STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, AUG. 26.—Since the date of our last
report, this market has been quiet and void of spirit,
both in regard to yarns and goods ; although no general
reduction in prices can be quoted. Still, where any
change has been made, it is for the most part in favour
of the buyer. The decline most perceptible is in yarn of
coarse and medium counts suitable for the home trade.
In domestics there is no change to report, and a mode-
rate business is doing.
BRADFORD, AUG. 25. Wool—There is a great diffi-
culty in getting wool from growers and country dealers,
who are evidently seeking prices beyond what can be rea-
lised here, and consequently the supply coming to market
is not abundant. There is no disposition on the part of
the spinners to buy, and altogether the trade is flat.
Noils and brokes are without change since our last.
Yarns—There is much complaining of the high price
sought for wool, compared with what can be realised for
yarns, and at no period has this branch of the trade been
more disjointed than at present. Pieces—There is a fair
but not average business doing for August.
NOTTINGHAM, Aug. 25.—Notwithstanding the preva-
lence of fashion both at home and in America for goods
of Scotch manufacture, there is still a good business
doing in lace goods, but principally in those made of
silk, while those fabricated of cotton are not in so much
request ; but so long as the fashion is so decidedly in
favour of muslin goods, we cannot expect so much of a
demand as to lead us to expect very remunerating prices.
Cotton is too high in price for those engaged in this part
of the trade to be able to obtain such a profit as their
expensive machinery would warrant.

ADMIRALTY INSPECTION OF ROYAL MARINES.

The Right Hon. Sir J. Graham, First Lord of the
Admiralty, Rear-Admiral R. S. Dundas, C. 8., and Cap-
tain Alexander Milne, Lords of the Admiralty, and Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Greene, Director of Architectural and
Engineering Works, arrived at half-past 2 o'clock to-day
at the barracks of the Woolwich division of Royal Ma-
rines, by Colonel Commandant S. Burdon Ellis, C. 8., Col.
Second Commandant Geo. Butt Bury, Lieut.-Colonel
I\l'Adam, and the whole of the officers, non-commis-
sioned officers, and men in the barracks, the companies
drawn up in line presenting arms, and the band playing
the National Anthem. Their lordships passed down
the front of the line and , up the centre, accompanied
by Colonel Ellis and the staff. Their Lordships after-
wards inspected 1 sergeant, 2 corporals, and 50 privates,
placed under orders yesterday to proceed to Portsmouth,
where they will hold themselves in readiness for em-
barkation, and between 200 and 300 fine 'young men,
recruits, who have recently joined. The weather being
very showery, the men were dismissed to barracks.
Their Lordships then proceeded to the ship gun-drill
battery, and Captain Payne put the men through their
great-gun exercises, which elicited their Lordship's ap-
probation. The Rev. J. C. Connolly afterwards con-
ducted their Lordships over the boys' and girls' schools,
and they appeared pleased with the clean and neat man-
ner in which the whole were kept, and the industry of
the girls who were all busy sewing and knitting. They
then proceeded to the hospital, over which they were
conducted by Dr. Oliver Evans, Deputy Inspector of
Hospitals, who suggested several improvements for the
ventilation of the hospital he also recommended that a
detSched permanent building should be erected at a
short distance from the hospital for the reception of
cases of smallpox or any other infectious diseases, and
that the ground at the rear of the hospital should be
covered over to serve as a promenade for the conval-
escent. All these suggestions Sir James Graham said
ho considered essential, and should be carried into effect.
On leaving the hospital their Lordships paid a short visit
to the ball-court, and a rather lengthened ono to the
noncommissioned officers' library. They then visited
the barrack rooms and the noncommissioned offioers' and
men's messrooms and cooking conveniences. At half-
past 4 o'clock their Lordships concluded their inspection.

THE CHOLERA.—A letter from Stockholm says that it
is now officially known that several cases of cholera have
occurred in that city. Out of six persons attacked five
had died. A letter from Copenhagen of the 21st states
that the cholera was still diminishing. The whole num-
ber of cases since the commencement had been 7,188,
and the deaths 3,891. A letter from Helsingfors, in Fin-
land, of the Bth, also announces that the cholera had
begun to fall off in that place. At Abo, also, it was de-
clining. The disease, it seems, had only made its ap-
pearance in these two towns out of all Finland,

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY.

OSBORNE-HOUSE, AUG. 23.
This day had audience of her Majesty—Joseph Reed
Inge-_-soll, Esq., Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
pottritiary from the United States of America, to deliver
his letter of recall ; and James Buchanan, Esq., to deliver
his credentials in the same character. To which they were
respectively introduced by the Earl of Clarendon, K.G.,
her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
FOREIGN-OFFICE, AUG. 24.

It is hereby notified that the Right Honourable the Earl
of Clarendon, K,G., her Majesty's Principal Secretary ,of
State for Foreign Affairs, has received from Sir Charles
Hotham, K.C.8., her Majesty's Minister on a Special Mis-
sion, and from Martin T. Hood, Esq., late her Majesty's
Consul at Buenos Ayres, despatches, dated respectively
the 22d and 24th of June last, announcing that the block-
ade of the port of Buenos Ayr4, heretofore established by
the Provisional Director-General Urquiza, has ceased to
exist since the 20th of June aforesaid.
London, England, 1853-08-27

may call it) the attribute of appellate jurisdic-
tion. There is, in fine, the transfer from
Dublin to London of the Customs, and
that of the Excise, and that of other pub-
lic offices, all contributing as the Report ob-
serves, to demonstrate " the importance of an
expeditious and convenient mode of commu-
nication between the two countries, and afford
str( as claims for the favourable consideration of
Parliament." It is consequently proposed by the
Committee that a morning express mail train shall
henceforth leave London and Dublin respectively,
traversing the intermediate distance in eleven
hours at the utmost—eleven hours instead of
fourteen or fifteen. And this diminution of the
time commenced in the transit by two or three
of the most simple arrangements—by procuring
better steam-packets—by properly fitting the
relative arrival and departure of boats and trains
—by less frequent stoppages on the railway, and
increased velocity in the general run of the com-
munication, both on land and across the Channel.
According to the Report, extraordinary prospects
are now being held out to the Government of this
increased velocity between Kingstown and Holy-
head—offers having been made of vessels engag-
ing to steam at the rate of actually 25 miles an
hour. Whether this offer be genuine or not,
it is tolerably certain that the facilitation of the
passage admits of many remarkable improvements.
While in reference to the increased speed between
London and Holyhead, that we all know well
enough, by every-day experience, to be readily
practicable, as we have already intimated, by the
simple device of diminishing the number of stop-
pages. Everything considered, therefore--the
manifest necessity of the proposed improvements,
their enforcement by the Report of the Select
Committee, the obvious value of their application,
the force of competition and the capacity of
modern enterprise—we cannot but rejoice in the
conviction that before a very long time has elapsed
we shall witness the conveyance of letters and
passengers between London and Dublin, via
Holyhead, in eleven hours, by a wholesome series
of exceedingly simple and eminently rational im-
provements.
London, England, 1853-11-02

sary. The. Neapolitan funds have fallen to a war
price.

The Milan Gazette of the 27th ult. publishes an
order of Marshal Radetzky, civil and military
governor of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, for
the re-opening of the Imperial and Royal Univer-
sities of Pavia and Padua.

A second order of Marshal Radetzky authorises
the free importation of wheat and oats into the
Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, until the close of
December, 1853.
A Genoa letter, of the 27th ult., states that a
number of soldiers of the Austrian army, stationed
in Tuscany and Romagna, who had obtained fox:-
loughs, and proceeded as far as Ferrara, on their
way 'home, were suddenly ordered to return to
their respective corps. This circumstance increased
the hopes of those who desire war, and occasioned
considerable ferment in central Italy.
Much agitation prevailed at Naples. The King
was afraid that France would reinforce the corps
of army at Rome, and had accordingly adopted
measures of defence. The Neapolitan army is nn"
i merous and well organised, but the population s
discontented and ready to revolt, and the presence
of a few French ships of war along the coast might
be the signal of a revolution throughout the
kingdom.

THEATRE ROYAL, DRITRY-LANE.-THIS
EVENING.—Mr'. E. T. SMITH, Lessee, respectfully informs
his friends and patrons that he has, regardless of expense, engaged
a galaxy of EQUESTRIAN TALENT never before assembled con-
junctively, even in this the Metropolis of Nations, and by whom the
classic development of the hippodramatic art obtained a triumph
every evening unmatched in the history of such performances. The
gymnastic artistes were equally successful. The victory of the
Vaulters was completed, in the throwing of nearly 200 somersaults
by 0. Dale and Barnes, • the European and American champions.
The Ninth Exhibition will take place THIS EVENING, Novem-

The Anglo Celt contains the following :--L" The pro-
prietor of this journal, Mr. Wallace, left the gaol of
Cavan at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, the term
of his imprisonment having been completed an hour pre-
viously. A large bonfire blazed upon Tullymongan-
hill, and cheers, such as one seldom hears, rang from its
top for many an hour in the evening."

THE ARMY.

CHATHAM, . Nov. I.—Yesterday six prisoners were
tried by court-martial at Chatham garrison for desertion
and making away with their regimental necessaries,
which appears to be a crime, increasing in the army, and
which must be stopped by the severest punishment
allowed by the Mutiny Act. The following are the
names of the prisoners and the corps they belong to :
Private P. J. Jones, 37th ; private James Daniels,
43d ; private William Evans and B. Magean, 38t1;
Foot ; private R. M'Cloud, 74th Highlanders ; private
Thomas Spear, 96th. The court found all the prisoners
guilty. Some of them had been tried for desertion
before. The issue of these trials has not yet transpired.
Gunner J. M`Grath, of the Royal Artillery, was also
tried by the same court, for being found asleep on
stable picket at Brompton. He was found guilty.
Colonel J: J. Louth, of the 38th Regiment, was presi-
dent of the court.
WEST INDIES.—The undernamed medical officers at
Chatham Garrison are under orders to embark on the
2d inst. for the West Indies :—Staff-Assistant-Surgeon
W. B. Wallis, Staff-Assistant-Surgeon J. Poison, and

FEARFUL RIOT AT BLACKBURN.
APPLICATION FOR THE MILITARY.

Nov. 1, 9 r. m.
This town has this day been given up to lawless
violence, and another instance has been furnished
of the incapacity of the borough for self-govern-
tient. The occasion of the riot was the election of
councillors for St. Peter's ward ; but it was evi-
dently
pre-organised, as during the night before
gangs of men paraded the streets and disturbed
the inhalitants. At ten o'clock great confusion
Prevailed, and the banks and many shops were
closed. From that time till four p.m. the
Principal thoroughfare, King-street, was in the
hands of two contending mobs, who, with stones
and iron-bound bludgeons, strove for the mastery.
The whole of Mr. Hornby's windows were smashed
in ; stones being procured in abundance from some
Paving operations going on at this time. Aldermen
Roole and Dugdale are sufferers, and the wounds in-
flicted must be of a serious] character. The. autho-
rities were conscious of their inability to cope with
the insurgents, and no effort was made, the whole
day, to put down the riot. This circumstance
caused the most cruel apprehensions to many
respectable families. The magistrates met this
evening, and have engaged a posse of special con-
stables, and a special train in communication with
the military at Burnley. The mobs were headed
and led on by respectably dressed men, apparently
the overlookers at the mills. It is to be deplored
that many of the mills were closed to-day. The
inhabitants of this borough have been compelled to
conclude that the franchise it possesses is only a
source of bitter animosity, and of risk to life and
property.

EXTRAORDINARY METEOR.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,--Perhaps one of the most extraordinary meteors
that ever appeared in England was seen from two inde-
pendent stations in the parish of Beeston on Friday last,
at 3h. 57 min. p.m., and, of course, in broad daylight.
Had this phenomenon occurred at night time, it would
have been a glorious object.
The following particulars niay be relied upon :—The
meteor moved nearly perpendicularly down, inclining to
east. It was first seen as a circular body, of about half the
apparent diameter of the sun, being accompanied by a
stream of light ; afterwards it increased to almost the
diameter of the sun, and then burst into fragments, with
an explosion. The report of the explosion was from 1 sec.
to 3 sec. after the meteor had disappeared, and resem-
bled distant thunder. The meteor passed over about
15 deg. of space, disappearing 30 deg. E. of N., at an
altitude of about 10 deg. ; duration, 3 sec. It was very
brilliant, shining with a somewhat yellow light. Soon
afterwards, near the spot where it had disappeared, a
band of prismatic colours was visible, being 2 deg. wide
and 5 deg. in length. This phenomenon when first per-
ceived was as brilliant as a rainbow, but soon faded,
finally disappearing in about 5 min. Clouds were dis-
persed over the sky, from behind one of which the
meteor appeared, afterwards vanishing behind another.
The prismatic colours were seen upon clouds, or shining
through them.

The difference of position as seen from two stations
half a mile asunder, together with the report from the
explosion occurring within 1 sec. and 3 secs., makes it
probable that it fell within a mile of this place, most
likely north of the Beeston Observatory, and north-west
of the Highfield-house Observatory. Search will be made
for meteoric fragments, and possibly with good chance
of success.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient
Observatory, Beeston, Oct. 29.

The Anglo Celt contains the following :—"The pro-
prietor of this journal, Mr. Wallace, left the gaol of
Cavan at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, the term
of his imprisonment having been completed an hour pre-
viously. A large bonfire blazed upon Tullymengan-
hal) and c4efirs, such as me seldom hears, rang from its
top for lusty an hour in the evening."

[ADvERTisEmENT.I—ALIETITENANT OF MRAGOONS
CURED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT
AND PILLS.—This officer, who is in the Dutch army,
states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured
him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as
neither sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparation s vaunted
as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treatment of
the doctor, after several months' trial, was without suc-
cess. At this juncture he commenced taking these Pills
and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining parts
twice a day, which effectually cured him in the oourse of
six weeks. The truth of this statement can be winched for
by Mr. J. B. Stratman, of Bois-le-Duc.—Sold by 811 drug-

Vice-Admiral Bruat has taken the command of
the ocean squadron at Brest.
The price of bread in Paris will remain the same
as it was during the first fortnight of November.
The British steam-corvette Fury left Marseilles,
on the 28th ult., for -Constantinople. She carries
despatches for Lord Stratford de Redcliffe.
Letters brought by the Carodoc announce that
the Thabor had effected the passage between Mar-
seilles and Constantinople in five days and a few
hours. The Thabor is a -new vessel, belonging to
the Messageries Imperiales. The journey was un-
dertaken to test her speed, and the Prefect of the
Mouths of the Rhone embarked in her, on a leave
of absence, for that pleasure excursion. The Tha-
bor was to quit Constantinople on the 25th, but,
as she was to call in at Smyrna and Messina on
her return, she was not expected at Marseilles
before the 2d or 3d instant.

The Three per Cents. rose yesterday on the Bou-
levard to 73f. 60c., but it having been reported
that 30,000 Turks had crossed the Danube, they
fell to 73f. 15c.

The Moniteur announces that the Minister of
Marine and Colonies has annulled the contracts
entered into on the 17th for the general supply of
hemp, on account of the exaggerated prices. Cer-
tain lots have, however, been accepted for Brest,
Lorient, and Toulon, and the remainder are to be
obtained by private arrangement.
The sums paid into the Paris Savings' Bank
during the past week amount to 462,1111., from
4,232 accounts, of which 561 are new, and the
sums reimbursed to 517,019 f. The sums received
for the Caisse de Retraites for the aged amount to
36,663 f., from 1,656 accounts, of which 2Q5 are
new.

The new Ambassador for Constantinople has not
yet left for his post. He has had, however, his
last instructions from the Emperor and the
Minister of Foreign Affairs. He dines this even-
ing with the latter, and it is probable that another
hour or so will be passed in a tete-a-tete conversa-
tion between the military envoy and his immediate
political superior, during which the ideas and in-
tensions of this Government will be impressed
upon him once more. I have no doubt that firm-
ness as well as moderation has been particularly
recommended to him in the discharge of whatever
duties he may be called on to perform.

P.S.—Since writing the above, I have ascertained
that it was well seen from Beeston by Mr. W. Felkin,
jun., who has kindly given me these additional interest-
ing particulars :—The meteor at first moved much more
