STATE OF TRADE.

(From; the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Sept. 12.—The intelligence from Lon-
don ye,terday that the Bank of England bad not fur-
ther advanced their rates of discount, afforded some re-
lief ; but the market is still very dull ; and whilst
buyers evince an unwillingness to come under engage-
ment, sellers are beginning, in some cases, to feel
the want of money, and rather pressing for sales.
Long cloths, I' cloths, and domestics, though less de-
pressed than shirtinge, are lower in price, with much
irregularity. Printing cloths have withstood the influ-
ences affecting the market better than any other fabrics;
but have not escaped without some depreciations in
value. Yarns, generally, are dull of sale; but warps
and cops have been more pressed on the market than
other kinds of twist, and have, consequently, suffered
most in price.
LEEDS, Oct. 12.—Considering the unsettled state of
the money market, and other disturbing causes, which
are at present exercising considerable influence on.corn-
rnercial affairs, there is quite as much business doing in
the woollen cloth trade as can reasonably be expected
During the current week, there has only been a mode-
rate attendance of buyers in the town, and the business
done has been of a quiet character, and principally in
goods suitable for the winter trade.
%HALIFAX, Oct. 12.—The wool market has ruled
slacker this week, and prices incline in favour of the
buyers.

BARNSLEY.—We are glad to have to state that the
fancy trade for the foreign roarket still continues to im-
prove. More bands are set on every day by the houses
engaged in the manufacture of these fabrics.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Coleridge.)
Upon the prisoners Davidson and Gordon being
placed at the bar, the proceedings were resumed.by
Mr. Montague Chambers, wha, after complaining of
the unfair position a portion of the press had taken
in making ooruments upon the charge while the ver-
dict of the jury was pending, proceeded to argue that
the whole transaction, although it might be reck-
less trading was not a fraudulent transaction of a
penal character.

His lordship having summed up,
The jury retired, and after being absent a few minutes,
found the prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced to
two years' imprisonment, with hard labour.

COULT OF COMMON COUNt IL.

YeAerda,y a court was held for the despatch of public
business.

TILE LATE VISIT OP TUE ICING OP SARDINIA.
Upon the motion of Mr. T. Parker, the address of
the corporation to the King of Sardinia, and the answer
of his Majesty thereto was ordered to be entered upon
the minutes of the court.
- THU COIDION SERGEANT.

A somewhat lengthened discussion took place upon a
report of the officers and clerks committee, recommend-
ing that on the resignation of the
.Common Sergeant he
should be allowed a retiring pen:oon of 1,000/. per an-
num. The Recorder had received a communication
from the Common Sergeant, which was a formal resig-
nation of his office, but he seemed unwilling to hand it
to the Lord Mayor until the question of the learned ser-
jeant's retiring allowance was settled. Mr. H. L. Taylor
asked the Recorder whether, if the court did not agree
to the report, he would put in the resignation or not. It
was decided, however, on a division, that the Recorder
need not answer this question. Mr. H. L. Taylor then
moved as an amendment that the Common Sergeant NI
called upon to resign his office before the court take into
consideration the subject of his retiring allowance. The
amendment was seconded by Mr. Barkly, and further
supported by Messrs. ROBS and Gresham. Alderman
Farebrother and Wire, and Messrs. Lott, Blake, Dakin,
kc., supported the original resolution, which, on a divi•
sion, was carried by 59 against 38. The report was
then agreed to.
The Recorder, immediately after the court adopted
the report of the committee, handed to the Lord Mayor
the resignation of the Common Sergeant, which was read,
and ordered to be entered on the journals of the court.
THE BATHS AND WASH•HOUSES IN GOULSTON-SQUARE.
Mr. TOWSE (the chairman of the coal, corn, and
finance committee) brought up, and moved the adoption
of, a report from the members of the committee to whom
had been referred various petitions on the subject of
the baths and wash houses in Goulston-square. The re.
port stated that the court ought not to lose so favour-
able an opportunity cf commencing a good work at a
moderate outlay as was presented in the offer by the
present proprietors of the baths and wash-houses to dis-
pose of the same to the corporation for 11,5001. Their

RUSSIA.

The Ryall(l6 Russe publishes tho following :

" Aide-de-Camp-General Prince Gortscbakoff has for-
warded the following, under date of the 28th November
(10th December) :
"Everything goes on satisfactorily in the Crimea.
"On the 26th of November (Bth of December), Col.
Oklobijo, with a small portion of the detachment of the
Upper B,lbek, crossed the mountain-pass which gives
access to the valley of Baidar, attacked the advanced
posts of the enemy at Ourkousta and at Baga, and,
having dislodged thorn from those villages, threw them
back upon the Tohernays.
"20 prisoners remained in our hands."
A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, says :
—" The two divisions of grenadiers in the Crimea
are not comprised in the corps d'arinee charged to
defend the plateau of Bakshi-Serai. They are
posted in the rear of that corps on the side of
Eupatoria, and aro charged to protect the Perekop
road. In addition to the grenadiers, who consist
of 3 regiments, there are 4 regiments of infantry,
4of druschines, and 2 brigades of artillery. Let-
ters from Simpheropel state that up to the end of
October, the Russians seriously feared that they
would bo obliged to evacuate that town, if the
enemy had advanced from Eupatoria. During the
last few weeks the military journal has published
on different occasions judgments of courts-martial,
degrading officers for embezzlement committed in
the exercise of their functions. It is reported
that much fermentation exists amongst the
peasants of Southern Russia, and that the Em-
peror visited their countries partly to prevent the
disturbance of order. The Emperor has seen, it is
said, that the emancipation of the peasantry is in-
evitable. Alexander I. bad already improved the
position of the peasants of the Drown, and had ope-
rated a species of emancipation, but he was not
imitated by the nobility. Another consequence
of the Emperor's juui.ey will be the completion
of the fortresses in the Southern Provinces.
Emperor Nicholas had spent many millions on
them, but the money only served to enrich the
contractors, who constructed sham-forts. Tho
brother of the Emperor is a good engineer, who
examines everything himself, and will not be easily
deceived.'

The whole object of " Mercator's" letter is to divert
the attention of the public from practical truths to abstract
theories, which he well knows are always more difficult of
refutation. We do not intend to be withdrawn from the
course we have marked out by any such artifices, how-
ever skilfully the temptation may be presented to us.
We shall be perfectly satisfied in tying down " Mercator"
to his "promise to pay," if that is the basis upon which
he would raise his superstructure of paper currency ;
bat let us have no shutting about it—let us have the
security equal to the promise, and if that cannot be ful-
filled it is high time that we should set about the die-
covery of a more rational system;

AN EXPRESS TRAIN OFF TRH RAILS.—The morning
express train from Hull to Manchester, on Wednesday,
on arriving at a place between Woodhead and Torside,
near the Manchester corporation reservoirs, was thrown
entirely off the rails by coming in contact with the end
of a rail which had apparently been broken and displaced
by a preceding train. The driver was running the train
at a speed of about 30 miles per hour, and raw the rail
pointing up in front of him, but was unable to stop in
time to avoid the consequences. Fortunately none of
_
the passengers were seriously hurt ; and they were all
soon afterwards conveyed to Afanchester by a traia o
carriages forwarded from thence.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts was very moderate for
the time of year, the beef trade was in a moat depressed
state, and prices were fully 4d per Sibs lower than on
Monday. The show of sheep was trifling, but more than
equal to the demand; indeed so little was doing that the
quotations were almost nominal. As regard calves there
was no sale for them, and prices were very uncertain.
Pigs sold heavily at late rates.
Mulch cows were very dull, at from HI. to 191. each,

CORN EXCHANGE.

?ince Monday the receipts of English wheat, coastwise
and by land carriage, have been very moderate, and the
supply of that grain fresh up to-day front Essex and Kent
was small. Although the show of samples was limited all
kinds of wheat of home produce moved off slowly, but
without leading to any change in the quotations.
Over 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to han I
this week. That artiale was excessively dull iu sale, and
almost nominal in price.
Floating cargoes were much neglected.
Fine barley was held at Monday's currency, but other
kinds were dull and rather drooping.
We had a slow sale for malt at late rates.
The oat trade was very dull at barely Monday's prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were almost nominal.
