Manchester Advertiser, of Saturday.
MANCHESTER -There hao been a :steady demand for
sugar this week, and sales to a fair extent have been
made at full prices; namely, Barbadoes from 465. to 525.
and Bengal from 495. to 545. The market for silk cos.
tinues in a depressed state, and the transactions t his week
are unimportant. There has been less inquiry i'or cot•
ton, and although no alteration can be quoted in pricer,
the previous value is not easily obtainable.-Manchester
Guardian of Saturday.
BRADFORD.-WOOI-OUT market is well supplied with
all kinds of combing wools, and the business doing it
barely an average, as the prices are too high to induce
the spinners to buy, except to supply their immediate
wants. Yarn-There is more doing in all kinds of yarns
o.nd a disposition to buy for future delivery; but the
prices current are so very low that the spinners could
not realise prime cost prior to the advance which is now
being given on combing wages, and there is no disposi-
tion to sell, except at higher rates. Piece-The pros-
pects cf an early reaped and abundant harvest are very
cheering, and hold out good hopes for a good home
trade for the autumn. The acccunts from the west are
equally satisfactOry; and the passing of the reduced ta-
riff and the Bondasi Duties Bill are looked upon as
highly beneficial, 60 ....bat we may expect to be busy
throughout the winter. Our market has been very
tire, and on some kinds of goods an advance has been
given.
ROCHDALE.-The flannel market s; ill con tinues inac-
tive, and the demand limited. Wool has undergone little
variation, either in price or quantity sold.
NOTTINGHAM.-The market has this week b‘len very
quiet, especially in the plain department. In :armies
more has been doing, res]ly good patterns finding a r.'adY
sale both for home and fofeign consumption.-Ifradj4,rd
Observer.
l'arsixv.-An unprecedented stir exists here for the
autumn trade at present. There ;s a very brisk demand
for weavers, principally at tartan fa hrics ; and warpers
and winders, in particular, have not beC'n so much in re-
quest for a dozen years past. This wort:: for winders is
a great relief to the town, and affords the toeans of sup-
port to many aged women who have long bee' in a very
destitute condition.-Glusgow Saturday Post.
IlAwrcK.-The trade of this place is uncommonly-
brisk. This is evidenced by the quantities of goods that
are daily leaving our warehouses. We have heard. that
one house cleared out about seven tons of hosiery last
week, and other firms are doing business OH an equally
extensive scale. A portion of these goods will cross the
Atlantic, but the greater part are destined, we under-
, stand, for the home market.-Kelso Chronicle.

THE HERRING FISHERIES.

BERWICK, AUG. 14.—Our take of herrings on the
first part of the week was very good, but these two
mornings past there has been a great falling off ; the
fish haviug apparently shifted their ground. Tuesday
morning most of the boats were successful ; highest 20
crans. Wednesday, highest take 27 crans. Thursday,
highest 12 crans. Friday, highest boat 3 crans,
and several boats clean. Several of our boats did not
venture out last night, in consequence of the threaten-
ing aspect of the weather. The fishermen say, there is
a large amount of fish on the coast, and the shoal must
have shifted, as the French boats seem to have removed.
These last, it appears, follow the fish with more skill
than even our boats can ; they are also better able to
watch the movements of the shoal, being at sea all the
day. Our men are full of complaints of their agressions
on the top of their nets ; boats as large as 70 toils
shooting nearer the shore than even our men dare do,
and considerable damage has been done to our men's
nets in this way. Three cargoes of herrings have gone
southwards this week, and the market is still open to
buyers. Price 14s. per cran to cadgers.
EYEMOUTIL—This week's fishing has been far the best
this season. On Tuesday and Wednesday morning a *
takes were from 10 to 35 crans per boat ; prices from'
12s. 6d. to 16s. 6d. per cran—the latter price was given
by the Yarmouth vessels. Six of them have sailed
during the week with full cargoes. This morning
(Thursday) the fishing has fallen off ; the takes are not
so heavy, and there are a good number of spent fish.
DUNBAR.—During the week there has been a fair
average fishing. A few boats have to the ,sxtent of 2.0
and 35, but more generally the amount is Isom ten to
20 crans, owing to the number of foreigners ; the quan-
tities of fish sent in a fresh state by the rail, and the'
anxiety of the home curers to make a beginning, prices
still keep at 15s. and I6s.
HOLY ISLAND.—In consequence of the very thick fog
that prevailed, our fishermen did very little last week.-
The weather, however, having cleared in some degree on
Sunday several of the boats put off' in the even-
ing. The highest take on Monday was 13 crans. On
Monday a few of the boats went south, and on Tuesday
one boat had 49 crans—others a few hundreds. On
Wednesday the highest we heard of was 27 crimps.
NORTH SUNDERLAND.—Our fishermen have been very
successful in the herring fishing during the past "'seek,
and if their labours be attended by the like success for a
short time longer, many of them will have their full com-
plement. At Beadnell and Newton they have beers
equally fortunate, although here as well as at Beadnell.
and Newton one or two have lost part of their nets. On
Friday, Saturday, and Monday mornings, the boats were
not all at the fishing, but those which were met with fair
success. On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings the
take was large, top boats 56 and 64 barrels each, Mon-
day and Tuesday prices were 14s. to 16s. ; Wednesday
lls. to 13s. One boat received on Tuesday n3orsulg 1
cash .511. 4s. On the whole the fishing this week, up le'
Wednesday, has been the best we have experienced for
two or three years.
ANSTRUTHER.—The fishing has not much improved.
We give the highest takes from the Ist of August:—
Aug. 1, 1 cran; Aug. 4, 1 cran; Aug. 5, 6 crans; Aug.
6, 10 crans; Aug. 7, li crans; Aug. 8, 10 crans. On
Thursday last the fishing was general.
ST. MONA NCE.—The success of the fishermen still'
continues limited and partial, and the adventures of seve-
ral nights have resulted in almost total failure. Up to
Saturday last the heaviest draught brought into this
harbour has not exceeded seven crans; and the price has
ranged from eighteen shillings to twenty-five shillings
per cran.
ZETLAND, Arc. 3.—The cod fishing has now ter-
minated, and, upon the whole, has been a complete
7ailure. A few of the boats have tried the herring fish-
mg, but without success, and it is currently stated that
there is no great prospect.

PETERSBURGH AND Moscow.—Anuther scion site.
noble house is soliciting the suffrages of the reading public,
through the medium of a book of travels of unusual clever-
ness and interest. We allude to " St. Petersburg and Mos-
cow, a Visit to the Court of the Czar," just published by
Richard Southwell Bourke, Esq. (nephew to the Earl of
Mayo)—a work likely to excite a considerable share of pub-
lic attention, from the new lights it throws upon the state of
Russia and the Russians, and the equally novel picture it
displays of the Emperor and his Court. The writer's noble
lineage procured him immediate access to the Emperor
SOd
the Empress—to court banquets and fashionable assemblies
—and the account he gives of them is as amusing as bis
chapters on graver subjects are instructive.
A NOTORIOUS BEGGING LETTER Imposine.—Fleary
Campbell, with many aliases, was on Friday last taken before
D. Barclay, Esq., and-other magistrates, at the Red Lion Inn,,
Dorking, charged by the Mendicity Society with obtaining
money under false pretences. Sir East Clayton East, Bart.,.
having been sworn, produced a long letter lie had received at-
his residence, Hall. place, near Maidenhead, on the
morning of the 19th of June last, bearing the Dorking
post mark, and dated from Mr. Peters's, South -street,
Dorking, June 18, and signed " Henry Campbell." The
letter stated that the writer had been a captain in the 12th
Light Dragoons, bad sold his troop, and entered into a spe-
culation that totally ruined him. That a concern was now
offered him at Dorking that would enable him to support hie
family, but he required a few pounds to pay for fixtures, fre..
He appealed to Sir C. East as a benevolent character, to add
his mite to assist in placing the family of an old soldier in
more comfortable circumstances. He enclosed a forged testi-
monial as from the Colonel of the 12th, with a attbt
scrintion of 21. against his name. Believing the statement
to be true, Sir Clayton East returned the testimonial
with a Post-office order for 1/. The postmaster's wife
proved paying the prisoner the amount of the Post-office
order from Sir East Clayton East. An officer from the 12t
Light Dragoons (now stationed at Brighton) proved that he
had served thirty years in that regiment ; during that time
no officer named Campbell belonged :o it. That he had
searched the records of the regiment that morning, as far
back as 1797, but could find no officer named Campbell had
served in it, and that he did not believe the prisoner had
ever served as a private in the regiment. The magis-
trates sentenced the prisoner to three months' hard
labour in the Guildford House of Correctiotf: Mr.
Knevitt, from the Mendicity Society, stated he had
known the prisoner as an impostor since August, 1836, and
that he had been convicted and imprisoned for a similar
offence. Mr. Knevitt then drew the magistrate's attention
to the 17th clause of the Vagrant Act, and requested that a
copy of the present conviction might be returned to the
Quarter Sessions, the prisoner being an old offender, who had
brat for a long time writing in various names to the benevo-
lent, from Dorking, Reigate, Leatherhead, and other towns
and villages in Surrey. The postmaster of Dorking proved
he had given the prisoner letters in the name of Camebell.
and paid him another Post-office order in that name, and
that he first applied to him for letters in the name of blajot
Bona ney.
FIRE AT THE GREENWICH RAILWAY.-011 M0111%,X;
between the hours of nine snit ten, the stores belonging to Mr. JoSeilts
Horredine; occupying No. 113 arch of the Greenwich Railway, from!
some cause unknown, took fire. The stock-in-trade consisted of
large quantity of linen, woollen, and cotton rags, the general cellar,
tion of a marine store dealer. The flames shot up high above the
railway, on either side, and for some time caused considerable alarm.
Owing to the great distance of the place from the main street, a con-
siderable time elapsed before a sufficient supply of water could be ob-
tained to work the eng,nes. At length, however, by uniting the hose,
the power of two engines was brought to bear upon the flames,
but owing to the strong hold they had previously obtained, the whole
length of the arch, nearly forty feet by twenty, was completely red
with heat. By great exertions the firemen got the mastery over the
flames, but before that was accomplished, a very considerable quan-
tity of the stock-in-trade was totally destroyed. The trains were
running as usual at ten o'clock. the town of
