DIE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. - The accounts
from the manufacturing district generally wear an im-
proved aspect this week. The operatives engaged in
textile manufactures are gradually obtaining more em-
ployment; the numbers absolutely out of work are fast
diminishing, and the mills are in most parts resuming
full time. In some of the mining, pottery, and colliery
districts depression continues to be felt, and there are
still many hands on strike, the number having been aug-
mented to some extent by fresh turn-outs, consequent
on a further reduction of wages having come into oper-
ation after due notice. The number of mercantile
failures is greatly on the decrease, and the affairs of the
firms already suspended are generally being arranged in
a satisfactory manner,

The Stock Exchange Committee have decided that all
transactions in the French funds in this market shall be
henceforth effected at a fixed exchange of 25f. to the Z.
A dividend of 7i per cent, for the last year has been
declared by the directors of the London Wine Company
upon the capital paid up. The dividend will be pay.
able on and after Monday (yesterday).
In the discount market the supply of money continues
excessively large. The current rate for good paper is
to 4 per cent., but we hear of transactions in choice
bills below 3i per cent. At the Bank of England the
applications continue very few.
It is officially announced that yesterday (Monday the
day fixed for the marriage of the Princess Royal) will be
kept as a close holiday at the Stock Exchange and Law
Courts, by order of the committee and judges. The day
day will also be very generally observed as a holiday
in all City circles.
The stock of coin and bullion in the Bank of England
is now between fourteen and fifteen millions, with the
prospect of a further considerable increase. The re-
serve is also rapidly augmenting, the Bank being large
receivers of money, whilst they pay very little out.
Should the favourable movement continue unchecked un-
til Thursday, as is probable, there is a strong impression
that the minimum rate of discount will on that day
be reduced from sto 4 per cent. The maintenance of
the existing rate for another week is probably prompted
by the desire of the directors to witness • larger reduc-
tion in the item of "other securities."

SONZ Inca On INN Paarzaescs evinced by the Public for
Horniman & Co.'. Pure Tea, may be formed from the simple
fact, that upwards of Ten Thousand feet superficial of Ware-
house-flooring are in constant working occupation by their
staff of Packers, to turn out a sufficient quantity to supply
their numerous Agents. The advantage this arnmgement
affords to the Consumer may be thus summed up :—Tee ordi-
narily pares through numerous hands, and he. to bear
multiplied profits: from the Grower it pollees to the Merchant,
next to the Tea Broker—then to the London Wholeeale Dealer,
afterwards to the Provincial Trader, and finally to the Rs;
taller ;—but by Homlman I Co.'. mode of supply, all they
Import is wild direct to the Public by Agents, secured in sealed
Packets with the price printed on the Label ; therefore,
uniform good quality and value is safely guaranteed to con-
mums In all parts of the Kingdom.--fiee Lan ot
