THE NORTH MAIL.

----- -
Mr. H. G. LIDDELL moved for a return of the
time at which the night mail from London was due at
York and Newcastle-upon-Tyne respectively, under the
present arrangement ; of the date when such arrange-
ment took effect ; and of the actual time of arrival at
York and Newcastle each day, from that date to the
last day of December, 1853.
Sir GEORGE GREY complained of the delay whirl'
took place in the delivery of the north mail, owing to its
being carried round by the Midland instead of the Great
Northern Railway.

-
Mr. WILSOg. readily assented to the motion, and
said he was quite aware that there were good grounds
fur the complaint. The subject was now under the
careful consideration of the Postmaster• General.
Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR said the railway com-
panies were quite ready to treat with the Postmaster-
General upon the most liberal terms, consistent with a
due regard to their own interest. He would suggest
that the city of Glasgow should be added to the return.
After some further discussion, the motion was agreed
to.

THE ADDRESS.
Lord CASTLEROSSE brought up the report on the
Address.
On the motion that it be read a second time,
Mr. A. PELLATT took the opportunity of congra-
tulating the country upon the prospect of an amendment
being made in the law of settlement. He was also de-
lighted to find that some improvement was contemplated
in the Ecclesiastical Courts.

The report was then agreed to, and a committee ap-
pointed to present the address to her Majesty.
The other orders were then.disposed of and the house
adjourned at half-past two o'clock.

Abbas Pacha has signed the loan contract concluded
in his name by different merchants and bankers at
Constantinople. In' addition to this he has sent to the
Turkish Government about Iho,ooo muskets, and more
than 3,000 bales of rice.
According to private advices from Constantinople,
under date of the 16th inst., Namik Pacha has suc-
ceeded in negotiating a loan of 16 million pounds ster-
ling with 'several commercial firms in England and
France, without the interference of Governments. It is
to be issued at 78, under the sole guarantee of the
Porte.
It is now known, from official inquiries, that 4,155
Turks perished at Sinope, about 158 were carried off
by the Russians, about 450 reached Constantinople safe
and sound, more than 300 were severely wounded, of
whom about one-half died, not having received for
several days the succour they required, in consequence
of the utter confusion that prevailed.
The Russians amused themselves, after the destruc-

tion of the ships, with firing at every boat laden with
the crews, on every poor wretch even that was seen
clinging to a plank or struggling in any way against
death, They kept up their fire until they hit the object
and caused it to sink.
Advices of the 19th say that the Wallachian peasants
sell all their cattle to avoid Russian transport service.
The Russians prohibit the purchase of cattle from the
peasants.
The Montenegrin fugitives have returned from Cat-
talo to Montenegro.
It is rumoured that Milosch has crossed the Servian
frontier with Russian troops.

OMER PACHA'S REPORT OF THE BATTLE
OF CITALE.
OFFICIAL COMUUNICATION—JAN. 15.
Translation.— Summary of the Field-Marshal Omer
Pacha's report from the Imperial Camp, which arrived
late yesterday evening
As already announced, his Excellency Ismail Pacha,
with Ferik Mnstapha Pacha, marched from Kalafa,t
with 14 battalions of infantry, 3 regiments of
cavalry, and 4 field batteries to Tchatan, distant
six hours from Balafat, having left a reserve of three
battalions in the surrounding villages. The Russian
force amounted to 15 battalions infantry, 3 regi-
ments cavalry, with 24 cannons. A sanguinary action
ensued in the adjacent plain, in which, praise be to God,
our troops, having destroyed four battalions of the ene-
my's infantry, the remainder fled in great disorder. The
loss of the Russians, besides great numbers of wounded,
amounted to 4,000 killed ; that d our army to 300
killed, and 700 wounded, and amongst these latter his
Excellency Ismail Pacha, Ferik Mustapha Paella, Hus-
sein Bey, Miriliva, Ali Bey, artillery officer, and Hus-
sein Bey, commander of the Redifs.
The conduct of our officers, subalterns, and soldiers
is beyond all praise. After the action our troops forti-
fied themselves at Tchatan with a reinforcement of seven
battalions and two field batteries.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Jan. 31.—At Bombay, the market was
very dull ; and, although trade was rather better at
Canton, it was in a sad state in Shanghai. Accounts
have rendered the market very fiat, and prices at any
rate less firm than they were ; indeed, purchases are
made at a concession of id. per lb. in yarns, and 14-d.
per piece in cloths, not of all kinds, but of various de-
scriptions. Altogether, we have to report the day's
transactions as of extremely restricted aggregate amount,
on somewhat lower terms.

ROCHDALE, Jan. 39,—We have bad a very quiet mar-
ket to-day in flannels ; the merchants show no disposi-
tion to purchase at the present time. The wool market
is inactive, particularly in the finer qualities of wool, but
prices have undergone little or no change.
HALIFAX, Jan. 28.—The demand for worsted goods
of all sorts has been very limited in our piece hall to-day,
and very few pieces have been disposed of. Considering
the season and the existing adverse circumstance, there
is a fair business doing in yarn for shipping, but at very
unsatisfactory rates.
HUDDERSFIELD, Jan. 31.—The market has generally
been quiet to-day. The goods which have been sold are
principally light mixtures for the coming season.
BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 30.—The prospects of the iron
trade remain yet unruffled—warlike intelligence, high-
priced food, or rumours of tightening money markets
among our foreign customers, seem equally impotent to
offer any impediment to its satisfactory progress.
