STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER.—There was no improvement whatever
in our market yesterday. The demand both for yarn
and goods was exceedingly limited, and prices continued
to droop.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. s4,_
There has been some little improvement in the market
to-day, as compared with last Monday's ; rather more
pieces have been sold, but there is no change in the
prices. The wool market has been rather flat, and prices
stationary.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, FEB. 25.—This market has
been much the same as for two or three weeks past--dull
and inanimate. Buyers were more numerous ; but the
demand was very limited, and prices still ruinously low.
Generally speaking, we seldom knew the prospects for
spring trade so discouraging.

IRELAND.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
DUBLIN, FRP. 25.

A rigid and minute investigation of the manner in
which the business of each divisional office of police in this
city is conducted will take place by order of tie Govern-
ment in a few weeks, when Mr. Hatchell, Q. C., and
Mr. Monahan, Q. C., before whom it is to occur, shall re-
turn from their respective circuits. Such a course was
absolutely necessary in consequence of the manner this
important branch of the administration of justice was here-
tofore dealt with, arising from the advanced ages of several
of the Magistrates, and the total incapacity of others.
Shortly after the introduction of the new police force, and
when Lord Normanby was Lord Lieutenant, one office,
over which the Chief Magistrate presides, and must from
its nature be the direct organ of communication with the
Government, was found to be conducted in such a way
that his Excellency offered Alderman Darley and Major
Sirr their full pay, if they retired, in order that others
better qualified might be appointed more capable of dis-
charging their duties. This generous offer was positively
refused by Major Sirr.
No doubt whatever exists that the result of the Commis..
sion will be a complete triumph on the part •f the Govern-
ment, because an opportunity will be afforded his Excel-
lency of compelling those functionaries to retire whose
incapacity is so detrimental to the public service. Although
the inquiries will be conducted privately, yet the earliest
intelligence will be afforded you of every matter which will
be brought fc:ward, as well as the final decision of the Exe-
cutive.

Rumours are afloat to-day that Symon, who is under
sentence of execution for the murder of the unfortunate
sawyer, Hanlon, ten years ago, will be transported for
life, as the Jury who tried him have memorialized the Go-
vernment to spare his life, on the ground of four others
having already been executed for the offence, and that the
ends of justice have on that account been amply satisfied.

TIIE
PRINCK kND PRINCESS or CAPUA.-
The statement of their Highnesses having taken a mansion in
Milton-crescent, near their former residence, now• let on lease
to the Duchess of Kent, is not correct. The Prince and his
family still occupy a suite of apartments in Alivart's Hotel,
and we believe it is not his Royal Highness's intention to take
another mansion.
