AN HISTORICAL TALE.
" she roystering habits of the Merry Monarch, his adventurous
escapades with his reckless associates, and the plots and counter-
plots which existed during the whole of his reign have rarely been
more agreeably adapted than in this interesting tale. The highest
personages of the times play a prominent part in it. They are In-
troducel with judgment, and whilst the incidents are frequent and
striking, they are invariably within the limits of historical facts."—

THE SHARE MARKETS

Cape to her Majesty, praying her to refuse her assent to
ordinances passed by the reconstructed Legislative
Council previously to proceeding with their new consti-
tution; and whether ho will lay copies of all such ordi-
nances immediately before this House?
Mr. FREDERICK PEEL said one petition, signed
by two persons, had been received praying her Majesty
not to give her sanction to any ordinances until the new
constitution bad been put in force. With respect to the
second question there would be no objection to lay
copies of the ordinances before the House.
Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know whether the persons
who signed that petition did so as chairman and secre-
tary of a public meeting?
Mr. F. PEEL believed one of the gentlemen was
chairman of the Cape Town meeting.

Mr. FITZROY wished to know whether any inten-
tion was entertained by the Government of carrying
this Act into effect?
Sir GEORGE GREY—There is no doubt such an in-
tention on the part of the Government, but no positive
answer could be given. The object was to give some
substantial benefit to the community until an Act should
be passed for relieving the working classes from any
doubt.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—By the Cambria we learn
the effect, in the New York market, of the excess of
44,000 over the estimated stock et Liverpool on the 31st
December. No surprise was excited, and cotton receded
only ie. per lb. Through the failure of the southern
meals, we are again deprived of the list of receipts, S.;c.
It appears, however, from Mr. W. P. Wright's
circular, given below, that according to telegraphic
information to New York, the receipts at the ports for
the week were 110,000 bales against 85,000 last year,
and the exports to Great Britain 55,000 against 32,000.
By the overland mail we are advised of a healthy
state of
inthe
.Bombay market, and a fair extent of
business . piece goods, yet without any improve-
ment in prices., which were kept in check by the
continued. anxiety to sell evinced by holders For
mule twist there was a fair demand at slihtl im-
proved rates, for 30's to 60's. In water twist there was
no change. Exchange had been 2s. 1 15-16 d. to 2s. 2d. but
declined to 2s. qd. But from Calcutta the accounts are
still exceedingly unsatisfactory. Although imports had
not been heavy, the stocks on hand were so ex-
cessive as to keep down the prices of goods
at the very lowest point ; and the whole tone
of the market was extremely depressed. In yarns
there was a giving way in 30's, 40'e, 50'8, 60's, 70's,
and 100's. Money matters remained as unsatisfactory as
_ever, with great distrust extending beyond the bazaar,
precluding advances from the bank an almost any terms.
It is stated in some of the letter~
newspapers, that another considerable native banker
had suspended payment. Exchange was at 2s. 24d. first-
class credits, and 2s. 2d. for document bills. These ac-
counts have somewhat modified the stimulus given to
our market last week by the American advices. The tone
of business has been quieter, and, in general, the extreme
rates demanded but not obtained for yarns, on Saturday,
have undergone some abatement. Such prices as were
obtainable last week and the week before, have, however,
been paid to-day for most descriptions, and the day's
business is of fair extent. Indeed, such is the demand
for 16's to 24's water in the bundle, for 24's warps,
and for extra hard-twisted yarn for the Mediter-
ranean, that the fullest prices of last week are paid.
The advance in 40's mule is entirely sustained. Cops are
steady at the values of this day week. The Bombay
accounts have led to some operations in the lower quali-
ties of 40-inch shirtings, in addition to those which took
place last week, and the very low prices then accepted
are now beginning to be declined by sellers. In other
goods there is no change of price. They remain quiet.
Altogether, we have had a better market than was ex-
pected at the commencement of the day.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The flannel market continues
dull and languid, with little or no variation in prices. In
wool there is no change from the previous week, and the
manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The preparations we
have noticed for some weeks past for the spring tracehave been further developed; but as yet it is chiefly
on speculation, as the manufaturers generally are
complaining of the small amount of business doing. The
Americans, who usually operate pretty freely about this
period of the year, are doing comparatively little at pre-
son t; but more orders from that quarter are looked for. The.
strike amongst the weavers, noticed in our last, ended in
their returning to work on the same terms as they
came out. Thrown Silks—There is fair inquiry for
fine China and Bengal throwns; but the prices offered
are such that the trade cannot replace stocks from
present prices of raw material; hence we have bat few
transactions to report. Throwsters, however, are well
supplied with work at present. Raw Silks—The market
continues exceedingly firm; but there are less
opera-
tions the last few days—doubtles, the approaching public
sales exercise some influence.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been a flat market
to-day in our Piece Hall; and scarcely anything has
been done, either in plain or fancy goods. The yarn
market is dull. The spinners are working up the orders
on hand; and the merchants are shy of giving out new
ones. Wool is inactive, without any change in the
quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--WO have had a pretty
fair attendance at the Cloth Hall to-day. Amongst
woollen goods, crapes have been inquired after, and
qualities at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. 6d. and as high as 4s.
have found purchasers. The fancy trade is at present
very dull. There has been more inquiry for wools
especially for Port Philip, at from 17RI. to 19P.
