TRADITIONS FROM REMOTE PERIODS THROUGH
FEW HANDS —Again in 1784, on a visit to my grandfather
in the county of Limerick, during a school vacation. I heard
him then, in his 88th year, say, that in 1714, on the acces-
sion to the British throne of the present Royal dynasty, he
heard in Cork, where he was at school, a conversation be-
tween several gentlemen on this change in the reigning fa-
mily, when one of them, a Mr. Martin, said that he was
born the Same day as Charles 11., on the 29th of May, 1631,
and was present at the execution of Charles 1., the 29th of
January, 1649.
His family then resided in London, where
he joined Cromwell's Ironsides, and thence accompanied
them to Ireland. The transfer to him of some forfeited pro-
perty naturally induced him to settle there. Thut., between
me and the eye-witness of the regicidal Catitatrophe, cooly pee

LONDON,

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Tl7EBDAY.—Relieved from the mo-
netary pressure which was lately forcing down the
price of cotton, the Liverpool mark-t has been regain-
ing some degree of firmness during the last week or
two. The sales of yesterday were 10,000 bales, in.
eluding 4,000 on speculation ; prices generally being
rather higher—in many instances id. per lb.—than
those of Friday last, making the recovery about id.
in the fortnight. Although there is no dis-
position amongst the buyers in this place
to go along with any such movement as might
easily be excited among our neighbours, and although
the spinners are prepared to abstain from purchasing,
if need be, and rest upon their now ample supplies,
yet the improving tendency in the raw material exer-
cises a certain degree of influence upon our very bare
market, slightly affecting the buyers, as well as the
sellers, so as to aid the large existing demand in im-
parting a slow yet perceptible upward bias to the
prices of our productions. Mainly from such demand,
we have bad a pretty general hardening to-day in the
prices of yarns. Warps have gained a clear per
pound, and in pin-cop weft there is a little advantage
on the side of the producer. The accounts received
this morning from Germany show an improving state
of trade, which is enabling the manufacturers to lessen
their stocks ; and the consequence is, that the mer-
chants are more inclined to operate him they were ;
and water twist, in th- bundle, cannot be had at the
rates of last week. In goods there continues to be a
steady demand for long cloths, T's, and domestics ;
also tor 36-inch and light jth printers; while the
finer ithe are beginning-to be wanted. But goods
and yarns adapted to the Indian trade have been neg-
lected, yet unchanged in price. The letters by the
overland mail Mate that the sales of piece goods had
been extensive at Calcutta, but, from the pressure of
exceedingly heavy imports, ruinously low prices had
been submitted to—ruinous compared with those at
which they were sent out, though fair, looking at
what they may now be replaced for. In China trade
is seriously threatened by political disturbances.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have bad another slack
day in our piece hall, and the warehouses are by no
means busy. In yarns and long wool we cannot
quote any alteration ; and the only article which can
be said to manifest any firmness is short wool, the
production of which is materially curtailed.
ROCHDALE, MOADAY.—We have had a fair busi-
ness doing in flannels, notwithstanding the wakes are
held to-day, when all the mills and factories are stand-
ing, and a number of buyers generally absent them-
selves. The manufacturers have purchased wool very
sparingly, and the dealers have held out for good
prices.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.-0111' manufactured
goods trade remains in an extremely unsatisfactory
state ; the over-wrought anticipation indulged in by
our manufacturers during the last few months of a good
demand for spring goods, has proved so delusive that
it has produced the effect of suspending for a time the
preparations which usually at this period are being
vigorously pushed on for the autumnal trade. In
thrown silk very little is doing ; the few transactions
taking place are simply for present and urgent re-
quirements, but have no bearing whatever on the
general tone of the matket, which at preseat, as re-
gards prices, is good.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market to- day
has been a slight improvement upon last Tuesday.
Still there has not been that activity and briskness in
the transactions that is customary at this period of
the year, when the trade is considered to be in a
healthy state. The goods in demaed are of a low
quality, and such as will leave neither manufacturer
and merchant any large amount of remuneration or
profit. A fair business has been done in the wool
warehouses, at improved prices.
LEEDS, TIIESDAY.—Tbe markets at the cloth halls
to-day have been rather dull, but on Saturday last a
fair business was done. The manufacturers are pretty
well employed, and prices continue. very firm. Busi•
news in the warehouses is . quiet, compared with the
last few weeks.
