ARRIVAL OF THE SARAH SANDS.

THE screw-steamer Sarah Sands, Captain Ilsley, ar-
rived here on Saturday afternoon at six o'clock. She left
Quebec on the afternoon of the 4th instant, and in con-
sequence of fog came to anchor a few hours afterwards,
and left finally at seven a.m. on the sth, thus having made
the passage in fourteen and a half days. The Sarah Sands
brings two companies of Royal Artillery. On arrival the
passengers presented Captain Raley with the following
letter :

Near Liverpool, 19th Nov., 1853.

CAPTAIN ILSLEY, SARAH SANDS,

DEAR SIR,—We, the cabin passengers onhoard the Sarah
Sands, have much pleasure in communicating to you our
entire and cordial approbation of the excellent, orderly, and
sailor-like manner in which the vessel has been managed on
the voyage on the part of both master, officers, and servants ,•
and also to express our approbation of the cleanliness and
comfort of the vessel and the general excellence of the inter-
nal management. We unite in wishing you many as happy
and prosperous voyages, and are, yours with regard. (Signed
by all the passengers.)
The Sarah Sands steamed into Birkenhead-dock on
Sunday forenoon, and yesterday morning, the Royal Artil-
lery being ordered to Woolwich, the railway carriages
were soon alongside the ship, into which the baggage was
loaded direct from the ship's tackles; and the soldiers,
with their families, were, in the course of an hour or two,
without the slightest inconvenience, despatched for London.
The commanding officer expressed himself highly pleased
with the arrangements on shore, as well as on board, and
has transmitted the following letter to themanagers of the
Canadian Steam Navigation Company, accompanied by
one from the surgeon, complimenting the company on
their admirable arrangements, the excellence of the pro-
visions, and general liberal treatment on board.
Birkenhead, Nov. 19, 1853.
Gentlemen,—During our voyage from Quebec, the troops
on board the Sarah Sands, as well as the officers and their
families, have had every reason to be pleased with the atten-
tion and accommodation afforded to them, also with the pro-
visions supplied, which have been abundant and of very good
quality.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant,
A. G. BAND WS,
Captain Royal Artillery, commanding the troops.
Messrs. M'Kean, M'Larty, and Co., Liverpool.

Steam-ship Sarah Sands, Liverpool, Nov. 19, 1853.
Gentlemen,—lt has been my lot to cross the Atlantic several
times in charge of troops, both in transport and troop ships;
and I cannot leave the screw steam-ship Sarah Sands, without
bearing my humble testimony to the admirable space allotted
to the men, the extreme height between decks, the means of
ventilation (so necessary where troops are collected in thick
masses), the quality of the provisions, and the general liberal
treatment they have received at the hands of the officers of
the ship, particularly the extreme zeal of the purser, Mr.
Al`lielvie, in catering for their comfort, both in food and
accommodation. As to myself, I have never, in a period of
fourteen years in Her Majesty's service, accustomed to cross
and re-cross the ocean, in the regular tour of duty, been
better fed or put up. I feel greatly indebted to every one in
the ship for their activity and attention to me ; and I trust
that the Canadian Steam-ship Company may again be used by
the Government for the conveyance of troops, feeling confi-
dent, from the specimen of accommodation and treatment
just afforded me, that it will add to the men's comfort and
efficiency.—l have the honour to be, your obedient servant,
ROM'. HASSARD, M.R.C.S. London,
and an Assistant-surgeon in the Ordnance Medical Depot.

TILE EUROPA, British and North American steam-ship,
sailed from this port for New York, on Saturday, with
the usual mails, a fair cargo, and 84 passengers.
OUTRAGE ON PROTESTANTS IN FRANCE.—About a
month since the remains of a Protestant inhabitant of
Chelles, near Compeigne, were interred in the cemetery,
in ground purchased by the family. The religious service
was performed in the presence of a number of Romanist
friends, who listened with the greatest respect. Three
weeks afterwards the sub-prefect of the department gave
orders to take up the coffin privately, before daybreak.
The order was executed, the coffin was dragged through
the mud, and buried near the place reserved for criminals
and children who die without baptism. The churchyard
was afterwards re-consecrated with great pomp ; and, to
add to the scandal, a bill was presented to the family of
56f. for taking up the body, with a threat of law proceed-
ings if not paid. A statement of those proceedings has
been laid before the Consistory of Paris, who have had an
Idience of M. Fortoul, the Minister of Public Worship,
The minister has demanded an explana-
id so the matter rests for the

present

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES,

MA NCH ESTER.—This market continues without any favour-
able change, and though prices remain steady, buyers find
the turn to be slightly in their favour. The turnouts seem as
far from arrangement as ever, but, notwithstanding the con-
siderably reduced production from this cause, the supply of
both Goods and Yarns is fully equal to the demand. The
export houses still continue to restrict their orders within the
narrowest limits, whilst the home demand also remains ex-
ceedingly small. Yarns continue to be purchased, hut to a
limited extent, for the Indian and the German markets, at
about previous rates. For home use the demand is very
moderate, and both Warps and Weft are easier to buy, the
atter more especially. For Goods also there is a very dull
market, prices being alone kept steady by reduced production.
LEEDS.—Business has been brisk at the Cloth Halls,
seasonable goods being in good demand, and a full average
amount changed hands. Prices are firm, and the stocks are
below an average at this period of the year. There has been
more doing in the warehouses than of late, and the aspect of
trade is generally considered brighter.
BRADFORD.—WooIs: There is but little doing in any kind
of combing Wools; the spinners find, at the prices sought,
it is impossible to cover cost, and they prefer their machinery
being idle.—Yarns: The quantity of idle looms having
suspended the operations of the spinning frames, there is no
accumulation of Yarns, and at no period was the system of
total frames stopping found so general as at present.—Pieces :
There is not much doing in any kind of Cloth. In heavy
goods, all wool, such as merinos, the trade is very bad for
the manufacturer, the colt of material operating against
cheap goods being produced.

ROCHDALE.—In Wool there has not been much doing, but
prices have been firm, and the demand is very limited.
HUDDERSFIELD. Beyond a few buyers from London,
Glasgow, and Belfast, the market has been thinly attended.
The transactions have been in winter Cloths, and have been
effected more in job lots than at regular prices. Waistcoat-
ings are very slow of sale, and excepting new patterns in silk
plush, scarcely anything is aked for.—There has been rather
more doing in the Wool warehouses.

NOTTINGHAM.—The Lace and Hosiery trades present no
new features this week, each remaining much the same as
reported for a few weeks past, so far as actual sales are con-
cerned ; at the same time preparations are being made for an
extended business in the home and foreign trades in goods
for the spring. The circular hosiery and fashioned frames,
as well n 3 moat other deacriptiona of frames employed in
producing hosiery goods, are well employed. some inee-
makers say they shall have to atop their machines, as, they
cannot obtain a commensurate price for their goods.

LEICESTER.—Business is still transacted on a limited scale;
purchases are only being made to assist up stocks, as far as
the home trade is concerned, and orders for export are of a
contracted character.

CORN

MARKETS

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 18.—At our market this morning we
had a tolerable attendance of local and country millers, with
whom business to a fair extent was transacted in Foreign
Wheat, at the rates of Tuesday, and we had some demand
for Ireland, as well as inquiry for investment, but in the
latter case at somewhat lower rates, to which holders would
not accede. The sales of Flour were moderate in amount ;
prime Western Canal was held at 37s to 37s 6d per barrel,
Philadelphia and Baltimore at 38s, being 6d per barrel over
Tuesday's rates, at which the trade closed less firmly.
Barley and Beans met a dull sale, and quotations are
nominally unchanged. Oats were in slow rtquest without
alteration in values the market is at present rather bare of
choice parcels. Oatmeal was difficult of disposal, and the
value scarcely maintained. Indian Corn moved off in
moderate quantities for feeding purposes, perfect qualities

not being in such general demand, our full currencies, how-
ever, are obtainable for holding over. By telegraph from
Glasgow, we have New York advices to the 6th inst., stating
that under the influence of English accounts of the 22nd ult.,
the market has advenced 182 c to 25c per barrel for Flour, and
for Wheat in proportion.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 17.—At market this morning there
was a fair attendance, but a languid feeling prevailed. Wheat
ruled steady at late rates. Flour was in limited request, but
cannot be noted cheaper; indeed, many millers were asking
more money. Oats and Oatmeal were neglected, and might
have been purchased on rather lower terms.

PRESTON, Nov. 19.—We have had very liberal arrivals of
Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland this week, but of all other
articles thence the supplies are limited. The trade is well
stocked with American Wheat, transhipped at Liverpool;
but the imports of Grain and Flour direct from foreign ports
are unimportant. The weather has continued favourable for
agricultural operations, and the farmers in this district are
getting their seed into the ground under very favourable cir-
cumstances. The Wheat sown on the fallow land has a most
vigorous and promising appearance. Throughout the week
the trade has been of a languid character, with a tendency to
lower prices. The English Wheat offered at our Corn Ex-
change to-day was in better condition than for several weeks
past, and consequently it met a more free sale, and last quota-
tions were In most cases rather exceeded. Irish and Scotch
unaltered. Foreign in fair request at the above currency.
Flour without change. Fine Oats scarce, and for such id. to
Id. per bushel more money is obtainable. Oatmeal continues
neglected at a further reduction of 6d. per load. All other
articles as before.

WAKEFIELD, Nov. IB.—The supply of Wheat was small,
and there was an improved demand at an advance of from 2s.
to 3s. per quarter for new, and Is. to 2s. for old, on the rates
of this day se'nnight. The supply of Barley was beyond the
inquiry, and fine sold at fully Is. per quarter lower; common
sorts were nearly unsaleable. Oats steady. Beans barely
brought previous prices. No alteration in other articles.

WISBECH, Nov. 19.—We havera;;;;;;;;;aToff-ering
to-day, but only a small quantity compared with other years.
There has been a good demand for all kinds of Wheat at an
advance of 2s per qr. Oats also have been held for more
money, and new Beans make 525., nineteen stone per sack.
CORK, Nov. 19.—Flour has been difficult of sale the early
part of the week, and some was pressed at a slight abatement.
has caused renewed firmness, but consumption being The improved tone, however, of the leading Wheat Markets
re-
stricted by price, there is very little speculative buying.
Foreign Wheat is held for an advance of is over last week.
Indian Corn met more attention, and Galatz sold at £lO to
<€lo lOs per ton. Native produce has all advanced: Wheat,
2s ; Barley, 6d ; Oats, 2d per bushel.
DUBLIN, Nov. 18.—At our Corn market to-day every
description of home-grown grain of good quality fully sup-
ported the currencies of last Tuesday, but inferior Oats and
Barley, of which there was a considerable proportion, met a
very slow sale, and many samples remain unsold.
