STATE OR TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)

MANCHESTER, March 15.—The receipts of the week,
ending March 2d, at all the American ports were 131,000
bales, against 126,000 (the largest of last season) in the
corresponding week of last year ; and the total receipts,
2,326,000 against 1,791,000. The next week, it is said,
will exhibit a falling off of 12,000 to 15,000 bales. The
week's shipments to Great Britain were only 30,000
against 57,000. Prices were steadier. It is evident that they
were depending very much upon accounts from Liverpool.
On Saturday, our market was exceedingly depressed in
its whole tone ; and it seemed highly probable that the
prices of yarns and goods would undergo a still fur-
ther decline. The transatlantic accounts have, how-
ever, produced an impression that a further fall is per-
haps for the present interrupted. We have conse-
quently had a more cheerful feeling, with more -offers
from buyers, at last week's lowest prices, which, how-
ever, the producers of yarns and goods have not, in
general, been inclined to accept. This much is certain,
buyers might have supplied themselves on somewhat
ealier terms at the latter end of last week, especially in
yarns, than they have been enabled to do to-day ; but
sellers cannot obtain a positive advance upon their pre-
vious quotations. No. 40's mule twist and 20's water
show the most improvement. Offers have been made
for fair quantities of India and China shirtings, but at
prices which have not been accepted. In domestics
there is rather more doing.
ROCHDALE, March 14.—T0-day we have had little
change in the market from that of the preceding Mon-
day, either in price or demand. The demand for wool
is very steady, and prices continue to advance slowly.
HALIFAX, March 12.—There is no noticeable change
to-day in the state of trade. Our piece hall has been
very thinly attended, and but few goods of any sort
have changed hands. Yarn is again higher, but the ad-
vance is not equal to that on the raw material. Al-
though the spinners purchase sparingly, and only to
meet immediate needs, wool continues to rise, partly
owing to increasing scarcity and partly to speculative
sales.

HUDDERSFIELD, March 15.—Our market continues
brisk, but as manufacturers have nothing to sell, busi-
ness is done very quietly, goods being delivered direct
to order. The cloth hall is nearly deserted of goods,
and most of the private "shops" in the neighbourhood
are quite empty. Manufacturers are fully employed,
and if more hands could be got, could find customers for
the extra quantity of goods. The tendency in price is
upwards in most seasonable fabrics, as fancies of new
patterns and light goods generally.

NO ACT OF PARLIAMENT REQUIRED TO SETTLE
THE BOTTLED BEER QUESTION.

FARLE BROTHERS and CO. beg to inform
the Public that they have made arrangements to Sell Bass's
or Allsopp's PALE ALE, and other Pale Ales of the first quality,
Genuine DUBLIN STOUT, in Bottles manufactured expressly for
them, containing the full IMPERIAL .QUART and PINT AMA.
SURE, at the following prices :
Bass's or Allsopp's best Pale Ales, at per dozen im- a. d.
perial quarts .. • • • . a 0
Ditto ditto pints 4 6
Genuine Dublin Stout, warranted of the first quality—
Per Dozen imperial quarts .. .. 7 0
Ditto ditto pints .. • . 4 0 •
Earle Brothers and Co guarantee their Ales and Stout to be of
the finest quality, and earnestly invite the Public to avail themselves
of the great saving they will make by honouring this firm with their
patronage.
Earle Brothers and Co. call the attention of the Public to the im-
portant fact, that they are offering Three Gallons, that is, One Dozen
and a Half of the present miscalled Quarts and Pints, for a Lower
Price than the Public is now generally paying for Two Gallons, or
One Dozen of precisely the same article, identical in quality, and
brewed by the same eminent firms.
The advantage to the Public is one-third more for the same price.
The Public has loudly complained of the short measure it has been
the practice of the dealers in Bottled Beer to give.
Earle Brothers and Co. offer the Public a complete remedy, ant
respectfully beg the Public to avail themselves of it.

COUNTY ELECTIONS POLLS BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
The Marquis of SALISBURY asked to be informed
•f its nature ?

The Earl of CARLISLE said that its principle object
was to limit the time of polling for county elections to
one day, as the second day had been found to be pro-
ductive of additional expense to the candidates, without
giving any facilities for the taking of the poll, or the de-
termining of the contest.

After ; few words from the Earl of DERBY and Lord
REDESDALE, the bill was read a third time and passed.
SLAVE TRADE (SOHAR, IN ARABIA) BILL.
On the motion of Lord WODEHOUSE, this bill
passed through committee.
SLAVE TRADE (NEW GRENADA) BILL.
On the motion of Lord WODEHOUSE, this bill also
passed through committee.

NEW WINDSOR.

This committee resumed this morning at half-past
eleven, when Mr. Sergeant Mangham was heard on be-
half of Lord Charles Wellesley, the sitting member. The
learned sergeant argued at considerable length that the
publicans, who had kept open houses during the election,
had done so on speculation, and at their own responsi-
bility, and without the order of Lord Charles Wellesley
or any of his agents.
The learned, sergeant had not concluded his address
when our report left.

LEAMINGTON GRAND ANNUAL STEEPLECHASE.—Peter
Simple, it is said, is not to be the horse this time. The
latest moves indicate that the winner will be found in
Maurice Daley, Bourton, or Warner. The latest named
has been backed for a great deal of money by the public.
The Hurdle Race would seem to be a tolerable cm,

MONTENEGRO.

The .number of men to be employed against
Montenegro is given at 34,000. Omer Pasha is
at Scutari, at the head of 17,000 men, of whom
5,000. are Arnauts (irregular troops). Omer Pasha
has purchased 60 pair of silver-mounted pistols to
distribute among the chiefs who do not take up
arms against him. Everything has been done to
rouse the fanaticism of the Bosnian Mussulmans
against the Montenegrines. It is rumoured here
that Austria has counselled the Porte to give up
its designs on Montenegro.
The Triester Zeitung, of the 19th, learns from
Ca ttaro that the Turks have already assumed
the offensive against Montenegro. Six hours'
march from the frontiers is a Turkish military
post called Veleme, in the Banjaner district,
in the south of the Herzegovoina, and there
eir-ht battalions of BosniaclA.assulmans have pitched
their tents, and are waiting until the- other troops
come up. The Triester Zeitung further informs us
that the Imperial Adjutant-General Kellner has
had the Austrian frontier-post of Dragal, "on the
Montenegrin frontier,fortitied." Now Dragal, which
is in the north of Austrian Albania, close to the
Herzegovina, and at a . considerable distance from
Montenegro, was fortified some time since. Gene-
ral Kellner is on his way back to Vienna.
The political-juridical ordinances for Hungary
have appeared in the Oest Correspondenz ; but
they must be studied before any opinion can be
given on their merits. After a superficial perusal,
it strikes us that unusual influence and power have
been given to the Statdholders.

plated obtaining a supersedeas, but in consequence
of advice had fully submitted to the jurisdiction of the
Court, as the best mode of absolving himself from his
liabilities. The accounts were perfectly satisfactory to
the assignees, and as there was a good estate he had to
apply for an allowance for the accountants, whose bill
amounted to 631.

His Honour said the charge was high, but tho account
certainly was very heavy. Ultimately 401. was ordered
to be paid out of the estate.

The bankrupt passed without opposition.

transmission of dispatches by the electric telegraph
within the limits of its own territory.
A letter from Berlin contradicts a report of an
increase in the effective strength of the federal
German army. The Diet has not, it says, resolved
on an extraordinary levy of 50,000 men, and the
states have not been called on to increase their con-
tingents. One circumstance alone may, it is added,
have given rise to these inventions. The Diet has
started the question as to whether the contingents
should be raised from one per cent. to one and a
half per cent. of the population. The Plenipoten-
tiaries wait for instructions from their Governments
on this subject. It is stated that the Prussian
Minister has received orders to vote against this
contemplated augmentation, and to propose as the
basis of the division of the for,,es the census of 1852
instead of that of 1846, the numbers of which do
not respond to the increase of the population.
