STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 30. The tone of to-day's
market has been decidedly firm. There has been a
great disposition on the part of buy. ri to do business at
the rates asked this day week, both in goods and yarn ;
but the rise in cotton has induced those who can hold to
seek an advance, which has materially checked opera-
tions. For those qualities of goods and yarn, especially
the latter, suitable for India., slightly better prices have
been obtained.

ROCHDALE, MARCH 29.—The flannel market has
been quiet to-day, with a rather thin attendance of buyers.
A small manntacturer stopped payment last week;
his liabilities are said to be about 1,0001. The principal
creditors are the Halifax wool deslers. The wool
market has been slack, but prices firm. Broke wool,
from 10d. to 14d. per lb., is very scarce, which will have
its due effect upon prices.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY, MAncrf 27.—Although we
cannot note any improvement in the market to-day,
either as regards the attendance of buyers or the dis-
posal of go 41?, yet there seems to be a better
feeling in the hall, arising from the downward
tendency of the corn market, as well as the genial
promise of the spring. There is a slight improvement in
the demand for yarn, but hitherto without any corre-
sponding increase in price ; though, as the idle ma-
chinery becomes fully employed, that may be expected
to follow. The stock of long wool in the market is dimi-
nishing, without any temptation in price to purchase to
replace it, as no advance can be established. Hogs are
scarce.—ln short wools there is less doing, and pur-
chasers buy with great caution ; but the prices are de-
cidedly firmer. _ _

HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 30.—The attendance of buyers
to-day has been numerous, principally on American
account; but they have evinced considerable care and
caution in making their purchases. There is not much
doing for the home trade.

LEEDS, MARC 11 30.—There is a rather improving
tone in our market, and a fair average businest has been
doing since last week: the demand chiefly runs on low
cloth. The Government contracts now out cannot but
act favourably on our market:,.—lllanchester Guardian.

ADELPIII THEATRE.—Mr. C. It Adams, according
to annual custom, has taken possession of this theatre for
the few days preceding Easter, and is now nightly giving
his popular lecture on astronomy, aided by a series of in'
genious scenery, well calculated to illustrate the phenomens
of the heavens, and develop the governing laws. Mr. Adams:
delivers his lecture with plainness and simplicity—in a forte
the best suited to the understanding of young people, who,-
in the course of the two hours they are in his company,
become possessed of a vast number of interesting facts,
represented with a practical distinctness that ensures the •
permanent retention on the memory. On the discovery of
the new planet he dwells with the natural enthusiasm of the
astronomer, enlarging eloquently on the recognition of this
important appendage to our system, which, although 0131
thousand times as large as the earth, has in all probability
been travelling in the realms of space since the creation, OUT
unseen and constant companion. While touching upon the
phenomena of eclipses, Mr. Adams refers especially to the,
annular eclipse of the sun, which will occur in the course of
October next. Between the parts a Mr Johnson con'
tributes some pleasing performances on the musical glasses.

DESTRUCTION OF CITY CHURCHES.—It is reported
in the City, that the church of St. Benet, Gracechurch-street,
is shortly to be removed, and that many others will ere long

we deplore the reAioval of any of them.—The Builder.
