STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, JULY 7.—Since the middle of last
week, some of the home trade houses have been buying
goods rather more freely than before; but the com-
parative absence of shipping demand keeps the market
quiet. Prices are, on the whole, well sustained. In the
yarn market there has been little demand, and prices
are not quite so firm.
ROCHDALE, JULY 6.—There has been an extremely
dull market today; few buyers have attended, and
those few have purchased sparingly. The wool market
has been much the same as that on the preceding
Monday.
HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 7.—There is considerable im-
provement in our market to-day. We have had a good
attendance of buyers, and many sales might have been
effected, had the manufacturers been inclined to make
concessions; but as the stocks are low, there is no in-
ducement to sell until remunerative prices can be ob-
tained.
LEEDS, JULY 7.—Although no actual improvement
has taken place as yet in our markets, a decidedly better
feeling, indicative of confidence, is daily gathering
Strength; and, from the total absence of every political
excitement, as well as from the cheering prospects of a
good harvest, we may safely infer that a good business
is close at hand. The reduced tariff en broad cloths by
Russia cannot fail to prove beneficial to our manufac-
turers, and it is looked upon as a precursor of further
measures condemnatory of restrictions in trade.—Man-
chafer Guardian.

STOREKEEPER.

71. In the management and issue of clothing and
stores, the strictest economy must be exercised, and due
care must be taken to have everything which admits of
mending properly repaired. All articles will bear the
mark of the establishment, and be numbered from No. 1
onwards.
72. Unserviceable stores, when condemned by the
superintendent and visiting magistrates, will be received
into store and remain for survey and disposal by the
ordnance authority.
73. The officer in charge of stores will be allowed the
assistance of one or more of the women, waiting to be
hired, when requisite : but the supertendent will limit
the number to what may be absolutely necessary.

JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS IN IRELAND.
DUBLIN, JULY 6.—Chief Baron Brady, whose ad-
mirable• conduct as a judge has won for him the un-
qualified approbation of all parties, yesterday received
an official announcement of his appointment as Lord
Chancellor of Ireland. This selection will give universal
satisfaction.
Mr. Pigot, the former Whig Attorney-General, is to
be the new Chief Baron of the Exchequer, a station for
which he is eminently qualified.
Chief Baron Brady was to have gone the Munster
circuit as one of the judges of assize, and it became
necessary at once that a judge should be appointed in
his place. Yesterday Mr. Greene, who still acts as
Attorney-General, waited upon Mr:Sergeant Stock, the
late member for Cashel, with an intimation that he had
been selected as judge of assize, in consequence of the
acceptance of the office of Lord Chancellor by Chief
Baron Brady. Mr. Stock, sho is first sergeant, left
town this morning for Ennis, accompanied by Mr.
Edwin Battersby, as his register, to attend the Munster
circuit.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.

41. Divine service will be performed by the respec-
tive religious instructors in the morning and afternoon
of every Sunday, Christmas-day, and Good Friday, at
such hours as may be determined on by the superinten-
dent. Prayers are also to be read daily, in the morning
and in the evening, by the' resident religious instructor.
42. The religious instructors will have the general
superintendence and interior management of the daily
and Sunday schools, in which they will be aided by the
school-assistants.
43. The religious instructors are to make themselves
acquainted with the women of their respective flocks in-
dividually, in order that they may be enabled to judge
of the nature of the instruction each may- require ;
and, with the same end in view, they will keep a record-
book of the age, occupation, condition, education, char-
acter, and conduct of the women, and of such other par-
ticulars as they may find useful towards the discharge
of their duties.
44. The fundamental parts of education alone are to
be taught; and, as the probation of the woman may be
for so short a period as six months, it should be a main
object to teach those to read who cannot already do so.
All such women must receive instruction regularly in
school.
45. The women in hospitals, in separate apartments
and in cells, are to be visited, and inspected daily by
their respective religious instructors, who will enter
their visits in their journals of duties performed.
46. In the performance of these duties much is of
necessity left to the discretion of the religious in-
structors, on whose zeal and :prudence every reliance
is placed.
47. The respective religious instructors will issue
-11finiggzu.ifilizion to the women under their care. The
resident religious instructor, and the books comprising
it be under his care.

DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT BRITAIN.--LIVERPOOL,
TUESDAY EVENING.—The Great Britain sailed hence for
New York at a late hour this evening, taking out 103 pas-
sengers and an unusually rich .freight list. Of her passengers
one has been out in this remarkable vessel no less than three
times; two others are now making their second passage. It
is anticipated she will accomplish the passage within the
apace of fifteen days.
DEATH OF M. HALLETTE.—A letter from Arras
announces the death of M. Hallette, head of the firm of that
name, and inventor of the atmospheric railway system, which
is called after him. He had lately gone to England to
superintend the application of his plan, and it is supposed
that excess of exertion was the immediate cause of his death,
On landing at Boulogne, on his return, he was taken ill, and
though transported to his nephew's residence at Ilesdim,
where every possible attention was paid him, he never
rallied, but expired

Mr. AUSTIN—Mr. Swift, I tell you the point has been
settled a few days ago, with a reference to the opinion of
Lord Shaftesbury.
The CHAIRMAN—I think it will cost more time to hear the
argument than to admit the locus standi.
Mr. Austin accordingly gave way.
Mr. Erringten's examination and cross-examination being
concluded, several other witnesses were called and examined,
who gave evidence in support of that given yesterday, on
general points.
The case for the promoters of the Bill occupied their Lord-
ships the whole day, and was not concluded when they rose

GREENWICH ELECTION.

The sheriff of the county of Kent having issued his pre-
cept to the high constable (T. B. Fisher, Esq.), cf the borough,
that gentleman has appointed that a general meeting of the
electors shall be holden at the hustings, next the parish
church, on Monday next, the 13th instant, at ten o'clock in
the forenoon, for the purpose of electing a burgess to serve in
Parliament for the borough of Greenwich. It is currently-
reported that Dr. Bethel], of the Chancery bar, will be put
in nomination in opposition to Admiral Dundas, recently
appointed one of the Lords of the Admiralty. No credit is
placed in this report.

YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING).
WAKEFIELD, WEDNESDAY.—In consequence of the York-
shire assizes commencing to-morrow, and being likely to last
over next week, the Iligh Sheriff has appointed the election
of a Member for the West Riding, in place of Lord Viscount
Morpeth, appointed First Commissioner of Woods, Forests,
&e., on a day not quite so early as it might otherwise have
been held. The election is fixed for Saturday, the 18th inst.,
at Wakefield, the place appointed by the Reform Act. Lord
Morpeth's return will, for anything that has hitherto ap-
peared, be unopposed.

SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.
WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.—No symptoms of an
opposition to the re-election have as yet been manifested;
anything of the kind would be, in fact, a farce in the
present temper of the constituency. The Hon. and Gallant
Colonel has not yet personally addressed the electors. The
day of nomination is fixed for Friday, the 17th instant, at
Lichfield.

weight, and according to the contract quality.
66. The various mess-rooms arc to be regularly visited
at In ?al hours by officers appointed by the superinten-
dent for that purpose.
67. The duty of these officers will be to see that the
provisions are equally distributed to the several messes ;
that they are of full allowance, wholesome and well
cooked, and that the conduct of the women at their meals
is regular. On these points, as well as on any com-
plaints made by the NOMOII as regards diet, daily re-
ports will be made to the superintendent. These reports
must be so full as to enable the superintendent to judge
of the duty having been properly performed.
GS. The variovs wards, dormitories, and places of con-
finement must be frequently visited during the day by
the chief assistant, who will be particularly careful that
proper ventilation is attended to, so that there is no
dam p.
69. This officer will also inspect the bedding at least
once a week ; and whenever the weather permits, have
it hung out in the open air.
70. The messing of the women, and all mess utensils
and furniture, will be under this officer's general super-
intendence. The immediate charge will rest with the
officers of the several wards.

BRANCHES).
Their Lordships met as usual in Room B (New Houses of
Parliament), Lord Bathurst in the chair.
The case for the promoters of the Bill being concluded,
the opponents were called upon for their case in reply.
Mr. CAnvEra proceeeded to open the case for the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Railway Company, and for Sir John
Maxwel, a landowner, and a long list of other petitioners;
after which the Learned Counsel called several witnesses
(amongst others Sir John Maxwell himself), who gave
evidence to the effect that a greater amount of damage
would be done by the line then would be justified by the
public neeesity ur advantage, and that several other lines
had been projected which would answer the purposes of
railway communication in the districts through which this
line passed better than it would.

the Bill had been proved, the clauses were gone through,

There being no opposition to the Bill, it was declared
proved, and the report was ordered to be brought up.

'AND EOUTIZ WALES LINE.

The Committee on this group (the Marquis of Bredalbane
in the chair) next took these two lines in conjunction, there
being no opposition, except that of Mr. H. Hoskins, a banker,
by whom an opposition is set up on the ground of injury to
agricultural property.
Mr. AUSTIN, Q.C., opened the case for the promoters. The
former of these lines is to run from Chepstow' by Newnham,
to Gloucester. The latter is to run by Cardiff, by Usk, to
Monmouth, with a branch to Chepstow, from Newport.
The Hon. Mr. Tat.soT examined in chief the evidence of
Mr. Brunel, who was called to show the facts stated by Mr.
Austin.
On cross-examination, INIr. Brunel stated that the 'works
on the South Wales line have been contracted for, though
little has as yet been done in the way of actual progress.
Mr. Garrett had laid down a line, but he believed that it was
only for the purpose of private objects, and at any rate, that
line had never come before Parliament.
On re-examination by Mr. TALBOT, Q.C., and Mr.
WIIATELEY, Q.C.. Mr. Brunel stated, that had the other line
been taken it would have been worse in every point of view,
and the severance of property would be much greater. Nut
only would there be more severe cuttings, but the change
would involve not less then four tunnels.
Lir. Hall, a land surveyor at Cirencester of considerable
practice, and who had been employed by four railway com-
panies, stated that the property had come into Mr. Hoskin's
property by the foreclose of a mortgage ; but the property
was merely of an agricultural character.

RACKETS.

An excellent display elthrs manly game was made on
Monday, at the White Bear Racket Court, in the Kenning-
ton-road, before a numerous assemblage of players and ad-
mirers of this active sport. The meeting had the additional
attraction of being a kindly gathering for the benefit of Wm.
James, the well-known player. Several well-contested single
and four-handed matches came off; but the great guns of
the afternoon were the two following :-Ist. A four-handed
game between Messrs. John Pitman and Robert Glenister,
against Messrs. E. Bluck and J. Sowden, in which, after an
admirable contest, resulting in game and game, Messrs.
Bluck and Sowden were scored as conquerors; and, 2d, a
similar competition between Messrs. John Pitman and T.
Morris, v. Mr. Bull and an anonymous gentleman. Some
splendid play was here exhibited, but Messrs. Pitman and
Morris carried off the palm by winning the rub. In the
first-mentioned game, we may mention, that Robert Gle-
nister met with an accident, which prevented him rendering
efficient service to his partner, J. Pitman, and must have in-
fluenced the result. Mr. G. llersvood and Mr. Bluck after-
wards tried a single-handed game, and Mr. Bluck had an
easy victory. Johnny Walker, who was announced to play
a match with Owen Swift, for 201. a side, was present, but
his adversary did not show. After the sports, John Pitman
put forth a challenge to play any man in England a game
single-handed, for 100/. a side.

'PEDESTRIANISM.
PRICESON AND RICHARDS' SEVEN-MILE MATCH.—Fred.
Priceson and J. Richards, of Shepherd's Bush, met on Mon-
day at Bedfont, thirteen miles from London, according to
articles. There was a pretty respectable muster of amateurs
and professionals to witness the trial, which was for 20 soya.
a side, the distance seven measured miles. The ground
walked was that portion of the road commencing on the
hither side of the thirteenth, and ending near the fourteenth
milestone. The men were at the scratch five minutes after
five, and dashed off at a very fair pace, keeping even, and
doing apparently good work for four and a half miles, but
hereabouts Priceson, who had by no means the steam at
high-pressure, !stole away, got a lead, and did as he liked
thereafter. The pace was by no means first-rate, and ulti-
mately Priceson, who had been playing the cat and mouse
game (often a dangerous one) went in a winner by about
100 yards, that, we presume, being, in his opinion, the proper
distance, for we doubt not he could have lengthened it.
The betting was 6 to 4 on Richards shortly before starting;
who certainly exhibited no Qualities justifying such odds.
The time of the seven miles was one hour and three Minutes,
which, after recent performances, will not excite admiration.

BO W-STREET.

An idler in Hungerford-market, named Fordo.' was charged
with exposing indecent prints for sale in that locality.
It was proved by an officer in the employ of the Society
for the Suppression of Vice that the prisoner was offering his
filthy productions to persons of both sexes in the market, and
sold one of them to witness for ld., upon which he gave him
into custody.
It having been proved that the prisoner was in the habit
of dealing in such commodities, Mr.JARDirrE committed him
to hard labour for six weeks.

TOWER HAMLETS.

The good folks of this locality seem to have something
else to think about than the coming election, and Colonel
Fox, who continues to be the only candidate for their suf-
frages, is, to all appearance, perfectly sensible of their desire
to be freed from the excitement of politics. Beyond the
issue of an address, the Gallant Colonel has taken no steps
which could at all render the electorate less indifferent to the
coming event of his re-election for their borough. A former
burgess of Sudbury, now resident in the locality, informs us
that in his opinion a Tower Hamlets election is a very slow
affair. A man, he says, like Colonel Fox, who has neither
flags nor bludgeon-men, placard bearers nor open public-
houses, not even (as he declares in desperation), " not even a
committee-room nor a single canvassing party," does not de-
serve to be elected for any place; and at Sudbury, he confi-
dently states, "they would not have had him at any price."
This gentleman was beard yesterday to assure his friends at
the Mile-end turnpike that "he should write a complaint to
the Carlton on the subject." The returning officer has ap-
pointed Saturday next, at one, r. M., for the election, which
will be held as usual on Stepney-green.

New York at a late hour this evening, taking out 103 pas-

one has been out in this remarkable vessel no less than three

DEATH OF M. HALLETTE.—A letter from Arras
announces the death of M. Hallette, head of the firm of that
name, and inventor of the atmospheric railway system, which
is called after him. He had lately gone to England to
superintend the application of his plan, and it is supposed
that excess of exertion was the immediate cause of his death.
On landing at Boulogne, on his return, he was taken ill, and
though transported to his nephew's residence at Hesdim,
where every possible attention was paid him, he never
rallied, but expired without being conscious of where he had

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP LIU.

The Committee on this group met to-day at twelve o'clock,
in Room No. 26 (Grand Corridor); Sir J. Duckworth in the
chair. They proceeded with hearing evidence on the clauses
of the two canal railway Bills, the
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW UNION
CANAL,

GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND JOHNSTONE
CANAL SALE.
The preambles of both Bills having been already proved,
ctlhaeuwsehs.ole of the sitting was occupied with going through the

ROYAL SANTIAGO MINING COMPANY.he annual
meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at the
offices in Broad-street-buildings, City. J. Robinson, Esq.,
took the chair, near whom were Baron de Goldsmid,
Alderman Thompson, the Lion. Leslie Melville, and Sir
Samuel Scott, Bart. Mr. Dockar, the secretary, read the
report, fom )0-lid?, it appeared that during the half-year
the quantity of copper raised was 2,725 tons, of which 1,737
tons were sold, and produced nett 12,925/. 7s. 10d. The
remaining 988 tons ( except 64 tons daily expected) were in
Swansea, and part thereof were sold on the 24th ult., the
whole being credited for 8,3541. 10s. 7d., which, with the
interest of the reserve fund, made a total of receipts for the
half year of 21,982!. 9s. 6d. The expenditure for the same
periA, including 5191. Is. 10d. for income-tax, was
19,053/. 9s. 10d., leaving a profit of 2,928/. 195. 7d., which,

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.

41. Divine service will be performed by the respec-
tive religious instructors in the morning and afternoon
of every Sunday, Christmas-day, and Good Friday, at
such hours as may be determined on by the superinten-
dent. Prayers are also to be read daily, in the morning
and in the evening, by the resident religious instructor.
42. The religious instructors will have the general
superintendence and interior management of the daily
and Sunday schools, in which they will be aided by the
school-assistants. _ _ _

Vv
43. The religious instructors are to make themselves,
acquainted with the women of their respective flocks in-
dividually, in order that they may be enabled to judge
of the nature of the instruction each may require ;
and, with the same end in view, they will keep a record-
book of the age, occupation, condition, education, char-
acter, and conduct of the women, and of such other par-
ticulars as they may find useful towards the discharge
of their duties. •
44. The fundamental parts of education alone are to
be tenet; and, as the probation of the woman may be
for so short a period as six months, it should be a main
object to teach those to read who cannot already do so.
All such women must receive instruction regularly in
school.
45. The women in hospitals, in separate apartments
and in cells, are to be visited, and inspected daily by
their respective religious instructors, who will enter
their visits in their journals of duties performed.
46. In the performance of these duties much is of
necessity left to the discretion of the religious in-
structors, on whose :zeal and
.prudence every reliance
is placed.
47. The respective religious instructors will issue
books on religion to the women under their care. The
management of the general library will rest with the
resident religious instructor, and the books comprising
it be under his care.

GROUP LXI.

The Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock, in Room No.
26 (Grand Corridor), Sir John Duckworth in the chair, and
proceeded with the consideration of the

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW UNION
CANAL.

The preamble of this Bill having been agreed to yester-
day, the Committee was occupied the whole of the morning
in going through the clauses.
The clauses were not all gone through at half-past three
o'clock, when the Committee postponed the further considera-
tion till to-morrow, and ,roceeded with the evidence re-
specting the other Canal-Railway Bill in the group—namely,
the
GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND JOHNSTONE
CANAL SALE.

The hearing of this evidence occupied the remainder of the
sitting. It pertained merely to the great depreciation of
the canal property by railway competition.

GROUP LXIII.

The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, Mr.
Tatton Egerton in the chair, to go through the clauses of the
NEWRY, VIARRENPOIZqT, AND
',I2OSSTREVOR

Bill. Considerable opposition was offered to the line by Mr.
Hall, across whose pleasure-grounds the line is partially to
pass. Several witnesses
herewe called to show the injury
the propriety
that would be done to prorty, and
of putting in a clause compelling the company to deviate so
as to save Mr. Hall's grounds by encroaching on the Newry
river. It was brought out, in evidence, that Mr. Hall had
promoted a line almost similar to the present in 1836.
The room was now ordered to be cleared.
The CaAIuMAN informed parties, on their re-admission,
that the Committee had rejected the clause tendered by Mr.
Lowndes, counsel for Mr. Hall. They thought the company
should be bound to construct the Parliamentary line,
and were of opinion, that persons placed as Mr. Hall
was, should be handsomely compensated by the company.
Other clauses were then read, and after some amendments
agreed to.
This closed the labours of the Committee.

STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES.
HOUSE 4_;F LORDS.
Their Lordships met, at twelve o'clock, in Room 1 (House
of Lords), Lord Shaftesbury in the chair, and present, Lords
Redesdaie, Winchester, and Hawarden.

IRELAND.
UDICIAL APPOINTMENTS IN IRELAND.

DUBLIN, JULY 6.—Chief Baron Brady, whose ad-
mirable conduct as a judge has won for him the un-
qualified approbation of all parties, yesterday reaeived
an official announcement of his appointment as Lord
Chancellor of Ireland. This selection will give universal
satisfaction.

Mr. Pigot, the former Whig Attorney-General, is to
be the new Chief Baron of the Exchequer, a station for
which he is eminently qualified.
Chief Baron Brady was to have gone the Munster
circuit as one of the judges of assize, and it became
necessary at once that a judge should be appointed in
his place. Yesterday Mr. Greene, who still acts as
Attorney-General, waited upon Mr. Sergeant Stock, the
late member for Cashel, with an intimation that he had
been selected as judge of assize, in consequence of the
acceptance of the office of Lord Chancellor by Chief
Baron Brady. Mr. Stock, vt ho is first sergeant, left
town this morning for Ennis, accompanied by Mr.
Edwin Batteraby, as his register, to attend the-Munster
circuit.

HOUSE OF LORDS

The Loup CHAXCELLOR took his seat upon the Woolsack
at the usual hour.

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
Messengers from the House of Commons brought up certain
Bills.

THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said he had been entrusted
with two petitions from the parishes of Kew and Mortlake, to
present to their Lordships against that part of the Richmond
Railway which went to Kew. All the landed proprietors
were against the Bill, and the petitioners prayed for the in-
terference of the House.

Lord BROLTGHAM presented several petitions (amongst
others one from a gentleman residing in Cornwall) against
the Cornish Railway ; and one from the Remonstrant Presby-
terian Synod of Tyrone (Ireland), praying for the
entire abolition of capital punishment. A Gallant
Friend of his, at present with his regiment in
Ireland, had entrusted him to present a petition against
the Cuckermouth Railway, which ran within 500 yards of
his family seat, Cockermouth Castle, wherein his ancestors
had dwelt upwards of 800 years ago. The petition stated
that there was no necessity for the line running so close to
the House, and he (Lord Brougham) could bear witness to
the truth of that assertion. It would save money to the con-
tractors, but that was all.
