STATE OF 7BADE.

MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—This market and the Liver-
pool cotton market have both regained much of what they
lost between last Tuesday and the end of the week. The
manufacturers of this district have taken what may be re-
garded, in comparison with the production, a fair amount
of twist and weft, from 60's downward ; and the agents for
Scotland have also been moderate purchasers of mule yarns,
from 40's to 60's, and up as high as 80's ; and, in the case
of all these, there has been more or less of a recovery of
price. The Levant merchants have done something in
coarse numbers, say from 24's downward; and they ha'e
found more of stiffness among sellers. For China descriptions
of water and mock water, offers have been made ; but, like
offers for India mule, they seem to--have led to no transac-
tions. Twofolds in general are firmer, in some kinds rather
dearer ; but the sales effected are of small amount. In
single and double above 100's there is no noticeable change.
Manufacturers have endeavoured, as far as they could, to
move along with the yarns they use, but they lag behind.
The holders of Eastern shirtings, especially of the heavier
sorts, find so little inquiry that it would be bootless to add
a fraction to the quotations. There has been some return
of demand to-day for certain kinds of printing cloths,
bleaching and dyeing fabrics, jacconets, T cloths, &c.,
partly for home consumption, and partly for shipment to
the Levant, and to some of the eastern and western markets
of South America; and pretty generally the bias of prices
is in favour of sellers.

There has latterly been a tendency to an increase
of demand, of a miscellaneous character, and evi-
dently for consumption at home and abroad. Buyers
are encouraged by the Qxtrome smallness of stocks and pro-
duction, and by the considerable fall of prices from the ex-
treme height to which they had nominally risen, some time
ago, under the influence of sanguine speculation ; but all
bona fide buyers are easily alarmed and made to pause, oven
as to small and necessary operations, by the slightest un-
favourable appearances, and hence the continual oscillations
we have In the market.

The fall in the price of cotton to the spinner, and of yarn
to the manufacturer, bears such a proportion to the decline
in the prices of their finished articles, respectively, as to
place the producers in a position not near so ruinous or
dangerous as that which they occupied a few months ago ;
and, as the increase of demand has enabled some of them
to take orders for a few weeks forward, there are in.
stances of a return to full work from short time or no time.
In other cases this resumption of production is ventured
upon without the preliminary of orders actually received,
and entirely from an increase of confidence in the future.
It is obvious, however, that this process can go only a very
little way without being arrested by a consequent rise in
the price of the manufacturers' and the spinners' raw
materials. The increase of work is, in fact, very trifling,
and it is less in spinning than in weaving. Many, who see
an apparent advantage in it, are deterred from its adoption
by the certainty that a comparatively small addition to the
use of raw cotton, would immediately run up its price so
high as again to place the article quite out of reach, and
shut up the mills once more.

HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—The market this morning
has again been very flat. No buyers from a distance have
been reported. The business done has almost entirely been
in the hands of local merchants, and small district buyers,
who have been dating transactions forward to January 1,
1863. Their purchases hava been miscellaneous, and not
very extensive, and have been chiefly confined to medium
good. Very little doing in the " jobbing" line. During
the week, business has been very quiet in the warehouses,
London and other wholesale houses purchasing very warily
even of lots offered to them at considerable reductions to
clear out." Several representatives of merchant houses
here, who have been in London and the larger towns since
last market, complain loudly of the unusual difficulty they
experience in effecting sales to any considerable amount,
notwithstanding the firm, and in many cases, advanced
rates which are being obtained for wools at the current
sales. Unions seem to be selling somewhat more freely,
although no advance, however slight, seems to be conceded
by the purchaser.

LEEDS, Tuesday—ln the Coloured Hall to-day, few
tweeds changed bands, but the parcels were comparatively
of an unimportant character; and even the samples of
spring goods, in light fabrics, that were shown only com-
manded an indifferent degree of attention. Stocks, how-
ever, are not heavy. In the White Hall, only a few par-.
eels of mediums passed during the period of business. The
clothiers are now getting into fair employment, in prepara-
tion for spring, and the operatives are generally in good
work, There is no material alteration in demand for flaxen
yarns, and prices are described as being exceptionally some-
what easier.

MEETING OF THE GREEKS IN LIVERPOOL.—In
accord with their brethren in Greece and elsewhere the
Greek population of Liverpool were to meet last evening at
their church in Canning-street. The impression in Liver-
pool was that the Greek residents of Liverpool, following
the example of their compatriots elsewhere, would unani-
mously select Prince Alfred as the future King of Greece.
RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.—THE STEAMER
HERO.—This fine steamer has at length eluded the vigi-
lance of the blockading squadron,and safely got to sea from
Charleston. 'When last heard from she had had 1,500
bales of cotton on board, and was waiting for a favourable
opportunity to run out, she having then made three unsuc-
cessful attempts to do so, each time narrowly escaping cap-
ture. She is a fine steamer of 1,000 tons, owned in Hull,
and commanded by Captain Peat. Her destination,we be-
lieve, is Liverpool. The steamer Herald, Captain Coxetter,
had arrived at Charleston previous to the Hero sailing.
This steamer left Bermuda on the 26th October, with a
valuable cargo, and the present is the fifththatmimere she has
succeeded in running the blockade. T

IMMUNITY TO RUFFIANS.—Why should one
single known bad. character be allowed at large ? What is
the use of a police force if it does not keep a sharp look-out
after the once convicted felon. Tho system of surveillance
should be very much closer than it is over these men, and
they should certainly be liable at any moment to be called.
upon to show what are their means of living. What is
your trade ? Are you actively engaged in it ? Whom do
you work for ? What do you receive ? These are ques-
tions which ought continually to be put to all those persons
who have once come under the professional ewe of the
police, and the correctness of the answer made tc those
questions should by no means be taken for granted, but
should, on the contrary, be rigorously inquired into. If a
man have no obvious means of living, and yet does manage
to live, it is high time that so extraordinary a mystery as
