MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The same causes that have exerted an un-
favourable influence upon this market for several weeks still
remain in force, and the longer they continue the more stag-
nant does business become, and the more palpableis the effect
upon prices. On Tuesday, the market was exceedingly dull,
the business of the day being of the most limited character,
and no improvement can be noted since then. Yarns are not
being purchased in any quantity, the orders being more nu-
merous than large. For India there is very little doing. The
operations for Germany are cautiously entered upon, and of
limited extent; whilst only retail purchases go on for the
Mediterranean ; and the home trade manufacturers only buy
sparingly, in order to avail themselves of the advantages ex-
pected to arise from a declining cotton market. Prices are
lower universally. Goods are almost worse to sell than yarns.
The Greek houses, who were of late large purchasers, have
been doing very little for some weeks, and have certainly not
extended their purchases this week. Their accounts are not
quite so favourable, and though remittances are pretty regu-
lar, no orders accompany them. India goods are in very small
request, and the lighter snakes for the market are again lower.
Perhaps the best description of goods at present is printin
cloth of certain descriptions for home printing, which are theg only sorts which do not exhibit a sensible decline in price.—
Manchester Courier.

ROCHDALE.—The flannel market has not undergone much
change. The demand is tolerably steady, and nearly equal to
the supply. Last week's price of wool has been fully main-
tained, but the manufacturers purchase only for their imme-
diate wants.

HUDDERSFIELD.—Market without change, about the same
amount of business having been transacted in the cloth-hall
and in the warehouses. Wools continue firm.

LEEDS.—The market at the Cloth Halls was very brisk,
and the stocks were nearly cleared out; in consequence, the
mills continue to be actively employed. Prices are steady.
Business has been brisk for the home trade this week, and a
little improvement has taken place with the shipping houses.
BRADFORD.—WOOI: The demand for wool is not so active
as a few weeks ago. The continued increase in the value of
money has had a somewhat depressing influence, but there is
no disposition to give way by the staplers, for the difficulty to
buy in the country is not in any degree lessened. Yarn : A
steady business doing in spools, and no change in prices. For
shipping the demand continues active, especially for corded
yarns. Pieces : The business doing in the warehouses is very
good. For grey goods there is no change ; but a general
complaining exists with regard to the prices current.
NOTTINGHAM.—The trade of this district is not so brisk as
usual, partly on account of the war, but now more particularly
on account of the incessant drain of specie which is continually
taking place, which temporarily disarranges commercial affairs,
but which of necessity will be remedied in the accustomed
course of trade, as reaction always follows such a state of things.
The price of yarn is unsettled, and probably will remain so for
some short time, from the above-mentioned cause.

THE BOMBARDMENT AT RIGA.
The Constitutionnel publishes the following letter fr,m
Riga, dated September 28 :

Yesterday, at 6 a.m., the inhabitants of Riga were alarmed
by a heavy cannonade ; four ships of the line, two corvettes,
and one brig, had arrived during the night before our port,
and for an hour they bombarded the batteries at the mouth of
the Duna. These vessels then sailed in a westerly direction,
and took up a position opposite the Bullen column, where the
bombardment was renewed for an hour and a half.
The batteries at the mouth of the Duna suffered but little ;
on the other hand, the battery at Bullen, according to the
Riga Gazette, suffered considerably.
At eleven miles from Riga, at Alt-Salis, a portion of the
enemy's squadron was descried. On the 25th three frigates
cast anchor at the mouth of the river Salis. A boat, manned
by seven men and an officer, took soundings, and, gradually
approaching near, the boat's crew finally set fire to ten vessels
(barks), at about half a verst from the mouth.

THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER'S VISIT TO
ODESSA.
The Constitutionnel publishes the following two letters
from Odessa :

ODESSA., Sept. 24.
The Grand Duke Constantine is expected here to-morrow ;
he will alight at the Narischkin Palace.
' Count Staekelberg, Russian military envoy at Vienna, and
Count Benkendorff, who fills the same functions at Berlin,
passed through here yesterday on their way to Nicholaieff,
where the Emperor is expected to-morrow.
General Todtleben, whose wounds are not quite healed yet,
is expected here shortly.
The first detachments of the Militia of the Empire, of Mos-
cow, have arrived at Odessa. Their commander, General Go-
lowin, an old man of 70 years of age, has received a kick from
a horse, and is seriously ill.
A great deal of anxiety is felt here in consequence of the
news of the embarkation of a considerable number of troops at
Kainiesch and Balaklava. Our garrison is always under arms.
The coast bristles with guns and mortars, but still greater
fears are entertained for Nicholaieff, to which place a large
number of cannon have been recently sent.

ODESSA, Sept. 25.
The Emperor Alexander and suite arrived here on the even-
ing of the 22d. The Governor-General had announced that
the Emperor would enter the city at noon, but he did not
arrive till late in the afternoon, and the crowd, tired of wait-
ing, had quietly dispersed. This circumstance is the cause
why the entrance of the Czar produced so little effect upon
our population, and, with the exception of the rolling of the
drums, the sound of military music, and the movement among
the officers in command of the troops, there was no change
visible in the appearance of Odessa. Qn the following day
the whole population attended their daily business as usual.
The Emperor alighted at the palace of Prince Woronzoff.
His suite was lodged at the chateau of Countess Langeron.
The Czar left next day for Nicholaieff, whither his brother, the
Grand Duke Constantine, bad preceded him. This day a
grand council of war, to which all the commanders of the
corps of infantry quartered in New Russia are summoned,
was to be held under the presidency of the Emperor, at Nicho-
laieff. In case the events of the war in the Crimea should
prevent Prince Gortschakoff from attending the council, Gen.
Osten Sacken is to attend in his stead. This veteran general,
who held important commands in all the great wars under
Alexander and Nicholas, enjoys in the highest degree the con-
fidence of the present Emperor. It is to be presumed that his
advice will be listened to, and his plans of campaign seriously
examined. It is said that Gen. Liprandi and Gen. of Cavalry
de Wrangel have also been called to Nicholaieff.

THE NEAPOLITAN QUESTION.
The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following :
The Government of the Emperor has seen with deep regret
the publication of a letter on the subject of the affairs of
Naples of a nature to engender the belief that the policy of the
Emperor, instead of being frank and loyal, as it has always
been, towards foreign Governments, might favour, under-
hand, certain pretensions. The Government openly disavows
them, under whatever form they may appear.

(From the Express.)
HAMBURG, Monday.
A despatch from Prince Gortschakoff, dated 6th inst., has
been received at St. Petersburg. It is as follows :—""The
enemy's fleet is in motion in different directions. His gun.
boats are considerably increased. The camp between the
Tchernaya and Ealaclava has been partially broken up.
Some of the enemy's forces defended the Valley of the Bal-
beck again to-day."

The Times' Constantinople correspondent writes, on the
27th September :—" The Bashi-bazouks at the Dardanelles
are in full revolt. TWo English and one French war steamers
are ordered to proceed thither immediately, and 700 men of
the contingent are by this time on their way to bring the
rebels to reason."

DESPATCH FROM GENERAL SIMPSON.
The Gazette contains a despatch from General Simpson,
dated 25th September, containing two weekly medical reports
up to the 25th. He writes—" The troops continue employed
in the construction of roads, and in making preparations for
the winter, which are greatly facilitated by the fineness of the
weather. The enemy have commenced firing into the town,
and the troops stationed there for fatigue duties have in con-
sequence been withdrawn. Large quantities of timber and
building materials are daily taken from the houses by our
troops."
The first weekly medical report shows that of 3,500 ad-
mitted 194 died.
The second weekly medical report, up to the 25th, states
that the sanitary condition of the army was satisfactory.
The number of admissions was 1,056, of which 106 died.
The number of deaths was considerable, but a great many
were shot through the upper part of the chest in the assault
on the Redan.
A large proportion, however, of the wounds were slight,
and in the second week 1,000 were discharged.
Cholera had nearly disappeared.
There had been no increase in the other forms of bowel
complaints, and the health of all the divisions was highly
satisfactory. In the 3rd Division no deaths occurred during
the week, and in the 4th only one.
There had been equinoctial gales, with heavy rain, which
had rendered the weather delightful.
Rations were good and abundant, and everything was fa-
vourable to health.
