STATE OF TRADE.

__--t-

MANCHESTER, Jex. 23.

The market has been a shade firmer in cbusequence of
the harder tone of the Liverpool cotton-market. Up to
this morning there was a great anxiety to sell among
spinners not under order, and the circle of sellers was
increasing, but to-day they are less willing to make the
concessions required, though still buyers are able to
operate rather cheaper than they were eight or ten days
ago. Many of our spinners are engaged for months for-
ward in certain descriptions of yarn, and for these goods
buyers find a difficulty in supplying their orders within
the limits of their correspondents. In 40-inch shirtings
rather easier prices are taken in consequence of the un-
favourable news by the overland mail, but other cloths
'are affected much in the same way as yarns. Very little
business doing.

TOE SUPERANNII&TION TAX.—GLASGOW PETITION. A
petition from the officers of customs at the port of
Glasgow, against the superannuation tax, has been
placed in the hands of Mr. Alexander Hestia, the mem.
her for the city, for presentation to Parliament. Isir•
Alexander Bailie Cochrane of Lamington, the new
member for the county of L'anark, has also promised to
lend his influence and support for the repeal of the
obnoxious tax.—Civil Service Gazette.
The Weekly Register and Catholic Standard of today
announces that the Irish Catholic Archbishops ar
summoned to Rome, and that it is expected that Dr.
I
Cullen will be created a Cardinal. The appointment s
announced, by the same paper, of the Honourable and
Reverend W. Clifford, D.D., SOD of Lord Clifford, Beet tape
Catholio See of Clifton, whioh has been Berne time
vacant.
