STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was a slight increase in the demand
yesterday, consequent upbn the re-opening of the canals,
and the re-establishment of the communication with London,
and a tolerable business was done in some descriptions of
cloth for the home trade ; but in other respects, the market
was flat, and prices continue to droop.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 22.
There is no improvement in the demand for flannels to-day,
and the quantity of goods sold is about the saire as that of
last Monday. Iu the prices there is no change. The wool
market has been dull, and the sales limited. The price of
fine wools is rather giving way.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JUNE 23.—Our report of this
market last week was gloomy, and there is little change for
the better. However, it is satisfactory to state, that prices
are firm, and buyers are disappointed who expected to pur-
chase at a lower rate. The fact is, great caution is exercised
in production, and prices have been so low for a long period,
that the manufacturer will stop his works rather than submit
to greater sacrifices. Even if wools fall, prices are not likely
to recede; and should a favourable change take place, a rapid
rise is anticipated. Sales in the hall are not extensive. To
judge of the state of trade, we must look to the warehouses
and shops, where a pretty extensive but almost profitless
business is doing. Wools are heavy of sale at last week's
prices.—Manchester Guardian.

MERCANTILE MARINERS' HOME AND
HOSPITAL.

" These general views are thrown out for consideration and
advice. The only grand principle which can never be de-
parted from is, a home and its comforts for aged, decayed, or
disabled seamen not otherwise provided for. With thankful-
ness will any suggestion be received, and with cheerfulness
adopted to alter and amend any part of the plan. Already
individuals of distinction have expressed their determination
to support the object by every means in their power. When
a sufficient number to form a general committee have signi-
fied their adhesion to that object without being expected to
adhere to the plan as sketched out, they will be called to-
gether, and asked to elect a council or board of management
from among themselves of qualified members."

ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY
INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Oxford Herald.)
THE REV. J. BLACKWELL, B.A.
In the Herald of the 30th ult. we announced the death of
he Rev. J. Blackwell, B.A. of Jesus College. We have
since been favoured with the following account of the de-
ceased by a gentleman in this University:—ln 1823, Mr.
Blackwell was presented to the Rectory of Manerdivy, by
Lord Brougham, then Lord High Chancellor of England.
The living was given him without any application on the part
of Mr. Blackwell. His lordship, ever ready to patronize
men distinguished for their talents, having heard of Mr.
Blackwell's fame as a Welsh scholar, and also of his being an
able, eloquent, and powerful preacher, was delighted in
having it in his power to confer this benefice upon him. On
receiving the presentation, Mr. Blackwell wrote an excellent
letter of thanks to Lord Brougham, with which his lord-
ship was so pleased that he used frequently to speak of
it among his friends with rapture of delight. Few
could excel Mr. Blackwell as a letter-writer; and it was
no wonder that shortly after writing to Lord Brougham,
his lordship fixed upon him, and afterwards engaged him, to
undertake the editorship of the Cylchgrawn, a Magazine,
on the plan of the " Penny Magazine," published by the
Society for diffusing useful knowledge. The Cylchgrawn
was conducted with great ability ; and it will remain a lastin;;
monument of Mr. Blackwell's great command of the Welsh
language. His translations from the English are perfect
models worthy of being imitated. They contain the purest
Welsh ; and in them is not lost the spirit and vigour of the
originals. In no modern publication is to be found language
superior as to elegance of style or purity of diction. There
is, it must be confessed, about his style of writing some kind
of witchery that captivates the reader ; a something that
pleases and delights him beyond the power of almost any
other writer of the present day to do the like. Having
formed a clear and correct idea himself, Mr. Blackwell could
convey the same to others in words the most simple, choice,
and appropriate that could be found. His sentences flow
like a strong majestic stream, carrying the reader along with
delightful pleasure. Not only did Mr. Blackwell succeed as a
prose writer, but also as a poet. His national air to the tune
Ar hyd y nos; and his elegy on Bishop Heber are master-
pieces; and if some kind and patrotic friend would but un-
dertake to collect his poetical pieces together, with a selection
from his many prose compositions and publish them, he
would not only be paying a just tribute to his memory, but
also be conferring a lasting obligation on all lovers of Welsh
Literature. Mr. Blackwell was afflicted with long illness,
first occasioned by too close an application to the Cylchgrawn,
which, in addition to his parochial duties, gave him no time
for recreation. Under his heaiy afflictions, however. he ex-
pressed perfect submission to the will of Heaven, and evinced
throughout great christian resignation.

pear that although the priests are sworn to celibacy, yet there
is an evident wish for the society of the gentler " po-t*l of
our sex. The " Corporation of Bachelors" musts verily
have a good opinion of themselves, to imagine that their
society is so very pleasant as to be worth forty guineas
annually. We suppose, along with pleasant walks, " Peter
Dens" and the " Garden of the Soul" will be afforded for
meditation, and the worthy father to confess to—as it is a
sine qua non that the ladies must belong to the Church of
Rome. Will our readers believe that we are acquainted with
the " pleasant" residence, and that we' are in possession of
the name of the priest ? Such, however is the fact :

modated in the house of a priest, situated in a country village

lars apply to R. Lynch, Bookseller, Back King-street, Man-

(From the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette.)
It is not often that we have a subject to handle so full of
gratification to our readers and ourselves as the one which
has this day been brought before us. We allude to a circular
we have seen accompanying a design for the erection of an
institution for aged, decayed, or otherwise helpless merchant
seamen, with collateral objects, of protecting those who are
in employment from crimps and " land sharks," and con-
stituting the whole, not a matter of charity, but a matter of
property—a home and an hospital—a savings' bank and an
insurance office—a right and a refuge for merchant seamen
for ever.
In the circular sketching this magnificent project, the in-
tended institution is denominated " A Second Greenwich
Hospital ;" suggesting the notion that it is proposed to be for
the merchant service what Greenwich Hospital has been and
is for the King's service. We do not altogether approve of
this comparison. The asylum of Greenwich is entirely elee-
mosynary, whereas that of the merchant seamen is to be suf-
ficiently proprietary to enable its inmates to feel the consci-
ous pride of having partly worked out their own comforts,
to the exclusion of those whose imprudence or profligacy has
disabled them from so doing. Moreover, Greenwich Hospi-
tal is in no way cnntributary to the other scarcely less excel-
tnt feature, of protecting the seamen from the Jew and Gen-
tile scoundrels who lie in wait for them at every turn.
As we perceive that the circular very modestly invites cri-
ticism, and solicits suggestions from friends to its benevolent
and patriotic objects, we make these remarks in limine, being
satisfied that under whatever name it may be called, or to
whatever institution compared, the great national results that
will naturally flow from it, and the support which all parties
in the state will be likely to give it, are calculated to insure
for it that success which it so eminently deserves.
We do not know who the parties are to whom reference is
made as having signified their approbation of the scheme,
neither can we offer an opinion as to the plan of raising the
capital for the building by the sale of terminable annuities.
But no doubt the latter will be well considered before it be
acted upon ; and as to the former—agreeing as we do with
Lord Bacon, that " measures without men are dead images"—
we hope soon to see such names advertised as will give the
world assurance of success.
We mean no reflection upon the names attached to the cir-
cular—on the contrary, we happen to know that the gentle-
man signing it has never failed in the public undertakings in
which he has been engaged ; and we anticipate that in this—
the greatest and the best—all that ardent energy and un-
tiring perseverance can effect will be effected.
The following is extracted from the circular :
" PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS OF THE MERCANTILE
MARINERS' HOME AND HOSPITAL. To BE ERECTED AND
PROVIDED FOR IN TILE FIRST INSTANCE BY A CAPITAL OF
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS, SUSCEPTIBLE OF A
PERPETUAL INCREASE BOTH BY PROPRIETORS AND DO-
NORS, OWNERS, AND SAILORS.—The great leading objects
of this national undertaking are, to provide a second Green-
wich Hospital for seamen not in the royal service—to erect a
species of insurance in life against age, illness, or accident—
to offer an inducement, unparalleled in any other country, to
our commercial mariners not to be tempted to enter into the
service of America or other States, where no such provision
is, or can be made—and, in an especial degree, to cultivate
habits of prudence in those who hitherto have been prover-
bially imprudent, by offering them for a very small portion
of those earnings (generally sacrificed to intemperance or to
trickery) a noble institution, food, clothing, and lodging, of
an adequate income to enjoy each; and the whole conferred,
not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of property, being
at once The seaman's refuge and right.'
" All these things are of easy accomplishment. The sailor,
should he live to be fifty years of age, and have paid his
quota of the insurance, may calculate on receiving at least
ten times the value of the amount he has paid ; partly by the
accumulations of compound interest—partly by the deaths of
those who pay but do not live to enjoy—partly by the joint
subscriptions of owners and merchants—partly by the contri-
butions of the patriotic and philanthropic, many of whom are
ardently disposed to assist this institution—and generally
from the nationality of its character and objects.
" In addition to these sources of income and objects of
utility, it is contemplated to add to the profits, and at the
same time protect the mercantile seamen from those whom
he most emphatically and most truly calls ' land sharks,' by
uniting the benefits of a saving bank and a loan institution
to the other, and more important features of the plan.
" It is proposed that a large proportion of the original ca-
pital shall be devoted to th erection of the building upon
some site near the Thames, and that the whole of the pro-
prietary capital, amounting to £500,000 shall be raised by the
sale of terminable annuities for sixty years, at seven per cent.
per annum interest, redeemable at the market price, when
above par, by the trustees of the institution at their option ;
and when the whole are redeemed, or have expired, the en-
tire property to belong to British mercantile mariners, and
their successors, as a home and an hospital for ever.
" It will be necessary in the construction of the building
to divide it into classes ; hence, under the sanction and super-
intendence of the ablest and the best practical men, all dis-
orders will be avoided, and station and position in society
will be preserved to meet the views, as well as to•secure the
comforts, of the occupants.
" Parliament will be applied to for an act, or the govern-
ment for a royal charter to limit the responsibility of those
who may take shares as proprietors. Of course, bequests,
donations, or annual subscriptions, create no risk, and hence
require no protection—the latter it is hoped will furnish a
very large, and constantly increasing proportion of the funds
of the institution, which, in addition to the small payments
by the sailors themselves, who shall in all cases have a lati-
tude of at least two years to make up their deficiencies, will
in time dispense with the necessity of proprietorship altoge-
ther. In 1900, if not before, the institution will belong to
the nation.

EXTRAORDINARY FLOOD IN THE UNITED

STATES.

The Georgian, of June 3, contains a long account of a great
flood which visited the neighbourhood of Augusta and Ham-
burg.

The rain which fell on Sunday swelled the river Savannah
several feet, and the earth having been completely saturated
by the many rains which bad fallen during the last few weeks,
both of its banks were torn up. The Augusta side was swept
clear of its wharfs, only fragments of one or two of them re-
maining. The upper bridge was totally destroyed with the
exception of two piers.

The whole face of the country has been torn up; bridges
and fences all swept away, gardens and crops destroyed, and
great numbers of cattle and hogs drowned.

The total loss in Hamburg will amount to at least half a
million of dollars.

The damage done to the Georgian railroad would for a time
prevent the carriages coming to the depot.

Not one life was lost in this unparalleled calamity.
The rise in the river was 35 feet above low water mark.
(From the Charleston Courier of May 29.)
The cars from Hamburgh brought intelligence that a ter-
rible freshet had caused a rise in the Savannah river, to such
an extent as completely to submerge the town of Hamburgh.
The two bridges were carried away on Wednesday. There
had been no communication with Augusta after the same
date. The cars frnm Charleston could not reach within two
or three miles of Hamburgh. The rail-road had sustained
considerable injury. Horses, cattle, cotton, and every kind
of goods were floating in all directions. During the night of
Wednesday the cries and supplications of the inhabitants
were beard from the hill, and fears were entertained that
many lives would he lost. Disastrous accounts are looked
for from the plantations below, particularly from the rice
fields above Savannah.

The goods from the stores at Hamburg were floating in all
directions. The water rose in a few hours, on the 27th of
May, nearly 8 *et perpendicular. The scene is described as
most awful. The Savannah river has never been so high
since the Great Yazoo freshet of 1796.
(From the Augusta Chronicle of May 28.)
The rains which have fallen in the Savannah in the early
part of this week up to Wednesday, have produced the great..
est rise in the Savannah since 1796, and those of our citizens
who saw that flood say that the body of water is much
greater than at that time. The damage produced on planta-
tions, both above and below this city will be immense,
and the destruction of property incalculable. The grow-
in:- crops have, no doubt, been entirely destroyed. The
damage done in this city cannot be ascertained for some
days. Our city is now an island, and the water on the back
commons is from two to six hundred yards wide, cutting off
all communication with the adjacent country in every direc-
tion. A six-oared boat can pass without difficulty through
several of our streets. Many families have been obliged to
retire to the upper stories of their dwellings, and several
houses have fallen down, having been undermined by the
water.

(From the Augusta Chronicle of May 30.)
The river has continued to rise at a fearful rate. To at-
tempt a description of a calamity so awful would be worse
than vain. About 12 o'clock on Wednesday night the city
was completely submerged, and the river continuing tcrrise.
The scene was a painful one. Many families were still in
their houses, entirely surrounded by a current to them im-
passable without aid, and the water makes rapid inroads
upon them. From this fearful and alarming situation they
were relieved by boats and horsemen, not, however, in
some instances, until they were up to their necks in water.
When the day dawned our city appeared as if standing in the
midst of a vast sea of water, which extended as far as the eye
could reach from the highest eminence. Boats capable of
carrying forty bales of cotton were floating through the streets.
Our beautiful Broad-street was two to ten feet deep. This
morning the water has fallen so as not to flood the city, ex-
cept in one or two instances.
The destruction of private property is great ; many wooden
buildings h lia been entirely swept away, and several brick
buildings have fallen. The cellars are nearly all filled with
water.

(From the Charleston Patriot of May 30.)
The Columbia canal of seven miles in length is supposed
to be entirely destroyed. All the large plantations below us
are covered with water, and the crops ruined. Col. Hamp-
ton's large plantation, which is the highest of any on the ri-
ver, is one sheet of water; the destruction must be immense.
Cotton which had been stowed on high ground was floating
down the canal.

LANCASTER AND PRESTON JUNCTION
RAILWAY.

This day (Friday) the above line of railway, which joins
the North Union line at Preston, and thus forms a continu-
ous line of railway from London to the county town, is opened
to the public for the conveyance to passengers, &c. The day
originally fixed upon was Whit-Monday, but Mr. Locke, the
engineer, was not satisfied as to its being safe', and a post-
ponement of a few days was considered desirable, but the
subsequent falling of a bridge at Myerscough rendered a fur-
ther delay necessary.
Yesterday was fixed upon for the directors and their friends
to make an experimental trip, and in the morning an engine of
the North Union Company, and four empty carriages, went
from Preston—the first that had passed the entire distance.
About half-past eleven, eleven carriages, drawn by two
steam-engines (the " Victoria" and " Prince Albert"), left
Lancaster with an extremely " heavy load," and arrived in
Preston in about an hour. At one o'clock this train was
increased by four carriages containing Preston gentlemen,
and the whole force set off to Lancaster. Upon their arrival
a splendid dinner was prepared, where the directors of the
Lancaster and Preston, the North Union, the Liverpool and
Manchester, the London and Birmingham, and the Grand
Junction lines, several gentlemen of Lancaster and the
neighbourhood, and some gentlemen from Preston, sat
down ; G. Burrell, Esq., chairman of the board of directors,
in the chair.

Every article was served in Profusion, and champagne,
claret, madeira, port, sherry, &c., added their sparkling
charms to the festive board.

Ample justice having been done to the dinner, the four
carriages which had been attached to the train at Preston
were dispatched homewards, and arrived in 55 minutes the
distance being upwards of twenty miles. ,
At both ends of the line flags were floating, and every
bridge that crossed the line was crowded with persons, whose
shouts welcomed the crowded trains. At every gate on the
side of the line a cheer was raised, and at Lancaster many of
the shops were closed, and the day considered a holiday.
We are happy to state that not a single accident occurred to
mar the pleasures of the day, and all passed off to the satis-
faction of directors, proprietors, passengers, and spectators.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—THis DAY,

From the close of our first market this week until to-day,
the Wheat trade was firm, with some inquiry for holding
over and a slight tendency in prices to improve, but without
any actual sales of moment.--Arnerican free Flour, upon a
moderate demand, fully maintained its previous value, and
about 4000 barrels in bond changed hands at 25s 9d.: all
other articles at the same time remaining stationary.
Our supplies Coastwise and from Ireland continuing to fall
off weekly, and having very little produce fresh in thence for
to-day, we have become almost wholly dependent upon Fo-
reign Grain and Flour, of which the arrivals since Tuesday
contain 5200 qrs. Wheat, with a few small parcels of Barley,
Oats, and Pease from Europe ; and from the American States
nearly 1000 quarters of Wheat,and 7527 barrels of Flour, in
addition to the stocks in granary; which, although regularly
disappearing into consumption, are sufficient to serve the
demand for some weeks to come.

In consequence of the weather having been cold and stormy
of late, and thoroughly wet to-day, holders of Wheat required
an advance this morning of ld. to 2d. per 70 lbs. upon the
improved rates of Tuesday ; but having a very slender at-
tendance of buyers, the amendment was not freely or gene-
rally obtained, and the transactions on the whole were by no
means extensive.
