STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
Business remains in the same state as last week ;
the yarn market being steady with firm prices; the
goods market very quiet, with a slight tendency to
decline. Stocks of every kind are still very low.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, AUG. 26.—The
market to-day has been but dull, and the business
transacted very limited. The wool market has also
been very quiet, with no change in prices. Another
failure of a small manufacturer is announced, and the
chief creditors are, as usual, the wool dealers.

MARKET NE WS.-( THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have
been very limited, and the show of samples of that ar-
ticle was small. The finest qualities were mostly sold
at full prices. In other kinds exceedingly little was
passing. Foreign Wheat was in good supply, and heavy
demand, at barely late rates. No English Barley was
on offer, but the supply of Foreign was good. The de-
mand for this article, as well as fur all kinds of Malt,
was in a very sluggish state, at barely previous rates.
In Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, a moderate business
was doing, and prices were steadily supported.

" TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

" MOGADORE, AUG. 17.
" THE PRINCE DE JOINTILLE TO THE MINISTER OF

MARDiE.

" On the 15th w•e attacked Mogadore.

" After having destroyed (ecrase) the town and its
batteries, we took possession of the island and of the
port.

" Sixty-eight men, including seven officers, were
killed or wounded. lam busied in establishing the
garrison of the island. I have placed the port in a
state of blockade.

" Attested copy,
" Baron DE MACKAU, Vi^e-Admiral, Peer
of France, Minister of Marine and Colonies."

The news of this victory following so quickly after
that gained by Marshal BUGEAUD, has naturally
caused great joy among the war party in Paris, who
now dream only of conquests. It has had a different
effect, however, on the moneyed interest, and caused a
fall of about 15 centimes. On Monday the Three
per Cents., at the close of the Bourse, were quoted
at 80f. 70c., but after the telegraphic dispatch became
known they fell to 80f. 55c. This is no great fall
however, and it is not at all improbable that the spe-
culators have hopes that the two events will have
a favourable effect, and bring affairs to a settle-
ment. The Emperor of MOROCCO must see
that his troops have no chance against the skill,
discipline, and bravery of European soldiers, and
as the French fleet has established itself at Moga-
dore, only 130 miles from his capital, he will,
probably, find it more convenient to yield to the
demands of the French. It is a most unfortunate
circumstance that he has allowed the contest to
proceed so far, taking it for granted that the
terms proposed were at all reasonable. Of this,
however, we cannot speak with any certainty, for
the French have kept the negotiations and the con-
ditions demanded so secret, that it is impossible to
come to any conclusion as to the real merits of the
dispute. One thing is certain, these victories cannot
fail to excite a strong warlike feeling in France, and
render any equitable settlement a matter of great 1
difficulty.

THE LONG RANGE AND INVISI

BLE SHELL.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The importance of Captain Warner's invention is
incalculable. Like all extraordinary discoveries, a
host of sceptics has arisen, and, as was the case when
gas was first introduced, thousands are ready to scorn
and ridicule the discoverer of this irresistible power,
who are quite unable to appreciate the value of the
secret. The prejudice of naval and military gentle-
men of the olden school, who are unwilling to be put
out of their usual way, can be readily accounted for,
but with others the opposition can only proceed from
an unworthy jealousy of an original and persevering
individual ; and it shows a great want of liberality in
men of education, if it is not approaching to malice, to
attempt running down Captain Warner by insinua-
tions and assertions altogether gratuitous and un-
tenable. Its adoption as an arm of war, it is evident,
would disturb our present tactics in both land and
sea service, the consequences of which may be rea-
dily conceived, even were the secret to be preserved
by a country where the utmost freedom is given to
foreign Powers to inspect our arsenals and manufac-
tories. It is most probable that if Government is in-
duced to purchase it, the object will be its suppres-
sion, as is understood to have been the case with an
invention of the late Michael Logan, engineer, who
had discovered a mode of gunnery, which would, if
adopted, have rendered useless the present science of
projectiles. The celebrated Napier of Merchiston,
who invented the Logarithms, it appears, possessed
the power of an engine, or power, by which a whole
field could be cleared of an enemy at one fell dis-
charge ! When urged to divulge the secret, he ob-
served that there were already too many methods
for the destruction of human life, and he would be no
benefactor to mankind were he to multiply them; it
accordingly died with him.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT Or PEDESTRIANISM.—Yes-
terday a great number of persons assembled at the Rose-
mary Branch ground, at Peckham, to witness the per-
formance of a match undertaken by Blanks (better known
under the cognomen of the Warwickshire Antelope).
The match was to run 10 miles and pick up 100 stones,
placed on the ground at a yard apart, to be fetched se-
parately and deposited at one end, making in the whole
a distance of 15 miles, 5 furlongs, and 200 yards, and
complete the same within one hour and 40 minutes. The
stakes were 301. In the bettinr, the odds were on time.
The ground being measured, he commenced his hercu-
lean task by running the 10 miles, which he completed
in 59 minutes. lie then went to work at the stones upon
the ground, and which he cleared in 38 minutes—thus
-accomplishing the match in 97 minutes, and having three
minutes to apace.

BULL and WILSON, WOOLLEN WARE-
HOUSEMEN, beg respectfully to announce that their EX-

POSITION of AUTUMNAL FANCY' GOODS will take place en
MONDAY NEXT, the 2d of September.
From the great success of their ENGAGED STYLES in Trowser-
ings for the last few seasons, they have been induced to produce a
still greater variety, and they may confidently state, from the exten-
sive orders already on hand for America and the Continent, as well
as Paris, that the styles of the present season will be found, on in-
spection, to be fully equal, if not superior, to any former year. The
wool having been purchased some months since, B. and W. feel great
pleasure in giving their friends the advantage of old prices. To
Country Buyers they would submit that the present time is most
favourable for purchasing, as a month later the new wools come into
the market, and the best patterns will probably be gone. All Winter
Goods dated forward as October. The three best designs for Trou-
sers are the Russian, the Saxony, and Prussian Doeskins.
Just imported, several cases of rich French Velvets for dress ;
also a very elegant assortment of Parisian, Cashmere, and Thlbet
Waistcoatings ; very fine and thin Autumnal Cloths for Walking
Coats, ill addition to the large stock of general Woollen Goods.

DISTRESSING CASE OF MISS JOHNSON.—It will
be in the recollection of our readers that there appeared
in The Sun a few clays since an account of the distress-
ing case of two young ladies named Johnson, who were
lodging at the house of Mr. Stainsbury, 27, Charlotte-
street West, White Conduit-fields, where they endea-
voured to procure a livelihood by opening a small
school, and where one of them died absolutely from
starvation. We have seen a gentleman who called on
the surviving sister last evening for the purpose of con-
veying to her the donations of himself and a few friends.
He instituted minute inquiries into the circumstances of
the case, and states that the account which has appeared
is correct in every particular. We trust that some means
may be found to provide a permanent home for this
young lady, who, overwhelmned with grief at the loss
of her sister is dependant alone upon casual bounty to
rescue her from the same horrible fate.
CURRENCY MOVEMENT, DUMFRIES, AUG. 20.
Mr. J. B.- O'Brien delivered two lectures in the Trades
Hall here, on the evenings of Friday and Saturday last,
to pretty numerous and attentive, nay, enthusiastic au-
diences,—subjects, the Corn •laws, the Currency, and the
Land. The most important of these questions, that of the
Currency, was a new one to the people, and it certainly
could not have fallen into better hands; for, as the able lec-
turer skilfully unfolded, and laid bare to the vision of the
most obtuse, the cunningly devised system by which
those at the top of the social tree have been enabled
to reduce the industrious to thraldom worse than Egyp-
tian, the shouts by which he was ever and anon in-
terrupted, demonstrated that he has succeeded in
bringing down to the comprehension of a popular as-
sembly, one of the most intricate, and, to a tyro,
most dry questions in the wide range of political
science. On the corn-laws he was equally at home.
This visit of the " schoolmaster" has done much good,
in turning the attention of the inhabitants to the root of
the evil ; and we trust that those who have influence
with the masses, will take advantage of the impression
produced by Mr. O'Brien, to confirm, by the circulation
of cheap publications—those recommended by that gen-
tleman (the tracts of the Society for the Emancipation
of British Industry) among the rest—the views so suc-
cessfully inculcated, and assist the growth of the good
seed sown under such happy auspices.—Correspondent
of the Sentinel.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have
been very limited, and the show of samples of that ar-
ticle was small. The finest qualifies were mostly sold
at full prices. In other kinds exceedingly little was
passing. Foreign Wheat was in good supply, and heavy
demand, at barely late rates. No English Barley was
on offer, but the supply of Foreign was good. The de-
mand for this article, as well as for all kinds of Malt,
was in a very sluggish state, at barely previous rates.
In Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, a moderate business
was doing, and prices were steadily supported.
London, England, 1844-08-28

in our ranks, lam proud to say, some who have called
forth the admiration of their superiors as well as that of
their comrades, for good service rendered during the
struggles in China, to which part of our career you have
so emphatically alluded, and the honourable badge for
which we have for the first time displayed upon our now
sacred banners. Proudly do all of us look upon those
insignia, as we, in conjunction with but a few others, as-
sisted to open the gates of commerce for our enterpris-
ing countrymen into a vast and mighty empire. You
have so kindly made mention of the assistance that wo
have received from Colonel Clive, and the officers and
men of the Grenadier Guards, that I should be wanting
in duty and feeling towards that splendid corps did I not
echo every word you have said. Deeply and sincerely
does the 49th Regiment feel when I say that approbation
from you is of greater value, and will be more fondly
cherished, than if we had received it from one who could
not have added practice to theory. Then, in the name
of the 49th, I thank you for the fostering care you have
shown towards it since we have had the honour of serv-
ing under your command.
The 49th then marched past in review order, quick
and slow time, the band playing, and the new colours
displayed. They were exceedingly beautiful, and in-
scribed with the names of the places where the gallant
49th have gained their laurels.
There was a dinner to 900 soldiers on the ground, a
magnificent dejuener to the officers and their ladies, and
a ball for the men in the evening ; and there will be a
ball at St. John's-house, given by the officers to the no-
bility and gentry, this evening.

DISTRESSING CASE OF MISS JOHNSON.—It Will
be in the recollection of our readers that there appeared
in The Sun a few days since an account of the distress-
ing case of two young ladies named Johnson, who were
lodging at the house of Mr. Stainsbury, 27, Charlotte-
street West, White Conduit-fields, where they endea-
voured to procure a livelihood by opening a small
school, and where one of them died absolutely from
starvation. We have seen a gentleman who called on
the surviving sister last evening for the purpose of con-
veying to her the donations of himself and a few friends.
He instituted minute inquiries into the circumstances of
the case, and states that the account which has appeared
is correct in every particular. We trust that some means
may be found to provide a permanent home for this
young lady, who, overwhelmned with grief at the loss
of her sister is dependant alone upon casupl bounty to
rescue her from the same horrible fate.

CURRENCY MOVEMENT, DUMFRIES, AUG. 20.
Mr. J. B. O'Brien delivered two lectures in the Trades
Hall here, on the evenings of Friday and Saturday last,
to pretty numerous and attentive, nay, enthusiastic au-
diences,—subjects, the Corn laws, the Currency, and the
Land. The most important of these questions, that of the
Currency, was a new one to the people, and it certainly
could not have fallen into better hands; for, as the able lec-
turer skilfully unfolded, and laid bare to the vision of the
most obtuse, the cunningly devised system by which
those it the top of the social tree have been enabled
to reduce the industrious to thraldom worse than Egyp-
tian, the shouts by which he was ever and anon in-
terrupted, demonstrated that he has succeeded in
bringing down to the comprehension of a popular as-
sembly, one of the most intricate, and, to a tyro,
most dry questions in the wide range of political
science. On the corn-laws he was equally at home.
This visit of the " schoolmaster" has done much good,
in turning the attention of the inhabitants to the root of
the evil ; and we trust that those who have influence
with the masses, will take advantage of the impression
produced by Mr. O'Brien, to confirm, by the circulation
of cheap publications—those recommended by that gen-
tleman (the tracts of the Society for the Emancipation
of British Industry) among the rest—the views so suc-
cessfully inculcated, and assist the growth of the good
seed sown under such happy auspices.—Correspondent

MONSTER RAILWAY TRAINS. —On no occasion
have the inhabitants of the populous districts which the
Manchester and Leeds Railway traverses availed them-
selves so extensively of the many opportunities which
this well-managed and spirited company has afforded
them as on Friday last. A gigantic train, composed of
no less than 94 carriages, comprising first, second, and
third classes, containing 3,120 persons, from Hebden-
bridge and its neighbourhood within 20 miles, started
from that station on the morning of Friday for Hull, a
distance of 74 miles, and by the efficient power of three
first-class engines, performed the journey in four hours.
It returned the same evening, in an equally short space
of time, without the occurrence of a single accident of
any kind, when the parties were most unanimous in
their expression of thanks for the excellent accommoda-
tion provided for them, as well as for the usual liberality
of the company, the charge for the trip haying been
only half the regular fare. It has been often stated that
the Manchester and Leeds Company was the first to
cater for the thousands in this manner, and much satis-
faction has been expressed at many other companies fol-
lowing such an excellent example. The above instance
is sufficient proof of the popular appreciation of the li-
berality of the Manchester and Leeds Company. Great
credit has been given to the clerks in charge at the re-
spective stations, for the strict attention paid to the
comforts and safety of each individual who joined the
giant train in the excursion trip.
ROD FISHING.—On Saturday last, Richard Den-
nistoun, Esq., Springwool Park, had singular sport in
the Tweed, at Makerstoun fishings, having killed twelve
grilses with the rod. We believe that few of the fisher-
men in this district remember of such success with the
rod at this season of the year.—Kelso Mail

In our rank, I am proud to say, some who have call( d
forth the admiration of their -superiors as well as that f
their comradvs, for gocal service
_rendered during the
struggles fh China, to which part of our career you have
so emphatically alluded, and the honourable badge for
wh;.cli we have f...r the first time displayed upon our now
sacred banners. Proudly do all of us look upon those
insignia, as we, in conjunction with but a few others, as-
sisted to open the gates of commerce for our enterpris-
ing countrymen into a vast and mighty empire. You
have so kindly made mention of the assistance that we
have received from Colonel Clive, and the officers and
melt of the Gr.madier Guards, that I shculd be wanting
in ;!uty and fieling towards that splendid corps did I not
echo every word 3oa have said. Deeply and sincerely
does the 49th Regiment feel when I say that approbation
from you is of greater value, and will be more fondly
checished, than if we had received it from one who could
riot have added practice to theory. Then, in the name
of the 49th, I thank you for the fostering care you have
shown towards it since we have had the honour of serv-
ing under your command.

BULL and WILSON, WOOLLEN WARE-
HOUSEMEN, beg respectffilly to announce that their EX-
POSITION of AUTUMNAL FANCY GOODS will take place on
:MONDAY NEXT, the 2d of September.
From the great success of their ENGAGED STYLES in Trowser-
ings for the last few seasons, they have been induced to produce a
still greater variety, and they may confidently state, from the exten-
sive orders already on hand for America and the Continent, as well
as Paris, that the styles of the present season will be found, on in-
spection, to be fully equal, If not superior, to any former year. The
wool having been purchased some months since, B. and W. feel great
pleasure in giving their friends the advantage of old prices. To
Country Buyers they would submit that the present time is most
favourable for purchasing, as a month later the new wools come into
the market, and the best patterns will probably be gone. All Winter
Goods dated forward as October. The three best designs fur Trou-
sers are the Russian, the Saxony, and Prussian Doeskins.
Just imported, several cases of rich French Velvets for dress ;
also a very elegant assortment of Parisian, Cashmere, and Thihet
Waistcoatings ; very fine and thin Autumnal Cloths for Walking
Coats, in addition to the large stock of general Woollen Goods.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Aug. 27.)
SUGAR.—Previous rates have been sustained for West
iia of all descriptions, and a good demand has
p: 'veiled for bright yellow sorts, of which there is
y a moderate quantity still in the market. To-day
re was less inclination shown to purchase
-st India Sugar. From Grocers and Refiners the
do nand was limited, and the rates accepted were fid
p cwt under those of Friday for brown and inferior
ac ts, but good and fine yellow maintained the former
ct rency. A public sale of Barbadoes Sugar went hea-
✓ y at a further decline in price of 6d per ewt. ; low
yt low at 56s to 56s 6d, mid 57s to 58s, good mid 59s to
S' good 60s 6(1 to 613 6d, and fine 64s to 64s 6d per
" t ; the trade generally still entertain a prejudice to-
wr.rds this sort of Sugar.
ItErmEn.—The market has assumed a firmer appear-
3. vo for Refined Sugar ' • the demand from the home
t'ade has been good, and stiffer rates given. To day
twined goods were in excellent request by: To-day
t home
Ircde Brown lumps at 735, and standard lumps 74s to
7,16 Gd per cwt. The market is firm for bonded crushed
Sugars, and there are no sellers under 27s 6d per cwt
for first quality.
Marnmus.—A fair demand has prevailed by private
Ccrtract, especially for the better qualities, and former
tr.:es are sustained. This afternoon buyerslas
were less
des'rous to purchase, and a part only
low fetcheddisposed
61s ot fo,
yellow bt.t full rates were obtained; fine v
65„ good 60s to 60s 6d, good Enid 578 6d to 595, mid
£4, 6d to 56s 6d, low 53s to 545, fine brown 52s to
52 • 6d, good 60s to .51s 6d, and ord 48s to 493 6d
per cwt.
EAST INDIA,—For Bengal the demand has increased,
Sol by private treaty several parcels of strong yellow
and the better sorts of white have been disposed of at
rather higher rates. This afternoon 572 bags of Bengal
sugar were offered at auction ; nearly the whole was
damaged, and of low quality, and was chiefly taken in ;
brown drainage damaged at 42s to 475, low soft yellow
Ins to 525, damp ditto, 60s, low soft white 56s 6d, and
daLlp ditto 55s per cwt. There was less business doing
by private contract, and easier rates were accepted for
common sorts.
:'oREIGN.—The market has still a firm appearance for
all descriptions of Foreign Sugar ; Cox' White Havannah
tht re has been a better demand, and the rates paid are
rather above those previously quoted. To-day the mar-
ket was better supplied ; at public sale 587 boxes 18 brls
of Cuba, and 1,292 boxes I-lavannah were brought for-
ward ; nearly the whole was disposed of ; white fetched
full rates, but brown andyellow 6d to ls-per cwt cheaper.
Cu'a, gr white fetched 27s to 28s, low to mid 25s to
!6s 6d, washed 24s 6d, good sound yellow 20s to 20s 6d,
Laid 155 6d, low 18s to 18s 6d, washed 19s i ILIT6IIII3h •

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

On MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY,
throughout the Season, the Gardens will open with the following
attractive Novelties :

THE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS-FEEDING OF THE

ANIMALS-IUNRIVALLED MENAGERIE.

MODELS of VENICE and LONDON_ in the OLDEN TIME,

Painted by Dansonand

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all
former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer
are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea-
tion,,:nd •re unanimous in pronouncing it the most wouderftil ex-
hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific
display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of
the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa.
cious Lake, to be fully appreciated.
The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mon,lays, Tues-
days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conouctecl by Mr. Godfrey.
are upon a scale of more than usual excellence; last words fail in
doing justice to the awful representation of
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.
Its fearful •::haracteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same
time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic
Art, rnat delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands
who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit
that :2outliby, :he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless
triumph.

The Hardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect
state, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far
be most attraltive lounge in or near the tretropoli,
