STATE OF TRADE

MANCHESTER.—The business of this market has been very
irregular. On the whole, there has been little apparent activity,
yet it is certain some considerable investments have been made
quietly, at a slight advance on the old rates, by some of the
larger export houses, who anticipate an advance in prices as a
consequence of the limitation of production which is taking
place. The advices from the Indian mai kets reported by the
Times express to day (Friday), are deemed unfavourable, and
will doubtless tend to decide the more general adoption of
"short time." As money still continues to be so cheap, it is
expected that the holders of cotton will be firm, and prices will
not recede beyond present rates; manufacturers, therefore.
calculating on the effects of reduced production, are always
asking such advances as must practically stop the operations of
buyers. As there are already symptoms of the speculation in
corn falling through, and the prices of bread

ifs receding.,

the prospects of the home demand for manufacturers are ex-
pected to brighten Stocks of goo's generally, although mo-
derately plentiful, cannot be called heavy. The curtailment of
supply will soon relieve the markets, and in such case higher
prices will become inevitable. We quote to-day's currency as
follows, premising that they are manufacturer's rates; buyers,
however, find it difficult to contract for less, and are reluctant
to concede the demand :-26 inch, 6s reed printers, at 45 6d to

ROCIIDALE.—To-day we have had a dull market, very little
business being transacted, and prices remain stationary, In the
wool market there is no charge, either in prices or quantity'
sold.

lIUDDEESFIELD.-We have had a very flat market to-day, and
as there have been no buyers in the town, it has been equally
bad in the warehouses. Altogether there seems to be a very
unfavourable prospect for the winter.

Lawns —We have this week had very dull markets at our
Cloth Halls; there continues to hitt complete absence of specu-
lation. and the purchases appear to be nearly confined to
purchases to i,rder by houses in the home trade. There are

Now that the shippers are not so f ctive, this branch ()title trade
is less animated, in consequence of which we learn that many
extensive shipping houses have already commenced working
short time. We are glad this prudential expedient has been so
early aden.ted. As the prices current for yarns will not admit
of a pr. fit for the spinner, and the only means to bring down
the price of the raw material, and maintain the price for yarns,
is the course now adopted. and which, we hear, is likely to be-
come general —Piece Market.—The business done is not great
and that chiefly in plain goo !s, such as merinos. Orleans, and
paramattas, which are suited for winter. The shipping houses
are not so busy as we have known them at this period of the
year. _ . .

LZICESTER.—Trade is but dull for the season. The wholesale
dealers are buying very cautiously, and only for present wants.
The manufacturers for the country trade continue to experience
more demand than those engaged in the London trade . the
machinery is, we believe, all employed. In wool little is doing ;
the spirrners 1 uy only for immed zte use, and the staplers are
firm in price, from the conviction that they cannot replace their
stock from the gro. er at lower rates,

Norrtrvonast.—The condition of the cotton stocking trade is
in much the same depressed state that it has been in Outing the
autumn. The drawer and pantaloon and shirt branch is equally
in a depressed state, though there are some shops in Notting

as likely to be the simplest in practise, the best adapted
for the increasing demands of a growing population, and,
the least liable to obstructive interference from interme-
diate claims and interested obstacles. Parliamentary op-
position less dogged and less selfish is certain, than would
greet the Town Council if they sanction-the Bolton plan,
though it would be folly to expect there would be no op-
position. These are a few of the reasons which may be
suggested as sufficient to justify a larger present expendi-
ture in the one case than would be necessary in the other;
and when to them is added the further fact that from one
source the supply is inexhaustible and the other limited,
it is obviously a most mistaken policy not to select the
Bala Lake scheme, merely because it is open to one ad-
verse observation.
The Parliamentry notices, however, must appear in a
few days; and without engaging in the merely personal
questions of engineers and committee, upon which the
Journal has enlarged, one or two independent reasons
may be urged why Mr.- Hawkesley's plan of sending us
water from Bolton should not be sanctioned.
In the first place this plan, as we understand it—and we
believe we are right—is a somewhat improved,. and per-
haps enlarged, modification of one which the same Mr.
Hawleesley projected for the supply of Manchester, in Oc-
tober, 1845, and which in July of the present year was,
upon its merits, withdrawn from a• committee of the
House of Commons. Whether that will suit Liverpool
which was supposed to be inadequate for Manchester, we
shall not determine, though we have a strong opinion upon
the subject with which we need not trouble the reader now.
By this plan, which is identical, nearly, with what is said

tershire. His father and mother he buried in the church
yard 'of All Saints, Huntingdon. In 1820, he took the
degree of M.A., and in 1821 was elected fellow of his
college. In 1838 he took the degree of D.I.-
When he first entered upon his ministerial duties in Li-
verpool, in 1824, there were difficulties for an evangelical
clergyman to struggle against, which now happily, through
God's blessing, have been removed. He, with two more
dear friends—one of whom is still spared to his flock—
stood in a manner quits alone; and surely no better
testimony could be tendered of his simplicity in
nrpaeHno• Christ. than tike crowded aisles of St. Mat-

With respect to Mr. Horsfaill, we are certain that
he will never be placed in the position of compe-
tition for the office of Chief Magistrate fo: Liver-
pool with any opponent. When Mr. Horsfall is
Mayor, it shall not be by any " trick" or " manceu-
vre," resorted to in order to evade the claims of a
friend. Mr. Horsfall would not thank his party
for making him Mayor under such circumstances.
There is a nobler game before him—one in which
we may shortly have to fight. Liverpool may have
to select from amongst her merchant citizens, not a
Mayor, but a representative of her interest's in the
legislative assembly of the nation. Here we shall
have great pleasure in advocating the cause of Mr.
T. B. Horsfall. Such a man need not stickle
for municipal preferments. He has within him all
that is required to render distinguished the cha-
racter of a member of a higher house than our
municipal chamber; and there is not one of his
fellow•townsmen who will not feel honoured in
his success upon such an arena.
As regards Mr. Bramley-Moore, we could almost
assure him of the honour of the Mayoralty ; hut,
much as we value him, we should prefer his waiting
for that honour, for the sake of the benefit which
we hope to derive from his set vices upon the Dock
Committee. We can't afford to lose a good man at
that board for the mere consideration of Mayoralty.

We must not conclude without directing attention
to the two wards which have to be decided to-day.

Mr. Holme concluded his address by again thanking the
electors ; and he shortly afterwards retired from the
window amidst the cheers of the multitude.
We cannot conclude our account of this almost un-
precedented contest without tendering our warmest con-
gratulations to Mr. Holme upon his signal victory over
professed friends and unscrupulous enemies. In fact the
usage he experienced seemed to operate as a bond of
union for his return ; and we are happy to say that among
his supporters was that venerable man, the Rev. Mr.
Lister, Baptist minister, and other influential gentlemen
of the Reform party.

been only the surplus labour which would have been em-

His worship the Mayor has received already the
only meed of thanks for his past services, which the
body, over which he has presided for the last twelve
months, could pay him ; and, in accordance with
our usual practice, we have to offer a few remarks
upon the manner in which he has discharged his
onerous duties. In ordinary cases this is no diffi-
cult matter. It is easy for any journalist, not to-
tally blinded by faction, to give credit where credit
is due, even to a political opponent; and as we have
done so in every previous instance, we shall scarcely
be accused of indulging our political predilections
in noticing the career of Mr. David Hodgson.
From his first entrance upon the dignified office,
which he is about to retire from, Mr. Hodgson has
been the mark of Whig-Radical calumny and spite.
His very features have been watched, and made the
subject of venomous comment. His manner, his
voice, his thoughts almost have begin journalized

and had the additional qualification of being a staunch
supporter of the institutions of the country. Mr. Bennett
had ability and the inclination to devote it to their in.
terests. Mr. El °ruby had the ability but not the inclina-
tion, and had throughout his career neglected their busi-
ness. He was now, however, in the position in which he
should have been originally placed. Mr. W. concluded
an excellent and lengthy address, by exhorting the electors
to do their duty in another year as they had done on this.

Dr. Tattershall, though a forcible writer and an acute
thinker, had not the ambition of appearing before the
world in the professed character of an author. Never-
theless, the persuasion of his friends, and the desire of
the public, brought him into print, though not so often
as, for the cause of Christian literature and of science,
iwe could have desired. Many persons must recollect the
earnestness with which, in numerous speeches at the
Music-hall, the. Amphitheatre, and in other places, ha
defended the principle of religious education against the
Irish system—a system of which we well rememoer him
predicting, that it would be attended with no results
commensurate with the risks of the tremendous change it
involved. Pis addresses at the various Protestant meet-

soreness in his left side, adding that " the police had
killed him ; that he was drunk in Dale-street, and that an
officer had struck him with his baton." He died on Tues-
day last. The house-surgeon at the Workhouse observed
in deceased symptoms of delirium tremens when he was
admitted, and on a pest-mortem examination could disco-
ver no marks of injury on the body. He had no doubt
but that he had died from delirium tremens, brought on
by excessive drinking.—Verdict accordingly.
IRISH SOCIETY.—The anniversary of this society will
be held, we perceive, on Sunday next and following days.
We are glad to find that the interest felt on behalf of this
excellent society continues unabated. Its object, as our
readers are aware, is to instruct the native Irish in the
Scriptures in their own language; and in pursuing so
desitable an object, the society has been greatly blessed.
Numbers owe their knowledge of Divine Truth to the
labours of this invaluable institution. For meetings and
