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 14
to 14 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 ifs 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 1.6 d. 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 of 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.,,`! 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, TUEstur.—Tho position of this market, as
regards demand for silk manufacturedgoods. 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 public 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 aro variously stated from 1,500/. to 5,000/.
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, is
far from active; and the quantities changing hands are but
small. The staplers are in a difficult position; for the prices
asked by the growers are higher than are at all likely
to be realised hero, even though the quotations for yarn
should undergo considerable improvement. Short wool is
considerably dearer.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY,•OIIF 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 frum•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. Raving
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 laboursau of the llouse of Commons. The pro-
priety, and eve necessity, of my acting in conformity
with this advice is so forcibly and so acutely felt by me that
I now respectfully announce to you that it is not my inten-
tion to solicit the honour of your suffrages at the ensuing
election.
" 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,
"Believe me to remain, as ever, gentlemen,
"Your faithful servant, •

WATERFORD POLITICS. A correspondent in
Waterford writes to say that a curious combination has
been formed for putting into Parliament Sir H. W. Barron
and Mr. Christmas for the city, Lord Ingestrie and Sir
Nugent Humble for the county, and Mr. Beresford Hope for
Dungarvan. We are acquainted with the mode in Which it
is hoped to make this plot work. It will not, however, sue.
ceed. The people of Waterford—in county, in city, and in
borough—are tree—true as the writer of this article knew
them to be in 1826—true to their country; true to theirfaith •
true to themselves. They will take counsel from' their'
clergy, and that clergy are now, as they ever have been—
generous patriot3.—Dubhn Paper.

EPISCOPAL AND CAPITULAR REVENUE6t

&c. BILL.
The Marcinis 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
measure of this extensive nature, even if there
was nothing in the provisions calling for particular ob"
jection. Since the Bill had been introduced he bad con'
stilted the highest authorities in the Church, as well
.1.45,
others who took an interest in the subject, and he ie"'
now prepared to say the Government would undertake
the consideration of the state of the cathedral bodies and
institutions, so as to place them generally on a more
satisfactory satisfactory footing, and to make them more practica
useful than they were at present in regard to spirituel
instruction and education. Under those circumstance",
he hoped the Noble Lord would consent to the order for
the second reading, being now read and discharged.
The Marquis of BLANDFORD said he bad es'
petted that the Government would have made some de'
claration with regard to the Bill.
Mr. WALPOLE did not think the House ought t°
pledge the Government to any details.—(Hear.)
Mr. SLANEY heard the statement of the Secretary
for the Home Department with great satisfaction, BIIA
he trusted the Noble Lord would accept his offer 80"
withdraw the Bill.
After a few words from Sir B. BRYDGES,
Mr. WALPOLE pointed out the four heads of t"
Bill, and said it was the wish of the Government to re;
lisve as much as possible those who held high offic'"
in the Church from all duties of a worldly and tel;
poral nature.—(Hear, hear.) The spirit in 101°
the Government proposed to proceed was to
eider whether these great cathedral establishrool,
might not be more fully restored to the high and bola
purposes for which they were originally founded 813
endowed, viz., as temples for the daily worship of t 0
.et
Almighty Being, as seats of learning, as councils to asst d
the bishops in several matters relating to their dioceses, en
as connecting links between the higher and lower order of
b
the clergy, so as to bring the whole body of the Church
in perfect harmony.—(Cheer:.) That being the general
view of the Government, ho thought it would be Prenl
Lure for the House to prejudge the queseinn by bins:ll9g.
them to any particular details.—(Hear.)
Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the trii
vernment intended to take the whol3 subject of the 9'
into their serious consideration.
Sir H. H. IN GLI6 thanked the Secretary for the iftoe
Department for the general view he had given of the :0,
editions of the Government, and concurred in the
sirableness of not continuing the present discussion O,e
that there was a general opinion in the House that the
Bill ought not to he pressed. •
Lord Y. GROSVENOR also expressed his gratifief
tion at hearing the declaration of the Right Hon. Gem
tleman.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS hoped, in any measure wbicti
might be proposed, provision would be made to prevent
any clergyman being appnintod to a bishopric in 17 i"
who was sot acquainted with the Welsh language. the
Sir BENJAMIN HALL considered that unlessla
management of ecclesiastical property was placed,r
a Commission, and the salaries of Bishops and otb
functionaries in the Church, the existirg apex
would still be continued. He hoped the Gol7o.
ment would see there was a disposition and
not
termination on the part of the laity to lmist he
only on reforms in the manner in which
tot
ecclesiastical body performed their duties, but ed
a full and searching inquiry should be inetittithe
into the temporalities of the Church, not with
_ts
view of depriving her real and efficient serfof
of good and suilicient incomes, but with the intention..o
ot
effecting necessary reforms. If the Government dioeuure
yield to the voice out of doors, and propose a nlea
well calculated to remedy abuses in the Church, 038ttere
130ee
would come to a much more serious pass than was
contemplated.
Mr. HORSMAN said the Noble Lord would act /*Egli'
ciously in not pressing the Bill.
