CONTEMPORARY PRESS.

A BUTTON FOR REPEAL.
(From Me Examiner.)
At a meeting of the Dublin Repeal Association this
important document was read :

" Ballyknock Cottage, near Tandragree,
Sept. 27, 1840.
" Count Fane de Salis requests Mr. Ark ins will make him
a coat, waistcoat, and trousers, of the grey cloth, and mixed
ditto for trousers, recommended by Mr. O'Connell ; coat
with velvet collar and repeal buttons. His height is six feet,
and very slender."
If this will not carry repeal, it is hard to say what
will, But what can be the meaning of " repeal but-
tons ?" Repeal has nothing to do with buttons. But-
tons belong to union. Repeal disjoins, buttons con-
join. Repeal is the very antithesis to buttons. Re-
pealers should abjure buttons, ay, and hooks and eyes
too. Why should the right side of the coat be con-
nected with the left ? why should the coat be united
with the breeches ? Why should there be any more
united garments than united kingdoms ? Why should
the breeches be disgracefully suspended, lake a male-
factor, by the braces ? Justice to breeches ! Justice to
breech k•should be the cry. The dress representa-
tive-of:1441 principles should be the ancient hien-

SPLENDID COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS
AT THE ADELPHI HOTEL.
ATR. JOSEPH PEEL, from London. begs mos iiespect-
fully.to inform the Nobility and Gentry iverpool
and its vicinity, that he has received, in ad ion to those
Pictures already on view, " The Standard arer," by Ve-
lasquez—a gem of art of that great m r. It is in most
excellent condition, and is well worthy nspection. Also,
Saint Cecilia, by Domenichino. A rilliant production,
full of expression.
A Female Head, by E. Serani, painted with all the deli-
cacy and finish of Carlo Dolci, and replete with colour, equal
to Guido's best works.

A Portrait of baWov a, painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence.
One of his best efforts.

A Female Portrait, by Bronzino ; a rare and genuine pic-
ture of that celebrated master in the early school.
A Sea View, by Backhuysen ; one of the masterpieces by
that great sea painter. This picture is well worthy the at-
tention of any collector of the Flemish schools.
A pair of very fine Views in Venice, by Canaletto, painted
in his best manner. They are interesting compositions.
A Landscape, by Wynauts ; not to be surpassed for qua-
lity and purity by any one of the most esteemed and talented
artists.

Mr. PEEL has, besides the above, many other Paintings
of great merit, all of which he feels convinced will highly
gratify those Gentlemen who honour him with a visit. In
price and quality he is confident he can give the utmost sa-
tisfaction.

STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER.—There was no material change in the
appearance of the market on Tuesday. The demand for
yarns continued about the same as for some weeks past, with
a slight tendency to a decline in prices. Goods of all kinds,
with the exception of the best 27-inch power-loom printing
cloth, which was in moderate demand, were extremely flat,
and in many instances a reduction of 11d. to 3d. per piece
was submitted to in order to effect sales.

ROCHDALE.—There was on Monday a tolerably fair de-
mand for flannels ; but the manufacturers complain at the
low prices given for their goods. In the wool market no
change of prices to report, and the demand continues steady.
HUDDERS'FIELD.—Business continues very brisk in nearly
every description of goods peculiar to this market. Heavy
woollens especially are in great request, and almost all sorts
of fancy goods meet with ready sale. Prices remain much
the same. In wools the demand is steady, with a slight
upward tendency in prices. A fair autumn trade is doing in
the warehouses; and the operatives are generally employed.
The fine weather has operated favourably for all parties.
LEICESTER.—There is a steady demand for worsted ho-
siery for the home market, principally for the low and mid-
dle qualities. The workmen are now in full employment,
and the prospects for the autumn trade are such as, we hope,
will ensure them a continuance of it. Yarn remains without
alteration. The wool market is firm, and some descriptions
of wool command a trifling advance. The sales of foreign
wool in London, which terminated on Wednesday last, con-
sisting of from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, went off briskly at
from 2d. to 3d. per lb. advance on the prices of the August
sales.—Leicester chronicle.
NOTTINGHAM.-It is exceedingly gratifying to us to he
able to state, that the staple trade of Nottingham has consi-
derably improved, and that there is now a reasonable pros-
pect of the poor framework-knitter being furnished with
employment throughout the approaching winter, though,
we are sorry to say, there is not even a remote probability of
labour receiving more adequate remuneration. We learn,
with pleasure, that the trade of Leicester, Birmingham,
Bradford, Leeds, and other manufacturing towns, is gradu-
ally recovering ; and we hope to be able, in the course of a
few days, to report a decided and permanent improvement
in the various manufactures of the country.—Nottingkain
Review.
THE LEAD TRADE.—A brisk demand has lately arisen
for the article of lead, in consequence, it is supposed, of the
vast preparations which are making in all directions for war.
Pig lead is ranging at upwards of £2O per ton, and a further
advance is looked for, as little or no supply can be expected
from Spain.

MR. BRAHAM.—The veteran Braham, who, three years
since, celebrated his jubilee as a singer on the English boards,
left England, accompanied by some members of his family,
in the Great Western, for the United States, to which place
he had been tempted to repair by pecuniary offers of more
than usual magnitude.

The third series of Colonial Wool sales have just terminated in
London ; the quantity sold was 10,445 bags, and prices have ad-
vanced fully Id per lb on the August sales. The sale closed at fi •m
prices. Owing to the buyers being in London during the last
fortnight, business here has been quiet, but prices are fully sup.
ported, and Scotch Wools have advanced 6d per stone.

TEXAS.

By the schooner Henry, Captain Alden, from Matagorda,
we have a few days later intelligence from Texas. The army
under General Felix Houston, had recaptured one thousand
horses and mules loaded with the plunder of Linnville. The
pursuit of the Indians by the Texians was a hot one. The
savages were alarmed, and were Scattering in every direction.
A force of about 400 of the brave Texians had succeeded in
getting between the Camanches and the mountains, to cut
off their retreat, while a much larger number were pressing
on in the rear, with the ardent hope of cutting them off en-
tirely. Seventy-four were reported to have been killed, and
a number taken prisoners. It was ascertained to be true
that Mrs. Crosby, captured by the Indians at Linnville, had
had since been killed by them.—New Orleans Bulletin.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 15

We apprehend the tightness in the money market has had its
effect upon the nerves of Butter holders, for there has evidently
appeared a greater disposition to realize during the last few days.
Indeed, we think prices may be fairly quoted at as per cent lower.
Pickled -Sutter is at 93s to 945, and nothing doing. The provision
market is just in the most anomalous state, for in the teeth cf
warlike accounts, the prices of Beef and Pork, (the former par-
ticularly) have so rapidly a downward tendency that " Sauve qui
peut" appears to be the motto of the trade. We, however, incline
to the opinion that Pork will rally a little ; but for Beef it is quite
time for it to abandon its extravagant position.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-10-16

FROM. RIO GRANDE

We published on Monday an account of the attack upon
the town of San Jose do Norte, by a body of republicans
under Bento Gonsalves. The following from the Salem
Register gives a few additional particulars :
The town appears to have been surprised at midnight, as
owing to the extreme tempestuousness of the weather, no at-
tack was anticipated. The alarm was sounded, and Colonel
Paiva, the commander of the garrison, sent immediate infor-
mation to the commander-in-chief at Rio Grande, who de-
spatched to his assistance a battalion which had lately come
from St. Catharine's. They succeeded in securing the two
principal forts, fighting bravely, and making several attacks
on the rebels. After a very severe contest of ten hours, with
short intervals, the assailants were finally dispersed. At one
time they were scattered all over the town, in the hope of
making a complete sack, but were prevented by the firing
from the vessels off the place. The government made pro-
vision for life for the families of the troops and citizens
who were lost.

Of the government party, there we killed 57—wounded 111
—missing 42. Of the rebels, killed and wounded some 400.

The chiefs of the attacking- party were Bento Gonsalves,
Crecencio, Teixero and Caribalde—they fled in confusion.—
The victory would have been more complete if a steamer
could have been obtained to transport whatever was necessary
from Rio Grande. .

The same paper contains an official proclamation, setting
forth the urgent state of affairs, and calling upon all the Brazil-
ian subjects in the district, under pain of death for disobedi-
ence, to assemble in the Custom-house-square, and arm
themselves for the safety of the city.—New York Daily
Advertiser.
TEXAS.

By the schooner Henry, Captain Alden, from Matagorda,
we have a few days later intelligence from Texas. The army
under General Felix Houston, had recaptured one thousand
horses and mules loaded with the plunder of Linnville. The
pursuit of the Indians by the Texians was a hot one. The
savages were alarmed, and were scattering in every direction.
A force of about 400 of the brave Texians had succeeded in
getting between the Camanches and the mountains, to cut
off their retreat, whilc a much larger number were pressing
on in the rear, with the ardent hope of cutting them off en-
tirely. Seventy-four were reported to have been killed, and
a number taken prisoners. It was ascertained to be true
that Mrs. Crosby, captured by the Indians at Linnville, had
had since been killed by thern.—New Orleans Bulletin.

Hereditary bondsmen, know you not," z.ko.

THE

AGE OF WONDERS
(From the Britannia.)

" Can such things be,
And overcome us like a summer cloud,
Without our special wonder ?"—SHAKSPEARE.
We wonder what Prince Albert does with his thirty
thousand pounds per annum ! The fears of Mr. Hume
that so much money would lead him into excesses
seem to have been quite groundless. The prince stays
at home with exemplary constancy, and presents an
example of conjugal affection and fidelity which every
young Benedict in the kingdom would do well to imi-
tate. But what can he do with his money ? He has
no opportunities of spending it at home, for there
everything is provided for him ; he has no opportuni-
ties of spending it abroad, for he rarely leaves the pa-
lace except to drive round the Park in the Queen's
phaeton. He is an amateur musician, yet we do not
hear that he does anything for its professors. He is
fond of painting, yet who can name what pictures he
has ever purchased ? He is attached to literature, yet
the extent of his patronage seems to be utterly un-
known. Does he intend to imitate the example of his
uncle, of Belgium, and accumulate stock in every state

of the world, that he may be prepared for all mis-
chances ? Such a course might be prudent, but it cer-
tainly would not be popular. But if our wonder is
great to know what he can do with his income at pre-

_ ...
sent, how much will that income be increased when he
receives the additional £20,000 promised him by Sir

Robert Peel in the event of an heir to the throne being
born ? We admire the prince's domestic virtues, and
the readiness with which he has dropped into the cha-
racter of a good husband ; but we think his happiness
would have been equally consulted had he not been
burdened with an income for which, it is manifeEt, he
can find no means of disposal, at least in this country.
We wonder what Lord Minto could have been think-

mg of when he exposed one of our greatest national
dockyards and the ships it contained, to the risk of
total destruction, for the sake of saving a few shillings
a night to reward watchmen for guarding it ! Fortu-
nately the conflagration at Devonport has only de-
stroyed two ships and damaged a few others, but it
was by a mere chance that mischief was not done,
which it would have cost years of time and millions of
money to have repaired. Again has the " luck" of
the ministers partly compensated for their want of pru-
dence.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER.—There was no material change iu the
appearance of the market on Tuesday. The demand for
yarns continued about the same as for some weeks past, with
a slight tendency to a decline in prices. Goods of all kinds,
with the exception of the best 27-inch power-loom printing
cloth, which was in moderate demand, were extremely flat,
and in many instances a reduction of PA. to 3d. per piece
was submitted to in order to effect sales.

ROCHDALE.—There was on Monday a tolerably fair de-
mand for flannels ; but the manufacturers complain at the
low prices given for their goods. In the wool market no
change of prices to report, and the demand continues steady.
H UDDERSFIELD.—Business continues very brisk in nearly
every description of goods peculiar to this market. Heavy
woollens especially are in great request, and almost all sorts
of fancy goods meet with ready sale. Prices remain much
the same. In wools the demand is steady, with a slight
upward tendency in prices. A fair autumn trade is doing in
the warehouses; and the operatives are generally employed.
The fine weather has operated favourably for all parties.
LEICESTER.—There is a steady demand for worsted ho-
siery for the home market, principally for the low and mid-
dle qualities. The workmen are now in full employment,
and the prospects for the autumn trade are such as, we hope,
will ensure them a continuance of it. Yarn remains without
alteration. The wool market is firm, and some descriptions
of wool command a trifling advance. The sales of foreign
wool in London, which terminated on Wednesday last, con-
sisting of from 10,000 to 12,000 bales, went off briskly at
from 2d. to 3d. per lb. advance on the prices of the August
sales.—Leicester Chronicle.
NorriNnu Am.—lt is exceedingly gratifying to us to be
able to state, that the staple trade of Nottingham has consi-
derably improved, and that there is now a reasonable pros-
pect of the poor framework-knitter being furnished with
employment throughout the approaching winter, though,
we are sorry to say, there is not even a remote probability of
labour receiving more adequate remuneration. We learn,
with pleasure, that the trade of Leicester, Birmingham,
Bradford, Leeds, and other manufacturing towns, is gradu-
ally recovering ; and we hope to be able, in the course of a
few days, to report a decided and permanent improvement
in the various manufactures of the country.—Nottingham
Review.
THE LEAD TRADE.—A brisk demand has lately arisen
for the article of lead, in consequence, it is supposed, of the
vast preparations which are making in all directions for war.
Pig lead is ranging at upwards of £2O per ton, and a further
advance is looked for, as little or no supply can be expected
from Spain.

MR. BRAHAM.—The veteranßraham, who, three years
since, celebrated his jubilee as a singer on the English boards,
left England, accompanied by some members of his family,
in the Great Western, for the United States, to which place
he had been tempted to repair by pecuniary offers of more
than usual magnitude.
