STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, dune 3.—There is a further slight
improvement both in yarns and cloths. The yarn
market-is generally dearer, and spinners were ask-
ing higher rates for nearly all kinds of twist. There
was more business for all kinds, and especially for
Bolton 60's. The home trade have been buying
various counts of cop yarns, and have shown more
activity than for some time past. The principal
business, however, hasbeen in counts and qualities of

yarn for India. The advances obtained as compared
with last Friday's prices average id. per lb. The
improvement is partly due to the advance in cotton,
and partly to more encouraging news from India.
Telegrams to hand from Calcutta to the 18th of
May report trade generally better, and the prices of
cloth wore one to three annas (11d. to 41d.) per
piece higher. The advices from Bombay arc two
days later, and quote pricesfirm,which is considered
good news here, under present circumstances, by
the trade. There are also better accounts from
Shanghai, which report an improved demand. This
news has produced a highly favourable impression
upon the cloth market in Manchester to-day, and
and has led manufacturers to demand 11d. to 3d.
per piece advance on last week's quotations. Buyers,
on the contrary, have been willing to give the prices
demanded, but which they refused to give last
week, and where sellers would listen to these terms
they have bought freely. A considerable business
has been done on these terms, and manufacturers
have cleared off stocks lying in the warehouses of
agents in some instances, while in others they have
refused to sell under the advance above quoted. In
isolated cases l d. to 3d. per piece advance has been
given, but only for well known and favourite makes
of cloth. The sales have been chiefly in printing
cloths, shirtings, and other goods suitable to India.
In longcloths, T-cloths, and domestics the market is
quiet. Messrs. Da Fay and Co., in their monthly
trade report, say :—` Many of our foreign
markets must gradually become bare of goods,
for it is nearly a year since some of them received
their last supplies. It must be borne in mind,
however, that the poorer countries cannot afford to
pay the present comparatively high prices, and that
Indikand China have been well supplied, and can
afford to wait some time longer for new supplies.
The reduction of duties in India has momentarily
depressed prices there of plain goods.
tooled is
to be had here in shirtings under 150. . per
lb., made of inferior material, which our Calcutta
friends had been in the habit of receiving formeThly
of better makes at from 121 d. to 13d. per lb.
of the
home trade is improving, but the purchases
large inland houses are confined to actual wants
only, to reassort stocks on hand. The most grati-
fying feature is the prospect of a good harvest here
and elsewhere; to all appearance the present
will
be a good year for fruit and other articles of food
besides grain. The accounts we receive from the
Continent are equally satisfactory on this subject
and commercial men hope for a revival of trade
from this source, even if matters in America should
thwart the prospects of a resumption of commerce
from that important country." They give the fol-
lowing

factures for the four months ended April 30, 1862,

1861 :

LEEDS, June 3.—The markets in the cloth-halls
to-day were a shade better than those of this day
se nnight. There is an improvement noticeable in
the home trade, a better demand having sprung up
for goods, as
well those for summer wear as those
for the colder period of the year. Summer fabrics,
however, are bought in small quantities to complete
orders, rather than to add to stocks on merchants'
hands. The country clothiers report that they are
scarcely any better or any worse employed than
they have been all the preceding part of the year,
but some of the larger manufacturers in the neigh-
bourhood are doing rather more business. Wools
and cloths alike keep steady in price.

A LITERARY DECEPTION,--A curious literary
deception has, it is said, been practised in a London college
on the learned irofessors of that institution. A student
discovered suddenly a new autograph of Bunyan's. It was
a letter addressed to a customer, a Mr. Oldham, concerning
some kettle that Btuayan had undertaken to mend for him.
The autograph wasp repared with coffee and otherth deventhu-
ices
to make the writing look old. It was received wi
siasm, connoisseurs remarking that hitherto Bunyan's
tinkering had rested on insecure popular our, and no
alcquato evidence. One learned professor oven wrote a
monograph on the Mr. Oldham to whom the letter was ad-
dressed. Such is history. The youth himself who has
the merit of the discovery, conscious of the coffee and the
very moderate amount of intellect to which he is indebted
for this curious antiquity, trembles doubtless at the great-
was oX §ticads.--SSeCtONn

The most remarkable fact to be recorded to-day
respecting the Exhibition is the immense spring
which the attendance of yesterday made as corn-
pared with all the previous numbers since the open-
ing. It may not be uninteresting to show the exact
numbers recorded for successive hours of the day.
By 11 o'clock, 368 ticket holders, and 6,711 on pay-
ment of a shilling each, had passed the turnstiies ;
1 o'clock, 1,117 and 19,753 respectively ; 3 o'clock,
2,047 and 26,631; and 5 o'clock, 3,424 and 30,474.
Total numbers up to 5 o'clock, 33,898 ; being the
largest by many thousands since the opening. The
prospects of the undertaking are, therefore, now of
the most satisfactory nature, and they will be stilt
further improved by the adoption of Mr. Mayo's
plan for the sale of tickets in packages, with a mo-
derate bonus, which the commissioners have, after
much consideration, adopted. Packets of 21 tickets
will now be sold for a sovereign each, being a
bonus of 5 per cent., and Messrs. Smith, of the
Strand, and several other leading agents, have, en-
scnted to speculate in them on these terms. In
addition to this the purchase of large quantities by
the large business houses continues and increases,
the last being one of £l4O worth by Messrs. Leaf,
of Old Change. As ono preparation for the ex-
pected influx, especially of foreigners, the refres:a-
went contractor have each added a smoking room
to his establishment, where the disciples of Sir
Walter Raleigh can indulge in their fuliginous re-
creation without danger to the building or viola-
tion of the insurance policies,
The appearance of the interior yesterday at about
three o'clock was as striking and encouraging as
could possibly be imagined. There were crowds of
well-dressed people everywhere, on the platforms,
in the nave, in the galleries, and in the courts.
Indeed, so very full appeared every corner, that
people began to doubt whether there would be mach
" circulation" when the attendance rose, which it
very soon will, to 60,000 a day. The successful
realisation of Mr. Rimmel's very poetical and grace-
ful idea of perfuming the majolica fountain kept
the eastern platform densely thronged, and the
effect of the sparkling spray charged with the
most fragrant essences was appreciated most fully
by the company. It is certainly rather a

An accident occurred in the immediate neghbour-
hood of the building, which proved the necessity
of the caution we recently gave to the police. A
Hansom cab having turned sharp round the corner,
a trace broke, and the horse ran away, overthrow-
ing men, women, and children as he dashed furi-
ously along. Four or five persons were, we under-

was created all along the eastern front of the
building.

THE SUN.
LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1862.

So, after all, Mr. WALPOLE, on the part of the
Tories, has delivered economy and retrenchment
in to the hands of Lord PALMERSTON. How they will
fare there no one can doubt. This, then, is the re-
sult of all the formidable speeches of Mr. DISRAELI,
of the resolution of Mr. STANSFELD, framed to give
the Opposition an opportunity of following up their
leader's speeches by their votes, and of Mr. WAL-
POLE'S Amendment, in some respects more effective
than Mr. STANSFELD'S. This is the ridiculous mouse
brought forth by the Parliamentary mountain in
labour. ;That the other amendments would be
withdrawn when the Opposition, through the WAL-
POLE Amendment, entered into conflict with the
Government, we had fully expected, but we had as
little doubt that either Lord PAL3IERSTON would
capitulate and accept the WALPOLE amendment
as substantially agreeing with his own, or that
Mr. WALPOLE and the Opposition would fight
like Englishmen. We did net imagine that
the " Amiable" Mr. WALPOLE would be so
very amiable as to desert the trust his party
had repf)Red in him, and at the eleventh hour to
sneak out of the field, cowed by a threat from Lord
PALMERSTON.

it is not often we have to commend Mr.DISRAELI,
but last night, we must confess, that be alone re-
deemed the position of the Tories. He at least
stood to his colours. That we do like. We are
Englishmen enough not to relish being baulked of
a good stand-up
fight when it has been fairly pro-
WALPOLE did run, and Mr.
mised us; and Mr.
DISRAELI did fight; and he fought, too, with a
speech fuller of fact and argument than is usual
with him. He will, we have too much reason to
fear, prove a true prophet in predicting that
the object of the withdrawn Tory amendment
will be forced upon the Government by the gate of
the country. The prospects of trade and business
are not such as to warrant much hope of buoyancy
in the revenue of next year; and Mr. DISRAELI
Could safely warn the Government that the repre- I
sentativest of the suffering districts, and of those
who would suffer because of their suffering, would
be compelled to recall the attention of Parliament
to the great question of national expenditure. But
few Tories spoke; but we may gather from Mr.
WILITESIDE S remark that there were others who
would not have been frightened
by Lord PALMER-
STON'S threats, and the conclusion from the whole
must be that there were Tories afraid of being called
on to take office, and Tories not afraid. The timid
Tories we understand to be such as either feared the
they would have to work
smallness of the rnajoriiy
with, or such as disliked the idea of economy, the
bolder Tories had calculated evidently on an appeal
to the country at the earliest opportunity with re-
duer.d Estimates and no Income-Tax for their elec-
tion cry. Divided counsels made the WALPOLE
amendment a sham. It appeared, on the part
of those who did not stand by it, as a piece of gra-
tuitous annoyance, since they were not prepared to
carry it out as actual business.
The generalship of Lord PALMERSTON was what
might have been expected of him, it he became
aware, as be doubtless did, of the division in the
Tory camp. Had the amendment been in firmer
hands he might have tried the policy of accepting
it ; but seeing his advantage he easily made up
his mind to accept it as a gauntlet. He
felt perfectly safe respecting Mr. STANSFELD'S
resolution, because the Tories, wbo might other-
wise have voted with Mr. DISRAELI for it, were
now precluded from doing so by having their own
amendment. The Irish members woald have been
in that case of no account. It was 2 bold game
but the old proverb again proves true, and fortune
favoured him. The STANSFELD resolution vvos of
course to be overwhelmingly defeated by the seces
sion of the Tories, but had Mr. WALPOLE stood to
his colours, had the supporters of Mr. STANSFELD
then given their votes to Mr. WALPOLE'S amend-
ment as the one more consistent with their objects,
and had the Pope's Brigade, under their new major,
joined the Tories, as they Consistently could have
done on this question, the Government must have

been beaten by a considerable majority. All de-
pended on Mr. WALPOLE'S courage, and the event
proved that our clever Premier knew his an.

But what will be the result of all this absurd
affair of resolutions, amendments, amendments on
amendments, and withdrawal of amendments by
Tories themselves to avoid upsetting the Govern-
ment. It can but have one effect at least, to make
Lord PALMERSTON the dictator of the House.
When a Premier can confound all his enemies
by the simple expedient of turning up his
sleeves, and saying, " Quite ready, gentlemen,
come on," why, of course, he retires with the belt
and all the honours. We hope he will wear them
meekly. But, first to take 302 with him into the
lobby against Mr. STANSFELD'S 65, then to carry
his own resolution nemine contradicente after com-
pelling his next opponent to retire, is almost
enough to turn even a veteran politician's
head. Lord PALMERSTON spoke as modestly as
could be expected. He said that the Government
would feel themselves bound under his amendment,
in duty to themselves, and in obligation to the
House, " narrowly to examine the different estab-
lishments which they may have to propose next
year," and if the state of things abroad and at home
permit of reductions, to make them. Such a pro-
mise, however, is perfectly worthless—it being
always to make anything a Minister pleases of
the s easy
state of things around him. We must think
with Mr. OSBORNE that the whole affair has rather
strengthened Lord PALMERSTON as a money-
spender, unless he find Mr. DISRAELI'S predictions
too true of a revenue curtailed by the privation of
the people. Here is the picture of this whole
affair as presented by the clever member for
Liskeard :—" What, he asks, "is the state of things
we have got to? "If we talk of economy, up
starts the noble viscount and cries out—' I will have
no econamy that is a party quartion!'" Thcn, to
mend the matter, after Mr. WALPOLE had brought
down such a host of members, in expectation of a
thorough set-to, what does the hon. member do
but " with hearse-like moans, and as much solemnity
of manner as if the British Constitution were at
stake, say—"No, 1 like economy much, but I like
lord Palmerston better."

Two features were prominent, however, in
nearly all the speeches, as well as the resolutions
and amendments—the commendations of economy
and the anxiety not to be supposed to undervalue
the greater importance of national security. Mr.
STANSFELD and Mr. COBDEN were as explicit on
these points as Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. HORS-
MAN—each speaker, of course, indicating his view
of their relative importance by placing one of them
in a parenthesis. On these two general points,
indeed, no Englishman can differ—it is when they
are to be practically carried out the difference
arises—Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. COBDEN lay stress
on the moral influence to be gained, with other
nations, by the vastness of our resources, and,
therefore, they advise to husband them. Lord
PALMERSTON leans to vast ready made armaments,
as the most obviously influential. Good will
doubtless come of the discussion. The country
can as little dispense with its financial Watchdogs,
as with its armament-loving Premiers—if the
latter will require that we be safe and strong,
the former will see to it, that we do not
waste money in superfluous strength, and, above all,
do not utterly throw it away in inefficient depart-
mental administration. It is in this last branch
of financial reform that most can be effected.

The indignation of General GARIBALDI at the
official proceedings which have recently taken place
in Brescia and in other parts of Northern Italy,
with a view to the " putting down" of the Volunz
teer movement against Austria, is all the more
magnanimous on his part, it appears, from the fact
that not only had GARIBALDI taken no part what-
ever in forwarding that movement, but that he had
actually discountenanced it! And he discounte-
nanced it, we learn without much surprise, for
these two simple reasons : firstly, because under the
circumstances it must for a dead certainty have
proved a failure if it had been adventured upon ;
and secondly, because from first to last the self-
sacrificing Champion of Italy and the Italians has a
peculiar repugnance so to act as in any way (unne-
cessarily) to embarrass the Government. As to
the validity of these two certainly impressive and
(we would venture to assert yet more) all-sufficient
reasons—who can have the temerity, the absolute
frivolity to deny it ? With the Government at
Turin against the movement, with the Ministry of
RATAZZI its foes from the very commencement,
with the army of VICTOR EMMANUEL in no
way prepared even partially, even feebly, and inter-
mittently to support the hostile movement of the
Volunteers against the forces of the Kaiser, who
possibly can have the folly to believe otherwise than
that the latter must, within a very brief interval,
indeed, have swept the daring marauders to destruc-
tion ? More especially if they could not even have
inscribed upon their banners that name which is in
itself a tower of strength—tbe heroic and world-
famous name of GARIBALDI. Again, as to the second
reason—have not all the: acts and words of GARI-
BALDI since his liberation of the Two Sicilies, and his
voluntary retirement to his island home of Caprera,
demonstrated with a distinctness and an emphasis
that nobody can fail to recognise and to appreciate
(as it, indeed, deserves to be appreciated !) the self-
abnegation with which, from first to last, GARI-
BALDI has striven to avoid every conceivable chance
of embarrassing the Government of King VICTOR
EMMANUEL ? They call him—some even of his
most earnest and devoted admirers call him
—meaning General GARIBALDI—weak and
too impressionable. The incidents of his
career, particularly of late—above all ever
since the completion of his great Southern en-
terprise—contradicts this imputation altogether.
Weak and too impressionable! Why, it is only
necessary—to know at once absolutely to the
contrary—it is really only necessary to recall to
mind how completely GARIBALDI has " held his
hands," as the phrase is, from anything healing
even the appearance of a hostile movement against
the RING'S Ministers at Turin ! No matter to him
whether the Cabinet there was presided over by
Count CAVOtTR --. by Baron RICASOLI—or by M.
RATAZZI. With not one of these leading states-
men can the dauntless Soldier of Italy be said to
have bad any profound or intimate sympathy ?
One after another, it is not difficult to see that they
have thwarted his most cherished designs, dashed
to the his dheisarleoyaftt, rapid, and direct hopes, run directly
counter
earthsome
oeca
occasionally
a l
to
ambition ! Is it asked how, or why ? The answer,
in truth, is simple enough : because one after an
other they have been too conciliatory and subser-
vient to the Liberator of Lornbardy,—to his Impe-
rial Majesty NAPOLEON

If any very vivid reminder of this be re-
quired, it is surely enough to bear in recol-
lection for a moment the tone in which
Signora MARIO WHITE, during her Italian lec-
tures, here in London, only very recently
spoke of
CAYOUR. and spoke of GARIBALDI. Here, in this
fair lecturer was an intimate personal friend of the
General's—one who knows his views and senti•
ments Perfectly well—and who yet could find it in
her heart to pronounce upon CAVODR anything but
apanegyric! Insomuch that those portions of her

harangue to her English audience fell flatly upon
their ears—being, in effect, directly opposed to the
opinions entertained in regard to CAVOUR by the
vast majority of Englishmen. But the lady lec-
turer, this personal friend of GARIBALDI, thought of
the departed statesman as of the one who had huck-
stered away the birthplace of GARIBALDI, had
ignominiously sold Savoy to France, in spite of the
debt of gratitude owing (by hom, many Italians ?)
to the most illustrious Savoyard ever born among
those free mountains ! Mountains yesterday Italian
—to-day French ! -Yet grandly suppressing his
anguish as a Savoyard, and looking
only to the realisation, as far as might
still in any way be practicable, of the che-

rished daydream of his Iife—GARIBALDI never
broke with CAVOUR, the man who sold Savoy and
Nice " fora consideration"to the French EMPEROR.
GARIBALDI never broke with CAVOUR, any more
than he has since then ever broken with either of
CAvouß's successors—with RICASOLI or with
RATAZZI. Everything for the cause he has at
heart, and nothing for himself ! That is the guid-
ing principle of the policy of the Soldier Hermit of
Caprera. And this, with every provocation from
time to time to break away indignantly from his
self-imposed course of silence and quietude, to that
one end ! Provocations to speak and to act,
coming to him, now from the right, now from
the left—incentives, sudden and startling
that must have driven this foremost man of all Italy
into opposition had he been, as many even of his
friends have imagined in his regard a man so very
weak and over-i2npressionable. Instead of acting
or speaking thus, however, in that purely suppo-
sitious character—as though he were the astutest
and wiliest diplomatist among them aII—GARIBALDI
has adroitly steered his course exactly midway
between Sylla and Charybdis. He has maintained
the same right onward course between the opposing
forces of Mazzinianism and Napoleonism. Com.
mitted to nothing—biding his time—waiting for
the next opportunity. In this age of cross purposes
and double dealing, it is a spectacle worth look-
ing at.

having heretofore been seized by insurgent forces,
have since been recovered, and are now occupied

DEATH OF GENERAL SIR T. WILLSEURE, G.C.B.
—The colonelcy of the 51st (King's Own) Light Infantry
Regiment of Foot has become vacant by the death of Gene-
ral Sir Thomas Willshire, which took place on Saturday
last at Rill-house, Windsor Forest, from effusion on the
brain, in his 72d year. The gallant deceased bad been
suffering for upwards of five weeks. He was born in 1789,
at Halifax, in North America, entered the army in 1795,
and served with the 38th Regiment in the West Indies
for three years, the campaign of 1808-9, including the
battles of Roleia and Vimiera, the retreat and battle of
Corunna, and the expedition to Walcheren From 1812
to 1814 he served in the Peninsula, and commanded the
light company at the battle of Salamanca, where he was
twice wounded in the action at Villa Muriel, the actions of

Osma, the battle of Vittoria, the first assault of San Sebas.

tian, as well as the second assault and capture of that place,
when he received the brevet rank of major. He also com-
manded a brigade of light companies at the passage of the
Bidassoa and the battles of Nivelle and Nive, for which he
was appointed a brevet-lieutenant-colonel. In 1819, while
at the Cape of Good Hope, he repulsed with 300 men the
attack of 10,000 Caffres upon Graham's Town, and he like-
wise commanded in the subsequent operations against them.
From 1822 to 1840 be nerved in the East Indies, during
which time he commanded a wing of the 46th Regiment a$
the battle of Kittoor, in the Doab. He also served through•

out the whole of the campaign in Affghanistan, under Lord
Keane, and was present in 1839 at the capture of the fortress
of Ghuznee, on which occasion he was appointed a K.C.8.,
and in the November following a baronet, for capturing the
fortress of Khelat, while in command of the Bombay column
of the Indus. His military decorations were the silver war
medal, with seven clasps, and the Order of the first-class
Dooranee Empire, conferred upon him by the King of
Affghanistan.

THE SPECIAL EXHIBITION OF ART OBJECTS AT
SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—The private view of this
exhibition was commenced yesterday, and will be continued
for the two following days. A very extensive series of works
of art, embracing almost every style, has been got together
from various private collections, many of which are of the
rarest and most excellent samples of art. The works in

..,
the precious metals and enamels, the ancient glass and pot-
tery, the majolica and the Sevres china, with the ancient
Celtic objects, are amongst the most remarkable of the ex
hibition, the detailed notice of which we postpone for rea-
sons that must be apparent.

NATIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE.—The annual meet-
ing of this association was held last night at the Whitting-
ton Club—Sir Jcshua Walmsley in the chair. The report
stated that since the Ist of January the committee had
cleared off their debt, and had now C7l. in hands after pay-
ing for the printing and post of 1,300 double-crown bills,
40,000 handbills, the annual report, &c. Th© Crystal
Palace Clubs were still providing workmen and their fami-
lies with the means of visiting that place of rational amuse-
ment. 'I he Sunday bands had made a successful commence.
ment of their seventh session, and were likely to be main-
tained by the revenue arising from the letting of 300 chairs
placed within the enclosure in Regent's-park. It was to
be regretted that the British Museum was still closed to the
working classes on Sundays, but it was a matter of congra-
tulation that the spirit and power of the Sabbatarian party
was broken, as it had failed in its efforts to shut up railways
and prevent travelling of all kinds upon Sunday. The
meeting was addressed by the chairman, Mr. Baxter Lang-
ley, Mr, Bastard, Mr. Kinney, &c., in advocacy of the
opening of places of rational amusement on Sundays. The
report was adopted, and the proceedings were closed in the
usual manner.

Loss OF A LIVERPOOL SHlP.—Private telegrams
were posted in the Liverpool Underwriters'-rooms yester-
day from Bombay, under date of May 16, reporting the
wreck of the Beechworth in Bombay harbour, when just
starting on her homeward voyage. She was a very good
ship, of 1,266 tons, built in the United States in 1856, and
belonging to Messrs. Willis and Co., of Liverpool. The
telegram first received reported her on shore on a rock, but
the second one states that she was breaking up, that her
cargo was still under water at flood, and that 400 bales of
cotton had been landed free from damage of any kind.
THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The boats connected
with Great Yarmouth which are engaged in the macherel
fishery met with but meagre success in the earlier part of
last week, but within the last day or two better catches have
been made, some boats having taken 200 to 300 fish each.
The quality of the fish caught have been good, and fresh
lots have realised 565. and over 14s. to 465. per 100. The
Lowestoft boats have obtained about the same results. The
season is not yet very far advanced, but it must improve
greatly to enable a favourable comparison to be made with
preceding years.

ST. THOMAS'S HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday the ad-
journed special meeting of the governors was held at the
hospital, London-bridge ; Alderman Sir J. Musgrave, pre-
sident, in the chair, supported by about 70 of the governors.

curing accommodation until the rebuilding of the hospital
having been read, a long discussion ensued, in which the
Earl of Leven, Mr. Tite, M.P., Mr. Alderman Salomons,
M.P., Mr. Alderman Ilumphery, Mr. Alderman Copeland,
Mr. Alderman Gabriel, and others took part. Resolutions
were passed empowering the grand committee to take all
necessary measures for securing without delay accommoda-
tion for the in-patients and out-patients in such place or
places as they may deem suitable, also for the accommoda-
tion of the officers and servants, who will be displaced in
July, and for the removal of the museum and library, and
further authorizing. the committee to take the necessary
Couortnesepoafratthede;

ception and accommodation of urgent cases, and for dis-
pensary business, at a cost not exceeding £15,000. Thanks
