STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Aug. 15.—Bad weather, together
with large imports of cotton into Liverpoo). have
had a depressing influence on the market, and a
feeling of gloom has prevailed all day. In.shipping
yarns lower prices must have been taken to effect
sales. Sellers, however, have been unwilling to
meet this feeling, and the consequence has been a
very limited amount of business. In home-trade
yarns also the market has been quiet, and prices
decidedly in the buyer's favour. The market closes
very tamely. In 'cloths we have had a very dull
market for this week past, and prices have tended
downwards. To-day the market has been, if pos-
sible, quieter, and prices have been to some extent
more in the buyer's favour. Some small failures in
the district, including one of a manufacturer at
Blackburn, hare tended to increase the depression.
For Indian cloth some very low offers have been
made, but have not been accepted. Printing cloths
are in less demand than they have been. The im-
ports of cotton into Liverpool up to last night had
been 71,000 bales this week, while the sales had
only reached 26,000.
LEEDS, 15th.—The woollen cloth trade in this
town and the surrounding districts keeps active, and
to-day's markets in the cloth-halls, considering that
the weather was wet, and in consequence, the at-
tendance of both buyers and sellers less than it other-
wise would have been, have been cheerful in tone
and satisfactory as to the amount of business done
There is a steady demand for seasonable goods, and
both the export and the home trades are in a
prosperous state. There is every probability that
the amount of woollen goods exported this month
will greatly exceed those exported in the correspond-
ing month of last year. Prices are very firm for all
seasonable goods, and the tendency is rather upward.

Wools keep steady and firm. The flax and y arn
trades arc rather improving, and prices are

NOTTINGHAM, 15th.—The attendance at the Ex-
change to-day was tolerable. There was a fair
amount of business doing in lace yarns, and prices
were very steady. Brown nets underwent no
material alteration. In hosiery yarns there was not
much doing, and prices were without change.
ROCHDALE, 14th.—The flannel trade keeps
steady, but it is scarcely so active as it was a month
ago. The export trade is rather slack at present,
but the home demand is good, especially for fancy
fabrics, and for such there is a good demand in the
market to-day. The manuafnadctuirnearnsyof

.The Queen's Visit to Germany.

DARMSTADT, Aug. 11.
Her Majesty Queen Victoria, with the Royal
family and suite, left here at a quarter to eleven
this evening by special train for Coburg.
The Queen, who particularly desired to observe
the strictest incognito, has travelled during the night
and spent the day in seclusion with her family at
Kranichstein. Her Majesty, however, received a
visit yesterday morning from their Highnesses the
Prince and Princess Carl, Prince William, and
his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. Her Royal Highness Princess Helena
returned this visit at the Rosenhohe yesterday after-
noon. Queen Victoria will, it is said, pay a visit to
the Grand Ducal Palace on her return from
Coburg.
Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Louis of
Hesse and their Highnesses' daughter, are in Swit-
zerland, but will meet Queen Victoria at Coburg in
order to be present at the inauguration of the me-
morial to the late Prince Albert. They will accom-
pany her Majesty back to Scotland.
COBURG, Aug. 12.

Queen 'Victoria arrived at Rosenau yesterday
morning, and was received at the railway by Prince
Alfred and the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
Her Majesty's stay at Rosenau will, it is ex-
pected, be prolonged until the commencement of
September.

According to present arrangements the ceremony
of unveiling the memorial to the late Prince Albert
will take place on the 26th inst., at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The monument is near completion, the
statue having been cast at Nurnberg (Lenz Herold),
and the base and pedestal at Weissenstadt, in
Bavaria. The tower of the Coburg Town-hall,
was burnt down on the 2d of May last, has been
rebuilt of a more handsome shape, in the square
where the memorial will be erected.

DEATH OF JOSEPH TUSSAUD, Esq.—lt is with
deep regret we announce the death of Joseph Tussaud,
Esq., which took place at his residence, Baker-street, Port-
man-square, on the 15th inst. The deceased gentleman
was in his 69th year, and was the eldest son of the late
Madame Tussaud. The loss of one so estimable as the late
Mr. Tussaud will be long felt by a largo circle of friends
and acquaintances, by whom he was sincerely and de-
servedly beloved.

EXHIBITION OF ARTS AND MANUFACTURES--
AGRICULTURAL lIALL.—The preparations for the opening
are now proceeding with great vigour. The Lord Chan-
cellor will take the chair, supported by many of the nobility
and distinguished artistes and manufacturers of the day.
A rehearsal of tho music to bo sung on the occasion took
place on Monday night, under the direction of Mr. G. W.
Martin. The choir of the National Choral Society, num-
bering one thousand voices, have been engaged for the
occasion.

The Lord Lieutenant, observes the Dublin
Evening Mail, conferred the honour of knighthood last
Monday, at the Viceregal Lodge, on Mr. John Howley,
Q.C., the Queen's First Sergeant in Ireland, in recognition
of his efficient and valuable services as Chairman of the
County of Tipperary. No honour could be better deserved.
Sir John Howley was 50 years at the Irish bar, and spent
no less than 30 of these in judicial employment.
RESTORATION OE SALISBURY CATIIEDRAL.—A
meeting of the Restoration Committee was held at
the Deanery on Saturday, to consider the plans presented
by the architect, Mr. Gilbert Scott, in concert with Mr.
Shields, the civil engineer, for securing the stability of the
main piers in the nave, and of the lantern story of the
tower. The plans were unanimously approved, and will
be carried into execution without delay. It was resolved
to proceed gradually with the restoration of the west
front. As regards tho works now in progress, it was re-
ported that the masonry is nearly completed, that tho
marble work is in a very forward state, and that, if the
weather be favourabie, tho whole of the works already
contracted :for will be completed by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the subscriptions come in but slowly. Re-
cently, however, the High Sheriff of Wilts (Mr. Poynder)
set a good example by subscribing 300 guineas.
LIBERALISM IN WEST KENT.—An influential
meeting of the Liberal electors of West Kent has
been held at the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark, to take
into consideration the circumstances attending the* last
election, when the Conservatives returned Lord Holmes-
dale and Mr. Dyke by a small majority over the Liberal
candidates, Sir John Lubbock and Mr. Angerstoin. The
meeting was convened by circular, and the chair was occu-
pied by Mr. Whatman, M.P. for Maidstone. Amongst
those present from various districts of the county were
Mr. C. W. Martin, M.P., Mr. Lee, M.P., Sir W. Yardley,
the Hon. Mr. Molyueux, and Mr. Goldsmid (Tunbridge),
Messrs. Ellis, Arckoll, and Cutbush (Maidstone), Mathews
(Gravesend), Fooks (Dartford), Norman (Bromley), Jolly,
Farnfield, and Armstrong (Woolwich), Bass (Greenwich),
Atkins and Shove (Lewisham), &c. From various ad-
dremes it appeared that the Liberal defeat was owing to
exceptional circumstances in one or two districts, and a
more complete organisation was now resolved on, an
influential committee being appointed to promote that
object.

GENEROSITY OF FEELING.--On Saturday morning
last, about 10 o'clock, as Mr. Peter Burrell, of No.
10, Fenchurch-buildings, solicitor, was crossing from Shoe-
lane to Farringdon-road, the driver of a Hansom cab being
behind Mr. Burrell, loosened the reins, and, in attempting
to pass him, knocked him down, the wheel going over both
his thighs, and then backing the cab over half of Mr.
Burroll's right foot. Mr. Burrell was supported in the
arms of two policomen until another Hansom was fetched
—the fare, with a generosity of feeling the practice of
which wo hope is confined to himself, refusing to give up
his cab to take Mr. Burrell home, although urged by the
police to do so.—Express.
A DEPOSIT FOR WILLS.—Any one who pleases
can now deposit his will for safe custody in the
Registry at Doctors'-col imons ; but very few have availed
themselves of the accommodation, and the number of wills
thus deposited does not yet reach that of a hundred. A
will once deposited cannot be removed. This regulation
occasions some annoyance to a very eminent member of
the bar, who, some time since, deposited one will and sub-
sequently another; he now wishes to have the first ono
out, but this has not yet been permitted. Considering the
strange devices to which pooplo often resort for the secre-
tion of their wills, and the odd places in which these do-
cuments are lost and mislaid, it would be woll, perhaps, if
Doctors'-commons was more often used as a depository.
About 20 years ago a codicil of Lord Scarborough's, dis-
posing of £lOO,OOO, was discovered by the housemaid stuck
into the joist of a bedstead she was cleaning ; and but
lately a will was brought in for probate which had just
been discovered, after having been dormant for 15 years in
the secret drawer of an old bureau stowed away in the
Pantechnicon.—Fraser's Magazine.

QUEEN EMMA.—The Dowager Queen of the
Sand*ich Islands yesterday paid a visit to the village of
Strcatloy, in Berkshire, and attended a consecration ser-
vice at the parish church, which has been recently restored
and enlarged. The Bishop of Oxford was present, and
delivered an impressive and eloquent sermon. At the con-
clusion of the service there was luncheon at the residence
of the incumbent, and soon after three o'clock the Queen
and suite, accompanied by the Bishop of Oxford, took their
departure by the Great Western Railway for London.
" CAPTAIN HARVEY GARNETT PHIPPS, WHOSE

the time, but it had reference to the duellist rather than
the actor, whose efforts, indeed, were not very admirable,
and who soon outliving the interest he had excited, quitted
this country for America, and was seen no more by Eng.
lish audiences.—Once a Week.
BRUTAL MANSLAUGHTER IN THE ClTY.—Last
evening Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy coroner for the
City of London, held an inquiry at Guy's Hospital respect-
ing the death from brutal violence of Wm. Samuel Cowper
aged forty-three years. James Bissendine said that on
Friday last ho was in Pudding-lane, when ho saw
Sweeney having hold of the deceased's hands, who
struggled and succeeded in breaking away. He ran
and got behind a post. Sweeney followed, and seizing
him by the cravat forced him along the road. He then
seized him by the trousers and the cravat, and lifting
him bodily off the ground threw nim on his head on the
pavement. The back of the head struck upon the stones
with great force. He was covered with blood, and fell
senseless and apparently dead. While ho lay on the ground
the accused stood over him, saying " I will be the death of
you." Tho injuries were inflicted deliberately ; there was
no joking about the affair. The accused had been the
terror of the street for the last 11 months, and he was a
very ferocious character. Mr. Henry Cooley, surgeon, said
that deceased died the day after his admission to the hospi-
tal from fracture of the back of the skull and effusion of
blood on the brain, caused by a fall such as that described
by the witnesses. The jury returned a verdict of luau-
L slaughter.
