MANCHESTI3R.
Since this day week, the buyers of cloth and yarn have
been gradually coming up to the demands of manufacturers
and spinners; but the great advance again in cotton, since
Friday, has to-day caused the producers to ask higher prices,
at which little business has as yet been done. 1 his market
does not seem able to follow the cotton market further.

LONDON.
SUGAR : A portion of the quantity which was advertised
for public sale to-day has been withdrawn, and the market
has opened with a steady appearance, but the demand is not
active.

COFFEE has been firm, without alteration in prices,
to-day.
TEA continues steady ' • common Congou, 9(1.
RICE : The low prices have brought in a few buyers, yet
the article has a dull appearance.
SALTPETRE : his article is now in progress of shipment
to various ports, and the present prices, 34s to 375, are firmly
supported.

COTTON : A large demand has sprung up, and prices are a
shade higher. 2,500 bales sold yesterday, chiefly Tinnevelly,
4id to 40-d.

YESTERDAY'S MARKET.
LEEDS CORN , Wheat very dull, and a decline of 3s is
quoted; barley scarce, and firm ; beans and oats slow sale,
and is lower.

France has proposed a treaty of commerce with Siam.
Mr. C. GAVAN DUFFY.—News has been received of the
arrival of Mr. C. G. Day and Mr. Wilson Giay at
Melbourne, on the sth of November last.
The Paris correspondent of the Tines states that Count
Walewski, in announcing to the Congress the intention
to withdraw the Franch troops from Greece, expressed
the hope that Austria would withdraw her army from the
Roman Legations, as it was impossible Italy could re-
m sin in her present condition, which was growing worse
every day. Count Buol, in reply, said he had no instruc-
tions from the Emperor.
CAPE or Goon Hors.—H.M, steam sloop Hydra, has
brought advices to Feb. 16. H. 31 S Nerbudda, Com.
Kerr, so long missing, is now quite given up, no traces
whatever of her having been found, after the most dili-
gent search. The colony remains quiet. The Governor.
Sir George Grey, has lately resided some months on the
Kaffir frontier, in order to carry out himself the course
devised by him. No Kaffir rear disturbance is now
apprehended.
THE BRITISH SHIP RESOLUTE.—We learn from a corres-
pondent at New London, that the British government have
given up all claim to the ship Resolute, now lying in that
harbour, and that she is to be sold, with all her fixtures, for
the benefit of the parties concerned in her recovery. An
account of her " furnishings" is new being taken, among
which is a choice supply of articles of an anti-Maine law
character, which are represented to be of a superior kind.
The hardy men who succeeded in rescuing this ship, will
now receive a handsome reward for their resolution and
hardships.—New Haven Palladium, 20th March.
ALARM OF FIRE AT DRURY LANE.—On Sunday morn-
ing, a little before one o'clock, a gentleman rushed from the
stage entrance of Drury Lane, into Great Russell street,
exclaiming that the theatre was on fire. It was soon dis-
covered, however, that the alarm was ill founded, having
arisen from some experiments which, under the sanction of
the committee of management of the theatre, had been
made by the Fire Annihilator Company. The fire anni-
hilator, which was being tried on some of the gas battens,
had its head blown off by the liberated carbonic acid. The
whole of the stage was immediately enveloped in a mist,
and some persons fancying the place was on fire, rushed oat
and gave al alarm to this effect.
It is not improbable that a new military convention
will be concluded, and that under it every foreign soldier,
and all the warlike stores of France, England, and Sar-
dinia will be withdrawn from Turkey within six months.
The Opinione of Turin says, that Russia is to have ten
ships of war in the Euxine. The phrase is calculated
to produce an erroneous impression. The so-calle,l
ships of war are mere guard coasters, of light draught
and slender armament, for the purpose of maintaining
the police of the Black Sea. At the opening of the war
Russia had 25 sail of the line in the Euxine, besides war
vessels and steamers of less dimensions. These, with
the military arsenals and building yards of Nicolaieff,
and the arsenal of Sebastopol, were indeed a standing
menace to Turkey; but the arsenals and fortifications
will soon exist no more.
Sr JOHN DEAL TRADE.--We give below an authentic
statement showing the participation of American tonnage
for last year, in the deal trade of St. John N. 8., which will
prove interesting to those of our readers who are engaged
in mercantile pursuits :—ln 1855 there were loaded and
cleared at the port of St. John, New Brunswick, ninety
vessels hailing from the United States, viz„ ships 81,
barques 7, brigs 2. The total register tonnage of which was
85,898 tons; carrying in standards, 33,213 tons; and
earning in freight the gross sum 583,760 dols. Showing
an increase on the previous year (18.54) of twenty-four
vessels ; tonnage, 26,247 tons; and freight earned, 43,702
dols. For the information of insurance companies, it may
be mentioned that out of the above fleet of ninety vessels in
1855, but one casualty happened in the Bay of Fundy.
The ship Cavalier, of 1,286 tons, got ashore going down the
bay, but was got off.
CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OP CARLISLE. —Ol2 Sunday
morning the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Henry Montagu Villiers,
of Christ Church, Oxford, late rector of St. George's,
Bloomsbury, was consecrated to the Bishopric of Carlisle.
The ceremony took place in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall,
which was crowded in every part, many of the nobility
being present, Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr. Jones,
and a sermon was preached by the Archbishop of York, in
whose province the diocese of Carlisle is situated. His
grace afterwards went to the alter, w^ ere Dr. Villers, vested
in a rochet, was presented to him by two suffragan bishops.
The Queen's mandate having been read, and the bishop
elect having read the oath touching the acknowledgment of
the Queen's supremacy, he was admitted into the episcopate,

brother of the Earl of Clarendon, her Majesty's principal
Secretary of St,lte for Foreign Affairs, and a brother-in-law
of Sir G. C. Lewis, Bart., the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
will not be entitled to a seat in the House of Lords until a
vacancy arises in a see other than Canterbury, York,
London, Durham, or Winchester,
