AMERICA,

I 'By the packet-ship Liverpool, which arrived here this
morning, we have received New York papers to the 22nd
ult.

Serious riots took place at Brooklyn on the 20th ult.,
and following days, in consequence of the Irish labourers
having struck for an advance of wages. The men assem-
bled in large numbers, and the military had to be called
out, and were, according to the last advices, actively en-
gaged in quelling the disturbances. About 500 Germans
are now engaeed at the dock•works at Brooklyn, and the
employment of these persons offended the Irish. One of
the Germans has been seriously injured.
The Caledonia steamship arrived at Boston on the 20th
ult., with the important intelligence of the British victo-
ries over the Sikhs. The news from this country was con-
sidered favourable to t,e continuance of peace, and the
amicable adjustment of the Oregon question.
The news from Washington is to the 20ili ult., and is
important. It seems that the House of Representatives
has refused to recede from the amendments to the 0 eeon
resolutions, by a vote of 89 to 64. The Senate refused to
alter the resolutions, and the certainty now is, that the
resolutions giving the notice must either pass in the form
in which they came from the Senate, or entirely fall
through. In either case, the Senate of the United States,
acting in an amicable spirit, will have accomplished a most
pregnant victory over the President and the House of
Representatives.
From Nitxico we learn that General Almonte had ar-
rived at Havana, en route for England. Immediately on

landing at Havana he went to Santa Anna, with whom he
was closeted for several hours. Mr. Slidell had received
his passports, and bad left the country. It is said that
the Mexicans were on the eve of another revolution in
favour of Santa Anna, who was expected daily at Vera
Cruz. A ship arrived at New Orleans, which left Vera
Cruz on the 3d April, reports that on that day the Repub-
lican and Santa Anna party united were to declare against
the government, and it was said that Mr. Dimond, the
United States Consul, had declared that the government
troops were so disposed that they could not act against
the insurgents. Further and more complete adviees from
this qu,rter will therefore be most anxiously looked for.
Two Amrrican soldiers have been seized by the Me • icans,
and thoulh their release was demanded, it was declined.
A letter from an officer in the United States army on the
Mexican frontier says, " Everything betokens the greatest
activity on the oppo-ite side of the river; two redoubts were
thrown up by them during the night, and two more are
constructed to-day. Officers in si lendid uniforms are
promenading on the bank, and the gay streamers of
the lancers are waving in all directions. Our infor-
mation is correct in relation to their forces, &c. ; about
2500 regulars and 600 militia are quartered in the town :

Gen. Ampudia is some two or three days' march distant.
with 3500 or 4000 regulars, and a few militia; besides
these, conscripts are daily arriving, which will probably
swell their numbers to some 7000 or 8000. We have con-
siderably less than 3000 e ffective men."

NEW YORK Corrow MARKET, APRIL 21.—There was
not a sufficient amount of business done to-day after the
advises per Caledonia were received to test their full ef-
fect on the market. Some sales were made at fully de-
cline, and ethers at previous rates. Our quotations must
be considered nominal for the present. The sales for the
last three days amount to 130 bales.

STATE OF TRADE.

MaNrciansTsa.—We are glad to state that the tone of busi-
q ness throughout this week has been decidealy better than for
the last tew weeks, but although there has been a degree of
•skness in the market, it has not been accompanied by any

must otherwise take place. On thit whole, we may say that
things are looking up.
LtstcesTea.—Although there is not rrinCh' mere doing in the
warehouses, there is a more healthy tone giv'en t,-; business; and
the prevailing opinion is, that the point of depttssi.n: is passe.,
Manufacturers have produced with caution, and hencO stocks
are comparatively light. A fair export trade has been done is
fancy hosiery and gloves, though but a limited one for stock-
ings. Yarns are in fair demand, and spinners hi .t at a rise in
prices. There is more doing in wools, and prices rule, if any-
teing. a shade higher.
LEEDS.—A good demand has been experienced this week for
woollens, both for the home and foreign trade, aid several or-
ders have been given to the manufacturers. Hence, as stocker
are generally low, and 11, sanguine hopes are entertained that
additional impulse will be given to our staple trade by the pass-
ing of the free-trade measures of the government, ex.)ectations
are sanguine that we shall have both a good summer and good
winter trade. Prices continue much the same as they have ruled
for some time past.
HECKNONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET.—We have had two good
markets this week, and many goods have change/ hands. There
is not much alteration in prices. The orders tor shipping are
very trifling compared with last year, and what is doing is in
anticipation, for the home trade.
BrtADFoan.—The demand for Combing Wools is on the in-
crease, which may be attributed to the long absence of the buy-
ers in taking their supplies for consamption, which is still of a
d minished order. The supply in this market is only hare. and
enables the staplers t maintain their prices. Y,:rn.—There is
no material alteration in this braneb of the trade since our last
report. The stock of Yarns is generally on the decline, and the
spinners chiefly working to order. and prices very firm with an
upwr.rd tendency.nieces.—There is a steady d..rnand for most
kind of autumn goods, and without alteratLai in prices.
HUDDERS VI SLD.—Trafe is evidently improving here. A fair
amount of goods have changed hands this week ; hut manufac-
turers and merchants act with- great caution—both taking care
not to increase rhea.- stocks.
Ha LI VAR.—The staple tr.ide of this town and neighbourhood'
is rather more active than it was a short time ago. Goods suit-
able for the summer wear are in good demand, and fair prices
are obtained. Wools continue high, which prevents manufac;-
turers reducing prices, and tends to check the demand.
KOCHDALE.—The market was extremely dull on Monday. very
few buyers having attended, but there was no change in prices.
Qaite as little was done in w of as in flannels, and every thing
for the present seems at a stand-still.
HOSIISRY AND Lace TRADES.—The condition of the most ex-
tensive branch of the hosiery trade. the wrought cotton stock-
ings. continues to grow worse; and in Derbyslt re, where it
has in many instances been much better than in this county,
it is now in a most depressed state. The cotton g ove trade is
still in a pretty fair state, a d the hands in general are tolerably
well employed. The silk glove branch has met with a consider-
able reverse, and many of the ho--iers give out their •‘-aterial
with a very sparing hand. The drawer, pantaloon. and shirt
branch is. if anything, a shade better. The silk hose trade if
still in a very depressed state. The fancy bobbin-net trade is
con idered by most persons engaged as being worse than ever:
however, in some few quarters there is a slight stir, which is
more than counter- balanced by a want of derna.A in other
places. The cotton warp- lace trade is still I'. a most depressed
condition, very few r.l the hands having more than half work.
and even that is very precarious. The silk blond trade, or ra-
ther the remnant of that once important manufacture, is a little
better. arid will probanly remain so during th.' summer months.
At Leicester some considerable improvements have h eft made
in the construction, as well as in the t roductions of this most
extensive (in its powers) of all machines.
