MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCIEESTER.—Yarns have been in less demand, but the
orders in the hands of spinners, the improved tone, and an
upward movement in cotton, combined to render the market
a more difficult one to operate in at the beginning of the week;
but since, prices have been rather easier. Whether for India,
Germany, or the Mediterranean, the demand has been more
moderate. Yarns for the home trade, though more was ilsk“l

for them early in the week, can now be obtained at slightly
reduced rates ; still, much firmness is maintained. Cloth re-
mains without much change ; the demand has been steady, but
as the week has worn on, there has been less inquiry.
ROCIIDALE.—Rather a quiet market in flannels, and without
any change in prices. Pieces are taken off the market as fast
as they are made, and there is no accumulation of stocks.
Wool steady in price as well as demand.
HUDDERSFIELD.—The important news from Sebastopol
has had a favourable influence upon our market. While the
attendance of buyers has not been larger than usual, there has
been more activity both in the Cloth-hall and the manufac-
turers' shops, and plain goods of all kinds have met with
readier sale. The operative classes generally, throughout this
district, are now in more regular and constant employment.
LEEDS.—Prices are firm, with a.tendency to advance. The
stocks are very low for the season in the clothiers' hands, and
in consequence the are in active operation. Business has
also been of the like active character in the warehouses for the
home trade; and there are rather more orders giving out for
goods for shipping for the spring trade.
BRADFORD.—WOOI : The trade shows great firmness, and
the prices sought act as a barrier to business being done.
Noils and shorts without change.—Yarns : The increased price
for wool makes the spinners firm, at the quotations sought at
the opening of the month.—Pieces : The demand is steady,
and the goods as produced go into delivery. Prices very firm.
NOTTINGHAM.— No visible improvement in the lace or
hosiery trades. The home demand is at present our principal
business, but this is not so great as may be reasonably looked
for a week or two hence, when shopkeepers usually make their
autumnal purchases in London, Manchester, and other manu-
facturing towns. Yarn is still held at firm prices, though
there is not much doing for either lace or hosiery.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.

BY the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captin Nye,
which arrived in the Mersey at 3 10 p.m., on Saturday, we
have intelligence from New York to the sth inst. The Pacific
brought 130 passengers, and $370,000 in specie.
There has been no further arrivals of steamers from Eng
land; but we learn that the steamer Tennessee, from Havre
bound to New York, put into Halifax short of coal, on the 4th
of September. She had also sustained some damage, having
encountered heavy weather, but she would proceed on to New
York on the same day.
A despatch from Halifax informs us, that owing to some
mismanagement in laying the submarine cable between New-
foundland and Cape Breton, it was lost when the vessel was
40 miles from Newfoundland. There is no intelligence of how
it was lost.

The crops of corn, grain, and cotton exceed all former esti-
mates.

We have received intelligence from Oswego, N.Y., of a
horrible tragedy—the murder by a young man of his father,
mother, and younger brother. It appears that the family con-
sisted of M. and Mary Fitzgerald, and their three sons, Patrick,
John, and James, aged 22,18, and 14 years, respectively. John,
the murderer, is a wayward young man, and often quarrelled
with his parents, and the last originated in consequence of
John refusing to attend the funeral of a brother, and he ridi-
culed the ceremony his parents being Romanists ; and
remarked, that if he had a gun he would shoot the cross from
the hearse. On Wednesday, the 29th of August, he refused
to go to bed. About three o'clock in the morning he mur-
dered his father, mother, and brother, with an axe. The
prisoner was shortly afterwards arrested, and an inquest was
held on the bodies. The prisoner confessed that he did kill
his father, mother, and brother with an axe, about three
o'clock on the morning of Thursday, August 30th. That since
the funeral of his brother, on the 27th of May—which he did
not attend—his parents have been displeased with him, and he
became angry with them for their course, which anger had
grown upon him, till about a week ago, he tried to poison
them by putting some strychnine into a tumbler of sugar. It
was from the same bottle which was found in his trunk. He
said no one knew anything of his intention to kill them.
A terrible accident occurred on the 29th ult., on the Camden
and Amboy railroad, between New York and Philadelphia.
The morning mail train left Philadelphia at ten o'clock, and
reached Burlington ( twenty miles) a few minutes ahead of
time—say a quarter of an hour after eleven o'clock. There
were six passenger cars in the train. By the rules of the rail-
road company, the train first arriving at Burlington, which is
the place for the meeting of the trains, is required to wait ten
minutes, and if the other train does not arrive then the first is
entitled to the road : both trains to run, looking for each other.
There is but a single track.
The up-train waited, according to orders, for the train from
New York, and then came on. When about three miles this
side of Burlington, the trains met, saw each other in season to
reverse, reversed rapidly, and the train which had left Bur-
lington a few minutes before ran back for two miles, until it
had reached a cross road half a mile this side of Burlington.
At this point a waggon with two horses, driven by Dr.
Hennegan, an old physician, residing just out of Burlington,
was crossing the track as the train backed. The hind car
struck the horses, killing them instantly, and this caused that
car to be thrown from the track, while those in front piled up
on the top of it. Four out of the six cars were thrown off the
track in this manner, and three of them were utterly destroyed.
They were all well filled with passengers, nearly all of whom
were injured more or less seriously.
The number killed is stated to be 21 persons, and about 70
others are more or less seriously wounded. Many of the per-
sons were residents of Philadelphia. Among those killed on
the spot are mentioned the names of Major Boyce, of the
United States' coast survey, with his wife, and the Baron de
St. Andre, French Consul at Philadelphia. Mr. John F. Gil-
lespie, of Natchez, one of the wounded, had his left leg ampu-
tated, and the right foot taken off. His position being very
critical, this gentleman made his will, and deposited therein
his property to the value of 5600,000, directing that in case of
his death or that of his wife the railway company should be
prosecuted to the last cent. of his fortune. Dr. Hannegan was
accompanied by his wife and two children, none of whom were
seriously injured. _ _

On the Morning of the 31st ult. another accident occurred
on the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. The express train
ran over a cow, and three carriages were thrown off the line in
consequence. Ten persons were more or less wounded, four of
them seriously.
A third accident happened on the Brooklyn City Railroad,
caused by the breaking of a break chain when descending a
hill in Sands-street. A passenger who jumped from the carriage
was dangerously injured, and the conductor was also very
much bruised.

The Boston and Stonington Railway had been the scene of
an accident, in which ten persons were very severely injured.
It was caused by the removal of a rail, apparently by design.
A Boston paper publishes a communication from a German
recently from Halifax, giving an expose of the progress of
enlistments to the Foreign Legion in the United States. He
states that the amount paid by the British Government up to
the middle of July was $25,000, and the number of recruits
enlisted was only about 600. The writer states that the
government has not relinquished the recruiting system in the
United States, but on the contrary, has a large number of
agents employed for the coming winter, who are expected to
induce many poor working men to visit Canada, under pro-
mise of employment. The recruits, on reaching Halifax, are
said to be cheated of half their promised pay, and imprisoned
and flogged for grumbling.
A telegraphic communication from Baltimore, of the 4th,
says :—" By the boat from Norfolk we have the most awful
account of the ravages of the yellow fever in that city yet
received. A letter from Dr. Morris says that there were no
less than 64 deaths in Norfolk on Monday. The Herald
gives the names of 35 persons who died on Sunday, and says
that 50 bodies were buried on that day. 50 coffins were sent
down from here on Saturday, and orders have been received
for 100 more. The boat up brought up a large number of
people who are flying from the scourge, some of whom have
taken refuge in the rotunda of the Exchange until they can
procure lodgings. A committee of citizens of Norfolk, headed
by Dr. John Weabe, passed through here to Washington, to
ask the President for permission to remove the remainder of
the inhabitants of their city to Fort Monroe. At Portsmouth
the fever is abating, the deaths averaging about ten a day."
Subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the yellow fever
were being collected in various parts of the Union.
A Washington writer, referring to the right of the Danish
Government to levy Sound dues, says :—The present treaty
will terminate in April next, when, if the toll continue to be
demanded, American shipmasters will be instructed not to
pay. If they do not pay, Denmark may attempt to collect the
tax by force. Thus the casur Belli will be clear, and Captain
Hollins will be immediately ordered to Copenhagen with the
Cyne, and will batter down that ancient capital exactly as he did
Greytown.

The flight of Santa Anna from Mexico is confirmed, and his
arrival at Havana reported. The cause of his abdication, it is
said, was a desire to save his private fortune, which is immense.
He is avaricious, and took his measures so well that he suc-
ceeded in his object. The skirmish at the National Bridge is
said to have been occasioned by the attempt of the pursuing
party to capture a particular box of gold, which, although
marked as the private property of Santa Anna, was claimed to
be government funds. But his highness had taken his mea-
sures too well and got off with the gold. It is the opinion of
my informant that Santa Anna ran away sooner than was ne-
cessary, that his course was by no means desperate, and that
his flight may have been a part of a secret arrangement with
his opponents, who preferred negociation to fighting.
Brief advices from Havana, to the 28th ultimo, report the
arrival of Santa Anna there, with his family, on the 24th. He
left again on the 26th for Caraccas.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW "YORK, sth Sept.
No material change had taken place in the money market
during the past three days. The supply and demand were
about equalized, and the current rates were quoted 7 to 8 per
cent. for first-class commercial notes and call loans. In
exchange the business for the Pacific was very brisk, and the
supply of bills was equal to the demand. The closing rates
were :—Bills on London, 91 to 10 per cent. premium; Paris,
&c., f. 5.121, 60 days, and f. 5.081-, short sight ; Hamburgh, 36f
to 36-1.

The New York Shipping List, of September 5, says:—
September opens auspiciously as regards finance and trade.
The business community is strong in credit and resources,
and throughout the domains of commerce a growing activity
is apparent. Owing to the universal contraction of trade for
many months past, in connection with the diminution of im-
ports, amounting to upwards of thirty-seven million dollars
since Ist January, it is not very probable that there will be
any great or sudden unfavourable change in the money mar-
ket this fall, though temporary fluctuations in the rates are to
be expected as the volume of business increases and enterprise
receives a new impetus. The foreign trade of New York con-
tinues in a comparatively healthy condition. The total
exports for the eight months, exclusive of specie, is but
$2,381,553 less than for the corresponding period of last year ;
and the falling off in the specie exports is shown to be
$1,049,127. There can be no doubt now of abundant cereal
crops to increase the general wealth of the country, should
Europe need our surplus, of which there can be no reasonable
doubt.

CoxTorr.—The market during the past three days has been
characterised by the same inactivity and languor as noticed
for several weeks past, and the market closes tamely. The
telegraph advises a decline of ,tc. in the New Orleans market,
consequent upon the large receipts of the new staple, but the
effect of this reduction seems to have been neutralised by a
corresponding rise in freights. The sales for the week do not
probably exceed 6000 to 6000 bales.

In regard to the growing crop, Messrs. Talcott and Co., in
their circular of the o.th instant, state ;--" Our advico are more

favourable since our last, as the wet weather complained of in
Alabama has been succeeded by a warm dry spell. In the
Atlantic States it is stated that the plant is a week or ten days
later than last year, but thrifty and well fruited. From the
region tributary to New Orleans the accounts are very favour-
able, and our correspondents generally disposed to estimate
very largely. Although we are well aware that it is very dif-
ficult to approximate the probable yield at this period of the
season, yet, as showing the opinions now entertained of the
prospects of the crop by some well informed parties at New
Orleans, we annex an extract from our correspondent's letter
of the 22nd ult.:—` The news about the Cotton crop is favour-
able, although we occasionally hear of some complaint from
different sections. Upon the whole it is generally supposed
that the crop will be about 3,300,000 to 3,400,000 bales, which,
added to the remainder of last year's crop, will show the
largest supplies ever received.' "
BREADSTUFFS.—The flour market had been depressed
throughout, and prices given way 75c. to 871 c. per barrel since
the 28th ult. There had been some purchases for shipment
both to England and France at the reduced currency, but so
far not to an extent sufficient to give firmness to holders, who
still evince anxiety to sell. Wheat had declined 15c. to 20c.
per bushel, the supplies being still confined to imports from
southern ports. The prices of Indian corn were 2c. to 3c. per
bushel lower than on this day week, but there was still no
accumulation of stock.

PBOVISIOWS.—Pork was 12ic. firmer for mess, and 25c. to
371 c. for prime; the demand moderate, owing to extreme high
prices ruling, which were sustained solely by the reduced
supply and light arrivals. There was a decrease in the stock
during the month of 24,659 bbls. The market for beef was
firmly supported ; the stock was but 6,762 pkgs. on the Ist
instant, against 15,119 same time last month. Butter and
cheese continued in fair request.
SALT.—Liverpool was in better supply, with an active de-
mand, prices are well supported.
- -

_ - -
CoAL.—Liverpool, with light receipts, continued firm. 236
tons Blundell's sold, to arrive, at $8,75. _ _

, .
TRox.—Scotch pig, in view of the small supply and favour-
able accounts from abroad, continued to advance, and some
300 tons had changed hands at 835, cash, and $36,53 to $37,
6 mos. Bars were very firm, with sales of refined English at
$67,50, and common $62,50, 6 mos. Of scrap, which is scarce
and wanted, we notice 175 tons West India No. 1, at $37,121,
cash ; and 100 ditto extra City, $4O, 6 mos. English sheet was
firm at 31c. to 44c.
FREIGIITB.—There was an increased business, with an up-
ward tendency. Liverpool :—Cotton, 5-32 d. to 3-16 d.; flour,

his suite will be very limited : his official residence will be at
the Chateau du Compeign and the Tuilleries, while in Paris.
There will be only one grand review at the Champ de Mars.

STABBING.—There were two cases of stabbing at the police-
court, on Saturday. Catherine Price, the wife of a dock
labourer, was charged with inflicting a serious wound on the
cheek of a widow named Elizabeth Johnson, They are
neighbours, and lived in Gore-street, Toxteth-park. On
Thursday morning the prisoner went into Johnson's house,
and they began to quarrel about a shirt which the latter had
missed. During the altercation the prisoner called the other
"an old liar," when the latter struck her. The prisoner, who
at the time was opening a cockle with a knife, rushed upon
the old woman, and inflicted a severe gash on her cheek.
She was removed in a fainting state to the Southern Hospital,
where the wound was dressed. Mr. Garland, who had at-
tended her, stated that when admitted she was suffering from
an incised wound on the left cheek, which had been caused
by some sharp instrument. She could not yet open her
mouth. The prisoner was remanded. In the second case,
Louis Petrie, seaman, belonging to the American ship Milton,
of New York, was charged with stabbing Bridget Calligan, a
girl of ill-repute. The latter stated that the prisoner was in
her house on Monday, about midnight, in a state of intoxica-
tion, and that, without saying anything to her, he suddenly
drew his knife from his sheath behind him, and aimed a blow
at her throat. She tried to elude the knife, which caught
her in the neck, producing a slight wound. She gave infor-
mation to the police, which led to the apprehension of the
prisoner. She had never seen him before. Mr. Sayer, of the
Northern Dispensary, stated that the prosecutrix was brought
in on Tuesday morning. She had a wound, two inches long
and three-quarters of an inch deep, cutting through the super-
ficial fibres of the muscles. She would not be able to move
her neck for a fortnight. The prisoner declared he was never
out of his ship on the night in question ; and on sending for
the shipkeeper, and a sailor, his statement was fully borne
out. It being evident that the girl had been mistaken in the
identity, he was discharged.

AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—The Gipsy Bride, Captain
Murphy, of the " Liverpool line," sailed from Liverpool for
Melbourne, yesterday, with 250 passengers, a full cargo of
valuable merchandise, and a ship letter bag. The Royal Mail
ship Red Jacket, of the " White Star" line went into the river
on Sunday, and will sail for Melbourne on Thursday, with the
mails for the Australian colonies. She will have nearly all her
berths full, and will carry about 300 passengers ; she has also
on board a large and valuable cargo of general merchandise.
The Monica, an extra packet of this line, will be dispatched for
Melbourne early in October. The mails of the 20th proximo
will be conveyed by the Mermaid, Captain Devey, which has
completed two very rapid passages to the antipodes. She was
to leave Melbourne early in July, and may be shortly expected.
The Indian Queen, Captain Jobson, belonging to the Black
Ball" line, went into the river on Saturday, and will sail in a
day or two for Melbourne, with a full cargo of general merchan-
dise and about 100 passengers. She will be succeeded on the
sth proximo by the Royal Mail ship Schomberg, Captain J. N.
Forbes, which will carry a full number of passengers and cargo.
Some novelties are introduced in the fittings of this celebrated
ship worthy of attention. Her 'tween decks are fitted up with
iron berths throughout, and have a very pretty and light
appearance. Her iron tanks are fitted to carry either water or
provisions, and, while they are able to bear any weight placed
upon them, they act as permanent ballast for the ship. The
fore-yard of the vessel is a hollow iron tube, made of -t-inch
plates, and the invention of which is claimed by Mr. John
Clare, jun. The Emigration Commissioners have advertised
for vessels to carry emigrants to Melbourne and Adelaide,
each to be ready for passengers between the Ist and 9th of
November, as may hereafter be determined. The Fiery Cross
is now loading east side of Prince's Dock, for Melbourne.
This ship attracts considerable attention; she is, without doubt,
the finest modelled vessel yet built at this port. Her poop
accommodations are very elegant and commodious. The Fiery
Cross takes neither intermediate or steerage passengers, and
is under engagements to sail on the sth October.
LANCASHIRE BURIAL BOARDS.--Returns were issued on
Friday of the fees determined upon by each of the Burial
Boards established under acts of the last three sessions, for
burials in the consecrated and unconsecrated ground respec-
tively, with the manner of their appropriation. St. Anthony's
Cemetery, Liverpool, has not, as yet, been opened, and no
scale of charges has yet been decided upon ; and Toxteth-park
Cemetery has but just been commenced. The corporation of
Warrington have only very recently been invested with the
powers of a Burial Board, and their cemetery is not yet con-
structed. At Bury the subject of fees has not yet been con-
sidered by the Burial Board, as the Vestry declined to vote
any money for the purposes of a cemetery ; and the Lancaster
Burial Board have not yet determined upon a table of fees, I
nor the manner of their appropriation. The Burial Board of
Preston, however, have adopted the following scale of fees,
which may serve as a guide in other cases :--The minister re-
ceives 2s. for reading the service, and 10s. 6d. extra if the per-
son buried has been brought from another parish ; £1 4s. for
the privilege of placing a stone over the grave, and £1 4s. extra
for a tomb : £4 for a single vault, and £lO for a double vault.
The clerk's fee is only 6d. The sexton receives 3s. 6d. for a
grave for an adult, and 2s. fid. for a child's grave; and is.
when called upon to remove and replace a stone. There is also
a fee of is 6d. for tolling the bell. Irrespective of the preced-
ing, the following charges are made by the Board :—For a
general grave, ls. 6d.; for a private grave in perpetuity, £1 ; I
for a single vault, £2 ; for a double vault, £4. These charges
are doubled in the case of persons not resident within the
township. The charge for the privilege of plitcing a stone
over a grave, we observe, in going through the returns, is un-
usually high, Li ls. being the highest in any other place in 1
England, wherein a burial board has been established, and
half that amount being a much more usual charge,

FALL OF SEBASTOPOL.

TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.
WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 10.
Lord Panmure has received the following telegraphic
despatch from General Simpson, dated
CRIMEA, Sept. 10.
The casualties, I regret to say, are somewhat heavy.
No General Officer killed.
Names shall be sent as soon as possible.

A supplement of the Moniteur of Monday publishes the
following :

The Minister of War received to-day (Sept. 10), at 3 p.m.,
the following telegraphic despatch from General Pelissier :
Bne Nciox REDOUBT, Sept. 9, 3 a.m.
Karabelnaia and the south part of Sebastopol no longer
exist.

The enemy perceiving our solid occupation of the Malakhoff,
decided upon evacuating the place, after having destroyed and
blown up, by mines, nearly all the defences.
Having passed the night in the midst of my troops, I can
assure you that everything in the Karnabelnaia is blown up,
and from what I could see, the same must be the case in front
of our left line of attack.
___

This immense success does the greatest honour to our troops.
I will send you detailed account of our losses during the
day, which after so many obstinate combats, must be consi-
derable.
To-morrow I shall be enabled to form an estimate of the
results of this great day's work, a great portion of the honour
of which is due to Generals Bosquet and MacMahon.
Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya, and we are vigilant
there.

The Minister of War at Paris received, at 10 o'clock on
Monday morning, the following news :

CRIMEA, September 9, 8 p.m.
This morning I ascertained that the enemy has sunk his
steamers. Their work of destruction continued under the fire
of our shells. The explosion of mines successively and on
different points makes it our duty to defer our entrance into
the place, which presents the spectacle of an immense confla-
gration. Closely pressed by our fire, Prince Gortschakoff has
demanded an armistice to carry away the remainder of the
wounded near fort St. Paul. The bridge, as a precautionary
measure, has been broken down by his orders.
I am collecting the returns of our losses, and you shall have
them as soon as ready. All goes on well. We are vigilant on
the Tchernaya. - _ _

PARIS, l‘londay, 10 p.m.

A despatch from General Della Marmora announces that in
the night which followed the capture of the Malakhoff the
Russians retired, burning the town, destroying the buildings,
and sinking their last ships.

It was General Bosquet's corps d' arine's which captured
the Malakhoff.

The Moniteur of Tuesday announces that the Minister of
Marine has received the following telegraphic despatch from
Vice-Admiral Bruat

CRIMEA, Sept. 9, 10.15 a.m.
The assault upon the Malakhoff Tower was made yesterday
at noon, and later on the Great Redan and Central Bastion.
A gale from the north kept the ships at anchor.
The mortar-boats, to be enabled to fire, were obliged to
enter Streletzka Bay.
They fired 600 shells against the Quarantine Bastion and
Fort Alexander. The six English mortar-boats, also at anchor
in Streletzka Bay, fired about the same number of shells.
Last night violent explosions and vast conflagrations made
us suppose that the Russians were evacuating the town.
To-day we ascertained that the Russian vessels had been
sunk.

The bridge was covered with troops retreating to the north
side.

After eight o'clock the bridge was destroyed.
Only a few steamers remain in the port, anchored near Fort
Catherine.

I approached this morning the Quarantine batteries on
board the Brandon, and ascertained myself that they are now
evacuated.

They have just blown up.
Our soldiers have left their trenches and spread themselves
in isolated groups on the ramparts of the town, which appears
to be completely abandoned.

--- PARIS, Wednesday.
The Minister of War received to-day, the 12th of Sept., the
following telegraphic despatch from Gen. Pelissier :
CRIMEA, Sept 10, 11 p.m.
I inspected to-day Sebastopol and its lines of defence.
The mind cannot form an exact picture of our victory, the
full extent of which can only be understood by an inspection
of the place itself.
The multiplicity of the works of defence and the material
means applied thereto exceed by far anything hitherto seen in
the history of war.

The capture of the Afalakhoff, which compelled the enemy
to fly before our eagles, already three times victorious, has
placed in the hands of the allies an amount of materiel and
immense establishments, the importance of which it is not yet
possible to state exactly.
To-morrow the allied troops will occupy the Karabelnaia
and the town, and under their protection an Anglo-French
commission will be occupied with making out a return of the
materiel abandoned to us by the enemy.
The exultation of our soldiers is very great, and it is with
shouts of Vive l'Empereur .' that they celebrate their victory
in the camp.
