The Patriarch of the Indies, together with his
relative, the celebrated nun Sor Patrocinio, and her
confessor, Padre Fulgencio, and various intimates
of the same nun, have been ordered to select some
place of residence in the provinces, as they will
not be allowed to remain in Madrid. The papers
state that Sor Patrocinio has had the famous
" cinco llagas," or five wounds of our Saviour,
again developed, and has been visited by many, to
'Whom she does not fail to hold forth on the impious
doings of the 17th, 18th, and 19th of July.
The cholera at Seville has greatly diminished. It
seems that the number of deaths was exaggerated,
owing to the ingenious contrivance of certain gen-
tlemen, to whom the corporation had offered a
Peseta each for assisting in the prompt interment of
each corpse, and who, acting on the principle that
dead men tell no tales, duly received their fees, and
then, taking the bodies out of the city by one gate,
effected an entrance with their loads at some other
part, and, in fact, made the same corpses do duty,
as regards obtaining the said burial fees, several
times over.
The Puropa seems to anticipate unpleasant dis-
agreements with France, and says that M. de Per-
slgny is on his way here, arguing no good from his
journey,
A special decoration has been ordered by royal
decree for the combatants for liberty on the 17th,
edh, and 19th of July. The ribbon is to be half
and green, and suspended from it a civic crown,
with a band of gold around it, on which is to be
Inscribed in black letters " The grateful country to
the defenders of liberty, in July. Madrid, 1854."

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Since Monday last, the arrivals of home-grown potatoes
have been on an extensive scale, and, for the most part, in
fair condition. All kinds have met a dull inquiry. Regents
have sold at from 70i to 85s ; and Shams, 55s to 70s per ton.
The imports last week amounted to 13 sacks from Cork,
and 4 baskets from Rotterdam.

WOOL.
Since the close of the public sales, the demand for foreign
and colonial wool by private contract has been far from
active; yet prices are well supported. English wools are
held firmly, and the quotations must be considered a shade
dearer. Last week's imports into London were-2,4
bales from Sydney, 49 from Haraburgh, 820 from Hobart
Town, 39 from Buenos Ayres, 645 from Port Philip, 600
from Bombay, and 300 from other quarters.
The following are the current rates of English wool :
Down tags, is Od to is lid ; half-breds, ilid to la Oid;
ewes, clothing, lid to is Od ; Kent fleeces, is to is lid
combing skins, lid to is id ; flannel wool,

GREECE.

Letters from Athens, of the 7th instant, state
that the Napist faction and the Court camarilla
were intriguing as actively as ever in favour .of
Russia. The Ministry closely watched their pro-
ceedings ; but, meeting with no support from the
King, their good intentions were of little avail.
Previous to the arrival of M. Mavrocordato, the
Ministers had proposed to the Queen to travel
for six months out of Greece, observing that a
Visit to some watering-place in Germany would
prove beneficial to her health. Her Majesty, how-
ever, who does not give up the cause of the Byzan-
tine Empire as lost, preferred continuing at her
post. The Russian faction had taken advantage
of the appearance of the cholera at the Piraeus to
cut off all communication between Athens and the
allied troops. This was a mere pretext to annoy
them, for the circulation was left open to the mili-
tary and naval Commanders-in-Chief, to the corps
dip/omatique and their attendants, and other privi-
leged persons.

ITALY.
The partizans of Mazzini, in Genoa, annoyed at
the declaration of General Garibaldi, with regard
to the revolt, at Parma, have written to him the
following letter :
General,—Your protest, inserted in several Pied-
rnontese journals, has given rise to sinister interpreta-
tions. For the Fake of your honour, which, havinc, fought
Under your orders, we have a right to defend against
malignant comments, we demand of you a frank and
straightforward declaration. We have shared with you
the perils of war and the sufferings of exile. We have
shed together our blood for the triumph of one object—
the independence of Italy. Our adversaries regard your
letter as a first step towards a compromise, and an act
in direct contradiction with our programme and prin-
ciples. It behoves you to disabuse the over credulous
and confound the impostors."

to go through a thorough refit ; when completed they
sailed again, and on arrival at their port of destina-

who were very gentlemanly men, were much annoyed
by civilised Plymouthers, and by their rude remarks
as they passed through the streets.

article at Liverpool, increases the caution of the buyers
of yarns. And the statements from Calcutta, together
with the schedules of the exports just made out on this
side, showing an excess over last year of 30 to 40 per cent.
in goods, have given a further downward tendency to
prices which had previously involved the makers in serious
loss. The only present chance for these articles is the
possibility that speculators may be tempted to operate by
apparent cheapness. Except, however, in the important
department just referred to, there is a general firmness
in the valae of goods, sustained by a moderate general
demand, and by an expectation that the demand will be
increased by an abundant harvest. As we have before
stated, present values are altogether unremunerative.
For the medium and lower counts of yarns, both mule
and water, there continues to be a good general demand
at full prices. The buyers are the home manufacturers,
the continental merchants, and, in a degree, the India
houses.
LEICESTER, Aug. 17.—The autumn demand has com-
menced, and the wholesale houses having given out
their first orders for the season, manufacturers are well
employed.
NOTTINGHAM, August 17.—We cannot announce any
improvement in the condition of either the lace or hosiery
trades for the last week, nor can we reasonably hope for
much now until after harvest, by which time it is fair to
suppose we shall be in receipt of orders from the United
States, as well as others from our various colonies.

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Hamburg of the 30th ult., says :
"The second division of the Eighth fleet from the
Baltic has just arrived in the Bay of Kiel. Adding the
new arrivals to the ships which had previously come
in, there are not fewer than twenty English vessels of
war off Kiel'at present. Amongst them is the Duke
of Wellington, the flagship of Admiral Sir Charles
Napier. The admiral for some time after his ar-

... •
rival was prevented by indivosition from ping
on shore, but last evening he came to this city,
on a visit to Mr. Hodges, the English charge d'affaires,
and it is said, to remain with him some days. The
stores of coal which the English Admiralty established
at, Kiel for the use of the fleet are now literally ex-
hausted. Six steamers freighted with coal are, however,
expected there ; and when they shall have arrived
some of the screw vessels will be able to leave in
order to snake room for others from the Baltic.

WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Oct. 27.—N0 material change in the state of
the woollen market. There was a fair, steady business
done in the Cloth-halls both on Saturday and on Tues-
day. The manufacturers and woollen merchants are
operating with great care at the present wool sales,
and we probably may have during the coming winter
restricted hours of employment in the mills. There
have been very few buyers in the town during the
current week, consequently the trade in the warehouses
has been rather dull.

HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—Business was exceedingly
dull to-day in the Cloth-hall. There appeared to be
scarcely any buyers in the town. The reasons assign, d
are generally the advanced price of cern and our balli
gerent position.
ROCHDALE, Oct. 30.—The demand for flannels con-'
tinues very good, and it is quite equal to the supply.
Prices are firm. There is lin new feature in the wool
market to report; the manufacturers continue to buy
sparingly.
HALIFAX, Oct. 28.—With regard to the piece and
yarn markets, we can only repeat o'ir last week's notice
of these branches, in which there does not yet appear
the least sign of improvement; nor is there anythin„,,,,
better to report of the wool business, sales being still
extremely difficult to effect, at somewhat worse prices.
