COURT AND FASHION

A CABINET COUNCIL was held at the F. reign Office
on Saturday afternoon, and was attended by all the mi-
nisters.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Oa Saturday, at St.
James's church, London, by the Rev. E. H. Cradock,
the Lord Ribblesdale, to Emma, youngest daughter of
Colonel Mure, M.P., of Caldwell.

GENERAL DAUBENY died at Rome on the 10th ult.
He was colonel of the 80th Regiment, ordered home from
India. The colonelcy of the 80th becomes vacant by his
death. He commanded the 55th for some years in the East.
APPROACHING MARRIAGE.—The Hereditary Prince of
Saxe Altenburgh, a near relative of the Queen of Hano-
ver, is on the eve of forming a matrimonial alliance with
the Princess of Anhalt Dessau. The King of Prussia and
other personages of exalted rank are expected to be pre-
sent at the ceremony.
THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE has been obliged, from a
slight illness, to suspend the hospitalities at Devonshire-
house for the present. It is said that his grace intends
to give a magnificent /Re in the course of next month, to
celebrate the debut of Lady Louisa Cavendish, eldest
daughter of the Earl of Burlington (the heir presumptive
to the dukedom).
INVITATION TO HER MAJESTY TO VISIT HULL.—The
corporation of Hull have adopted a memorial to her
Majesty, soliciting a royal visit in the course of the ensu-
ing season. It is thought that her Majesty will comply
with the prayer of the petition, and that she will pay her
first visit on her way to Scotland in the autumn, when
the annual gathering of the British Association will pro-
bably be sitting.
THE KING OF THE BELGIANS and the Duke of Bra-
bant left Brussels on Tuesday for Berlin. After a short
stay at Berlin, they intend proceeding to Vienna. King
Leopold and his three children are expected in England
on the occasion of the christenine of the infant prince, at
which ceremony the Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia
will also be present.

turn to London on the 27th of May. As her Majesty's
birthday will be celebrated on the 24th of May, no
drawing-room will be held upon that occasion. State
balls will take place on Wednesday, the 15th of June,
and on Wednesday, the 25th of June ; concerts will be
given on Friday, the 3d of June ; Monday, the 20th of

DEATH OF LADY DALHOUSIE.—The ship Monarch.
Captain Arrow, of and for London, from Calcutta, arrived
Off Falmouth on Thursday, having sailed from that city
on the 2d of January, from Sandheads on the 27th follow-
ing, and from St. Helena on the 29th of March. The
Marchioness of Dalhousie, wife of the Governor-Genes al
of India, was a passenger by this vessel, on her return to
England, and expired on Wednesday from exhaustion,
accelerated by sea-sickness. The body of this distinguished
lady was brought on shore in charge of Captain C. B.
Bowie, of the Royal Artillery, and Mr. J. Howard, the
ship's surgeon, accompanied by two servants, and imme-
diately taken on by post conveyance to London, vid
Plymouth.

gether caused the market to be much more difficult to operate
in, and buyers find it by no means an easy matter to place
orders of any extent, although disposed to give an advance
upon previous rates. Yarns are id. to id. higher than last
Week, the largeradvance having been established for Cop Yarns
for home use, as well as for Yarns for India of most descrip-
tions. A steady demand continues for all descriptions of India
Yarns, at advancing rates. For Water Yarns for export,
higher prices are also required. B3tb Warps and Weft for
home use are in steady demand at id to id more. Light India
goods, as well as some descriptions of shirtings, have been in
demand, at an advance, and are very scarce, it being difficult
to get manufacturers to take further orders at present. Print-
ing cloths are in fair demand, and mostly at improving prices.
Heavy roods still keep in the background, and the manufac-
turers do not find their position to improve; for whilst Yarns
have advanced so much as to make a difference in the cost of
the production of domestics to the extent of l-16d per yard, it is
found impossible to obtain any advance whatever. The late
resolution to work short time is all but abandoned, in conse-
quence of the bad faith of some of the parties concerned.—
Manchester Courier.

ROCHDALE.—Strong Yorkshire goods and Dyed Flannels
continue to sell at previous rates. The Wool market rather
dull, and manufacturers only purchase for present uses. Prices
continue firm. The bands in the woollen mills have full em-
ployment, and hand-loom flannel weavers in the country dis-
tricts have more work than they had last year at this season.
The stocks of all kinds of Flannel goods in the warehouses are
low, and the Flannel trade generally is brisker than is usually
the case at this season of the year.
LEEDS.—There has been rather a brisk business for the home
market this week, and low qualities of Woollen Cloths are ad-
vancing in price. The shipping houses are not so busy as they
have been, and generally less goods are delivering to order.
BRADFORD.—WooI: There are but few lots of Wool offering,
and qually indisposed are the buyers to purchase at the rates
now sought, consequently there is more quietness in the opera-
tions of the buyers than has been observed for some months
past. Yarns: For home and shipping there is no change,
either in demand or prices. Pieces : There is a fair amount of
business doing in goods suitable for the approaching season,
and the stocks of goods in the manufacturers' hands continue
limited, and prices firm.

H ALI FAX.—Very little business was done in our Piece Hall,
either in plain or fancy goods ; and there is no noticeable
change in Yarns or Wools. The high prices tend greatly to
check transactions in every department of the worsted trade,
from the raw material up to the finished goods.
HUDDERSIFIRLD.—Business continues good for the advanced
state of the season, but we believe that orders on hand are
mostly for the home trade. Makers continue to be well ern_
ployed. There is a falling off in the demand for low quality
goods, which may perhaps be accounted for; the shipping
houses generally are quiet.

NOTTINGHAM.—We have again to report a very unsatisfac-
tory state of the Lace trade, particularly that portion of it in
which cotton is the only material used in making fancy laces,
as embroidered muslins are now almost entirely used in place
of them. This will partly account for the apparently anoma-
lous fact that Lace Yarns are generally highest when Lace is in
least demand, the Scotch market requiring the same staple for
Muslin goods. A further advance has taken place in most
numbers, raising the price on some nearly 50 per cent, within
a year. Many novelties in point of style are being introduced
by our manufacturers, especially in black and white silk laces,
evidencing no lack on their part in keeping pace with the wants
of fashion. There is no change to speak of worth notice in the
Hosiery trade this week. There is a good demand for Gloves
and Mitts made from the warp frame, a great improvement
having been made in these goods, more elasticity being given
to them in their manufacture.

MAN 9.—Butter has been scarce since our last report, and
there being a brisk demand, all sold readily on arrival, and
many of the dealers could not fully supply their wants, which
has caused nolders to ask an advance of fully 4s on the finest
qualities. Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel may now be quoted
at 100 s to 10.35, and scarcely any remain unsold ; lower kinds
are without much change. Limerick, 94s to 965; Cork fourths,
925; and fiths, 82s per cwt. landed. Imported from Ireland
from the 2nd May to the 7th May, both inclusive :-8,020 firkins,
47 kegs, 281 crocks, 340 boxes, 261 barrels Butter; 49 bales
Bacon ; 8 hogsheals 4 tierces Hams ; and 220 kegs Lard.
