MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The market, this week, both: as regards
cloth and yarn, has been dull, declining, and irregular. Some
producers have indeed withdrawn from the market, but others
have met the buyers on such terms as a demand, confined to
immediate wants, and with an overwhelming production,
would permit their obtaining. In some instances spinners
have been met by holders of stocks of their yarns, who have
been sellers at id. to id. per lb. under what the spinners
themselves demand ; for holders have little confidence in rates,
based on a speculation in cotton, being upheld, and would
rather secure a profit here than take the chance of foreign
markets. Altogether, we wish we could report less un-
favourably, or see any immediate prospect of being able to do
so.—Manchester Courier.

ROCHDALE.—A very fair demand for flannels, and the
manufacturers have asked better prices on account of the rise
in the raw material. There is not much change in wool ;
the demand is steady and prices very firm.
HIIDDERSFIELD.—A better attendance and more doing,
both in the Cloth Hall and warehouges. In fact, more cheer-
fulness and animation in the market than for some weeks
past. Prices are firm. Wool, also, has been in pretty fair
demand ; and the waste and mungo market may be fairly said
to have been brisk.

LEEDS.—A steady business continues to be done in the
woollen trade, and a full average quantity of goods changed
hands. The demand being equal to the supply, stocks are low,
and the mills generally well employed. Prices rule steady. A
steady, quiet business doing in the warehouses for the home
demand, and the shipping houses are brisker than they have
been for some time past. •
BRADFORD.—WooI: This market continues to be badly
supplied, and the prices are firm. Noils and brokes continue
in good request, and command high prices.—Yarns : The im-
provement in the demand for yarns, and the spinners being
generally working full time, has made an impression on the
minds of the youthful workers that better days are at hand,
and during the early part of the week there has been but
little yarn spun, as there has been a nearly general turn-out
for higher wages. The position of this branch of the trade has
been long bad, in consequence of having the raw material too
high, and the current rate for yarns too low, and any improve-
ment on the price of yarns has been met by an advanced price
of wool, and altogether the business is still profitless and un-
satisfactory.—Pieces : A fair amount of business doing, but
great complaints of the unprofitableness of it.
NOTTINGIIAM.—In the lace trade, silk goods are the prin-
cipal things selling. The hosiery trade is fair where firms
hold a stock of yarn at old prices, but to make goods at the
list of to-day, manufacturers cannot realise their own.

AT the Mansion-house, London, 'on Saturday, Samuel Seal,
who has been several times examined upon the charge of
having in his possession a large quantity of granulated gold,
supposed to be a portion of certain gold stolen upon its transit
from London to the Continent, via' Dover, was discharged, the
evidence beinglinconclusive.
Titz hum PEERAGE.—An extremely curious case was
mooted by Lord Derby in the House of Peers on Monday.
The point is raised as to whether the patent for the new
Baron of " Fermoy" in the Irish Peerage is not absolutely
void. By the "Act of Union" three Irish Peerages must be-
come extinct before the Crown can create a new Irish Peer.
The provision was introduced in order to guard the Irish no-
bility against being swamped by profuse creations. Accord-
ing to Lord Derby's singularly lucid statement, only two
Irish Peerages have recently become vacant, but the Ministers
have tried back upon 'the Earldom of Montrath, which be-
came vacant in 1802, and which they allege was never counted
before by the Herald's Office. This seems a singular fact, if
true, when we know that the Irish Commoners are keenly
alive to the vacancies in the Irish Peerage. The whole matter
is to be brought under the Committee of Privileges. On the
political propriety of making Mr. Burke Roche a Peer, Lord
Derby did not dwell at any length.

TUESDAY, 'TUNE 19, 1F)".5.

ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.

WITHOUT attaching any undue importance to the
movement for what is called Administrative Reform,
and which proclaimed its existence by a monster
meeting in Drury-lane Theatre, on Wednesday, it
cannot be denied that there is a growing uneasiness
and dissatisfaction in popular opinion with reference
to the administration of public affairs. It is not,
however, so clear that the present agitators are pur-
suing the right course to obtain the object they
profess to desire—always supposing that they are
sincere in their professions, and that they are not
making use of a popular cry in order to gratify
personal ambition. The progress of the War, more
particularly during the few months which followed
the landing of the British troops in the Crimea, when
complaints were rife of grievous suffering through
privations, caused by official incompetency or neglect,
naturally excited a large share of public indignation,
and induced consideration as to the most effectual
mode of applying a remedy to what appeared so
serious an abuse of authority. It was not simply that
appointments to important offices were made from
motives of personal favour rather than from conviction
of the fitness of the candidate for the office, and his
ability to perform the duties required, but the conse-
quences were frightfully apparent in the sufferings
and mortality of the gallant army exposed to the
rigours of a winter in the Crimea, and which
increased to such an extent as to threaten even the
existence of the British force before Sebastopol, and,
consequently, the position of Great Britain in the
struggle which she had entered upon with so much
confidence in the result. As thick as hail came post
on post, bringing the most saddening accounts of the
melancholy details ; and while the public mind was in
a fever of excitement, lamenting the evil, but scarcely
knowing how to accomplish redress, Mr. LAYARD
appeared upon the scene as a candidate for office upon
a change of Ministers. He was considered too dan-
gerous as an opponent, in the then state of parties, for
some attempt not to be made at conciliation, and he
was offered first one place and then another, which he
refused, on the ground of his knowing nothing of the
duties required of him. He then made an appeal to
public opinion, explaining his position, and stating
that what was most wanted was " the right men in
the right places." The assertion was at once laid hold
of, as the key to a solution of the difficulty, and
made a popular cry, out of which arose the movement
for Administrative Reform.
In common, however, with all movements of the
like character, in which feelings and prejudices are
appealed to rather than judgment and experience, the
argument is driven to the extreme, until it tends to
excite opposition when it might otherwise have met
with support. There is too much truth in the asser-
tion that duties are entrusted to those who are utterly
incapable of their performance ; and we cannot, per-
haps, do better than quote the following remarks from
an able article in Blackwood's Magazine of this
month, on " The Palmerston Administration." The

writer says :
" Now, why is it that Lord Palmerston, whose accession to
power some three months ago was greeted with acclaim by a
considerable section of the public, who believed that at last
they had got " the right man in the right place," should now
be distrusted and decried ? It is vain to attribute this to
popular fickleness; for although the public mind, collectively,
is fickle, and sometimes unreasonable in its expectations, yet
most men form their conclusions from what they hear and
observe, and there is commonly a considerable lapse of time
between the flow and ebb of aggregate opinion. In this in-
stance it has been unusually rapid. Palmerston, the favourite
of February, is Palmerston the mistrusted of May. For this
singular change many reasons may be assigned. In the first
place, Lord Palmerston showed very little discretion in the
construction of his cabinet. The tendency of the Whigs,
from the commencement, has been to govern by means of a
small junta or restricted clique of aristocratic families ; in
short, to job the government of Great Britain whenever they
could get it into their hands. So pertinacious are they in
their adherence to this arrangement, that no instances of inca-
circle. All they do is to shift him to
