STATE OF TRADE.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
Wit
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVEN1NG.-01.1r cloth and d
market has been unusually feverish and unsettled to-day, caub%0
by the extensive speculation in s.iverpool, and which
tended to advance the staple some 10 per cent. since Fri;
last. In this state of things, and with the probability eilis
still further advance, neither spinners nor manufacturers see
to know what to ask, and as to contracts for future delive s
they are out of the question.
The usual extensive purchasers of cloth and yarn not lite
ta
disposed to give the ativanced rates asked, seem inclined to '0
cos their oars, and to wait to see what the chapter of accidses,
may turn up, so that it is utterly impossible to give any (Pl°tIt
tions, in the absence of anything like extensive purchases. ,
would be impossible to describe the sensation which the Lill
pool speculation is producing.

BOMBAY TRADE WITH CHINA'
A private letter from Bombay has the following
" Since the settlement of the tariff by Sir Henry vo
tinger, the trade with China is improving. Who Woo.a
have anticipated, a ftw months back, the calm 0.a
god feeling that now pr,vails between the Chinese til%
Eaglisl• ! I doubt, however, if we shall be able to get
tea, sugar candy, &c., any cheaper by the arrangeroari
that has been entered into: these articles are at Pr l
sent much dearer than they were before the Noi ,r:
allude to Bombay. How the good folks in Eng"ea
manage to dispose of tea at the prices publish
in the newspapers, is an enigma to me, the
have at this time three American vessels int. ;01
harbour, bound to China, to convey and 0'1,1
the escort of the American Envoy to his Celestle
Majesty, in order to negotiate for a free trade with ta
United States ; but I am told that the treaty enteld
into by Sir Henry Pottinger comprehends " all Europ5
Powers," placing them on an equal footing as regar,i
trade. Such being the case, it was whispered to the wort)
Ambassador, that the High Commissioner would Vej
probably, condescend to receive him, which sF(Piog
to raise his choler. The opium trade is as flouruhig
as ever ; the prices given for the drug are enertcfitg,
ships leave this for our new settlement, Hong-3017r
laden with nothing else ; it is, therefore very Clio
that our Government wink at, if not countenance, ;if
trade. Sir Henry Pottinger has, indeed, declared, that e,
any opium should be seized on the coast by the ChOepot
he will not interfere, nor will her Majesty's Goverfl0
be answerable for the value of any opium so seized---41 at
leaving it entirely to the parties to traffic to any Ote
they please."

NEWSPAPERS TO CHINA —The following --„cv
was issued on Tuesday at St. Martin's-le-Grand and the bes;0,
offices i—" General Post-office, January, 1844. The Vgise
master- General has reason to fear that some rnisappreh°400
exists with regard to the transmission of newspapers to `'istf
not addressed to Hong- Kong, and he conside7s it neeesto
therefore to point out.that such newspapers are liable_ bi
postage of 2d. each, when forwarded by private ships 73o,
packet via Southampton and 1 umbay, and.' to a postage O. id
when forwarded via Marseilles. This postage must be psi d,
advance, or the newspapers cannot be forwarded. This tc
or
lation does not apply to Hong-Kong, to which colony ;
papers may be forwarded via Southampton free of po6t7of
when, however, they are transmitted via Marseilles. °'01$
private ships, they are subject to a postage of 3d. and II' ,
respectively. by command, W. L. Moberly, secretary.' Aro
