COLONIAL.

TEA.—The news from China has had no effect, there
being buyers of common Congou at Bid, and sellers id
above that rate.
SUGAR.—There has been but little passing in either
home or foreign parcels, but holders are firm and obtain
full rates for what they sell. The lower kinds of colonial
are wanted, but in better sorts there is not much doing.
Refined is firm, with an increasing home trade inquiry,
and brown lumps cannot be obtained under 46s 6d per cwt.
There were landed la,t week at the East and West India
Docks 2,776 hhds, 210 tee, 863 lbs ; there were taken for
home use 21,014 bhds, 210 tee, and 664 bls.
CorrEE.—Native Ceylon has been in much request,
good ord at 48s per cwt on the spot, and 47s 6d to arrive.
Plantation has sold at fuller prices. Mocha has still an
upward tendency.
RlCE.—Thero is a fair demand for cargoes of American
afloat at 12s 3d to 12s 6d per cwt, but with few sellers at
these rates.
SALTPETRE. —Good Bengal 5i per cent. has been sold at
30s 6d per cwt.
TALLOW.—The market has been quiet. P.Y,C, at 52s

the has'ness of E. MOSES and SON for many years, and the best

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA,'J une 29.—The Fremdenblatt states from
the Crimea that Prince Gortschakoff has sent for
24,000 men more, and that he has reinforced Gene-
ral Liprandi's corps with another division.
The Presse of yesterday contains an interesting
article severely criticising the policy of the allies in
obstinately continuing the war, and states that their
cause can nojonger be expected to excite any sym-
pathy in AuAria. Austria was willing to go hand
in hand with them, and it was her earnest desire so
to do, but now that they have passed the line which
she deemed right, and have rejected the propositions
which she made, she can no longer consent to give
her support to their cause, which seems to savour
of ambitious designs.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 1855.

The House of Commons has promptly and libe-
rally responded to the Royal Message respecting
the family of the late Lord RAGLAN. A resolu-
tion was last night unanimously carried, granting
a pension of 1,0001. per annum to the widow of
the deceased Field-Marshal, and 2,0001. per
annum to his son and successor in the peerage
and the next surviving heir male of that son. We
do not oomplain of the grant to the widow, or
that to the son of the deceased veteran, but we
certainly think to the next heir male of RICHARD
HENItY Lord RAGLAN is carrying the matter a little
too far. 'luny
alas, too many—highly
meri-
torious ()Meer%
when face to have perished by disease, or fell
face with the foe, but, with the ex-
ception of a scanty and
penurious pension doled
out to their widows'
and a paltry gratuity, we
cannot call it a provision' for their children, until
their sons shall attain t

Not eizit the purchase money ex

which they were entitled by the rank

of the deceased husbands and fathers.
No, it is
only on those of high blood and aristocratical eon
nexioni that such favours are bestowed. Tii„
brave subaltern, even the distinguished field
officer, will obtain no such recognition of his ser-
vices ! It is obvious, therefore, that the pension
to the heir male of RICHARD HENRY LORD
RAGLAN is an offering rather to the dignity of the,
Peerage than to the distinguished services of the
lamented Commander-in-Chief.

We are quite aware that there ie ample pre-
cedent for the grant. But we live in a reforming

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 3.
There have been some fair orders offering in yarns,
and where 'spinners have been willing lo make a liberal
concession in price—a concession corresponding with the
decline which has again taken place in the raw material—
contracts have been secured to a fair amount. Many of
our spinners have entirely refused to take the rates
offering, and, as may be supposed in a market much in-
fluenced by recent fluctuations in the raw material, there
is much irregularity. The inquiry has come from buyers
connected with most of the foreign markets, including
Greek, continental, and Indian markets, as well as from
manufacturers at home, and probably a more general
yielding of spinners to the offers made would have led to
arather considerable aggregate business.
In the cloth market there would probably have been
more business but for the disturbance of confidence by
the attempt to rally .the cotton-market at the close of
lait week. A good many offers have been made, but at
rates which manufacturers have been unwilling to take,
and the consequence has been a very limited business.
Where sales have been effected they have been made at
a reduction.

Messrs. John Slagg and Co.'s cloth-market report :•—•
" During the early part of last week a fair amount of
business was done in India goods at the prices quoted
in our report of Thesday last ; but, owing to the at-
tempted revival of the speculative movement in cotton,
an advance was generally asked by manufacturers, which
immediately checked business, and for the last three or
four days there has been little or nothing done in them.
In the meantime the overland mail has arrived, and, as
the accounts it brings are not considered satisfactory, it
would be difficult to induce buyers for that quarter to
operate at the prices of Tuesday last. In other descrip-
criptions there is no change to notice."
Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., say :
" We have again a dull --
market to-day, for the little
excitement which followed the renewed speculation in
the Liverpool cotton market bas with it entirely sub-
sided. The prices of this day week would in all cases
be 'submitted to, and still lower rates in NOM instances."

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, July 3.
There have been some fair orders offering in yarns,
and where spinners have been willing 10 make a liberal
concession in price—a concession corresponding with the
decline which has agaia taken place in the raw material—
contracts have been secured to a fair amount. Many of
our spinners have entirely refused to take the rates
offering, and, as may be supposed in a market much in-
fluenced by recent fluctuations in the raw material, there
is much irregularity. The inquiry has come from buyers
connected with most of the foreign markets, including
Greek, continental, and Indian markets, as well as from
manufacturers at home, and probably a more general
yielding of spinners to the offers made would have led to
a rather considerable aggregate business,
In the cloth market there would probably have been
more business but for the disturbance of confidence by
the attempt to rally the cotton-market at the close of
lait week. A. good many offers have been made, but at
rates which manufacturers have been unwilling to take,
and the consequence has been a very limited business.
Where sales have been effected they have been male at
a reduction.

Messrs. John Slagg and Co.'s cloth-market report :
" During the early part of last week a fair amount of
business was done in India goods at the prices quoted
in our report of Tuesday last ; but, owing to the at-
tempted revival of the speculative movement in cotton,
an advance was generally asked by manufacturers, which
immediately checked business, and for the last three or
four days there has been little or nothing done in them.
In the meantime the overland mail has arrived, and, as
the accounts it brings are not considered satisfactory, it
would be difficult to induce buyers for that quarter to
operate at the prices of Tuesday last. In other descrip-
criptions there is no change to notice."
Ale.sre. George, Fraser, Snn, and Co., say
"We have again a dud market to-day, fur the little
excitement which followed the renewed speculation in.
the Liverpool cotton market bas with it entirely sub-
sided. The prices of this day week would in all casea
ire Bubmitted to, and still lower rates in some instances."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA,'June 29.—The Frerndenblatt states front
the Crimea that Prince Gortschakoff has sent for
24,000 men more, and that he has reinforced Gene-
ral Liprandi's corps with another division.
The Presse of yesterday contains an interesting
article severely criticising the policy of the allies in
obstinately continuing the war, and states that their
cause can no longer be expected to excite any sym-
pathy in Austria. Austria was willing to go hand
in hand with them, and it was her earnest desire so
to do, but now that they have passed the line which
she deemed right, and have rejected the propositions
which she made, she can no longer consent to give
her support to their cause, which seems to savour
of ambitious designs.
The French ambassador, M. de Thouvenel, has
arrived here ; after a stay of a few days he will
continue his journey to Constantinople.

The tone of the recent mercantile advices from St.
Petersburg is not favourable to the prospect of an early
peace. This alteration is believed to be attributable to a
secret understanding with Austria, which lias given Rus-
sia more confidence in contending with the We:tern
Powers, and in the possible success of her constant in-
trigues to break up their alliance. The recent announce•
went from Russia that the Synod had addressed the Em-
peror in favour of peace is said to have been merely a
stratagem to cover the more aggressive views which had
just then received a new stimulus from the covert intima-
tion of active sympathy from Austria and Prussia, that
sympathy being, it is alleged, in course of exercise at
this moment by the transmission through German terri-
tory of large supplies of materials contraband of war.
PORTUGAL.—Liverpool, July 3.—The Minho steamer

steamer had arrived out from Liverpool on the same day.
It was expected the Tagus would leave on the 29th with
the mails for Southampton, although she had not re-
turned from the south when the Minho left. The Cintra
Railroad contract had been approved by the deputies,
also the bill to authorise the Government to continue
the admission of grain as it might judge prudent. The
harvest in general promised to be good in Portugal. The
Government and its majority in the Deputies had come
