have been in request ; middle and lower sorts dull, and
easier to buy. Hemps have been very quiet, and have fallen
from £2 to £3 per ton. The spinners continue to be full of
orders, and heavier numbers of line yarns have been stiffer
in price. Tow yarns remain as before. The demand for
threads is steady, There is a very brisk demand for all de-
scriptions of iron, and the makers are well supplied with
orders. The lock-out is not yet at an end, but a consider-
able addition has been made to the number of men at work,
and it is hoped that a full resumption of work is not far
off. A number of foreign workmen are now being employed
here. When the existing differences between masters
and men are arranged, there is a good prospect of the iron
trade in Leeds. The machine makers and engineer tool
trades are very busy. The makers of locomotive and rail-
way plant are fully employed. The cut-nail trade is good.
There has been a steady demand for nearly all descriptions
of leather. For sole purposes the principal inquiry has been
for butts and bends of thick substance, the supply of which
is short of the requirements of the trade. Light have con-
tinued in fair request. Dressing leather of light average
has met with ready sale, and calf skins, being scarce, have
sold on arrival at advanced rates, For offal of all kinds
there has been an active demand, and higher rates have been
obtained. During the past month the continental rape crop
has been secured, the quantity being very considerably less
than last year, and the quality only an average one. The
bulk has passed into second hands, and the lowest price has
probably been seen. The English crop is a failure. There
is not much doing in rape oil, owing to the season of the
year ; prices, however, are well maintained, The unusually
dry season has caused a most unprecedented demand for
linseed, which is eagerly bought up at full rates to meet the
great sale of linseed eakes,which have considerably advanced
in value; all the mills are actively employed. Olive oils
maintain their value, and a fair business has been trans-
acted. The shoe trade continues good, and all hands are
well employed. In the paper trade there is no material
change; it is, however, fully as good as it has been lately.
There has been a good supply of cattle, which the scarcity
of fodder has tended to increase. Number shown (five
markets)—Cattle, 2,472; sheep, 14,535. The supplies of
new wheat have been large, and there have been some fluc-
tuations in price, but there is at the close but little change.
Barley is in fair demand and firm. Oats are scarce, and
prices are about ld per stone dearer, Beans are selling at
full rates.

A curious circumstance relating to the capture of V)e
Adriatic is that most of the cargo was on British account,
and that the ship was uninsured for the first time during a
number of voyages.

NOTTINGHAM, 2d.—There was a moderate attendance on
'Change to-day. The demand for lace yarns was quiet, and
prices for low numbers tended downwards. For middle and
high numbers late prices were paid. The demand for hosiery
yarns was inactive, at very little change in prices. Late
rates were maintained for silks. For brown nets the demand
was flat at about recent quotations.

Burning of the Adriatic by the Tallahassee.

The New York papers publish the following ac■
count of the burning of the Adriatic by the Talla-
hassee, taken from the statements of the master
and mate of the destroyed vessel :

The Adriatic was a fine packet ship of 1,200 tons, the
principal owners being Messrs. E.:E. Morgan and Sons, of
70, South-street, New York ; one third, however, of the
vessel was owned by the captain, Captain Moore, the first
mate being I. F. Johnson. The Adriatic left London on
the 9th July, with a full cargo, carrying on board also 163
passengers, about one-thirti Irish, and the rest of various
nationalities. All went well, and the ship had a favourable
voyage until on nearing port on Friday morning, about
five a.m., the Tallahassee ran across her bow, hailed the
Adriatic, and ordered the captain to heave to, in obeying
which the pirate's mainmast was carried away,
The Tallahassee immediately sent a boat full of men—a
most ragged ragamuffin set, armed to the teeth with cut-
lasses and pistols, with orders to bring back the captain of
the Adriatic and hie papers. Captain Moore accordingly
went on board, and was at once informed by Taylor, the
commander of the pirate, that he intended to burn his ship.
Capt. Moore naturally expressed a hope that such a thing
would not be done, stated that he was part owner, and
wholly uninsured, and above all that the ship had above
200 passengers (emigrants) on board), and that such an act
would be most cruel and inhuman towards them.

Taylor replied, " I can't help that, captain. lam sorry
for you, but I can't help it. flutes a packet ship, and
precisely the sort of ship we want to burn, in order to bring
this war to an end by destroying your commerce, That's
an American vessel, and that's quite enough to determine
its destruction." Although Capt. Moore had his bills of
lading they were not even looked at, and he was informed
that he must return on board at once and prepare his pas-
sengers for removal. Seeing that all further expostulation
was useless, the captain returned and informed the passen-
gers of the state of affairs, and that they would be permitted
to take as much of their baggage with them as they could
carry in their hands.
This information was naturally received by the unfortu-
nate passengers with the utmost consternation, many of
them leaving in the luggage they had with them the savings
of a lifetime, and much of it of such a nature that it was
impossible to remove it in the short time allowed, the
women filling the air with their cries and piteous entreaties,
but all in vain. Meantime the newly-captured pilot-boat,
James Funk, had laid chase to and captured the barque
Suliote, Capt. Panno, from which it took bonds for 5,000 dols,
and ordered her to heave to and receive the passengers of
the Adriatic, having been induced to leave so quickly by a
promise that their luggage should be sent after them—a
promise it need not be said that was never meant to be ful-
filled.

Thesaptain was then ordered immediately to leave the
ship, which he refused to do unless compelled, the mate re-
maining with him; whereupon the boatswain of the Talla-
hassee, who is said to be a New York man, called on his
crew, who with loaded pistols forced the captain and mate
into the boat, and, having set fire to the ill-fated vessel,
steered for the Tallahassee. On arriving near the pirate the
captain and mate were refused admission on board, and,
being put into one of the Adriatic's boats, rowed back to the
burning ship to secure some provisions. The flames were
then coming out of the hatches and the forecastle, conse-
quently they were only able to secure two small bags of
bread, which they took on board the Suliote.
On reaching the Suliote, they found 200 people on board
a barque of 400 tons, deeply laden with coal, without any
accommodation for such a crowd, who had to remain on
deck, and with only one barrel of bread and three casks of
water. The Suliote then set sail for New York, while the
Tallahassee steamed off to the south east. The first night
was passed by the passengers on deck without any serious
discomfort, save such as arose from the excessive crowding
ots,m frigate Susque-
hnnand a scanty supply of food. In the morning of Saturday
a schooner was hailed, and a boat sent to beg a cask of
water, which, on the situation being explained, was gladly
furnished.
About
d to be in active pursuit of the pirate, was
discovered lying like a log on the water, She hailed the
Suliote, and inquired if she had the passengers or crew of
a:istul supposed
a.m. the United States
more than one burning ship on board. An answer being
returned, the captain and the pilot of pilotboat No. 24, which
had also been captured, were requested to go on board. On
being told of the course taken by the Tallahassee, the cap.
Lain of the Susquehanna declared his intention of making
for Bermuda, and, giving the pilot despatches for Admiral
Paulding, and Captain Moore four bags of biscuit for the
Suliote, steamed away, and left the barque to pursue her
course to New York.
Sandy hook was reached at last, and the Suliote anchored
off the bar about half-past nine. The rain which shortly
after commenced, and was so welcome to the country gene-
rally, to the poor passengers on board the Suliote proved
but an aggravation of their miseries. The accommodation
of the bark was limited to one cabin calculated to hold about
six persons, and when 30 women had been crammed into it
there still remained about 160 of the crew and passengers
exposed to the driving storm. Of course all were speedily
wet to the skin, and although an effort was made to con-
struct an awning to keep off the rain, it was attended with
little benefit, for the canvas, not being properly stretched,
retained the water, and, at last, was precipitated by its
weight on the heads of those beneath it, amid their shrieks
of terror at what they fancied were the waves circling
round them.

The men were at the pumps all night, the sea, calm as it
was, constantly washing the decks ; indeed, had the least
wind or swell prevailed, one half the people must have been
washed overboard. At last morning dawned, and a tug
coming down, the bark was taken down the bay, and an-
chored on Sunday morning about half a mile from the bat-
tery. It might have been supposed that when within hai of
New York the sufferings of those on board would at once be
brought to an end. This was not so, and to the disgrace of
Castle Garden it should be known that though Capt. Moore
made repeated application to the person in charge there,
stating with perfect truth that all the provisions were gone,
that the people were famishing, that the water was reduced
to one bucketful of muddy settlings for 200 persons, that the
children were almost dying of thirst, and that ho would
himself willingly pay the expenses of a steamer to land rho
passengers, he was coolly and deliberately told by the sub-
ordinates in charge that nothing could be done until to-
morrow, it was Sunday.
In pleasing contrast to this inhumanity was the conduct
of officers Nesbit and Sullivan, of the harbour police, who
showed every possible attention to the famishing people,
and, at considerable trouble and the expense of a ducking to
in the Suliote.
