STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)

MANCHESTER, Dec. I.—Tuesday's market was the most
gloomy one we have had for some weeks, as well from
existing depression as from a discouraging view regarding
the future. We are not without other slightly encouraging
symptoms in our market, such as indications of the approach
of a better demand for several kinds of domestics, and
an apparent pause in the decline of prices at large. These
more favourable signs may be only illusory, as feared
by many, but, for the moment, they certainly relieve in
a small degree the despondent tone of our greatly de-
pressed market. We learn from merchants that the
manufacturers of Germany have a sound trade ; and it is
much in their favour that the price of rye, the staple
food, is receding ; a fall equal to 6s. per qr. has just
taken place. The previous extreme indisposition to buy
yarns from our spinners for that country remains, how-
ever, unabated ; and a restoration of confidence will
probably be a slow operation.
NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 30.—A few houses in the hosiery
trade state that they are doing a small increased busi-
ness ever the amount they had been doing for some
weeks past, but to do this business orders are taken 'at
unremunerating prices.
LEICESTER, Nov. 30.—The Government orders and
others for wrought knit hose, stout shirts, drawers, and
gloves, besides a large quantity of warm fancy hosiery,
have very much relieved our market and kept up em-
ployment. Stocks of ether kinds of goods are light ;
and as there is firmness in worsted yarns, and spin-
ners well employed in contract or other orders, the
operatives are tolerably well employed. Still, the high
price of provisions bears very heavily on them, as no
increase in their wages takes place. Cotton yarns have
receded a little. There is but little doing in wools,
growers not being willing to take less than 28s. per ton
at present.—Leicester Journal.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

( From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

LEEDS, Dec. I.—There has been no change in the
state of the woollen market this week that requires any
notice. On Saturday, as well as on Tuesday, the
markets in both Cloth-halls were of a quiet order, and
the transactions •f a limited character. Prices remain
without change, and stocks are without material alte-
ration. The trade in the warehouses has been flat
during the current week, but this is usual at this period
of the year. During the month of November, we be-
lieve, the trade done in the warehouses has not been
below an average of ordinary years.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 28.—The market was notably
flat to-day. Everybody seems to be doing as little busi-
ness as possible.
ROCHDALE, Nov. 27.—There has been a tolerably good
demand for flannels to-day, at prices similar to those of
the previous Monday.
BRADFORD, Nov. 30.—Wools.—The same dulness
we have reported for some time prevails. The con-
sumption of all kinds of combing wool is diminished,
and farmers still hold at prices which cannot be obtained
here. Yarns—This branch is suffering, a result, no
doubt, produced by the unsound trading of a few who,
in our days of prosperity, were induced t 9 betake them-
selves to a trade with which they were unacquainted,
and to add to it undue extension of speculative adven-
tures.
HALIFAX, Nov. 25.—1 n piece goods the market has
been very dull to-day, and both in this and the yarn de•
parttnent prospects are very gloomy and discouraging.
In the long wool market the business is very small, and
prices still exhibit a declining tendency. Short wools
are firmer in price ; they are more asked for, and have
become rather scarce.

The Lord Chancellor has presented the Rev. Harvey
Vachell, chaplain to the Queen's Prison, to the rectory
of St. John's,Horsleydown ; and the Rev. George
Goodenough Illayter, to the rectory of Burnham-
Sutton, Norfolk.

The Crown and Anchor Tavern is noticed by Strype,
writing at the close of the 17th century, as " a large
and curious house, with good rooms, and other conveni-
ences, it for entertainments."
"Here (says Mr. Peter Cunningham, in his excellent
'Hand-book of London') Johnson and Boswell occa•
sionally supped together. Here Johnson quarrelled
with Percy about old Dr. Mouneey ; and here, when
Sir Joshua Reynolds was maintaining the advantages of
wine in assisting conversation, and referring particularly
to himself, Johnson observed, I have heard none of
those drunken—nay, drunken is a coarse word—none of
those vinous flights.' " The house ceased to be a tavern
in 1847.

COURT OF LIEUTENANCY FOR THE
CITY OF LONDON.

A special general court of lieutenancy was held
on Friday, at Guildhall, for the purpose of re-
ceiving an application from the Colonel of the
Royal London Militia, requesting that the Commis-
sioners would offer to her Majesty the services of
the regiment to be permanently embodied, to do gar-
rison duty, and to be ready with their active exertiox to
perform any other duty which the Queen might be pleased
to call upon them to execute. The court was most
numerously attended.

The Lei(' Mayor presided, supported by several of the
aldermen, Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., Colonel Sykes,
Mr. Walter, M.P., Sir Arthur Poland, Mr. Hughes
Hughes, Mr. Thompson Hankey, Mr. Dobree, Mr.
Dodd, Sir R. W. Carden, Mr. T. Hankey, &c., &c.
Colonel WILSON said it was necessary that he should
explain to the court the reason it had been spe 'ally
summoned. He then read some correspondence which
had passed between the Secretary at War and Lord
Palmerston and himself, in which thanks were expressed
for the offer he had made early in the year of the ser-
vices of his regiment. He stated that after having
read the accounts of the late desperate battles in the
Crimea, he felt it to be his duty to seize the earliest oppor-
tunity to ascertain the feelings of the officers of his regi-
ment on the question of offering their services as a per-
manently embodied regiment, considering that it should
be a point of honour with the City of London that its
regiment, instead of being the last, or amongst the last,
ought to set the example of tendering. their services to
her Majesty in the present eventful crisis. Under these
circumstances he had desired the adjutant to write to all
the officers for the purpose of ascertaining how far they
might be able and willing to give their services, in the
event of the permanent embodiment of the corps, and he
felt tie highest gratification in having it in his power
to represent to the commission that he had received most
satisfactory answers from all, with the exception of two
young men who had only joined as Ensigns at the last
training ; that the answers were not only in the affirma-
tive, but expressed the most unequivocal delight at the
prospect of rendering active and able assistance in the
great present emergency.
The Colonel here read some of the letters amidst loud
cheers. He had, he concluded by stating, upon receiv-
ing those answers, requested that a meeting of the com-
missioners might be called, and he had now the very
high pleasure of placing the regiment at their disposal,
and begging that they would deal with the application in
the manner which appeared to them to be most eligible.
(Cheers.)
A long discussion ensued as to the mode of forming the
resolution, and at length Mr. J. Walter, M.P., moved,
and Colonel Sykes seconded, the motion—" That the
Lord Mayor be requested by the Court to offer to her
Majesty the services of the Royal London Militia, to be
embodied and to be employed in such way as her Ma-
jesty may be pleased to direct."
The motion was then unanimously carried, and the
meeting broke up.
