"STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
There was quiet
market yesterday, both for goods

prices showed some tendency to recede. The real
state of the market, however, cannot be ascertained
until the general resumption of employment, and the
production of a full supply of, goods, shall have brought
forward the erders which' have been suspended on
account of the turn-out.
ltoctinaLz FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY,.. SEPT. .
19.--We have had a very brisk demand for flannels
th-day, and pieces have been eagerly bought up; but
the manufacturers have not yet been able to obtain a
decided advance in Price. The wool market continues
in much the same state it has been for some Mondays
past. The dr4lers are very willing to sell at former
prices, and the manufacturers buy very sparingly.

I Was read at the Porte yesterday at an early hour. About the same
time Sir/Stratford Canning was engaged in au:lin
with the Sultan, the ostensible object of which was hence

jesty for the presents lately forwarded to her from
Constantinople; but which there is every reason to
presume was also turn9d to good account by the Am-
bassador for the expression of his sentiments with re-
spect to the Ministerial changes at that moment in
operation, and which it had been the aim of his un-
ceasingona energetic endeavours, from his first ar-
rival M. the Turkish capital, to effectuate. Ile had
scon at once that the Ministry, as then constituted,

influenczVat .least such an one as was suited to
his comprehensive ideas on the subject. Sacri-
ficing, therefore, all temporary and petty advantages
which ,he might have obtained by conciliating the
personal regard of the late Grand Vizier, he made
open' war on. him and his system from the outset. The
course adopted by more than one of his diplomatic
colleagues was far less dignified and consistent. Their
amiable optimism could adapt itself to any state of
things, howev!kiuinous. Their views extended to
the paz=sing,Aay, and no further. Their triumphs,

- •

therefore, are like to prove altogether as ephemeral.
One advantage they may certainly derive from these
tactics, which is, that their objects of one day (to
which, as I have remarked, they are strictly confined)
by no means interfere with those of the next. A re-
markable instance of this appears in the behaviour of'
one of these gentlemen on the present occasion.
While the position of Izzet Mehemet was secure, the
Minister was his strenuous supporter and fulsome apo-
logist—when it became doubtful he held his tongue
and grew circumspect; but when, under repeated blows
dealt by a vigorous hand, the Vizier began to totter,
when it was known that his dismissal from office was
only retarded by the difficulty which presented itself
in the choice of a successor--then, and not till then
(and now only four days ago) a sudden and most
spirited attack was made upon him by the preux die-
vaher and courageous diplomatist in question.
Rauf Pacha, who waS President of the Supreme
Council, has been replaced in that post by Halil Pa-
eha, the Sultan's brother-in-law ; he is considered
able and clever, but at the same time unprincipled and
corrupt, but he does not openly set his face against
reform, like Izzet Pacha; he is, on the contrary, per-
haps, too friendly to innovation. Rauf, the Grand
Vizier, is, both with respect to his character and his.
views, a perfect cypher ; and he has evidently been put
in his present post, ad interim, till a more efficient
minister be chosen to occupy it.
