The accounts from the manufacturing districts
during the past week have, in some instances, been

unsatisfactory. At Manchester there has been a
N ery limited business transacted in tablecloths and
yarns, and prices have, in some instances, shown
increased depression. The woollen trade of Leeds,
Bradford, and Huddersfield, however, has slightly
improved, consequent upon the fine weather, while
in the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and
Nottingham there has been no material alteration.
In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield,
and Wolverhampton, a more favourable tone has
also prevailed.
FRENCH VIEW OF THE OXFORD AND CAM-
BRIDGE BOAT RACE.—The following remarks of
the Siecle respecting the Oxford and Cambridge boat-race
may afford some amusement :—" The great question that
agitates the English mind just at the present moment is
this—will the students of Oxford or those of Cambridge be
the conquerors in the approaching regatta on the Thames ?
For several years Oxford has been victorious, and Cam-
bridge on this particular occasion is determined to make
unheard-of efforts to carry off the prize-cup (coupe d'hon-
neur.) The two crews that are about to compete are
already housed in two separate hotels in the village of
Putney, where the regatta is to come off. Placed under a
most severe system of training, sent to bed at twilight and
made to rise at dawn, drinking neither beer nor any spi-
rituous liquor, bent over their oars twice every day, gain-
ing little by little in the rapidity of their stroke,tinfgaug-
ing their strength, and in recovering their wind, these

young men are going through a novitiate which in all re-
spects, save the religious ceremony, recalls to memory the
ordeal of the wrestlers in the games of ancient Greece. Le
Sport, in this sense, contributes essentially to the strength
of a nation. It is not in this way that we practise it in
France—it is not very likely that the boating men of the
Seine and Marne, even in the hope of winning the most
splendid of cups, will ever submit to the training of the
boating men of Cambridge and Oxford.. _

THE NEW ITALIAN LOAN.—The Italia of the sth
says :—" The loan appears to have been finally
conceded to Baron Rothschild, ono half at the rate of 59 per
cent., other being thrown open to public subscription. This
accounts to a certain extent for the rise in our funds. No-
thing certain is known as to the rate for the public subscrip-
tion ; but the Government will probably notify the same to
us as soon as Baron Rothschild will have somewhat raised
the Italian credit. The action for libel brought by Signor
Signor Sella against the responsible editor of the Monarchic'
Italiana, will come off on Thursday, the 13th inst."
