STATE OP TRADE.

DUNDEE, June 9.—There was considerable
buoyancy in the market to-day. Old flax was
much inquired for, and a considerable quantity
changed hands, nearly all the sales reported being
at previous prices. Fine and medium tow and
codilla were more asked for, and several sales have
been made at a small rise in price. Hemp remains
dull, and prices as before. The finer qualities of
jute are in good demand, but it is difficult to get an
a::vance corresponding to the rise in England ;
common qualities are quiet and not dearer. Yarns
of all descriptions were in ective request tc-day,
and a good trade was done in them. Flax and tow
qualities brought rather more money than at
Friday's market, and the tendency is still upward.
Jute qualities were firm, and prices against buyers
for several sizes. The American letters to band to-
day advise considerable sales of hessians and other
linens, but the prices are complained of, as they
leave a very small margin to the shipper. The
advices received from other foreign markets are
generally favourable. The demand for tha home
trade keeps well up, and a large business has been
done in linens to-day. The makers in town are all
full of orders, and in Arbroath, Forfar, and the other
towns in the district all continue busily employed.
LEICESTER, June 10.—There is a slight improve-
ment in the demand for some classes of hosiery
goods, and business generally is assuming a more
healthy character. At Loughborough and Hinck-
ley business remains dull, and the workpeople are
suffering. Yarns hold high'in price, and spinners
produce with caution so as to keep within the
supply. In wools there is no important change,
and the demand is tolerable.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, June 9.-30,333 tons of
coals, and 3,547 tons of coke, 24,425 cs f. of iron,
and 5,382 cwt. of alkali were exported from the
Tyne last week. There was an increase in the
shipment of coke of 16 tons ; iron, 6,502 cwt. ; and
a decrease in the shipment of coals of 4,213 tons,
and alkali, 280 cwt. The demand for tonnage
for the Mediterranean and the Baltic keeps ex-
ceedingly good, and there are not many arrivals
coastwise ; but the wind having got round to the
South a considerable number of light vessels
due may be expected. Coal freights to London are
ss. 6d. By advices from Constantinople under June
1, we learn that there has been a large arrival of
light vessels from the Mediterranean ports, and a
great portion of them seeking charters. During
that week a few vessels bad been taken for Azoff,
but nothing above 535, has been paid, except for
one small ship 555. ; but it was telegraphed ft ora
Taganrog, on the 31st May, that only 525. 6d. is the
outside payable there. From Sulina and.Kustctid"3ee
Gs. 4d. to 6s. 3d. were the rates ; lay days for the

bition of 1851.

The ceremony of uncovering the memorial of the Great
Exhibition of 1851 was performed yesterday afternoon in the
gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, in the presence
of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales
and the Royal Family.
The guests invited to take part in the ceremony com-
menced assembling shortly after one beneath the western
dome of the International Exhibition building, S3uth Ken-
sington. Between two and three the scene presented was one
of great beauty and magnificence. Among those present were
the Duke of Buccleucb, Lord Overstone, Lord Eversley,
Mr. Cardwell, Sir J. Pakington, Sir M. Peto, Lord
Llannver, Col. Sykes, Lord Taunton, the Hon. B. Disraeli,

There were Oen the mayors, provosts, and chief magistrates
of those cities and towns which formed local committees in
1851, the Council and Officers of the Society of Arts, her
Maje:ty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 and

1862, the Corps Diplomatique, the Council of the Horti-
cultural Society.
The attendance of the company was brilliant in the ex-
treme, and the greatest interest was manifested by every one

present.
To enliven the long " wait" the ccuncil engaged several
of the most celebrated bands, and notwithstanding they dis-
coursed most eloquent music, the hour of the royal party's
arrival was anxiously looked for. A few •minutes
before four o'clock her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Cambridge arrived, and a few minutes after, pro_
ei.ely at four o'clock, their Royal Highnesses en-
tered the building amidst the cheers of the assembled
company, the united bands playing severally the National
Anthems of England and Denmark. The Executive
Committee of the Memorial Committee were then pre-
sented to their Royal Highnes es. His Grace the Duke of
Buccleuch introduced the principal members of the Hor-
ticultural Society, and then a flourish of trumpets was the
signal for the procession to move. It consisted of the fol-
lowing bodies, who took their places in the order
named, and four abreast.'
