STATE OF TRADE.

LEICESTER, Sept. 19.—There is not much change
in the hosiery trade. Business is in a healthy con-
dition, and manufacturers are also fairly engaged
completing orders on hand. In the country districts
trade is rather quiet, but the operatives are quite as
*ell employed as they are generally at this time of
the year. Worsted yarns are in fair request, the
market being firm and spinners are working to orders.
In wools there is not much doing, and the market
remains without any important change.
NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—The lace trade continues
very quiet. There has been no improvement during
the past few days in the demand for any class of
goods, The cotton trade generally is dull. Clunys
continue in request, but there is not so much doing
in black silk laces. Narrow edgings and silk quilt-
ings continue a very slow sale. There is a little doing
in plain silk meehlins. The market has not been
visited by many buyers recently, and what has been
purchased has been chiefly for immediate wants. In
hosiery there is a fair amount of business doing.
The shipping trade continues healthy, and there is
an average home demand. The workpeople in most
branches are fully employed at good wages. In
yarns there is no change.

The Fatal Collision and Sinking of the
Ross Mangles Steamer.

The Board of Trade yesterday received from the
receiver of wreck for the port of London the an-.
nexed statement, taken on oath, from Captain John
Douglas, master of the Ryhope, iron screw steamer,
473 tons, belonging to Messrs. Taylor and Co., of
Sunderland, which came into collision and sank the
Ross Mangles, steamer, off the Sufiolk coast (with-
in a mile and a-hall of where the Bruiser went

down) :
We left Sunderland on the 4th of September, for Lon-
don, coal laden, weather fine, and a gentle wind from the
S.S.W. About 1.30 the next morning (the 6th) we wore off
the Suffolk coast, near Aldborough Naps, Orfordness Light
bearing W.S.W., distant about four miles; the wind blow-
ing strong from the W.S.W., weather clear. The second
mate was on tho bridge in charge of the vessel. Saw a
dim mast-head light coming on the starboard bow ; he
supposed about two and a half miles distant. He imme-
diately lost sight of the light from the smoke of the
approaching vessel (the Ross Mangles, of London).
His impression was the vessel would pass on on the
starboard side. He saw no side lights in consequence
also of the smoke, she being at that time three
points on our weather bow, and our course was
S.W. by S., which was never altered. We had been stoor-
ing that course for several hours through the heavy sea,
and the vessel constantly dipping her head under, tho look-
out man could not stand on the forecastle, but was placed
on the port side of the bridge; the man was also steering the
vessel at the wheel on the bridge, so that there were three
on the bridge ou the look-out. About 10 minutes after the
vessel was first seen, viz., 20 minutes to 2 o'clock, she was
seen again about half a ship's length from us coming out of
her smoke, which had hidden her from us, immediately right
across our bows, and within a minute a collision took place,
our stem striking her abaft the midship4on the port side,
cutting her down below the waterline. As soon as she was
seen corning out of the smoke our engines were stopped, there
was no time to do anything more. Immediately after the
collision the .engines were put easy ahead to keep the ves-
sels together, so that we might save the lives on board the
other ship, as she was evidently sinking. 'We remained
together about five minutes. I, who had just come up from
below, had arrived at the bridge at the time the collision
took place, and having called out to know if all the persons
on board the other vessel had escaped on board of us was
answered, • Yes.' We then immediately backed out, and
tho vessel sank in about five minutes. We then discovered
there were still some hands left on board from the cries we
heard, and immediately the jolly boat and lifeboat were put
out, and picked up four of the crow that were floating on
life buoys. There were supposed to be five loft on boafd,
four were saved, one supposed to be drowned. We now
looked to repair the damage our own vessel had sustained
as well as we could, and kept a sharp look out for the
missing man. Afterwards we proceeded to London and
landed the crew of the other ship, 13 in number, at North
Woolwich—the master was injured. If the 'vessels had
kept their respective courses they would have passed each
other on the starboard side nearly a mile distant, but the
other vessel altering her course, which could not be seen
in consequence of the smoke, was the cause of the collision.
(Signed) "JOHN DOUGLAS,
Master of the Ryhope steamer."

THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—The reports from
Ireland state that the weather continues very unfa-
vourable for harvest purposes. From the Cork district we
learn that half the month of August was wet; but, not-
withstanding this interruption to field work a good deal
of corn was levelled .and stooked and stacked in the
fields ; but the heavy gales of the first three days of this
week scattered them on the ground, and the heavy rains
prevented their being gathered. Much corn still remains
uncut, and both causes have disappointed the hopes fondly
entertained by the farmer some six weeks ago. In the
early summer it was known that the harvest this year
would be a month late, owing to the unpropitious weather
in the spring ; but the deficiency in the quantities of all
grain brought into the Cork market for the two weeks of
this month is unprocedrefntloteBffof6ndr:b.

cwt.; in 1865, 76,521 cwt.; and this month but 39,546 cwt.
The corn now brought to market is in rather good condi-
tion, having been saved in the early season, which was
dry, and the price is very remunerative, owing to the sub-
sequent state of the weather, which affected the saving of
the crops abroad. The Galway Express declares that potato
blight has made its appearance in some districts. The Lime-
rick Chronicle says:—"From various districts of Limerick,
Clare, and Kerry has the sad intelligence reached us of
rivers overflowing their banks and carrying away the en-
tire produce of the lowland meadows, or of the violentwind
prostrating alike standing corn and stacked, and scattering
the fresh new cut grain in every direction, to be utterly
destroyed by the rain torrents. We fear that in conse-
quence the harvest will prove sadly deficient in quantity
and quality from what has been expected. The potato
crop, too, is much complained of, as the presence of the
disease in some districts is but too apparent. Hay cer-
tainly has turned out a fair average yield, and will prove
very remunerative, but the quantity required must be much
beyond that cf former years, and with little or no old stock

of books and dictionaries, and of the sacred vessels of the

in the Corea it is difficult to divine, but if missionary la-
bours there meet with as little positive success as elsewhere
in China, to talk of conversion is a mere abuse of the term.
