(From the Devonport Telegraph.)
DEVONPORT, FEB. 9.—The reports current during
the week, of the fitting of several ships of war for the Me..
diterrane tn, are without foundation. The Canopus, 84,
Cornwallis, 74, Minden, 74, Portland, 52, Endymion,
50, and Forte, 44, are in a prepared state for commission-
ing, if wanted, but no order has been received to bring
either of those vessels forward for active service. The
masts of the Canopus being defective, are ordered to he
taken out : and those of the Bombay substituted, which
order was probably the foundation of the report alluded to.
His Majesty's ship Vernon, 50, Captain Sir P. A.
Westphil, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George
Cockburn, having met with foul winds and severe weather,
has been forced back into Torbay, where she arrived on
Saturday last, and still remains. We understand the
Vernon shipped some heavy seas, which washed her cabins,
but the Vice-Admiral will proceed fur the West Indies
with the first favourable wind.

Vice-Admiral Sir Richard Key, Birt., is now said to
be likely to succeed Vice-Admiral Sir J. Beresford, in
command of the Medway, in July next.
Remaining in Hamoaze—Sin Josef, Comus, Pidgeon,
Confiance and Carron steamers, and Diligence naval
transport. In the Sound—Rover.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)

LEEDS.-000(18 in the White Cloth-hall have not gone
off so freely the last fortnight, but the coloured market for
cloths continues good. The stock of woollens is getting
very low, although the manufacturers, it is said, are not
obtaining prices to cover the advance on the raw material.
We also notice an advance in the dying of wool blue, and
of stuff goods in most colours.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.—A good deal of cloth was
sold on Tuesday last; the market may be truly said to
have been brisk. The most inveterate croaker cannot deny
this. As to the profits, we of course know nothing about
them, whether they improve or not, but we should sup-
pose that sensible men will not sell without profit, when
the deurmd is brisk and wool advancing in price.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET —The flannel market
on Monday last was somewhat brisker than usual ; the
finest qualities went off better than for some months past.
Low goods continue to be much sought after, and in seve-
ral instances an advance was realized. Middling sorts re-
main rather dull ; but, on the whole, a great deal of busi-
ness was done.
LANCASHIRE.—Tbe calico and silk printing is more
brisk at Middleton at the present time than it has been for
the last ten years. The silk weaving at Middleton, Fails-
worth, and the neighbouring towns, for several miles
round Manchester, is also very brisk. Cotton weavers
are much in request, though the number of power-looms in
Hyde, Duckinfieltl, S.ayley-bridge, and Ashton amounts at
present to at least 11,000, and preparations are making fur
2,000 more, which will be at work in a short time. The
cotton factories at Rochdale, Heywood, Bury, and other
places, are working full time, and preparations are making
for the building of new factories next spring. Woollen
weaving at Rochdale is still brisk. Wages in all these
branches continue low, but there is an expectation of some
imprnvement.

BOLTON.—The demand for cotton goods still continues
unabated, and on Monday last a small advance in the
wages for weaving was made by some houses i❑ Bolton.
WicAN.—Trade seems to be rather brisker in this town
and neighbourhood. Cambrics are much wanted, at an
advance of 6d. per piece to the weaver. Some fabrics of
calicoes, cotton bottoms, &c., have also been advanced tid.
per piece during the past week.

KINGIIORN.—The spinning-mills here are
now fully employed, and in consequence the wages of the
spinners and flax-dressers have experienced a considerable
rise.—Edinburgh Paper.

It is now stated that whoever may be elevated
to the vacant See of Waterford will have hut 3,0001. a year
from its revenues.—Limerick Chronicle.
