IRE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1853.

of noinceiers a very beautiful one is made of white
eachetnire, hot-4 all round with pink velvet of five
different widths. A mantille, covered with four rows of
pant d'Angieterre, separated by ruches of narrow white
satin ribbon. A velvet mantelet, in the form of a shawl
behind, low.; square ends in front. This tnanteau is
trimmed with three rows of wide guipure, surmounted by
a ruche of black satin ribbon. An echope-mantelet of
coloured velvet, trimmed with five rows of stamped velvet
galon, and rich wide lace.
A decided effort is being made to produce some altera-
tion in the form of sleeves ; short sleeves are mostly
houffantes. The bodies Louis XV., Niobe ala vierge,
and simple round, are all much worn. The puritaine
body is fastened with buttons composed half of passemen-
terie and half velvet. The sleeves fit at the top of the
arm, are large at the bottom, and closed round at the
wrist with a band, but sufficiently long to fall over the
hand as a pagode.
Ball dress of white tulle and taffetas. The body, which
is pointed, is open to the waist both behind and in front,
tne openings being held by narrow bands covered with
gold beads. Three frills on the edge of the body form
revers ; they are slightly scolloped ; one tulle frill is placed
between the two of silk. The sleeve is made to match.
The skirt is of taffetas, with six flounces; three of tulle,
and three of scalloped taffetas. A tunique of white blonde,
embroidered with gold stars, open on the left side to the
waist, with rounded corners, and raised on the right by a
bouquet.—Le Follet.

THE REPUBLICAN SPARROW.—At the Cape of Good
Hope there exists a bird well known by the name of the
Republican Sparrow, and which is named in science
Philaterus Socius. This little creature builds a regular
square. With a number of his congeners it takes pos-
session of a tree, and constructs around its summit an
immense nest, containing perhaps 200 compartments.
Each has his own snug little dwelling, where he lives with
his wife, brings up his family, and enjoys the most absolute
liberty. They are Communists so far as is required for
constructing their common habitation, repairing it, de-
fending it in case of danger, and going in search of pro-
visions. Does any bird display an unsocial, disobliging
di Tosition, he is sure to be visited by a select detachment
of police, who turn him out with merciless thrust of their
strong little beaks, and never allow him to re-enter the
common precincts. Does some felonious reptile try to
wriggle in—a civic guard is formed instantly, and as soon
as the vigilant sentinel gives notice, the gallant troop send
forth a shrill cry, hasten to reinforce the regular garrison,
and almost always force the enemy to retreat before a
mass of threatening beaks, which form a bristling and
impassable blockade.

CHANGED AT NURSE.—A singular case has just been
decided by the Court of Appeal at Aix. Some years ago
a gentleman of fortune adopted a female child, who had
been placed in a foundling hospital when very young, but
had subsequently been claimed by th 3 supposed mother.
This child was educated by the gentleman, and in every
way treated as his own daughter, and by the deed of
adoption became his heiress. When this deed was exe-
cuted the child was described, according to the entry at
the foundling hospital, as the daughter of the woman
with whom she resided at the time of the adoption. A
few months ago the reputed mother was informed that
there had been an error in the identity of her child. The
girl whom she had taken from the hospital was not, it
appeared, her own offspring, and the entry in the books
applied to another. The real daughter, who had left the
hospital and entered into service, not only claimed to be
acknowledged by her mother, but also demanded to be
placed in the position which the gentleman had given to
the other child; and, as neither the mother nor the
adoptive father would own her, an action was commenced
in her behalf, and decided in her favour. Against this
decision the gentleman appealed, and the court has de-
clared that the child adopted by him shall retain her
rights, as the error of indentity had not, as far as he was
concerned, affected the interests of the plaintiff, who
could not be allowed to assume the place of another,
merely because there had been an irregularity in her
description at the time of her adoption.—Galignani's
Messenger.

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—The American accounts received this week
tend to confirm the anticipation of an abundant supply of the
raw material which, for some time back, each succeeding mail
has been fostering. Considering the season of the year, toge-
ther with the long continuance of rains so heavy as to raise
the price of corn, it is not surprising that our market should
be, as it is, somewhat inanimate in most descriptions of yarns
and goods. Yet the general prospects of trade are so good as
to preclude any apprehension of prices becoming much lower
than they are at present ; and hence a good deal of confidence
is found combined with the cautiousness that generally pre-
vails. The principal buyers of yarns and goods continue to be
the merchants connected with India and China ; and we are
glad to find that the letters just received from Bombay and
Calcutta give the same favourable view of the position of those
markets as the previous accounts have latterly done. These
advicei have led to more inquiry for suitable yarns and goods,
particularly the latter, both of which are already well engaged.
ROCHDALE.—We had a thin attendance of buyers on Mon-
day from other places, but two of the resident manufacturers
have purchased rather largely to supply their own orders.
Wool steady, demand regular, and prices firm.
LEEDS.—Last Tuesday's markets, the closing ones of the
year, were well attended in both Cloth-halls, and the demand
for middle qualities of wool-dyed cloths and for " fancies" was
moderately active. A fair amount of business was done in
cloths in the balk state. The market on the preceding Friday
(held on that day because Christmas day fell on Saturday), was
also of a cheerful character. The general aspect of the trade,
all things considered, continues good. The operatives are
likely to have full employment for some time to come.
NOTTINCHANI.—This week having been mainly devoted to
holidays, very little business has been done ; but the appear-
ance of an improved demand for lace goods on the opening of
the new year warrants us in the belief that better things are
in store. The business doing in hosiery goods is very exten-
sive in all departments of this manufacture, there being still
many large orders not yet completed. The price of yarn re-
mains unchanged.

LIVERPOOL GENERAL PRODUCE
MARKET,
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31.

There has been an improved demand during the past week
for Sugar, but still chiefly confined to the refiners, who have
paid very full prices for all working descriptions; the sales
comprise 650 Mids. West India, 3,000 bags Bengal, 500 bags
Mauritius, and 1,000 bags Madras. A fair demand still exists
for Foreign, on the part of the home-refiners ; the sales amount
to 6,000 bags brown Pernambuco (partly new), at from 18s. to
IBs. 3d., and 70 cases ordinary brown Bahia at 17s. per cwt.—
No sales in Molasses.-300 bags St. Domingo Coffee, and 140
bags Bahia, at 41s. per cwt., sold this week.—Rice dull sale,
and only 1200 bags good Bengal disposed of, from 12s. 6d. to
12s. 9d., with 300 bags damaged Arracan, at 6s. to 9s. 3d. per
cwt.-200 puns. Demerara Rum sold at former rates ; the feel-
ing, however, for the stronger descriptions being somewhat in
the buyers' favour.—Transactions in Tea limited ; holders
very firm, and a good business expected at the beginning of the
year.—No transactions in Lard or Jute.—Sales in Tallow limited
to 458. to 455. 6d. per cwt. for Petersburg Y.C.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31.

There has been a fair demand throughout the week ; the
market, however, having been freely supplied, the advance of
*d. quoted last Friday for American descriptions has been
lost. In Brazil and Egyptian the buslnea. I.oa_been small,
prices being irregular, and tending in the buyers' favour.
Surat continues in good request, but as holders still evince a
aooara to realise, the rates of last week are barely maintained.
Speculators have taken 930 American and 620 s.. eat, and there
are reported for export, 180 American, 30 Bahia and 240 Surat.
The aggregate excess in stock declared this day proves to be
about 46,500 bales ; of this the excess, 42,930 is American,
12,570 Brazil, Egyptian and West India ; but of East India,
the deficiency is about 9,000 bales. This unexpected increase
of stock has had a further depressing effect upon the market,
which closes heavily at the quotations. The sales to-day are
4,000 bales.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31.
The markets of the district, usually held on the Saturday,
being this week again thrown a day out of course, we had, this
morning, as anticipated, a very thin attendance of the trade;
yet on the whole we have experienced a moderately fair de-
mand for foreign Wheats from the millers of our own locality,
as well as for shipment to Ireland and round the coast, and
except in some instances, in sales off the quay, the market
closes firm at full prices.—Some tolerable sales of Flour have
been made, but the general state of the market for this article
is dull, and prices scarcely maintained.—Barley, Malt, and
Peas are in moderate request, without variation in value, but
Egyptian Beans are the turn in favour of buyers.—Oats are
held very firmly, but the demand is not active to-day, though
a good many parcels have changed hands in the interval from
Tuesday.—Oatmeal dull, and nominally rather cheaper.—
Indian Corn ex warehouse without inquiry : an arrived cargo
or two have been sold, Galatz at 355., c. f. and i. We annex
