH.

The corn trade has been dull, without change in the value of good fresh qualities of each article. The transactions of this day's mar ket are of an unimportant character in every article, and prices the same as last week. WAKEFIELD. S- 0,-- OEPT. s.—During the preseneWeek we have had frequtnt showers, and harvest in tins neighbourhood has not made very great progress. The reported arrivals are very small, but there is a good quantity of new Wheat per railway, which meets a fair sale at prices scarcely equal to last week, but still relatively high ; the better qualities of old make the prices of last Friday. an t i infpr;,,,. . ly as dear. Beans scarce. In other articles no change_ NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 6.—The harvest in this district is now all but general, and in many parts pretty far advanced. The weather has for several days been very genial, and highly suitable for reaping, the occasional showers nffarinn •,ao Vi.“ 1116 out might Interruption. At our market this morning sixteen samples of the new crop were shown by our farmers ; the qua lity was not so fine as expected, nor the yield particularly good ; but, of course, it is too soon to offer any opinion until further supplies come to market. Our millers being in much want of new Wheat, and having none as yet from the south, it sold readily, at 375. to 425. per quarter, and the old made last week's prices. The transactions in foreign were larger than of late, and fresh parcels realised fully last week's rates. Barley for grinding being plentiful, prices have declined Is. per qr. For Oats there was little demand to-day, and, to effect sales, rather lower rates had to be accepted. Foreign exceedingly difficult to quit. The new Oats shown to-day were not such good quality as last year. For Pease and Beans there is hardly any enquiry. In the value of Flour no alteration can be quoted. DUBLIN, SEPT. 5 -The sur —.in increases .. . every description met a steady demand to-day at nearly the currencies of Wednesday last.

Oatmeal in fair request ; new, 13s. to 13s. 9d. ; Flour quiet, at former rates. CORK, Sept. C.—There is no change of notice in Flour this week ; sales are limited to present wants. Foreign Wheat continues dull, and is easier to buy. New Wheats are of fair quality, and the produce generally reported good. CATTLE MARKET WAKEFIELD, Si'. 3.—We have had a large show of fat beasts, including 70 Hamburghs, in the whole 860. Sheep not quite an average show. A large attendance of buyers, and the whole of the stocks disposed of at the following rates :—Beef, ss. to 6s. per st. of 14 lb. ; mutton, sd. per lb. We had also a fair show of lean stocks and a good supply of pigs. DUBLIN, SEPT. The market was not quite so we I attended to-day as last Week, with for Mer prices -385- to 425., and for prime 445. to 411. per cwt. The 'sale of s h eep were b u t indifferent —ewes, 44d. to na. ; wedders, sd. to 53d., a gid. veal, 6d. to 63d. per lb., sinking offal; lambs, 208. to 245. each. There was hardly any heavy pigs, or sales, from the closenen of the weather. Small kinds, from 188, each upwards. were equest for feeding. lin• yo ur OPP ote rills: tioo; tbe who and] ,ate rh or sal cb • 10/ Id be re l -00' d 0 Sig ° that l W 4131 och• id to bid' ,een l ntsel ifias ).c t Viut j for griel 40 tool .40'1 0 0 i s to ighl 'And they 'O f red", 7"..4 Del t IC , !Pt.
