business effected. There appears to be a consider-
able accumulation of orders in the market, but
merchants are waiting the next American advices
before attempting to execute them. We have Cal-
cutta telegrams to the 16th ult., quoting an im-
proving market there in cloth. The price of 871,1 b.
shirtings is quoted at 10 rupees per piece. From
the teuour of these advices we expected a better
demand for cloth in Manchester to-day, but the
hope has been disappointed. The only effect of the
India news appears to have been the imparting of
more firmness to the quotations of manufacturers
and sellers, and to render them less anxious to sell.
It has not, to any appreciable extent, led merchants
to improve their offers for any description of India
goods, and consequently business is, if possible,
more difficult than it was at the close of last week.
The only buying business we have heard of consists
in the execution of some small orders which were
pressing, and for these sellers exacted rather full
rates. Where there is any pressure to sell the advan•
tage has been the other way. In cloths for the home
trade and for the smaller foreign markets there is
no change either as to prices or demand.
The depression in these goods is quite as
great as it was last week. There is no possi-
bility of giving quotations, because there are no
offers on a sufficient scale to test values. Buyers
appear to lack confidence enough to enter upon any
operations of magnitude, and but few of them are
making any inquiries for goods.

LEEDS, 14th—The markets in the cloth halls this
morning have been of a rather quiet character; but,
considering the number of buyers present, a fair
amount of business was done. Large orders are in
the course of delivery from manufacturers to mer-
chants, and altogether a seasonable trade is doing
—much more than the cloth hall markets indicate.
Prices are well maintained, and those of all kinds
of raw material are high.
NOTTINGHAM, 14th.—There was about an aver-
age attendance at our Exchange hall to-day, and
the demand for lace yarns was limited, at no mate-
rial change in prices. Hosiery yarns were also in
slow request, and recent rates may be quoted.
Silks were not much changed. There was not much
doing in brown nets, but prices remained very firm.
ROCHDALE, 13th—There is a good demand for
flannels, and both plain and fancy goods sell well.
Considering the quantity of goods in the market
to-day a full amount of business was done. Prices
are very firm, and in some instances they have an
upward tendency. Yorkshire goods continue to
sell well, and of some kinds, such as linseys and
scourers, there is a scarcity. In the wool market
there is no change, prices being steady and the de-
mand good.

Yesterday afternoon an experimental trial a c the 0--
: eetion ship Connector took place between Blarl-
"
wall and Gravesend. Perhaps, instead of experi-
mental trial, the word demonstration should be
used, because it is the case that the Connector has
made 10 or more voyages to and from the cast coast
ports and London with coal and other things. The
trial yesterday was to give ocular proof of the suffi-
ciency and efficiency of section ships to those con-
templating the construction of such ships, not for
the home rivers or canals, nor for the rivers or car.tala
of India or other parts, but for the London and
Newcastle coal trade. Section ships, the inventor
and the promoters think, may be brought into pro-
fitable competition with the railways, the steam
colliers, and the old-fashioned sailing colliers! be-
cause, as regards the railways, well-contrived water
transit will always cost less than railway transit ;
because, es regards the steam colliers, the motive
power of the section ships will be kept always
going ; and because, as regards the old-fashioned
sailing colliers, the different coal-laden sections of
the section ship may be disconnected in the Pool,
and towed by the motive section direct to Lambeth,
Nine elms, or Battersea, thereby saving to the con-
tinnier the by no means inconsiderable lighterage
and other charges.
It is, however, as an innovation in ship construc-
tion, and not as a question of profit and loss in car-
rying coal, that the experimental trial of the Con-
nector is here noticed. By this innovation we have
a ship formed into two, three, or it may be a dozen
separate parts, each part forming a separate ship,
with bow, and stern, and masts, and sail, capable of
being disconnected in a moment from all the other
parts, and capable (in perfectly smooth water) of
being attached to all the other parts in almost an-
other moment. By this innovation cargo, or pas-
senger, or other sections may be attached to a motive
section—that is, to a steam section—just as car-
riages are attached to a locomotive at a railway
station ; and, recurring for an instant to the coal
trade, it may be said that a perfect coal carrying
section ship would consist of nine coal and one
motive sections; three coal sections being always
attached to the motive section, three sections being
always waiting at the loading port, and three sec-
tions being always waiting at London, the port of
discharge. That all this is theoretically right and
promising does not admit of doubt, and that it is
practically right may or may not be proved by the
ten or more sea voyages of the small Connector.
Into the latter question it is needless here to enter.
The point of present interest is whether the dan-
gers of the sea may be diminished by such means.
Had the steamers lost in the St. Lawrence this year
and during previous years been section-ships, it is
probable that life and property would have been
saved. The smashing or sinking of the bow section
would have left all the others stanch and strong,
and in those others sailors and passengers might
have pursued their voyages without delay.
The next experimental trip of the Connector will
be from Dover to Calais. The length of the ship—
three cargo sections and one motive—is 110 feet,
the breadth 8 feet 4 inches, the depth of hold 5 feet
4 inches, the engine 10 horse-power, and the screw
4 feet. With this small boiler power an average
smooth water speed of six knots, or seven statute
miles, was had, and under canvas as much as ten
knots, or 12 statute miles, are said to have been
obtained. This speed is owing to the great length
and small breadth; and blockade runners may like
to know that the inventor of the section ships will
guarantee 30 to 35 miles an hour or six feet draft
of water.

Experimental Trial of the Connee

ANOTHER MHOW COURT MARTIAL.

(From the United Service gazette of July 11, 1363.)
The public will, perhaps, be surprised to learn
hat Lieut.-Col. Crawley, not contented with his

great go" against his paymasters and sergeant-
majors, has also had a " little go" against one of his
corporals, which, however, if we mistake not, will
have a considerable influence on the judicial pro-

ceedings that are now pending. It will be remem-
bered that Col. Crawley has more than once hinted
that he was not responsible for the imprisonment of
the sergeant-majors, and that, with especial em-
phasis, he has sought to clear himself from the
charge of having placed a sentry inside of Lilley's
room during the confinement of the latter. His
friends in Parliament have repeatedly denied his
responsibility for the imprisonment, and, as for the
inside sentry, they have repudiated it altogether as
a malicious figment not requiring contradiction.
We believe that Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley's
specific statement respecting the position of the
sentry was that he was not aware, on the 7th
of May. of his having been posted inside the
room ; but what are the facts ? The non-commis-
sioned officer whose duty it was to post the sentry was
Corporal Blake, at the time corporal of the guard,
and he in the first instance posted the sentry at
the door of the sick-room, presuming that there
the soldier could not " lose sight of his prisoner
night or day," as the order of arrest expressed
it. Blake, it appears, had some bowels of compas-
sion for the imprisoned sergeant-major and his sick
wife, but he was soon taught that such maudlin
sentiments were not to be tolerated in the Inniskill-
him to regimaennataulnhcoauprpty-
ing Dragoons. On the sth of Maymrk the date
—his colonel brought
martial for disobedience of orders,
Blake was sentenced to 42 days' hard labour, and
simply because
the loss of his good-conduct stripe,
he had attempted to reconcile the
exigencies of a
sickroom with his duty as a non-commissioned officer.
The non-professional reader must take notice that
this court martial was Lieut.-Col. Crawley's own
doing from beginning to end, and that he can on no
pretence attempt to shift the blame on his military
superiors, as he has sought to do in Lilley's case.
He summoned the court himself, he selected the
members, and he approved of the finding and sen-
tence and this was on the sth of May, whilst on
the 7th he stated that he was not aware of the po-
sition in which the sentry had been placed. It will
be seen, therefore, that in the coming investigation
this regimental courtmartial on Corporal Blake will
be a most important feature. The two points upon
which Lieut.-Colonel Crawley will rest his defence
have already been pretty clearly indicated by him-
self and his friends. With respect to the arrest of
the sergeant-majors, he will, no doubt, rest on the
approval of Sir W. Mansfield ; but the Court
will have ,
to look narrowly into the circumstances
under which that approval was given, and to give a
special weight to the fact that Sir William, when
approving of the arrest, was under the impression
that the court-martial was only to be an affair of
two or three days' duration. It was Lieutenant-
Colonel Crawley's duty, when referring the matter,
to have pointed out the time that the imprisonment
was likely to last, as time was everything when the
question was confinement in an Indion casemate at
the hottest time of the year.
But, even supposing the responsibility of the
arrest to be divided, Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley
may triumphantly claim the manner is which it was
carried out as being all his own. The court-martial
on Corporal Blake nails him to the responsibility of
the inside sentry, and the posting of that inside sen-
try is the worst feature in the whole of this transac-
tion. The minutes of the court-martial on Blake
must be moved for immediately in the House of
Commons, and must form one of the leading docu-
ments in the approaching trial, for it is not only of
the highest importance in itself, but, contradicting,
as it does, 030 positive statement of Lieutenant-
Colonel Crawley's, it must materially affect the
credit to be given to other portions of his defence.
We tally anticipate that both Sir Hugh Rose and
Sir William Mansfield will be able to show that
they had no personal knowledge whatever of
bthuet
circumstances of Sergeant-Major Lilley's arreiseti,
n
gave their approval—if they havegin
eyyo.
