STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

..TVIANCIIESTER, Nov. 14.—There has been an increased
backwardness to operate, and the business of the day
has: been considerable. On the other hand, the
various counts of extra hard twist Continue in request
for the Mediterranean and Turkish markets, and,
being under contract, the spinners are enabled fully to
there is very little regular demand for anything ; even
command their prices. In the department of goods,
T cloths and longcloths being less in request. Of prices,
all that can be said is that their bearing appears to be
still against sellers.

PEALIFAX, Nov. 11.—We have no improvement to
report as regards the demand for worsted goods, which
is exiceedingly languid, and very little business has been
done. to•slay in oar Piece Hall. The inquiry for yarn is
very- limited, and the proportion of machinery not
running is unusually great. Wool is very quiet, with
the turn in favour of the buyer.
ROCHDALI!, Nov. 13.—The flannel market has been
a little quieter to-day, and the demand for goods not
so brisk ; but there has been little or no change in
prices. The wool market is steady, with a tendency
rather in favour of the buyer.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 14.—The market continues very
flat. There appears to have been even less doing-to-day
than. usual, and complaints are general. Short time
in the country manufactories is now general, and yet
stocks increase. It is to be hoped that there will shortly
be an alteration for the better.

MARKETS IVEWS.-•(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was again but moderately supplied with
English wheat. The demand, he wever, was rather inac-
tive, at about Monday's prices.

slowly, yet we have no change to notice in its value.
There was less doing is barley than on Monday. The
quotations, however, were telerably firm.
The sale for malt was steady, at late rates.
The eat trade was steady, at full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, at late rates.

THE "COMING" CAPTURE
London, England, 1854-11-15

THE SORTIE ON THE 27TH.

The partial success of the Russians at Balaklava on
the 25th emboldened them to make an attack on our
front (that of the 2d Division), on the extreme right of
the Allied position. At about 12 o'clock on the 27th
(writes an Artillery officer) we were ordered up to the
front, and it soon appeared that the Russians were
advancing in force—in masses of columns, as they
always move. Our field battery got into position
on the brow of the hill opposite to that over
which the Russians were advancing. We were just
in the nick of time, and peppered them most
thoroughly. They brought up a field battery, which
opened on us, and fired about 20 rounds, after which
the battery seemed to find our fire too hot, and limbered
up and retired. We continued to fire on the enemy's
columns as long as they were within range, but they
could not face it long, and our infantry went in at them
in splendid style, and finished them off. We took a good
many prisoners, and the enemy's loss in killed and
wounded was considerable, though I have not heard
from any authentic source what it was. The loss of the
21 Division was 65 (perhaps this number is correctly
stated, and the official return of 82 includes the losses in
the let Division, which came to the support of the 2d),
in killed and wounded. The on dit is that the sortie
was headed by Prince Menechikoff himself.

RUSS lA.

Accounts to the 3d inst. from St. Petersburg
state the great public sympathy shown, on the
death of Admiral Kernileff becoming known to-
wards his widow. The Emperor and Empress
have both sent her letters of condolence. The fol-
lowing is a translation of the Emperor's letter from
the St. Petersburg Journal :
"The gloricus death of your husband has robbed our
fleet of a distinguished Admiral, and myself of one of
my most beloved•fellow-labourers, whom I had fixed
upon to follow up the successful labours of Michael
Lasarew. To the mourning of the whole fleet, and the
sincere sharing by all in your grief, I cannot add more
in honour of the remembrance of the deceased than to
repeat with respect his last word,. He said, feel
happy in dying for my country.' Russia will not for-
get these words, and the honoured name of your chil-
dren will stand foremost in the history of the Russian
remain your ever well affected,
" Gatschina, Oct. 26." "NICHOLAS.

, -
The Empress, in her letter of condolence, has
named Madame Korniloff one of the ladies of the
oofrdtehre ofthe 4c Holy Grand Martyress Catherine,"
second i
class, the insignia of which order
were enclosed in the autograph communication.
The Russians look upon the death of Korniloff as
a severe loss to the navy. Ono of the Russian
journals, the Seornik,
one of the copious articles
relative to the operations in Sebastopol, from the
17th to the 20th of October, names seven superior
officers killed and 1,100 men wounded.
The Russians console themselves for these fear-
ful losses by stating that by the ensuing Spring
they will be replaced by fresh hands from among
the numbers ordered to be recruited in all haste
for the service of the army as well as for the navy.
roseO so nthheig2h7tdhuorifnOg a heavy storm from the westctober the water in the Neva
that the canals in the city were-fearfully overflowed,
and many streets filled with water therefrom. The
cholera appears to have regularly established itself
in St. Petersburg, as it has recommenced again,
and 30 new cases have been mentioned as having
occurred at the end of October.
Eight mercantile vessels had arrived at Cronstadt
between the 17th and 29th of last month, and 78
taken their departure.
Private letters from St. Petersburg state that
as soon as the Emperor had received Prince Men-
schikoff's aide-de-tamp, bearer of the despatch an-
nouncing Liprandi's successful operation of the
25th, he ordered the officer to be promoted two
steps, from captain of the first-class to colonel, and
then directed that Te Drums should be sung
throughout the empire. But in consequence of
the reception of two couriers on the following
morning, the Te Dennis were ordered to be sus-
pended. This was regarded as indicating the re-
ception of less favourable news.

AN OFFICER'S STUD.

I cannot say much in favour of my stud as to con-
dition, though in numbers it is very flourishing. I have
got three ponies and an Arab ; but., except the Arabs,
which keep their condition wonderfully, all the nags are
looking more like greyhounds than horses. One of my
ponies is a Russian, captured at Balakla.va ; another, my
Government pack poney ; and the third I picked up fur
1/. at a sale in Bulgaria. The Arab that I originally had
fell lame of ringbone, as I have now a very good beast,
an iron-grey, very good-looking, standing over 14 hands
2 inches, and compactly built. He makes an admirable
charger, and is as steady as a rock under fire, which is
everything to me now. 1 have been out on picket all
day with a demi-battery, and, though having to turn out
against two in the morning, it is now high time for me
to turn in.

HEALTH OF LON I)9Y DURING THE WEEK

(Front tie Report of the Registrar-General. )

Last week the total number of deaths registered- in
London was 1,150. In the ten corresponding weeks o
the years 1841-53 the average number was 1,011, and ii
this is raised in proportion to increase of population it.
becomes 1,112. From a comparison of the results
appears that the mortality is now not much in excess of
the tr-nal amount., but it exceeds is a inure important.
degree the point to which the usual mortality, in an im-
proved condition of London, might be reduced.
Cholera, which was fatal in the two previous weeks in
66 and 31 cases was fatal last week in 23. In the same
weeks diarrhcca numbered 40, 33, and 35 deaths. Nine
of the deaths from cholera occurred on the north side of
the river, the remaining 14 on the south side ; 3 of
which are returned in ;,he sub-district of St. Paul',
Deptford, 4in the district of Lambeth. Scarlatina has
for some weeks predominated among zymotic diseases.
In the first week of October the deaths ref' rred to it
rose t) upwards of a hundred ; since that time it has
fluctuated, near the same point, but its tendency has not
been to decrease.
The 23 deaths from cholera occurred in the following
sub-districts :—ln Brompton 1 ; in Belgrave 1 ; in
Westtninster, St. Margaret 1 ; in Marylebone, Christ-
church 1 ; in Tottenham-court 2 ; in Kentish-town 1 ;
in St. Giles South 1 ; in City of London North-east 1 ;
in St. Saviour 1 ; in Bermondsey St. James 1 ; in New-
ington St, Mary 4 ; in Waterloo-road (second part) 1 ;
in Lambeth Church (second part) 2 ; in Brixton 1 ; in
Camberwell 2 ; in Peckham 1 ; in St. Paul's Deptford
3 ; and in Greenwich East 1.
Last week the births of 839 boys and 727 girls, in all
1,566 children, were registered in London. In the nine
corresponding weeks of the years 1845-53 the average
number was 1,454.

At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the reading of
the barometer increased•to 30'42 in. by noon on Tues-
day. The mean daily reading was above 30 in. on
every day except Sunday and Saturday, and the mean
reading of the week was 30'114 in. The mean tem-
perature of the week was 52'2 deg., which is 2'5 deg. be-
low the average of the same week in 33 years. The
mean temperature was below the average every day
except Sunday and Saturday ; on Thursday and Friday
it was about 7 deg. below it, The highest temperature
of the week was 56'5 deg. on Sunday. The lowest was
27.2 deg , ox 4 deg. below the freezing point of water,
on Friday. The mean dew-point temperature of the
week was 33.6 deg. ; and the difference between this and
the mean air temperature was 36.6 deg. The wind blew
generally from the north-west and south-west. No rain
fell till Friday, and then the whole amount on that and
the next day was only 0.08 in.

THE TRANSPORTS FOR THE CRIMEA.

PORTS3IOIITH, Tuesday.—The impatience and anger de-
picted in every countenance at the slothfulness and inac-
tivity of the Government, in not sending out the reinforce-
ments so urgent at the present moment, are sufficiently
manifested at this port.
The same question is put by every one—" Are our gal-
lant and hard-pressed troops to perish without succour and
timely support?' Why we have at this port the Ajax,
60, screw, which could carry 800 soldiers; the Dauntless,
screw, which could carry 500 ; the Leopard, paddle, 500 ;
the Heela, 300; the Dee, 300—between 2,000 and 3,000
men within twenty hours. Why not, then, 1,000 of our
heavy cavalry, the household troops, be instantly for-
warded to the Crimea? .

The Southampton noble merchant-steamers could take
out the whole of the horses, whilst the war-steamers could
receive the men. Not an hour ought to be lost, more par-
ticularly whon we have the means at hand.

Orders have been given to fit up arrangements for 1,000
troops as soon as the Royal Albert, pa, screw, arrives at
Portsmouth.

The large ocean paddle-wheel steamer Europa, forming
one of the Cunard Company's British and North American
mail steamers, has been taken up by Government for the
conveyance of troops to the seat of war. She will proceed
to Dublin at the end of the week for the purpose of embark-
ing the 90th Regiment, at present stationed in Ireland.
The screw-steamer Alps, forming one of the Cunard
Company's supplemental vessels, has been despatched from
Liverpool to France, for the purpose of embarking French
troops at Toulon for conveyance to the seat of war, whither
she will proceed direct.
There are several steamers at Liverpool undergoing in-
spection, preparatory to their appropriation as troop-ships
for the conveyance of soldiers to the Crimea.

SHIPMENT OF STORES FOR THE EAST.

-----
Yesterday the whole of the officers, the mechanics, and
police of the II division, at present stationed in the Tower
of London, were most actively engaged in the shipment of
every description of naval and military stores from the
warehouses of the ancient garrison. The principal portion
despatched consisted of warm clothing, bedding, patent
iron bedsteads, preserved food, and various articles of con-
sumption for the sick, together with a number of large
tents. At a later hour in the day orders wore received to
prepare, with all possible speed, an immense number of
stores, and several thousand stand of arms, with ammu-
nition, which are intended for the several regiments about
to depart for the seat of war. Such is the great amount
of the orders forwarded from the Government autho-
rities to be completed in a few days, that additional hands
have to be employed day and night in getting the goods
on board the 'revels which are at present moored off the
river frontage of the Tower. Several steam-tugs aro also
in readiness in the Pool for the purpose of towing the
various craft down the river without delay to Portsmouth
and other parts, where the stores will be taken on board
the large steamers, which are ordered for departure in a
few hours.

THE ROYAL ALBERT.

WOOlVirCii, Nov. 14.—The Royal Albert, 121, screw
steam-ship, Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, was under
orders to be tried between the Nora and Mouse lights
yesterday, to ascertain her rate of speed under steam,
and the working of her patent trunk engines of 500-
horse power by John Penn and Son, but the order was
countermanded by a telegraph message in the afternoon,
and the question asked, When can the Royal Albert be
made ready for sear' The prompt answer was, "On Fri-
day next." Consequently, on Saturday morning the
country will be glad to lea!? that this splendid screw
steam-vessel, mounting 121 guns, is on her way to Porta-
-1 mouth, to fill up, without a day's delay, for service in the
Black Sea. The general excellence of the engines produced
by the constructors of the engines of the Royal Albert in-
spires confidence that they will work well, as they did
when tried at moorings, and that she will make a quick
and successful voyage to Sebastopol, where one hundred
of her guns might be landed in aid of the gallant troops in
the Crimea. The Royal Albert is also capable of convey-
ing from 1,500 to 2,000 troops, and there will be no want
of volunteers, if entire regiments cannot be completed on
short notice. For several years past attempts have been
made to abolish the kilti from the Highland' regiments,
but the honours earned by those who wore the kilt and
bonnet will, there can be no doubt, set the question at
rest, and instead of abolishing the prestige of the kilted
regiments, a great desire is expressed that at least three
additional Highland regiments should be raised.
An Admiralty order (by telegraph) arrived at Sheerness
countermanding the order for her proceeding out on a trial
trip yesterday, and she was therefore engaged swing-
ing ship for the purpose of adjusting compasses. Her pre-
sent orders are to be ready to leave here on Friday morning
next for Portsmouth. Mr. Hartree, manager for Messrs.
Penn and Son, arrived here on the evening of the 13th for
the purpose of accompanying the Royal Albert on her
trial trip and for inspecting the progress of setting up the
machinery in the Orion, and preparing the Pylades to re-
ceive her machinery. The latter vessel will be ready for
launching on the 23d inst. Her feed pipes will be com-
plete, and the boring through her dead wood ready to
receive her main shaft for connecting with her screw pro-
peller through the main bush.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Nov. 12.—As regards the Russian
reply to M. de Manteuffel's note of the 22d ult.,
the arrival of which will have been announced by
telegraph, little more is known than stated by wire.
The Emperor, it is said, does not consent to accept
the four points uereservedly, but is not indis-
posed to enter into discussions (discutor) of the
same as the basis for negotiations. At the same
time, it is asserted. that his Majesty, displeased
at the position which Austria has assumed to-
wards Russia, expresses his disinclination to
admit that Cabinet as intermediary, and conse-
quently desires that the Cabinet of Berlin should
take upon itself this .missioxt. It has been stated
in previous letters that M. de Manteuffel had al-
ready been informed of the probable nature of
Count Nesselrode's reply. His Excellency has
not therefore been surprised, nor have the genera-
lity of political men. Far from it as regards the
latter, since an impression universally exists that
the solicitation of the 22d was pre-arranged at the
suggestion of the Russian Government itself, and
that the nature of the reply, which is neither an
acceptance nor a refusal, was ha a certain measure
predetermined.

TURKEY.

The Hamburg News contains the following tele-
graphic despatch, dated Constantinople, October
go The six French hospitals established here
contain 3,000 wounded, and yesterday others
arrived in four steamers. Thirty pieces of cannon
and reinforcements of troops have been sent to
the Crimea. Yesterday at a Council of Ministers
it was decided to send there 50,0Q0 men. A corps
of English troops has landed at Redout-Kale, and
2,500 Egyptians and ammunition at Batoum.
Dysentery has prevailed much amongst the soldiers
of the army of Anatolia."
London, England, 1854-11-15

REINFORCEMENT FOR THE CRIMEA.

It is intended to send to the Crimea one more battalion
of the Guards, the 97th Regiment from the Pirzeus, the
62d from Gallipoli, the 34th from Malta, the 71st from
Corfu, the 82d from Edinburgh, and the 90th from Ireland.
There will be no difficulty, we understand, in obtaining
the services of any amount of militia that may bo required
to do garrison duty in the fortresses thus left ungarrisoned,
so that this very considerable reinforcement can be sent
without running any risk, or stripping the empire of any
of its necessary defences, nor are the means wanting of
supplying this great additional drain on our resources. Not-
withstanding the Peace Society, notwithstanding the in-
creased demand for labourin all trades and occupations, we
are
recruiting at the rate of 1,000 men a-week, and have as
little fear of wanting tie raw material of soldiers as if
we had a legion of spies and a whole army of crimps to
enforce the utmost rigours of conscription. The martial
and adventurous spirit of the nation is roused by the stir-
ring tidings which almost every post brings to our shores ;
and the service has regained in the midst of a bloody and
desperate war that popularity which it was in some danger
of losing in the piping times of peace. The cavalry regi-
ments at home will not be sent abroad, but will serve as
training schools for the recruits of the regiments on foreign
service. It is intended to raise each troop to 75 men, and
to add two troops to each regiment, which will give a total
increase of 1,500 sabres to the force in the Crimea ; and,
besides, all deficiency occasioned by casualties is to be made
up. It is proposed to purchase for the use of the cavalry
seasoned horses instead of three-year-olds, as better able to
bear the fatigues and privations of a campaign, and less
liable to injury by a long voyage,
The total reinforcement now proceeding to the British
army in the Crimea, or on the point of embarkation, is
about 7,000. It is anticipated that a considerable addition
will be made to that number.

ALLEGED NUISANCE ARISING FROM THE CITY GAS-
WORKS.

Mr. Saward, who appeared before the Court a few
weeks ago, and complained of a nuisance arising from
the City Gas-works, again attended, he stated, for the
purpose of answering some of the statements contained
in the report of the medical officer presented to the
Court at its last sitting.
The CEISIRMAN.—If Mr. Saward will commit to paper
the statement he wishes to make, the Court will be
most happy to entertain it. (Hear, hear.) The regu-
lar course will be to embody his ideas in a memorial,
instead of criticising the report of the medical officer.

OFFENSIVE STATE OF LEADENHALL-MAREET.

Mr. DAW, the principal clerk, read a letter which bad
been forwarded to him by the Lord Mayor, to whom it
was addressed by the Chairman of the East India Com-
pany.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said that nothing could be more
objectionable, or more detrimental to health, than the
smell arising from skins which had been lying in cellars
for three or four days, and sometimes a week. The East
India Company might rest assured that the timo was
fast approaching when the subject to which the letter of
their chairman related would be considered by the cor-
poration. (Hear, hear.) At the present moment there
was no other place to which Leadenhall-market could
be conveniently removed ; but be (Mr. IL L. Taylor)
thought that by-and-by public necessity would point
to Copenhagen-fields as the most appropriate site for
the skin-market.

THE FIELD AFTER A BATTLE.

It is a very easy thing, writes a soldier of the 68th, to
talk of war, but it is a very different thing to take a part
in it, or to view the field after it is all over—to see the
mangled bodies lying in all directions, their limbs torn
and broken to pieces, and some of them obliged to re-
main in the fields for some days before they can be at-
tended to. But in all these affairs the Russians have
suffered by far the most; and on the 26th a party of from
6,000 to 8,000 endeavoured to make their escape from
Sebastopol, but were seen found- out and many killed,
with about 800 prisoners ; the rest made good their retreat.
But I can assure you it is a very hard duty, for we have
not been undressed for more than two months, nor can
we take off our boots ; and we were a very long time
without tents, so that wo had to sleep in the open air
without any covering but one blanket and a greatcoat
and we are ♦ery often for four or five nights together
without any sleep and at very hard work in the trenches,
er watching the enemy while others work. The weather
has been very favourable to our cause ever since we
landed in Russia. If the winter or wet season sets in it
will very soon thin our ranks, and we must abandon the
enterprise.

AUSTRIA'S GOOD FAITH DOUBTED.

The Presse notices the statement of General
Canrobert, that Menschikoff had received rein-
forcements from the Danubian provinces, and
observes that thole muSt for this have been
treachery on the part of Austria. The Presse calls
for an investigation into this fact, and mentions
other circumstances to warrant a distrust of the
Austrian Cabinet. There is, we think, reason to
fear that Austria, as well as Prussia, would not be
sorry to hear of our failure against Sebastopol, for
they may think that it would give them an oppor-
tunity of imposing peace on their own terms.

THE CZAR'S SONS.
The two 0-rand Dukes, sons of tho Emperor Ni-
'holar3 whose arrival at Sebaztopol is mentioned u

General Canrobert's report of the battle of the sth
inst., hold high rank in the Russian army. The
Grand Duke Nicholas, third son of the Emperor,
is 23 years of age. He is Inspector-General of the
Engineering department, Aide-de-camp of the Em-
peror, titular Colonel of a Regiment of Dragoons,
of a Regiment of Grenadiers, and of the Regiment
of Cuirassiers of Astrakan. He is besides proprietor
of the 2tl Regiment of Austrian Hussars, and Chief
of the sth Regiment of Prussian Cuirassiers. The
Grand Duke Michael, fourth son of the Czar, is
22 years of age. Ho has the title of Quarter-
Master-General of the Artillery, is Commander of
the 2d Brigade of Artillery of the Imperial Guard,
Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor, Colonel of a
regiment of Lancers, of a regiment of Dragoons,
and of a regiment of Horse Chasseurs. He is,
moreover, proprietor of the 26th regiment of
Austrian Infantry, and Chief of the 4th regiment of
Prussian Hussars.
London, England, 1854-11-15

NARROW ESCAPES.

Mr. Wombwell, of the 17th Lancers, had a most ex-
traordinary escape, showing a monstrous deal of pluck.
His horse was—it is said two were—shot under him, and
he was taken prisoner, but while being marched off he
saw an opportunity, mounted a Russian's horse, aed gal-
loped back, rejoining some of his brigade who bad re-
formed, and charging again without sword and pistol.
Mr. Cook, of the 11th, also had a regular run for his life
of a mile and a half, pursued by the Russian cavalry, to
avoid whom he ran under range of the guns of one of
their batteries, and finally escaped. Major Clarke, of
the Greys, in addition to a bad cut in the neck, had his
horse's tail almost cut off by a sabre cut; and I hear the
gallant Adjutant Miller, an unusually powerful man, did
extraordinary execution when he got to close quarters
with them. Lord Cardigan was attacked by two Cossacks,
who with their lances gave him several pricks and rather
staggered him in his saddle ; but his lordship being well
mounted, and a good cross-country rider, and, moreover,
as cool as brave men ever are in real danger, parried
their thrusts, and escaped with the aforeiaid lance-
pricks is his leg.

TURKEY.

The Journal de Constantinople of the 29th Octo-
ber represents the speedy fall of Sebastopol as ine-
vitable. On the 23d the Allies were still 600
French metres from the fortress, but on the fol-
loving day they had got into a parallel 200 metres
nearer the place ; and two companies, composed of
the best marksmen among the Chasseurs de Vin-
cennes and the Zouaves, were able to "pick off"
th. Russian cannoneers at their guns. We are told
thLtt on the 25th the artillerymen of a whole Rus-
sian battery were killed by these unerring marks-
me u. The two 120-pounders with which the Eng-
lish played upon the war harbour proved a source
of great annoyance to the Russians, who were
obliged to place the ships as close as possible to the
coal's. On the 25th a new battery was to be un-
ma.l;ked and to fire red-hot balls at the Russian
flee t.

TBE CZAR'S ANSWER TO TEE P.RUSSIAN

NOTE.

The Press of Vienna contains a letter from St. Peters-
b*rg of the Ist, whieh says :
‘° A circumstance which took place on Oct. 30, in the
dra'xing-room of the Princess Tr--, proves that the no-
bility here have no great confidence in the suc-
cess of the Czar. The despatch relative to the
success which General Liprandi affirms he obtained
over the Allies was brought in, but no one
would believe the statement until the account given
of the affair by the enemy should have been seen. On
the proposition of a gentleman present, a collection for
the wounded in the Crimea was made, and it amounted
to 1,200 roubles. Afterwards another being set on foot
for the continuation of the war, only 150 roubles were
collected. The Czar had yesterday a long conversation
with Count de Nesselrode, in which he gave him the
neemsary instructions for the reply to be made to the
last Prussian note. The Czar persists in the sentiments
which he has hitherto manifested, and is disposed to
make concessions to Austria only. It is not difficult to
see in what they will consist ; the Czar, all of whose
troops are now occupied in fighting against the Western
Powers and the Turks, will avoid for the moment
engaging in any dispute with Austria. Political motives
will be put furward as the pretext, but in reality it
is for strategical reasons that the guards are to quit
the Austrian frontiers. The Czar expects a long war,
and is taking all the measures required to ensure his own
success in it. A new levy of 200,000 men is being pre-
pared in silence, and all the governors of the empire
have received orders to make the necessary preparations
to 'have that measure -executed promptly. The Prussian •
ambassador has, it is said, handed to the Czar au auto-
graph letter from his Sovereign."
