BOULOGNI-SUR-M ER, SErr. 10.

We have had a terrine gale here during the last four
days, and the intercourse with England was for two days
completely interrupted. The last arrival was the Meduas ;
her appearance was hailed with intense anxiety, as the sea
was running dreadfully high when she entered the har-
bour. She escaped as if by a miracle. Yesterday the
Rapid stesm-boat ventured to put to sea for London ; for
nearly 1134' an hour she was in imminent danger of going
to piec,s .n the bar at the entrance of the harbour, but
she too escipril ; and this day the Royal George has smiled,
rith about ten passel% n and four carriages, for Dover.
Th:ae vo.. la have triumphantly vindicated the superiority
of stes9:-pow,r over every other mode of water con-
vey-mice. _ _ _

ing it to he had. except at au exorbitant price, and during
the last two m *litre have been many instances of
pasons being compelled to have the inn from not being
Able to pricere a bed in it. With this fullness you may
tacitly cent, iie that it is no longer a very cheap place;
indottl, persons may live almost as cheaply in the dearest
parts of England.
There was lately a kind of gaol delivery of English
debtors, perhaps from the contrietim of the uselessness of
keeping the parties confined any longer; but the places of
etc emancipated so:stirs of dissipation have been already
filled. Improvident as these pesetas have been, it is lin.
p ssible Dot In fru I for their present condition. They are
:oared or in a small unhealthy place, abounding with filth
a cur,. description ; and the female debtors, of which
thlr. sv rot a few, are in the same room. It is really sur-
prisieg that tnen should v. mitre into debt in a place where
tie punishment is so drestlfal. 'I he very worst prison in
Elpand is a palace compared with the Hotel d'.lnglettrre,
SS it is satirically called at It mlogne.

STATE OF TRADE.

Although it is not in our power to announce any im-
provement in trade, it is with pleasure we state that our
silk manufacturers have nothing to fear from French cam-
petition, as far as regards the quality of goods. 'ln price,
certainly, the foreigner has an apparent advantage ; but
the purchasers of silk goods, we have no doubt, will soon
appreciate the value of the silk manufacture of this town,
and give it a decided preference.ifuedelie/d Herald.
There is little alteration in the state of trade since our
last ; goods continue to be sold, but the prices are so low
that there appears little or no chance of giving speedy em-
ployment to the workmen.—Kendol Chronicle.
There is a trifling, hut decided improvement in our
trade, if increased work be a criterion of improvement ;
for an additional number of workmen have been taken on
in several of our establishments. Prices of labour have
not however advanced.—Car/irie .Inurnal.
