At the Rochdale market, yesterday, there was a fair attendance, and flannels were in tolerably good request at fully former prices.

A TORY OPINION ON THE CHEAP PRESS. —lt may be known to some of our readers that the John Bull and Britannia were some time since amalgamated, for what reason it becomes us not to enquire. But the united journal bears tracs of some of the qualities usually ascribed to a coalition, which also we need not mention. In opening the last number of Dr. Cro l y' s organ, we find a stupid article on " the local penny press," which concludes as follo*s :—" We have had no ' classes dangereuses,' and no licentious journalism circulating among the lower orders. What with the ticket of leave system, and penny hole and corner journalism—thanks to the devices of Whig-Radical statesmanship—we now have both ; and it will not be the fault of either, nor the fault of their progenitors, the Whig- Radicals, if our social condition does not develops it elf into the full-blown atrocity of the Red Republic." This is simply " full-Flown" nonsense ! Our penny dailies are notoriously of a very mild Radical type —anything but incendiary. Take the Morning Star as an example. Is there anything licentious in that well conducted journal, which is moreover the advocate of peace, non_ intervention, and other very anti-Red Republic in views ? The fact is, our penny cotemporary contains far more powerful, pungent, and truthful writing than ever finds its way into the columns of the John Bull.—Nonconformist. THE COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUTENANT DEANE.—The result of the late court-martial at Gosport on Lieutenant Deane, of the 22nd Foot, was promulgated on Saturday. It will be remembered by our readers that Lieutenant H. A. Murray Deane was brought to trial about three months or more ago on three charges, which were to the effect that, he had wilfully failed to fulfil the terms of a written guarantee given by him voluntarily to the officers of Her Majesty's 22nd Regiment while in India to pay them, six months after the landing of the regiment in England, all sums of money due from Paymaster Barlow, for having abused the trust reposed in him as treasurer of the private hinds belonging to the officers ; and for having, while acting paymaster, torn or destroyed a leaf or leaves from the officers' ledger containing the .accounts of Paymaster Barlow, with a view to conceal the amount drawn and received by that officer. The Court had been ordered about a month since to reconsider their finding. but though they acquitted Lieutenant Deane of any fraudulent intent, and admitted that he had appropriated all the lost funds to some, though not the right, regimental uses, yet they nevertheless sentenced him to be cashiered. His Royal Highness the Commander in Chief thereupon advised Her Majesty not to confirm the sentence, because, however reprehensible Lieutenant Deane may have been for giving a guarantee which he could not perform. there was no moral. turpitude in his conduct. The Queen was graciously pleased not to confirm the sentence, and Lieutenant Deane was therefore acquitted. There is not even any formal reprimand superadded. We are in formed that a court of inquiry, consisting of Major Gen. between the . present and the former proposition, and he therefore trusted that the committee would succeed in getting it allowed by the commissioners. The business of the meeting was concluded by the passing of a motion authorising a deduction on account of the extra expenses likely to be incurred by the committee of management, - - The private letters from Paris, are not of a de sponding character, although the Bourse shows continued weakness.
