STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July lg.—The steadiness of the Liver-
pool cott in market induces manufactures an,l spinners
to ask fuller prices, but whenever there is much firmness
it has a tendency to restrict business. There is a mode-
rate demand for America, and shippers in the India
trade have also been operating rather more liberally
than of late. The aggregate business, however, has
been but moderate in amount, :Ind prices are not well
supported.
NOTTINGHAM, July I.9.—The lace trade has been dull
this week, with the exception of a few branches, which
have throughout the season been brisk. The trade gene-
rally, however, is considered very quiet.
In the hosiery department there has not been much
done ; a few orners have, however, been received.
Yarns and materials continue firm.

Messrs. 0 verend, Gurney, and Co. gave noticeyesterday
that they have reduced their rate for money at call from
2i per cent. to 2i. This step, immediately following
the ann'unceruent regarding the interest on India
Bonds, has tended to increase the feeling of ease in the
money market, and the supply is abundant both out of
doors and in the Stock-Exchange. The present appear-
ance of the continental exchanges, however, seem to in-
dicate that some increase of demand is likely soon to be
manifested, although perhaps only for a short period.
The absorption of money consequent upon the payment
of 10 per cent. on the English applications for the new
French loan on Thursday nest must also be expected to
cause a partial pressure.

ston Adminisivitiont when their conduct was censured and
their ability impugned, ventured only to beg the Legislature
not to pronounce any opinion on the subject—and that the
Legislature has granted their petition.
Strenuous • efforts were made by succeeding apologists for
the Government to rally the decaying allegiance of the Liberal
party, by reiterated assertions that the success of the pending
vote would bring in the Opposition. Upon the House, as
the result has shown, the argument may have told with some
effect, aided no doubt by the persuasion that if Lord Derby
came in ho would immediately dissolve Parliament. Honour-
able members who dreaded to face their constituents con-
sented to swell the Ministerial majority against their own
convictions. The step has but a little postponed the day of
reckoning. To the country the alternative thus presented
has no terrors. The motive that suggested such timid vacil-
lation to their representatives will be understood and remem-
bered.

Lord Palmerston, it is acknowledged, has not fulfilled the
expectations of the country, or shown even the wish to can-
cel by better conduct the sentence heretofore pronounced
against him. The censure expressed by Mr. Roebuck does
not therefore refer to a bygone offence. It imports that the
Primo Minister by his recent behaviour had not deserved the
continuance of the immunity he had so long enjoyed.

IMPERIAL PAHL! AME NT.

HOUSE _OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the wool-
sack at five o'clock.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY presented several
petitions against Church-rates,
THIRD READINGS.
On the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following
bills were read a third time and passed, viz. :—Halford's
Estate; Royal Medical Benevolent College; Londonderry
and Coleraine Railway ; Cavendish Bridge and Hulland
Ward Road ; East Kent Railway (Extension to Dover);
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway (Im-
provement and Branches) ; South Staffordshire Railway
(Amendments) ; and Dearness Valley Railway (Amend-
ments).
The Earl of ALBEMARLE gave notice of a mo-
tion, for which ho should not fix a day at
present. It was his. intention to call the attention
of the house to the trade transacted in Russian
products under an order in council of the 15th of April,
1854 ; also to bring under the attention of the house the
effect such sanction may have had upon sustaining the
finances of the enemy, and of affording him thereby
the means of prolonging the present war, He wished
to give her Majesty's Government due notice, that they
might have an opportunity of taking prompt steps to
remedy the evil complained of, and of rendering
it unnecessary for him to pursue a course which would
have the effect of causing a separation between himself
and the political party with which he usually acted. He
would again endeavour to persuade her Majesty's Mi-
nisters that in making the motion he did not contem-
plate any departure from the spirit of that
portion of the Act of the' order in council' of
1854, which relates to neutral flags, nor did he
contemplate any violation of the law in respect to
neutral countries. The noble earl then read extracts
from the letters of a gentleman connected with the over-
land trade between this country and Russia, and who
had hioasslf extensive dealings in that country. Those
extracts showed to what a system this overland trade had
been reduced, and that so long as it was continued our
sea blockade would be rendered wholly inoperative. For
obvious reasons, it would not be prudent in him to mention
the name of the writer of these letters in public, but ber
Majesty's Ministers were fully aware of the name, and
he should be happy to communicate it in private to any
noble lord who wished to ascertain it.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp

Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-

War, the Latest Sporting, and all other

being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still bo made to those in remote places
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.

As we yesterday stated, " the undetected mem-
bers of the Cabinet" will he quite contented to
tide over the present session in any possible man-
ner, and to endure the largest amount of censure
provided they be permitted to retain power,
patronage, and pay, and to direct matters as they
think proper during the recess, uncontrolled by
Vile votes or legitimate remonstrances of either
branch of the Legislature. While they are satisfied
to linger on an undignified existence, the so-called
representatives of the English people, of all
classes and parties, are, with a few honourable
exceptions, willing to connive at this discredi-
table, this humiliating policy, for the purpose of
avoiding the "appeal to the country" which,
as has ostentatiously been announced, must in-
evitally follow a decisive Ministerial defeat. Mt-
nis'ters ask for a continuance in office on any
terms. Members of Parliament are willing to
grant it, not because it is for the national bene-
fit that Sir GEORGE GREY, Sir GEORGE CORNEWALL
LEWTS, and Sir CHARLES WOOD should retain
their situations, but that they are desirous that
the magic initials M.P. should remain attached
to their respective names, and that they should
Ia spared the trouble, vexation, and expense that
must necessarily attend a contested election.
Fience, the proceedings in Parliament for the last
'few weeks may be regarded as a series of com-
promises not very creditable to the parties
concerned, and still less satisfactory to the
country, as mere temporary armistices, neither
honourable nor beneficial to the political bellige-

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
tood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled:

It is absolutely necessary that all man should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
tte heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, Who inflict great injury on those who aro induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

THE BALTIC.

season for active operations in the Baltic Sea is of
short duration ; it is now far advanced, and will
rapidly glide away. Up to the present date nothing
else than the annihilation of the maritime commerce
of the enemy has been accomplished, and it is very
probable that the fleet will again return to England
without having effected the all-important object
—that of greatly diminishing, if not of effectually
crushing, the power of Russia in her northern terri-
tories. The mortar vessels which have recently ar-
rived in the Baltic are unquestionably valuable re-
riforcements, but their numbers must be consider-
ably augmented ere they can be productive of any
important results. They may harass and annoy the
foo by throwing shells into Cronstadt and Helsing-
fors, but are quite inadequate, from their present
limited number, to destroy the large batteries and
earthworks by which these strongholds are de-
fnided, to effect the downfall of which a flotilla
comprising 100 gunboats, 50 mortar-vessels, and as
many floating batteries, constructed on sound
principles, are necessary. The great advantage of
a large force of these vessels of war was wauifest

NOTIONS ABOUT NOTTINGHAM.

The di-appointment which turfifes experienced at Stam-
ford will be somewhat counterbalanced at Nottingham,
where Mr. Brad field, as usual, has prepared an attractive
programme. Seven races are appointed for to-morrow, and
six for Friday, and there is a prospect of at least a satis
factory supply of sport. For the Nottinghamshire Han,
dicap, Hungerford, Typee, Domino, Braxey, and
Neoptolemus have been backed. The first mentioned
will, it is reported, run, in order to convince his prrty
that he is in good form, and that no mistake was made
with reference to his trial with Baroncino. His per-
formance, therefore, will be regarded with double inte-
rest. That he will obtain a forward position in the
race, I am fully prepared to expect. Ty pee
is weighted at 2lbs. lighter, and should she not
run a severe race at Stamford to-day I shall deem her
capable of defeating old Hungerford. She has been over
this course before, and proofs have frequently been af-
forded of her staying qualities. In consideration of his
successful performance at Worcester, and his running at
Liverpool, Domino is much fancied for this event. lam
'not, however, one of his partisans, and shall expect to
see Braxey beat him. Neoptolemus will have the benefit
of little Fordbam's services, and, although his weight
will perhaps be raised two or three pounds, I am not
inclined to regard that circumstance as being prejudicial
to his chance. He is a great tearing horse, and requires
no little strength to bold him. The advantage of having
Fordham "up " cannot therefore be over-rated. Those
who saw the race for the Northumberland Plate pro-
test, despite the judge's decision, that Neoptolemus was
third for that event, beating Courtenay by a clear length.
Be that as it may, Courtenay defeated him easily enough
next day, Neoptolemus, however, at the same time beating
Lady Tatton. The other noteworthy names in the list of
acceptances are Arribas, St. Clare, and Rotherham,
John Osborne is in luck, and he may, if the horse be fit,
have a trial with Arribas, who is certainly not over-
penalised. St. Clare is too hot-tempered to be trusted ;
and Rotherham has incurred a penalty, and may there-
fore be reserved for some other event—perhaps the Ebor
Handicap, for which he is favourably weighted. Calcu-
lating upon a start, I shall " stand on"

Thus, on Sir E. 13. LYTTON'S motion, the Mini-
ster directly aimed at was deliberately thrown
overboard. The waiters on PROVIDENCE DaUtl-
.nied. They could not defend their quondam
leader ; and, as the resolution was in its terms
aimed at him the sacrifice was accepted, although
the remaining Members of the Cabinet, with few
exceptions, came, if not within, the letter, cer-
tainly within the spirit, of the proposition. In
`this case, also, we believe that it was the crew
that mutinied, and would not meet the danger,
which, if we may judge from the effective
speeches of Sir E. B. LYTTON and Mr. DISRAELI,
their leaders were willing to encounter. A con-
tested election was apparently as greatly dreaded

TYPEE AND NEOPTOLEMUS.

Should a cockboat be required to carry me into the
haven of success, I shall place my hopes in Hungerford.

Bold Buccleuch will perhaps win the Robin Hood
Stakes. In his absence I shall pay court to Tilly. For
the Sher wood Handicap I shall select Georgey and
Georgium Sidus. The Castle Plate Handicap may be
placed on the winning score of either lanthe or Corin.
Should Rotherham be brought out for the Chesterfield
Handicap he will perhaps do battle for it successfully.
At present, however, my fancy points to Orson and
Herald.

Flyaway, despite her extra weight, ought to win the
Burney 'Park Stakes. In her default Gamester may
throw in.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
lequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery In Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, auy
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of leaving hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled:
It is absolutely necessary that all mon should know, that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functionte
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
been too generally confided to the eue of ignorant
practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
great injury on those who are induced to plac,

THE BALTIC.

A letter dated Cronstadt, July 9, says :—" The
season for active operations in the Baltic Sea is of
short duration ; it is now far advanced, and will
rapidly glide away. Up to the present date nothing
else than the annihilation of the maritime commerce
of the enemy has been accomplished, and it is very
probable that the fleet will again return to England
without having effected the all-important object
—that of greatly diminishing, if not of effectually
crushing, the power of Russia in her northern terri-
tories. i
ries. The mortar vessels which have recently ar-
rved n the Baltic are unquestionably valuable re-
inforcements, but their numbers must be consider-
ably augmented ere they can be productive of any
important results. They may harass and annoy the
foe by throwing shells into Cronstadt and Helsing-
fors, but are quite inadequate, from their present
limited number, to destroy the large batteries and
earthworks by which these strongholds are de-
fended,, to effect the downfall of which a flotilla
comprising 100 gunboats, 50 mortar-vessels, and as
many floating batteries, constructed on sound
principles, are necessary. The great advantage of
a large force of these vessels of war was manifest
