STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manch.cster Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, July 12.—The yarn market continues
to exhibit a general firmness in prices, with a hardening
tendency in some descriptions. Spinnings suitable for
Russia are dearer, as are also doubled yarns. Buyers
operate cautiously, however, particularly those connected
With foreign markets ; and the business of the day has
not been large. The demand for home consumption is
the most active. In goods, also, the home demand is
Much the best, including printers, shirtings, madapol-
lams, jacconets, and long-cloths; and full rates are com-
manded. The extreme flatness of the Eastern trade,
especially to China, is affecting the value of 40-inch
shirtings, particularly the medium sorts, which are not
saleable at recent rates. The improvement in the me-
di.ure qualities of domestics is maintained ; but the best
kinds still lag behind. The makers of such cloths as
are. most ready of sale and most improved in price, com-
plain very justly, however, that the advantage is taken
fout of their hands by the high price they have to pay
or their materials. At present rates, considerable loss
Is Incurred in some extensive branches. The diminished
consumption which' there certainly is at present, does
Rot prevent cotton from still tending upward in value.
1p Liverpool it gets rather dearer, and also in the
American markets. It would seem from the purchases
of the trade that they are at present increasing their
stock on hand
yesterday, at a most influential meeting of Manches-
-4r spinners and manufacturers, a local union was deter-
ralned upon. To-day, a very numerous meeting of mill-
°Ur
ners, from all parts of the district, unanimously
lyadopted resolutions as the basis of a general association,
Whose main objects seem to be to assist in forming dis-
trict unions ; to obtain from them lists of wages ; to
the
such lists ; and to communicate the results to
W'oe local bodies. A short notice of the proceedings of
ill /fleeting and the resolutions adopted by the latter,
ll be foundelsewhere.
toIUCIIDALE, July 11.—There has been a dull market
1,:(14Y, and
.very little inquiry for goods, yet full prices
"'ve been given for what has been sold. These last
the
weeks the manufacturers ave raised the wages of
a Power-loom weavers and piecers ; the former 121
and the latter 10 per cent. This day (Monday), in some
thof the milLs where the higher wages had not been paid,
e hands turned out ; but they returned to work under
e promise that they should receive them at the end of
the present week. The wool market has been remark-
ably quiet, and the manufacturers seem determined to
Wait the result of the London sales.
HALIFAX, July 9.—Every branch of the worsted
trade, from the raw material to the finished article, is
Paralysed by the threatening aspect of affairs on the con-
tinent, and the transactions are so limited as to render
prices little more than nominal.
HUDDERSFIELD, July 12.—0 n the whole we have had
a, quieter market than usual ; there have been fewer
buyers in town, and their purchases have been con-
teted• Merchants buy cautiously, and generally to
wi!,l2. their immediate orders. Speculators are quiet,
and Their
generally attributed to the Eastern uestion ;
until Something final is known respecting it we may
xpect to have quiet markets.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCES BETWEEN THE IRISH AND
TIE ITALIAN REFUGEES. Leath For the last few days
Leather-lane
scener-lane Holborn, and Baldwin's-gardens have
been he of much Hot and dibance, owing
Lc an ill feeling that has arisen betweenstur the Italian re-
fugees, friends and partisans of the Padre Gavazzi, and
the Irish, who are thickly located in the neighbourhood.
The cause of quarrel is of a politico-religious aspect, and
441! such it has taken a rather serious turn. It appears
''"at the Italian refugees of 1848 adopted the above lo-
cality as their general rendezvous, and some time since they
breearne most inveterate in their dislike to the Roman
Catholic clergy who officiate in the district, and have
I,4z'l'ied it to the extent of attempting to assassinate an
~ -
re`7‘olian priest who had a mission there, he having been
b e gnised by some of them as an "aristocrat," who had
e°,. inimical to the popular cause in Italy. The removal
a111"is gentleman, it was imagined, would have created
Co,tter understanding ; but such has not been the case,
fir ulle Irish clergymen who have taken his place, the
h,"' All% Gilligan and the Rev. Mr. O'Connor, have
ba-c°, '5ll several occasions insulted by the Italians while
e' 88'4 through the streets. On Sunday eveninglast, how-
uvre.r,,,,ili.,a,.tters were brought to a fearful crisis, the Rev.
and `-'4,illigan having been assaulted in Balwin's-gardens,
Italian"l assailants retreating into a card kept by an
da /lamed Tresoldi. This was followed up on Mon-
-3' evening by an assault on the Rev. Mr. O'Connor,
tvvi
ev leisoaNsvahseklyanoscked down and ill-treated by the same Par-
passing the caszi, about six o'clock in the
ening. The Irish, who witnessed this unprovoked
outrage at once made an attack on the house, and broke
soars of, the windows, and but for the timely arrival of a
few policemen, serious damage, if not loss of life, might
have ensued. If the authorities do not interfere with a
large force, and a determined purpose, loss of life will
unquestionably follow.
EAST INDIA PROPRIETORS.---Mr. Bri ht M.P has
obtained a return (printed yesterda
y) ofgthe number of
proprietors of East India stock on the 3d of June last ;
of the number entitled to vote in the choice of direc-
tors ; of the number entitled to more than one vote ;
and of the number who actually voted at the elec-
tion of the ten last elected directors. The document
also contains an account of the ballots or divisions
Which have taken place in the Court of Proprietors
since April, 1834, and of the annual allotment of the
Patronage, civil and military, of the Court of Directors
since the same period. It appears that on the 3d ult.
there were 1,785 proprietors of East India stock, of
whom 1,055 were men and 320 women. Of the number
1,055 men and 320 women were entitled to one vote,
235 men and 72 women entitled to two votes, 50 men
and 12 Women entitled to three votes, and 34 men and 7
omen entitled to four votes. It seems that, in 18d 7
W 44 _
205 proprietors voted on the occasion of the election of
the last 10 elected directors, of whom 203 were men and
`, women. In 1845 108 voted-107 men and 1 woman.
"311847 the number who voted were 1,594-1,256 men
and 338 women. In the same year 1,516 voted. In
1848 the number was 1,516 ; in 1850 1,636, and on
another occasion in the same year 1,432 ; in 1851
1,563 ; in July, same year, 142 ; and on the 13th of
,April last 1,612 voted.-1,236 men and 376 women.
The remainder of the document has reference to the pro-
ceedings of the Court of Directors and the distribution
of their patronage, civil and military.
