The Sun Newspaper, containing his MA-
JESTY'S speech, was delivered here by express on Wednes-
day morning, in time for breakfast, an instance of despatch
as extraordinary as it is unequalled, and anticipating by
eight hours all the other London Evening Papers ! We
state this in justice to the proprietors of that spiri►ed Jour-
nal, and we beg them to accept our thanks for the two
papers with which we were so politely furnished.—Stock-
port Advertiser of Friday.
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—We are
happy to announce that his Grace was yesterday consi-
dered in a materially improved state, and that well-founded
hopes are entertained of his speedy recovery from the ef-
fects of the severe cold with which he was attacked during
his residence on the coast. The anxious inquiries at
Apaley-house yesterday continued to the latest hour, and
the favourable answers were cheering to all.

The marriage of the Right Hon. ERNEST
AUGUSTUS Viscount VALLETORT, eldest son of the Earl
of MOUNT EDGECUMBE, to CAROLINE, daughter of Cap-
tain and Lady ELlzaNzriz FIELDING, was solemnized by
special license at the chapel at Bowood, on Tuesday eve-
ning. The cortege, which left Lacock Abbey, the seat
of Captain FIELDING, consisted of four carriages, con-
taining the near relatives of the bride and bridegroom,
among whom were the Earl of MOUNT EDGECUMBE, Cap-
tain and Lady E. FIELDING, Mr. TALBOT and Miss HO-.
RATIA FIELDING. The bridal party were entertained at
dinner by the Marchioness of LANSDOWNE, and in the
evening the nuptial ceremony was performed by the Rev.
Mr. PALEY, Vicar of Lacock (son, we believe, of the
celebrated Archdeacon 11..u.xv), in the presence of the
above•named distinguished persons, and of the Marchioness
of LANSDOWNE, Lord HENRY FITZMAURICE and Lady
LOUISA FITZMAURICE. Viscount and Viscountess VAL-
LETORT departed from Bowood, on Wednesday morning,
for Melbury, in Somersetshire, the seat of the Earl of
IccirEsTEß, where they will pass the honey-moon. The
Marquis of LANSDOWNE and the Earl of ILCHESTER
were unavoidably absent in London.
STATE OF TRADE.—In our last week's ar-
ticle on this subject we said, on the authority of a com-
mercial friend, " It was confidently anticipated that the
large shipments made to the United States during the last
summer and autumn would completely overstock the mar-
ket, an apprehension which, as far as respects stuff goods,
we are happy to learn has not been realised ; on the con-
trary the accounts are satisfactory, and there is a pros-
pect of renewed activity when the season returns." We
have subsequently bee❑ infnrmed, by another commercial
friend, that we were in error, and as a proof of it, the
following extracts from letters of recent date from the
United States, are placed in our hands We never re-
ceived a shipment at a more critical state of the market,
when nearly all the dealers are supplied, and goods were
falling rapidly; woollens and stuffs have fallen SO per
cent."—‘, The demand for every description of goods is
decreasing daily, anti we can only sell in small lots, to ac-
commodate the demand of our customers."—" Business
is falling off, hnd prices lower than they were even a
month ago. I consider it arising from various causes, and,
among others, the quantity of goods in the market has
been very great." Such is the state of the markets for
the products of the Yorkshire looms in the United States;
we wish we knew where to look for snore cheering inti-
mations.—Leeds Intelligences•.

THE SHROPSHIRE COLLIERIES AND IRON-
WORKS.-The " strike" of the Staffordsh;re workmen,
has been followed by a refusal to work on the part of the
nien near Wellington, &c. in this county. On Sunday,
delegates from Staffordshire poisoned the minds of the
Shropshire workmen, and on Monday many of the works
in this county were stopped ; the Staffordshire rioters pre-
vented the men from working at the Old Patk and Don-
nington Wood. On Tuesday morning, at four o'clock,
the rioters followed the same course at other works. Im-
mediate measures were then taken to resist these illegal
proceedings. The Wellington troop of cavalry was called
out ; and soon reinforced by a troop (rein this town ; in
the evening two more troops reached Wellington, and a
body of pensimers. On Wednesday morning the cavalry
were out by four o'clock, and matched through the Col-
lieries, and to Shiffnal, without meeting with any assem-
blaze of men : the day passed off quietly. Indeed, the
disturbances that have arisen, have chiefly been by young
men and lads. Thus far the troops were unmolested, and
the parties of colliers appeared peaceable. But yesterday
(Thursday) morning, the Wellington cavalry were sud-
denly despatched to Steerway lime-works, where the turn-
out workmen were compelling the labourers to quit their
\yolk. When the cavalry arrived, the misguided men,
comprising several hundreds, sought shelter in the wood ;
and us they exercised no violence, the cavalry did not at-
tempt to surround or dislodge them, which they might
have done. At a late hour last night we received no ac-
counts of importance; and it is hoped that if the mischievous
men from other places can be arrested the evil will not extend.
Some statements have gone abroad of the men being op-
pressed by a system of paying them for a ton of coal,
when they have in reality got a ton and a half, or nearly.
This is a mistake. The charter masters—a sort of midd'e
men—employ the labouring colliers and iron stone getters
by the day. Anather of the colliers' grievances is the
Tommy Shop. This has undoubtedly been a source of
oppression,
but it is so near its termination that it is now
adly worth naming, and has been no grievance atuon4
the Shropshire works. We grieve to
.state that many
colliers have been committed to Stafforn gaol ;_fourteen
are committed to Worcester goal. Two were yesterday
committed to our gaol, for three months' imprisonment
to bard labour.—Shrewamry Chronicle of Friday.
