STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Dec. 4.—in shipping yarns there has
been no business whatever to-day, nor has there been much
attempt on the part of sellers. Prices, which, as stated in
Tuesday's report, had ,been up on the previous day to the
highest point yet attained, have given way full 2d. per lb.
for yarns of all desciiptipns. But even this decline has not
brought buyers into the market. We have had an unusually
small attendance, both of spinners and manufacturers, at
market to-day. No doubt they had been apprised of the
rise in discount to 8 per cent., and had anticipated the flat-
ness which prevails. Spinners and manufacturers being
deeply under contract there is less pressure to sell than
might otherwise have prevailed, considering the rapid rise
in the money-market. Cop yarns are suite as difficult to
sell as shipping yarns, and there has scarcely been sufficient
inquiry to test values, but it is quite certain that sellers have
lost all they have gained in price last week and up to Mon-
day evening. The cloth-market has been quite inactive to-
day, but prices do not appear to have been affected to the
same extent as in yarns. Manufacturers would in some
cases take rather low rates, especially those who hold stocks.
Many of them are heavily under contract, and, in such
cases, there seems to be little disposition to make any sacri-
fice. Buyers hold aloof, owing to the difficulties interposed
by the condition of the money-market, but there does not
appear to be much pressure to sell. The market closes with
a gloomy feeling, but sends do not apprehend any serious
decline in prices for the present.
CARDIFF, 4th.—Trade continues brisk, notwithstanding
the rise in the price of coal, which has caused a slight dimi-
nution in the demand for that article. The iron-market is
exceedingly firm, and quotations continue nearly stationary.
Freights foreign are much about the same, with a rising
tendency for the:mediterranean and East Indian ports.
The coasting trade is tolerably busy, and freights are also
increasing,

Mr. J. MORANT LOCKYER, an architect, sud-
denly Withdrawn from the exercise of a thriving
practice in his profession by the severe affliction of total
blindness, has generously presented his numerous sketches
and studies made during a long residence in Italy, to the
Institute of British Architects. This disposition to enable
others to benefit by his labours in the free use of these
sketches and professional notes—and, judging by their
number, his industry must have been unwearied and in-
cessaut—is in itself a rare occurrence. Mr. Lockyer has
augmented these benefits to his former colleagues by the
donation of an extensive series of the best casts from the
early Consular Diptychs and ancient ivory carvings which
he had long studied. His minute knowledge of subjects
of this nature, and even on a larger scale, was shown in his
account of ancient Italian bronze doors, and other papers
contributed to the Architectural Publication Society. The
casts from the ivory carvings now presented to the Institute
were carefully arranged by himself, and arc contained in
drawers with a handsemely ornamented cabinet.—

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 arc
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-

at Woolwich during the past year, a meeting of the inha-

manifesting abhorrence of the practice, which it was proved
is considerably on the increase. Letters were received from

gretting their inability to attend. The Town-hall was
crowded, an the platform was filled by the members of the
Local Board of Health, clergymen of the different denomi,

Those who addressed the meeting all spoke in favour of
substituting for corporal punishment imprisonment for va-

of reforming criminals, only rendered them more desperate

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.

The report of the directors states that the revenue for the
half-year ending the 31st December, including £2,623, the
balance from the preceding account, amounted to £53,694,
and the expenditure to £18,615, including £976 for interest
and £325 for rent of Old Meldrum Junction Railway, leav-
ing a balance of £35,079. Of this sum the dividend on the
new 4} per cent. shares would absorb.£lo,B46, the new 4i per
cent. preference shares £1,326, the proposed dividend on the
preference stock at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum
£lO,lBB, and the proposed dividend on the original stock at
the rate of 7 per cent. per annum £9,690, making together
£32,049, ana leaving a balance of £3,030. The working ex-
penses amounted to 361 per cent. of the gross rece.pts as
compared with 33 per cent, for the corresponding half-year.
A bill had been introduced by the company in the present
session for a 'junc•ion with the Scottish North• Eastern
Railway at Ab, rdeen. The company were joint promoters
with the Formantine and Buchan Company for an extension
to Fraserburgh (16 miles); with the Banff, Portsoy, and
Strath:sla of a bill for an extension line along the coast to
Buckle and Portgordon (14 miles). for acquiring preference
shares in their original undertaking, and for confirming a
working agreement on terms mutually advantageous; and
with the Banff. Macduff, and Tariff Extension for the con-
struction of a branch to Macduff Harbour (ono mile in
length), to confirm a working agreement, and for other
purposes to enable the undertaking to be completed.
Those measures would not only secure a considerable ac-
cession of traffic to the main line, but would supply the
district with railway communication where required. The
capital account showed that £1,455,756 had been expended,
including £428,687, on ten other railway undertakings. The
revenue account for the half•year ending Dec. 31 showed
that £50,871 had been received, and £'7,638 expended,
leaving a balance of £33,233.

PERTH, ALMOND VALLEY, AND MET LIVEN.
A special meeting was held at Perth on Tuesday; the
Earl of Mansfield in the chair. The proposed lease of this
line to the Scottish North-Eastern, on condition of being
guaranteed a preferential dividend of 4 per cent., was una-
nimously agreed to.

THE BALLYMENA ALLEGED POISONING CASE.—
Th. it.quiry Into the ethit.e of death of the lisle
Amelia S. E. Carey was resumed in the Ballymena Court-
house on Thursday morning, when Mr. Shaw (who is an
apothecary at Mercer',. Hospital, Dublin, who saw the de-
ceased in her illness) was examined, and gave it as his
opinion, founded on his own observation and on the evi-
dence given by Dr. Black, tbat deceased died from the
effects of an irritant poison. Some ether witnesses having
been examined, Mr. O'Rorko (who is conducting the pro-
secution on the part of the Crown) reviewed the evidence
in a lengthened speech, and submitted that he had estab-
lished a prima facie case, which would justify the magis-
trates in returning Dr. Courtenay for trial, either for having
administered medicine of a poisonous nature to deceased, or
on a charge of malpractice as a medical man. It being
then five o'clock in the evening, the court adjourned till
eleven o'clock nest morning.

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The wheat trade, in the country markets, held on Satur-
day, was less firm, and, in some instances, the advance rea-
lised at the close of the previous week was not maintained.
The supplies on offer exhibited a slight increase. All
spring corn was very dull at drooping currencies. Flour
changed hands slowly on former times. On the Continent
the demand for wheat is steady at late rates; and in other
articles, a moderate business is doing, but at rather lower
prices. The American markets continue dull for wheat,
flour, and maize at reduced quotations.
The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market
last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 19,647 quarters of wheat, 17,886 barley,
65,732 oats, 34 beans, 956 peas, 1,516 tares, 16,969 linseed,
6,033 rapeseed, 6,136 maize, 19 sundries, 222 sacks and
17,484 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market was only moderate. But few samples
came to hand in good condition, and these were mostly dis-
posed of at barely last Monday's quotations. Inferior
qualities, however, met a dull inquiry at drooping curren-
cies ; and a portion of the supply was left unsold at the close
of business.
The show of samples of foreign wheat, both ex granary
and ex ship, was somewhat extensive. Bed American and
white Dantzic parcels changed hands to a moderate extent,
chiefly in small quantities, and prices were fairly supported ;
otherwise the foreign wheat trade ruled heavy, and the
quotations had a aownward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at about
stationary prices.
The market was moderately supplied with English, and
extensively with foreign barley. Owing to the fay. urable
weather for the completion of spring sowing, all qualities
sold heavily, at fully the late decline in their value ; in-
deed, in some instances, a further reduction took place in
the quotations.
No quotable change took place in the price of malt. The
trade, however, was quiet.
The supply of oats was very large. Good and fine parcels
moved oft slowly at fully the late reduction in the currency.
Heated parcels were very dull, and they were disposed of
at very low prices.
Beans, with which the market was moderately supplied,
were in slow request, on former terms.
Peas were tolerably firm as to price, but the demand for
them was in a sluggish state.
The flour trade was dull, yet prices were without material
change from Monday last. The supply of barrels on offer
was moderately large.

MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN.

The report of the directors stated that the receipts on the
company's lino from Dublin to Athlone and the Longord
and Cavan branches amounted to £35,599, against £91,434
for the corresponding half of 1861, showing a decrease of
£5,835. The receipts from the incorporated railway and
canal were £104,657, and the disbursements, including
£3,670 for interest on loans, £53,381, leaving £51,276. To
this was added £3,346, the surplus from the preceding half
year, making a disposable sum of £54,622, out of which the
directors recommendA a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.
per annum, free of income tax, amounting to £51,583, leav-
ing a balance of £3,039. The accounts of the extension
from Athlone to Galway showed a deficiency on the gross
receipts of £2,557 as compared with the corresponding half
of 1861, owing to which there was a debit against the baro-
nies of £2,700 on this account. The net receipts from the
Royal Canal were £1,049 in excess of the corresponding
period of last year. The line from Longford to Sligo was
opened on Dec. 3, and the directors had every confidence
that the traffic from this extension would prove most remu •
nerative. The Streamstown and Clara line would be
opened for traffic on April 1. The directors regretted that
the traffic on the Athenry and Tuam branch continued to
show a decrease on the working. The Great Northern and
Western Company opened a section of their line from Clare-
morris to Castlebar, a distance of 15 miles, on the 16th of
December, thus completing the whole of the undertaking to
which the Midland Company were contributors. The capi-
tal expended on the main lire and extensions amounted to
£3,317,014, and in shares of other companies to £116,267,
together £3,433,281.

Yazoo City. The expectation awakened by these
rumours—and certainly it is one not much to be
wondered at under the circumstances—was to the
Effect that, in all human likelihood, the Confederate
transports, in retaliation, would forthwith emerge
from the White River for the express purpose of
offering battle without further delay to the gun-
boats of the North.

Perhaps the oddest morsel of news among all
this motley jumble of intelligence brought to us
by the Africa is that declaring as imminent a
collision between the military and the Mormonites
at Utah. The redoubtable prophet, BRIGHAM
YOUNG, together with Councillor KIMBALL and
Councillor WELLS, were, when the advices left,
threatened with immediate seizure by the military
under peremptory orders from the Governor of
Utah and his associate justices. Against this in-
tended arrest of their leaders, the Mormon citizens
were rising in arms with every evidence of having
come to a fixed determination to offer the most
resolute resistance. Whether the impending storm
will eventually blow over there at Utah
it would be difficult even to conjecture.
But supposing the Prophet to be worsted—as he
is tolerably certain to be, should events bring his
followers into serious collision with the military
authorities—it were idle even then to anticipate as
a probable consequence the collapse of Mormonism.
Did not the original Prophet of the Mormons,
the veritable founder of Mormonism, BRIGHAM
YOUNG'S predecessor and master, JOSEPH SMITH—
did not JOSEPH SMITH retain unmarred his
influence over his all-believing followers, even when
JOSEPH SMITH had undergone the double ordeal of
a dip in a capacious tar barrel and a roll in a ripped
up bed of feathers ? Even when smeared from head
to foot with pitch, and fledged abundantly with
those symbolical pluckings from the geese of
America, the Prophet SMITH was still to the Mor-
mons—the Prophet SMITH! There is a wonderful
tenacity of reverence, or affection, or admiration, or
by whatever name it may be called, among
the Free Citizens of America. Take, as
among the latest proofs of this, the mention
made towards the close of these last advices from
New York, to the effect that a movement is actually
afoot on the part of the Federal Government, with
a view to make General BUTLER Provost Marshal
under the Conscription Act ! In no other country
but America could BARNUM so long have survived
as among the recognised institutions of the land.
General ToM THUMB no where else than in America
could have found his way in the midst of the
miseries of a disastrous civil war, to a sort of official
audience with the Chief of the State. A little later
on and BRIGHAM YOUNG may be shown off at the
White House as a sort of Mormonite CARACTACUS,
borne onward in Mr. LINCOLN'S state procession
That—anything but triumphal procession now
going fast down hill, without even the pretence of
a skid upon the President's chariot wheels, but with
the pace of those wheels perpetually accelerated.
