STATE OF TRADE.

- -
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, April 19.—The New York advices of
the 6th inst. state that in all the markets of the states
there was an active demand for cotton ; prices being
firm but not higher. The receipts were still falling off ;
and the excess in the receipts was reduced to 339,000.
But it is evident that there is in Liverpool, a diminished
confidence in the maintenance of present prices. Yes-
terday and to-day business has been dull, holders more
dispossd to sell, and prices slightly in favour of buyers.
And in our own market, to-day, we have had a renewal of
that distrustiwhich "comes and goes" as to the continu
ance of the raw material at a penny a pound above the
rates of a year ago in the face of so great a supply as is
now placed beyond all ground of doubt. This feeling
has so far influenced the lower, and still more the
medium counts of yarns, suitable for home and conti-
nental consumption, as to give buyers a trifling advan-
tage in making a bargain ; but they have shown a
general backwardness to operate. For yarns and goods
adapted to the India and China markets, there has,
however, been more inquiry ; and business has been
done in them at full rates. This applies more par-
ticularly to the better 40-inch shirtings, and as in part
at least due to the proposed reduction of the duty on
tea. For other cloths there is a moderate demand at
steady prices. The budget brought forward last night
by Mr. Gladstone has been received on 'Change with
general and very decided approbation, as, on the whole,
a wise and bold carrying out of the principles of the late
S:r Robert Peel, though, of course, exceptions are taken
to some minor proposals.
HALIFAX, April 16.—We are not able to report any
amendment in the demand for worsted goods, either
plain or faecy, and, when inquiry is made, the prices
offered are generally below the cost of production.
The spinners are asking higher rates for yarn, and the
feeling among the manufacturers seems to be in
favour of a considerable concession, but not to such an
extent as to cover the enhanced cost of the raw material.
The wool market is in a quieter state. The spinners,
being pretty well supplied, are out of the market ; but
the late quotations are steadily maintained.
HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL, 19.—The demand for wool-
lens to-day has been dull in comparison with our late
markets, which perhaps in a great measure may be at-
tributed to the political excitement that pervades the
town, which we hope by next week wiil have got over,
and business resumed its general course. Still a very
good trade has been done, most of our merchants having
bought pretty freely, there havinc, been very few buyers
from other towns. Fancies and light woollens in new
patterns meet with ready sale for the home spring trade.
ROCHDALE, April 18.—The piece market is not quite
so brisk as it has been. The merchants do not like to
give the advance asked by the manufacturers, which
much limits the amount of business transacted. The
price of wool continues to advance'slowly, but the manu-
facturers buy very sparingly, and for immediate use
only.

THE INCOME TAX-THE BUDGLT.

We have reason to believe that the Budget of Mr.
Gladstone will, in many of its essential features, have to
encounter the most determined opposition from such
combinations of parties as have lately put Ministers in
frequent minorities. The right hon. gentleman's pro-
posals with regard to the income tax are deemed pecu-
liarly vulnerable. That part of his plan, which per-
petuates the existing injustice of making no distinction
between precarious and fixed incomes, will be strenu-
ously assailed ; while the proposal to extend the tax to
seven years will call forth an amount of opposition,
which, we are told, will in all probability prove suc-
cessful.—Morning Advertiser.

LIVERPOOL, TIIESDAY.—The great subject of conver-
sation, to-day, both on 'Change and in general circles,
has been the Chancellor of the Exchequer's financial
statement last evening. All parties agree in awarding
to the right hon. gentleman the highest meed of praise
for the ability he brought to bear upon the various com-
plicated questions which he had to grapple with. From
what we have been able to gather, the budget, taken as
a whole, has been favourably received ; but it cannot be
said that the propositions with regard to the income tax
have given general satisfaction.
MANCHESTER TUESDAY.—The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer's resolutions have been favourably received
here, with the exception of that which continues the in-
come tax for seven years more, and the extension of that
unpopular impost to incomes of 1001. per annum. The
abolition of the soap duties is justly regarded as a great
boon to our calico-printers, and other manufacturers,
into whose products that article largely enters.

RECEIPT STAMPS.—It appears from a Parliamentary
document, just issued, that in the year ended the sth
January, there were 2,041,667 receipts at 3d. issued ;
1,568,136 at 6d.; 1,051,828 at ls. ' • 360,628 at is. 6d.;
165,947 at 2s. 6d.; 44,109 at 45.; 28,112 at 55.; 15,878
at 7s. 6d.; and 14,356 at 10s.—making 5,290,661 receipt
stamps.

GOVERNMENT STOCKS.—The subjoined calculations
show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by our Go-
vernment Stocks at present prices. To render the results
strictly accurate, the proportion of interest which may
have accrued since last dividend period should in each
case be taken into account:

Int. per Gent.
Price. per annum.
1001 ... £219 6
100 ... 3 0 0

Three per Cent. Consols

ELECTION COMMITTEES.-(THIS DAY.

BARNSTAPLE.

This committee resumed this morning at 11 o'clock.
F. M. Clay and S. Kingson, agents of Lord Ebrington,
were called to give evidence as to the persons who can-
vassed at the last election.
S. Ringson, in answer to questions put by the com-
mittee, stated that it was notorious that bribery existed
to a considerable extent among the freemen, at every
election for Barnstaple.
F. M. Clay fully corroborated this statement.
Lionel Metcalfe was town-clerk of Barnstaple. Was
canvassed by Sir William Frazer. Messrs. March and
Saville were with him. Saw Hornby, on the polling
day, bringing up voters to the poll; most of the voters
were dreadfully drunk.
Mr. James then proceeded to sum up the case on
behalf of the petitionerr, and was proceeding when our
report left.

MAYO.
At the meeting of the committee, this morning, Mr.
Bovill proceeded to sum up the case of the petitioners,
and had not concluded his address when our report left.
London, England, 1853-04-20

NORWICH ELECTION.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE postponed his motion with re•
spect to the withdrawal of the Norwich election petition
until the 16th of May.

MINISTERS' MONEY IN IRELAND.

In reply to Mr. MAGninE,
Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government could not
at present give notice of the introduction of a bill for
the abolition of ministers' money in Ireland, but they
would do so at the earliest opportunity.

INDIAN TERRITORIES.
Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the house
could be furnished, week by week, with the evidence
taken before the committee on Indian territories, as it
would be very inconsistent to have to g►o through a
book of enormous thickness only a week before the bill
of the Government was brought in ? (Hear.) , '
Sir C. 'WOOD said he was not quite competent to
answer the question, not being the chairman of the com-
mittee. It was proposed, however, when the military
and judicial branches of the inquiry were brought to a
close, which would probably be in a few days, to [print
that portion of the evidence.

Mi. DISRAELI wished to know on what day the
Government proposed to lay before the house their plan
for the administration of the affairs of India ?

Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that they
hoped to do so on this day week.

INCOME TAX.

In reply to Mr. H. HERBERT,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Government did not intend to draw any distinction be-
tween the money advanced to Ireland for carrying out
the poor law and that advanced for relieving the distress
in Ireland during the famine. These two sums together
amounted to about five-and-a-half millions, and repre-
sented the consolidated annuities. The Government
proposed to remit that debt entirely if the house should
consent to extend the income tax to the sister kingdom.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, APRIL 19.
Her Majesty's steam transport Rhadamanthus, Mas-
ter-Commander Belam, arrived yesterday morning from
Pembroke, having in tow the Diligence transport, with
stores. The Diligence is ordered to Deptford to take in
stores for Bermuda.
The steamship Magicienne, 16, Captain Fisher, sailed
yesterday for Pembroke, with Mr. Brown, assistant-
master-attendant, and a party of seamen and riggers, to
navigate the steam-ship James Watt to this port, where
she is to be fitted.
The steam-ship St. Jean d'Acre was warped yesterday
to the sheer hulk, where her boilers will be put on board.
The brig Wizard will be taken into dock to-day, to
have her copper examined and repaired.
SHEERNESS, APRIL 18.

trial.wen went donown in her, to report the result of the
arriving at the measured mile at Sea
Reach, below Gravesend, the time was taken, and
the average speed of four runs—two down and two
up—was found to be 7.410 knots per hour, the engines,
with a stroke of four feet six inches, making 23i
revolutions per minute, and working very satisfactorily,
without any hot bearings, or any necessity to ease her
for any adjustment. The Phoenix has all her stores on
board, and is in every respect ready for sea, with the
exception of having to take an additional supply of coals,
which will be put on board immediately, previously to
her departure for the Arctic regions. Captain J. Ful-
ford, Commander J. M. Cooke, Commander F. A.
Campbell, and Lieutenant E. W. Tumour, officers of
the royal navy studying steam at the factory at Wool-
wich Dockyard, with Mr. Roughton, of the steam de-
partment, were on board during the trial, to witness the
working of her engines of 260-horse-power, on John
Penn and Son's oscillating principle. The Phoenix re-
turned to Woolwich at half-past six p.m., and is to be
taken into the basin until the Breadalbane (hired trans-
port) is strengthened, to be ready to go with her on her
enterprising voyage. She steers well, answering her
helm with the greatest nicety—a matter of great satis-
faction, considering the difficult navigation she will have
to go through for so large a steamer in the ice, and
amongst the icebergs of the North Polar regions.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.)
SUGAR.—To-day West India sugar was purchased with
caution, both for refining and grocery purposes, although
there wore sellers rather under the terms of Friday, and
supply shows a further increase. To-day refined sugar was
in much better demand for home consumption, and prices
improved. Brown lumps selling at 45s 6d to 465, and low
to fine grocery 46s Gil to 49s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Penang sugar met with
little notice, and rather lower rates were taken. At auc-
tion not above one-half of 7,100 bags and 15 cs found
buyers ; white 35s to 36s 6d, yellow and greyish 32s to 34s
6d, and brown 30s to 31s 6d.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon, fine and good yellow went
at 36s to 37s 6d, ord to mid 34s to 35s 6d, good to fine
brown 32s to 33s 6d, mid 31s to 31s 6d, ord to fine grey 33s
to 375, grainy yellow 35s 6d to 38s 6d, and brown 31s to
35s per cwt.
COFFEE.—The stock of Ceylon, compared with this time
last year, shows an increase of 700 casks and 23,000 bags,
still the currency is higher by 5s to lOs per cwt.
COCOA.—To-day foreign cocoa sold more freely at pre-
vious rates, but the market for West India is quiet, and
in auction 286 bags of Trindad were taken in at 33s to 38s
per cwt., being the full value.

TEA.-A more ready sale has been experienced here for
low to good common Congou at previous terms of 104 d to
100 for sound. In green large transactions have taken
place, and previous terms are well kept up, especially for
good to fine.

RICE.—To-day the market for East India rice presented
a dull appearance, and at auction 3,000 bags Moulmein
were taken in at Os 6d for good quality, with lovers at 9s
per cwt. _ _

TALLOW.—To-day the market was animated, and ad.
vanced rates were obtained • fine yellow Russia on the
spot realised 475, and 47s dd for delivery in last three
months of the year.

OILS.—A material increase has taken place in the de.
mand for linseed oil for all purposes.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCCXIV.

MALTON MEETING.—MaIton has a much more attrae-
' tive bill of fare this year than usual, the consequence, I
take it, of the concocters being more energetic than is
their wont. The Craven Stakes, yet to close and name,
commences the sport to-morrow at half-past one. The
Two-year-old Stakes look very much like a match be-
tween THE PRESIDENT, who can go the pace when he
likes, and THE JEWESS, The rest, with the exception of
Taper and Bridesmaid, are but indifferent animals.
Rosa May and Cardsharper, much fancied by the public,
are very inferior in quality.
The Malton Handicap ought to be carried off by ST.
ANDREW or HOBBY HORSE ; Paquetta occupying the
third place.
The Birdsall Handicap will fall to the lot of MASTER
NORTON if sufficiently forward in his work, of which,
however, I entertain a slight doubt.
The entries for the Selling Plate and Amateur Stakes
will not be out until this evening, and the animals nomi-
nated for the Union Hunt Cup come not within my ken.

the above-named times respectively.

SOUTHIVAI?K.-(THIS DAY.)

ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER IN A COFFEE-SHOE.—Gebrge
Martin, a private of the second battalion Scots Fusilier
Guards stationed at the Tower, was brought before Mr.
Combe charged with stealing a sovereign and two pencils
from the person of William Horton in a coffee-house,
No. 144, Blackfriars-road. Prosecutor said he was a
carpenter residing in the St. George's-road, and on
Saturday night, the 16th, he met with the prisoner and
treated him to several glasses of grog. About seven
o'clock on the Sunday morning they went into the coffee-
house in question to partake of some refreshments, where
witness was supplied with nothing but coffee. He soon
afterwards fell asleep, but prior to that the sovereign
was safe in his waistcoat pocket. He was then quite
sober, but had been under the influence of liquor. He
was roused from his sleep by a female, and from
information he received Ole put his hand into his
pocket and missed the sovereign and two pencils.
While doing so the prisoner ran out of the house
and escaped, but he gave information to the police,
and yesterday afternoon the officer traced him out in
the barracks in the Tower.—Witness did not drink any
brandy in the coffee-house.
Amelia Brooks said she was assisting in the coffee-
house while the prosecutor and the prisoner were there.
They had some brandy, coffee and ginger beer. While
prosecutor was asleep she distinctly saw the prisoner
take two pencils and something out of his pockets,
which caused her to rouse him up : while doing so the
prisoner escaped out of the house. They both had been
drinking previous to entering the house ; and prosecutor
paid for the brandy.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said they both
had been drinking spirits early on Sunday morning, at a
barber's shop, in the Mint, with two women of aban-
doned character, and that he must have been robbed by
them. He stoutly denied the assertions of the female.
The prisoner, who received a bad character from his
regiment, was committed for trial.

No. 3.—LEGACY DUTY.

That the Stamp Duties payable by law upon, or for, or
in respect of legacies, shall be granted and made payable

tion or additional portion of the income or profits thereof
that may take place upon, or in consequence of the death
of, any person, under whatever title, whether existing or
future, such succession may be derived.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Established favourites still constitute the strength and
attraction of the little Adelphi—meaning of course by
established favourites both the members of the company
and the pieces making up the entertainment. Last
evening was a capital illustration of this : and the
audience—crowded as ever from pit to gallery—seemed
to think so likewise, if we might judge from their frequent
applause and their hearty shouts of laughter. Keeley was
"great," as he always is in that delightful extravaganza,
A Desperate Game, but greater still as Mr. Marmaduke
Mouser—amorous little Mr. Marmaduke Mouser—
the " victim " of the many seductive charms of Betsy
Baker. Mrs. Keeley, as Betsy Baker, was, of course,
delicious—more particularly in her memorable demand
upon Mr. Crummy for her pattens. Mr. Parselle—it
seems a ridiculous thing to say—was an excellent
Crummy. In the clever drama of Masks and Faces—a
drama admirably conceived and executed—the feature
was (everybody knows what we are going to say, who
has ever witnessed it) Mr. Webster's masterly delinea-
tion of the poor poet-painter-actor-dramatist, starving in
his garret--raining tears of despair over the manuscript
of his half-written comedy. It is an exquisite por-
traiture, minutely and delicately finished, and full of
genius. It renders altogether subordinate even the im-
personation by Madame Celeste of merry kind-hearted Peg
Woffington—the cynosure of such "neighbouring eyes "
as Paul Bedford as Quin, 0. Smith as Snarl, Honey as
Colley Cibber, and Leigh Murray as Sir Charles Po-
mander. The performances closed last night with that
strange, fantastic melodrama, Pepino, in which Flex-
more—that marvel of India-rubber—enacted the part of
Pug the Monkey.

IV.-ASSESSED TAXES.

That from and after the sth day of April, 1854, the duties
of assessed taxes payable in Great Britain, under or by
virtue of any act or acts now in force, for or in respect of
male servants, carriages, horses, mares, or geldings, mules,
dogs, hair powder, and armorial bearings or ensigns respec-

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Established favourites still constitute the strength and
attraction of the. little Adelphi—meaning of course by
established favourites both the members of the company
and the pieces making up the entertainment. Last
evening was a capital illustratioh of this : and the
audience—crowded as ever from pit to gallery—seemed
to think so likewise, if we might judge from their frequent
applause and their hearty shouts of laughter. Keeley was
"great," as he always is in that delightful extravaganza,
A Desperate Game, but greater still as Mr. Marmaduke
Mouser—amorous little Mr. Marmaduke Mouser—
the " victim " of the many seductive charms of Betsy
Baker. Mrs. Keeley, as Betsy Baker, was, of course,
delicious—more particularly in her memorable demand
upon Mr. Crummy for her pattens. Mr. Parselle—it
seems a ridiculous thing to say—was an excellent
Crummy. In the clever drama of Math and Faces—a
drama admirably conceived and executed—the feature
was (everybody knows what we are going to say, who
has ever witnessed it) Mr. Webster's masterly delinea-
tion of the poor poet,painter-actor-dramatist, starving in
his garret--raining tears of despair over the manuscript
of his half-written comedy. It is an exquisite por-
traiture, minutely and delicately finished, and full of
genius. It renders altogether subordinate even the im-
personation by Madame Celeste of merry kind-hearted Peg
Woffington--the cynosure of such "neighbadring eyes"
as Paul Bedford as Quin, 0. Smith as Snarl, Honey as
Colley Cibber, and Leigh Murray as Sir Charles Po-
mander. The performances closed last night with that
strange, fantastic melodrama, Pepin, in which Flex-
more—that marvel of India-rubber—enacted the part of
Pug the Monkey.
