STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 23,

The market has been a shade firmer in consequence 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, all'l 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 yarrw. Very little
business doing.

THE SUPERANNUATION TAX.—GLARGOW 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 Hastie, the mete•
ber for the city, for presentation to Parliament. Mr.
Alexander Bailie Cochrane, of Latuington, the new
member for the county of Lanark, 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 to-day
announces that the Irish Catholic A.rchbishops are
summoned to R,me, and that it is expected that D.
Cullen will be created' a Cardinal. The appointment 1g
announced, by the same paper, of the Honourable and
Reverend W. Clifford, D.D., bon of Lord Clifford, to the
Catholic See of Clifton, which has been some time
vacant.
