EXPRESS. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18,

FrOM the twit districts the scooimts are

satisfactory. Both at Berminghamrd Wolver:l
hampton, the influx el orders bas lecreesed, sod
business generally, though not active, is Oonaldered
healthier. From the latter town it is stated that
most of the large employers are able to keep their
men on "at as much time as they usually
" make at this season ;" and it is owned that
" there will not remain much cause for complaint
" if the moderate trade which is now going on
"can be sustained." The orders received, how-
ever, are prinzipally for the home trade, the de-
mand for the United States and other foreign
markets being slack.
From Paisley there are some complaints of the
failure of the spring trade, caused by the weather.
The linen trade at Belfast and Dundee is steady.
The Irish flax-growers appear to be obtaining very
good prices, and to be so independent as to be oc-
casionally indifferent to selling. The Belfast
spinners have accordingly been rather glad of the
opportune arrival of a considerable quantity from
Rigs. The Scotch export iron trade shows signs
of improvement.

A conference wee held yesterday afternoon at

tended by the four Kings, and by the Grand
Dukes of Hesse-Darmstadt and Nassau. Before

Cordon of the Legion of Honour to the King of
Hanover.

villa of the Duchess of Hamilton. At thin assemblie
the Emperor took leave of the Sovereigns, all of
whom were present, and departed at 10 p.m. for
Strasburg. _ _

BADEN, Barosamr.

The Emperor after his arrival yesterday dined
with his suite. At about 5.30 p.m. the Prince
Regent, who yesterday paid the first visit to the
German Sovereigns, sent Lieutenant von Loen to
present his compliments to the Emperor. It was
the Emperor's intention to have visited the Prince
Regent first. The Prince Regent, however, came
at 8.30 p.m. to the Villa Stephanie, and remained
with the Emperor till 9.15 p.m. The Emperor then
intended to surprise the Grand Duchess Hamilton,
daughter of the Grand Duchess Stephanie, but did
not find her at home. He thereupon took tea with
the Grand Duke of Baden, the sovereigns of Weimar
and Coburg, who reside in the Duke's palace, only
being present.
To-day a grand dijetner, attended by all the Sove-
reigns, took place in the old palace.
This morning the weather was very fine. The
Emperor, the Prince Regent, and the other Sove-
reigns breakfasted at the Grand Duke's palace. To-
morrow they will dine at the Grand Duke's chateau,
a little distance out of Baden. Yesterday, at a con-
cert in the Kursaal, the public opinion was that the
congress of the Sovereigns would strengthen peace.
This morning at nine o'clock the Emperor, while
taking a promenade on foot, was surrounded by
great numbers of persons. It is reported that the
Duke of Nassau has arrived, and that the Emperor
of Austria is expected.
This evening there will be a meeting of the
Princes at the palace, which will be illuminated.
The Kings of Saxony, Bavaria, and Hanover again
visited the Emperor. At five o'clock p.m. they
will all dine at the Grand Duke's palace. The Em-
peror will most likely leave for Paris on Sunday
at ten p.m. . . . . .

It is stated, on good authority, that at yesterday's
interview with the Prinoe Regent, the Emperor
Napoleon repeated his peaceful assurances, and
said that he desired the interview in order to ex-
press them verbally. The Duke of Nassau arrived
here to-day.
