STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

. .
MANCHESTER, Aug. I.—We have to report a decidedly
firm market in the medium and lower counts of water
and mule yarns ; indeed, for some descriptions slightly
higher prices are required ; this, however, is not gene-
ral. But it is found that, having supplied their imme-
diate wants, the buyers now hesitate to oper-ate further
at the extreme rates demanded. This is particularly the
case with the home manufacturers of such cloths as have
either not risen at all, or not in nearly the same pro-
p ntion as tne yarns from which they are made—a state
of things which is much too wide-spread. The re,ult is
that the buiness of the day has been a gond deal re-
stricted in amount. The want of demand for China is
felt in these numbers of water twist, which are usually
sent thither.

HALIFAX, July 29.—The aspect of trade in our Piece
Rail to-day exhibits no improvement, either in demand
or price ; and there is very little disposition to purchase
any description of goo'ls. The spinners have a large
propirtion of their machinery wholly. or partially unem-
ployed ; but they are, in general, unwilling to enter into
contracts, as the prices offered are not remunerative.
The wool market is inactive, with the quotations firm.
ROCHDALE, July 31.—0 n account cif the upward ten-
dency of the raw material, the manufacturers ask more
for their goods, which has limited the amount of business
transacted. English wool is scarce at present, and the
dealers have very light stocks on hand.
HUDDERSFIELD, Aug. I.—The market to-day, both in
the cloth hall and the warehousei, has beerl quiet. Few
buyers have been in attendance. The amount of busi-
ness transacted will not equal last week.

MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSIpN BILL.

This bill a:so passed through committee.
PUBLIC REVENUE AND . CONSOLIDATED

FUND CHARGES BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved
the second reading of this bill.

Mr. MACArttNEY opposed the second reading on
the ground that schedule B of the bill was partial, and
would not equally affect the salaries of all clerks in pub-
lic offices. He thought it would be much better to re-
vise the whole subject during the recess, and have a
complete bill introduced next seesion.

Colonel DUNNE also expressed objection to the
bill.

The bill was then read a second time without further
discusslon.

SUPPLY.

The house then went into a committee of supply.
On the motion for a grant for 1,040 additional men
and non-commissioned officers for the Royal Artillery,
Captain L. VERNON asked, •as an act of justice to
Sir J. Burgoyne, why Sir H. Ross should have been
appointed to be Lieutenant-Genyral of the Ordnance ?
. Mr. MONSELL assured the hon. member that it was
imposible any slight could be intended for Sir J. Bur-
goyne.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
this was an appointment emanating from the Crown,
and he doubted the propriety of introducing incidental
di:cussions on such a subject as this. As to Sir J.
Burgoyne, no terms of praise could be too high for Ins
merits. (hear.)
Captain LAFFAN believed that the reasons which
had led to Sir H. Ross being appointed over his senior
woltd be hon,mrable to Sir John Burgoyne
himself, and satisfactory to the country. He (Captain
Laffan) bad an interview on this subject with the Mi-
nister for War (the Duke of Newcastle), who said that
Sir J. Burgoyne having made a reconnaissance in the
East, his'advice and services were found so invaluable
by the GOvernment on his return to England, that it
was deembd extremely desirable to retain him at home.
The vote was then agreed to.
A sum of 58,139/. for the payment of the said Artil-
lerymen was then agreed to.
A. sum of 840,7851. was next agreed to, for the pay-
ment of the Customs' officers.

A sum of 1,154,5941. was also agreed to, for the pay-
ment of the officers of the Inland Revenue department.
The Militia Pay Bill was read a second time.
The Midland Great Western (Ireland) Railway Bill
was read a third time and passed.
The Militia (Scotland) Bill as amended was reported.
The Public Health Bill was read a second time.
The house adjourned at six o'clock.

COURT CIRCULAR.

OSBORNE, AUG 1.
The Queen and Prince walked out yesterday in the
grounds.
The royal children also took their usual exercise.
The Hon. Mary Bulteel has succeeded the Hon. Lucy
Kerr as maid of honour i❑ waiting, and Capt. Du Plat
has relieved Colonel Seymour as equerry to the Prince.

G. J. Wood, LL.D., member of council of University
College of London, and J. Storear, I‘l.D , of University
College, had an interview with the Earl-of Aberdeen
yesterday, at his official residence in Downing street.
The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and Sir
Alexander Spearman had an interview with the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence
in Downing-street.
-Dr. Forbes Winslow had an interview with the
Earl of Aberdeen at his official residence, Downing-
street.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge
and the Princess Mary are about to leave Camhridge

Highnesses intend to sojourn about three weeks.

The Earl and Countess of Cawdor left South Audley-
street yesterday, for Caw•dor Castle, N. 8., for the sea-

WAGES AND LABOUR IN CANADA.—So great is the
demand for labour of every kind in Canada, that the
farmers are now inducing men to quit the railway and
other public works in progress there, by giving thein
not only the cash wages they receive from contractors,
namely,
,one dollar, or 4s. 2d. sterling a day, but they
also furnish them with their board into the bargain.
Boys of from 11 to 14 are now found so useful that they
are earning, both on the works and as farm servants,
from las. to 225. sterling a month and their board.
What the latter is may be judged from the breakfast
which a gentleman lately saw one of them eat on the
Grand Trunk Railway :—a large slice of roast beef, five
mealy potatoes, two thick slices of first-class wheaten
bread, and an egg-cup of fresh butter, washed down with a
pint of unskirnmed milk. How many thousand boys in
the old country would think their fortunes made if they
had the wages without the board ! Active well-grown
lads of 17 receive mens' wages, and no young man past
18 would work for less. About three years ago some
300 young girls, of ages from 11 to 15, who had been

LETTER FROM THE BALTIC FLEET.

• BARO SOUND, July 18.—One of the grandest spectacles
ever witnessed in this or past ages is that afforded at the
present moment by the allied fleets under Admiral Sir
Charles Napier and Admiral Parseval-Deschenes, at anchor
in Baro Sound.

A deseription of this Sound has so frequently appeared
in your columns that it would be superfluous for me to say
more, save that it is protected 'by a huge circular break-
water, formed by nature of a chain of rocky islands. Upon
one of these is erected the now famous Renskar Lighthouse,
and from the summit is distinctly discerned the Russian
fleet at nelsingfors. Two small specks upon the ocean
paint out the Euryalus and Cruiser (English men-of-war)
blockading the Russian arsenal, and bidding defiance to
their fleet. On the 17th inst. the following men-of-war
were at anchor in Baro Sound :

RUSSO-DUrca LOAN.

- ---•
Lord D. STUART called the attention of the house
to the termination of all obligation on the part of this
country, in consequence of the conduct of Russia, to
continue to make any payments on account of the Rus-
so-Dutch Loan, and he moved a serf-s of resolutions,
the effect of which was. that Russia, by her neglect to
maintain at the Salina mouth of the Danube the works
necessary to prevent obstacles. to its navigation, had vio-
lated the treaty cf Vienna and injured the commerce of
this country ; that upwards of 4,000,0001. had already
been paid towards the principal and fir the interest of
the Russo Dutch Loan, and that 3,386,0001. more would
be required ; and that, inasmuch as the convention of
1831 between England and Russia secured the payment
to the latter part of her old Dutch debt, in consideration
of her adhesion to the general arrangements of the Con-
gress of Viennas the withdrawal by Russia of that adhe-
sion made it proper to 'suspend the payments. His lord•
ship supported these propositions in a speech of great
length, most of it delivered to a house of consijerably
fewer than forty members.

THE LATEST ON DIT.

The officers of the army here by no means lead that
life of luxury which some of the fast generation at borne
say that young men of the present time cannot do
without ; except a few fortunate ones, who may possess
a bedstead or indiarubber bed, all sleep in their clothes
on the ground, with a blanket or two to corer them.
They hare certainly tents but the nights are bitterly
cold, especially when the wind is north, as it now is.
It is impossible to say when Sebastopol will be taken.
I hear that we are waiting for the French, who are
mining at the Quarantine-ground, near the sea. When
they are ready we are to make a false attack, while
they spring the mines and rush in. Such is the on dit.
For the present I finish.

REINFORCEMENTS FOR TEE CRIMEA.

We are informed that it has been resolved not to send
the Ist Battalion of Grenadier Guards to the Crimea.
Large drafts from the battalions left in London embark
at once, and will be followed by others as fast as th•
men can be obtained. This is considered better than
sending another battalion.

A detachment of Artillery, consisting of 5 officers and
45 men, arrived in Liverpool from Woolwich yes•
,erdo.y morning at 4 a.m. They will be despatched for
the seat of war this day (Saturday), per the Europa
steamer, which will also call at Kingstown to take on
board the 90th Regiment, consisting of 3 field-officers,
3 captains, 15 subalterns, 57 servants, and 821 rank
and file.

The following are the numbers of the troops and the
officers who embarked in the Cleopatra at Cork for the
Crimea :-21st Fusiliers-2 sergeants and 120 privates.
30th Regiment-2 officers (Captain Robert Dillon and
Ensign Alfred John Austin,) 1 sergeant, and 50 pri-

Yesterday Mr. Lochlona, the Admiralty broker, at-

public competition. The vessel was captured by her
Majesty's ship Miranda, Capt. Lyons, off Lapland, dur-
ing the prosecution of the White Sea blockade, oa the
29th of August last. Her cargo was salt fish, which
merely produced a nominal price. The first offer for
the Dwina, described as a schooner of 100 tons burden,
was 1501. A spirited competition hereupon ensued, which
ended in the vessel being sold for 4401.

DURABILITY OF GUTTA PERCHA.
TUBING. —Many inquiries hiving been made as to the
durability of Gutta reuha Tubing, the On ta l'ercha Company
have much pleasure in giving publicity to the following letters from
parties who have had it in use for a considerable length of time:
FICOM Sll RIYMOND JARVIS,BART., TENfNOR, ISLE

OF WIGHT.
(Second Testimonial.)

, "In reply to your letter received this morning, respecting the
Gatta Percha Tubing for pump service, I can state. with much satis-
faction, it answers perfectly. Many bailders and other persons have
lately examined it, and there is not the least apparent difference s nce
the first laving down, now several yaars ; and I am intormed that
it is to be adopted generally in the houses that are being erected
here."
FROM C. HACKER, EqQ., PURVEYOR TO HIS GRACE THE
DUKE e' BEDFORD. .vOISURN PARK.
(Second TeStirillOtli al .1
jface of 'Yorks, Wobirn Park.

" Gentlemen,—ln answer to your inquiries respecting the Gutta
Pei cha rlltbill; for pump suctions, I tint that the water has not
affected it in the least, although it will eat lead through in two
years; we. have adopted it largely, being cheaper than lead, much
easier fixed. and a more perfect job."

OUR MISSING orricsßs AND MEN.

October 29.—The hopes entertained so fondly that a
considerable number of our missing officers were in the
hands of the Russians as captives have been rudely de-
stroyed to-day by the result of Captain Fellowes' mis-
sion to their camp. Of non-commissioned officers and
privates they have 58 prisoners, of whom 15 only are not
wounded. It follows that our actual loss in killed on the
field in that fatal charge amounts to 108 men and 11
officers. The 15 men who are unwounded were allof them
dismounted by the enemy's shot. It is added that tke
officer who received Capt. Fellowes expressed his opinion
that our attack was a " chargi des foul." Very com-
plimentary, certainly !
CUPIDITY OF THE COSSACKS.

There is too much reason to believe that the gay jaokets
and rich trappings of our Light horsemen—privates and
officers—excited the cupidity of the Cossacks, who did
not scruple to kill the wounded as they lay on the ground
for the sake of their uniforms. They knew that they
would net be allowed to take the clothes of the men who
were alive, and so, more Tartarico, they made short work
of it. "Do you see that," exclaimed a Russian officer to
one of ours, pointing, as he did so, to the gold cord of a
shako ? " Yes." " Well, I can tell you one of our Cos-
sacks would ride 100 miles to get hold of such a pretty-
looking thing." How much easier would be the task of
lancing the men who lay on the ground close at hand to
them !

le saved Much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
ess importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
