THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
FOREIGN W00L.,--LEEDS, APRIL 2.—We have no change
to report iu this on the colonial branch of the wool trade during
the past week.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, APRIL 2.—There is not 'any
variation of moment this week in the demand for combing
wools. The manufacturers complain of the disproportion of
prices of yarns and good compared with those of wool, and
therefore limit their purchases to a supply of their require-
ments for ithmediate use.
LIVERPOOL WOOL,. APRIL I.—Business is still quiet, but
we have on the whole rather more inquiry. Imports the past
week consist of 271 Egyptian, 12 Constantinople, 34 Trieste,
129 Beirut, 376 East India, 2,370 Alpaca.
IlitantoßP, Aram I.—Wool—There is evidently a poor
show of combing wools now in the market, and an equal
slackness in the wants of the spinners, who are generally doing
as little as they can carry on with. The supply in the country
dealers and growers' hands is held for prices far too high for
this market. Yarns—The stoppage of machinery still con-
tinues ; the yarn trade was never so disjointed as at pre-
sent. Pieces—There is a great falling off in the quantity of
goods making, prices being so low, the sales making are gene-
rally in plain cloths and mixtures.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, APRIL I.—There has been but
a limited business in this market since Tuesday, but the more
marked impression which the America's advices from the trans-
Atlantic states had produced on the cotton market at Liver-
pool has led to rather more depression, and price. are again
somewhat weaker. For light T cloths and printing cloths
there is a good business, and prices are somewhat firmer than
in clothe generally. In yarns the reduction is fully IA d per lb
since this day week, and but a limited business is doing. The
India news is considered less favourable than before, owing to
the adverse exchanges, but the private letters of merchants have
not yet come to hand.

made for the losing party on such occasions, to the
4f,ct that, on taking the first turn in the river after
siarting, the coxswain made a mistake, and the rowers
were afterwards unable to recover their lost advantage.
flow this may be we are unable to decide, as we merely
five the excuse as it circulated amongst the gentlemen
who wore the light-blue favours, with the additional plea
hat owing to the sudden indisposition of nee et the
Cambridge crew, his place had to be supplied by a limn
who necessarily could not have undergone the same fx-
tent of training which his predecessor had done. The
scene as the two cutters dashed through the water was
very striking. There were some dozen Citizen steamers
completely crowded, and as they followed in the wake of
the boats they seemed like a moving mountain of human
beings. The left bank of the river was no less thronged with
horsemen, and as they splashed through the rising tide,
which, owing to the direction of the wind
etas unusually high to-day, many of them
became unseated, while others lost their hats,
or became submerged in the river. Most of the
rowing clubs attached to the Thames were out in their
full colours; and we regret to state that the Leander
cutter was capsized just below the railway bridge
which crosses the river near Mortlake; whether any
of the crew were lost we could not ascertain, but
we hope and believe not. On the whole the course was
well kept, but there was one universal complaint as to
the overloading of the steam-boats. though it should not
be forgotten by those who grumble at the circumstance,
that the success of these aquatic sports depends in a great
measure upon a fall attendance of the public, and no
doubt as this healthy and harmless amusement is yearly
obtaining an increase of votaries, the future accommo-
dation will be upon a corresponding scale. At the close
of the match the men rested upon their oars for a few
moments to acknowledge the applause that was bestowed
on them, and then swinging round returned to Putney,
where they afterwards dined together. Altogether, it
certainly was a very pleasing spectacle, and the fineness of
the weather-with the fulness of the' tide, which overflowed
the banks of the river, and flooded the-surrounding mea-
dows, contributed vastly to the enjoyment of the most
popular and attractive amateur boat race we have ever
had the good fortune to witness. At Mortlake
the attendance was far more numerous and
fashionable than at Putney, and though the
conclusion of the match considerably reduced the flow of
animal spirits which had previously characterised the
Cambridge party, the festivities of the day were kept
up with great hilarity until the evening.

GRAND PROMENADE AT THE
CRYSTAL PALACE.-(THIS DAY.)

The committee for the preservation of the Crystal
Palace, determined to show the capabilities, to the
fullest extent, for the recreation and amusement
of the public, threw it open this afternoon as a
grand promenade. A little before two o'clock
the six bands of the Househod Brigade, and of
the Royal Artillery assembled in the centre of
the transept, &c. As the clock struck two the Royal
Artillery struck up one of Streik's marches, and pro-
ceeding down the centre aisle took up its position in the
east gallery; the First Lite Guards' band followed,
taking up its station on the north side of the west nave;
the 2d Life Guards and the Scotch Fusiliers proceeded
to the south and nort side of the east nave; the Grenadier
Guards to the south side of the western nave, while the
Royal Horse Guards and the Coldstream Guards' bands
remained under th© south and north transept,
where, during the remainder of the day they continued
to entertain the assembled multitude with se-
lections from favourite composers. The building
soon filled rapidly, and towards four o'clock
it reminded us of the busiest days of the
five shilling period. The crowd of promenaders in the
centre was as numerous, and of as fashionable an ap-
pearance, as we ever remember seeing in the building,
while the space under the transept was so
crowded that locomotion was utterly impossible.
Considering that the majority of the bands were placed
on the ground floor, surrounded by dense crowds, and
that no preparation had been made to place them in the
best position, it would be unfair to judge of the acoustic
properties of the building from the present experiment
merely.
Petitions were placed in different parts of the building
praying for the retention of the edifice, and we have no
doubt that a groat majority of those who visited the
building to-day will be the most strenuous opponents to
its removal.

It is difficult to judge of numbers when scattered
over so large an area as the Crystal Palace, but we
have no doubt that before four o'clock at least 30,000
persona had entered the building, and when we left at
that hour the cry was still " They come, they come."
The present experiment has been so thorougly success-
ful that we have no doubt it will be repeated at the
earliest opportunity.
