STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Liverpool Chronicle.)
THE COTTON TRADE, MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—The demand
for goods continues unabated. On some descriptions a small advance
has been obtained ; and most descriptions are saleable in quantities at
the currency of last week. There is no alteration In yarns, though
cotton is the turn dearer than on this day se'imight.
WootuN TRADE, LEEDS, TUESDAY.—Things are better with us
than for some weeks past, as indicated by the extent and number of pus.
chases made both within and without the halls, and in the absence of
almost all orders of America. There is confidence and tone in both the
manufacturers and merchants, for which it is difficult to account, sinless
on the supposition that things are really improving; that the present
prices will be kept up there is little doubt, as most of the manufacturers
are limiting the production 4s.
RODEDALE FLANNEL MAREF.T, MONDAY.—Business was of the ordi-
nary character; the demand for good,, as it is called, being in fact no
demand, but a provokingly indifferent inquiry. A few small lots, under
particular circumstances, went for a very trifle snore than the same
description of flannels fetched the week previous; but nothing to j.istify
a description of advanced prices was recognised in the market. Wools
were about on a par with flannels ; a moderate, quiet, creeping kind of
business was done, at tirir. prices. Oils varied nothing ssnce last week.
Banneoan, nasnay.— In t;;;.'
influx of parties usually purchasers;
piece-market to-day there was a great
bu: we think that not more than
our aver,ge business was actually done,
am: that average at pries,
which are by no means remunerating. Still prices We, not lower, but
certainly no real improvement can fairly be noted.—Yarns, the onlyi
difference from the report of the last few weeks is, that prices are a I. .ft"'
firmer, but not the least variation in value. Wool : in the common
sorts of wool, things have been dull and heavy ; but in the better de.
icriptions for combing purp,,ses a fair extent of business must be noted,
and the prices, though not generally higher, are fully kept sip.
Haurax, SATURDAY.—'IIie trade to.day was about of the tame com-
plexion as the two last markets ; a very fair demand especially for last-
ings, and with a decided firmness in prices, though generally the value
cannot be said to have improved.
HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesnay.—The chief run of business this week has
been confined to the hall, in which a good business has been done. As
at this season fancy woollens are generally in demand, so to-day this has
been decidedly a good market for them, and even common plains
have improved; light or half-milled goods for summer wear, have been
in request also.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)

Plant out Lettuce as fast as they become large enough.
Stick Peas of the taller kinds.
Sow 13rocoli seed for autumn, Green Cape, Purple Cape, Granges
early ; early purple, or early white, or some of each.
Plant out Cabbage odlall sorts, Savoys, &c.
Sow Turnip seed, keep crops already forward properly cleaned and
thinned.
Radish and all kinds of salad may be sown alternate weeks.
Earthing up, hoeing, cleansing, &c., as before.
Many crops, in gardens within moderate compass will be benefitted
by a copious watering ; not a mere sprinkle of the row or rows, which
does more harm than good, but a thorough soaking that shall saturate
the whole ground on which the crop stands, otherwise the dry part soon
absorbs the moisture given to the immediate roots, and the plants derive
no nourishments.
. Tulles now in flower, shade as before.

AURICULAS may have all the weather, but must be carefully guarded
from slugs.
RANUNCULUSES.—Continue to water all the ground they are planted
in, and see that the earth is well closed aiout the roots.
Tie up all tall growing herbaceous plants and flowers In the borders,
to keep them neat and tidy.

The labourers on the railroad near Leicester are
continually robbed of their wages by the sub.contractors, who, having
drawn the money due to these mm, are in the habit of running away
with it, to the great injury of the small tradesmen who have given them
creel'"

it, and causing continual alarm to the people of this city, the navi-
gators being driven to madness by these dishonest practices.—Leicester
Herald.

Last week, a child, about 18 months old, son Of
Mr. Archibald Butter, Lochranza, Arran, was drowned in a strum
adjoining his father's hotee, A similar accident occurred to a child of
the same age, son of Mr. Archibald ITKenzie, boatman, in the Glen of
Lochratiza.—Scots Times.
Sir Robert Peel apoears to have taken a leaf out of
the last work of Chateaubriand, which we are inclined to think that
eocereric personage stole from Machiavelli. Many of his party adopted
lone aeo the policy recommended—namely, to oppose the Government,
right or wrong—to disregard principle, and put conscience out of the
question. The Ministry and every one else believed, after what fell from
the Duke of Wellington, that. the Tories would meet the Whigs half '
way on the Irish tithe question ; and when Ministers exposed themselves
to the attack, the whole party fell upon them. This is in accordance
with Chateaubriand's principle. The conclusion of the paragraph, how.
ever, applies to more parties than one ;—" A systematic opposition ap-
pears to me the only one proper for a constitutional form of government.
An opposition of conscience is useless. Uncombined opposition consists
in floating between parties—in champing the bit; in voting sometimes
for the men you would displace, and in plat ing the magnanimous while
absorbed in vacation. It is a mutinous imbecility in the common so:-
diers—a system of ambitious compromise among the chiefs of party."
We have just seen some Asphalte, of materials ob-
tained in the neighbourhood of Dover, which appears to possess the
requisite properties of hardness and durability which a road-making ma-
terial requires ; and from its component ingredients cannot, it is evi-
dent, be influenced either by moisture or the extremes of heat and cold.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA, Nov. 11.--The Company's whaling ship, South
Australian, went on s'tore at Encounter Bay, in a gale of wind, where
she lay bilged, after having ['eaten over a reef of rocks. Some hopes
were entertained that she would be got off, but it is feared the injuries
she received are too extensive to be tepaircd a ith the means_afforded
at the settlement. The brig Sir Charles ‘‘l'Carthy was sold for the be •
nefit of the underwriter, as she lay on the shore in floldfast Bay, and
was purchased by Mr. Wright, master of the hired cutter William, for
6001. (her hull 200/., and her masts, sails, rigging, &c. about 4001.)
Mr. Wright, having got her off' and f mnd her uninjured, fitted her out
immediately, and sold her to the Company for the sum, we hear, of
2,0004

(From Galignani's Messenger.)
Etats, MAY 18.—We are sorry to have to announce the decease of
Prince Talleyrand, which took place yesterday afternoon, at four o'fslock,
in his hotel, Rue St. Florentin. For several days the Prince's liezlth
has been In a rapidly declining condition, and a large boil with which he
was affected, and which is generally fatal to persons of advanced age,
caused lively apprehensions as to its result from the time of its first an.
pearance. Yesterday morning, at half.pay eight, the King and Madame
Adelaide honoured the illustrious invalid with a visit; and the inquiries
of the members of the Corps Diplomatique and the Nobility were in.
cessant. The Abbe Dupanloup remained, it is said, with the Prince
more than an hour. At noon all hope appeared to be lost, and the
patient gradually sunk till the time of his final dissolution. The Mes-
sager states that Lis Majesty vas with the Prince a few minutes before
his death ; and the Gazette ce Prance maintains that a retrarAaticn was
signed by him during the morning, in the presence of the Archbishop of
Paris, Counts Mole and St. Aulaire, Baron de Barante, the Duke de
Valancay, M. Royer Collard, and six other witnesses, after which he re..
ccived all the sacraments of the Church. Prince Talleyrand was in his
84th year; his death, no less than his life, is an event of European
impovinee'
