MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, was li-
mited ; nevertheless, it was fully equal to the demand. The
few buyers in attendance purchased only for immediate
wants, at prices barely equal to those paid on Monday. For
forward delivery next to nothing was doing. The import
of foreign Wheat has amounted to 4,120 quarters, Selected
qualities were held firmly, at full quotations; but the value
of other kinds was almost nominal. We had a moderate
sale for Barley, at late currencies. The show of English was
unusually small. The Malt trade was very dull. Oats—the
show of which was by no means extensive—moved off
slowly, but no further decline took place in the quotations.
Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Indian Corn
and Flour met a very slow inquiry.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The Canada's advices of the
26th ult. from New York, apprise us of a further rise of IA
to IA c. per lb. in the price of cotton at all the ports of the
Union, although the total receipts were 2,820,205 bales
against 2,169,342 last year, while the accounts of the grow-
ing crop continued highly favourable. These accounts have
in some degree strengthened the upward tendency which the
market had. previously manifested. In the great bulk of
mule and water yarns, from No. 40's or 50's downward,
the market is rather dearer than before; for, if the
spinners are not requiring an advance, they at
least abide firmly by their quotations, and to the extent of
the business effected, those quotations are realised, This is
practically a gain of about %d. per lb., so far as the transac-
tions go : and, in some instances, this is carried beyond the
realisation of prices previously required to a demand for an
additional But business is restricted by this require-
ment. The buyers distrust the continuance of a rise in
America, which is merely a consequence of improved ac-
counts from Liverpool, and which is outstripping the up-
ward course on this side. They therefore hold back from
business, and the transactions of the day are of no great
amount. It is evident, however, that, at the previous rates,
the home consumers of yarns would have supplied them-
selves to a fair extent, as would also some of the export
houses. In the finer spinnings, there is, as before, a more
decided tendency upward than in the lower and medium
counts. In the department for goods there is a similar dis-
position amongst producers to raise their terms, though not
in an equal degree, nor so generally in the various descrip-
tions, as in yarns. The most backward makes are domes-
tics.'T cloths, and the lower qualities of printers.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a steady demand
for pieces to-day, at former prices. There have been a few
London buyers in the market to-day, which has given a
greater stimulus to business. There has been a better de-
mand for wool, and former prices have been freely given.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The position of this market, as
regards demand for silk manufactured goods, is now apparently
less active than we have had occasion to report for some weeks
past, in consequence of the spring trade being ended. A
good business continues doing in light descriptions of piece
goods; and this also applies to some black handkerchief
manufactures. The thrown silk market is becoming gloomy,
which is attributed to some extent to manufacturers waiting
to see what styles of goods are likely to take for the autumn ;
but the demand for fine descriptions for continental purposes
continues to a fair extent. The throwsters are now busier
than they have been for some time past. The raw silk
market may be quoted much firmer for Chinas and Bengals,
and the approaching publio sales of the 23d inst. in London
have had a tendency to check business, although the amount
to be brought forward is very small. We are sorry to have
to report a failure of a silk broker of this town, whose
liabilities are variously stated from 1,5001. to 5,0001.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY. —Both in our Piece-hall and in the
warehouses the demand for worsted goods, of all sorts is
exceedingly limited, and sales cannot be effected to any
extent, except at rates which are wholly unremunerative.
The yarn market also continues in a very languid state.
The spinners are compelled, by the high price of the
raw material, to ask an advance of price, which
the merchants will not give. Consequently the trade
is paralysed, and an extensive curtailment of production
must inevitably be the result. The wool market, also,r is
far from active; and the quantities changing.

HUDDERSYIELD, TUESDAY.— Our market continues dull,
buyers are scarce, and not much has been done in the hall.
A few parcels of clouded doeskins and mixtures have gone
off for the home trade. The merchants and shippers gene-
rally complain of the slackness of the market.

FINSBURY ELECTION.,
A meeting of the electors of Finsbury was held last night
at the Drapers' Arms Inn, Islington, at which the following
letter was read from Mr. Wakley :
" TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH- OF FINSBURY.
" Gentlemen,—The discharge of an exceedingly painful
duty devolves on me on this occasion. In consequence of
the sudden recurrence of a severe indisposition, I am again
prevented from attending in my place in Parliament. Having
become the subject of another attack of ill-health, I am ur-
gently pressed by my family, and also by medical friends of
great ability and experience, to retire at least for a year from
the midnight labours of the House of Commons. The pro-
priety, and even the necessity, of my acting in conformity
with this advice is 80 forcibly and SO acutely felt by me that
I now respectfully announce to you that it is not my inten-
tion ttiono solicit the honour of your suffrages at the ensuing
elec.
" While relinquishing the important distinction of repre-
senting you in Parliament, lam cheered by the reflection
that during the seventeen years that I have occupied a seat
in the House of Commons as your representative I have
never intentionally spoken or voted in antagonism to your
best interests, or in opposition to those rational and just prin-
ciples of government which you have always patriotically
and most zealously advocated.
" With feelings of gratitude towards you which can only
terminate with my existence,

EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR REVENUES,

Bce. BILL.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD moved the second
reading of this Bill.
Mr. WALPOLE considered the state of the session
would not admit of their going into a discussion upon t
measure of this extensive nature, even if tiler",e.
was nothing in the provisions calling for particular oil'
jection. Since the Bill had been introduced he had con'
suited the highest authorities in the Church, as well a 9
others who took an interest in the subject, and be w.,,

the consideration of the state of the cathedral bodies sn:
institutions, so as to place them generally on 0111;
satisfactory footing, and to make them more practica
j
useful than they were at present in regard to spititllos
~
instruction and education. Under those eircumatann%
he hoped the Noble Lord would consent to the order tn'
the second reading, being now read and discharged.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD said he bad et.
pected that the Government would have made some 'le'
claration with regard to the Bill.
Mr. WALPOLE did not think the House ought °
pledge the Government to any details.—(Hear.)
Mr. SLANEY heard the statement of the Secretarld
for the Home Department with great satisfaction, and
ho trusted the Noble Lord would accept his offer
withdraw the Bill.

After a few words from Sir B. BRYDGES,
Mr. WALPOLE pointed out the four heads of th:,
Bill, and said it was the wish of the Government te
lieve as much as possible those who held high elm,7d
in the Church from all duties of a worldly an te.,
poral nature.—(Haar, hear.) The spirit in
the Government proposed to proceed was to evi;

might not be more fully restored to the high and b 0
purposes for which they were originally fount:161110

the bishops in several matters relating to their diocesee, a of

the clergy, so as to bring the whole body of the Cho7o
in perfect harmony.—(Cheers.) That being the gelito,
view of the Government, he thought it would be Vega
turn for the House to prejudge the question by bill
them to any particular details.—(Hear.)
Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the tig°4
vernment intended to take the whole subject of the
into their serious consideration. IWO
Sir R. H. IN GLI6 thanked the Secretary for the itr
Department for the general view he had given of thedr
tentions of the Government, and concurred
_n the 4,
sirableness of not continuing the present discussion the
that there was a general opinion in the House that

Sir BENJAMIN HALL considered that unless to
management of ecclesiastical property was pieeectibet
a Commission, and the salaries of Bishops and h°osea
functionaries in the Church, the existing tor
would still be continued. He hoped the Gre,'
ment would see there was a disposition and poi
termination on the part of the laity to insist the

a full and searching inquiry should be nothl tee
into the temporalities of the Church, not 1'16;00

of good and sufficient incomes, but with the intent!ua 001
effecting necessary reforms. If the Government did
yield to the voice out of doors, and propose a °costa
well calculated to remedy abuses in the Church, 133 paa'
would come to a much more serious pass than was
contemplated. tadi
Mr. HORSMAN said the Noble Lord would ac• I
