STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHBSTER. The market yesterday exhibited
every appearance of steady and continued improve-
ment. -Yarn of all descriptions, and more especially
of the numbers and qualities suitable for Russia and
the East Indies, was in good demand ; and for the
sorts most in request an advance of id. to -Id. was
pretty generally obtained. There was also a very
fair inquiry for goods of all descriptions ; and an ad-
vance of about I id. per piece was obtained on print-
ing cloths. On the whole, perhaps, the improvement,
both in demand and prices, was more striking than
on either of the two preceding Tuesday's markets ;
and it was attended by a decided increase of firmness
and confidence amongst the spinners and manufacturers.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—MONDAY, AUG. 1.
We have had another dull market to-day, somewhat
similar to those of the three previous weeks. The de-
mand for flannels has been very limited ; and the buy-
ers, who have attended the market, have purchased very
sparingly at extremely low prices. The wool market
has been heavy, and the manufacturers seem to pur-
chase for immediate use only. Though there is no
change in the price of wool, yet the dealers are very
eager to sell at the old prices.

CRICKET MATCHES.
KENT v. ENGLAND.
The match of cricket playing at Canterbury—Kent
and- All England—is likely to extend to at least four
days play, the first innings of Kent and two wickets of
England having occupied the whole of Monday and
Tuesday. Kent, on resuming the play yesterday, lost
Pilch without his having added to his previous day's
score of 98. Mr. A. Mynn added 11 to his previous 16;
Wenrnan did not score ; Dorrington made 15 ; Messrs,
-Whittaker and W. Baker 3 each ; and Mr. E. Bayley 5,
not out. Their whole score amounted to 278—the precise
number once made by that celebrated player, Mr.
Ward, from off his bat. England with the loss of
Fenner and Box, had scored 121, when the game ceased
last night with Barker and Guy at the wickets ; the
former had fetched 53 runs, and the latter 36. Box had
a score of 22 when caught by A. Mynn ; and Fenner
-- *spored one whoa he lost his wicket by Hyllyer.
The game, though still much in favour of Kent, is yet
to be won by England, judging from the great score made
8t the price of two wickets only.
The ground was on Monday well attended, and yes-
terday upivards of 2,500 persons were present.
The following is the score up to its close last night:—

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TAE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DIY.

GLOB.a—The Times, whose conduct with regard
to the bribery question has been regulated entirely
with a. view to the election of Mr. Walter for Not-
,
• thigham, puts forth some curious remarks this morn-
ing upon the Ipswich case, and insinuates a doubt
whether the decision arrived at by the Committee can
be. sustained as a precedent. There cannot be a
doubt in the mind of any unprejudiced person that the
facts set forth in the resolution, by which Lord Desart
and Mr. Gladstone are declared to have been,
" through their agents, guilty of bribery at the
last election," are sufficient in law, as well as in
reason, to have subjected them to the loss of their
seats ; for though the instances of bribery were petty,
and by no means numerous, the principle of ob-
taining a majority by corrupt influences was
clearly acted on. The Yfories at Ipswich carried
the election of their candidates by bribery ; and
though the amount was inconsiderable, they have
no right to take credit for a moderation
which was only occasioned by the integrity of
. the -Liberals, who refused to resort to illicit prac-
tices. Thus their Conservative antagonists were left
to triumph at a small pecuniary cost, though at a total
sacrifice of principle, of which the whole is abandoned
when one iota is surrendered. • The amount of bribery
really has no more to do with the gravity of the offence,
than the smallness of the sum found in the pockets of
a traveller can extenuate the guilt of a highwayman
who empties them. hi the latter case the culprit takes
all lie can get, as in the Ipswich affair the offending,
parties gave all that was requisite for effecting their ob-
ject. The election was carried by corruption, and
while the law declares that the bribery of voters shall
disqualify those who have practised it from retain-
ing their seats, .it would be dangerous indeed to
allow that the offence might be committed with
impunity within certain—or, what is worse, un-
certain—limits. If this were permitted, the purity
of one party would always ensure the easy
triumph of the other ; for, if the former should
abstain on principle from the smallest violation
of the freedom of election, it would only be necessary
for the other side to make easy terms with the corrupt
voters, of whom there will always be in every place a
certain number. As there would be no competition,
they might be forced to take such a price as would
keep the whole amount within the limits to which—
according to the Times—if bribery was 'confined, it
ouht to be considered venial.
STANDARD.—In the House of Lords, last
night, Lord Brougham, in a • long and highly ani-
_ mated speech, moved a resolution, calling upon the
Queen's Government to take into consideration . the
• •:•present state of the trade in slaves, with a view to its
..complete suppression. We tell Lord Brouilham that as
• 'to as he and others maintain the sacred inviolability
of the pretended rights of "capital" [the soft name
for:the money power tyrant] at home, capital will
claim to exercise the same rights abroad, and, what is
worse, will make the claim with success. You cannot
engage the people to arrest capital in the prosecution of
an African slave trade, while they see capital indulged as
kisin a white slave trade in Manchester. You may rail
as eloquently even as Lord Brougham at the cruelty
of tearing negroes from the Gold Coast to labour in
Cuba or Brazil, but you will command no public
sympathy while you u support a New Poor •law that
drives the rustic infants of Devon and Somerset to
perish
in the mills of Lancashire and Yorkshire;
the physical change is equally great, and.of the two
cases the moral cliang: is altogether more favour-
able in the black slave trade. You make' both
blacks and whites wretched, but at least you d 6 not
deprave the former, while you too certainly cor-
rupt the whites. In one word, then, if you
NVOilki engage the people so earnestly and so uni•
versally as is necessary to suppress • a foreign
slave trade, you must rid the country of that
false hard-hearted philosophy which severs moral
and religious feeling from leg,islation and state
policy—you must teach wealth to obey the laws,
instead of
,Placing wealth above them. Let each man s
property, be it much or little, be secure ; but then,
let the rich be taught that they must not em-
ploy their wealth to the destruction of that com-
munity which protects them—be taught, in short,
that society does not exist to make the rich richer,
and the poor consequently poorer, but to equalise,
.and in equalising to improve, the condition of all, as.
far as is possible consistently with justice, that is,
With securing to each the fruit of his own or his an-
Nina; 3.S s' labour. Before we can venture this outrage
