MANC H ESTER.—MoNDAT 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 PaLt
of the week there appeared to be rather more activity la
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, an
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 shiPPin
houses are dull, but hopes are entertained that a goad
foreign trade will be done in the fall. The non-arrival of
the Overland Mail has very materially affected transaa°
tions in goods and yarns suited to the Indian market*
and caused no little alarm in the minds of some of Of
merchants. It is said that some commission houses bal
large orders to execute on account of Indian houses, an
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 or the operatives,
and stay all further agitation on the corn laws, and that'
therefore, confidence may be expected to remain la'
shaken.

Tnz SHARE MARKET.—The business done during the
week is on a limited scale, except in some few rally's/
transactions. The market t,)-day is particularly inanimate,
and all kinds of stock up to this hour are heavy of sale.
RAILWAY EXCUILSIONS.—The directors of the Mao'
.
chester and Birmingham Railwa are adopting a liberal
plan of managing their line. Yesterday morning upvrerl',
of 4,500 passengers were taken to Alderly and back for
nine pence each 1 The people behaved with grearP?"
priety, enjoying themselves on the hill side, which the di
'
rectors have rented for the accomodation of those 109 Y
travel by their line of rails.

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

The Queen Dowager was expected at Witley Court yes-
terday. Her Majesty intends to remain some time.

month, should no unforeseen obstacle occur.
ANOTHER ISR:ABLITE ADDED TO THE CHVELCH OF
CHRIST.--On Wednesday last the Rev. Moses MeV-
liouth received a Jew, whose faith stood the test of
severe trials, into the congregation of Christ's flock, 10;
the sacred ordinance of baptism, which he performed at
St. Augustine's Church..
BRISTOL DOCK COMPANY.—A general meeting of this
company was held at the White Lion, on Friday, for
n, the
purpose of taking into, consideratio 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
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. Brunei
isiof opinion that the cost will not exceed £22,000,
to repair the present lock would require £17,000.
DR. MURRAY AND REPEAL.—" Pontifical High
Masses" and solemn Te Deanas 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 Marlborough-street. Better taste. if not better
feeling, was expected from the anti-repealing-titular. Tile
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 re.
fused to sanction the day of humiliation and prayer-Ip'
Archbishop Murray who dines with Lord Heytesburr"
has now come out in his true colours, and gives the sane"
tion of the highest offices of his idolatry to the agitation
for repeal, and to the public triumph,over justice."
GRVLTIFYING CELEBRATION. —Last week the hale
eventof the birth of a son and heir of the Rev. B. Ba„n.'
ping, vicar of Wellington, Salop, was celebrated by the
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 of
life, which were generously distributed amongst the poor'
Twenty-seven sheep wore slaughtered, and given proP°l'
tionatelyalong with two hundred sixpenny loaves, alerbcer'
and plum pudding to as many poor families. Two hull-
dyed threepenny cakes along with a quantity of tea' -
sugar, _and cream were distributed amongst poor women'
and the children in the schools were regaled with bunt
&c. A, procession was formed, which proceeded throng,'
the town, and afterwards presented an address of conga;
tulation and regard to the rev. vicar, all the shops and
houses being decorated with flags and banners. The
reverend gentleman is intimately connected with the filing)"
of our present post-master, and is no doubt known te
many ofour readers, having for some time officiated at
St. John's Church, in this town.

THE LEAGUE AND THE REGISTRATION.—We noticed'
a fortnight ago, in a letter from our Manchester corre9-
pondent, the nefarious conduct of the Anti-Corn-Lavr
League, displayed in the number, and the indisoriniingq:
character of the objections which had been served• by ale'
now
ge4. hired agents upon the county electors. We have n thie fore tut a detailed statement of their proceedings le unprincipled work, so far as South Lancashire (with the
exception of the Liverpool district) is concernedWljlCll
would be perfectly astounding, did we not know the tett
and their unfathomable meanness. An abstract we give,
which will fully bear out our original statement: For the
sake of perspicuity, we give this in a tabular form : . _

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 9.
We have had a fair supply of Cattle at our market this rnOr.
ing, and prices were about the same as last week.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 9. rd
From Tuesday to Saturday last, the market had a downvgla
tendency, Thursday and Friday were what are called flat
soft days : prices exceedingly irregular. On Saturday, howe"
more business was done, and the tone of the market was son.,
what improved, and again to-day, a livelier feeling yervnt
at
the market, and several holders will not shew their Cotton

the lowest point of last week. 6,0u0 bales have been sold. sve
of them for export. and aso of them on speculation, and
market closes with considerable firmness.
