both the raw material and of goods are the same as
last week.

LEICESTER, 3d,—There has been a good deal of
activity in the hosiery trade during the past week.
All departments of business have been busy, except
the glove branch manufsetnrers, being well engaged
with orders on hand. In the country districts busi-
ness is healthy. The wool market is quiet, but prices
continue very high. Yarns are very firm, and extreme
rates are realised, spinners being fully employed.
MANCHESTER, 3d.—The market has been ex-
ceedingly fist throughout the week, On Tuesday
there were some hopes of a reaction consequent on
advices of diminished stocks and a considerable
rise of prices in India. The near approach,
however, of the Presidential Election in America
and the uncertainty as to how far the peace party
may influence events during the next two months
tend to paralyse the strongest nerves. Those who
wish to keep up prices, however unfavourable to the
Federals have reason to deprecate for the present
any success to their opponents which may threaten
the chances of Lincoln and stop the war, for an•
doubtedly the prospect of such events has a tendency
to throw commercial affairs here into a state of
chaos which nobody can foresee the end of. Most
people seem to think the end of the struggle may
be near, and many heartily wish that it may be so ;
but it is feared, nevertheless, as fraught with many
serious evils, and prudent man are inclined as much
as possible to wait and lessen, rather than increase,
their risks at the present moment. Buyers are
consequently showing unusual timidity, and it is
difficult even to get offers of any magnitude. The
Indian mails seem to have bronght few orders of

an.. imperative character, so that very little business
(almost nothing) is doing by shippers to Bombay
and Calcutta, while buyers for others markets are
doing exceedingly little. Prices are in favour of
buyers, but generally speaking, the market retains
more firmness than might be expected under the
circumstancee.

The prince and princess, with the infant prince
and suite, left Abergeldie at ten o'clock on Saturday
morning and posted to Aboyne, where they found
at,special train waiting for them, and started in it
shortly after twelve. Aberdeen was passed at 12.58 ,
and the journey thence to Dundee was calculatod
to occupy two hours. The royal suite included the
Earl and Countess Spencer, the Countess de Grey,
General Knollys, Major Teesdale, &c. The Lon.
don and North-Western Railway Company provided
a saloon carriage for their royal highnesses an their
journey.

NEWCASTLE- 01`TTYNE, 3d.—The high rate of in.
tercet seems to be affecting the trade of the north-
eastern counties somewhat, and business has been
quieter this week. The freight market is decidedly
weaker in all its branches, and at present there is a
tolerably ample supply of tonnage in the ports, The
business done in the iron market at Middlesborough

The royal party were expected to arrive in Duna
dee about three o'clock, and long before that hour
the streets were crowded with the teeming popu-
lation of the town, and with thousands of persons
who had been brought by excursion trains from the
neighbouring towns and villages. At half-past two
o'clock a rumour was circulated through the crowd
that the Royal party would embark at Broughty
Ferry, about four miles down the Firth of Tay from
Dundee. On inquiry the report turned out to be
only too true, at least so far as regarded the inten
tions of the Royal party themselves. Several tel a.
grams were received at the platform of the Scott'.sh
North-Eastern Railway Station, stating that it was
fully intended to embark at Broughty Ferry, and,
as if to corroborate the statement, the Royal yacht
Osborne was seen to sail down the Firth and anchor
close to the pier at Broughty Ferry. At this critical.
moment the magistrates of Dundee, alarmed at the
evident misunderstanding, sent off the senior bailie
(Mr Owen) and Mr Kerr, the town clerk, to meet the
Prince of Wales at the Ferry, and to state that the
whole public of Dundee were in the streetslinsiously
waiting to see the royal pair, and that the disap
pointment to them would be of a very serious kind
should the expected visit not be paid. The muni.a
cipal deputation found that it was from an idea th at
the tide would be lost by the delay that the inte,n.
tion of coming to Dundee had been altered. rale
commander of the royal yacht, who was at Broughty
to receive the royal party, was consulted aboal the
matter, and after making a computation respecting
the tide, he assured the Prince that the embarluttion
could take place from Dundee without any risk of
the kind anticipated. The order was then given to
go on to Dundee, and the train arrived there at 20
minutes past three o'clock. A further detention of
10 minuted then took place, for the carriages of the
Earl of Camperdown had, according to the sudderi
instructions received an hour before, gone off to
Broughty, and while the train was coming up they
were rushing up the road at full speed, while the
royal yacht Osborne was again making her passage
up the Firth. At half-past three everything was
ready, and, preceded by the carriages of the town
council, the Prince and Princess, who were received
with a tremendous cheer, both as they entered and
left the station, rode through the surging mass,
whose ardour could not be abated, for, notwithe
standing barriers, special constables, and police, a
wave of people followed the Earl of Campers
down's carriage, in which the Prince and princess
were seated, and at the, wheels of which his lord-
ship walked, struggling at every moment with the
impetuous crowd. An extraordinary spectacle
was presented in Dock-street.k Not only was the
area crowded to excess, but the windows and
housetops on the one side, and the bulwarks, rig-
ging, and masts on the other, were literally alive
with human beings. There were no barriers, unfor•
tunately, in the other streets except at the turn-
ing points; and though the people, as a general
rule, kept their places remarkably well, a few of
the more ardent were always breaking through the
line, and though the interruptions were of a good•
natured kind, yet at some points were of rather an
alarming character, and but for the most strenuous
exertions of the Earl of Camperdown and other
gentlemen to check the foremost of the crowd the
passage would speedily have been blocked up.
Nothing could exceed the heartiness of the recep-
tion of the prince and princess, who, being in an
open carriage, were in the view of everybody, and
they very graciously acknowledged the salutations
of the crowd. At the corners of the streets, as the
carriage of the royal party came in view, the cheer-
ing was most exuberant, and thousands of hats and
handkerchiefs were waved from the windows and
above the heads of the populace. The crowds in
the streets were chiefly of the working classes, and
many of them had just been set free from their
labours, with the smoke and dust of the factories
still upon their faces. The drive through the town
occupied a quarter of an hour, and the quay wag
reached at a quarter to four.
At this quay, in the centre of the docks, at which
Queen Victoria lauded in September, 1844, on her
second visit to Scotland, and at the head of which
stands the triumphal arch commemorative of the
Royal visit, the volunteers of the local battalion.
were drawn up, and the accesses to it were strictly'
guarded. The royal carriage only was admitted,
and the departure took place from a floating jetty.
A large party was admitted to witness the royal
departure, including the Earl of Camperdown,
Lord Kinnaird, Lord Lucie, Sir John Ogilvy, Sir
David Ross (Lord Provost of Perth), Sir David
Baxter, Mr. Sheriff Heriott, and the provost, ma.
giatrates, Ez.c. Before the arrival of the royal party
a good deal of rain had fallen, but the weather was
quite fine during their progrsse through the town.
At the embarkation, however, a heavy shower fell
and continued for above an hour. Owing to the
change in the araangements, the prince and princess
were detained at the ferry for a quarter of an hour
waiting the arrival of the royal barge. The crowds
on the quays and on the shipping had an excellent
view of the prince and princess; and, as they era•
barked in the barge, the cheers of the multitude,
mingled with the loyal strains of the volunteer band,
t;.tve them a hearty and hop,fal goodbye. The hirge
then Mood out in the river, and reached the Osborne
about a quarter past four, the arrival on board beg
ing intimated by an artillery salute from a battery
near the docks. About half-past four the infant
prince and his nurses embarked in another barge
amid the cheers of the multitude, the band of the
volunteers playing the National Anthem. A large
number of steamers, with crowds on board, sailed
down the Firth after the royal squadron, and con.
voyed them to the mouth of the Tay. Darkness
closed in when the royal vessels were last seen on
their way across the North Sea.

this week is reported as limited. Prices there have
a hardening tendency, however. The demand for
iron to be used in local consumption and for exporta-
tion is very good. It is stated that the eZtensive
iron works of Messrs. Bolckow and Vaughan, at
Middlesborough, Easton, Shildon, and Witton Park
will become the property of a limited liability com-
pany in January. The whole of the capital required
has been subscribed, almost exclusively at Manches-
ter. Several high class iron ships have been
launched in the northeastern ports this week. The
Dalmatia, of over 1,390 tons, and an iron screw
steamer of 1,415 tons, were launched, the first from
the building yard of Messrs Denton, Gray, and
Co., the second from the yard of Messrs Pile,
Spencer, and Co., of Hartlepool, on Thursday ; and
this afternoon Messrs Palmer Brothers, of Jarrow,
launched a magnificent steamship, the Ontario, of
over 3,000 tons, the largest iron ship built on the
Tyne, and intended for the National Company of
Liverpool.

ments to the Editor, and begs to enclose copy of a
correspondence which he has had with the Home-
office on the subject of the most oppressive and
unjust sentence psssed upon Isaac Watson by the
magistrates at Duffield for refusing to attend
church on Sunday.

\Vold, was summoned before the Rev G. T. Clare, the
Rev 11. Foord, and Mr J. Grimeton, and charged by
George Lyons, Mrs Harrison's manager, with refusing to
attend church on Sunday, being requested by his mistress
to do so. The defendant was ordered to attend some place
of worship and to pay expenses."
I shall be obliged it you will causo the correctness of this
statement to be inquired into, and if you will inform me,
should it prove correct, under what act of Parliament the
the magistrate's sentence has been pronounced.—l have
the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant,

trates at Duffield of refusing to attend a place of worship on
Sunday, and I am to acquaint to your lordship that it ap-
pears by a report from the magistrates that the defendant

ing the orders of his employer, to whom he had hired him-
self for a year, and who desired him to attend a place of
worship once every Sunday.—l have the honour to be, my
lord, your lordship's obedient humble servant,

DUNDEE, Saturday ii 77 `,' fy-,c,
i...' ----
On Saturday afternoon the Prince and , Iss ,-,--.-- -i)
of Wales met with almost enthusiastic rezeptiou a S
from the inhabitants of Dundee on the of icasion of
tha embarkation of their royal highness's s for Den-
mark. For some days previously great excitement
prevailed in the town in anticipation of the visit of
the prince and princess, and the anti:4T first of loyal
feeling and enthusiasm on Saturday all the part of
the people has certainly been unequak led since the
visit of her Mejesty to Dundee in Se Ttember 1844
—exactly 20 years ago.
The corporation of Dundee nat txrally wished
that the demonstration should be a public one,
and that the inhabitants should have an oppor,
tunity of seeing the prince and princess ; but in
the official intimation of the embarkation re•
ccived by the provost, the desire of the
prince, as conveyed by Sir Charles Wood, was
to the effect that there should bo no public de.
monstration of any kind, but that everything
should be carried out in the quietest and most
private manner possible. However, at a meeting
of the Harbour Trustees on Friday, held for the
purpose of making the necessary arrangements, the
Earl of Camperdown stated that his son, Lord
Duncan, had been instructed by the prince to in•
form him that hie royal highness would place himself
at the disposal of the magistrates for a short time.
It was accordingly agreed, in order that the public
might have a good opportunity of seeing the prirwe
and princess, that a procession should be formed
from the railway station, along Dock-street, up
Castle-street, to High-street, and Nethergate,
and down Union-street, to the Mid Quay— a
distance of about a mile and a half. The ruagis.
traces issued a proclamation informing the inha-
bitants that ample opportunity would be afforded
to all to see their royal highnesses, and urging the
citizens to show the Queen, by their orderly con-
duct, how they loved her and her children, and to
show the noble Danes how their royal daughter was
valued.
