STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, OCT. 12.—Since our last report,
,here has been no fresh failures of importance in this
town or its neighbourhood. A rumour which pre-
vailed to some extent on Friday, of the stoppage of
Messrs. Southam, cotton spinners, of Ashton-under-
Lyne, was confirmed on Saturday morning. Their
engagements are said to be about 16,000/. ; and the
prospect of dividend is understood to be by no means
encouraging. A small failure was also announced
yesterday, namely, that of the firm of Edward and
Robert Andrew, calico printers; but we believe it is
of very little importance in any respect.
The creditors of Messrs. De Jersey and Co. held
a meeting on Monday, when a statement of the affairs
of the firm was laid before them, and proved highly
satisfactory. It appeared that the total liabilities
were 345,0001., and the assets 435,000/. ; leaving a
balance in favour of the firm of 90,0001. It was also
stated that the only fixed property included in the
assets consisted of two mills at Rochdale, which were
valued at 20,0001., and that the assets consisted
principally of good debts in Rusia, and of yarn in
or on its way to that country ; that the firm had
no connexion with manufacturing establishments
in Russia, or with the firm of John Thomas,
Son, and Lefevre, of London, who were indebted
to De Jersey and Co. only to the extent of 7001.
The failure was stated to have arisen from an irregu-
larity in the receipt of remittances from Russia, the
immediate cause of which had not been distinctly
ascertained. After very full explanations had been
given, the creditors passed some resolutions expressive
of their satisfaction with the information afforded,
and their full confidence in the resources of the house;
and it was agreed that three of the creditors should be
appointed as inspectors; and that, under their direc-
tion, the funds to be realised should be from time to
time distributed rateably amongst the creditors. We
understand that some considerable remittances have
come to hand since the suspension, and that there
is every prospect of a very early payment of the first
instalment.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Stocks and
Tait was held yesterday, when it appeared that the
assets were likely to yield about six shillings in the
pound ; and it was determined to wind up the concern
under a fiat of bankruptcy.
We regret to say that a failure in London, an-
nounced yesterday, namely, that of William and James
Morley, Manchester warehouseman, Gutter-lane,
Cheapside, is likely to inflict loss upon many parties
in this town. The total liabilities of the firm are esti-
mated at about 120,0001., of which 40,0001. is
said to be due in London, about the same amount in
.Manchester, and the remainder in various other
places. What the assets are likely to prove seems
to be wholly unknown; but, as it is understood that
the partners have been very largely engaged in share
speculations, the chance of a large dividend is rather
problematical. We are glad to learn that, although
the total amount owing here is considerable, the indi-
vidual losses are not likely to be very heavy; and, so
far as we have heard, they have generally fallen upon
parties well able to bear them.
In Liverpool, there has been a small failure, that
of Mr. Mocatta, a merchant trading with the West
Indies and the Spanish Main ; but his liabilities are
not very heavy. Some uneasiness is understood to
be felt in that town on account of the large amount
of bills falling due on Saturday next; but we trust
it will prove to be without much foundation.
A Manchester correspondent of the Liverpool
Mercury of yesterday, announces the stoppage of
Messrs. Pennington and Ryder ; but we are glad
to learn that there is not the slightest foundation
for the rumour; Pennington and Ryder (of Liver-
pool) being a firm of undoubted property and credit.
The market for yarn and goods continues without
any material change. Notwitstanding the general
pressure fur money, spinners and manufacturers gene-
rally exhibit great firmness, and refuse to make sacri-
fices, even for immediate payment in cash. This has
been the case particularly in cloth, which has been
rather more firmly held than yarn. As may be sup-
posed, however, very little business has been done ; the
sellers showing just as little inclination as the buyers
to transact it.
During the last two days statements have been
circulated of the failure of the Oldham Banking
Company, a joint-stock concern of very small busi-
ness. We are assured, however, that there has been
no suspension of payment ; but the shareholders have
determined to wind up their affairs, and to dissolve
the company. We understand all their outstanding
engagements amount only to 8,0001.
The week's return, exhibiting the state of the mills,
&c., in the borough of Manchester, manifests a much
worse state of things than that published in the
Guardian of Wednesday last. It appears from these
returns, that within the last week no fewer than 13
mills have ceased working full time, of which seven
have commenced reduced hours, and six, or nearly
half, have entirely ceased. The position of the work-
people has necessarily been greatly affected by these
circumstances, for it appears that the numbers of those
fully employed have been reduced by 1,117, whilst
the numbers of those working only short time, and
of those out of employment altogether, have been in-
creased in the same ratio. Of course, those mills
time in these rethich work onlyurns ten
.hours, are taken as working full

We learn, also, that the stoppage of mills in the
adjoining district is increasing considerably ; whil
the delegates of the working spinners, in a meetin Et
g
held at Bolton, on Sunday last (a report of which will
be found elsewhere), recommended a general cessation
of labour, to commence on the 21st instant.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.— ere Th has
demand for flannels to-day, and price been a steady y
s of ever de-
scription have met with a
ready sale, at former prices.
The wool market has been more than usually quiet ;
the dealers show no disposition to push sales on credit,
and the manufacturers buy only for immediate use.
The prevailing opinion is. that wool cannot be higher,
with the present scarcity of money.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The continued monetary
pressure upon the commercial and manufacturing in-
terests exerts an increasing effect upon the trade of
this district. Manufactured goods are unsaleable,
even at a sacrifice, and prices are merely nominal.
In the yarn trade less is selling, but stocks are prs -
vented from accumulating by the prudence of the

spinners. Prices show no variation. The wool
! trade continues as last reported.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.--Ilusiness has been
vry dull in our cloth hall to-day, though some. orders
have been given out by the merchants. The trade in
•be warehouses, during the week, has been much the
same es that of previous seasons.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have no new features to
report about the state of our market ; business coninues
quiet.—lllanchester Guardian.
A

_LERGED STOppAGE OF MESSRS. PENNINGTON
AND RYDER.—we regret to state that in the letter of
.ur Manchester correspondent, the stoppage of the house
(if Pennington and Ryder is announced. As regards
the firm of Pennington and Ryder, of Liverpool, we are
assured there is not the slightest foundation for the
rumour. It is one of the most substantial and monied
houses in the kingdom. The supposition is that the
rumour has its foundation either in malice or jealousy.—
Liverpool Mercnry.
ARRIVAL Or MR. COBDEN AT HOME.---We are glad
to announce the return home, safe and well, of our dis-
tinguished and honoured fellow-citizen. Mr. Cobden,
who left Hamburgh on Saturday, by the Countess of
Carlisle mail steam ship, and arrived in London on Mon-
day morning, left the metropolis at six o'clock yester-
day morning, and reached Manchester about three
o'clock in the afternoon.—Manchester Guardian.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
TUESDAY.
Without going the length to say that this was the most
brilliant Cesarewitch day it has been our task to report,
we may safely affirm that in the almost summer-like
warmth, and the number and grade of the visitors, 4, has
not. often, if ever, been surpassed. Many hundkeds
:arrived by the regular and special trains, and to these
being added large detachments from Cambridge and
Bury, the thing on the Heath became, if not absolutely
" prodigious," at least very great. The interest of the
racing was confined to the Cesarewitch and Clearwell
Stakes. The first, it will be seen, was contested by no
less than thirty horses, one less than in 1846, and
resulted in the defeat of all the favourites, only one
of whom obtained a place. The victor is a half-bred
Irish horse, whose recent performances at Manchester
was anything but indicative of the qualities that carried
him through so successfully this afternoon. We should
mention, with reference to this race, that just before
starting, Geraldine reared up and fell back, fortunately
without injuring her jockey, but, from the shaking and
fright that ensued to herself, must have prejudiced her
chance. The Clearwell was also adverse to the favourites,
Blaze, an Irish horse, sustaining a defeat from Glendower,
after one of the strongest run races ever seen. With this
short introduction we proceed to the usual return:—

A few minutes after the time appointed, the horses
were brought in order to the post, and got off well at
the first signal, the dropping of the flag in advance being
answered by the new starting telegraph, which was placed
conspicuously in the ditch, for the purpose of announcing
the start to the spectators. Cawroush jumped off with the
lead, followed by Ulysses, next to whom were Geraldine,
Giselle, Rob Roy, and several other light weights, the
heavy weights and Vanity lying in the rear. They came
in this order through the ditch, Ulysses keeping his
place until nearly a quarter of a mile on the flat; he
then fell back, and Giselle became second, Geraldine
following her. The race continued in this order to the
end, Cawroush, without ever being caught, winning
cleverly by a length, Giselle beating Geraldine by nearly
two lengths. Cossack laid off to the new ground, where
he quitted his horses, and took his place next Geraldine,
making so good a finish that he could not have been
beaten more than half a neck, or half a length, for third
place. Pillage was fifth, and Lady Wildair sixth. Next
to this lot came St. Demetri and Wolfdog, and then a
ruck of at least a dozen. Rob Roy, War Eagle, Remi-
niscence, and the Goodwood horses, were beaten a long
long way. Run in 4 min. 2 secs. Value of the stakes,
1,6201.
Shortly before the race came off, a covey of partridges
made their appearance in the centre of the course, and
the whole of them, at least a dozen, were fairly run
down and killed.
