STATE Or TRADE.—MANCHESTEE, Aug. H.—There is
a moderate business doing in cloth, where sellers are not
disposed to insist upon a full advance commensurate with
the rise upon the raw material. Manufactures are much
disNaisfied that the speculative feeling at Liverpool
should step in to deprive them of the prospects they had
of an improved business for India, which any attempt at
improved prices amounts to, seeing that the recent ad-
of large sales at Calcutta, report
vices, while speaking
that they are attended with a depression in value. The
offers making this morning to sellers were mostly under
the prices sought on Tuesday, and hence a limited trade.
Spinners were also very firm in asking an advance, and
those who had pressing orders were obliged to concede
it ; but buyers limited their purchases a good deal to
immediate requirements.

At a meeting of the Edinbur,gh Town Council on
Tuesday, a letter was read from Professor Alison to the
effect that the state of his health compelled him to ask
to be relieved from the chair of Practical Medicine in
the University, and expressing his grateful sense of the
proposal made by Bailie Morrison to appoint him Eme-
ritus Professor, and to recommend the Senatus Acade-
micus to make him a retiring allowance. It was una-
nimously agreed to accept of Dr. Alison's resignation,
expressing their sympathy and regret on the occasion,
to appoint him Emeritus Professor, and to remit to the
College committee to bring the recommendation as to
the retiring allowance und,r the notice of the Senatus
Academicus. It was also agreed to fill up .the vacancy
in the cha'r of Medicine on the first Tuesday of October
—the vacancy to be advertised as is usual. In his letter
of resignation, Professor Alison says tat the attack of
his complaint by which he was confined to the house all
last week was the most severe of any he has auffered 1
during the lest eight years.
