HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-

sack at five o'clock.

BLOCKADE OF PORTS IN
THE BLACK SEA.

Lord LUCAN apperred for the first time in the
house this evening. His lordship entered into an ani-
mated conversation with the Earl of Clarendon and Lord
Lyndhurst. His lordship appeared in excellent health
and spirits.
DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
The Earl of CLA.RENDON rose amidst profound
silence, and said—My lords, I think it my duty
to inform your lorchhips of the contents of a
telegraphic despatch which I received half an hour ago
from her Majesty's Minister at the Hague :
"The Emperor of Russia died this morning between
12 and 1 o'clock, cf apoplexy, after an attack of influ-

( From a Supplement to the Gazette of last Night. )
FOREIGN-OFFICE, MARcai 3.

It is hereby notified that official information has been
received from Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8.,
commanding her Majesty's Naval Forces in the Black
Sea, dated her Majesty's ship Agamemnon, off Sebasto-
pol, Feb. 11, 1855, that from the Ist of Feb. last " the
mouth of the River Dniester, the ports of Akermanu, 0 vi-
diopol, Odessa, all the ports situated between Ochako♦
Point and Kinbourn Point, in cludingthelperts of Nicolaev
and Khcrson, the Rivers Bong and Dnieper; also the ports
between Kinbourn Point and Cape Tarkan, including
the ports in the Gulf of Perekop, the poet of Sebastopol,
the ports comprised between Cape Aia and the Strait of
Eertch, including those of Yalta, Alouslita, Souclak,
Kaffa, or Theodosia. The Port of Kerte!), the Strait of
Kett* the entrance to and all the ports in the Sea of
Azov, including especially the Ports of Bardiansk,
Taganrog, and Arabat ; the River Don, and also the
Ports of Auapa and Sonjak, were strictly blockaded by
a competent force of the Allied Fleets of France and
England.

enza."

I have also, my lords!, rsiceived a despatch from Berlin,
also informing me of the death of the Emperor of
Russia. An hour before this de.,pateh arrived, I
received- an account from Lord John Russell, who
is at Berlin, stating that the Empeivr of Russia
was at the point of death, and that he had already taken
leavo•of his family. I apprehend, said his lordship
ilthough this event occurred at so late a time as betwee:,
twelve and one this morning, there can be no doubt of
the authenticity of the information. Under these cir-
cumstances, as this unexpect.:d event must exercise
an important and immediate influence on the war,
and upon the negotiations for peace, and possibly
upon the policy of Russia, I think that my noble and
learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) will agree with me that
it might be attended with much inconvenience if he per-
severed in bringing forward his motion, of which he had
given notice. I therefore trust, upon public grounds,
that my noble friend will accede to the request which I
now make, namely, that he would postpone his motion.
Lord LYNDHURST—My lords, after the statement '
of my noble friend, I feel it is my duty not to proceed
with the motion of which I have given notice in reference
to our relations with Russia. But I beg to state that
I shall not withdraw it, but merely postpone it till a
future opportunity.

" That the Ports of Eupatoria, Etreltzka, Kamiesb,
Kazatch, and Balaklava were, and are, and will remain
ope❑ and free from all blockade untilfurther notice ; and
it is hereby further notified, that all treasures authorised
by the law of nations, and the resjective treaties be-
tween her Majesty the Queen of Grent Britain and Ire-
land and his Imperial M4jesty th. Emperor of the
French, and the different Neutral Powers, will be
adopted and executed with respect to all vessels which
may attempt to viul.to he said blockade."

STATE OF TRADE.
( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, March 2.—ln some departments of our
market there appears to be rather more inquiry than
there was last week. But there ilas been an uneasy
feeling in the market throughout the week, arising very
much from recent and contemporaneous failures, al-
though these have been of comparative:y small magnitude.
This feeling has contributed to increase, in some degree,
the general depression ; and the saleseffected have been,
as a rule, fully as low in their terms in the present as
they were in the previous week. •
NOTTINGHAM, March I.—Lace business slightly more
buoyant, by means of small purchases. The hosiery
trade is somewhat better off, and still kot above half the
business of an ordinary season is doing ; here also the
operations are confined to small purc'iasers, who are en-
tering the market in considerable numbers, animated by
the reviving spring.
LEICESTER, March I.—Business is 6qually flat in every
department of our manufacture, as noticed last week.
Yarns and wools remain without animation.
