GERMANY.

In the Chamber of Deputies of Saxony, on the ht,
some Deputies blamed strongly a declaration of the
Minister Zachinski, to the effect that the Government
would not put into execution the fundamental rights
not yet in vigour, and that it would even propose the
revocation of those already existing, which may ap-
pear to it to be injurious to the prosperity of the
country. One Deputy proposed that a Committee
should be appointed to decide whether the Govern-
ment ought not to be impeached, but a formal vote on
the matter was delayed until the official publication
of the declaration complained of.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Last week an advance
of fully id. per lb. was realised to a fair extent,
both in yarns for home consumption and for
shipment to the European continent ; while in
goods there was a tendency in the same direction,
which, however, through the backwardness of
buyers, did not result in a positive rise. To-day
the market has shown, as it has so often done
before, how sensitive it is of the least check. Al-
though the stock of yarns in the hands of producers
is very light, and light also in those of our foreign
customers, while the accounts of sales are favourable
from the east, still, a day or two's quietness in the
Liverpool market has very perceptibly diminished
the spirit there was in our own. The Germans and
the home buyers have at once held back,
and the eastern merchants have not ventured upon
any operations; so that the amount of business has
been inconsiderable. In goods, also, there has been
a general inactivity, and a some what increased
difficulty of selling. But spinners, working
without profit, or to a ruinous loss, and seeing
no immediate prospect of cheaper cotton, are much
more in the mind to lessen their production in a
still greater degree, thaa to make any concession
from their present demands. In this department,
therefore, the greatest firmness prevails ; and, if
it is not equally marked in goods, there are rea-
sons fur the difference in the absence of improving
accounts from the Levant and the west coast of
America, as well as in a certain degree of disappoint-
ment from the eastern advices ; yet manufacturers
adhere to their quotations with much steadiness.
ROCYDALE, MONDAY.—We have had very little
change in the flannel market to-day, either in price
or demand, from that of last Monday. There has been
considerable competition for the Government order of
200,000 yards of flannel awarded some ten days ago.
Several of the manufacturers who have been suc-
cessful in former years in obtaining a fair share
of this order have failed doing so this year. So low
have been the tenders that many of those who have
got a fair share of the order are unwilling to acknow-
ledge it, and those who do own it say they have got
more of it than they wish. Report speaks of a Man-
chester merchant as being one of the successful com-
petitors. All has been quiet in the wool market, and
prices steady.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—There has been a fair
inquiry since our last for manufactured goods, parti-
cularly of fancy styles, which have found ready
buyers. The business done is not large, as this
description of goods were only held in limited
quantities by the trade. Some houses are
now directing their attention to an alteration of
patterns suitable for the autumn season. We hear,
also from Manchester, that the silk manufacturers
there hare been selling silk goods more freely during
the last week ; should this state of things continue,
we hope, ere long, to see a better demand for thrown
silk, when manufaclurers are expected to make pre-
paration for the autumn trade. The mills continue
working full time. In thn raw silk market only a
limited business was transacted, but a better inquiry
exists the last few days. Prices are reported firm, with
the exception of Italians and,Brutias,which have latterly
been considered above the market, as compared to
other classes of silk. Letters from Italy, however,
mention that prices of the new crop were expected
to rule high, in consequence of the ungenial
weather experienced there. We regret to note
the failure of an influential firm engaged in the
shipping of silk manufrctured goods in Liverpool, who
stopped payment on Friday. The liabilities are
said to be about 30,000/. ; of which between
17,0001. or 18,0001. falls: on silk manufacturers of
Macclesfield. The creditors of this town had a meeting
yesterday at noon, and agreed to let the firm go on
as there is all probability of their paying the
whole amount if sufficient time be allowed. The
bad spring trade in America is said to be the cause
of the failure ; it is one of the severest blows our ma-
nufacturers for many years ; and nearly one-half the
amount falls on one house, which, however, is for
tunately well able to bear it.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUBSDAY.—We cannot report
any favourable change in the state of the market
at present : two or three of the warehouses have been
doing pretty well, but buyers are scarce, and, gene•
rally speaking, business is slack for this time of the
year. Of course the weather, which is unusually
cold, must have great influence.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY MAY 4.—There WSS but a
slender attendance of merchants in our Piece flail to-
day ; and, with the exception of a little more inquiry
for job lots, there was no particular alteration in the
amount of business transacted or in prices. The yarn
market is steady, and the spinners are fully employed
at late rates. There is no great quantity of wool
changing
hands, and where sales are forced a reduc-
tion has to be submitted to.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.
The following proceedings of working classes in the
country, in support of the exhibition, have been re-
ported up to Friday last :
