STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Jan, 18.—The yarn market is still very
quiet, and business appears to be all but suspended. There
has been rather more inquiry, but the object does not appear
to have been so much with an intention of buying as of test-
ing prices. Some offers have been made for export yarns,
including India mule, but at rates too low for acceptance.
Home made yarns are still flatter than shipping yarns, and
there has been next to nothing doing in them. In these,
prices are id to ld per lb. lower than last week, but even
this reduction fails to attract purchasers. We hear of great
irregularity in quotations, ant a still greater discrepancy
between the offers of purchasers in some cases and those of
others. Spinners, however, though willing to make some
concession, are not prepared to accept the sacrifice which
such offers would involve, and without it there is little or no
disposition to business. The market has rarely been so in-
active. In the cloth market the same stagnation prevails.
Many manufacturers aro very firm in adhering to late quo-
tations, but buyers will not listen to them. Some offers
have been made, but at prices which precluded the hope of
arrangement. To effect sales manufacturers would cer
tainly have to take prices considerably under those of last
week. No doubt the extreme flatness of the Liverpool cotton
market yesterday and to-day has reacted upon business
here. Probably the floods of light thrown upon the cotton
question by trade circulars, some of them of a rather sensa-
tional character like the current literature of the day, have
also some effect upon business. The general result, at all
events, seems to have been to induce a strong impression in
favour of lower prices prevailing.
CARDIrF, 7th,—The iron trade is active. The advanced
quotations are maintained with firmness, and there is no
difficulty in booking orders. Scotch pig warrants have
declined 2s to 3s per ton during the last few days. The
decks are crowded with ships, and the steam coal collieries
aro on full time. If the present demand for steam coal
continues the new docks will be required before the founda-
tion stone is laid. The cold weather has given an impetus
to the house coal trade, and prices are firmer than has been
the case for a lonr, time.
NOTTINGHAM, Bth.—The attendance on 'Change to-day
was very limited, many of the znattufacturers being engaged

TEETH.—Mr. ESKELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following aevantages :—A set of 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 moieth 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.

TATTERSALL'S-THE NEW PREMISES,

(From the Field.)

This important arena, with its several buildings, is now
in a sufficiently advanced state to show the general design
of the architect, and give a definite notion of the extensive
arrangements which are being made for the increased ac-
commodation and comfort of its subscribers and the genera
public. The plot of ground upon which it stands is nearly
two acres in extent. It is approached from the east by
Knightsbridge-green, near Sloane-street, and the façade
consists of two square wing-blocks of yellow brick with
Portland stone dressings, pierced with six windows on the
two floors, and surmounted by stone parapets with ball ter-
minals. These blocks are divided by a pedimented gateway,
beautifully carved, and two side entrances. The left-hand
block is dedicated to the subscribers, the tight to the secre-
tary's offices, business departments, harness rooms, and the
private dwellings of the superintendents. Although the en-
trance presents a comparatively narrow face, the space
within gradually enlarges through a depth of 300 ft., until it
increases to more than double the width of the facade. The
subscription•room is approached by a side foot entrance,
and railed off from the centre road so as to preserve to its
frequenters the utmost possibly privacy ; it is entered by
lofty folding-doors. It is a magnificent saloon of elegant
proportions, being GOft by 30ft, while a clear height of 26ft
Gin is obtained. It is lighted by day by two large domes ISft
high, covered with lunette lights, each formed of one large
piece of glass. A third dome is in the centre of the ceiling,
in which an enormous sun-burner is placed to illuminate
the whole by night.
The principle—which is that of Messrs. Forrest and son,
of Fetter-lane—is peculiar, as by a duplex arrangement the
whole of the ceiling is brilliantly lighted, and not thrown
into shadow or half. tint , as by most of the ordinary means.
These domes are already bordered by a beautiful guilloche
pattern, and will be enriched with coloured devices. The

Campbell at the time contrived to effect his escape, but having
received inforination, John Cook, police-constable, 198 S,
apprehended him on the morning of Dec. at 47, Dudley-
street, Seven-dials, when he was told that ho was charged
with being concerned with axother man named John Goff,
alias Jerry Cotter, with breaking and entering the house at
No. 5, Hamilton-street, Camden Town, on Christmas night,
and stealing a quantity of property, he replied in the phrase.
ology of a thief. " I hope you are not getting this up for me.
If the 'slop raps' (the policeman) swears to me, with my
character, I shall get something for this." He was told
that he must go to the station-house, and that there he
would have nothing but fair play, upon which ho put on a
Scotch cap. He was told that he might wear the cap; but
if he did so, he (the policeman) should take the hat also to
the station-house. Ho was put into the charge-room with
a number of other persons all wearing hats, and Ballard)
the officer, identified him from amongst the rest.
It was proved by Sergeant Holmes, 3 F, that he had seen
the two prisoners repeatedly together during the last fifteen

months.
Ackrell, another police-constable, 48 F, also proved that
he had often seen the prisoners together.
Mr. Montagu Williams made a very able speech on be-
half of Campbell, setting up as his defence an alibi, and
called three witnesses, who swore that they were at the
prisoner's house on the night in question, and that he was
never absent for more than ten minutes during the whole

The nation will hear with heartfelt satisfaction
that her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales was
safely delivered of a son nt Frogmore, yesterday
evening, at two minutes before nine o'clock, and
that the young mother and the infant Prince are
doing perfectly well. Her Royal Highness was
present at the skating at Frogmore yesterday
afternoon, in apparently perfect health and high
spirits, and took her share in the proceedings of
the day in a sleigh. We congratulate the Sove-
reign, the Heir to the Throne, and the country, on
this assured continuance of the direct line of our
Royal House ; and W 3 trust that the experience
and attention of those around the Princess may
secure her a speedy return to strength.

that policy be to withhold assistance from the
Chinese unless they accept it on certain stated terms,
no doubt Major Gordon will cooperate with the
others in furthering the views of our own authori-
ties. At present his retirement would be quite
premature.
" Since the date of our last issue we learn that
Gordon has taken another important stockade
(Li bow) on the north face of Soochow. He
now commands three sides of the city, and only
the western side, with the Tai-hoo lake adjacent,
is still open to the rebels. Gordon has, for a con-
siderable time been aware that, through this lake,
supplies have been brought to Soochow, and has left
it open, doubtless, as a means of escape, should his
usual tactics succeed, and the rebels evacuate the
city. In the very probable event of their choosing
to remain and stand a siege, we may expect cer-
tain operations on and around the Tai-hoo lake, and
it is most likely that a good account will be given
of the rebels lodged thereabouts.
"From Tientsin we hear that large bodies of
marauders are again in the neighbourhood of that
port. The natives had shown some alarm, but the
foreign community were °urged celebrating the
annual races.
" At Hankow, as reported in our last issue, the
Nyenfei have been heard of as concentrating their
bands at a point within 30 miles of the city. The
Taoutae and the principal Chinese traders are said
to be packing up their effects with a view to flight.
Rowdyism is appearing at Hankow, as elsewhere.
" The Shanghae papers are most mysterious on

the subject of a foreign firm having lent the Fatae
of the province a sum of money, to be repaid in two
monthly instalments, but whether it is the lender,
the borrower, or the proposed form of repayment
that has offended the Shanghae community we are
not in a position to state. Trade is said to be in-
creasing at Shanghae. No other news of import-
ance has reached us from that settlement.
"From Ningpo we learn that a piratical strong-'
hold, situated at Wan-tu quan, has been destroyed
by the Chinese contingent, who proceeded on the
20th ult., under Colonel Cooke, and took the city
by assault. Twenty-three junks of piratical build
were destroyed on this occasion.
" From Amoy, Fuhchau, and Swatow, we have
no news of importance. At Canton and Macao
matters go on as usual. The annual regatta comes.
off at Canton next week."

has been rather more inquiry, but the object does not appear

including India mule, but at rates toa low for acceptance.
Home made yarns are still flatter than shipping yarns, and
there has been next to nothing doing in them. Iu these,
prices are dto ld per lb. lower than last week, but even
this reduction fails to attract purchasers, We hear of great

such offers would involve, and without it there is little or no

active. In the cloth market the same stagnation prevails.
Many manufacturers are very firm in adhering to late quo
tations, but buyers will not listen to them. Some offers
have been made, but at prices which precluded the hope of
arrangement. To effect sales manufacturers would cer
tainly have to take prices considerably under those of last

market yesterday and to-day has reacted upon business
here. Probably the floods of light thrown upon the cotton
question by trade circulars, some of them of a rather sensa-
tional chhracter like the current literature of the day, have
also some effect upon business. The general result, at all
events, seems to have been to induce a strong impression in
favour of lower prices prevailing.
CARDIFF, 7th,—The iron trade is active. The advanced

e difficulty in booking orders. Scotch pig warrants have
declined 2s to 3s per ton during the last few days. The
decks are crowded with ships, and the steam coal collieries
are on full time. If the present demand for steam coal
, continues the new docks will be required before the founda-
tion stone is laid. The cold weather has given an impetus
to the house coal trade, and prices aro firmer than has been
the case for a long time.
NOTTINGHAM, Bth.—The attendance on 'Change to-day

I regard which her Royal Highness the Princess of
Wales has won for herself, assures us that the joy
with which the happy event announced this morn-
ing has filled the Royal Circle will be shared by the
whole people. The incidents of the delivery were
in harmony with the event. It is satisfactory to
know that the Princess was not called to pass
through a protracted and painfiil crisis. Her Royal
Highness was sharing the amusement of her hus-
band on the ice at Virginia Water for several hours
yesterday, and only returned to Frogmore with her
ladies a few hours before she became a mother.
The best wishes of the nation will attend the
Princess during her temporary seclusion.

STATE OP TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Jan, tB.—The yarn market is still very
quiet, and business appears to be all but suspended. There
has been rather more inquiry, but the object does not appear
to have been so much with an intention of buying as of test-
ing prices. Some offers have been made for export yarns,
including India mule, but at rates toa low for acceptance.
Home made yarns are still flatter than shipping yarns, and
there has been next to nothing doing in them. Iu these,
prices are id to ld per lb. lower than last week, but even
this reduction fails to attract purchasers. We hear of great
irregularity in quotations, and a still greater discrepancy
between the offers of purchasers in some cases and those of
others. Spinners, however, though willing to make some
concession, are not prepared to accept the sacrifice which
such offers would involve, and without it there is little or no
disposition to business. The market has rarely been so in-
active. In the cloth market the same stagnation prevails.
Many manufacturers are very firm in adhering to late quo-
tations, but buyers will not listen to them, Some offers
have been made, but at prices which precluded the hope of
arrangement. To effect sales manufacturers would cere
tainly have to take prices considerably under those of last
week. No doubt the extreme flatness of the Liverpool cotton
market yesterday and to-day has reacted upon business
here. Probably the floods of light thrown upon the cotton
question by trade circulars, some of them of a rather sensa-
tional character like the current literature of the day, have
also some effect upon business. The general result, at all
events, seems to have been to induce a strong impression in
favour of lower prices prevailing.
CARDIFF, 7th,—The iron trade is active. The advanced
quotations are maintained with firmness, and there is no
difficulty in booking orders. Scotch pig warrants have
declined 2s to 3s per ton during the last few days. The

RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

(From. the Illustrated London News.)
The will of Sir John Spencer Login, Knight, of Lancas-
ter-gate, Hyde Park, and of Felixstowe, Suffolk, was proved
in London, under £12,000 personalty in this country. Sir
John had held high posts in connection with the Army and
civil service in India, and was in the medical service of the
Hon. East India Company, and the guardian of his High.
ness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh. Sir John died in
October last, at his country seat, at the age of 56, having
executed his will the December previous. The executors
and trustees nominated are his relict (Lady Login), his
cousin (Thomas B. Spence), and the testator's two sons,
Edward and Spencer Login, who are in their minority.
The whole of the property is left to Lady Login, for the
maintenance of herself and children, and is to be divided
equally amongst them upon her decease.
The will of William Shuttleworth, Esq., of Plaistow Hall,
Bromley, and Fent:lurch-street, was proved in London,
under £60,000 personally. The executors are his relict and
Joseph Shuttleworth, Esq., of Hartsholnie, Lincoln, toge-
ther with Henry Thompson, Mincing. lane, and W. I\kiel,
Fenchurch.strect, both teabrokeri. The will bears date
July last, and the testator has directed that his business
should be carried on for the benefit of his estate. To his
wife he has bequeathed an annuity of £'2,000; the residue
of his property is to ba divided amongst his children on the
youngest attaining the age of 24.
'the will of James Bunstone Bunning, Esq., F.S.A., of
Gkueester-terrace, Regent's Palk, was proved in the Lon-
don Court, on the 15th ult., by his relict, the sole executrix
—the personally sworn under 170,000. The testator as
for raaDy years the architect for the City of London, h
appointment he retained until his death, in November
em er which

His will was cxecutLd in April bequeathed

STEAM DOOMED.—Tbere can be 130 doubt but
that engines worked by steam, the employment of which is
always attended with so great a loss of heat, will eventually
be superseded by air or caloric engines, where there is no lose
by condensation. Theoretically, air-engines are perfect, and
the practical difficulties that prevented their adoption are
being overcomo.—lntellectual Qbserrer.

determine the respective weights of different forces

at present in the field of Chinese foreign politics.
Captain Sherard Osborne demands an in lei endent
command. As yet his demand has not been acceded

,o. The flotilla is, on that account, inactive.

" Major Gordon, to whom all eyes are turned,
still pursues his successful course. It was thought
that he would resign his command, in conjunction
with the action of General Brown in withdrawing
the English troops from Qainsan, but nothing is
heard of such a proceeding on Gordon's part. It is
just probable, however, that he may have given the
native authorities to understand that he will act in
accordance with the policy of his country ; and, if
that policy be to withhold assistance from the
Chinese unless they accept it on certain stated terms,
no doubt Major Gordon will cooperate with the
others in furthering the views of our own authori-
ties. At present his retirement would be quite
premature.
" Since the date of our last issue we learn that
Gordon has taken another important stockade
(Li Kow) on the north face of Soochow. He
now commands three sides of the city, and only
the western side, with the Tai-hoo lake adjacent,
is still open to the rebels. Gordon has, for a con-
siderable time been aware that, through this lake,
supplies have been brought to Soochow, and has left
it open, doubtless, as a means of escape, should his
usual tactics succeed, and the rebels evacuate the
city. In the very probable event of their choosing
to remain and stand a siege, we may expect cer-
tain operations on and around the Tai-hoo lake, and
it is most likely that a good account will be given
of the rebels lodged thereabouts.
"From Tientsin we hear that large bodies of
marauders are again in the neighbourhood of that
port. The natives had shown some alarm, but the
foreign community were engaged celebrating the
annual races.
" At Hankow, as reported in our last issue, the
Nyenfei have been heard of as concentrating their
bands at a point within 30 miles of the city. The
Taoutae and the principal Chinese traders are said
to be packing up their effects with a view to flight.
Rowdyism is appearing at Hankow, as elsewhere.
"The Shanghae papers are most mysterious on
the subject of a foreign firm having lent the Fatae
of the province a sum of money, to be repaid in two
monthly instalments, but whether it is the lender,
the borrower, or the proposed form of repayment
that has offended the Shanghae community we are
not in a position to state. Trade is said to be in-
creasing at Shanghae. No other news of import-
ance has reached us from that settlement.
" From Ningpo we learn that a piratical strong-
hold, situated at Wan-tu-quan, has been destroyed
by the Chinese contingent, who proceeded on the
20th ult., under Colonel Cooke, and took the city
by assault. Twenty-three junks of piratical build
were destroyed on this occasion.
" From Amoy, Fuhchan, and Swatow, we have
no news of importance. At Canton and Macao
matters go on as usual. The annual regatta comes
off at Canton next week,"

TATTERSALL'S-THE NEW PREMISES,

(From the Field.)

This important arena, with its several buildings, is now
in a sufficiently advanced state to show the general design
of the architect, and give a definite notion of the extensive
arrangements which are being made for the increased ac-
commodation and comfort of its subscribers and the genera
public. The plot of ground upon which it stands is nearly
two acres in extent. It is approached from the east by
Knightsbridge-green, near Sloane-street, and the facade
consists of two square wing-blocks of yellow brick with
Portland stone dressings, pierced with six windows on the
two floors, and surmounted by stone parapets with ball ter-
minals. These blocks are divided by a pedimented gateway,
beautifully carved, and two side entrances. The left-hand
block is dedicated to the subscribers, the tight to the secre-
tary's offices, business departments, harness rooms, and the
private dwellings of the superintendents. Although the en-
trance presents a comparatively narrow face, the space
within gradually enlarges through a depth of 300 ft„ until it
increases to more than double the width of the facade. The
subscription-room is approached by a side foot entrance,
and railed elf from the centre road so as to preserve to its
frequenters the utmost possibly privacy ; it is entered by
lofty folding-doors. It is a magnificent saloon of elegant
proportions, being 60ft by 30ft, while a clear height of 26ft
Gin is obtained. It is lighted by day by two large domes ISft
high, covered with lunette lights, each formed of ono large
piece of glass. A third dome is in the centre of the ceiling,
in which an enormous sun-burner is placed to illuminate
the whole by night.
The principle—which is that of Messrs. Forrest and son,
of Fetter-lane—is peculiar, as by a duplex arrangement the
whole of the ceiling is brilliantly lighted, and not thrown
into shadow or half-tint, as by most of the ordinary means.
These domes are already bordered by a beautiful gunlock°
pattern, and will be enriched with coloured devices. The
