STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, April 7.—The market for shipping
yarns has been very depressed, with next to nothing
doing and lower prices. For home trade yarns th©
market has been very stagnant, with a decline of Id.
per lb. in prices as compared with Tuesday. Scarcely
any business has been done. The advices from
India continue to be discouraging, and those from
Bombay are considered to be particularly so, tend-
ing to prevent operations both in yarn aid cloth.
In cloth a continuation of the depressed feeling ex-
isting on Tuesday has stood very much in the way
of business, and prices are slowly but steadily droop-
ing. Failures and anticipated failures in London,
Liverpool, and here have a bad effect on business.
A desire to honour the memory of Mr. Cobden on
this, the day of his funeral, has no doubt helped to
lessen the desire to do business, which may be said
almost to have totally closed for the clay from the
hour of high 'Change, which is 2 o'clock.
NorrINGII.I3I, 7th.—There was a better attend-
ance of merchants and manufacturers at the Ex-
change-hall to-day, but the demand for lace yarns
was slow, and rates remained without material
change. The demand for hosiery yarns was limited,
and previous rates may for the most part be quoted.
There was very little doing in brown nets, and the
sales made were at about previous rates. Silks a
ready sale, and prices have a tendency to improve.

(Front the Illustrated London News)

I Probate of the will of Admiral the Most Noble Algernon
Percy, Duke and Earl of Northumberland, LG., P. 0.,
D.C.L., F.R.S., passed the seal of her Majesty's Court of

Marquis of Westminster, but has no issue. To her Grace
he loaves a life interest in the estates at York and Durham
over which he had power of disposition; he also confirms

THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT FROME.—An inquest

into the circumstances attending the death of Mary
Wallis, seventy years of age, who, it was supposed, had
boon, while quarrelling,murdered by the man, John Biggs,
with whom sho lived, took place on Thursday at Promo.

The facts of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our
readers. The man and woman quarrelled in their cottage,
Biggs being intoxicated at the time. The deceased was
found directly afterwards by a neighbour lying insensiblo
on the floor, and a little time afterwards she died. The
post-mortem examination did not discover any marks of
violence,

and of him who was yesterday placed in his last
long home it is now the most satisfactory reflection
that he was steadfast and true in his dealings,
honest and straightforward in his public career, and
always acted in accordance with the convictions of
his own principles of right. This has been proved
by his often choosing to take up views that were
quite distinct from those that were entertained by
the community. It may well be said that yesterday
was a day of general mourning over England, and
in many a home where the name of RICHARD
COBDEN had been a household word in years for
ever memorable in the annals of our history, the
sad ceremony was the theme uppermost in the minds
of those who were present in spirit, if not in body,
at his funeral. It is a proud thing to win fame;
but to gain the respect of one's fellow-countrymen,
and to receive tributes of regard from those of diffe-
rent politics and diverse shades of opinion, is a higher
and more honourable trophy ; and such offerings
were heaped on the gravein Lavington Churchyard.
The Bishop of OXFORD has written a letter, in which
he expresses his regret at being unable to attend the
funeral on account of ill-health, but laments the
great " national loss" which has occurred, and espe-
cially alludes to the personal qualities of the de-
parted. In many of the principal cities in the
kingdom the respect entertained for Mr. COBDEN
was shown in various ways. No more striking in-
stance of the manner in which individual character
may assert itself in England can be adduced than
the career of RICHARD COBDEN. He was yesterday
interred near to the spot where he was born ; but
his life was passed in far different pursuits than
those connected with the quiet locality of Dunford.
He won his position entirely by his own exertions.
He was self-made, and the country whose constitu-
tion permits such a man to flourish needs no change
worthy of the name in its social mechanism. It is
also a proof of what intellect and industry can
achieve, that the man who was told in his boyhood
by his master not to read, should pass in the matu-
rity of fame, if not of years, to his honoured grave,
the nation intent on his obsequies, the members of
Parliament envy his manners, and a twelfth part
of the House of Commons to mingle with the repre-
sentatives of the chief cities of England to do honour
to his memory. The retrospect of such a career is
suggestive and significant, and when the evanescent
excitement of the day is over, and the incidents
that rank so high in the estimation of many now
are passed away, there will remain much in Mr.
COBDEN'S life that the hand of time will spare, and
the touch of death cannot efface. Finally, we may
say, that all prejudice and party feeling have been
buried with his earthly remains, and that respect
and admiration for his talents and virtues survive,
to form an endearing wreath to his memory, the
better part of his labours which shall not be taken
away. The end crowns the work, is a true saying,
and the death and burial of RICHARD COBDEN have
been surrounded with attributes of regard, which
take from them the sting and victory, while we
rejoice to think that the faithful steward of many
talents has entered into his MASTER'S presence with
joy.

which is the last connecting link between the living
and the dead, was worthy of the occasion, and that,
could Mr. COBDEN have known what would take
place, he would have desired no better interment,
nor one that was otherwise arranged. "The greatest
political character that the pure middle class of
this country has yet produced" has passed away
from us for ever; but, even in our finite judgment,
it cannot be said that his work was incomplete, or
his mission unfulfilled. He rests from his labours
now, after a life spent in the service of his country,
and a career of more than ordinary toil and anxiety.
It cannot be said of Mr. COBDEN that his high
talents were unappreciated and his peculiar gifts
thrown away, for he was placed in circumstances
which called them forth in full perfection, and no
public man of our generation has received more
popular applause, or been permitted to witness the
success of his efforts in a greater degree. Yet,
beyond and above the worldly acclaim that he met
with, his private character may be said to have
reflected upon him the greatest honour and the
most enduring lustre. We are told that

The Navy Estimates of this year seem likely to
give rise to a good deal of discussion. Last even-
ing, on the vote for the artificers' wages, Sir F.
asked for an investigation into the question,
and asserted that there was a good deal of dissatis-
faction among the workmen employed in the public
dockyards. It would seem, however, from Mr.
LAIRD'S statements that these complaints are not
altogether well-founded. The hon. member for
Birkenhead, who must certainly be allowed to know
something of the matter, observed that the average
wages in Birkenhead and Liverpool were not more
than 255. per week, on account of the irregularity
of the employment, whereas the Government pay
was 275. Some time since certain employment for
12 months was offered at Birkenhead at 365. per
week, but no Government employe applied for it.
In other respects, he thought the men employed
in the public establishments had advantages. Alder-
man SALOMONS thought that the system of measure-
ment in the Government yards was defective, and
gave rise to discontent among the men, but the
general impression seemed to be that there was little
need for interference, since the men, on the whole,
were treated fairly, and had superannuation allow-
ances, besides half-pay in case of accident or sick-
ness. This is a very important proviso, and would
of itself decide many men with families on remain-
ing in the Government employ. A fair day's wages
for a fair day's work is what every man has a right
to claim, and certainly those in the public service
should form no exception to the rule, but
men working under Government have no
more right to make frivolous complaints or to
indulge in unreasonable expectations than any
others, and because the wages are paid out of public
and not private money there is no reason that they
should be raised above the fair average. We are
glad to learn from Mr. CHILDERS that special care
is taken for the instruction of the children of those
employed in the dockyards, which is no inconsi-
derable part of the benefits which the employe's
derive from their position.

It is not surprising that before the dispersion of
Parliament several members should be anxious to
learn some of the facts concerning our very un-
satisfactory relations with Bhootan. Nor is it at all
surprising, but rather in accordance with all previ-
ous experience of official answers to such queries,
that under the marvellous light which Sir CHARLES
WOOD threw on the affair every thing became co-
leur de rose. The gentleman selected as Envoy, so
far from having been irascible or imprudent, had
acted with singular discretion ; the force sent to ob-
tain redress from the Bhootanese had been com-
posed of the best possible elements, and was sent
just at the right moment. Demangiri had been

evacuated voluntarily, and the missing gun had not

been lost, but left behind. The officers had not been
wanting in skill nor the men in courage ; the deaths
had been few, and those few principally owing to

the explosion of a mortar, so that the mists raised
by hon. members were speedily blown away. But,
unfortunately, however true may be the official ver-
sion of the case, affairs in Bhootan are not altoge-
ther satisfactory. By following a timid and inde-
cisive plan of action, we have "failed to assert our
authority, or to put an effectual check on the inso-
lence or aggression of other native courts. There

is always so much delay before we get in motion,
and generally so much uncertainty as to the manner
of carrying out our objects, that we have in the
long run to put forth much more power than neces-
sary to subdue a petty Eastern province. It was
not necessary or advisable to annex Bhootan, but it
would have been wiser to have pushed boldly on,
and by some decisive stroke have asserted our in-
jured dignity in the face of all Bhootan. Sir C.
WOOD says that a temporary occupation of Bhootan
would have been unwise, because we must have had
the support of one party against the other, and
have got mixed up in the internal dissensions of the
country. But surely we are strong enough to hold
Bhootan without any assistance from either faction !

If, however, it was thought best to occupy the
Dooars, and by cutting off the supplies- from the
outer world to subdue the people, though this was
a less effectual and summary method of bringing
the assailants to reason, it should have been done
promptly and decisively. More Europeans should
have been employed, and certainly if the want of
water drove the troops from their position at De-
mangiri that important matter should have been
seen to before they occupied the place. If the offi-
cer under whose direction the place was evacuated
left two guns hehind as a parting Ligift to the
enemy, it was, to say the least of it, an extraordi-
nary proceeding. The guns were not lost,. says Sir
C. Woon—only, like the Irishman's tin kettle, they
are not available at present. The feeling of the
House was clearly that there had been mismanage-
ment at the outset, and Mr. SEYMOUR'S remarks as
to the probable indiscretion of Mr. EDEN were evi-
dently concurred in by the majority. Whatever
' the origin of the dispute, having begun it should be
firmly and quickly carried out. Our troops should
push on into the country and enforce submission
