STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY. The buyers of yarns
have evinced, to-day, a disposition to hesitate about
business, which was not observable last week. This
!! Partly a natural effect of those previous operatiets
that have placed buyers under large engagements
With sellers, and partly a consequence of less buoy-
!lA advices respecting cotton from the United
States. Perhaps the latter cause has had more in-
-littence. than the former. Spinners, however, have
been_ affected only to this extent, that they have
Luswified the extreme and merely nominal quo-
tations of last week, and showed, in many instances,
more willingness to sell than they did then. But the
!basket remains firm, at the full attainable prices of
Pri day. Any offers below these are at once de•
e„uDed by producers, who feel very much at ease
respecting further contracts just now. The preceding
statements are chiefly applicable to water twist in the
Warp and the bundle, to pin-cops and cop twist, and to
reeled mule below 40's. The overland accounts have
somewhat strengthened 40's and 50's ; and there is a
hardening in such yarns as are adapted to the Brad-
ford trade. Some counts of doubled are fully as high
as before. As goods have been all along in the
rear of yarn, they are less affected than yarns by
the American accounts. Domestics continue to be
aeglected ; but for various other fabrics there is a fair
demand, at the previous rates. The India merchants
are operating in T cloths, 40-inch jacconets, and the
lower qualities of 40. inch shirtings; and, as the pro-
duction of these shirtings is greatly diminished,
theiri value is slightly improved. We are glad to
observe that the present advices from Calcutta indi-
cate a more marked change for the better in that
market than the previous accounts did. In con-
beifion with business at Bombay, we give the
f
:4`c),l9i.sg remarks from Ritchie, Stuart, and
s circular as to the stocks that are there
held of Manchester goods :—" Of Manchester

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Silt,—England has for some time been ringing
with a new nomenclature---a vocabulary of strange
and warlike terms. Who done not hear Lily of the
" Minis rifle," of " Colt's zevolvers," the " Carabins
a 'lige," and the " Prussian needle-gun ?" Permit
me, Sir, to offer a few remarks on the lest mentioned
of these war-weapons. That the English people
should regard with apathy this great improvement
in fire-arms is very natural. A long habitude of
peace has rendered us indifferent to aught that relates
to war or its implements. But there is a grand fact
connected with this new invention, which, when fully
known to the people of this country, I make
bold to affirm, will startle them from their attitude of
apathy, and be hailed by all—even the most devoted
friends of the " peace doctrine—with a joyous
enthusiasm.
That a Board of Ordnance should have made trial
of this weapon and rejected it, is to many who have
given their attention to the subject a matter of
extreme wonder. The objections said to have been
raised have proved to be utterly groundless. The
action of the Prussian Government is proof enough
of itself. They are /aging aside a rifle quite as good
as that which we are now adopting. They have
armed 50,000 of their soldiers with the needle-gun,
and still continue to arm others, and this after years
of experiment-,, some of which have been made on the
field of battle !
Is the Prussian Treasury plethoric ? or is it the
nature of that practical people to be thus playing with
an expensive toy ?
To enumerate the advantages which the needle-
gun possesses over all other weapons of the kind
would require a column of your journal. It embraces
all the improvements which they claim. It equals
any of them i❑ " range and direction," but in " quick-
ness of loading," the main feature in a war weapon,
it is beyond all comparison their superior. This
superiority it has obtained by having accomplished
that end so long desired, and hitherto so fruitlessly
attempted, a perfect system of " breech loading." It
can be reloaded and fired ten times in the minute.
You may load running or riding, standing or sitting,
kneeling or crouching—in short in any position,
and with as much ease as you could take a pinch of
snuff from your box or a cigar from your case. It is
not too much to say that it can be loaded and fired
with twice the rapidity of any other gun. It is not
too much to say that 50,000 men with this weapon
would be a match for nearly twice their number
armed with any other yet known ; nor is it too much
to assert that volunteers thus armed will be a match,
man for man, with the best-drilled troops of the line.
This last assertion brings us to the " grand fact" to
which I have alluded. I am no lover of war. My
heart throbs in unison with the preachers of
peace, and I have no sympathy with the
mere professional soldier. I cannot therefore
contemplate the results which this invention
may bring about without emotions of sublime
pleasure. lam full of confidence that if it do not
altogether ten-aurae the red and ruthless game of
war, it will carry us a long step towards that de-
sired end. It will at least make war less expensive.
.It will strip the world's tyrants of all excuse for
maintaining those great armies—body-guards for
butchery and blood—those incubi of the earth, that,
like vast vampires, sit upon the bosom of civilization
and society. I repeat tee affirmation, that an army
of volunteers freshly drawn from their ploughs, their
shops, and their looms, with this weapon in their
hands, will be a match, man for man, with the oldest
troops. What advantage would the one side have
over the over ? The manege of the needle- gun is so
simple that the raw recruit may be taught in
a single week to handle it with as much
ability as the soldier of twenty years' practice.
What advantage then in standing armies, and
systems of drill—farther than a few simple move-
ments to prevent bodies of men from becoming mobs,
and shooting one another ? The whole tactic of war
as hitherto practised will be changed in the next great
battle of the world. The touch of the elbow, the
squareness of the shoulders, and the toes turned out,
may still remain the farce of the parade ground, but
they can no longer influence the fate of the fight.
The sabre may sleep in its sheath. No more shall be
heard the charging cheer or the crash of the crossing
bayonets. Farewell to the showy front, to the square
and the cavalry charge. Woe to the close column
that would attempt to force a field-work or fortifica-
tion ! Death—certain death—to its divisions as they
advance upon those blazing embrazures. Woe to the
serried line that would move over the open ground
that intervenes between two hostile armies. Its files
would be blanked, its dressing deranged, and its
glittering ranks scattered like chaff by the death-
dealing detonations of the zundnadelgewchr.

I am, Sir, &c.,

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.
Mr. Phelps, whose judicious and

maiotuin the reputation of the legitimate drama have
commanded the (wirers-31 resp, ct and approbation of
the playgoing world, received a signal testimonial of the
appreciation entertained of his merits, both as an actor
and a manager, in the overflowing audience that greeted
his benefit last evening. There was not an available
spot unoccupied in any portion of the house. He sus-
tained the character of James the Sixth in the recently
produced piece of that name. Of the manner in which
the part of that singular monarch, who wds one of the
rarest specimens of a combination of the knave and, fool
that history presents, is played by Mr. Phelps, it is suf-
ficient to say that it equals in talent his personation of
Sir Pertinax M'Sycaptuint, to which there is nothing
superior on the modern stage.

THE DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

From tho arrivals at the beat of act jou, I am
enabled this evening to give a more correct list of starters
for to-morrow's events than appeored in yesterday's
impression. The Betting-room Stakes wili commerce
the business of the day, and will be contested by Auld
Acquaiutanco, Anteverta, Ulrica, Bold Davie, Lady
Agnes, Dalton, The Shadow, Annie Laurie, and perhaps
Sir Charles Napier. ULRICA and THE SHADOW are in
capital form, and it is not improbable may knock over
the crack, ANTETERTA.

The field for the Grand National Steeplechase will
be composed of Sir Peter Laurie, Chieftain, View Hal-
loo (d), Ace of Trumps, The Little Queen, Bourton,
Miss Mowbray, A. Y., and it is said Half-and-half, and
one or two others; but this I doubt very much. MY
colours are nailed to the mast, wick CHIEFTAIN, MISS
MOWBRAY, and SIR PETER LAURIE as first, second, and
third; and as the courie is but a short three and a half
miles in length, with ho serious jumps in it, the best flat
racer of the three will be the winner.
The entries for the Northern Steeplechase having
come to hand, I am enabled to state, that THE REITER
is pretty nearly a certainty for it, and Slapdash and Cho-
rister are his mast formidable opponents.
The Optional Selling Stakes lies between JACK RAG
and Miss FANNY.
Considering the large number of the sporting frater-
nity that have exported themselves to Doncaster, the
market is in a very lively condition, the money invested
on several of the horses for to-day's races being rather

SUICIDE OF A FEMALE AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE
--Yesterday evening Mr. W. J. Payne held an inquest at the
Union Inn, Union-street, Blackfriars, on the body of
Johanna Driscoll, aged 34. The deceited, who was well
known in the saloons in the neighbourhood of the Strand,
where she had acquired the cognomen of " Happy Jack,"
was formerly in very good circumstances, but had latterly
been not very well ofi; and frequently said she would
throw herself over Waterloo-bridge, and had, in fact, about
four years since attempted to destroy herself by that means,
but was rescued, having sustained a fracture of one of the
thighs from coming in contact with one of the buttresses of
the bridge. A statement of this circumstance had appeared in
nantl
the daily papers at that time, and the deceased carefully pre-
served a copy of the paragraph, which she now and then
amused herself with by reading it to her friends. On Friday

DoREUESTER, TUESDAY.—The Right Hon. George
Makes, her Majesty's Judge-Advocate-General, was re-
elected for the county of Dorset to-day without opeoei-
tine. Although it was well known that such would be
the case, the borough functionaries swere in no less than
100 special consieblee, who, surrounding the hustings,
gave a singular idea of the freedom of election. Not
the slightest distuibauce occurred, nor was there any
opposition ( ffered to the Right Hon. Gentleman, the
mob indulging themselves with an occasional prose
commentary on the speeches,
to which the Hon. Mem-
ber frequently took occasion to reply.
Mr. BANKES (having been nominated by Mr. Farqu-
harson and seconded by Mr. Percher, two county ma-
gistrates, who spoke highly of his services at quarter
sessions, and having been declared duly re-elected)
proceeded to thank the electors for the honour they had
done him, and to assure them that, as he bad heretofore
endeavoured, so he would continue his endeavours to
promote the interests of them all. His hon. proposer
and seconder had spoken of his discharge of those official
duties which he had exercised in that county; and though
the important duties which he had assumed under the
Crown were of a higher character, still the principle
of them was the same as that on which he had
hitherto acted; and though in the discharge
of his new duties it would be necessary that
he should at times enter personally into the
presence of his Sovereign, and that with her Majesty he
should have to consider those cases of a judicial cha-
racter which concerned the army of the kingdom, which
would involve unquestionably a
high responsibility, still
those high and onerous duties brought no terrors to him,
because he felt that with regard to persons of high sta-
tion and character he should be guided by the same
principles upon which he had hitherto discharged his
judicial powers towards the humblest of his fellow-sub-
jects. It bad been observed with regard to the new
Ministry, with something,
perhaps, approaching to a
censure and a sneer, that a large proportion of it was
composed of chairman of quarter-sessions. It was
most true, and, so far from thinking it a disparagement,
he thought it might be viewed in a contrary light, it
they reflected who were the men who were selected
throughout the kingdom as chairman of quarter-ses-
sions. He excluded, of course, all consideration of that
peculiar county, but, looking through the kingdom at
large, were they not gentlemen of unblemished honour,
character, and reputation? (A Voice--a No.") Were
they not men who were selected throughout their
but because, having had a liberal education,
they had profited by that education, had act-
or pride of birth,
and were desirous of making

were, it was true, the noble names of the Bedfords, and
the Greys, and the Granvilles. There was not, that he
knew of, ono single chairman of the quarter-sessions in
that Cabinet; but there did belong to its political body
the chairman of the quarter-sessions of the county adj a

who left them because he believed they were under-

(No, no, and Hear, hear.) The revelation of which
he spoke had been made during an inquiry into the
bribery in the borough of St. Alban's. It appeared
that au organized system of bribery had existed in
that borough for many years, over which a gentleman of
the name of Coppock had presided, he being the mai
agent of the Great Reform Club, whose splendid build-
ing in London, no doubt, they had all seen. Mr. Cop-
pock was the great power who had kept the Whigs for
so many years in the government. He had often been
heard of, often talked ' of, but never had been seen.—
(Laughter.) some considered him a fabulous animal,
something, like the great sea serpent. His head was
sometimes seen in one borough, and his tail was found in
another.—(Laughter.) He was known to encircle the
kingdom, but nobody was ever able to catch hold of him.
Some regarded him as an evil genius, others as a benefi-
cent spirit; but those were the parties who had profited
by his beneficence. .He was like the'Man of Ross; he
did " good by stealth, and blushed to find it fame." But
at last he was discovered; the great sea serpent was
pulled out by a hook that was put into his nose, and
then they heard all about the great power of the Whig
Government. Mr. Coppoek hall got a list of all the great
boroughs of the United Kingdom. He know them all,
and he knew the price of them all. (A Voice—
., What's the price of Dorchester?")..4Latightero) He
would say something on that head, and he was obliged
to the gentleman for reminding him of it. He had no
doubt read in the Times newspaper—because everybody
reads the Times 1 (Voices, " Nee no I") Yes, yes.
(Voices, " No.") Oh, dear me, has the Times newspaper
got out of favour here ?—(Laughter.) The times
are changing indeed, if the Times newspaper is going
out of favour, but whether out of favour or not, it is
always true.—(No no, yes, and laughter.) Well, it con-
tains truth—(No)—the whole truth—(No, no)—and a
great deal more than the truth.—(Laughter.) The Times
newspaper said of the boroughs of Dorchester, speaking
of Bretport, Lyne, Shaftesbury, Weymouth, and Poole,
that since the passing of the Reform Bill nothing could
be so wretched and deplorable as their condition. Rates
were unpaid, shops were shut up, houses were deserted.
But, said the Times newspaper, there are two exceptions,
and those are Dorchester and Wareham. (A Voici'—
n Why they're pocket boroughs.")—(Laughter.) The
Right Hon. Gentleman proceeded at some length to say,
that in the first Reform Bill
Wareham was wholly
omitted, and Dorchester half disfranchised; that he pro-
tested against this, and that in the second Bill the Minis-
ters, finding that his protest was consistent with the
truth, reinstated those boroughs. After congratulating
himself on this result, and at finding that these were the
only two boroughs spoken well of politically, the Right
Hon. Member said he was afraid of detaining them, and.
if the weather had not been so very favourable, he hardly
knew that he should' have detained them so long. (A
Voice—" Is that the waypee

wished to get in in fair weather —(Laughtet)—and he
trusted that fair scathe);.. 'would continuo for the new
Administration.
(A . ei"---" About six weeks will
finish you all.)— (Loud laughter.) The friends of that
gentleman in London were getting a little restless. They
thought they bad been fora long time, deprived of the
comtorts ot office; they had
been out* of office now a
little more than a fortnight—(Laughter)—and they had
unluckily lost their places at a cold season of the year.
They had been turned out of their official homes and
obliged to go to their own houses, and they had not
happened to lay in any et

and he was not aurprised at their anxiety.
Their present plan was thist—The Whig Government,
with the aid of the Leaguers, intended to carry a resolu-
tion in the House of Commons M favour of their fuse-
cial policy. Well, they would carry that resolution;
but when they did what would that do? (A Voice—
" Shove, you out of office.") He would remind that gen-
tleman, who was no doubt deeply read in constital
history—(A laugh)—that the resolutions of one Parlia-
ment would not bind another Parliament at all. They
were tile records of opinion which Might be
good or might
be bad. The journals of the House of Commons were
full of such resolutions, and there were a few or them
that were remembered, but remembered only to be
laughed at. It was a most fortunate circum-
stance that the resolution of one
Parliament did
not bind future Parliaments; for, were it otherwise,
we should have in this kingdom no monarchy, no
