CITY, Two o'CLooK.

The advices received this morning from the
manufacturing districts represent that considerable
improvement has taken place in the demand for
most descriptions of goods suitable for the autumn.
At Manchester there has been a good inquiry for
goods for the Indian, German, and Levant mar-
kets, as well as for the home trade. The de-
mand for yarns has improved, and prices have ad-
vanced id. per lb. At Leeds a consider-
able improvement has taken place in the
woollen trade, and the manufacturers are fully en-
gaged on tolerably large orders for the fall trade.
In the various cloth halls a large business has been
done, and prices are exceedingly firm. At Brad-
ford the worsted trade is firm, and improved rates
are current for all qualities. In piece goods a fair
amount of business has bean done, and foreign
orders have been issued to some extent. Prices of
all descriptions of goods continue steady. The
woollen trade of. Huddersfield has been steady,
and the manufacturers generally are fully
employed, a moderate amount of e rd, is hav-
ing been received both for home use end for
exportation. The lace and hosiery trades at Not-
tingham and Leicester have coetinued gradually to
improve, both American and home buyers having
been in the market. Yarns are at full rates, with
an upward tendency. The lion trade of South Staf-
fordshire continues inactive, and prices have ex-
hibited a downward tendency ; a great number of
furnaces are out of blast and others only in partial
operation. At Birmingham the manufacturing
trades of the district are flat. At Sheffield and
Wolverhampton the hardware trade of the districts
have exhibited little alteration.
Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton
Market on Se-tura:iv itLci prices
of ad descriptions were fully maintained. The
sales were estimated at 12,000 bales, 2,000 of
which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by
the exporters. The Railway Share Market pre-
sented a steady appearance, and quotations were
without any material alteration.
A slight diminution has taken place in the de-
mand for discount, the supply of paper offered for
negotiation is smaller, and the market altogether
shows that the effect of the payments of the 4th of
the month has abated. There is reason to believe
that a further movement in this respect
Would have occurred had it not been for the ac-
commodation required to arrange the Consol account
on the Bth inst. and the Indian Loan instalment on
the 9th. As it is, however, the demand is steady
and not pressing, while the terms, viz., about 3 per
cent., must be regarded as exceedingly reasonable
and moderate. While that quotation is maintained
in Lombard-street, the Bank will be enabled to se-
cure a large proportion of discount business, and it is
understood that the applications there are still very
numerous. The engagements of the 4th are alleged
to have been well met, and no serious cases of
failure are reported.
On Saturday about 70,000/. in gold was taken
from the Bank for transmission to France.
_ The arrivals announced to-day include the
Tagus, from Gibraltar, with 5,7331., and the Asia,
item America,
with 12,4701. in specie.
latest According to the advices received to-day, the
quotation of exchange at New York for 60
days' bills drawn upon London, is 1091, a point
that is not likely to lead to any large shipments of
gold. The tendency, however, was favourable,
in the event of a further slight advance, the
Movement may become important.
very small amount of business has been recorded
Up to this hour in the market for public securi-
ties, which still appear dull and heavy. Beyond
a few operations presumed to be in connexion with
the approaching settlement there is nothing to en-
liven the market, which will probably remain in the
same unsettled condition until the liquidation is

ment of their liberty. The seventh director, Mr. Sta-
pleton, was discharged upon payment of a nominal fine,
and the eighth defendant, the tnanairer, still remains in
the Queen's Bench Prison. The influence exercised in
favour of Mr. Owen was chiefly by large bodies of reli-
gious denominations. The next and more recent case is
that of Mr. Humphrey Brown, whose friends have ter
some weeks past been most diligently exerting them-
selves in his favour. Mr. Brown has been, since his
imprisonment, attacked with 2. n old complaint producing
