CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Yesterday
the Committee of the House of Lords upon this company's
Bill for sale or lease to the London and North-Western
Railway, after hearing evidence and counsel on both sides,
intimated through the Marquis of Salisbury, their chair-
man, that they approved of the principle of the clauses pro-
posed by the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company for
facilitating the interchange of traffic between them and the
Chester and Holyhead line, but that they would require
amendments to be made. The Committee suggested for the
adoption that the words " if so required by the Shrewsbury
and Chester," should be struck out, as this might leave it to
the option of the two companies to make arrangements to the
prejulice of the public. The clauses with respect to rates
and tolls must be varied. There should be a clause intro-
duced giving the power of booking through the whole length
of line at both stations, and the Committee were also of
opinion that the words "if any differences should arise in
regard to the construction of the clauses," the same should
be referred to the Commissioners of Railways should be left
out. The Shrewsbury and Chester Railway must be bound
to give the same facilities en their line, and the great object
the Committee had in view was to promote the advantage
of the public as far as they possibly could.

STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—
The advices from the United States per Asia, which are to
the 12th instant, fully confirm the previous advices of the
late and damaged condition of the new cotton crop. From
present prospects, it is morally certain the crop must fall
short of even the short one now at market. This latter im-
pression seems to be gaining credence with both buyers and
sellers in this market. Hence there is more confidence, and
buyers have operated to-day more extensively, in both cloth
and yarn, at rates which last market day were only very
partially conceded. Heavy cloths and low counts of yarn
continue to mend, and are low in stock. Printing cloth is
not easy to sell, but there is no change in price; 36 and 40-
inch skirtings are both heavy in the market, and the prices of
last week can barely be maintained ; in these, as well as in
45-inch, stocks are accumulating. Jacconets are still much
depressed, and there is very little inquiry for them. T
cloths continue to improve, and stocks are slowly decreasing.
Long cloths are more generally inquired for, whilst domestics
are increasing in demand, the home trade being large buyers.
It is said that the stocks c,f almost every kind in the market
are being considerably reduced.
Jenny Liud has just given six concerts at Stock-
holm, in aid of the pension fund for the wives and orphans of
the performers at the Theatre Royal of that city. The clear
profit has amounted to upwards of 60,u00f.
