STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, May 27.—American advices to the 11th
inst. and subsequelA accounts to the 14th inst. show that
disappointment at the tameness of the Liverpool market
had occasioned a decline of fully ic. per lb. in the price
of cotton at New York and New Orleans. The
total receipts amounted to 3,017,000 bales against
2,742,000 at the corresponding date of last year.
The Liverpool market has continued inanimate since
our last advice ; yet cotton has quietly gained in value,
and is found by purchasers to be id. to id. per lb.
dearer this week than it was a fortnight ago. In this
market, the prices of yarns have exhibited a gradual
upward tendency ; and, taking an average of the me-
dium and lower counts of mule and water, in all forms,
we consider the advance to be id. per lb. within the last
16 days. Last week, there was a complete interrup-
tion of business after the Tuesday's market ; but, since
the holidays, there has continued to be a good
demand, both for shipment and for home consump-
tien. The rise of prices has undoubtedly restricted
the operations of buyers, and yet sales to a
considerable amount have been effected. Alto-
gether, the position of the spinner has latterly been
undergoing an improvement in consequence of the
price of his production having riset2 more than that
of the raw material. For jacconets, madapollams,
the lower qualities of 40-inch shirtings, T cloths,
and 7-8 and 9-8 printing cloths, there has been a
steady demand at rather higher rates. As regards
domestics, the situation of the manufacturer, which had
slightly improved, is again changed for the worse, and
that very decidedly, by the advance in yarns, which
cannot now be made into cloth except at a serious loss.
However, a rapid reduction of the stock, which has
pressed so heavily on the market, is now taking place.
This leads many to look for a speedy improvement.
NOTTINGHAM, May 26.—The lace and hosiery trades
are each in a less healthy state than we have had occa-
sion to report for some time past—the latter being
to some extent overdone by too large a production.
The dulness with respect to the former is owing to
fashion being at present decidedly against us except for
silk goods, for which there is yet a tolerably fair de-
mand. Silk is yet scarce and very dear, as is also
cotton for each trade, and their does not appear to be a
prospect of any immediate reduction in the price of either
one or the other..—Nottingham Journal.

Letters from Leghorn announce the arrival there of
her Majesty's sloop;Modeste, and that that )port would,
for the present, be head-quarters ; she was to visit Elba
on the day following her arrival at Leghorn.

marle-street, Piccadilly observe, opposite the York
Hotel. The Royal Exhibition. A valuable,
newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket
glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person
can be seen and known ono mile and a half distant ;
they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the
opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are cclearly seen
at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-
stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers,
and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important
invention in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary
powers that some, 3 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will
show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the
double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles
and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles.
They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket,
and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers
accordingly-. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful
power ; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 16 to miles
distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomon% opticians, have hi-
ve' to 1 invalnaWe preserving spectacle lenses, immediately
they are placud before imperfect vision, every object
appears clear and instinct, the most aged, defective sight
becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful,
natural, and original state. Deafness—Nevi Discovery—
The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful, and
newly-invented instrmalent, for Deafness, entirely different
from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has
been, or probably ever can be produced. Being of the
same colour as the skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables
deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as-
semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in
the ears are entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons,
