STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY, June 16. —The check which was
last week giVen to the upward tendency of prices con-
tinues to be felt in our market. Both in goods and yarns,
however, we remain steady at the previous attainable
rates. There is evidently a more general business grow-
ing up. In yarns, the Germans are increasing their pur-
chases to cover sales of which they were advised in the early
part of this week; and the Greeks, who have received im-
proved accounts from Persia and Constantinople, are
now buying certain kinds of both yarns and goods to a
moderate extent. In the home trade, too, there is some
improvement ; and both the printers and general dealers
are buying rather more from the manufacturers. Still,
the market is felt to be inanimate. This is very
much" owing to the cessation of the late active de-
mand for India, which the advices just come to hand
are not likely to revive ; for the report from Bombay
is unfavourable, and, though at Calcutta large
sales had been effected, there was a slight giving
way in prices ; while the quantities shipped from hence
are known to be enormous. From America we learn
that the confident statements we were lately receiving of
extensive destruction, to the young cotton plant by frost,
were generally abandoned ; and the New York
market was dull at a decline of ie. per lb. ; but,
at New Orleans, the class of " middling," which
had fallen to Tic. in the previous week, was quoted
at Bc. on the 27th May, with freight at 15-16 d.
It is difficult to comprehend the movements that take
place at Liverpool. From ten to fourteen days ago many
forced sales were effected considerably under the autho-
rised quotations. The-e may be accounted for ' • but we
do not see what can have led to the porchase of 7,000 to
10,000 bales per day during the last three days.

NEWS FROM MELBOURNE.

The bill for the construction of the new constitution,
says a Melbourne letter of March 4, which has been so
long under the consideration of the Legislative Council,
is drawing to a close. The schedule of members for the
Lower House has.been adopted, with no other change
than that of giving an additional member to Sandridge,
the Gravesend oeMelbourne, and to Emerald-hilj, a
small but rapidly increasing village on the road from that
port to the city. In the draft schedule, these places had but
1 member assigned them ; they will now have 2. The total
number of members, 60, as proposed, will remain, the addi-
tional met-ober being abstracted from the district of the
Loddon, which will be excluded from the arrangement, and
added to the Talbot distri,,,t, there being but thirty
electors within the boundaries of that district, whereas
Sandridge and Emerald-hill contain a numerous popu-
lation, which is increasing every day. The alteration
is therefore judicious, as these places are thriving locali-
ties, and must in a very short time become towns of con-
siderable commercial importance. The schedule for the
Upper House, which is to consist of thirty members,
has been agreed to in committee ; they are distributed
according to the following arrangement :

Number

CENTRAL PROVINCE. Members.
Including the city of Melbourne and the country ex-
tending three miles round the corporate limits of
the city 5
SOUTH PROVINCE

Including the counties of Bourke, Evelyn, and Morn-

ington
SOUTH•WVESTERN PROVINCE.

Including the counties of Grant, Grenville, and Pol-
warth 5
WESTERN PROVINCE.
Including the counties of Ripon, Hampden, Heytes-
bury, Villiers, Normanby, Dundas, and Follett 5

NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCE.

Including counties of Talbot and Dalhousie, and the
Wimmera and Loddon districts
EASTERN PROVINCE.
Including the county of Anglesey, the proposed
county of Rodney, and the Murray and Gipps'
Land districts

The Colonial Secretary, in proposing the schedule,
observed that, "in forming this division of the country,
the Government had acted with great deliberation as to
the most advisable course to adopt, and they now sub-
mitted their scheme to the consideration of the house,
confident in the belief that, under such i distribution of
the provinces, whatever of talent or character was pre-
eminent in each locality would become readily known
and recognised for election by the voters to the Upper
House." A sentiment which appears to be acquiesced
in by the council, indicated by the readiness with which
the arrangement was agreed to. The bill has passed
through committee, and the consideration of the report
stands as "an order of the day" for Friday next, the
10th instant.

THE BALTIC.

COPENHAGEN, June 17. —The Finnish Gazette
confirms the destruction, by Admiral Plumridge's
squadron, of wharves, gun-boats, and timber, &c.,
at Brahestadt on the 30th of May, and at Uleaborg
on the Ist of June.

DANNTZIC, JUNE 16.—The Basilisk, arrived here
from Baro-Sound, announces that she left 29 Eng-
lish and 18 French vessels of war at anchor there.

The vessels engaged were the Leopard, Odin,
and others.

Many thousand barrels of tar were burned, and
several ships, laden with cargoes, were made prizes.
One thousand five hundred men were landed, to
seize, if possible, the bank chests. The inhabitants
along the coast took flight to the interior, some of
them to Haparanda.
The English then visited Ijo, and made a I;econ-
naisance up the river of the same name.
Fifteen large vessels, besides smaller ones; sup-
posed to be the French fleet, were off the east coast
of Gothland on the 9th, steering north-east.
In a letter dated Hamburg, June 13, it is said :
—The public has been told what pains the Russian
Government has taken, since the commencement
of the war, in the construction of four flotillas of
gun-boats and how much is expected from their
employment among the shoals and reefs scattered
throughout the Gulfs of Bothnia and Finland. The
first of these flotillas, composed of 20 gun-boats,
having completed its armaments, has come out of
Abo steering for Helsingfors. We know now that
the first division of the Russian fleet in the Baltic,
the one that has wintered in the harbour of Cron _
stadt, consists of 20 vessels, most of them two-
deckers or upwards, and that the second division
of gun-boats is assembled there. Since the middle
of May last the different vessels of this fleet, which
are all completely armed, have successively left
that harbour, and have been drawn up in line on
the Cronstadt roadstead.

FIRE IN CFIATETAM DOCKYARD.

The following correspondence has been sent us by the
Admiralty for publication :
" Chatham-yard, June 18.
"Sir—lt is my painful duty to report to you, for the
k formation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi-
ralty, that a serious fire broke out in the sawmills of her
Majesty's dockyard at this place at half-past four o'clock
this morning, which was subdued at half-past eight,
leaving the saw mill and the machinery in it a ruin.
" As far as can be seen, the fire appears to have origi-
nated in the centre of the building, though, from reports
made by the officers, no collection of sawduit or other
inflammable material of any kind was left in the building
when closed on Saturday night that can account for the
breaking out of the fire.
" I enclose the report of the officers of the yard and
the director of police, and beg to express my admiration
of the existing arrangements at this yard for extinguish'
ing fire, which were most promptly put into action byths
direction of Captain Richards, and carried into effect by
Col. Beresfoid with the troops in garrison, the officers
and men belonging to the ships in ordinary, and also the
officers of her Majesty's dockyard, and the artisans who
came to assist in arresting the flames, to all of whom I
feel personally indebted for their individual exertions, by
which alone the wings containing the steam engine end
millwrights' shop have been saved.—l have the honour
to be, sir, your most obedient humble servant.,
" C. WYVILL, Captain-Superintendent.
"To Ralph Osborne, Esel.-, M.P."

" Chatham-yard, June 18.
"Sir,—We regret to state that at about ten minuteg
past five o'clock this morning a fire was discovered at
the saw-mills, in this yard. Although visited only ball
an hour before that time, and nothing unusual observed,
yet the fire had then become so intense that the whole
of the middle portion of the building was soon in flames•
" As there was then no possibility of preserving this,
the principal efforts were directed to saving the engine-
house and the millwrights' shop, which was with much
exertion, effected.

" We beg herewith to enclose the report of the director
of police, which embraces the vzinutice of this unfortunate
occurrence.

" The whole of the working portion of the sawmills
is destroyed. It is proposed to make the sawpits, as far
as possible, immediately available.
"We are unable to form any conjecture as to the
origin of the fire, but it is thought to have commenced
at the middle of the lower part of the mills.
" We are, sir, your obedient servants,
" ALEXANDER LAURIE, Chief Engineer,

MONTENEGRO.

According to the Press, of Vienna, the question
of peaco or war will soon be decided. Prince
Danielo has assembled the elders of the villages, to
say whether they will commence hostilities or re-
main at peace. It is said that the majority arenot
disposed to undertake a regular war, but merely to
make razzias on the Ottoman territory. It is be-
lieved that a proposition to this effect will be
adopted. The tenth part of the booty is to go to
Prince Danielo.

CONVENTION BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND
THE SWISS CONFEDERATION.

•
The following is the summary of conditions
made between Austria and the Swiss Confedera-
tion :—The Swiss promise to dismiss notorious
and active revolutionary exiles out of the country.
The other refugees will be sent into the interior.
The Confederation promises to lend an attentive
ear to the reclamations of Austria, and that the
Imperial Government shall always have a list of
the fugitives residing in Switzerland. Count Rech-
berg returns to Milan at once. Baron Meyendorff
goes to. Gastein on the 22d, and probably will re-
turn to Vienna no more.

CONSTANTINOPLE.
A despatch from Constantinople says Lord Red-
cliffe has quite recovered his health.
The Debats admits that it was misinformed when
it stated two days since that Prince Napoleon's di-
vision was to _remain at Constantinople. The Prince
was to stay there only two days, and after parading
his troops to be reviewed by the Sultan, was to pro-
ceed at once to Varna.

The 42d Highlanders and the Himalaya, with the
sth Dragoons, had arrived on the 10th.

OPERATIONS OF THE ALLIED ARMIES.
It is said the generals of the allied armies are quite
agreed as to all the military operations to be un-
dertaken. The secret as to the precise nature of
these operations is religiously kept, and all that is
known is, that they have determined not to trust
anything to chance. They advance slowly, so as
never to be forced to retreat. In short, they cal-
culate their moves with the precision of a game of
chess. They have made their arrangements to be
supplied with all the necessary provisions by the
country itself, and they are already beginning to
think of the winter campaign. Two thousand scythes
have been sent to Adrianople for the division of
French cavalry, who, during the time of their so-
Jotini In t11,.).1-; eity, will occupy tli,Aiist,?vc:-, in _,iL-
ting and plepari.Ag Lyric &1u tiitiLy A.bell
have been sent to Adrianople to purchase up the
produce of all the prairies in the neighoourhood of ;

the city. The divisions of infantry will also em-
ploy themselves in collecting provisions through-
out the country, in constructing magazines, hospi-
tals, and in repairing the roads to facilitate the
communications between the different parts of a
country where it has hitherto been impossible to
operate in great masses on parallel roads. It would
net be surprising if, before winter, there should
not be roads across the Balkans—roads as practi-
cable as those that the Emperor Napoleon con-
structed across the Alps upon his first campaigns in
Italy.

THE BLACK SEA.

The notification of the Admirals commanding
the combined squadrons of the Black Sea is as
follows :

" In consequence of the passage of the Danube by
the Russian army; their occupation of the Dobrudscha,
and their holding possession of the mouths and the two
banks of the river, we, the undersigned Vice-Admirals,
commanding in chief the combined naval forces of
France and England, in the Black Sea, declare by these
presents, in the name of our respective Governments and
make known to all those whom it may concern, that we
have established an efficient blockade of the Danube, in
order to cut off all supplies intended for the Russian
army. All the mouths of the Danube communicating
with the Biack Sea are included in the blockade ; and
we hereby warn the vessels of all nations that they can-
not enter that river, until further orders. •

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

The quantity of old potatoes on sale here is small ;, yet
the demand for them is heavy, and prices are uncertain—
viz., from 100 s to 180 per ton. New qualities are coming
freely to hand, and good clearances have been effected, as
follows : English, 12s to 24s ; foreign, 7s 6d to 12s per

most severe and unqualified reprehension. These,
we, cannot but think most reprehensible passages,
relat e to incidents associated—the one with the
Cour ttess of Chaumont, the other with the Countess
'of olverton. A couple of very noble Countesses
truly ! Without entering into the horrid details
of th e criminality here imagined and delineated—
a pas sing word may be tolerated as sufficiently ex-
plane tory to justify the sternness of our recent
phraE les of condemnation. The Countess of Chau-
mont to whom Julian Calder imagines himself to
have been married, is depicted in the amiable guise
of a bigamist, perfectly aware of the existence of
her :first husband—so that her two children by
Julian are, as a natural consequence, illega-
tinaai e. The other incident referred to is of
a in .ture still more deplorable —it describes
the, Countess of Wolverton running away with
C:tptain Evelyn Staunton, at the very time she
rug tk!,s her adulterous elopement with him, know-
incl.'
_him to be the husband of her own daughter,
an A. •the father of her two grandchildren. Now:
im aganary occurrences like these, we regard as
ab: whitely revolting—and as such we speak of them
here ;for greater emphasis let us repeat what we
ha-re observed already) in language of the most
v seere and unqualified reprehension. It is dis-
til: ssing also to find in an earlier chapter of " 80.

RECONNOITERING SEBASTOPOL.

The unexpected return to Baltschik,-Ont1; 31st
of May, of the Terrible, unaccompanied by her
consort, the Retribution, caused for the moment
a little anxiety. It appears that about 1 p.m.
on the 30th, as the two steamers neared Sebasto-
pol, they descried, cruising about four miles from
the port, two Russian line-of-battle ships, two
frigates, a brig, and a steamer of war, and the
wind being fair for returning into port, this
squadron of six pendants, stood away towards
it immediately the English steamers hove in
sight. Seeing, however, no more ships approach-
ing, and having oberved none in the offing, the
Russians made signals to the ships in the harbour,
from out of which four more steamers of war came,
increasing the force to ten vessels, whereupon the
liners /add frigates furled sails, and were taken
in tow by the steamers ; the brig and smaller
steamer of war first seen then ran in, whilst the
rest stood out gallantly and bravely to attack the
two English cruisers—eight against two ! They
were allowed to approach within four miles, when
it became high time to let them see that, under
such disadvantageous circumstances, the English
were not so simple as to fight them, for it
would have been rashness so to do. ad the
four steamers been alone, or even had the
four liners and frigates been without an at-
tendant steamer, there might have been a
'temptation; so the Retribution% and Terrible
steamed quietly ahead, without any apprehension of
being caught. This state of things went on until
sunset, when the enemy, being then about eighteen
miles off Sebastopol, finished his day's excursion by
retracing his way back, no doubt to concoct a de-
spatch recounting his having chased away the com-
bined fleets. How the spirit of their great Peter
would have rejoiced to have witnessed his chil-
dren's bravery in standing out with two liners, two
frigates, and four steamers, to fight two steamers
mounting 49 guns ! They were last seen well in
towards the harbour of Sebastopol, from out of
which it is ardently wished they may be induced to
make a few more of these pleasant little excursions,
for no doubt the Allied admirals will see the neces-
sity of sending a more adequate force to pay them
that attention they merit, and meet them half-way.
As the Retribution and Terrible journeyed onwards
to report this movement to Admiral Dundas, a
steamer at a considerable distance followed them
for some time. On the morning of the 31st of
May the Terrible, being the faster of the two, was
sent ahead ; but the Retribution reached Baltschick
not many hours after her. She went on to Kosloo
to coal on the same evening. All' accounts speak
highly of the appearance of the Russian ships, the
furling of whose sails, and manoeuvres for being
taken in tow, were performed in right good style.

LAN' INTELLIGENCE (THIS DAY).

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
4CerDENTALLY SHOOTING A BOY.—WHITE V. AUSTIN.
T!lie was an action to recover damages under the fol-
lowing circumstances.
151'cr• Hugh Hill and Mr. Field were counsel for the
the and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Malcolm for
-me defendant.
The plaintiff is a lad occupied as a farm labourer, living
fearf Waltham,. in Essex, and the defendant was
atlinerly +an engineer in the emp'oyment of Government
the Waltham Powder-mills, but now retired upon
thPension. la September last he went out shooting in
te,fleighbourhooti of Waltham, and took the plaintiff
Nlilru another lad to beat the bushes and start the birds.
hilst so employed, the boy (as alleged upon the part of
t4e plaintiff's case), whilst in full view of the defendant,
started some birds, and defendant firing had the mis-
:,r, t,une to fire so near the boy that some few of the shots
'lilt, and besides doing him some trifling bodily
irtY deprived him of the sight of one of his eyes.
e defendant had, it appeared, done all that humanity
Uuirl angffest for the lad after the accident had oc-
rrcd.
Por the defence it was set up that the affair was
TelY accidental and not caused by any negligence, as
0 lad was at the time by the side of a brook and
11
dden from defendant by some bushes, and also that he
I*(t , disobeyed the order of defendant, who was his
'gaster, by getting where he was at the time of the in-
J i'arY. Tiie 19. d had been kept in the service of the de-
fe
adant from the time of the injury, and treated with
the
utmost kindness until December, when defendant
Ilan obliged to dismiss him from his service in conse-
quence of his having robbed him.
The jury found for the plaintiff.—Damages, 1001.

FRANCE.

PARIS Wednesday Evening.—This being All
Saints'-day, it is observed as a close holiday at the
Bourse and public offices.
The Emperor and Empress have postponed their
visit to Compiegne till after the arrival of some
definitive news from the Crimea. Yesterday
they went to Versailles, Where they inspected the
alterations recently made in the museums.
The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived here to-day :

"MADRID, Oct. 29.—The Queen has received
the officers of the militia, who accepted rather coldly
the words of her Majesty, by which she informed
them that she reckoned on them to maintain order.
At General Espartero's, where the officers after-
wards went, the reception was enthusiastic. They
were not received by General O'Donnell."
A private letter from Berlin states that there is
reason to suspect that the real object of M. Pford-
ten's mission is to throw obstacles in the way of a
reconciliation between Austria and Prussia, and pre-
vent the Diet from acceding to the demands of the
former Power, with reference to Russia. The letter
continues to say that whilst the Bavarian people are
generally anti-Russian, the Court of Munich is quite
as Russian, if not more so, than that of Berlin:
Letters from Toulon, dated yesterday, speak of
the naval preparations there for the embarkation
of reinforcements for the army of the East as being
on a vast scale. There are three ships of the line,
one sailing frigate, and several steamers ready to
receive more than 4,000 troops, and convey them
to the Crimea. There are two regiments ready to
embark, which have been perfectly drilled during
their stay in that fortress.
