STATE of TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Aug. 16.—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
dissal,:fied that the speculative feeling at Liverpool
should step in to deprive them of the prospects they had
of an improved business fur India, which any attempt at
improVed prices amounts to, seeing that the recent ad-
vices, while speaking of large sales at Calcutta, report
tblt the are att,ended.with a depression in value. The
offer making this morning to Rollers 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 conce,le
it ; but buyers limited their purchases a good deal to
immediate requireurn

At a meeting of the Elinhurgh Town Council on
Tuesday, a letter was read from Professor Alison to the
effect that the state of his health compelkd 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
conitnitt2o ri,,g the rec.mmentlatioo
I:Alring allowance mid r the notice of the &maims
It wag also agreed to rill up the vr"'aneY
in the char of 111,clicine on the fir-t Tuesday of 0 toper
—,tha vacancy to he adV,rtipeal as is usual In his letter
of resignation, Prole!, ,r Alison says that the attack of
his complaint by which he was confined to the house all
last week was the most severe of any he has suffered
during the lad eight years,
