country reached a height never before attained. Owing
to the demand for the Mut cotton geode matince to
figure for the heaviest Mamas, but the shipments Of
linens have also been unusually large.

The general business of the port of London continues
on a full scale, the arrivals dill including numerous
cargoes of sugar. The number of ships reported inward
was 214, and those cleared outward amounted to 123,
including 23 in ballast. The export trade is likewise
active, the actual shipments of British goods being All
heavy, and those to the Continent showing an increase.
Leans, Aug. 23.—There was only a moderato
attendance of merchants at the cloth-balls this morning,
and the attendance of manufacturers was considerably
less than an average. A quiet tone prevailed, and only
a limited Wiliness was transacted. The smallness of
the attendance at the halls is amounted for from the
fact that many of the manufacturers are at present in
London, engaged in the wool sales, and others are
busily engaged in executing orders at home. indeed,
the absence of activity in the cloth-halls, so far from
beings criterion of the dullness of trade, is the result in
this instance of the unusual briskness which at present.
prevails. The manufacturers are all busily employed to
order, which is decidedly preferable to malting goods to
expose for sale in the market, so that stocks are exceed-
ingly low. For almost all kinds of materials adapted
for winter wear there is a ready demand, and there is
also a fair sale for good plains cloths. On the whole,
the aspect of the home trade is very cheering, and there
is every prospect of an active business in woollen cloths
for some time to come.

Mascazirrea, Aug. 23.—1 n yarns there hail heell •
rather more cheerful feeling among sellers for mast
markets. This is owing chiefly to ode,, from Bombay.
mostly for native merchants, and a good &mod or
China. This has given firmness to pisces so faz as suit-
able twists are concerned, but the advises from Calcutta
are unfavourable, and though they have led to inquiries
these have not resulted in sales, The Germans are
buying, and 30's water are very firm. Home trade
yarns for manufactures are slow of sale, and cep yarns
from 50's downwards are rather chemise ; but Bohm
spinninp from 60's upwards are in fail request and
dearer, with a tendency to advance. In sloths for India,
owing to accounts from Gallant= per telegram to 25th
July, which are unfavourable, there has not bum tomb
business. The effect of these advises has been bad on
the market for India goods generally, sad thins I sou-
tinuod downward tendency in mom. Poe the home
trade there is still • good general demand at tall prises,
but sonic kinds of T-cdotbs and longclotbs-go off slowly.
The demand for printers continues lap, and very fall
prices are maintained. We hear of the builders' strike
in London having been imitated to some extent in ear-
rounding towns, and the turn-out at Padilla= &mon
the cotton trade continues. The master spinners at
Ashton, Dukindeld, Woraley, Staleybridge, proylesgen,
and Failsworth have also received notice requesting
them to advance priors 71 per cent, on hand-mes, and
10 per cent, on self-actors, but giving till the 10th of
March nest for an answer. Some other towns are also
moving in the same direction. Messrs. John Stagg and
Soo say,—" We have again to report • very quiet
market for India goods, and prices of all kinds have
given way a little since Tuesday last. In other kinds
there is no change to notice, the demand continuing ono
moderate Neale at last week's prices.
LEICESTER, Aug. 24.—The hosiery trade continues
active; a good business is doing at the warehouses in
most branches; indeed, considerably more than an
average amount of business is doing. This activity has
continued for • considerable time, and future prospects
are encouraging. Spinners are well engaged, working
for the most part to order, and yarns continue In request.
The wool-market continues active, and all choice
tkualities are high in price, with no prospect of • diminu-
tion. .

NOTTINGHAM, Aug. 24. —ln several branches of the lao•
trade there is rather wore doing this week. Sonia good
orders for plain Mechlin' and Mechlin quilling', as also
for Mosquito. have been received. There are several
buyers in the market, but their purchases are by no
means extensive. There is nearly an average business
doing in the home department. Stocks on hand are
light, and a good deal of machinery is standing lineup
ployed. In hosiery there continues to be a good buWness
doing for the period of the year. Manufactures are well
engaged. There is • good demand for fancy goods, and
a difficulty hail been experienced in completing orders.
In the country districts trade is in a 'healthy state.
Yarns are firm, at full quotations. Silks is exceedingly
high in price.

The continental journals state that in addition to the
Three per Cent loan of £12,000,000 lately introduced in
the London market by the Russian Government, a
home Five per Cent, loan is contemplated, of which
the proceeds are also to be devoted to the reguLttion of
the currency. The new banking and trading society
recently established is expected to take a large share,
notwithstanding a contribution it has already made to
•the English loan.
THE INDIA LOAN—The India 5 per cent. loan of
£5,000,090 was successfully contracted on Tuesday
morning. The mistimes; price fixed by the Council was
97, and it appeared upon opening the tenders that there
were biddings for 2,5,824,710 at and above that point,
while there were also applications on lower terms for
about £2,500,000. The main proportion of the accepted
tenders ranged between 97 and 97k; but there were a
few at or about 98, and one at the extraordinary price
of 190. The total at 97 was £1,339,490, and the appli-
cants at that price will receive only about 38 1-3rd per
cent, of the amounts sought, as the total taken at
higher figures is £4,485,350. Messrs. Rothchild sent in
a list for nearly 21,000,0001 d £97 Os. Gd., and nearly
another £1,000,000 was subscribed at £97 is. On the
first announcement of the completion of the loan it was
stated that the applications at and above the taDtiatlike
amounted to 136,9'..16,9911, and that those who had
tendered at 97 would consequently receive only about
per cent, of the sums asked. Late in the afternoon,
however, a mistake was discovered, and it then appeared
that the proportions are as have just been l

A FIDIALI SAILOI.—On Wednesday • woman was
charged at the Newport police-oeloa, Noamouthshire,
with walking about in male attire. The &dissident, who
wore seamen's clothes, in her appearance, gait, and
return appeared to he every inch a sailor; and in
boldness of conduct presented a striking isoutrast to the
quiet-looking seaman, her husband, who stood beside
her. It seemed that for 10 years she has scorned her
proper clothing and devoted herself to hard and loses.
lint toil. In various capacities she has voyaged to
Quebec, Bombay, and other distant places, and at times
has shipped in coasters, never shrinking from her share
of duty, but loading and unloading the cargoes with
the crew. On one omission, it is said, she carried
between the vessel and the shore, in • day, no lees
than 70 sacks of flour; while at the winch her courage
never flagged and her strength never failed. During
two of the 10 years spoken of, however, she did • little
duty on land, working as • navvy upon the railway to
Exeter. Yet her sex was never suspected. Her last
voyage was front Truro, as an ablebodied seaman, at
1:2 rei. per month. She arrived at Newport • short time
ago, but her sex became by some means revealed; and,
as she continued to remain here and dress as usual, the
sergeant of the dock police preferred the charge. The
defendant said she was married on the 12th of July last,
and shipped as cook and steward about three inimtlis
ago, ui order to support her husband, who had met
with • misfortune. The woman was discharged, and
left the court, obtaining the protection of an omnibus,
however, to prevent being mobbed.
