MANCHESTER.-MONDAY NIGHT.

CO MMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—Our market during
the whole of last week may be reported as quiet, with bat
very little inquiry after goods or yarns. In the early part
of the week there appeared to be rather more activity in
the purchase of yarns than at the close of the preceding
week ; but it soon dwindled down to indifference on the
part of buyers, and prices began to give way a little, and
continued to bear a downward tendency to the end of the
week. There are at present some few orders in town for
twist of midling qualities suited to the foreign market,
but these orders are not very numerous. The shipeil
houses are dull, but hopes are entertained that a goof&
foreign trade will be done in the fall. The non-arrival of
the Overland Mail has very materially affected transac-
tions in goods and yarns suited to the Indian markets,
and caused no little alarm in the minds of some of our
merchants. It is said that some commission houses bags
large orders to execute on account of Indian houses, and
that they are waiting until the mail arrives with further
advices. In goods suited to the home market a pretty
fair amount of business is doing, which is occasioned by
the prospects of an abundant harvest, which, it is hoped,
will materially improve the condition of the operatives'
and stay all further agitation on the corn laws, and thati
therefore, confidence may be expected to remain on'.
shaken.

THE SHARE MARKET.—The business done during the
week is on a limited scale, except in some few raiiwal
transactions. The market t•,-day is particularly inanimate,
and all kinds of stock up to this hour are heavy of sale.

RAILWAY EXCURSIONS.—The directors of the Man•
chester and Birmingham Railwa are adopting a libeial
plan of managing their line. Yesterday morningupwards
of 4,500 passengers were taken to Alderly and back for
nine pence each 1 The people behaved with great pro-
priety, enjoying themselves on the hill side, which the di-
rectors have rented for the accomodation of those wlO
travel by their line of rails.

PUBLIC WALKS.—The subscription to this undertat'
ing proceeds very well. The secretary wrote to Sir It%
Peel on the subject, soliciting his aid and support. Yes-
terday morning an answer was received from the premier'
enclosing a subscription of £l,OOO.

The Queen Dowager was expected at Witley Court Yet"
terday. Her Majesty intends to remain some time.
THE KING OF THE FRENCH.—The Times of pester-
day says " 'We are positively assured that
Louis Philippe will reach England on the 9th of next
month, should no unforeseen obstacle occur.
ANOTHER ISRAELITE ADDED TO THE CHURCH OF
CHRIST.—On Wednesday last the Rev. Moses Margo-
liouth received a Jew, whose faith stood the test of
severe trials, into the congregation of Christ's flock, b!
the sacred ordinance of baptism, which he performed at
St. Augustine's Church. .His Majesty

BRISTOL Docx COMPANY.—A general meeting of this
company was held at the White Lion, on Friday, for the!'
purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of
widening the south entrance lock of Cumberland basin.
The recommendation of the directors to widen the lock to
54 feet was adopted. The drawings exhibit a lock of 54
feet in width by 245 in length, capable of admitting a ves-
sel of the length of 211 feet above the water-line.; Or °l'
237 feet from stem to stern ; and with the improvement
suggested by Mr. Brunel, by sloping the wall towards the
top, a steamer of 62 feet can be admitted. Mr. Brand
is of opinion that the cost will not exceed £22,000, while
to repair the present lock would require £17,000.
DR. MURRAY AND REPEAL.—" Pontifical Biel'
Masses" and solemn Te Deums were said and sung in
all the Romish chapels in Dublin on Sunday last, Arch"'
bishop Murray officiating at the Church of the ConceP'
tion in Marlboroughistreet. Better taste. if not better.

Dublin Mail has the following brief but apposite re-
marks on " his Grace's" adhesion :—" Dr. Murray_ the
anti-repealing Dr. Murray—the Dr. Murray who fu'
fused to sanction the day of humiliation and prayer-411e
Archbishop Murray who dines with Lord. Heytesburr"
has now come out in his true colours, and gives the Wu'
tion of the highest offices of his idolatry to the agitatiod
for repeal, and to the public triumph over justice."
GRATIFYING CELEBRATION.—Lest week the WO
event of the birth of a son and heir of the Rev. B. Bad',
ping, vicar of Wellington, Salop, was celebrated by t.11,.°
inhabitants of that place with great rejoicing. A commit'
tee was formed for the purpose of raising subscriptions;
and they expended the amount on the substantialities ot
life, which were generously distributed amongst the poor'

and plum pudding to as many poor families. Two bnc",
