" Major-General Thornton, having completed the spring
half-yearly inspections of the'resnive companies of the 77th
and 86th reginients, weuld feel himself most wanting in
his duty to the service, as well as in justice to Major
Creagh, commanding the latter, and Major Wilson, com-
manding the former corps, did he not record in this man-
ner his unqualified approbation and admiration of the very
superior state of good order in all respects to which those
two corps have arrived, notwithstanding the great disad-
vantage under which they have so long laboured in their
present quartcrs, with regard to barracks, drill ground,
Eze. establishing so unequivocally their zeal and ability in
command, and refl-cting on the officers, non-commissioned
officers and soldiers of the respective corps peculiar credit,
cehlaity, and honour.

STATE OF TRADE.—We are glad to be able
to confirm ths improvement noticed in our last in the state
of trade. The sales of printing cloth and other calicoes
have this wed: been very considerable; and many buyers
have been anxious to extend their contract for twist, to
which, however, at current prices, spinners have been ra-
ther disinclined. There is still a somewhat improved de-
mand for fustians, and fancy gingham are also in fair re-
quest. The calico printers' likewise are busier than they
have been. Fancy cambrics, &c., we believe are dull ; the
lateness of the spring having operated to reduce the demand
for them. The Manchester houses in London, we hear,
have been very bu.y for two or three weeks past, and in
consequence several, who were in this market about that
time ago, have this week been down again. The pur-
chases for the German markets continue large ; and the
accounts from India are decidedly encouraging. The
storks of goods and twist were/much reduced ; prices had
improved, and there was little dou'it that any thing then
on the way would arrive to a satisfactory market. From
the Brazils, also, we arc informed that the advice. are
somewhat better than fur a considerable time past. A
good extent of business is doing to the United States,
though the present is not the time of year at which the
heaviest shipments are generally made.—marrehestee
