LONDON, IIONDAY, MAY ft

Tax check whisk hies lately been given to busi-
nese in some of tin manufacturing districts con-
tinues. It aka seareely be said that employment
is less general, but the transactions in several of
the great staples of manufacture ham diminished
in munber and amount. The accounts from the
Manchester market state that business during the
past week has been upon the smaller scale known
for a year or two. A marked effect is still exer-
cised there by the alterations in the Indian tariff,
and by what are called the "anomalies in the
valuationa" of goods, as reported in recent account"
from Calcutta. Trade is proverbially jealous of
new fiscal regulation', experience having proved
that they are, in too many instances, imposed
without a correct estimate of their pro-
bable practical working. The apprehension is
very generally felt, or at least expressed, at Man-
chester, thit the new tariff in India will interfere
seriously with the exportation of the lower descrip-
tions of cotton goods to that country. Numerous
remonstrances have already been lodged in official
quarters. Merchants who at first felt great die-
couragement are now endeavouring to adapt them-
selves to the new conditions ; but, meanwhile,
blamer in connexion with India has received a
great check, and a considerable effect has been
produced upon quotations both in India and here.
Shippers seem to be at last taking warning from
the decline in prices at Calcutta, which further
cute away the slender margin of profit on recent
consignments. The tendency of prices throughout the
Manchester market, therefore, is downwards, and
those manufacturers who are not engaged upon
contracts are much more willing to sell, even at
reduced rates. As usually happens in this condi-
tion of the market, buyers are encouraged to with-
hold all orders which are nut of an urgent dm-
racier. The healthy appearance of the hone
trade forms the moat satisfactory feature presented
at the moment.
As a set-off against the reduction in the vales
of manufactured articles must be placed the con-
tinued decline in that of the raw material. The
Liverpool ootton market is still drooping. Holders
betray an increased desire to realise, and reduced
rates have been established during the pest
week, particularly in the lower qualities. This
movement is a natural result of the extra-
ordinary magnitude of the supply. Liverpool is,
in fact, full of cotton. The computed stock in that
port at this moment exceeds rider Imadred
tiu0i..1,4 boles : at the same period last year it
was only about sue-half of this amount—via.,
641,32 u bales. Ho rapid is the influxthat the
deficiency of store room is now much complained
of. More must be provided ; and, accordingly,
the " warehouse committee" of the Merry Dock
Board has been charged to take into consideration
the advisability a :cuing at a moderate rental the
warehouses at Hirkenheiml. It IVY LattliiC:t.d 7.4.'
t recent meeting of the Board that another quarter
of a million of bales of cotton will arrive in the
port within the rat few weeks.
As regards the woollen trade, the principal com-
plaints of dulness seem to come from Hudders-
field, but it is admitted that the stocks of goods
are by no means large. The more cheerful ac-
counts are from Leeds, where prices are steady,
and the stocks in the warehouses only moderate.
At Bradford the demand for worsted yams for ex-
portation has slackened, owing to the higher prices
now asked, but a good business is still going for-
ward for home consumption. At Rochdale, like-
wise, inanufscturen are demanding increased prices
for sonic kinds of goods, such as flannels, in con
lieqUeli,v of the remarkable tirumer of the wool
market. As regards the raw material, the condi-
tion of business in the woollen districts
is almost portrayed in the remark that
the holder of wool ha. the fixing of
the price, and the buyer has no alternative but
to pay it. lu wane quarters it was thought that
the arri.al of the new clip of wool in the market
would have an effect upon pricey but the few
panels which have yet come forward appear to
have been sold at even higher rates than were
anticipated.
At Barnsley, the linen trade has improved,
the operatives are well employed. At lA/Immo?
Loughhorough, and in the contiguous dim ' ,
business is moderately active. At Nottingham
the depressed oiudition of the lace trade is chiefly
complained of, but the hosiery branch is described
as healthy. la South Staffordshire the iron trade
has improved, owing to an influx of orders ; but
at Bir 'Mecham boluses ie described as rather dull.
A bad impreetion has been produced in that town
by a failure W • considerable amount, under
circumatanoes strongly marked by fraud. At
Belfast and Dundee a moderate amount of Wei-
owe ia reported in rsassfactured goods, at elendy
prime.
It may be useful to lest dame lend 'specie by
an eta:must/4.n of the Board of Trade returns for
the mouth of April, which were published en Ha-
muday. We gather from these return, that the

THE

amount of the general export mak of the king-
dom last month was equal to that in the corre-
sponding month of 1859, whilst as regards the
exports for the first four months of the present
year the remit is elision precisely the same. The
betel shipments are stated at 11,352,4401. in
April, 1860, against 11,330,7301. in April, 1859,
and at 41,834,347/. in the four months ending
ithe 30th April, 1860, against 41,851,5241. in
the four months ending the 30th April, 1859. In
other words, our general foreign trade is this
year as large as at any former period, the year
1859 having considerably exceeded all its prude-
moors. A comparison with the exports in 1858
shows an increase this year of 20 per cent. on
the single month and of 26 per cent on the four
months.

Of the aggregate of 41,834,347/. of various
articles exported in the first four months of the
present year, 12,504,2141., or considerably more
than one-fourth, consisted of cotton manufactures,
exclusive of three millions' worth of cotton yarn,
a quarter of a million's worth of cotton thread for
mewing, and other minor " cotton " items. Con-
sidering the state of the Indian markets, it is
satisfactory to observe that the shipments of
" cottons " to the " British East Indies," which
rose in the four months of 1859 to the extraordi-
nary amount of 3,942,0991., have declined in the
four months of 1880 to 3,018,420/. Against
this decline must be set a marked re-
covery in the trade with China, which
has absorbed in the four months 1,190,6241.
of cotton goods, against 658,1621. in 1859, and
528,7061. in 1858. Poor despised Turkey has
taken in the same period this year no less than
11,133,139/. of "cottons," against 866,4201. last
year, and 817,5931. in 1858. The growth of
commerce in that quarter justifies the view that
there is not a more promising channel for custom
in existence. Turkey already consumes nearly as
large an amount of our cotton manufactures as

thslJnited States. The figures relating to the
latter are 1,362,8411. in the four months of 1860,
against 1,307,5661. in 1859, and 717,1251. in
1858.

The extent of the consumption of articles of
food and luxury forms the best possible criterion
of the condition of the population at large. Let
us see what quantity of imported commodities the
people of the United Kingdom have been able to
pay for and consume daring the first four months
of the present year, as compared with the corre-
sponding periods of the two previous years.
Cocoa figures for 1,335,398 lbs., against
1,159,144 lbs. in 1859, and 1,039,237 lbs. in
1858 ; tea for 25,365,690 lbs., against
24,863,680 Its. and 24,130,672 lbs. ; coffee for
12,694,364 lbs., against 11,483,379 lbs. and
13,046,135 lbs. ; brandy for 1,411,909 proof
gallons, against 1,186,423 and 1,226,363; rum
for 448,222 gallons, against 384,570 and
338,170 ; and wines for 2,581,566 gallons against
2,430,764 and 2,153,694. The only important
articleethat shows decrease are sugar and molasses.
Of unrefined sugar the quantity entered for home
consumption this year is only 2,611,408 meta.
against 2,739,092 in 1859 and 2,944,262 in
1858. A heavy decline in wheat (of which only
540,468 qrs. have been taken, against 1,050,366
and 1,191,165), and in flour (of which the quan-
tity entered this year is 645,145 cwts. against
1,069,661 and 1,508,220), is matter for congratu-
lation, as indicating the adequacy of our home
production, and our practical independence of the
I foreigner. The steady increase in the use of
tobacco—an article of luxury, in which moat per-
sons would economise were the times bard—further

attests the large consuming capacity of the nation.
In four mouths we have already taken the

enormous quantity of 11,875,656 lis. of tobacco
in various forms. In 1859 the figures were
11,603,067 lbs., and in 1858, 11,319,324 lbs.

GARIBALDI'S EXPEDITION.

(n.ox Qui owir

NAPLES, ?Lky 22.

Several government vessels have arrived from
Palermo, but no post-boat, and curious reports are
in circulation as to her fate ; indeed it is said that
she was sent round to Messina with despatches, and
there she (the Elettrioo) was taken possession of
by the emigrants, a great number of whom are re-
ported to have landed at Cefalu. I put a report,
of this capture in quarantine for some hours, and
proceed with an abridgement of the dispatches of
official persons which have bees placed be-
fore me. The political state of Palermo
(says one) was worse, and an attack was ex-
pected from Garibaldi at any day or hour.
The troops had been thoroughly beaten and the
13th Cuirassiers (commonly called the Croats), who
had been sent from Palermo to Castellamare, in order
to be forwarded to the support of General Landi,
returned to Palermo ;it was too late the
general had been defeated, and his troops were in
full flight. They entered, said this letter, in a
most deplorable state, in small parties, and full of
discouragement. The sbirri are going about and
giving up their arms, and asking for their lives,
whilst the officers are doing pretty nearly the same
thing, and are said many of them to have joined
the insurgents.

A letter from a General Officer, which came up
CM Sunday by the Etna, says that orders had been
given for the concentration of troops at Palermo,
which order had been obeyed. General Landi
had, however, been at a distance, and therefore he
could not retire, but was compelled to meet the
enemy, and in fact was defeated. The Carabineers
loot 80 men killed and 300 wounded ; whilst the
Bth Chassears had 20 killed and more than 100
wounded. His retreat was made in confusion, and
it was by a miracle of the Immaculate Virgin that
he was preserved. He acknowledges that the in-
surgents fought like heroes, and urges his friends to
use every effort that his resignation which be
had already sent in to the Commander-in-Chief,
may be accepted. Landis brigade lost two cannon.
The mail to Girgenti was stopped two or three
nights since by the insurgents, and its papers burnt.
The monks of Gancia have been set at liberty and
declared innocent, so have many others during the
last week, and the custode of the prison declares
that it is quite a pleasant relief, as there are only
1,800 in prison. Muitelome, Giardini, Trebia,
and others have been transferred from the city to
Castellamare, of course for the sake of security.
The jesuita, like rooks, are beginning to desert
the falling tree.
The greatest excitement prevails in Naples, and
the sky is full of canards, but what is certain is
that every effort is being made to send off troops
and ammunition to Sicily, which leave during the
night. Many aces have been sent from the pekoe
to Gnats, and the garrison at Portici has been

'increased. A banner of Garibaldi was taken
over to the King and remains in Portici. It has
the crime of Savoy on one side and on the other a
woman with broken chains. She is dressed as a
Greek and is richly ornamented with gold. On it
is the following inscription :—" Al Prode Generale
Garibaldi Deno dell' America!" and on the other
side are two hands clasped, with the word'
"l'Uaione fa la form !"
