The accounts from the various manufacturing
districts for the past week have, in most instances,
been satisfactory, although business has been par-
tially suspended consequent upon the annual stock-
taking. At Manchester both cloths and yarns
have advanced in price, owing to the shortness of
stocks of cotton at Liverpool. The woollen trade
of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been
seasonably active, and both spinners and manufac-
turers are busily engaged upon spring fabrics. At
Leicester and Nottingham there has been little
change of importance in the hosiery and lace
departments, while in the hardware districts of
Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there
has been rather more animation than usual at this
season of the year.

The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
by no means extensive. Holders of all descriptions were
very firm in their demands, and prices advanced in some
instances ls. per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, and prices had an
upward tendency.
There was a moderately large supply of home-grown
barley on the stands, and the show of samples of foreign
produce was extensive. Good and fine malting parcels were
in moderate, request at full prices ; otherwise the trade was
dull, on former terms.
In the malt trade, signs of improvement were apparent,
and prices ruled firm.
The supply of oats was moderate. The trade, on the
whole, ruled steady, and previous quotations were supported.
The market was well supplied with beans. For all descrip-
tions there was a steady demand at last Monday's currency.
The inquiry for peas was somewhat limited, yet no change
took place in their value. The show of samples was
moderate.

Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, in the Chatham district,
has been placed under orders of removal to Dover for the
purpose of proceeding with the 2d Brigade to the Cape of
Good Hope. Lieut.-Col. Talbot will be succeeded in his
command of the let division by Lieut.-Col. Fooks.
On Saturday Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., assisted by Mr.
Walker, was engaged, as on previous days, in his official
investigations at Chatham dockyard, his inquiries during
the whole of the time he has been occupied at Chatham
having extended to all the departments connected with that
establishment. It was expected that Mr. Stansfeld's
vestigations at Chatham would have included the Steam
Reserve branch of the navy, but it would seem that the in-
quiries connected with that department of the service will
be left entirely to the Steam Reserve Committee recently
appointed by the Admiralty, who have already commenced
their investigations. With the single exception, perhaps,
of the Royal dockyards, there is no branch of the navy
which demands a more searching inquiry than that
relating to the management, equipment, and general
condition of the vessels which compose what is termed
the Steam Reserve at each of the principal naval ports.
In the case of the Steam Reserve at Chatham and in the
Medway the squadron consists of some 50 steam vessels of
all classes and descriptions. Of this number only some half
dozen, or even less, are in any respect fully equipped, and
these are not fit for immediate service at sea. Of the large
number which compose the remainder, few, if any, could be
prepared for sea in a less time than several months, while
of the actual number which go to swell the total several are
entirely unsuited for the present requirements of the navy,
and are therefore only fit to be disposed of cut of the service.
It is, however, in the large staff of officers, seamen, and
other hands which are compelled to be kept up for attend-
ing to the steamers that some sweeping alterations aro
needed, the outlay necessary under the present arrange-
ments being something enormous. Each vessel requires a
certain amount of repairs annually, generally involving the
outlay of a large sum, while there are also a number of men
constantly employed on board each in cleaning and repair-
ing engines and in other necessary occupations. The de-
scription of the Steam Reserve at Chatham will apply with
equal force to the squadrons at the other naval ports, and
the investigations and recommendations of the recently-
appointed Steam Reserve Commission are therefore looked
forward to with very considerable interest. On Friday
evening Mr. Stansfeld was entertained at dinner by the
officers of the Chatham division of Royal Marines Light
Infantry, in their mess-room, on which occasion Colonel T.
Lemon, C. 8., the Col. Commandant of the division, pre-
sided. Mr. Stansfeld returned to the Admiralty on Satur •
day, but it is probable that the investigations at Chatham
may occupy some, few days of the present week.
Mr. E. J. Reed, the Chief Constructor of the Navy, has
been on a visit to Chatham dockyard for the purpose of
making the necessary arrangements for forging the angle
iron and the heavy portions of the ribs for the Bellerophon,
all of which are to be executed at the smithy in Chatham
yard.

Renewed heaviness characterised the opening of
the English Stock Market this morning, and sales
on speculative account were resumed, owing to the
uneasiness felt respecting the Schleswig-Holstein

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer
here, to-day; for the time of year, and sales progressed
steadily, at full prices. Moss of the sheep were in prime
condition.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were again very moderate as to number ; but their
general quality was prime. For all breeds the demand
ruled steady, at prices fully equal to Monday last, and at
which a good clearance was effected. The best Scots and
crosses sold at from 5s to 5s 2d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk. Essex,and Cambridgeshire we re-
ceived 1,600 Scots, crosses, &o.; from other parts of Eng-
land 1,200 various breeds; from Scotland, 280 Scots and
crosses ; and from Ireland 70 oxen and heifers.
We were again scattily supplied with most breeds of
sheep. Their general condition, however, was good. The
mutton trade was very firm, and last week's quotations were
well supported. Prime Downs and half-breds sold readily
at 6 per 81bs. The whole of the supply was disposed of.
Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade
was in a sluggish state, on former terms, viz., from 4s to
5s per Sibs. _

The new quarters for married soldiers at the Canterbury
Barracks, which have been erected at a cost of nearly
£lO,OOO, including extras, are now completed, and they
only await the formal inspection of the authorities to render
them ready for occupation. The new quarters occupy a site,
several acres in extent, on the south-east side of the Cavalry
Barracks, and close adjoining the new riding school. They
consist of four blocks of buildings, each two stories high,
and about 50 yards in length. Each block contains 20
rooms, 10 on the basement and 10 on the upper story. The
entrances to the upper rooms are from a verandah, supported
on castiron pillars, forming a colonnade along the front of
the basement story. Ihe whole has a very pleasing appear-
ance. The four blocks of building contain altogether 80
rooms, each from 16 to 18 feet square, and fitted up with
small oven and boiler, cupboard and shelves, gas, &c. The
buildings are constructed on a new principle, the walls be-
ing hollow and built with bonding bricks. Taylor's patent,
ventilating course is also introduced. The rooms are
thoroughly s entilated, and there is a contrivance by which,
in winter, the air is made to pass through the shafts of
the chimneys to warm it. In the rear of the houses is a
large block of building containing some six or eight rooms,
including lavatory and bath rooms for both men and
women, washhouse, drying room, and laundry. The wash-
house, which is sufficiently large to enable from 16 to 20
women to werk at the same time. is fitted up with four
large boilers for heating water, of which there appears to
be an abundant supply. The laundry is on an equally
large scale, while between the two there is a drying room,
fitted up with patent apparatus. The buildings, which
have occupied about 12 months in erection, have been built
by Messrs. Cozens Brothers, of Canterbury.
The hired transport Camperdown will embark at Ports-
mouth on the 14th inst. the remainder of the 76th Regi-
ment for Madras, The Camperdown left London for
Portsmouth originally on the 2d of December, 1863. She
encountered the strong gales then prevailing,and was fallen
in with when in the greatest distress on Dec. 6, a few miles
off Ostend, by the Belgian cutter Pearl. She was taken
into. Zierikzee anchorage with six feet of water in her hold.
and without her anchor and chain and main t )pgallant mast.
Since then the Camperdown has been to London and refitted
for her voyage.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.

ALDBOROVGII, SUFFOLK, Jan 2.—The Aldboroug h life-
boat,of the National Lifeboat Institution'entered upon im-
taut services in saving three men and their boat from
destruction on New Year's eve. The men were ' out
fishing, when a gale came on so suddenly frcm
that they were unable to come ashore, as they dared not,
attempt to pass through the heavy breakers on the shoals,
or they would have lost their lives. The lifeboat was
quickly manned, launched, and pulled through the heavy
surf on the bank's, and was fortunately successful in bring-
ing the poor fellbws and their craft safely to shore. The
sea wag the heaviest the lifeboat had ever previously en-
Countered, and her admirable behaviour has given great
satisfaction to her crew.

BACTON, NouroLx., Saturday Night.—At eaybleak this
morning the firing of a heavy gun was heard from the
Floating Light ship at the north end of the Hasbro'
Sands. Soon after a largo vessel was observed with dis-
tress signals in her rigging, about 10 or 12 miles from
the shore. It was blowing a gale from the east, and a
heavy sea on. The Baotou lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution was launched through the surf,
and bore away for the wreck, Upon arriving
at the vessel they found that she was full
rigged, but had lost her mainmast. She was a foreign yes-

goiitglainntside the crew of the lifeboat found no one on
board.. It is reported that the crow had taken to their long-
boat and had been picked up by a Winterton yawl, and
taken to Great Yarmouth.

On Thursday Professor Tyndall delivered the
third of his Christmas course of lectures at the Royal
Institution. Having in the two previous lectures illustrated
re
and explained the phenomena of electrical attraction and
Pulsion, and the induction of electricity in bodies at a dis-
tance from the excited electric, he yesterday proceeded to
consider the excitement of electricity in larger quantities
than can be produced by rubbing rods of glass or sulphur,
and its condensation in the Leyden jar. For this purpose a
more complicated form of apparatus was necessary, and the
Powerful electrical roacbines and batteries of the Royal In-
stitution were brought into operation.

At the Devonport quarter sessions on Thursday

mend the prisoners to mercy, because the evidence is not
sufficiently clear against them." The Recorder sentenced
the boys to several terms of imprisonment.
