STATE OF. TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—TiIe Canada's advices of the
26th ult. from New York, apprise us of a further rise of 14
to I/ 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, whi.e the accounts of the grow-
ing cropsontinuedhighly 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 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 Ifid. 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 fof goods there is a similar dis-
position amongst producers to raise their terms, though not
in an e
as u
iqal degree, nor so generally in the various descrip-
tions, n yarns. The most backward makes are domes-
ticeT 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
Londcn 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,isnow 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 are variously stated from 1,51)01. 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,
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 alllivke likely
to be realised here, even though the quotations for
is
should undergo considerable improvement. Short

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 ICLEcTeRs OF THE BOROUGH OF FINSIIURY.
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
acting in
tforacoynefaorrmifrotmy the midnight labours of the House of Commons. The pro-
p
riety, and even the necessity, of my ti,
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
le relinquishing the important distinction of repre-
seelnetiWtnioglyou 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,
" liarefleld Park, June 8, 1852."
" THO3IAS WAKLET.
The meeting, however, passed a resolution not to accept
the Honourable Gentleman's resignation, and appointed a de-
putation to wait upon him, with a view to obtain his consent
to again become a candidate.

WATERFORD POLITIC;. A correspondent in
Waterford. writes to say that a curious combination has
been formed for putting into Parliament Sir IL 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, suc-
ceed. The people of Waterford—in county, in city, and in
borough—are true—true as the writer of this article knew
them to be in 1826—true to their country; true tovvetheekirffariotmh,
true to themselves. They will take counsel from their.
clergy, and' that clergy are now,_ as they ere 1.,

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 bad 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 nofurther decline took place in the quotations.
Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Indian Corn
and Flour met a very slow inquiry.

EPISCOPAL AND: CAPITULAR REVENUE`'
&c. BILL.
The llarauis of BLANDFORD• moved the sewed
reading of this Bill.
Mr. WALPOLE,' considered the state of the sessieu
would not admit of their going into a discussion upon °
measure of this extensive nature, even if WI!
was nothing in the provisions calling for particular nu
jection. Since the Dill had been introduced he bad or
suited the highest authorities in the Church, as well 82,
others who took en interest in the subject,
and be 117
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 WOre
satisfactory footing, and to make them more practically
useful than they.were at present in regard to spiritua;
instruction and education. 'Under thosei circnreaterce
he hoped the Noblii Lord would consent to the order for
the second reading, being now read end discharged.
The Merquis of, BLANDFORD said. he had ex-
pected that tne Goyermnent would have, made some d°'
claration with regard to.the Bill. .
Mr. WALPOLE did not think the House cught to
pledge' the Government to any details.—(Hear.)'
Mr. SLANEY heard the statement or the Secretary
for the Home Department with great satisfaction, °l
be trusted the Noble Lord would accept hie offer 'lca
withdraw the Bill.
After a few words from Sir B. BRYDGES,
Mr. WALPOLE pointed Out the four heads of the'
BM, and said it was the wish of the Government to re-
lieve as much as possible those who held high ace"
in the Church from all duties of a worldly and- ton:
panel nature.—(Hear, hear.) The spirit in which
the Government proposed to proceed was to e°ll+;
cider whether these great cathedral establishmen;',
might not be more fully restored to the high and 19
purposes for which they were originally founded nri e
endowed, viz., as temples for the daily worship *of the
Almighty Being, as seats of learning, as councils to asst A
the bishops in several matters relating to their dioceses, an
as connecting links between the higher and lower orders
the clergy, so as to bring the whole body of the Chtlre
in perfect harmony.--(Cheers.) That being the general ,
view of the Government, he thought it would be prows;'
tare for the House to prejudge the question by hinclip°'
them to any particular detaile.--(Hear.)
Lord EBRINGTON was glad to hear that the G7l
vernment intended to take the whole subject of the 131
into their serious consideration.
Sir R. H. INGLIS-thanked the Secretary for the ID°. °
Department for the general view he had given of the
tendons of the Government, cud concurred in the
de-
sirableness of not continuing the present discussion no",
,
that there was a general opinion in the House that the
Bill ought not to be pressed.
. Lord R. GROSVENOR also expressed his gratifinr,
tion at hearing the declaration of the Right Hon. Gen
declaim.
Mr. J. WILLIAMS . hoped, in any measure vibieb
might be proposed, provision would be made to prevent
ei
any clergyman being appointed to a bishopric in WA'
who was tot acquainted. with the Welsh language. ,
Sir BENJAMIN HALL considered that unless 111;n-
-matiageMent of ecclesiastical property was
placed —;„
a Commission, and the salaries of Bishops
and ntbe;
functionaries in the Church, the existing abusD„'
would still be continued. He hoped the Govern'
meet would see there wns a disposition and de-
termination on the part of the laity to insist
only on reforms in the manner in which t 1
ecclesiastical body performed their duties, but
a •full and searching inquiry should be insdnie a
into, the temporalities of the Church, not with
tt
view of depriving . her real and efficient serveP
of good and sufficient incomes but with the intention _f
effecting necessary reforms. If the Government did not
yield to the voice out of doors, and propose a meoaro
well calculated to remedy abuses in the Church, mattere
would come to a much more serious pass than was o°w
contemplated.
Mr. HORSMAN said the Noble Lord would act
cieusly in not pressing the Bill. •
