STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 30.—Our report of Friday
last described this market as having been active
during the week, with a decided advance in prices.
fins week the more unfavourable news from the
Continent of the attitude of France on the Roman
question has had a bad effect on business, discou-
raging shippers very considerably. Yesterday there
was less business done for India, South America,
the Levant, and particularly for the continent.
Home-trade buyers also displayed much unwilling-
ness to operate, and it was difficult and almost
impossible to obtain last week's prices. To-day the
market is again exceedingly quiet. The quotations
for 16's to 32's water twist are fully Id. per lb. lower
than on Friday, with but little business doing.
India mule yarn (40's) is also id. per lb. lower, and
home trade yarns arc fd. to cheaper. The cloth
market is dull, and, though sellers' quotations are
nominally the same as those given at the end of last
week, buyers do notfind much difficulty in supplying
themselves on easier terms. Still there are large
contracts in the hands of manufacturers, and more
firmness prevails than might be expected.
BELFAST, 29th.—Flax—The supplies iu the vari-
ous markets of the provinces during the last week
were about equal to those offered on the preceding
one. In many cases comtnon and medium descrip-
tions were not in active reqnest ; and a reduction on
prices to some extent was established on these qua-
lities.--Yarns—The business transacted on home
account has been limited. Export transactions have
not been extensive. Some large speculative orders
were tendered, at low figures, but not accepted.
Stocks have increased. No change in prices. Linens,
brown handloom—Demand not by any means ac-
tive for diapers and damasks. For light linens fur
bleaching and printing lawns, demand continues
inactive. Not witch doing in heavy linens or cam-
brie handkerchiefs. Powerloom —A
good demand
exists for 5-4th and 6-4th wises roughs. A fair
but not active demand exists for damasks. All other
descriptions of powerloom goods have been in merely
moderate demand. 131eached and finished linens--
Demend on homeaccount has been quiet, any orders
being placed are for immediate requirements. No
change in continental trade. Stocks not much
larger, save in coarse goods.

according to the Opinic
Succeeded in entering Rome
The report required
letters from the Florence
journals (those from Rome ,
leg to these, Garibaldi had
fortified chateau on the west side of - epe close to
above-mentioned gate and to the ..n; In that
case the Garibaldians would be between Civita Vecchia
and Rome, cutting off communication between the Papal
and French troops, and being themselves liable to nn
attack in the rear. It is stated that another
blend of Gariddians bad appeared at Pouts Molie
(flit) ancient Pone Milvius), on the north of the
city. 'rime Diritio announces that Garibaldi hail also
teken Piembino. In that case his troops would have
advanced open the city from nil eneetere, and
probably have united under the wane of Rome. The
contime d interruption of Communications between home

been c'o;ely imirceed.
The Iceplee iommrn d Italia says that 'Menotti Garibaldi,
having beaten the Papal till on the frontier, threw -
himself, sf ter a march of unpd, leled mendacity, upon the
heights of Parioli (close to th4rincio), while his father
marched toward Rome upon the side which was opposed.
The Pontifical artillery of Monte Pinclo and the Cantle of
St. Angelo opened a sustained fire upon Menotti, hut
without causing him any loss, thanks to the elevated posi-
tion which he occupied. Tumults had recommenced in the
city. A superior offic©r of artillery was one of ;he first
to fall. Garibaldi at the matte moment advanctO 'upon

The heights of Parioli fare compoled of some hills, with a

which can be crossed only on the rout. Molle.
On the other side of the position is the Teverne,
which can be crossed only on the two bridges Solara and
Numentano. These three bridges were guarded by strong
detachments of Papal troops, and Menotti must have passed
one of them in order to arrive under the walls of Rome.
He must hare felt full confidence of his father's success on
the other side before he would have taken up so perilous a
position. It was here that during the 13th, 14th, and 15t1e
of June, 1819, the Romans performed prodigies of valour
against the French troops under Oudinot. It is said that
14,000 troops are concentrated inside Rome.
The Romans, loth to fight, have no objection to a little
oafs assassination. Bombs are constantly being exploded
in the streets, slaughtering indiscriminately the passersby.
Of course nothing is gained by such warfare as this, but it
is what the people are used to. It is fair to add that some
correspondents at Rome attribute the employment of these
weapons to the Garibaldians, but there seems no proof of
this. The herald's correspondent, writing on the 27th,
says that the population stand aloof from the revolution,
and the Romans lend assistance to the troops. The Pope
passed in an open carriage through the streets on Satur-
day—a pretty strong proof of his personal courage in the
present state of the city. He received the "King of
Naples," says the same correspondent, who thereby pro-
claims himself a Bonrbonist and an anti-Italian. He says
also that Garibaldi's health is much broken, and that his
followers are very anxious for him under the fatigues of
a second campaign. His younger son, Ricciotti, was with
him.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCES IN ITALY.
The new Ministry, when first formed, was intensely un.
popular. It was believed that General Menabrea would
betray the country to the French. Formidable anti-
Ministerial deffionstrations took place at Turin, Naples,
Ind Milan. In the last-named city a statue of Victor
Emmanuel was thrown down by the people, and they
refused to pay the taxes. In Turin the opposition
was even more
these taxes which bad just been
Toted, The people unanimously
refused
Toted, and the collectors had to fly. In this city the
hostility to the Government is the more bitter on account
of the transference of the capital to Florence. The
Turincse bate the Florentines, and the old Conservative
party in Piedmont have joined the Party of Action in the
hope that Florence may be permanently injured by
another removal of the seat of government. There was
at the time that these letters were written (October 29.) great
reason to fear a revolution in Turin. It was no doubt in
consequence of this threatening state of affairs that Victor
Emmanuel decided on ordering his army to cross the
frontier.

Another cause of bitter complaint against the Govern,
ment is the unsatisfactory state of the army. Reduced to
139,000 men upon paper, it wants 15,000 horses in order
to bring it up to.the peace effPctive.
The Florence correspondent of the Daily Telegraph
peaks of the great pressure to which Victor Emmanuel
was subjected during the Ministerial interregnum. Napo-
leon refused to accept Cialdini's programme of a joint
occupation, and threatened that if the Italian troops
crossed the frontier, not only would his troops enter the
Papal States, but his fleet would blockade Leghorn, Genoa,
and Naples. Cialdini, finding that the King would not
adopt a bold policy, but was intimidated and wavering,
resigned. Itattazzi was sent for, but was equally con-
vinced that strong measures must be taken. Then General
Menabrea was called upon to form a Ministry, and he did
so only on the express understanding that if the French
troops landed at Civita Vecchia the Italian troops should
enter the Papal States.
FRANCE AND ITALY.
The semi-official Etendard says " Private informa•
tion enables ns to state that the entry of the Italian
troops (into the Papal States) has been made without
the consent of France. Of course we cannot in any
way anticipate the rcs3lutions which the French Govern.
ment will make in the present grave crisis, especially
as it is clear that up to the present moment combined
action, demanded incessantly by Italy, has been repelled
by France, contrary to the assertions of several journals."
The same paper points out that the Italian troops have
invaded the Papal States from every point, and that the
Papal troops at the time of writing occupied only Rome
and Civita Vecchia. In a leading article, the Etendard
declines to commit itself by speculations or prophecies.
It sees only that Garibaldi is a new European Power, and
has declared war against France ; and further, that the
independence of the Holy See has become a European
question, and that the Great Powers are bound to main,
tame that independence.

THE UNITED STATES.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the Times laments
the continued depression of trade, which has not been
relieved since the elections, as was expected. There can
now be no revival for the fall season, and the only persons
who are at all cheerful are the shipowners, who find a
considerable demand for shipping in consequence of the
large exhorts of corn. The trouble about the forged 7-30
notes continues, and is seriously affecting the value of
Government securities. There are grave reasons for sus-
pecting the complicity of some Treasury officials in the
fraud. The amount of the fradulent issues is not known.
The extreme Radicals, such as Stevens and Ashley,
still cling to their nigrophile policy; but the moderate
Liberals, alarmed at the defeat which has overtaken
them in the recent elections, are abandoning negro
suffrage and the impeachment of the President, and are
doing their best to induce General Grant to run for the
Presidency. Ho still keeps silent, and no one knows to
which party he will commit himself, or if he will commit
himself to any. The Democrats are once more thinking
of AiTicllan, who was so woefully beaten two years
ago. A grand dinner is to be given to him on his return

A GERMAN UNIVERSITY.
A correspondent, writing from Halle, describes the uni-
versity in that town. Its most noticeable professors aro
the aged Tholuck and Julius Muller. The first is almost
blind, but, considering that be was supposed to be at
death's door when 20 years old, he looks wonderfully well
for a man of 63. He has been ascetically careful of his
diet and the general treatment of his body ; ho constantly
observes his clock-work distribution of time for literary
labour. Between eleven and twelve in the morning he
walks up and down the short, covered promenade in his
garden. Here, in his only idle hour, he examines theo-
logical students preparatory to orders, transacts business
with all who have accounts to settle, receives calls from men
who come to consult him on important ecclesiastical ques-
tions, and renews acquaintanceship with the old students
whom manymiles and yearshave kept aloof from hispresenee.
Muller is more bent, has donned the skull-cap on account
of baldness, awl reads with less vigour, and in a thicker
and weaker voice, in which the nose seems to play as
important a part as the tongue. Bat there is the mike
pleasant face as before, and all accounts agree that, with
the exception of a slight loss of memory, Mailer's mind is
as strong as ever. His audience consisted of about seventy-
five students, two of whom smoked cigars during the
whole of the lecture. The lecturer did not take any notice
of it, nor did any of the students ; it seemed to be a coin.
mon occurrence. Whenever the professor was not under.
stood, a loud hiss here and there from the students was a
signal for repetition. Miller always repeated when thus
invited. There at present 840 students in the University,
356 being in the theological department, 45 in the la.',
108 in the medical, and 312 in the philosophical.
