STATE OF TRADE.

- ---
MAN C HESTER, Aug. 16.—The animation which
showed itself in this market earlier in the week has
entirely disappeared to-day, and business has been
quiet, with weaker prices. Sellers of shipping yarns
say business has assumed a muchier totta dis-
ne, the
constantly received bad accounts m Calcu
couraging operations. Buyers for that quarter are
entirely out of the market, and prices, without
being nominally lower, are somewhat weaker. Tho
market for home trade yarns is quieter to-day, and
in prices it may be said -id. out of the id. advance
obtained on Tuesday has been lost. In cloths w
ofe
have had a very subdued tone. The failure
Messrs. Nicholls and Ashton, spinners and manu-
facturers at Lower Darwen, with liabilities to the
extent of £35,000 to £40,000, has had more effect
upon the market than a failure for such an amount
might hare been expected to produce. doubtothe news coming when bad cloth accounts aro to
hand from Calcutta, which speak of failures in the
bazaars, with enormous stocks, has been calculated
to affect people more deepl th
y an it otherwise might.
The telegram also speaks of a depressed market and

to-day under these circumstances has become
very
unsettled, and for such sales as
they madeebuyers have had to accept lower quotations. There
and
is no briskness in business for any quarter,
prices are drooping.
CARDIFF, 15.—The steam coal trade both at the
haveexportsbeenofwhich,
nlast
such good customers as usual. The h
mouth reach 160,766 tons, being a decrease of 7,458
tons as compared. with the corresponding month of
last year, the falling off being principally observable
in the European consumption. In the Aberdare
Valley the steam coal collieries are indifferently
employed, and the stoppage of the Aberaman works
has been the cause of a large amount of distress.
Coastwise, the shipments in July were 85,465 tons,
against 77,987 tons in the corresponding month of
1866. West of England and Irish houses aro tak-
ing advantage of the present low rates of freight to
increase their supplies. The iron trade is perhaps
on the whole steadier, and makers are looking for-
ward to an accession of rail orders :Is the result of
the improvement which has taken place in railway
securities. Quotations foe tin plates are fairly
maintained, and the works are well employed.
LEICESTER, 16ch.—There is a fair business
absence
doing
in all branches of the staple trade, but an
of speculative feeling. 11rools present a more cheer-
ful appearance, there is ralher more mos
make ving off than
of late, while the improved inquirie

shown by both staplers and farmers. What little
change has taken place in prices is in favour of
sellers. Manufacturers are toleriasTblihnyeobrpuelsasylantaiivnfoaorenstuotesrat

Supreme Court itself affords them no protec-
tion, since we find that the Attorney-Ge-
neral has received complaints that the mili-
tary commander at Washington obstructs
the serving of civil processes 'issued by Chief Jus-
tice CHASE. In fa3t the whole system throughout
the South is based on the same principle, the object
being to crush all independence out of the white
population.
The Mexican news, which comes through Florence,
is r,to the effect that the Diplomatic. Body intend
leaving Mexico and proceeding to Washington to
await the instructions of their respective Govern-
ments. JUAREZ has many difficulties to contend
against, since LAZADA defies him, and it is re-
ported that MARQUEZ, the brother of Aln:Amos,
and other generals, are organising a large force in
the mountains. An officer of the United States
navy has gone to the capital to demand, it is said,
the person of SANTA ANNA, who is now reported to
be alive, and in captivity at Campeachy.

Among the constant proofs of the general gre
and selfishness of the money-getting world tha•
thrust themselves unpleasantly upon the attention
it is gratifying to meet, as we sometimes do, with
evidences of large-hearted generosity and public
spirit. We have in the records of to-day two such
instances, reflecting honour on our countrymen,
and showing that England has still among her
men of business individuals with whom the
acquisition of money is only regarded es a
means of benefiting their. fellow-creatures.
It is just ten years ago since Sir FRANCIS CROSSLEY
presented a People's Park to the Mayor and Cor-
poration of Halifax, accompanying it with the con-
dition that they spent not less than £315 per annum
in its preservation. This they gladly undertook to
do, and the park has ever since been a source of
pleasant, healthful, and innocent recreation to the
busy and populous neighbourhood. Sir FRANCIS
CROSSLEY has now enhanced the value of his gift
still further. By the munificent donation of
£6,000 he has provided an investment for
realising the necessary income, so that the inhabi-
tants of Halifax have no longer any responsibility
in connection with the park, which remains the free
gift of its public-spirited and munificent donor.
The other instance of generosity to which we alluded
is even more remarkable. At the annual meeting of
the Mersey Steel and Iron Company, held yester-
day at Liverpool, with Mr. T. HORSFALL, M.P., in
the chair, it was stated that, owing to the general
depression of trade, there had been a loss in the year's
workings of £6,712, added to a loss of over £7,000
from depreciation of the machinery, &c. The
chairman stated that himself and his brother, after
mature consideration, had agreed to waive their
claim to £64,000 of the goodwill, which was valued
at £91,000 at the time the business was transferred
to the company. Such an act speaks for itself , and
will bring its own reward.
