MA NCHESTER, AUQUsT 22.

The market tef-day has been much the same as it has
been for two or three weeks. The demand for gray
goods continues steady, and in some few instances a
trifling advance has taken place. The instances, aie,
however, so few, that it can scarcely be said that they
indicate an improvement. Purchases have been made
freely, on the supposition that goods were at the lowest ;
but it is a proof of a depressed, or at all events of a not
much amended market, that the demand of the slightest
advance makes those who had before been buxjng
freely entirely suspend their purchases. The usualvde-
mend amongst printers, for cloth for their winter prints,
the Fall shipments, and the autumn sales to houses in the
home trade, will, probably, preserve things in their pre-
sent state during the next two months. The winter
months are generally flat, and the depression will this
year be felt with more than usual severity; for it is not
at all probable that ere the flat season an ices, things will
have adjusted themselves to the altered value of money.
Rich houses, who can go into the market, and buy with
cash, are now doing a fair business, and will continue
to do so; but there are great numbers of houses who
have been so much crippled by the badness of the
times, that they cannot come into the market with money,
and are thus deprived of the chince of doing business.
All those who had a second-rate class of customers are
also at present in a manner excluded from trade, from
ther funds being locked up in debts which it is next to
impossible to collect. In estimating the effect produced
here by the altered value of money, we have therefore
to take into account, not merely the diminished amount
of sales occasioned by prices being lower, but the em-
barrassment which has for a period locked up the
capitals, and put an end to the transactions of all those
who had previondy been doing business to the full
extent of their means.—Cottons are as they have been
for a couple of weeks. Prints rather more in demand,
both for home trade and exportation. Fustian% at a
stand, nothing doing in that branch. Power woven
calicoes are stiff in price, the demand being full as
great as the product.—The early harvest has brought a
number of buy, rs into the market.
While the adjustment to an altered rurreney Is going on, it is
lamentable to think that the working people are stoking lower and
lower in distress and it is greatly to be feared that the dreadful
depression in their wages will reduce their condition so low that
they will become permanent claimants on the parochial funds.

Lima Papers to the 14th of May have been received,
by which it appears that Boman will not loan that country until
evst7s►lng is settled, and in good order. -
Three hundred and ninety one booksellers met at the
last Easter fair at Leipsic ; and two thousand three
hundred and seventy-four new works, written in the
German or in the ancient Languages, sufficiently proved
the prodigious activity with which the sciences ate cul-
tivated. To these must be added Atlases, Romances,
Dramatic Pieces, Musicil Composition, &c. making
the whole number amount to two thousand seven hun-
dred and Forty-nine.

Tue Cosiost Housx.--It is said that the Custom
House is to be completed by Christmas. The new
foundation of the east wing is completed ; that of the
front next the river is almost done. The excavations
and fillings in of the west wing are going rapidly for-
ward. and the ditch has been dug along the greater part
of the no7th front. The foundations of the centre, the
part which gave way, are all finished; and the cellars
and King's warehouse, with the Long Ro.,m above,
will be supported on numerous iro.s columns. The fl ors
of this part of the building, so confident is the architect
in the foundations, are to be vaulted as before, but the
arches are all to be of cast iron. Every part, indeed.
of the new work seems to be of great strenrit.and
solidity. The fiat uniformity of the front next the
river is, we observe, to be relieved by a portico, but it is
yet too little advanced to entitle us to hazaru i conjec-
ture as to its architectural effect.

An affecting story h told in the Moaileur of a young
slave of the name of Zatsa, who was born at Marti.
&clue, and was brought from Guadaloupe to Paris by
her mistress, a lady of the name of Mademoiselle Das-
SWUM The poor creature, who has been in Paris three
years, heard a conversation between her mistress and a
relative about sending her back to Guadaloupe, where
she was again to be sold. She the:4>m took to flight,
and committed herself to ;he protection of an old
colonist whom she recognised in Paris. Her mistress
claimed her, but the case being heard in the Justice of
Peace Court of the second arrondissement, the claim
of her mistress was resisted, and a guardian sprinted
to the iafant.

A grand annual field day of the a Tottenham Archers" ash }bee
on Tuesday last, at the Society's Archery Ground in Tottenham;
on which occasion a splendid Silver Medal, bearing the arms or the
Society, richly chased, on the face, and a suitable inscription on the
reverse, was shot for by the Members; and after a close and well
contested struggle, was won by Mr. J. Fuurdrinkr, of Tottenham,
by a =corky of a single arrow only. The weather proving a-
trenwly favourable, the Ground was most numerously attended by
all the beauty and fashion of the village and its vicinity; and the
field being decorated with streamers and banners, bearing the Arms
of the Society, gave to the whole a pleasing and picturesque appear-
ance. After the termination of the shooting the whole party ad-
journed to the house of one of the Members, adjeinieg the Ground,
w►ere an elegant entertainment was prepared for their reception.
Music and dancing then occupied the remainder of the evening, and
was kept up with great spirit and hilarity until a very advanced hove.
