STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)

MANCHESTER, Feb. 17.—The demand for the East
continues to be that which is most felt in our market ;
and it has been increased this week by the overland
advices, received on Monday, which appear to be, on
the Whole, of a tolerably favoourable character for yarns
and goods. Although prices are not generally quoted
higher, they mostly show a bias that way, while some
thing; are slightly dearer. These statements are mainly
applicable to mule and twist in the bundle, and to the
lower qualities of shirtings, jacconets, and mada-
pollams, suitable for India. The demand for water
twist is principally on China and Bombay account.
rhe current descriptions of twist and weft for home
manufacture are taken cautiously at the previous
rates, which are firmly maintained. Doubled yarns
from 60's downwards are bought up and very dear.
Domestics are quiet, but firm ; the lighter makes being
the best. In printing-cloths, the buyer has some ad-
vantage. The very large arrear of cotton at the Ameri-
can ports impart great strength to the Liverpool market,
and contributes to the firmness of our own.
GLASGOW, Feb. 17.—Our cotton market has been
more active during the past week, and closes firmly at
hi 1 rates,

BRADFORD, Feb. 16—Wool : there is a greater dispo-
sition to sell wools than a few weeks ago, but the induce-
ment offered is only such as to effect doublets in the
sales. Of down and half-bred wools there is an immense
stock for the season, and it is not improbable, if the
present dullness in this class continues, that they will,
by next clip day, suffer a further decline. Yarns—The
demand is not active, and chiefly to order. Pieces--
There is yet but little doing for the spring by the home-
houses, and this season having closed with the shippers,
causes an unusual dullness arising, however, in part
from the unsettled position of the political world.

INSPECTION OF TEE GUARDS BY
H.R.H. PRINCE ALBERT.

This morning the 3d battalion of the Grenadier
Guards, and Ist battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards,
were inspected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
preparatory to their embarkation for the seat of war in
the East. At ten o'clock the troops were paraded in
service marching order on the extensive parade ground
on the west side of Wellington Barracks, St. James's-
park, and their arms, accoutrements, and clothing in-
spected by the captains of companies, and subsequently
in line, by their respective colonels and field-officers.
The battalions then formed line in open order, to await
the coming of the Prince Consort.

Shortly before 11 o'clock his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, accompanied by Lord Hardinge, Lord Raglan,
the veteran Lord Gough, his Royal Highness the Duke
of Cambridge, and attended by a numerous and brilliant
staff, arrived on the ground by the Western entrance,
and was received by the troops presenting arms, the
bands playing the national anthem. Their Royal High.
nesses the Duchess and the Princes Mary of Cambridge
were present, and the portion of the ground near the
General was occupied by several of the elite of society.
His Royal Highness and staff having made a most
minute inspection of the men, who had the appearance
and of being eager for the fray, subdivisions were formed,
the column marched past in slow and quick time ; the
latter pace was enlivened by the air of the " British
Grenadiers." Line having been again formed, the troops
were marched four deep into square, enclosing the staff,
and were addressed by his Royal Highness, who expressed
unbounded satisfaction at their orderly and soldier-like
appearance. The troops fell back again into line, when
a general salute was given, and the inspection termi-
nated.

RAILWAY MEETINGS AND DIVIDENDS.

The railway meetings of the week have not been nu-
merous, but they present some points of interest. The
dividend of the South-Western, at the rate of 5 per cent.,
has been confirmed, and the traffic shows improvement.
The directors of the Great Western Company recommend
a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half-year, leaving a ba-
lance of 19,9641. to be carried forward ; but the meeting
has been temporarily adjourned, to ascertain the result

report of the East Indian Railway has been adopted,
and the works, it appears, are being prosecuted with
vigour. Arrangements have been made under which, in

Electoral Facts, from 1832 to 1863. Second
Edition. By Charles R. Dod. Whittaker and
Co.

It is simply justice 'to the public at large, as well
as to the compiler of this very admirable digest of
electoral facts, that we should at the present mo-
ment commend the volume most earnestly to the
attention of the general community. An ample
guarantee of the accuracy of the work is discover-
able, of course, on the instant, in Mr. Dod's firmly-
established and widely-extended reputation. His
" Parliamentary Companion " has long since come
to be regarded as the vade mecum of every one con-
nected, directly or indirectly, with the Legislature.
Dod in this way is as well known as Hansard in
reference to all that has to do with the two great
rival Houses under the roof-beams of the national
palace at Westminster. His " Peerage, Baronet-
age, Knightage," &c., must be regarded also as
another and a most remarkable token of Mr. Dod's
industry, of his vigilance, and of his perseverance.
Not one of his compilations, however, can be consi-
dered to have revealed these qualities more obviously
or more satisfactorily than the one to which we would
here especially direct the attention of the mass of
electors throughout the United Kingdom. Accept-
able at all times to the politician, it cannot fail to be
peculiarly so at the present moment, when the
whole framework of our representation appears to
be on the eve of changes as various as they are
comprehensive. It will be observed from the
very titre of the volume that it comprises a
survey of electoral facts extending over a pe-
riod of twenty-three years—over those twenty-
three years intervening between the New Reform
Bill of 1854 and the Old Reform Bill of 1831. A
familiar acquaintance with the pages of the work
satisfies us that the facts are therein, in truth,
" impartially stated," as the title-page promises,
and that the compilation constitutes, indeed, a
" complete" Political Gazeteer. It comprises, in a
compact and condensed form, all the infor-
mation that could reasonably be desired in
refer( ti candidate, and to mitt con-
in regwrd to_ th
for 4.3 es, • *sides its local
prevailing influence, the number of the hater((
electors, the annual value of the real property
paying income tax, the amount of the assessed
taxes, the principal trades, the more noted mem-
bers, the more remarkable contests, the extent of
the population, and, together with these suggestive
and important fragments of intelligence, gives the
polls for the last twenty years at every place re-
turning a member to Parliament. Altogether the
work is in its way a statistical masterpiece, such as
cannot but be peculiarly welcome to every indivi-
• dual interested to a greater or less degree in the
• general scheme of our system of representation.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 19.

The gale gradually abated last night.
Arrived—The Constitution, from New York; Isabella
Scott, Para.

Sailed—The Alps, with the mails, for Boston, &c.
The following additional casualties are reported :—The
Australia, which sailed from this port for New York on
Thursday last, was caught in the gale on Friday, and the
captain deemed it prudent to put back. While endea-
vouring to do so she struck on Taylor's-bank, and con-
tinued to thump heavily for some time. She was got off
at high water, and arrived in the river in a sinking state,
when, to save her from going down, she was run ashore on
the Devil's-bank, opposite the Sloyne, where she remains.
The Montezuma, which sailed on the 16th for Boston,
has also put back, after being ashore on the north end of
Burbo-bank. She is reported to be making water.
A number of casks of rum have been washed ashore on
Wallasey-beach from the barque Cher, kee. Many persons
partook of the spirit when it came ashore to such an ex-
tent that they became insensible, and one of them is not
expected to recover.
At Holyhead the gale raged with terrific violence.
The barque Penninghame, bound from this port for Rio
Janeiro. sought refuge in the new harbour at 1 p.m. on
Saturday, and at 3 p.m. drifted from her anchorage,and
went ashore on the rocks :,t Salt Island, and it was thought
would become a total wreck.

Medjid is the key of all, so that the new fortifica-
tions of Silistria may be compared to a bracelet, of
of which Silistria is the jewel, and Fort Abdul-
Medjid the clasp—the two being connected by the
minor forts forming a semicircle on each side.
These new forts on the plain are placed with strict
reference to the bastions of the town and their
rayon. All, with the exception of Abd-ul-Medjid,
have,been constructed within the last six months,
several with block houses of solid stone masonry
and all with deep fosses and drawbridges.

RIOT AT DEPTFOIM.—On Sunday evening a serious
disturbance took place in New King-street, near Dept-
ford Dockyard-gates,
between some men of the Lancs•
shire militia and a party of Irish labourers, which was
kept up until nearly midnight. The original cause of
conflict arose from a quarrel between a civilian and one
of the soldiers at the Sheer Hulk public-house, in the
same street. Inspector Goode, of the R division of
police, with six constables, doinx duty at the dockyard
station, went to quell the row, there being at the time a
dreadful fight between the railbit,,icakineoe and civiliansc.hi

gaged in preventing further breaches of the peace during
a period of several hours. Two powerful Irishmen,
named John Murphy and William Conden, were even-
tually locked up, and brought before Mr. Combo, who
sat for Mr. Trail yesterday, at the police court, with
two men of the Lancashire Militia, with their heads and
faces sadly contused. Their names are John Vince,
corporal, and John Brown, private. Brown deposed to
the act that ho was first attacked by Murphy, and
severely beaten with a quart pot, and Corporal Vince
proved that he was beaten down, and whilst in that
condition he was kicked in a brutal manner by the other
prisoner. Mr. Combe commented on the disgraceful
transaction, and its being on the Sabbath-day made the
offence worse. He then fined Murphy 40s. or six
weeks' imprisonment, and 20s, or one month in the case
of the other prisoner. It is much to the credit of the
officers of the militia that they did their utmost to aid
the police, whose oonduct was praiseworthy. The pri-
soners were removed by the gaoler to the police cell.

At starting yellow took the lead, closely followed by
red, but the go-off was not altogether so good as might
have been wished. Yellow and red at first left the other
two boats a long way astern, but they mended their
positions. Green, after a mile or so, overhauled yellow,
which had dropped astern after giving place to red.

Renault, who commands one of the divisions _
the camp, has left Paris. In consequence of these
different movements, and until the formation 01
the Imperial Guard, which is being pressed forward
as much as possible, the army of Paris will be Pre;
visionally composed of two divisions of infantry 0f
three brigades each, and of one division of cavalry
also of three brigades. In addition to this force,
which may be estimated at 35,000 men, there are
also the special troops of the garrison of Paris,
namely, two battalions of Gendarmerie d'Elitet one
of the Municipal Guard of Paris, one of Pomplersf
and four squadrons of Gendarmerie of the Seinej
and of the mounted Municipal Guard of Paris, all
of whom had been hitherto brigaded under the
command of the General Commanding the Ist sub'
division of the Ist military division. It is probable.
that when the formation of the Imperial Guara
shall have been in part effected, two of the brigades
of infantry of the two divisions will proceed to the
Camp of the North.
Accounts have been received from St. Louis, ill
Senegal, to the 4th ult. After the capture of Podor,
and the construction of a fort, in which a strong
garrison was placed, it was believed the natives
would cease to harass the French ; but M. Lebrun,
an officer of the navy belonging to the Pintadep
having gone out shooting in the vicinity of the
fort, was made prisoner by them, and carried some
leagues into the interior to a village called
N'dialma. On learning this, the governor-aeneral
ordered an expedition against the place. Wdialne3
is considered by the natives an impregnable
bulwark of the Dimar ; still, with the aid 0f
the inhabitants of Fodor and the neighbourhood,
who had retired to it, they threw up earthworks
as au additional protection to the place. The
