AMERICAN NE WS.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, 7, A AL
The 'United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Cap-
tain C =stock, has just arrived, bringing ninety
passer igers, 4,000/. in specie, and three days' later
advic es from New York, which port she left on the
11th inst.

The Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins, Com-
ma nder, with mails of the 26th ultimo, arrived at
N aw York on the morning of the 10th inst.
The steam-ship Humboldt, Lines, Commander,
f tom Cowes, arrived at New York on the evening of
';be Bth inst.

The Maryland Mining Company had failed, and
several minor banks had suspended payment.
A very destructive gale had swept over the coast
of Nova Scotia, by which nearly 100 fishing and other
vessels were driven ashore or sunk, and upwards of
300 lives lost.

Lord Elgin had been unable to form a Ministry up
to our latest advices.

Mr. Owen, the Amerian Consul at Havannah, had
been dismissed.
Jenny Lind was to commence her musical tour
at Buffalo on the 15th instant. Catherine Hayes
was giving concerts in New York to crowded au-
diences.

The Hudson River Railroad, from New York to
Albany, was opened throughout on the Bth inst.
A alight change for the better is reported in mone-
tary affairs in New York. During the few days
previous to the steamer sailing, money had become
easier, and a gradual improvement in business was
looked for. Stocks and securities were steady.
The breadstuffs market was inactive; prices un-
altered

The cotton market continued in a depressed con-
dition. Sales could not be made except at a reduc-
tion, which holders generally had submitted to.
This was principally owing to the advices received
by the Asia, as well as by the increased estimates of
the coming crop. The receipts at the port also were
heavy. New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair,
10/c. to 101 c. per lb.; Uplands and Florida, mid.
fair to fair, 9ic. to
The leading features in freights and provisions are
unchanged.
There was a very quiet market in exchange. On

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Ilicnchester Guardian of thin day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The declining tendency
of prices, to which we have, of late, had to make con-
tinual reference, has proceeded somewhat further to-
day in some articles, whilst, in the rest, it has be-
come at least more decided. Yarns for home manu-
facture, whether in the cop or the warp, and of
course the same articles for exportation, are id. per
lb. lower than they were a week ago. Reeled water
twist, prepared for the German market, has, in the
same time, lost /d. per lb.: mule hardly so
much. These spinnings, particularly the former,
have been, for some time back, relatively dear. In
India yarns, which have been more depressed than
other kinds, there is no quotable change ; but, by
yielding to the attainable rates of last week, which
were then generally declined, some spinners have suc-
ceeded in effecting sales. For goods of most descrip•
tions prices are accepted which were declined last
week ; still, however, it is difficult to effect sales,
although some increase of business is observable in
other fabrics as well as in those adapted for India,
which are now taken more freely at the extremely
low prices to which they have fallen. The advices
by the Overland Mail report a considerable amount of
business in our fabrics, both at Bombay and Calcutta,
though prices were still yielding under the pressure of
the supplies, and of the apprehension caused by the
late failures among the native dealers.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The piece market continues
very flat, and some of the manufacturers have already
begun to work short time. This mild state of the
weather at this time of the year has a considerable
influence upon the flannel market. The price of wool
is much the same as that of last week, but there is
very little doing.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been a better at-
tendance of merchants in our piece hall to-day than
for many weeks past; but they were rather as lookers-
on than as purchasers. Rather more sales, however,
were effected in some sorts of fancy goods. 'We cannot
note any improvement in the demand for yarns; and
sales, at the current rates, entail so heavy a loss, that
the spinners are daily producing less and less. It is
the general expectation that they will not light up.
Long wools are quiet, without any change in the
quotations. Short wools are scarce, and somewhat
dearer.

HUDDERSrIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been no
alteration of importance in the market to-day. In
low woollens suitable for winter wear, a slight im-
provement has been observable in the demand ; but
goods of medium and superior quality have been of
slow sale. The flatness of the markets begins to be
observable amongst the manufacturers, some of them
having slightly reduced the hours of production.
Wool is also slow of sale in to-day's market.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—NO new feature to notice in
the woollen trade since last week. The markets
have again been dull, neither is there much doing to
order. Many of the manufacturers are curtailing
their operations, so that stocks keep in moderate com-
pass, and prices are firm. Business is quiet in the
warehouses.
