WEDNESDAY EVENING,

FRANCE.
The Dads has the following on the last accounts
from Algiers :
" The last accounts from Algeria lead us to hope that
the peace which our colony has for some years en •
joyed will not be seriously disturbed, and that the
expedition of Djijelli will be accomplished without
any material difficulty. Tranquillity is re-establishing
itself in the Valley of the Oued Sahel, on the confines
of Kabylia. Our troops, which have been dispatched
to those points where danger was apprehended, have
been recalled without having met with attacks
or insults. The Dervish Ben Baghela, one of those agi-
tators whose power is becoming every day weaker
among the Mussulman population, does not meet with
the sympathies on which he had reckoned among the
tribes with whom he has been peregrinating. The
Zouvas themselves—that is to say, the inhabitants of
Great Kabylia, who have always shown the greatest
hostility to the domination of the French—fear
to engage in an open struggle against our
arms. General Blangini, who had removed his head-
quarters to Aumale, has been able, without inconveni-
ence, to return to Budah, where he had before held his
command. The work which the Government pursues
at this moment on all points of the Algerian territory
is the establishment of the stations for the native chiefs.
Those houses, which are being rapidly constructed by
the indefatigable activity of our soldiers, are given up
to the allied native forces as fast as they are finished,
and tend materially to the security of the country
around them. Whilst agitation is thus disap-
pearing from the Oued Sahel, tranquillity is making
great progress on our western frontiers, so long dis-
turbed by the turbulent population of Morocco, It is
impossible at the present time to foresee exactly what
resistance our expedition on the side of Djijelli may
meet with. Our army will, perhaps, find in the
midst of these mountains difficulties, the surmounting
of which will give it fresh claims to our sympathy,
but no doubts can be entertained that every obstacle
will be overcome through its courage and perse-
verance. General Pelissier, who has just been called by,
a decree of the Executive Government to the Govern-
ment of Algeria, will, it is said, proceed in person to
Djijelli, where he will organize the command of the
country subdaed by the troops under General de St.
Armand. We may now say, that, according to all pro-
bability, the question of Little Kabylia will be defini.
tively settled in a short space of time, and will leave
completely independent the solution which France may
wish one day to give to all the other questions raised by
its conquest."

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We learn from the
American advices that the excess in the receipts at
the ports had reached 210,000 bales, being an in-
crease of 20,000 in the last week ; and that partly
from this cause, and partly in consequence of the
declining tendency of prices here, the New York
market had given way another cent per lb., while
the latest accounts from New Orleans and Mobile
show that the southern holders have been yield-
ing also. It appears, too, that the statements
with which we were favoured by the previous packet,
about damage to the next crop from frost, rains, and
floods, are materially qualified, indeed, to a great ex-
tent discredited, by the silence of some letters from the
districts referred to, and by the admission of others
that little or no injury had been done. The advices
have produced a panic in Liverpool. Various
rumours have been afloat about the difficulties
of some of the holders of cotton, and the
pressure there is to realise, in order to meet
the bills approaching to maturity. However
this may be, there is a decline in American descrip-
tions of id. to per lb. The American accounts,
aided by what has ensued in Liverpool, have given a
serious shock to that degree of confidence in what
appeared tolerably safe—as they certainly were
greatly reduced—prices, which led to the large
operations in yarns and goods referred to in our last
week's report. Both spinners and manufacturers
have manifested an increased anxiety to sell; while
the buyers, sickened at finding themselves disap-
pointed in what they had considered cheap pur-
chases, have either refused to buy at all, or else
have demanded a further concession equal to that in
cotton. Prices have again, therefore, become merely
nominal,, and their seemingly near adjustment appears
to be deferred. The fall from the rates of December
is now very great ; but what it is cannot be stated
with anything like accuracy. Whether it will pro-
ceed much further, is the perplexing question; as
usual, we may be sure that mere temporary feeling
will at last be found to have carried it considerably
beyond what was required by permanent causes ;
just in the same way as any material rise is always
pushed beyond a warrantable limit.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—To-day has been one of the
dullest markets we have bad this year in pieces. There
has been a thin attendance of buyers, and those who
have been present have evinced no disposition to pur-
chase. There has been IIUJe doing iu wool, but former
prices have been fully maintained.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.— Our Piece Hall has been
but slenderly attended by buyers to-day, and the
inquiry for worsted goods is very limited. In the
absence of orders for the continent, the yarn trade
remains in a languid condition. The transactions in
wool are not extensive, and the quotations have not
undergone any change.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY,III our Cloth-hall, a
little more business has been done; mixture crapes
and black doeskins have been inquired for, and sales
generally effected in qualities from about 2s. to 3s.
per yard. The warehouses have been rather flat
during the week, and the American trade is quiet at
present. In wools not much has been done.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market to-day has been a
quiet one, and the woollen trade generally continues
without change. Stocks are not heavy, and prices
are firmer.

GREAT FOOT-RACE FOR £2OO.
The great pedestrian match of four miles, between
John Tetlow, of Oldham, and Thomas Hayes, of Hal-
shaw Moor, two of the most celebrated runners of the
day, came off on Monday last, over the Aintree race-
course, Liverpool, for 1001. a side; and created intense
interest among the Lancashire pedestrian partisans,
with whom the two men were great favourites. Hayes
has twice defeated Tetlow, but the partisans of
the latter were anxious to give him another trial to
redeem his lost laurels, and a fresh match was made on
condition that Hayes should give him a start of 100
yards, which was agreed upon. The men underwent a
rigid course of training, on the ratification of the match
five weeks since, and both showed in the best possible
condition, confident of their own prowess to achieve a
victory. The Sefton Arms was head-quarters, and
for some time previous to the race a large assem-
blage of sporting men from Manchester, Shef-
field, Leeds, Preston, Oldham, Wigan, Chester,
Liverpool, Stockport, Bury, and other towns were con-
gregated together, among whom some spirited betting
took place at 5t04 on Hayes. The East Lancashire
Railway Company ran two special trains from Liver-
pool, which brought in a large influx of spectators,
and towards half-past two o'clock the concourse of
people was immense. About that time the men re-
paired to the course, where all preliminaries were
soon adjusted and preparations at once made to effect
the start. Hayes, who is a well made and muscular
man, of about 24 years of age, and standing somewhere
about sft. 4in. in height, looked in blooming condition,
and 6 to 4 was then frequently invested on him. Tetlow
is about seven years his senior, of more robust make, and
in altitude is sft. 6i in. ; he was also in excellent trim. As
the pistol was fired at five minutes to three, they both
responded to the mandate at the same instant, and went
away at a splendid pace, starting from the top of the
back-stretch beyond the stable-turn, the run from thence
to the canal side being on the descent. Here Hayes
gained a trifle, about twenty yards or so, upon his ad-
versary. but making the bridge turn for the commence.
ment of the straight length (forming a slight rise of
nearly 1,000 feet) he could not get nearer to Tetlow,
who passed the Grand Stand (which was thrown open
for the occasion by Mr. Tophaua) in pretty form,
making very strong running, and with a smile playing
upon his countenance, passing the judge's chair 15 se-
conds before his younger antagonist, the time then
being exactly five minutes from the start. Making the
upper turn beyond the stand, Tetlow appeared to be leav-
ing his opponent somewhat, and, on regaining the back
stretch, had soon made up his lost ground, and increased
his lead to seven score yards about half way down the de-
scent, Haves tiring. The betting now veered round, and
the friends of the favourite were not to be found so eager in
laying the odds, and refused to bet even money. As the
pedestrians repassed the judge's chair, the time then
being seven minutes past three o'clock, the favourite
(Hayes) was unmistakeably a beaten man, for he was
Lull 160 yards rearward, " waddling like a duck,"
and his arms dropping gradually down, losing
ground at every stride, and showing every
symptom of defeat; and losing considerably at
the stable-turn (his adversary continuing at a
splendid pace), he was fully 250 yards astern at the com-
mencement of the third round. Finding himself so much
behind, and dead beaten, he resigned the contest a few
yards beyond there, permitting Tetlow to run home
alone, which be did at a tiring pace, and accomplishing
the four miles in exactly 19 min. 33 sacs.

HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK.
The Official Report says :—The present state of
public health in the metropolis is far from being satis-
factory. In the preceding week, though there still
appeared an excess above the average, the mortality
had declined to 994 deaths ; but it will be seen that the
number in the week ending last Saturday has again
risen to 1,041. Taking corresponding weeks of the
ten years 1841-50, it is found that the lowest number
of deaths was 761 ; and that the mortality, which
only in one instance exceeded 1,000, averaged 870.
This average, if raised according to supposed rate of
increase in the population,
becomes 949 ; compared

metropolitan districts. In the west districts the deaths
particulocality,
registered last week are 168) while the average '
(without correction for increase of population) is 134 ;
in the northern the number is 202,;the average being
167 i in the central it is 181, the average being 157 ;

r

ten disposed of, in the eastern, 216, the average being 181 ; and in
the south it is 274, while ;he average Is 232. The
present return, as compared with that of the previous
week, shows an increase chefly in the zymotic or epi-
demic class of diseases. lleasles numbered 31 fatal
cases in the week ending Nay 3d, last week it counted
41 ; hooping-cough again becomes severe, and has
risen in the two weeks fron 57 deaths to 72 ; diar-
rhoea and dysentery have increased from 9 to 25 ;
typhus from 25 to 43. On the other hand, small-
pox, which destroyed 14 persons in the previous
week, was fatal to 10 in tie last ; and influenza has
declined from 11 to 6. Seven deaths, 4of which are
amung infants, are ascribed in this return to syphilitic
disease. The total number of deaths included in the
zymotic class of diseases is 233 ; while the corrected
average is 178. The cases enumerated under the head
of " diseases of the resp'ratory organs," amount to
157, while the corrected average is 143. But the six
diseases which constitute the latter class scarcely
exceed in their aggregate fatality the amount
caused by phthisis alone ; fur this complaint destroyed
143 lives, a number which though not more than
the usual amount, is far greater than the highest found
under other heads in the list of fatal causes. A great
increase is observable in the deaths registered last week
of young persons ; for the number of children who
died under the age of 15 years rose from 443 in the
previous week to 511 in the last, while the corrected
average is 425. A smaller increase is observed
generally among persons in various stages of life. In
the last week, the births of 791 boys, and 781 girls,
in all 1,572 children, were registered. The average
of six corresponding weeks in the years 1845.50 was
1,341.
