E. I am surprised at your application? we have One of your
family in office already !
C. I had understood my brother's conduct bad given general
satisfaction, arid on that ground I ventured to be a candidate.
E. Your brother, Sir, is a must unexceptionable muu—,-to meet
with one such man is very difficult—to meet with two such in the
*am* Wilily is quite impossible.*You will never do, depend
bn, It !
Ue candidate, who was unacquainted with him mannera,
felt much mortified at hia reception, and was about to leave
. the room, when he ridded " the experiment, however, is
, worth trying, and I will do every thing in my power to
serve you,

STATE OF TRADE.—Our market of Tuesday was
less lively than we have noticed it for several weeks.
There was not, however, any decline in prices; on

• the contrary, there seemed a. determination, on the
part of some of the spinners, to obtain an advance ;
upon the whole, we believe the price of yarn may be
quoted the same as last week. The decline in the
demand for that article may undoubtedly be attributed
principally to the completion of the orders from Rus-
sia, which generally produces a stillness at:this season.
The demand for yarn for our own manufactures is
not at all abated, but rather on the increase. There
were fewer inquiries for goods than for yarns, and the
market in them was decidedly dull. We have not,
however, heard of any reduction in price. The %a es
of weaving continue the same, and if the market
should continue inactive, the prospects of the poor
weavers will become, as winter approaches, exceed-
ingly distressing.—Manehester Herald.
The workmen of several of the principal cotton
mills in this vicinity have received warning of the in-
tention of the proprietors to make a reduction of one
farthing on the rates paid for cotton-spinning. The
rates
inpaid to the power-loom-weavers and dressers
have some instances undergone a reduction of about
a third.--Greenock Advertiser.

It is with great pleasure we can state, that our ac-
counts from all parts of the manufacturing districts are
in one strain,---all showing that there is a great and
growing inprovement in the state of trade. The
Rochdale Relief Committee have suspended their
operations solely on account of this fortunate turn
of affairs, having still, after expending nearly 9000
pounds, a balance of six hundred in hand. The new
road from the same place to Burnley will also employ a
great portion of the surplus population. Six thousand
pounds have been lent by the Exchequer Loan Office
for the purpose of carrying it on, to which 2000
more have been added, as a gift, by the London
Relief Committee. Between four and five hundred
weavers ere already at work upon it, clearing the ground
and breaking the stone. The whole is under the
superintendance of MT. M' Adam L" tverpool Courier.
One of Mr. Denovatt's welled smacks arrived itt the
roads on MondaT, with a cargo
of fine fish, actually
caught beyond Cape Wrath, in the Atlantic Ocean.
They are now brought, 44 alive" daily to all the three
and delivered in
Edinburgh markets, the same state at
the principal hotels. A person skilled in culinar
matters, in whose hands we Navy a large cod of this
Lake, spoke in rapturous term of the flee condition of
the fish.----Scotsman.
MAJOR LAiNG.--A letter from Algiers,
dated 6th
September, says—,4 We have heard tim Tripoli, that
a strong report---nay, almost an authenticated one—
had arrived there of poor Major Lailig, and all his
'party, having been murdered by one of the tribes in
the desert called Twenties. What a melancholy ea-
tastrophe, if truer He married the Consult,
Warrington's) daughter the day before . he seoff ya
Bias expedition." As the last accounts of Major Laing
(AMC through Tripoli, which has much more frequent
communications with central Africa than Algiers pos-
sesses, and as these accounts announced his arrival near
Timbuetoo, where the dangers from the tribes of the
desert would nearly cease, we are strongly disposed to
believe that this report is unfounded.—Scotsman.
