NAVAL INTELLEGENCE

PROMOTIONS.
The following clerks have bee❑ promoted to the
rank of paymaster :
William Holmes Turner (1841), second in se-
niority on the list, in charge of the Minden store-
ship, Hong-Kong ; Francis G. Pearce (1844), Bth
on the list, late in charge of the Athol store-ship,
Coast of Africa; Henri Charles Pool (1844), 9th, of
the Saturn, flag-ship, Pembroke; Thomas Alexander
Telfer (1844), 10th, numbered as belonging to the
Hercules, but not found in the list of officers of that
ship ; J. E. Stiles (1844), 11th, in charge of the
Trident steam-vessel, en route to the Pacific ; James
William Murray Ashby (1844), 12th ; James Charles
Pinhorn (1844), 14th, late in charge of the Janus
steam-vessel (the fourth clerk promoted from that
ship) ; William Henry Mugford (1844), 15th, not
employed for some time, accu:ding to Navy List ;
and Richard Curgenven (1844), 16th, of the Edin-
burgh screw gunnery-ship.
We perceive that Mr. E. J. H. Helpman (1842),
the fourth senior on the list, remains a clerk still.
That he is clerk in charge of the missing Arctic ship
Terror (one of Franklin's ex -edition), and may never
be heard of any more, can he no excuse for passing
this officer over ; for mates, lieutenants, and com-
manders of the missing ships have been promoted, and
the chief has had the good service pension conferred
upon him. The poor clerk, however, has been always
passed over.

The above promotions are made, we presume, as a
preliminary to the new regulations for the paymasters
and clerks. Herald.

Clerks Assistants—The following have been ad-
mitted into the navy and received appointments :

flag-ship, Portsmouth; W. G. N. Burney and
Hills, to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship, Sheerness ;
G. T. M. Fellow, to the Impregnable flag-ship,
Devonport.
The committee nominated to consider the best
method of converting Mr. Lang's three-decker Royal
Albert into a screw-ship, composed of Mr. Laire,
master shipwright, of Chatham ; Mr. Abethell, of
Portsmouth ; Mr. Rice, of sheerness ; Mr. Ather-
ton, chief engineer at Woolwich; and Mr. Murray,
chief engineer at Portsmouth, are engaged in their
task. We presume Mr. Lang, the veteran architect,
is the chairman of this committee, although his name
has not been mentioned. We cannot help thinking
that these committees are getting too numerous.
Everything now a days requires a committee's re-
port. The office of Surveyor of the Navy almost
seems to be superseded. It would be much better if
the Somerset-house departments of the navy were
permanently increased, and the dockyard officers kept
at their respective establishments.—Herald.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS, -
WAKEFIELD, OCT. I.—The supply is good for wheat,
and only moderate of spring corn. For old wheat we
have more inquiry at full prices; the best samples of new
nac.ot a fair sale at rather less money, and inferior sorts
are taken slowly at is decline. Barley is in good request
at Is. advance. Oats and shelling meet a retail sale at
late prices. Beans steady.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. I,—The supply
offering is so limited that the amount of business done
here this week is necessarily small, but prices have been
well supported. Refiners' produce meets a steady sale,
and some deicriptions are rather dearer. Rum is still
very quiet—Bristol Mercury.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, OCT. I.—Transactions in
foreign wools have been very moderate in extent this
week, and chiefly for the supply of present requirements.
There has been no apparent variation in prices.
ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, OCT. I.—There has been a
moderate amount of business done this week, and prices
are firm with an upward tendency.
LIVERPOOL WOOL, SEPT. 30.—More doing in wool,
and prices firm. Mogadore, Turkey, &c., are wanted
for the United States. Imports the past week consist of
—416 Buenos Ayres, 3,000 Alpaca, 180 Peruvian, 1,420
Oporto and Lisbon, 161 East India, 660 Mogadore, and
25 Trieste and Alexandria.

TRADE OF LLEDS.—There was not so good a market
on Saturday as we have had during several preceding
weeks, for although there was a good attendance of
merchants in the Cloth Halls, they bought very care-
fully. On Tuesday also there was a falling off, and
only a very moderate business was done. Mixture
cloths, both single and double milled, constituted the
principal demand. The stock of cloth in the Halls is
exceedingly low, and of very poor choice; probably
this may in some measure account for the state of the
market. There is a fair country trade in heavy goods,
suitable for winter, doing in the warehouses. The ship-
ping houses are mostly quiet. Wo believe there has
been a good general trade done, quite an average during
the month that has just closed. We do not remember
that the staple trade of this town was over in a more
healthful state than it is at present; a larger business
may have been done, but not a sounder legitimate trade.
BRADFORD, SEPT. 30.—The trade of this district is
characterised by light stocks, a full demand for goods,
and such high prices in the raw materials, wool and cot-
ton, with an upward tendency, as to render the employ-
ment of capital comparatively unremunerative.

TRADE OF MANCHESTER:SEPT. 30.—Yarns of almost
all counts and qualities continue in good demand, and
prices have been farther strengthened by advice. brought
to hand from the United States yesterday, to th• effect
that cotton had still an upward tendency. Cop yarns
are a good deal sought after by manufacturers, as also
are 40's to 60's mule twist suitable to the India markets.
In cloths there is little change to report. Printers
are not so much inquired for, but they go off still in
large quantities, and at full prices. For 36-inch and 40
to 45-inch shirtings there is also a good deal of business'.
For light domestics, T, and long cloths, there is but it
moderate business. The market generally is firm and
healthy.
TRADE OF LEICESTER.—There is no material falling
off in the demand except the glove branch. The home
trade is steady, and the emigration to Australia has
caused an influx of orders, particularly for shirts and
drawers. Worsted spinners still complain of the inade-
quate price yarns realize in proportion to the rise of
wools. There is no giving way by the -woolstapler, who
holds firmly, and the prices of sorts remain stationary,
noils and brokes being most in demand.

tive. The only transactions reported to• day were—Taff

LIVERPOOL, Oar. 1.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—We have to note a trifling improve-
ment to-day in our share market, as compared with the state
of business for some days previously, but operations are far
from active, and the quotations of London and North-
Western Stock, in particular, are subjected to very great
fluctuation. The transactions were as follow :—Birkenhead,

" IT'S THE WEIGHT THAT TELLS."—The day be-
fore Lockerby mar ket the Crossdyke ewes were offered to an
intending purchaser at 238. To this price the buyer demur-
red, but proposed tto give 3d. a pound, the ewes to be weighed
after having been driven a distance of ten miles without food,.
This was agreed to, and by the scales, the average at the rate
fixed made the price 255. 6d. The ewes had lost 71b. by their:
walk and fast.
