STATE OF TRADE.--3TANCIIESTER, Tuesday.—The
market opens buoyantly, and the business of the day
will be large, if the increased prices demanded by pro-
ducers do not impede the execution of orders in the
hands of buyers. The firrunes4 cf the Liverpool cotton
market, and the larger transactions of the past few days,
tend to confirm the tone of this market.

PORTIN•AL—By the arrival of the steam-ship Bra-
ganzl, we learn that the U 'use of Deputies has shown
great promptness in approving of the bills introduced by
the new Ministers. They have, however, not yet brought
forward any substitution for M. Fontes' measure respect-
ing the Foreign Bondholders. There were no English
ships of war in the port, but the Duke of Wellington was
expected daily.
MURDER AT MaxemEsTEtt.—T WO men, named James
and Andrew Bracken, were on Monday last placed be-
fore the magistrates at Manchester charged with killing
a man named Bates. The two men were fighting in a
state of intoxication, and it appears that Bates inter-
fered, when Andrew Bracken knocked him down, and
James violently kicked him. Tney were remanded. An
inquest has been held yesterday on the body, and a ver-
dict of wilful murder returned.
BALFE.—This distinguished musician has an-
nounced his benefit at Drury-lane Theatre on Monday
next. The entertainments are various, the opera of the
13oheigiosn fie/ commencing the evening ; to be followed
by a concert, at which several first•class artistes will as-
si it, including Ernest, Patti, Osborn, and Arabella
Goddard ; the scheme terminating with an act of the
Trovatore.

THEATRE-ROYAL COVENT-GARDEN.—The whole of the
valuable English music in score, which has cost the pro-
prietors many thousand pounds, Bevel from the late fire
from having been removed to the old box-office when the
Italian Company took possession of the theatre, is, we
perceive, to be submitted to the hammer by Messrs.
Robins, at their auction rooms, to-morrow, together
with the prompt books, play bills, and not the least
curi me in the cillection of pay-ledgers, from 1776 to
1826, with the autograph receipts of the most eminent
actors and actresses during those periods, with their re-
epontive salaries.
THE DIVISION OP LAST NIIHT.—The cause of the
three members not voting in the usual way was this :
Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Trail], and Mr. Jackson were
in the Members' Gallery, on the right of the chair.
Tbey came down into the lobby of the house to vote
against Mr. Moore's motion, and found the doors of the
division lobby closed. They, therefore, recorded their
votes at the table.
ENGLAND AND AMERICA.—We have great gratifica-
tion in being able to announce that negotiations be-
tween England and the United States, with a view to
the settlement of the diff,rences unfortunately existing
between the two countries, were resumed on Monday
last ; and that, too, under circumstances which justify
the belief that matters are already in a fair train towards
an amicable adjustment of the points at issue between
our Government and that of the United States. —Morn-

creasing prosperity of this p-rt appears in tho statistical
