that " They bad at present no means of obviating the

Horsfall) thereupon suggested a remedy for the incon-
venience; but the answer he received back was to the
effect, that he must " direct his correspondents" (laughter)
to put their letters in at 8. 15. instead of 7. 15. in the
evening, so that by being an hour later they would be
duly delivered. (Laughter.) This seemed to him to be
nutting the cart before the horse. However, he looked
forward to a different arrangement. They were anxious
for practical reforms there, whether with regard to Customs
transactions or anything else. Of one thing he was
certain, their Chamber had commenced as practical
reformers, and they would go on as practical reformers.

Mr. BURT, after an explanatory statement, mentioned
that, in accordance with a memorial from this chamber,
Lord Malmesbury bad directed the British minister at
Mexico to inquire respecting very serious losses by mer-
chants engaged in that country, owing to unequal duties
and other causes. His Lordship had complied at once
with the memorial ; but the application of the British
minister had failed in producing any beneficial result. He
now moved that a resolution be passed, thanking Lord
Malmesbury for his attention, and requesting that he
would "adopt such steps as to him might seem desirable."

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.--The increasing cost of production causes
the tendency of value to be still in the advancing direction in
our very bare market for yarns, most descriptions of which
continue to a large extent pre-engaged. During the past week
the Germans have purchased more freely ; and the advices
from China have brought the buyers for that quarter into the
market ; and the consequence is that an additional id. to id.
per lb. is asked and obtained for 16's to 30's reeled water twist.
Warps are rather dearer in some counts, and quite firm in all
others ; the lower ones, however, are kept stationary by the
unprofitableness of converting them into cloth, while the cor-
responding pin-cops are perfectly steady at relatively higher
rates. The medium and finer numbers of cop twist and weft
are again dearer. Indian qualities of 40's and 50's are id.
higher in the latter and about id. in the former, some fair
transactions having taken place in the one, and very limited
ones in the other, since the arrival of the overland mail. The
various-light and fine cloths for printing, bleaching, and dye-
the house trade, continue at- least firm at the COMPara-

tively high quotations attached to them. At first, the Eastern
adviees appeared to check the moderate operations going on in
40-inch shirtings ; but a disposition to purchase the China
qualities has subsequently shown itself, and a few limited
transactions have taken place in the lighter fabrics for India.
The makers of domestics have still to complain of the scarcely
perceptible rate at which improvement is taking place in their
department. It is generally admitted that the tendency to
higher prices has been sensibly perceived to check business
since Tuesday, particularly in yarns.

ROCHDALE.—There was a fair amount of business trans-
acted last week, at prices much t

e same as those previot

ruling. The wool market has been dull ; the manufacturers
buy very sparingly, and for immediate use only.
MACCLESFIELD.—We are at length enabled to report a de-
cided improvement in the demand for silk manufactured goods.

Many of the smaller makers have.more orders than for some

time past ; and, as the stocks on hand were all but ex

brisk, there is a healthy business for the season,
the workmen are employed. The latest accounts received from
America lead us to believe we shall have some considerable
orders from thence in a short time, both for hosiery and lace,
as large sales have been effected there in our goods,
was brisk, with the prospect of remaining so for some weeks
to come. There is no change in the price of yarn

The market opened with much animation, and an extensive
business has been done throughout the week ; prices of Ame-
rican descriptions of the lower qualities exhibit an advance of
id to id, whilst those above middling are id per

earer since

last Friday. Brazil has been in moderate request at former
rates, but for Egyptian there has been a good inquiry, which
having been freely met by holders, prices still continue irregu-
lar, and in the buyers' favour. Considering the limited stock
of East India, the transactions are again large in Surat, which
has advanced id per lb during the week. Speculators have
taken 32,960 American, 390 Pernam, 3040 Egyptian, 220 West
India. and 150 Surat ; and there are reported for export, 8200
American, 940 Pernam, 840 Surat, and 100 Bengal. The sales
to-day are about 8000 bales, of which 2COO are on speculation
and for export. The committee put "fair" American id less

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,
FRIDAY, AUGUST 20.

Besides our usual local buyers, we had several this morning
from a distance in the interior. Good fresh Wheats were in
fair request for consumption, some parcels `•ere taken by spe-

culators, and the value of such qualities was well supported,
while inferior descriptions and out of condition samples were
offered at Id to 2d per bushel decline, without ensuring busi-
ness except to a limited amount. Good keeping Flour was in
steady demand, and several thousand barre

prices; inferior lots sold slowly at 3d decline, but in States
and Canadian sour a good deal was done for the interior and
for shipment coastwise at 19s 6d to 20s per barrel. Beans
steady, the quantity on hand limited, and little at
the way from Egypt. In Barley, Malt, and Pease

present on

variation. Both new and old Oats sold steadily at Tuesday's
currency, but Oatmeal remained dull, and new was again 6d
per load cheaper. For Indian Corn on the spot we had little

inquiry to-day there was, boll
