STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.—This being a holiday week,
very little regular business may be said to be done in the
warehouses ; but the calico printers have been Junking con-
tracts with the manufacturers to deliver for the autumn, for
stocks of printing cloths are too iight to admit them to get
the quantity they require. The commercial news from the
east is very favourable, for their stocks are light, and prices
are advancing, so after this week we feel sure shippers will
operate freely, and we doubt not but we shall have a steady
trade for some time to come. It gives us great pleasure,
also, to know that the block printers are much better off, and
can get work readily ; for what with delaines being so much
in request, and good prints preparing for the next season,
block printers are rather scarce in some districts. 27-inch
66's may be quoted at 4s. 6d. to 4s. lOW., and 72's at
Is. 10qd. to ss. 3d.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had considerably less
business doing to-day, than on the preceding three Mondays.
This is partly attributed to the manufacturers standing out
for an advance of price, which they have failed in obtaining.
The wool market has been extremely dull, very few sales
having been eketed at any price.

BOLTON.—The trade here has rather deadened during the
last fortn4 ht ; manufacturers of counterpanes complaining
that they cannot realize any profits, and the weavers are
again beginning to be stinted in their work. Power-loom
cloths have fallen exceedingly in demand during the last few
days. For muslins and fine goods there is a favourable re-
action, and a fair business doing in them. The trade in
cotton yarns seems dull, for although the market has not
altogether lost its improved state, yet it has become much
less animated. Founderies continue moderately brisk. Bleach
works are less throng than they have been for a few months
past.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have nothing cheering
to report this week. All parties are complaining, in conse-
quence of so little business having been doing.
LEEDS, SATURDAY AND TUESDAY.—BOIII markets have
been much the same as we reported last week. Saturday's
market was what we now begin to call a "fair market."
Tuesday's exceedingly bad. Business has been quiet in the
warehouses. The almost entire absence of American buyers
is much felt : their trade came in very seasonable, at this
period of the year—the transition of the seasons in our home
trade.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY. Wool Market. —There has
been but little doing in wools since our last report, and the
quantity in the stapler's hands is fully an average for the
time of the year. • In prices no alteration. Noils and brokes
continue in steady request, and late prices fully maintained.
Yarn Market.—The demands for yarns continues, and prices
may be fairly quoted a shade higher than some weeks past.
Piece Market.—There is nothing doing to-day to call for re-
mark ; it being the Whitsuntide holyday, less goods have
been made, and as the makers are generally working to order,
there is hardly so many pieces delivered to merchants as
there has been during several weeks past. Prices are very
steady.
LEICESTER.—There has been some improvement during
the week, and some more shipping orders have been received.
Prices remain firm, and upon some sorts of yarn there has
been a slight advance ; indeed, the spinners consider their
prospects as more encouraging than they have been for some
years past, since they are not likely for the future to be sub-
jected to the same unfair competition as that against which
they had to contend tiil Messrs. Clarke, Mitchell and Co.'s
bank stopped payment—a competition which was ruinous,
not only to the spinners, but to the hosiers themselves, and
more especially so, it is feared, to the poor bank depositors.
A number of the glove hands are out of employment.

POTATO TRADE.--Potatoes have been generally advancing
in price for upwards of a month, and notwithstanding the
great proportion are effected by dry rot, now bring from 9s.
to 10s. a boll—a rise of fully 30 per cent. upon the average
of the previous season. The London market will hardly
justify such prices, but as small quantities are daily wanted
here to complete car oes, a higher rate is easily obtained by
the holders.—Perth Paper.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, JUNE 7.—There was
less business done, and prices were 5s to 6s per cwt. lower
than the week before, but there were very few hops to be met
with at that reduction, holders being generally firm, and con-
tident in the present prices. The reports from the hop dis-
tricts are anything but favourable, the fly having now become
very general throughout the plantation. The bine is also
very weak and backward, and notwithstanding the late warm
rains, has made but little progress. Duty called £12,000.
Weighed on Saturday 202 pockets, during the week 97.

IMPORTANT CHANGL IN THE LAW.—Mr. Cottingham,
the Union-hall magistrate, has declared that he never will
punish any man who was present at the battle of Waterloo
for any offence short cf felony. An immense number of acts
of parliament are annulled by this important resolution.
People talk of the omnipotency of parliament, but mark the
ownipoteucy of a magistrate, who, with a sic rob sic jubeo,
sets aside the laws of the legislature and of the land in favour
of a particular class of persons. It is possible that Sir James
Graham may inquire by what right or authority Mr. Cottitw-
ham promises impunity to Waterloo men for .all misde-
meanour, breaches of the peace, assaults, &C. The old-
fashioned notion was, that magistrates were bound to ad-
minister the law without favour or prejudice, but Mr.
Cottingharn proclaims his rule of partiality.—Examiner.
LiAnri,ury OF DIRECTORS.—A case (Bush v. Mettle) was
heard at the Bail Court, in the course of the past week, to
recover from the directors of the Patent Rolling and Com-
pressing Iron Company a balance, laid at £320, alleged to
be due by the company to the plaintiff for work and labour
as an engineer, as well as for other personal services; which
was resisted, principally upon the ground that the services in
question, whatever may have been their extent or value,
were chiefly rendered, not to the company, who were sued as
such i❑ the action, but to other persons, who had the ma-
nagement of the affairs before the company was formed ; and
that, even if the company were liable, the plaintiff had been
more than paid for his services. The jury adopted this de-
fence to some extent, but found that the money paid to the
plaintiff left uncovered a small extent of £3 and some shil-
lings, and they accordingly found a verdict in his favour to
that extent.

THE DEALERS IN " DEVIL'S DUST."—The Morning
Post gives, for the attention of consumers whose interests
alone it seems the policy of the day to consult, the following
acute and veracious observation. And if it be asked by what
the effect is produced, we say point blank that it is by that
swindling system of Free Trade (so called) in certain Manu-
factures, by which the said consumer cheats the labourer of
his hire, while the Devil's Dust man, a cleverer hand still,
stands in the back ground and cheats him.—" Within the
last fifty years all the mechanical appliances used in our ma-
nufactures have been improved incalculably—BUT OUR MA-
NUFACTURES THEMSELVES HAVE NOT IMPROVED. The
steam-engines—the spinning jennies—the " mules"—the
the machinery now employed in the busi-
ness of manufacturing production is incomparably better
than the machinery employed towards the close of the last
century. Our mechanicians, however, are not cotton, nor
woollen, nor silk manufacturers ; and while our mecha-
naclalis and chemists have dazzled the world with their dis-
coveries, the manufacturers, to whose schemes of production
our chemists and mechanicians minister, minister, in turn,
less effectively than before to the necessities of their fellow-
men. Our agriculturists supply better grain, and far better
beet and mutton, than the agriculturists of England supplied
fifty years ago.; but our manufacturers of cotton, of woollen,
and of silk goods supply the world with articles far inferior
in quality to those which were supplied to the last generation.,

TUESDAY 1110R.NING, JUNE 13, 1543

We have before us the _Britannia, and Monte Video
Reporter, of the 11th March,—a paper printed in
English at Monte Video, the capital of Uraguity,—
from which, and from subsequent information received
from the same quarter, via' New York, by the Great
Western, we learn with regret, that, from the vacil-
lated and indecisive, if not absolutely faithless, policy
of Mr. Mandeville, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary to
the Argentine Confederation, the interests, the pro-
perty, and perhaps the very lives, of the British sub-
jects resident in that city, had been (and may still he)
placed in imminent peril. It appears that our minis-
ter, blinded by the representations of the Buenos
Ayrean Government that the accounts of the invasions
and barbarous aggressions of General Rosas on the
Monte Videan territory were mere fabrications, and
crediting, too, Rosa's assertions that he directed the
war against the person only of General Rivera,—had,
after repeated and unequivocal assurances to the Bri-
tish residents that her Majesty's Government (which
had just concluded a treaty of amity and commerce
with the republic) would put an end to the sanguinary
and destructive war carried on by that chief against
Monte Video, passively, and without calling upon
our naval forces there stationed, permitted the aggressor
to approach the very walls of the city, to expose under
them the mutilated corpses of those who had fallen
into his hands, and even to fire shot and rockets into
the town, " not directed against the fortifications occu-
pied by Rivera's soldiers, but on the dwellings of the
pacific inhabitants, amongst whom a great majority
were foreigners, and a considerable number his own
fellow-countrymen." At the date of the paper alluded
to, Mr. Mandeville had arrived at Monte Video from
Buenos Ayres, in order to be present at the ratification
of the new treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation,
concluded in London between our Government and
the Monte Videan Republic ; and the British subjects
resident in the capital had publicly met and drawn up
a representation to him on the " murderous warfare"
carried on against the country by Rosas, and another
to the Commander-in-Chief of our naval forces on the
South American station. These documents (which
we subjoin) were most numerously signed, though
some residents declined to do so, " lest they might
suffer in their property, over which the enemy had
then control, or in the persons of their immediate
connections, residing at Buenos Ayres"
To lIIS EXCELLENCY JOHN HENRY MANDEVILLE, lIER
MAJESTY'S ENVOY EXTRAORDINARY AND MINISTER
PLENIPOTENTIARY, &C. &C. &C.

"The undersigned British subjects, residing in the Capital
of the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay, come before your
Excellency to represent,—

" Ist. That when your Excellency visited this city in the
month of July of last year, and on the conclusion of a treaty
of amity, commerce, and navigation between her Britannic
Majesty and 'this Republic, a confident belief was raised in
the public mind that her Majesty's Government would
speedily adopt measures to put an end to the disastrous and
sanguinary war carried on by Buenos Ayres against the
Republic; which belief arose partly from the circumstance
of that treaty having been concluded, and especially, from
assurances given by your Excellency to several of the British
merchants here resident, that no invasion of this country by
the armies of Buenos Ayres would take place.
" 2nd. That, subsequently, other British merchants,
largely interested, commercially, in the welfare of this coun-
try, and in the attainment of peace, which has been so ear-
nestly desired by its Government, have perused the
official correspondence carried on with your Excellency, and
have reposed their confidence on the strong assurances therein
advanced by your Excellency, that the mediation of her
Majesty's Government would lead to preserve the inviola-
bility of this Republic.
" 3rd. That the publication, in the official Gazette of
Buenos Ayres, of the correspondence which bad passed
between your Excellency and that Government relative to
the mediation, having made us acquainted with the insulting
manner in which the laudable efforts of her Majesty's Go-
vernment were opposed, and also that your Excellency had
intimated to the Buenos Ayres Government that further
measures would be taken by that of her Majesty in order to
procure the pacific navigation of the waters of the River
Plate, whereby our confidence was confirmed in the security
of this country from the threatened hostilities.
" 4th. That, it having been further made known to us,
that your Excellency had been officially informed of the
resolve of her Majesty's Government to put an end to the
war, and that your Excellency was empowered to demand a
cessation of hostilities between the Argentine Republic and
that of the Uruguay, and also the withdrawal of the Argen-
tine troops into their territories should they have passed their
own frontier, upon the understanding that the Government
of the Republic of the Uruguay adhered to the same line of
conduct under the same circumstances ; whereupon your
Excellency addressed a note to the Buenos Ayrean Govern-
ment, dated the 16th of December, demanding an armistice
and the return of the Argentine troops within their territory
the confidence before raised was strengthened into certainty
that the period had then arrived when effective measures
would be instantly put in force, to carry out those expressed
determinations of her Majesty's Government.
" sth. That, notwithstanding all these hpes d execta-
tions, which from time to time have been raised up, as already
stated, we have the painful and grievous evidence before us
that the interference and the positive demand of her Ma-
jesty's government that hostilities must cease, have been to-
tally disregarded by General Rosas, and that this State has
subsequently been invaded by his armies, which in their
march through its territories have committed the most bar-
barous atrocities, and are now laying siege to this capital.
" 6th. That this invasion has already caused a vast de-
struction of British property, which loss to British subjects
has been greatly increased in amount in consequence of the
natural and implicit dependence placed on the various assu-
rances given by Your Excellency, and that the continuation
of the actual state of things is daily producing the most ru-
inous effects, and must lead to severe distress and suffering
among our fellow countrymen and others.

7th. That, paramount to every consideration of loss and
endangered interests is the deep sense of shame and grief
with which we contemplate the disgrace attaching to our na-
tional honour, under such circumstances, after such a decla-
ration as that made by Your Excellency already referred to,
whilst an adequate British naval force is present, and the
acts of the Buenos Ayrean government are a flagrant insult
offered to the British nation.
,‘ We, therefore, most earnestly and most respectfully so-
licit, that Your Excellency will forthwith concert measures

with the oommander.in-ohlef of her Mejestee arld,,f°,ftele
now in this port, to render effectual to their fall ex-- „,t a
benevolent intentions of her Majesty's government espres.
throughout the pending negotiations, and thereby have t.P.`
satisfaction of fulfilling the first ard highest fluty
minister, that of upholding the good faith of her Majesty
government and the honour of our country.

daft Crown and people, occu
that of a conquered rovi py any other position save
the p
ofnce or of an integral portion British Empire! Such an " independence" as
that which is contemplated under the insidious term of
"Repeal of the Legislative Union," cannot be tolerated
by Great Britain, and must be absolutely fatal to the
people, upon whom it is sought to be conferred. It
must be resisted, and it will be resisted, by all the
energies, and the vast power of the British nation.
But how are these to be applied ? In what mode are
we to bring the force at our disposed to bear upon the
object which we have in view ? Are we to rely upon
the arms of our military, or the power of our vast
nay? We say, unhesitatingly, "No .1 Great Britain
has means within her reach more effective than t hese,

as an integral portion of the British empire. She has,
eie,
in a portion of the Irish people, a body of loyal sub-
jects,

efreThe loyal Protestants of Ireland, we believe, could

Would
find it difficult in accomplishing. Nay, we are
not sure that the mere demonstration of the resolve of
the British government and people to place the defence

, ad in the hands of the loyal portion of its own
llithe outbreak which we contemplate. It is much to be
°ut esti°ned whether one half of the very mobs who
" at the
ree bidding of the Irish Dictator, are not
c,,,°e d into their present position; and we are con-
v-ncetl that a large portion of her Roman Catholic
hiltrlr and yeoman,y would welcome with gratitude
upone raiBing of a power in Ireland, and
of Irish elements,
which they could fall back, for support, in an
attempt
to resist priestly intimidation, and the lawless

her defence of the true greatness of Ireland—which is in

argue, in substance,

adoption of an oppoeite eyeteto, the extenision of
the export trade of Great Britain would be almost
without limit; whereas, under a system of protection,
or without it, there could be no hope of any extension
of our colonial trade ! Consent to receive the slave
produce of the Brazils, and Mr. Lawrence Heyworth
predicts a vast increase of British exports; but our
noble Indian possessions, East and West, our Austra-
lian possessions and the Canadas are not worth a
thought ! No extension of our commerce with these
is to be sought, or can be realised. What has ever,
before the age of this eminent philosopher, been
termed " the colonial greatness of England," for the
possession of which every nation in the world would at
any moment lay down millions, is no greatness at all !
Is is nothing in comparison with the advantage of a
tea and coffee-drinking generation being enabled to put
a double quantity of cheap moist or lump into their
favourite beverage !

Really Mr. Heyworth is damaging the cause of the
anti-monopoly people more than all the protestations,
written or spoken, of their opponents.

NEW ELECTION FOR ST. PETER'S WARD.—The
election of a councillor for St. Peter's Ward, in the
place of Mr. Samuel Holme, whose resignation was
noticed in our last, takes place this day. We believe
there will be no opposition, the Conservatives having
judiciously fixed upon a man to whom not the shadow
of an objection can be urged by the Liberals, for in all
these practical points where the knowledge and expe-
rience of Mr. Holme were so valuable, a more able
substitute could not be found,—namely, Mr. John
Stewart, of the late firm of Messrs. Foster and Stewat t.
His name carries with it the strongest claim upon the
constituency of the ward. Mr. Sinclair, who was men-
tioned in our last as the Conservative candidate. de-
clined to come forward.
