STATE OF TRADE.

( Front the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Oct. 3.—The Manchester market has
been influenced by the splendid success of the allies on
the heights of Alma. Au improved spirit has prevailed.
The buyers of yarns would operate rather freely at
the prices which were obtainable last week ; spinners,
are, however, more difficult to deal with, generally
adding► ad per lb. to their previous quotations, and for
some kinds obtaining that advance ; but, for the
most part, buyers are not prepared to pay more, and
the business of the day has consequently been restricted.
Still, some spinnings have been taken to a fair extent
for home manufacture. The accounts from Calcutta
being more favourable than they were expected to be, a
rather better demand tor goods to that market has en-
sued ; and the low prices for shirtings, jacconets, &c.,
which were current last week, are no longer submitted
to. In other cloths also there is more of firmness ; but
higher prices are not obtainable, and the amount of busi-
ness is inconsiderable.

ROCHDALE, Oct. 2.—We have had a steady demand
for flannels, but not quite so brisk as it was on the pre-
vious week. There is little change in wool, either iu
price or demand.
HALIFAX, Sept. 30.—H any change can be noted in
our Piece Hall to-day, wa„,may say that rather more
goods have been disposed of-than for some weeks past,
but the sales have not been extensive, and there is no
amendment in prices. There is a moderately fair de-
mand for yarn, especially for shipping, but no improve-
ment in the quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 3.—There has been little altera-
tion in the market to-day. A few of the manufacturers
say they have sold more goods than for the last few
weeks, but the prevailing feeling is that of quietness.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale in
to-day's market. The demand for most kinds, however,
was less active, at Monday's currency.
The show of foreign wheat was by no means large. Good
heavy qualities were in fair request, at full quotations, but
low and middling kinds were rather dull, on former terms.
Floating cargoes were firm, and quite as dear as last
week.

Barley, for grinding and distilling purposes, was in re-
quest, at the late advance.
We bad a fair sale for malt, on former terms.
The oat trade was dull, but beans and peas were in fair
request. In flour very little was doing.

Holmes, his lady, and•thiv3e children, escaped in the boats,
in which they remained, drifting about for 15 days and
nights, before the Bato cam e to
.their help.
The barque Elizabeth, Cal `fain Churchill, belonged to
Bristol. She was bound from .sJolbourne to Moulmein, and
struck on a small reef, outside o"C the barrier Roe, on the
28th of the same month (June). The reef is situate in
lat. 12. 10. S. She was got off aga.‘n, but making much
water, and at daylight the crew abantioned her, fast sink-
ing close in to the Barrier Reef, in which ilirection she
drifted. The crew, after being in the boats fiv e days, con-
trived to reach Booby Island, where they retrained four
days, when they were taken oft by the Dutch &hip Bato.
The ship Artemisia was bound to Singapore., and was
abandoned off the eastern side of Kangeany Boy. Her
crew, 22 in number, took to the boats, and suocseeded in
gaining Sourabaya.
The officers and crew of the wrecked ships speak in the
highest terms of the conduct of Captain Brocksmit, and
the hospitable manner in which they were treated on board
his ship.

65.1 deg., 59.2 deg., 60.7 deg., 57.1 deg., and 55.2 deg.
The electric state of the atmosphere was positive through-
out the week. No rain fell, but fog was prevalent. The
air was calm during the last five days of the week ; and
it had a slight horizontal movement during the first two
days, chiefly from the west and north-west.

IPSWICH.

Upon the announcement of the victory being received
here, the bells of St. Mary Tower rang a merry peal
throughout the day, and cannon were fired in various parts
of the town. The flags of various nations floated from the
ships in harbour and public buildings in the town, in
joyous manifestation of the event.—lpswich, Express.
London, England, 1854-10-04

Ivented by the occurrence of an event `untoward' as
garled the hopes of the author—an addition to the fate
of Mrs. Warner, :who had prepared to represent Ismen
It was subsequently produced at the Haymarket Theatr
under the management of Mr. Webster; and, notwith-
standing the diminution of interest caused by its previous
publication, was rendered more successful by the powers
of Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner than I had ventured
to anticipate, even when I expected that they would be
supported by Miss Helen Faucitt and Mr. Anderson."
Mrs. Warner then returned to Covent Garden, where
she remained during Mr. Macready's management ;
she afterwards was engaged by Mr. Webster, during
two seasons, at the Haymarket Theatre. When
the former undertook Drury Lane Theatre, Mrs.
Warner shared the first business with Miss . Helen
Faucitt. In 1844 she joined with Mr. Phelps and
Mr. Greenwood in the management of Sadler's
Wells Theatre, the establishment of which, as a
legitimate theatre, was partly owing to her ability and
exertions. During this season she played Lady Macbeth,
Gertrude, Evadne, Constance, Margaret of Anjou, and.
Hermione. The partnership being dissolved, led Mrs.
Warner, subsequently, to undertake the direction of the
Marylebone, which opened on the 33th of September, 1847,
with The iriater's Talc—sho also appeared about this
time as Julia, Lady Teazle, Mrs. 0 dtley, and Lady Town-
ley. In November of this year, Mrs. Warner revived
The Scornful Lady, by 13.1aumont and Fletcher, altered
to suit the taste of the day by Mr. Serle ; the drama
was produced with the utmost care and attention
to the minutest details. In 1813, Mrs. Warner ap-
peared in her original char:later in The Wrecker's Daugh-
ter, and in April revived The Double Marriage, another
play by Beaumont and Fletcher, also adapted by Mr.
Serle. Mrs. Warner's management then concluded, and
its termination was distinguished by the performances of
Mr. Macready. In the provinces, and at the Haymarket
Theatre, the energetic actress continued her career, and
assisted in producing the éclat, which signalised Mr. Mac-
ready's farewell representations. Her subsequent profes-
sional tour in America was shortened in a lamentable man-
ner, by the illness which ultimately proved fatal ; she was
first attacked during a performance, and on learning the
nature of the disease immediately returned to England to
secure the best advice. This, however, unhappily availed
nothing, and all attempts to alleviate the sufferings of the
amiable lady were ineffectual.—Musical Transcript.

DENMARK AND SWEDEN.

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 28.—Another remarkable
and characteristic event has taken place' here.
Numberless meetings have been held in the
islands and all over Jutland, and an address to
the King has been circulating, and received in
a short time 20,000 signatures, expressing the
warmest attachment to the constitution and de-
manding a new Ministry. Representatives of the
petitioners have been appointed by each county,
often by each parish, to meet in Copenhagen and
present the address to his Majesty, and explain to
him the feelings of those 17 whom it was signed.
Accordingly, upwards of seventy deputies have
arrived here. Arrangements were making to pre-
sent the address, even a day was named, when
the Ministry took the alarm, and have persuaded
the King to take the strangest of all strange
steps. His Majesty has refused to see the
deputation, and will not receive their address.
Meantime the deputation have determined on re-
maining in town till the commencement of Parlia-
ment, when they will present to the national re-
presentatives the petition which his Majesty has
refused to accept. To-night there is a great ban-
quet in their honour, given to them by the citizens
in the Casino theatre.

The French ships have passed out northwards.
The Cuckoo, Lieut. Murray, has Anchored in the
roads. Two prizes, botb, Danish, a smack and a
ship called the Fortuna, of Arnis, have anchored
off Frederikshaven.

In. Sweden it is believed that the neutrality credit
of 2i million dollars banco, demanded by the King,
will with difficulty pass the Parliament, if it should
not be rejected altogether, at least by the two re-
presentative chambers, the burghers and yeomen.
The How a of Yeomen will certainly throw it out.

CHOLERA IN Mil CITY.

The MEDICAL OFFICER of HEALTH said, in reference
to the inspectors returns for the past week, I beg to
submit a list of places neglecting the orders of the court
for their sanitary improvement in various means of
cleanliness, having drainage, privy accommodation, and
water supply. I am happy to apprise the court that
the information I have received confirms in the strongest
manner my belief in the decline 'of the epidemic, and
leads me to a very sanguine hope that the City will now
continue free frora any intense localisation of the fatal
influence. (Hear, hear.)
After the transaction of a vast deal of business con-
nected with the sanitary regulations of the City, the
court adjourned.

WAKEFIELD.

As soon as the intelligence of the battle of Alma reached
this town, the enthusiasm of the populace knew no
bounds. The fine peel of bells in the tower of the parish
church rung out an inspiriting strain throughout the day;
flags and streamers were displayed from the battlements,
and in the evening a band of music paraded the town.
The practices of the fifth of November were repeated in
the Bull-ring, by the kindling of an immense fire, which
illuminated the whole area of the market-place. Copies of
The Sun were in great demand, in some instances 2s.
6d. per copy being offered and refused. There was
some idea of a general illumination in honour of the
event, but with the exception of Mr. Tyas's printing and
publishing establishment, the displays in this department
were not general. In some degree, to minister to the po-
pular crawing for news, the Journal office and the prin-
cipal book shops displayed on their windows copies of the
evening papers, which were read aloud by some enthu-
siastic individual for the benefit of the public.

GREECE.

We extract the following from the Moniteur of
yesterday :
" Russian agents at Athens having spread a report
that the French troops of occupation were preparing to
overthrow the Greek Government, the French Minister
considered it his duty to remonstrate against those in-
sulting and injurious insinuations. M. Mavrocordato,
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has addressed the fol
lowing letter to the Baron Forth Rouen on the sub-
ject :
"'Athens, September 17.
" 'Monsieur le Baron—l hasten to reply to the letter
which you did me the honour to address me under (late
of the 16th, and which I have this moment received.
The Government we ild doubtless have rejected with
the greatest indignation and the deepest contempt the
statement to which you allude, if infamous calumnia-
tors had dared to have made it. But the question in
reality is only of a report as perfidious as it is absurd,
which the getters-up of disturbances have put into cir-
culation, arid which I am happy to be able to state in
the most positive manner has not made any dupes. The
best refutation of these detestable inventions is found,
Monsieur le Baron, in the noble attitude of the French
army and of its commander-in-chief, in your own con-
(het, and in the generous sentimeuts which the Govern-
ment of bis Imperial Majesty ha 4 never ceased to mani-
fest in favour of Greece. I shall not, however, fail to
formally inflict, through the means of the press, the
contradiction which such odious intrigues justly deserve.
—Accept, &c., " 'MAVItOCOLiDATO.'

FR AN CE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
I hope that all doubt and uncertainty will soon
be removed as to the news of the fall of Sebastopol.
Yesterday evening, a private telegraphic despatch
from Vienna, announcing that the Austrian Am-
bassador in that city had received a despatch from
Bucharest, confirming the news, and giving details
of the event, seemed to put an end to all, although
these details diffeted materially from some of those
already communicated by private telegraph de-
spatch. The Moniteur of this morning, however,
shows that we have still to wait for official news.
It publishes a despatch from the French Minister
at Vienna, but the news that it contains rests on
the statement of a courier from Constantinople
who had arrived at Bucharest with despatches from
Omer Paella.

The guns of the Invalides still remain silent.
It will be some days yet before the exact details
of this grand event can be known.
The Moniteur says :—" Baron do Hubner has
been charged by Count de Buol to address to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs the sincerest coiwratu-
lations of the Cabinet of Vienna for the striking'
successes obtained for our troops in the Crimea."
London, England, 1854-10-04

SWANSEA.

The news of the taking of Sebastopol was early an-
nounced to the inhabitants of this town by a public no-
tice, signed by the mayor. It was received with the most
lively demonstrations of joy. The bells of the parish
church pealed forth strains throughout the day ; a band
of music paraded the town, giving martial airs. The Eng-
lish and French ensigns were seen floating together from
many a vessel in the harbour, and from the Custom-house,
Town-hall, and other public buildings. The mayor ad-
dressed some thousands of his fellow-townsmen from the
steps of the hall, in his official robes, at the close of which
the air was rent by deafening huzzas, and cheers for our
gracious Queen.

THE REGISTRATION COURTS.

CITY OF LONDON.

The revision of the list of voters for the City of Lon-
don was concluded yesterday, by Mr. T. Y. M‘Chnstie,
the revising barrister, in the Court of Queen's Bench,
Guildhall. _ _

The result of the revision may be thus stated. On the
part of the Conservative party there were no claims or
objections lodged, nor did any appear in behalf of that
party to watch the proceedings. There were 63 new
claims made by the Liberal party, 35 of which were sus-
tained, and 28 of which failed, the failures, in most
cases, being occasioned from the circumstance of the
claimants not appearing in support of their claims.
These new claims were in addition to 50 other claims
made by the parties who had been put upon the lists
inaccurately. There were al,o 511 objections made by
the Liberal party, of which number 485 were sustained,
and only 26 failed.

The revision of the list of voters for the City of Lon-

TOWER HAMLETS.
The revision of the list of voters for the borough of the
Tower Hamlets took place yesterday, at the Court-
house, Weliclose-square, before John Fraser Macqueen,
Esq., the revising barrister.
There was not an objection lodged to a claimant on
the list, and with the exception of St. Leonard's, Shore-
ditch, and St. Ann, Limehouse, there were no new
claims lodged, and these were only occasioned by in-
accuracies in the published lists.

SEBISTO POL.

We have just received the following from

Vienna :

On the 23d Fort Constantine was destroyed by

the Allies, and Fort Alexander taken.

On the 24th all the redoubts and forts around
Sebastopol, all the batteries, and the Arsenal,
were in the hands of the Allies.

The flags of the Allies were hoisted on th
tower of St. Vladimir.

It is believed that the day on which Prince
Menschikoff surrendered at discretion was the

26th.

It is said that the remainder of the Russian

fleet is safe in the hands of the Allies.

The Turkish army will at once cross the Danube

into Bessarabia.

This glorious intelligence is thus confirmed by

way of Paris :

A private telegraphic despatch states that at
the end of a second battle gained by the Allies they
bombarded Fort Constantine, the Citadel, and the

fleet, all of which surrendered.
The Russians have lost 18,000 men in killed

and wounded, and 2,000 prisoners.
Six ships of the line and Fort Constantine have

been destroyed.

BERLIN, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

A telegraphic despatch has been received here
direct from St. Petersburg. It says that Prince
Menschikoff has telegraphed, under date of Sep-
tember 26, that he has withdrawn his troops, un-
molested, from before Sebastopol towards Bak-
tschi-Serai. There he will await reinforcements
from Kertsch and Perekop.
He adds that Sebastopol had not been attacked
up to the 26th September.

The following despatches have also been re-

ceived

VIENNA, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

Several private despatches received here to-day
confirm the intelligence received from various
quarters relative to the fall of Sebastopol.
No official confirmation, however, has yet
reached us, but an official despatch from St. Pe-
tersburg, dated the Ist inst., stating that advices
from Prince Menschikoff of the 26th made no

mention of disastrous events, causes some anxiety

here.

VIENNA, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.

Prince Menschikoff's despatch to St. Peters,

burg is doubtless dated the 20th, not the 26th,
for his last despatch was eleven days en route.
VIENNA, TUESDAY, OCT. 3.
The local papers publish the following :
Five hours after the bombardment, Fort Con-

stantine blew up ; 10,000 Russians were buried

in its ruins. Prince Menschikoff fled to For
Alexander, where 18, 000 Russians shortly sur•

rendered.

The Allied fleets simultaneously destroyed the
outer harbour, forts, and vanguard of the Rus-

sian fleet.

Prince Menachikoff is reported to have uncon-
ditionally surrendered on the evening of the 26th.
The following despatch, relating to the casual-
ties in the battle of the Alma, has been received,

via Vienna, from Constantinople :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 25.
" The Vulcan has brought 320 wounded from

;he Crimea.

" Th© Andes brought 300.

" No General officers were hurt.
" The 'Ttb, 23d, and 33d Regiments suffered

most.

" The Russians have retreated into Sebasto

THE CAPTURE OF SEBASTOPOL.

The following translations of the observations of some
of the Paris papers, on the news of the taking of Sebastopol,
will be read with interest. They are in continuation of
thoso we gave yesterday :
(Front the Constitutionnel.)

A landing which will reckon as one of the most wonder-
ful feats of our age ; a single combat fought with the Rus-
sian army, which was in a few hours routed completely;
and a citadel, supposed to be impregnable, which surren.
ders at discretion, with its materiel, fleet, and garrison,
after a few hours' resistance—all that would seem a pro-
digy, if it was not well known for centuries what the
ability of our generals and the impetuosity of our soldiers
can do. 1854 has heroically avenged 1312. It belonged
to Napoleon 111. to take a marked revenge on llussia for
the glorious disaster which prepared the sublime downfall
of Napoleon I. And what is noble and grand in this re•
venge is, thot it is taken in the name of a universal inte-
rest, that it saves Europe and yrotects civilisation, that it
prepares for the world a long future of peace, calm, and
tranquillity.

(From the Pays.)

The generous co.operation of the West has avenged by a
single blow two centuries of humiliation. France and
England have deserved well of history and civilised Europe.
We confess that it is not without profound emotion that we
enrogister this magnificent result. It must now be admitted
that force alone does nokgovem the world. There are
above: blind ambitions, aboVe selfish ,galculations, above
barbarism, in whatever form it.may present itself, a domi-
nating right, a sovereign Providence who strikes down the
strongest and humbles the haughtiest. This man, who has
weighed on Europe for 25 years, who suppressed nations
by a dash of his pen, who traced in'advance to the north
and the south the plan of his invading march—this man,
in a single year, has been stripped of all prestige, all gran-
deur, all force ; an assault has sufficed to wrest frem him
his most formidable fortress and his most precious con-
quest. What have become of his fleets, his innumerable
posts, his phantasmagoria of soldiers, cannon, and savage
horsemen, who only recently menaced Europe with a su-
preme invasion ? Thu Danube has seen large armies kept
in check before places of the fourth rank, like Kalafat and
idilistria. Wallachia and the Dobrudscha contain only the
tombs of their pretended conquerors. Turkish patriotism
has not left them either the pride of a victory os the conso-
lation of a triumph, or even the hope of a return. The
vessels which destroyed Sinope will pass along the Bospho-
rus, with their flags below ours, towed by our steamers,
and amid the applause of the two continents. This fleet,
so redoubtable, which took 150 years to form, will soon be
in our ports disarmed and subjected to a glorious trophy
of our courage, a colossal monument of the fall of Russia.
What could one add to the eloquence of this statement?
The capture of Sebastopol is at once the most extraordinary
warlike exploit, and the most fecund in results of our his-
tory. It casts down the illusions as to Russian power, strikes
the Czar to the heart, wrests from him the Black Sea, throws
him a hundred years behind, and consolidates, at the gates
of the East, a now Ottoman empire with glorious prospects.
All France will thrill with pride at this happy news ! The
epoch in which such things can be inscribed in her golden
book is a great one, and it will be a great glory for the
second empire to have thus conducted the sacred war of
European right against Muscovite barbarism.
London, England, 1854-10-04

BRISTOL.

Yesterday was one continued scene of rejoicing for the
victories on the Alma and the supposed fall of Sebastopol;
the bells of all the churches rang joyous peels throughout
the day. Flags were hoisted on all the shipping in the
harbour, the public buildings, &c., and at night several of
the houses in the principal streets were illuminated. On
the arrival of The Sun of:Moaday evoning the intelligence
in it was sought With the utmost iittity, and the news it
contained was considered quite confirniatorr of the fall 'of
Sebastopol. •
London, England, 1854-10-04

ITALY.

A letter from Rome, in the Parlam•ento of
Turin, states that the Tribunal of the Consults
commenced its sittings on the 22d ult. at the
prisons of San Michele, for the purpose of con-
sidering the affair of the 15th of August, 1849.
The judges are said not to be agredd as to the
title to be given to the prosecution ; some being
of opinion that the prisoners should be held re-
sponsible for all the political assassinations that:
have occurred since 1849, and others limiting the
accusation to high treason against the Papal throne.
In either case some condemnations to death would.
ensue, but with this difference, that in the former
case they would all receive execution, whereas in
the latter they would be commuted.

The Madrid mail of the 30th ult. has not arrived
this morning.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

The lithographic news sheet of Vienna of the
29th ult. says :—" According to the last accounts
which have been received from the theatre of the
war in Asia, and which come down to the 17th,
the Russians are concentrating themselves at Tiflis.
The question is whether all the efforts they are
making will succeed in preventing the followers of
Schamyl from leaving the mountains, as the ope-
rations of that chief are vigorously supported by
the Turkish army, which has been reorganised,.
Up to this time Schamyl has occupied 400 Russian
villages. The Russian columns are flying in all
directions. Schamyl has made prisoners of more
than 800 individuals, many of whom are conside-
rable landowners."

should have been abandoned when the Talbot conveyed so
much provisions to Beechey island, and the officers and
crew of the Phoenix volunteered to remain out during the
next winter in charge of them.

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester (Mardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Oct. 3.—The Manchester market has
been influenced by the splendid success of the allies on
the heights of Alma. An improved spirit has prevailed.
The buyers of yarns would operate rather freely at
the prices which were obtainable last week ; spinners,
are, however, more difficult to deal with, generally
adding id. per lb. to their previous quotations, and for
some kinds obtaining that advance ; but, for the
most part, buyers are not prepared to pay more, and
the business of the day has consequently been restricted.-
Still, some spinnings have been taken to a fair extent
for home manufacture. The accounts from Calcutta
being more favourable than they were expected to be, a,
rather better demand for goods to that market has en-
sued ; and the low prices for shirtings, jacconets, &c.,
which were current last week, are no longer submitted
to. In other cloths also there is more of firmness ' • but
higher prices are not obtainable, and the amount of busi-
ness is inconsiderable. _ _

ROCHDALE, Oct. 2.—We have bad a steady demand
for flannels, but not quite so brisk as it was on the pre-
vious week. There is little change in wool, either in
price or derriand.
HALIFAX, Sept. 30.—1 f any change can be noted in
our Piece Hall to-day, we may say that rather more
goods have been disposed of than for some weeks past,
but the sales have not been extensive, and there is no
amendment in prices. There is a moderately fair de-
mand for yarn, especially for shipping, but no improve.
ment in the quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 3.—There has been little altera-
tion in the market to-day. A few of the manufacturers
say they have sold more goods than for the last few
weeks, but the prevailing feeling is that of quietness.
