STATE OF TRADE.
<From the Manchester Guardian.of this day.)
• MANCHEiEIt, TIIESDAY.—The ieeeipte of cotton , at
all the American 'ports, up to the 11th inst. wore
2,742,009 bales against 2,102,000 at the corresponding
datelast year- and the accounts of the growing crop are
fully as decided as those, of last week in pointing to an
aggregate of 3,000,000 bales. Prices appear to have
yielded ,te. per lb; but a rally is reported to have subse-
quently taken place, raising the quotations to ie. per lb.
above those of the previous week; and anadvance-of
stated 6-have been realised at New Orleana. Yesterday
the Liverpool market was dull,
.with a alight advantage
in favour of buyers. To-day, however, a speculative
movement has been excited by the. trans-Atlantic intel-
ligence aheve stated; and, according to the telegraphic
secoulit4, the sales` amount to 18'• to 20,000 bales,
two-thirds of whiCh- are taken by speculators and
exporters, the
_gain in prices being id. per lb.
‘.upen' ~rates of Friday. These influences have

enabled to exhibit a general steadiness in yarns and
goods; and some operations in 16's to 24's water twist,
for China, with some considerable speculative pur-
chases of 20'a water, by German houses, have ren-
dered thee(' yarns rather dearer than they'were a week
ago. Some of these transactions appear.. to have been
entered into before the arrival of the Niagara; and,
therefore, the, hardening tendency in the spinnings
relerred to is.net• eolcly due to • her advices. Good 40's

the continent. But there is no general increase of
demand for yarns of any kind—not, even the water

Cops are steady;" as is also reeled mule below 40's,
and 40's end 50's, of Indian. quality. Goods adapted to
the Willi trade are, however, barely sustained in value;
but the better sorts of printing cloths, 26 a'nd 36 inches,
are rather improving. The m _nufacturers of domestics,
however, have still to. struggle for their advance of
1-16 d. per yard. The day has been marked by much
caution amongst the great body of buyers, who are little
inclined to go along with speCulatora in cotton.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had little change in
the flannel market to-day, either in price or the amount
of,business Onset:sled. The price of wool his heedfully
ansintaided;'and its present tendency is upward.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY:4)IIF manufacturers have
generally ben making a
...fair amount of sales
during the 1 pest ',week, and prices for such de-
scriptions of goods as are ;n demand are on the advance.
The stocks in the hands of manufaeturers are unusually
light. ThroWn Silk's—The market has been tolerably
active: The ;foreign orders continue to absorb a good
deal of euiphis stodx, Which prevents any`accumulation
of fine 'Pricei are locking up. Itaw
market has acquired additional firmness sinoo our lait,
although the business doing is not large, and chiefly
confined to speculators.

HALIFAX, LiATURDAY.,—In our piece hall, and in the
warehouses alsO, there is but little doing in worsted
goods, and prices are far from satisfactory.- The tone
of the yarn market is less encouraging. The merchants
are not willing to accede to the advance required by the
spinners, and, in all probability, the amount of produc •
tion will have to be lessened. Wools •are not active.
The steaks in the stapler's hands are low, and the quo-
tations exhibit much,firmness.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--OUT market Still con-
tinues very quiet. Very little trade has been done in
the hail; but some odd parcels of black and brown doe-
skins have been sold, at very low figures. Manufao-
turing isin a very languid state. The manufacturers
work cautiously. the very precarious state of..the wool
market warranting their doing so; for as the raw ma-
terial advances ia price, the manufactured goods fall,
there bang so small a deraand for them.

THE MAYNOOTH DEBATE YESTERDAY.
The Proteiitautista •of .the Ministry is. very like its
ProteCtionism. In two nights both have been brought to
the tea—both are found wanting. The. Earl of Derby
has given up the corn-fax; Al-. I)israeli the inquiry into
Mayneotb. The former has prejudgeil the decision of the
agricultural epnatituencies upon the one question, the latter
has done his beet to prevent Parliament from coining to any
decisiOn upon, the 'other. The Mitynooth debate came to
an issue:yesterday morning. All were ready to divide.
The. questions was- ripe fora division. Whit did the
mimstry—fut, after the speeches of Messrs.- Wal--
pole, Disraeli go Napier, sloe :Ministry end Mr.
Spooner are identical—what did the , Ministry do?
Four o'clock struck, and tho debate was well
nigh eridiid; when up rose Mr. .Feshfield from behind
her Msj a Ministers, e

posal.
resumed " after the , other orders of the day"—in
'Peek proposed that the debate bhould he
other words; at midnight 1 Stranger still, they
carried their proposition ! It is . true that
this success. -was mat gained altogether with-
out resistance. On the contrary, the endea-
vour viss made by, Mr. Anstey to compel the
adjourtitn'eiit to a more seasonable time--viz., to this
morning.„. But on' •thii morning • the Derby Stakes
will be losti and 'wou; and, as Mr. Anstey well
remarked, In the Conservative
,mind the Derby
element preponderates over the Protestant." So the
Hotta(' upon 4 two. diviner's rejected Mr. Anstey's
proPosition,--Messrs. Spooner end Newdegate, and
all her Majesty's Ministers voting its the majority.
Still a chunk' remained--for the Ministry, not for
the Oppeiftioh, The debate was adjourned until the
evening; albeit " to come on after the other orders."
Now, those who had charge " the other orders"--'
viz, Mr. Dtyncourt, Lord Robert arosvener, Mr.
Duncombe, and the' rest—had all expressed, each in,
his own fashion, their readiness to give way,; _and to
allow the atijCurned,' Maynuoth debate to • have . pre-
cedence. It was therefore veryo'ear to the Ministerial
-mind that, when the House resumed at eight o'eloek'
last night, it depended only upon Mr: Spooner and the'
'Blini*teris to secure precedence to that debate.
But to do sti it was necessary, first of all, and before
all, that at 8 o'clock a House should be "formed"-the
proper busfileseOf Ministers':
For the hopourof that "truly Protestant Admipistra-
tion," we regret to say that at 8 o'clock a House was
eel "formed"; that at least one Honourable
Member who ba stationed himself at the door used with
effect his influence to prevent Members from coming in
to " form" it; that, in less than *five minutes after eight,
the House was ignobly, "counted out," and that the so•
lemn pretence of an inquiry into the Maynooth grant is
now a,.."dropped order, and, as such, entombed with
all the Cepulets.-Daily News.

QUi 'VIE GENTLEMAN g
i ,(From -Eliza Cook's Journal) "
I Probably there are not two persons to pa found who
will giiii the same tlfi:lition of A .Gentlinan. Each
has his own individual notion of . the qualities which
ought to belong to that character.. ,OSe thinks it con-
sists of wealth, another in fine dress . and easy manners,
a third in a certain station in sooletY, and a fourth in
;politeness, inailty, and honourable bear-hlg•
The die.
tionary deanition is, " t very man above the rank of a
yeoman, bearing a coat of arms." Another _description
is, "Every • tir n Whoso occupation or income, raises him
above Menial service or an ordinary trade;" and so
on. Tbtne are, indeed, very loose and unsatisfaCtory
•definTtione. '

The waiter at .an inn calls him "Quite the Gentle-
man," who adds a liberal douceur to the bill, and for-
gets neitherboots,'hostler, or chambermaid. But -at the
Herald's office, there is many a gentleman registered—
many a real esquire,—whom waiters, without hesitatioa,
would pronounce to be "no Gentleman." And, this. is
the waiter standard*. • • ..

-The excluiive
scias3ea lave another test. What is his
family? is'he of the hluo blood? If OA common pud-
dls run IQ his veins, he is no Gentleman." •
Our ()Platen is, that the only true definition of A
Gentleman is—" A Man of true and noble character."
When you adopt this definition, you at once strip the
designation of all that is adventitious. You make the
title rest on true merit, not on accident—on peroonal
qualities, not on possession—on the inner man, and not
ou his cuter trappings.
Charatter is Nature, in its highest and best form.
Men of character are not only the conscience of society,
but they are also its motive power. For it is moral
qualities, after an, which rule the world; and the will
of the pure and strong flows down from them into other
natures, as water flowa down from a higher into &lower
level.

That rogue knew well the value of character, who said
to a MAU distinguished for his honesty--" I would give
ten thousand pounds forybur good same " Why so?"
asked the honest man. " Eecauae I could make _twenty
thousand by it," was the answer.
A Gentleman, who vaunts himself such in virtue of
his ancestry, lineage,"cr titular dignity, but is wanting
in the true qualities of a Man, is no better ia reality
than a servinglaan Who carries on his sleeve the badge
of some noble family, yet is himself an ignoble per-
son. Every gentleman must prove himself to be such
by his own life andeharacter, before he can lay claim to
the title. Ho must earn his dignity before he can justly
wear it.

The Gentleman must live after, a plan—his discipline
must he coniplete—his actions determines:l4)Y high-toned
principle, not by mean expediency. All particular acts
are to have reference to the general result. "He who
does not regulate'his'whole life," says Alontesquieu, " in
order to a certain end, has but little control over his par-
ticular acts in detail. It is' impeSsible for him •so to ar-
range the parts as to ferni a perfect whole, unless he
hes a well-defined plan of riving arranged in his head
and heart." By this means can only a pervading har-
mony in the whole life or t man ha secured.
The Gentleman - has a' high sense of honour—not in
points of etiquette and obseivtinea of the code of
fashionable -lite—hdt in regard to the avoidance of
mean setitins. 'His standerd of probity is high. The
Gentleinan does not shuffle nor prevaricate-: he does
net dodge or skulk: he is honest, truthful, straightfor-
ward: --his law is rectitude=action in, right lines.
When he says yes,' it is a law ; and 'he -dares, too,
to say the valiant no at the' fitting seasons. The
Gentleman feels that Truth" and Rectitude are the
commit of being ; and the soul of justice and right-
doing in human "affairs. " The Gentleman," says
Einerstin, " is a man of truth, lard of his own actions,
and expressing that lordship in his behaviour, not in any
manner dependant or servile, either on persons., or.opi-
nions, or possessions, Beyond this fact of truth, and
reel force, the word denotes good-nature or benevolence;
manhood first, and then gentleness."
The Gentleman is -distiaguished by his self respect.
He values his eharaoter—not so much of 'it' only as eQII
be seen of others, but as he sees it himself; he has a
regard for the approval of the inward monitor. And, as
ho respects himself, so, by the same law, will he respect
others. Iluininity is seared in his eyes: and thence
proceed politenest and forbearance, !sixth:Less sod charity.
It is related of Lord Edward Fitzgerald that, while tra-
velling in Canada, in company with the Indians, ho was
shocked by the sight of a poor squaw trudging along
laden with her husband's trapping',
While the chief him-
self walked on unencumbered. Lord Ed ward at once re-
lieved the squaw of her pack by placing it upon hill own
shoulders. Here was a beautiful instance of what the'
French call politesse de cceur,—the genuine politeness of
the heart.

The true Gentleman is under strict self-control.
Tho old Romans were in the right when employ-
ing the same word, virtu., to designate strength and
virtue; for there can be no victory, in truth, without
victory over ourselves; and to be victorious in virtue
needs strength and courage. For the same raison,
Temperance has always been included among the quali-
ties of the tree gentleman. For temperance tends to
keep the bead clear, the hands steady, the body health-
ful, and the morals pure. We me y sometimes hear of
a '' drunken gentleman;"there is even the proverbial
saying of " as drunk as a lord;" but, in either case, the
gentleman is of on altogether spurious character.
The true Gentleman is cheerful
even while be is most
in earnest. Chee:fulnese is indispensable to true warily

SPORTING INTELLIGEN CE.
EPSOM RACES.
The prevalence of a cold north-east wind, and the
dullness of the morning, gave little room for expectation
that the first day of the meeting would exhibit more
than the customary gathering of the sporting classei;
the unusual excitement, however, on the great event to
be decided this day, and the anticipation that sOmething
might turn up to occasion a charge in the •betting,
brought together a stronger muster than ordinary of
racing men, and a very fair show of general company.
Amongst the aristocratic and other leading patrons of
the tarf, wo noticed the Duke of Richmond, the Mar-
quises of Exeter and Drogheda ; Earls Chesterfield,

The particulars seibjeined will show the racing must
have left nothing to desire, either on the score of quan-
tity or interest; twe question, indeed, if a better list or
better sport was, ever known on the first day at Epsom.
The only drawbacks were the loss of time that arose
out of .the restiveness of some of the horses at the poet,
and the delay in displaying the numbers of the starters,
the latter easily to be remedied in future by strength-
ing the staff of the clerk of the scales. Those who
looked for any new feature In the Derby betting must
have bleu disappointed, we never knew is so dull, or so
little iefluencee by the money laid out.. The only
animals backed to any great amount were the two cracks,
ettelirof whom will be found quoted at a slight improve
ment on the prices returned from the Corner en Mon-
day.: Harbinger, Stockwell, Womersloy, and Daniel
O'Roerke were Weide, ; Alcoran, Claverhousee Kings-
ton, and Alfred the Great in'very little. demand; and
Orelio, Augur, and Chief Baron Nicholson friendless.
In the anticipation of an usual concourse to-day, the po-
lice will be considerably strengthened, and particular
instructions, we understand, have beeee given to prevent
the annoyances to which parties returning by the road
were exposed to last year; iu all other respects, the
preparations are on a scale commensurate with the oc-
casion. The following is a return of the racing yester-
day:—

,tiveness, a start was effected, ungerford getting away
with a decided lead, which he maintained half-way up
the hill, and then fell into the ruck. The running was
next taken up by Doctor Puff, followed by Ilex, Cavan,
and Snits, this lot remaining iu the.van until round the
turn into the straight running. Sanita, Butterfly,
and the Marinella colt now went in advance, and ran in
company to the half-distance, where Buttes fly obtained

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD
REFORM ASSOCIATION.
(CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDN:CSDAYS.)
Sir,—On Monday the 24th, the ." Corrupt Practices
at Elections" Bill was proposed for third reading. A
small but devoted band resisted the progress of the Bill.
After a chivalrous opposition, the Bill was read a third
time by a majority of 281 to 6.
The struggle was renewed, for a permisdon to candi-
dates in boroughs to give to the amount of five shillings
to each of the voters, or so many as would accept it.
But disheartened by the previous ill success, the sup-
porters of this amendment withdrew.
Oa an amendment for introducing the words" County,
Division of a County," the Government opposed with
an argument, which may be legitimately taken for the
measure of their inclination and their talent in execution.
They objected, that it would be impossible to disfran-
chise an extensive county, and therefore corruption in
counties was what it was absurd to legislate against.
They would lime put their argument on a broader basis,
if they bad said all England could not be diAranehised,
and therefore corruption in all England must take its
course. Besides which, it appeared on consulting the
Bill, that the Bill did not by any means rest upou the
power of disfranchisement, but on the cc ntrary was
directed simply to provide the means of inquiry and
" reporting to Her Majesty." The words relating to
Counties were finally inserted, by a majority of 109 to 71.
By another amendment, the words " University or
Universities" were inserted; and the Bill was finally
passed.
On the same evening a debate took place on the Poor
Law Board Continuance Bill; at the end of which the
Board carried the division by 112 to 33, and a subse-
quent division for fillicg up the blank with 1854 instead
of 1853, by 72 to 26. The question appeared in the
main to be one between metropolis and country.
The Colonial Bishops Bill (from the Lords) was de-
ferred for second reading till Thursday. This is entirely
a different Bill from the one mentioned a few days ago
ander the same title; and is a Bill "to enable Colonial
and :other Bishops
to perform certain Episcopal Func-
tions, under Commission from Bishops of England and
Ireland." Bishops other than Colonial, appear to mean
Bishops in the East Indies, &c., to which the term Co-
lony is not usually applied.
On Tuesday the House met at twelve o'clock, for the
purpose of proceeding with the motion on Maynooth.
The time till six o'clock was consumed in skirmishing,
of which it is impossible to report any result, except-that
at the conclusion of it a motion to adjourn the House
was resisted by 128 against 'B9, and on the House
peeing again at eight, it was immediately counted out.
The House had previously determined on itterising to
adjourn till Thursday.
I am, Sir, yours very sincerel.-,

GREAT MEN.
Henry Taylor, in" Philip van Artevelde," says some-
what sadly
" The world knows nothing of its greatest men."
We know absolutely nothing of the particulars of
Homer's life; darkness has enveloped the whole, and
not an incident or saying of his survives the lapse of
time. And this is true of many great thinkers; they mix
not in the noise of the crowd, said the world passes them
by with somewhat of contempt. Bat we know enough
gar;
of homer's life ito see that it endn
erhaps of sorraowbeg upon
earth; he was blind, they say,
and everywhere in his poems he manifestly feels at home
in the dwellings of the poor. But this is not the eue
with all; there are some lives that are poetical in the
thlitd de-
highest degree, full of poiesis, or action. Such was
Dante's, a life which they tell us is written in 6, colossal

The Rev. G. ersoksant ship chaplainchaplainand naval in-
structor of her Majesty's
Hon. Montagu Stopford, has obtained Admiralty leave
of absence for the space of one month.
The clisplaincer of the Monarch, 84, Captain C. Hope,
vacant by fablemoval of the Rev. Josiah Thompson to
the Impregn, flag-ship at Devonport, has not yet
been fined up, in cons( quence, it is said, of there being
no one on the active list of chaplains in the navy un-
employed. .
The following is an analysis of the recommendations
of the Select Committee appointed to investigate the
gateau hitherto in force in her Majesty's navy relative
to the mode of keeping the victualling accounts by the
paymasters and pursers, and to the remuneration of that
class of officers:—
" 1. That the present system should be abolished, and
that the paymasters and pursers should be placed on a
fixed scale of pay, and in proportion to the duties they
have to perform.
" 2. That they be divided into seven classes, and that
the promotion from one class to another depend on the
faithful discharge of their duties.
"3. That the number of paymasters and pursers, at
present amounting to 474, be reduced to 340, and that
the number of widows receiving pensions be limited
to 162.
"4. That a liberal scale of half-pay be •`• ms.auted, as
well as a limited retirement." _

..sib©rreport also recommends a tirailar plan to be
adopted with respect to the payrat.sters' and pursers'
stewards and assistants. By the plan thus suggested
the ultimate reduction in the pureny establishment Will
amount to 34,7971. annually.
