leaves the price'ot this. market far behind. Every -suc-
cessive advance in the raw material places the
spinner and manufacturer in a worse condition
than before ; and a continuance of the preen!
buoyant state of the Liverpool market must lead to it
rapid diminution of production. We learn that a large
concern in this town, and another at Beaton, Nho had
been previously working three days per week, have en-
tirely caised their mills; and that their example is likely
to be very extensively followed by the spinners of coarse
yarns.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY, APRIL 12.—We have had a
better attendance of buyers in the market to day, btu
th- re is no decided improvement for the better to report.
There is another failure in the manufacturing Hifi
announced; the liabilities are variously stated as ranging
from 12,000/. to 18,0001., a very- small portion of which
is in. Roceditle: the principal creditors are at Hudders-
field. The wool market continues flat, without any
change in prices worth noticing.
HALIFAX MARKET, APRIL 10.—The piece trade
remains in pretty much the same dub condition
as for some time past. The slight improve-
ment in yarn, noted last week, continues, and,
in some cases, accompanied by an advance in price.
The stocks of long wool are becoming lighter, and it is
probable more firmness would have been manifested, as
the growers refuse to part with it at prices that would
pay the stapler here, but the increasing tightness of
money leads all prudent parties to keep down stocks.
The transactions in short wool are not extensive, and
the finer qualities are rather easier to buy ; but the
lower qualities remain firm, as the supply is not abun-
dant.

HUDDERSFIELD, APRIL 13.—Trade has been very dull
in our market to-day, and there have been but few
buyers. The foreign houses continue to receive a fair
amount of orders; but those connected with the home
trade make great complaints,
LEEDS, APRIL 13.—There is no alteration in the
state of our market; business was scarcely so good last
Saturday, and to-day not much has been doing,
but prices are fully maintained. The unsettled
state of the monoy market could not but cluck
to rcantile operations ; people, begin, however.
to reason more calmly on the subject. and,
trusting to a liberal policy which the Bank of England
will adopt towards 'he trading c .mmunity, they think
hat, with upwards of ten millions of bullion in the ca..
feri, there are no real causes for such a great. alarm as
has been soutsdtd by speculators, and that things will
right tile mselvee without forcing the Baek to put on the
screw so very tightly.-211anchester Guardian.

STATE OF THE CORN MARKETS

IN FRANCE.
All the letters received on Monday in Paris from the
towns round the capital, without excepion. speak o.
higher prices having been in,isted on and obtained at
Saturda)'s markets. They also express a conviction,
that from the shorten a, of the supply off,reil fir sale
prices must again advance. The fodowing is given by.
these advice. as the amount of rise in the hectolitre of
wheat in the following markets :—R uer., 2'. ; Villers-
Cotterets, 2f. ; l3esuinont, 2t. ; Ligny, L. to 2f. Bra
ur-S ine. 2t' to 2f 60c. ; Etampes to 2'. 75c. ; Or•
leans,3f. 30c. to 4f. ; Vernon, 2-. to 2t. 50f ; Versailles,
tf. 33c. ; Soissons, If. 50c. to 2,. ; Pontoise, If. ; Dour-
dan, 3f. ; Melun, 2f. ; qiintereau, 2f. 66c. to 3t. 33c. ;
S. Quentin, 2f. ; Le Mans, 51.. 25c.
Th. accounts which we receive from Belgium state
that the corn markets in that country were again very
firm, and that in some instances there had been a de-
cided advance in price 4. The Independence Beige says:—
" l'he fall in corn which began to show itself seems
already to have stopped, although the fall which to,k
place in the last fortnight of March
being so great as the enormous! rise which took
place during the first few days of the same month ;
and although the prices are even now was far from
at a price so
excessive that it ought to induce holders to realise
their profits, the prices continue firm in ail the markets
of Belgium. The variations in our market on Saturday
were of little consequence, and the same was the case at
Antwerp, Ghent, and Louvainc. Today the provinci
papers and our own private 'letters inform us that
al
prices have remained without variation at Mons, Has-
selt, and Namur, and that there was a slight fall at
Poperinghe and Verviers ; hut at Bruges wheat rose
from 2.. to 2f. 50c. per hectolitre.
The it bread, at Buss, Is, from the 12th of
is fixed as follows:—First quality, 580. April, per kilo-
' granim.; second qinlity, 53e., and brown bread, 46c.
Compared with the previous fortnight, there is a fall of
lc. on the first and see and qualities.

WARSAW, MARCH 29.—The arrest of persons
politically suspected still continues.
ht Twelve ci
citadel
tizens
from the province have lately been broug to the
of Warsaw, who, it is affirmed, have read a prohibited
work. Some rigorous measures of the police have lately
made travelling by the railroad very difficult. Nobody
can travel without a passport; even if he only has a few
miles to go. Passengers on their arrival are often sub-
j; cted to personal examinations, so that the police may
esccrtain whether they have prohibited publications.
Travell, rs cannot leave Warsaw without the greatest
difficulties and obstacles being raised. The dello, able
account of last year in Galicia has found imitators
among the peasants in Russia ; we learn that thirteen
noblemen have lately been killed by their peasants in the
governments of Witepsk. General Dehn, the builder of
the citadel of Warsaw, has received directions to under-
take the iron railway from Warsaw to Moscow, which
has long been projected. The plan .has already been ap-
proved of at St. Petersburgh. This railway is to join
near Moscow with that from St. Petersburgh to Mth.uow,
so that from the point of junction it will be poss.ible to
go either to St. Peter,burgh or to Moscow. This rail-
way from St. Petersburgh to Moscow is to be completed
in the autumn of next year ; 50,000 workmen, besides
the peasants, are to be employed upon it, We now also
again hear of an iron railway from Moscow to Odessa.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.-..AS a general election
is expected to take place in the course of the present
year, changes, and rumours of changes will necessarily
henceforth be occasional topics of conversation and inte-
rest in politinal circles. One of these has just reached
us, and which may surprise some of our readers. It
appeers that J. Boned, Esq . one of . the Members' for
Mahlon, has determined to retire into private life, and
that. David Waddington, the Vice Chairman of the
Eastern Counties Railway Company, is intended to be
uroposed as his success.s. In fact, an active canvass in
some quarters has already commenced on his behalf ;' and
last bight (Thursday) a Weis: meeting of the Conserva-
tive Club was held at the Blue Boar Inn, Maldon, for
the Purpoie. we believe, of taking steps to promote thh
Hon. Gentleman's return for the borough. A requisi.

yet taken any very active part in the arena of political

and are, we believe. on most points in unison with those
of his colleague in office, George Hudson,
