STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
Business contiunes in a satisfactory state in this
market. The demand for yarn is very good, and, for
some descriptions, especially of water twist, a slight ad-
vance has been obtained. Goods are also in fair demand;
and, with the exception of 40-inch shirting (which, though
rather better than last week, are still somewhat de-
pressed), sell readily at very firm prices. It is satisfac-
tory, however, to observe that there is an entire absence
of speculative feeling in the market. Spinners and ma-
nufacturers are ready sellers at the market prices, and
generaliy disposed to accept orders for future &livery.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 15.—
We have bad a very good demand for flannels to-day,
but very little change in the prices. Manufacturers
complain that they cannot get an advance upon their
pieces in proportion to the advance upon the raw mate-
rial. Wool has been much inquired after ; and the
prices are slowly, but gradually, advancing.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE thought that unless
these asylums were as numerous as the police-offices,
they would be of no use.
Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know what provision
was to be made for those persons for whom there was
no room in these asylums?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM was afraid that without the
insertion of a proviso, the clause might be construed to
relieve the unions from the obligation at present im-
posed on them, of relieving the destitute poor; and in
that case, when the asylums were full, the poor would be
left without relief. He therefore proposed to introduce
a proviso, enacting that nothing in this Act contained
shall be construed as relieving guardians or relhving
officers of unions from any obligation at present imposed
upon them by law to relieve any case of destitution or
urgent necessity.—(Hear, hear.)
After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, which were
inaudible in the gallery,
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, if he could ascertain
the exact wishes of the Committee, he should be most
happy to comply with them. On the whole, it would
be as well that the question of removal should be post-
poned—(Hear, hear)—and that the clause, with the ad-
dition he had proposed, should be agreed to, in order to
meet the immediate ernergeneies-of the case.—(Hear.)
Colonel WOOD (Brt con) quite agreed in the pro-
priety of postponing the entire question of removal until
the next session, when they would all be better prepared
to discuss and decide upon it.
Mr. WAKLEY expressed a hope that the addition to
the clause was so worded as not to supersede the liability
of the relieving officer to extend help, or the right of the
really unfortunate to claim it.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said his intention in framing
the clause was precisely that which the Hon. Member
for Finsbury desired, and he thought the phraseology
would bear out that intention.
The clause as amended was then agreed to.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was now in the hands
of the House, and he was willing to obliterate the power
of removal from the Bill, or to proceed with the discus-
sion of the words, giving such power as the majority of
the Members might think fit.
Mr.. BORTHWICK considered it better to retain the
power. As the Right Hon. Gentleman bad promised to
bring in a Bill next session on the whole subject of the
law of settlement, it would be very easy then to modify
or otherwise alter the power now given, or to remedy
any evil which might be found to have arisen in the
exercise of it.
Mr ESTCOURT agreed with the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman (Sir J. Graham) that it would be better to abro-
gate the power, and leave the whole question for deci-
sion in the next session.
Mr. G. BANKES said the question of removal was
now never decided by the judges on its merits. He
agreed in the propriety of deferring the consideration of
the question until next year, when something sound
and permanent might be resolved on.
All the words giving the power of removal were then
struck out from the Bill.
Clause 48 was then agreed to.
Clauses 50, 51, 52, and 53, were agreed tcor.
Clause 54 was also adopted.
Sir J. GRAHAM then gave notice that he should con-
tinue the consideration of this Bill in Committee to-
morrow, at one o'clock. He had made arrangements
with his Hon. Friend (Mr. Gladstone) for that purpose.
Mr. HUME asked if any arrangements had been made
with respect to the Railways Bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the Railways Bill would be
proceeded with at twelve o'clock till one, when the Poor-
law Bill would be taken. His Right Hon. Friend would
then state on what day the Railways Bill would be pro-
ceeded with.
The House then resumed, the Chairman reported
progress, and obtained leave to sit to-morrow at One.
APPEAL IN CRIMINAL CASES BILL.
This Bill was postponed in consequence of the absence
of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly.

The Bill was then read a second time.
