STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian ofSaturday.)

MANCHESTER, APRIL 22.—From the most trustworthy
American accounts, it is seen to be increasingly evident
that cotton is very largely kept back from the ports, partly
in consequence of the state of the roads, and very much
with the view of affecting prices ; so that the large fall-
ing off in the excess of receipts (especially considering
that the comparison is still with heavy weeks) is not to
be taken as materially significant in estimating the ulti-
mate supply. In our market, the persuasion that prices
cannot be maintained ld. per lb. abo ire the level of last
year, with so great a stock as there is on both sides the
Atlantic is more decided and more general in the pre-
sent week than it was before ; and the holders of cotton
in Liverpool cannot conceal their own distrust on this
head, for they are much more anxious to sell, and wil-
ling to concede fully Id. per lb. from last Friday's quo
tations, while the trade quietly persevere in the judicious
policy of buying only for their immediate needs.
The prevalence of these views among all classes of
buyers has caused the business of the week to be much
restricted in its aggregate amount. On Tuesday, there
were some operations, at full rates, in yarns and goods
for the East ; principally occasioned, so far as articles
for China were concerned, by the proposed re-
duction in the duty upon tea ; yesterday and
to-day, however, this seems to have pretty nearly
passed away, and the whole market is even duller.
Speaking broadly, prices are inclined to be slightly
in favour of buyers ; but we do not think that there
is a quotable difference, except in the medium and
lower numbers of yarns, which may be had at a decline
of Ad. per lb., though not from all producers. As to
this market, there is no apprehension of any material or
sudden fall in prices, which are low enough for a range
in the raw material id. below the Liverpool quotations.

THE MODERN GUNPOWDER PLOT.
London, England, 1853-04-25

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Paris papers of yesterday contain nothing
of interest to the English reader.
The Moniteur announces that the French Go-
vernment, desirous to wait for the result of experi-
ments which are likely to effect a most advantageous
alteration in the condition of steam navigation,
and judging it to be imprudent to engage the
financial responsibilities of the country, in the pre-
sent state of uncertainty, to the extent of the subsidy
of 15,000,000 f., demanded by the various steam
navigation companies, has resolved to adjourn the
concession for the service of the transatlantic lines.
The Government had, however, also come to the
resolution within a short time, and with the means
at its disposal, to establish a line of communication
with the Brazils.
On the 20th and the 23d inst. the Treasury had
repaid to the Fampoux-Hazebrouck Railway*Com-
pany the sum of 750,000 f., and to the Lyons and
Avignon Company the sum of 5,000,000 f. These
sums represext the half of the caution money which
these companies had deposited in the Treasury.
At the Bourse on Saturday there was rather a
large amount of business transacted in government
securities, and prices showed an increase on yester-
day's closing rates. Closin Fauotations—Cash :

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna papers of April 20th do not contain
any political news of importance. No leading
articles have yet appeared, either in the Lloyd or
the Wiener Zeitung, on the all-absorbing subject
of Lord Palmerston's late investigations at Rother-
hithe ; but the excitement on the subject is not
the less intense, nor the reserve maintained by the
noble lord in his parliamentary explanations less
tantalising. As might have been expected, these
vigorous measures on the part of the British Go-
vernment are attributed to the attitude assumed
by Austrian diplomacy, rather than viewed as a
redemption of the pledge long since given by her
Majesty's Ministers, that whenever an infraction
of the law should be proved against a refugee
domiciled in England, the full rigour of the law
would bo employed against him. No power on
earth would be sufficient to persuade an Austrian
that the Minister for the Home Department might
not, had he only liked to do so, have spent the last
two months of his political existence in daily dis-
interments amongst our suburban villas, of Con-
greve rockets, shrapnells, shells, and the like,
labelled, like Rabelais' powders, " Pour S. M. le
Roi," " Monseigneur le Dauphin," &c.

SPAIN.

SWITZERLAND.
A dispatch from Friburg, bearing date April 22,
announces that the city of Friburg has been in-
vaded by a troop of peasants, mustering to the
strength of from 200 to 300, and commanded by
Colonel Perrier, of the Federal army. The invaders
occupied the college. There was a good deal of
fighting, and some of the combatants were killed
some were wounded. Colonel Perrier is among the
latter. The Civic Guard of Friburg remamed
masters of the ground and captured many of the
insurgents. Tranquillity is restored.

LETTER CARRIERS.

'ln reply to Sir DE L. EVANS,
Mr. WILSON said the Postmaster-General did not
see how it was possible, consistent with the public con-
venience, to comply with the prayer of a memorial which
he had received for limiting the hours of letter-sorters in
the Post-office to nine instead of ten o'clock in the even-
ing.

Mr. DUNCOMBE presented several petitions from
the metropolis, in favour of opening the Crystal Palace
on Sundays ; also petitions from Leeds, Carlisle, and
other places against the occupation of Rome by French
troops.

Budget cannot, surely, expect the support of the thus
needlessly-intended-to-be taxed class, when he again
requires it at the hustings ; and though the class is not
numerous, it is not without influence, as may appear in
the next elections, which are perhaps not far distant.—
I remain respectfully, your very humble servant.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Silt,—As a subscriber to your paper I take the
liberty of calling your attention to the proposed increase
in the tobacco license, which, if carried, will raise my
license from ss. to Si. is. 3d. per annum, which rather
than pay I would not sell tobacco, and I think many of
my brother victuallers would follow my example. As
you have exposed some of the inconsistencies of the
Budget, I hope, Sir, you will draw the attention of the
Licensei Victuallers to this extraordinary advance
in the tobacco license, that they may at once petition
azainst it.

I am, Sir, yours obediently,
HENRY BIRD.

THE LATE BURGLARY IN ST. ANN'S LANE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- - ---
It was stated on Saturday last in The Sun newspaper,
with reference to the recent robbery upon the premises
of Mr. Cutmore, in St. Ann's-lane, City, that the
burglars broke in where Goddard, the gravedigger, kept
his tools. This is a misstatement. Mr. Goddard is not
gravedigger, but ward beadle and collector of rates for
the ward of Aldersgate and the parish of St. Ann and
Agnes. Trusting to your impartiality to correct this
error in a line at two in this day's impression, we beg to
remain your obliged,

THE INCOME TAX.

Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, in imposing the income tax on incomes
of 1001. a-year, intended to include the earnings of
junior members of a family, or only the wages of the
husband, or the head of the family.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
question was one of very great importance, but he was not
in a condition to give a conclusive reply without looking
back to see what was done under the old income tax act.
Under the new act such a case had not arisen.

REGISTRAR OF BIRTHS, &c., AT MONMOUTH,

In reply to Mr. C. 0. MORGAN,
Lord PALMERSTON said, in allusion to the irregu-
larities committed by a registrar in Monmouth, the
Registrar-General did not think it was a case in which
it was right to throw on the public the burden and ex-
pense of a prosecution ; but the guardians of the poor
could institute :proceedings against him if they thought
proper.
London, England, 1853-04-25

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna papers of April 20th do not contain
any political news of importance. No leading
articles have yet appeared; either in the Lloyd or
the Wiener Zeitung, on the all-absorbing subject
of Lord Palmerston's late investigations at Rother-
hithe ; but the excitement on the subject is not
the less intense, nor the reserve maintained by the
noble lord in his parliamentary explanations less
tantalising. As might have been expected, these
vigorous measures on the part of the British Go-
vernment are attributed to the attitude assumed
by Austrian diplomacy, rather than viewed as a
redemption of the pledge long since given by her
Majesty's Ministers, that whenever an infraction
of the law should be proved against a refugee
domiciled in England, the full rigour of the law
would be employed against him. No power on
earth would be sufficient to persuade an Austrian
that the Minister for the Home Department might
not, had he only liked to do so, have spent the last
two months of his political existence in daily dis-
interments amongst our suburban villas, of Con-
greve rockets, shrapnells, shells, and the like,
labelled, like Rabelais' powders, " Pour S. M. le
Roi," " Monseigneur le Dauphin," &c.

A dispatch from Friburg, bearing date April 22,
announces that the city of Friburg has been in-
vaded by a troop of peasants, mustering to the
strength of from 200 to 300, and commanded by
Colonel Perrier, of the Federal army. The invaders
occupied the college. There was a good deal of
fighting, and some of the combatants were killed
some were wounded. Colonel Perrier is among the
latter. The Civic Guard of Friburg remained
masters of the ground and captured many of the
insurgents. Tranquillity is restored.

THE UNI FED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.-The royal mail steam-
ship Niagara, Capt. Laing, arrived in the Mersey
to-night, with 120 passengers, but no specie on
freight.

NEW YORK, APRIL 12.
There has been a rupture in the Cabinet at
Washington. Mr. Marcy has resigned the Secre-
taryship of Stata ; Mr. Cushing is to succeed him ;
Mr. Dobbin to take Mr. Cushing's place, and Com-
modore Stockton to be-the new member as Secre-
tary of the Navy. Such is the telegraphic state-
ment ; but it may not be correct to the full extent.
The Hon. James Buchanan is the new United
States Minister to England.
The Senate adjourned sine die on Monday.
The Illinois has arrived with two millions and a
half in gold from California. Her news has been
anticipated. The Prometheus brings but little
gold.
Caravajal has taken Reynosa on the Rio Grande,
and there is a rumour that the town of Edinburgh
is destroyed.
The amicable arrangement on the difficulty at
San Juan (Grey Town) is confirmed.
MARBETS.—There is little or no change in any-
thing since last packet. Loans are made at 7to
12 per cent. Stocks not firm, but no decline of
consequence. Sterling exchange firm, at 109 f for
good. No change in cotton or flour. The former
pretty active. Cotton brisk at New Orleans ;
middling, 91c.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Paris papers of yesterday contain nothing
of interest to the English reader.
The Moniteur announces that the French Go-
vernment, desirous to wait for the result of experi-
ments which are likely to effect a most advantageous
alteration in the condition of steam navigation,
and judging it to be imprudent to engage the
financial responsibilities of the country-, in the pre-
sent state of uncertainty, to the extent of the subsidy
of 15,000,000 f., demanded by the various steam
navigation companies, has resolved to adjourn the
concession for the service of the transatlantic lines.
The Government had, however, also come to the
resolution within a short time, and with the means
at its disposal, to establish a line of communication
with the Brazils.
On the 20th and the 23d inst. the Treasury had
repaid to the Fampoux-Hazebrouck Railway Com-
pany the sum of 750,000 f., and to the Lyons and
Avignon Company the sum of 5,000,000 f. These
sums represent the half of the caution money which
these companies had deposited in the Treasury.
At the Bourse on Saturday there was rather a
large amount of business transacted in government
securities, and prices showed an increase on yester-
day's closing rates. Closing quotations—Cash :
Three per Cents., 80f. 25c. ; Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 103 f. 50c. For the account : Three per

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- - - -
SIR,—As a subscriber to your paper I take the
liberty of calling your attention to the proposed increase
in the tobacco license, which, if carried, will raise my
license from ss. to 81. ls. 3d. per annum, which rather
than pay I would not sell tobacco, and I think many of
my brother victuallers would follow my example. As
you have exposed some of the inconsistencies of the
Budget, I hope, Sir, you will draw the attention of the
Licensed Victuallers to this extraordinary advance
in the tobacco license, that they may at once petition
against it.

I am, Sir, yours obediently,
HENRY BIRD.

THE LATE BURGLARY IN ST. ANN'S LANE.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

It was stated on Saturday last in The Sun newspaper,
with reference to the recent robbery upon the premises
of Mr. Cutmore, in St. Ann's-lane, City, that the
burglars broke in where Goddard, the gravedigger, kept
his tools. This is a misstatement. Mr. Goddard is not
gravedigger, but ward beadle and collector of rates for
the ward of Aldersgate and the parish of St. Ann anti
Agnes. Trusting to your impartiality to correct this
error in a line or two in this day's impression, we beg to
remain your obliged,

WILLIAM FANNER,
SAMUEL ROBINSON SHORT,
Churchwardens of St. Ann and Agnes.
