Her Majesty's steam frigate Retribution, Captain
Frederick Warden, arrived at Devonport on Tuesday,
having been, detached from Commodore Martin's squad-
ron for the purpose of conveying troops. &c., to the
Cape of Good Hope. Th© Retribution parted from the
squadron on the morning of the 20th inst. at sea. Com-
modore Martin had extended his cruise this time as far
as Cape Finisterre. The Phaeton still has the advantage
over all the ocher frigates. The Arethusa had, how-
ever, beaten her slightly on one particular point of sail-
ing, but held her position only for a very short time.
The Retribution experienced for the last two or three
days a continuation of tremendous gales, with a very
heavy following sea.
PLYMOUTH, MARCH 26.—Her Majesty's steamer
Encounter and the French steam-frigate Caffarelli were
at Lisbon.

The Retribution has experienced some heavy weather
on her passage home, with wind from south to south-
west, and has proved a good sea boat. It is supposed
she will have to go to Portsmouth for coal, the stock in
the Plymouth depot being short. The Retribution is
expecting orders, and it is supposed she has been sent
home to convey troops to the Cape.
The Avon steam-vessel is ordered to Portsmouth with
seamen for the Prince Regent.
The llamoaze lighter sailed on Monday, with jury
gear and stores for her Majesty's steam-vessel Valorous,
which is ordered to proceed to Woolwich to be fitted with
engines and boilers.

APPOINTMENT.
WOOLWICH, MARCH 26.—Acting Assistant-Surgeon
John Angus, to the Impregnable flag-ship at Devonport.
The Trident steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander
Risk, is to be paid off at this port on Monday next.
Lieutenant Risk'will obtain another vessel immediately,
as he is to be employed in protecting the fisheries on the
coast of Scotland. It is expected he will, select the
Dasher steam-vessel, at present at Sheerness, and fJr-
manly employed on the same service under the command
of Lieutenant Abraham Parks. _ _

The Fearless steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich to-
day, from Sheerness, and will be employed on the sur-
ve)ing service under the command of Captain Bullock.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.-011 Saturday last our mar-
ket, as well as that of Liverpool, was a good deal ex-
cited, and the upward tendency of prices was increased
by the Cambria's advices of the evening before, which
reported a further rise of 1 per cent. per lb. in three
days, at New York, partly in consequence of an
alleged diminution in the receipts at the ports,
together with a narrowing of the esitmates in
the south, and partly of the better accounts which
the Pacific took out from this side on the 22d ult.
01411onday we had the Europa's letters, which stated
that cotton had gained per cent, more in the same
market. No additional advance has resulted from this,
however, in Liverpool; indeed the extreme rates of
Saturday are hardly maintained; but the gain upon
Friday's quotations may be taken at id. In our own
market also, the vivacity of Saturday is in some
degree sobered by statements in these latter ac-
counts clashing with the previous ones, and showing
a further excess, instead of a diminution, in the re-
ceipts. But our spinners take their stand with much
firmness upon an addition of id. to _id. per lb. to the
attainable prices of this day week for most kinds of
yarn, and, in the rest, they are harder to deal
with. The business of the day would be considerable,
if last week's rates were accepted instead of id. ad-
YAWN?, and if id. more would suffice where id. is
required. it is, the transactions are limited, while
the offers are numerous. The eastern merchants are
doing more in 40-inch shirtings, particularly for China,
and rather better prices are paid—as much as 34. per
piece for some kinds. Domestics continue dull, and other
cloths inanimate; but the manufacturers, influenced by
the course of things in cotton and yarn, hold more de-
cidedly to their previous terms.
ROCHDALE, MoeDaY.—The ,demand for flannel con-
tinues very limited, and the merchants are desirous to
purchase at lower prices. In wool there is little change;
the dealers are eager to sell, but hold firm to the prices
of last week.

MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had some buyers
here since our last, and are glad to say that business re-
sulted, although not to the extent usual at this season
of the year. The really chaste and novel styles were
those chiefly sought after; and, although the prices ob-
tained were not such as had been calculated upon, we
have not heard that they were altogether unsatis-
factory. The thrown silk market remains in the same
dull state as reported for some time past. Many hands
are without employment, and stocks of this article must
be materially lessened before production to anYgreat ex-
tent will be ventured upon. There is no alteration in the
raw silk market; quotations being fully supported.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—OUT market today has
been an average one, and a fair business has been done
amongst plaids and checks of the newer patterns, and
peculiar to this season. In blacks, of the thinner and
better qualities, for the spring and summer home trade,
a fair business has been done. The fancy trade, and
trade generally, of the cloth hall, has been rather flat.
The warehouses, during tha week, have been pretty
brisk.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have no improvement to
report this week in the demand for worsted goods, either
in the Piece Hall or in the warehouses. There is,
indeed, no noticeable alteration in the state of the
market. A very general disinclination to purchase
yarns prevails at present, and the spinners are curtailing
their production as much as possible. A little more wool
has changfd hands—their exhausted stocks leading the
spinners to purchase; but there is no change in the quo-
tations.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have bad dull markets at the
Cloth Halls to-day, but a fair quantity of goods continue
to be delivered to order. Stocks keep low, and prices
are firm.
