STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, july 22.—The market for shipping
yarns since Tuesday has assumed a very quiet
aspect, and we have had little or no change to-
day. There has been a little inquiry for yarns for
some of the distant markets, and also for the Medi-
terranean. Buyers for Germany and Russia have
done some little business in yarns of good quality,
for which they have had to pay extreme prices. The
market on the whole closes rather quiet. For home
trade yarns the market has been quiet, but firm.
Although but little business has been done, there
is no change in prices. The small stock cf cotton in
Liverpool has, of course, a tendency to keep prices
firm here. The cloth market continues much in the
state described on Tuesday. There is very little
business doing for any market, and yet cloth keeps
very firm. Manufacturers hold to former quotations,
which are still much behind what the rate for cotton
and yarn would justify, but at the same time buyers
show the same timidity and want of confidence
which has so long kept them from following the
upward tendency of the market. The business done
since Tuesday has been exceedingly small. The
India telegrams are expected to-morrow.
CARDIFF, 21st.—Scarcity of water causes serious
inconvenience and loss at the works on the hills,
and partial stoppages have been the result in several
instances; The ironmasters have a good number
of orders on the books, and the trade generally is
in a fairly satisfactory state. Since the last Staf-
fordshire meeting prices have been rather unsettled,
but owing to the reduction by the Staffordshire
houses, buyers are able to place their specifications
for Welch iron at from 2s fid to 5s per ton lower
than a month ago. There is a moderate amount
of business doing in steam coal, and the reports
from the foreign markets are encouraging. as to the
future. Quotations are not quite so firm, although
no material reduction has taken place. house coal
commands an average sale, and coke shows no

change.
NOTTINGHAM, al.—There WEIS about the usual
attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the
demand for lace yarns was firm, at fully late rates.
The demand for hos:ery Tarns was slow, but ex-
treme prices were maintained. Silks were quite
as dear. For brown nets the demand was only
moderate, but sellers held for a small advance,
whieL W%gi difficult to reali4e.

HER MAJESTY.

OSBORNE, July 22.

The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High-
nesses Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice,
drove in the grounds yesterday morning.

In the afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by
their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Louis
of Hesse and Prince William of Prussia, and
attended by Colonel the Hon. A. Hardinge, paid a
visit to Prince and Princess Leiningen at West
Covvee.

DENMARK.

A communication from Copenhagen of the 16th
says:—"The discussion on the Address in the
Landsthing yesterday lasted three hours and a half,
and terminated by the adoption of a second reading.
The Ministry had demanded the rejection of the
draft. But although the President of the Council
declared that the Government did not attach any
great importance to the modifications to be intro.
duced into the document, the Ministry has met
with a little cheek which has its signification,
because it shows that the situation as regards
the Rigsraad is about to become difficult if not
impossible. The discussion on the Address in the i
Volkething will probably commence on the 18th
instant, and there is every reason to believe that it
will be oven more animated than in the First
Chamber. The peace party has become most active,
and carries on its propagandism with as much zeal
as the war party did before the Danish military
disasters. The Chamberlain Berner-Schilden, who
has large landed property in Jutland, is having an
address circulated and signed in favour of peace,
which contains serious recriminations against the
Ultra party, whose organs in such critical circum-
stances do not spare the august person of the King,
It is a mistake, however, to suppose that the party
of the Eider is resigned and w ithont defence. On
the contrary its organs resume their habits of oio•,
lence, although events are so unfavourable to them.
This may be seen by the energy with Nthich the
Dagblad attacks M. Berner-Sehilden and his
address."

ever since the commencement of this most wretched

most confusedly. Nevertheless, out of all their cus-

WRECK OF A LARGE EMIGRANT SKIP.

ARKLOW, IRELAND, THURSDAY NIGHT.

The Rev. R. E. Eaton reports:—" The lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution went out this morning to a
large vessel on the banks, and returned in tow of a
steamer, having 250 passengers on board. As the vessel
remains on the banks, with the crew on board, I have sent
out the lifeboat again, Captain Balfour, R.N., Inspecting
Commander of the Coast Guard having gone off in her,
The ship proved to be the Constitution, from Liverpool to
New York. I will send further particulars by next poet.

" A communication from the Amtmann of
the district, dated yesterday, informs us that
Mejor-General E. von Bornhorst has required of
the town of Viborg a war contribution of 50,000
Prussian dollars as compensation for the captured
Prussian ships, and failing payment has threatened
compulsory measures. The municipal council thinks
it right to state that, while we believed it most
conducive to the interests of the town to famish to
the u'in,:st of our power the supplies required for
the ELub istence of the Pinssiau troops, it would not
accord with our laws, and, following the orders re-
e2ived upon the subject from our Goyernment.wauld
violate the duty we owe to king and country if we
took any steps to furnish the required amount.
White we beg, therefore, to convey this determina-
tion to the Amtmann, we consider it necessary to
add that, even were we ever so willing, the pay-
meat of the sum demanded would be completely im-
possible."

This bill was read a second time.
The Promissory Notes and Bills of Exchange (Ireland)
Bill passed through committee.
The Customs and Inland Revenue Bill also passed

The Naval and Victualling Stores Bill was read a third
time and passed.
COLONIAL GOVERNORS.

The Earl of HARDWICKE moved for the production of

the Colonial .office and the governors of colonies with respect
to retiring allowances.
The motion was agreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
NEW MEMBER.

Mr. WATx.nr took the oaths and his seat on his election
for Stockport, in the room of Mr. Kerskqw, deceased.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Garstang and Knot End Railway Bill, and the
Nottingham Gas Bill were read a third time and passed.
Lord IL CECIL gave notice that on this day month he
would renew his motion on the subject of the manner in
which the private business of the house was conducted.

THE WAR WITH ASHANTEE.
Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary of State for the Colo-
nies whether it was true that war had been commenced
with Ashantoe ; whether precautions had been taken to
meet the drain of life which must ensue in so deadly a cam-
paign ; and whether a largely increasing expenditure may
be looked for in consequence in the Gold Coast Colony.
Mr. CARDWELL said that in the course of last year a
war broke out between the Government of Ashantee and
the tribes in the neighbourhood friendly to us, which was
still going on. Reinforcements had been sent out to our
allies, and every precaution was taken for the health of the
soldiers who had been sent out to the scene of warfare, and
the object which the Government had in view was to pre-
vent a continuance of the hostilities by rigorous measures.
PROVISIONS AT BERMUDA.
Mr CLAY asked the Under Secretary for War whether
any information had been received respecting the excessive
demand for, and consequent high price of, provisions and
accommodation at Bermuda; and, if so, whether her
Majesty's Government intended to make a colonial allow-
ance for officers on duty in that island ?

The Marquis of HA.RTIN GTON said that Government
had received a communication from the commanding officer
at Bermuda as to the price of provisions there, and direc-
tions had been given that the officers should have provisions
for themselves and their wives at contract prices, but it was
not considered necessary to make any such allowance as
that alluded to.
CLAIMS OF INDIAN OFFICERS.

Lord STANLEY asked the Secretary of State for India
whether he would lay upon the table his proposed despatch
relative to the claims of Indian officers, reported upon by
the late Commission, previous to the issuing of any warrant
by the Crown bearing on that question, SO that the house
might have an opportunity of considering the plan therein
proposed before a final decision should have been come to ?
Sir C. WOOD was understood to say the course sug-
gested was not in conformity with Parliamentary practice.

TEETH,—Mr. ESK F,LL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set or teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eskell's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.

PARIS, MAY 11.

In his speech in the Corps Legislatif yesterday
M. Rouher, Minister, President of the Council of
State, spoke as follows respecting the maintenance

of peace
"Peace at present rests upon serious guarantees.
I have pleasure in repeating with M. Berryer that
peace is in the hands of France. But France will
only open her hand when compelled to defend her
honour or the inviolability of her frontiers. As re-
gards the sad conflict in the north of Europe we
may now hope that a pacific solution will be
effected. I cannot believe that the Great Powers
have met in London to obtain no result. I prefer
to believe that M. Berryer has allowed himself to
be carried away by the anticipations of a gloomy

pessimism.

The Frice of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per Dante pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.174 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English 31int price of .£3
17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
By advises from Hamburg, the price of gold is 420 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.04 per £1 stcrlin4.
standard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ilamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 203 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 62 per cent. At these rates there is a:profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

The Defeat of General Banks,

Mr. Lindsay, M.P., in a letter to a contemporary
writes :—I enclose an extract from the letter of an
English friend of mine who is at present on a visit
to New Orleans. lam not aware that he has any
Southern predilections, and he seems to give the
facts as they came before him.
Considering how much the people of this country
have suffered by a war, which from the first aps
peared to me to be as vain as it is now terrible, I
think it is time we expressed some opinion in Par•
liament as to the folly and wickedness of continuing
a war which must end in the separation of the
Southern from the Northern States of America.

We, by our silence, tacitly admit that there is a
prospect of the restoration of the Union, and we are
silent spectators of a struggle Ni here perhaps more
life has been wantonly sacrificed in three years than
in any war between civilised nations in either
ancient or modern times, while, so far as we can
judge from the opinions expressed by those persona
we daily meet, there is not one thoughtful man out
of every hundred in this country conversant with
the subject who says, or believes, that the broken
Union can be restored.

"New Orleans, April 16.

"My object in now addressing you is to an-
nounce a dreadful defeat of General Banks, He
attacked Kirby Smith with an army of 30,000
men, the latter only having 20,000. He has lost
9,000 men, all his artillery (36 pieces), ammuni-
tion, and baggage, and was obliged to retreat de-
moralised, although the Government organs of this
city have given an account of a flaming victory,
when it is quite the reverse. I conversed with a
Yankee soldier yesterday who was present at the
' three-day fight,' as they call it. He says they
had a fair fight in the open, that the rebels went at
it with the fury of an avalanche which nothing
could withstand, and the Union troops skedaddled
tenfold faster than at Bull's-run. He says their
cavalry, which was 9,000 Strong, could not now
form an efficient brigade. Troops are sent for
from all quarters. Government have impressed all
the steam on the liver to reinforce the General, so
that this place is being swept. He says the rebels are
well clothed and booted, indeed as well as it is pos-
sible to be. lam sorry for Banks; because he is a
very good fellow."

THE COUNCIL OF EDUCATION:

Lord R. CECIL asked the Vice-President of the Com-
mittee of Council on Education when the " Supplementary
Rules" recently issued by the Committee of Council would

Mr. BRUCE said that the rules referred, to had been

THE NEW NATIONAL GALLERY,

Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Commissioner of

the estimate for the erection of a r
.ew National Gallery at
Burlington House, and whether 'tie would state the terms
upon which the National Ga'l,,e,ry in Trafalgar•squate was
proposed to be given up to the Royal Academy.
Mr. COWPER said t.nat he did not propose to move the
estimate in question cn Thursday. With reference to the
other part of the rAestion of the hon. member he thought
it was necessary to deliberate before coming to a decision.

Central Criminal Court--This Day,

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Williams.)
ALLRGED MANSLAUGHTER.

' John Stephens, carrying on the business of herbalist in
Whitechapel, surrendered to an indictment charging him
with the manslaughter of a boy named William Proby,
aged 15.

The father of the boy, a labouring man living at Eastfield-
street, Limehouse, finding his son very unwell, went to the
defendant's shop and described the symptoms to the defen-
dant, and he gave him some pills and powders which
were administered to the deceased Some ointment
was also given for outward application. The lad
became very much worse, and ultimately died on March 20.
Previously to his death he was attended by a regular medi-
cal practitioner, and from certain circumstances coming to
the knowledge of the authorities an inquest was held, and
the contents of the deceased's stomach was sent to Dr.
Letheby for analysation. The report of Dr. Letheby
stated that the deceased had been suffering from a diseased
hip-joint, but in the stomach a large quantity of cayenne
pepper was discovered, which it was now sought to show was
improperly administered by direction of the defendant, and
had produced the inflammation of which the boy died:
The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

FOURTH COURT,
The Recorder was occupied with the trial of three men
named Heath, Ansel', and Brammond, who were indicted for
stealing, and the latter with receiving some engravings, but
the case was one of not the least public interest.
The New Court and Third Court were not sitting when
