The Tuscan Monitore of the 21st publishes a
decree of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, announcing
hir intention of leaving the country for some time,
and directing that the Council of Ministers shall be
entrusted with the management of atEtirs, and that
the presence of five Ministers shall be sufficient for
tha validity of their resolutions. The Grand Duke
and his family set out for Vienna on the 20th.
The Municipal Council of Florence has decided, in
its sitting of the 18th, that the present political cir-
cumstances of the country are not of a nature to
allow of the celebration of the usual public festivities
on Midsummer-rlay.
A letter from Arezzo of the 20th, quoted by the
Genoa Gazette, states that a stone having been thrown
from a window at an Austrian soldier, this occur-
rence caused a collision between some townspeople
and the military, which became so serious that the
latter made use of their firearms, in consequence of
which three persons were wounded.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCIIESTE,TUESDAY.---The hardening tendency
of the yarn market has been strengthened by the Ca-
nada's a lvices,showing that the falling off in the receipts
or cotton at the American ports is more than 600,000
bales ; and th extensive tracts of cotton-growing
lands are inundated by the overflow of the rivers—
although the latter statement is received with a good
deal of caution, while against it is placed the fact
that a much greater breadth of land than before has
been planted. Seeing no probability of doing better,
for a time at any rate, our home manufacturers have
bought a fair supply of twist and weft at the re-
quired rates, which have ranged about id. per lb.
above these that were current before the holidays.
Tne Indian merchants have also operated to a mode-
rate extent, at a like advance. Much caution has
still marked the proceedings of the Germans; yet,
though for the most part they have done but little,
the transactions of some of their body have been
considerable. The yarns they take, whether mule
or water, may be considered to have gained id. per
lb., and in some kinds id. In 20's and 30's water
the improvement-is particularly to be noted ;in the
numbers from 12's downwards, there appears to be an
increased firmness and nothing more. 113:. cloth market
has partaken of the tendency just noticed in that
of yarns, so far at least as to have exhibited
greater firmness than might otherwise have been the
case in such articles as are least in request, with a
disposition still to harden in those which are most
wanted, particularly the lower qualities of 7-Bth
printing cloth, and the lower descriptions of 40 inch
s'nirtings. For the latter, there has been more in-
quiry to-day, on India,
and 72' account.
dThere is no call for
40-inch 66's
:nt some accumulations are
appearing ; but the reeds nabl ow a 66 are yet consi-
derably under contract. The makers of domestics,

week, fewer pieces were brought
they would necessarily meet with
ibetter sale under
the usual demand. The wool market
prices, especially for English wool, I: yet dull, and
may be quoted
rather easier.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Sinee our last tla
sales of manufactured goods have been on ae
small
scale, and prices are said to be unsatisfactory. The
thrown silk market remains in the same quiescent
state it has done for some weeks past; whilst raw
silks are reported firm, with considerable business
doing. The dyers complain of sack trade; but, at
this season of the year, this is not unusual.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market has been
rather flat, considering the fineness of the weather,
with the exception of the low fancy and tweed por-
tions ; the manufacturers of those articles are as busy
been
possible for the American market. There has not
much business doing in the warehouses this
week. Tile' wool market keeps firm.
• Halarax, SATURDAY.—There is no new feature in
the aspect of the
worsted trade, which is steady but
not brisk.
Castings
a' of low quality, are still much
i, ern re not readily met with. A
quantity of
ens,, was dispatched from the Hall
to-day, showing a more
thanr ordinary demand for
that old-fashioned article. he spinners are fully
employed, and there is no change in the quotations.
There is not a great deal doing li r
wool, as the spin-
ners are working up their stocks, and waiting for the
new clip ; but there is a pretty impression that
strong
wool has seen its lowest figure.

The markets have been pretty wellsiattended,
fair business has been done. Stocks are lower in the
makers' hands than they usually are at this season
the year, and prices keep firm. of

FOREIGN BUTTER.—A vessel, which has arrived in
the river from Leer (Hanover), has brought 2,408 casks of
butter, tha production of the Hanoverian dominions, com-
prising. the entire cargo. The steam-ship Lord John Russell,
which arrived on the same day from Ela.rlingen, brought the
very large quantity of 4,328 casks of butter as part of her
cargo, the produce of Holland.

We may take upon ourselves to hint that, according
to the committee's plan, the whole extent of the
building,
2,000 and odd feet in length! will be open; that it will
be formed into three main divisions (with side branches)
by iron (water-Pipe) columns, the middle aisle being the
highest, and that its great and startling feature—a,
novelty in construction—will be a central dome of enor-
mous diameter. The side walls will be comparatively
low: the clumps of trees included within the area will be
made available for refreshment places—first, second, and
third class.
For the examination of the designs and preparation of
his plaa, the first step taken by the committee was ob-
taining the services of Mr. Digby Wyatt, the secretary
of the executive committee, an excellent draughtsman
and ornaraentist, but who does not profess, so far as we
now, any practical experience as an architect. For
Ithis reason, therefore, we sup pose, a youtig eiwiaeer, Mr.
