SHIPWRECKS AND Loss OF LIFE AT DOUGLAS.—On
Sunday we were visited with one of the most violent
storms that was ever remembered in this Island. It blew
a perfect hurricane from the S. accompanied by torrents
of rain. While the storm was raging with its utmost
fury, several vessels attempted to make the harbour, in
_ - _
whit'

a some succeeded, but unfortunately three others
were driven, or compelled to run ashore, upon the sands.
One of these vessels—the brig Delight—first struck S:
Mary's Rock, and sprung a leak, when the crew took to
the boat'and came safely to land. Five of our veteran
pilots,—Edmund Craine, John Younghusband, Jos: Hogg,
Jas. Stewart, and Paul Kelly, put off to render assistance,
and could not get back to the harbour. They were driven
to the sands, and when close to the windward of one of
the stranded vessels, the boat upset. Three of the men
reached the, shore speedily, but the other two—Craine and
Younghusband, were still struggling for their lives.
Craine was at length rescued in a most exhausted condi

Lion ; but larnentableto state, poor Younghusband perished
in the breakers. Had he at first made for the land, he
would in all probability have reached it in safety, but he
clung to the boat with an astonishing tenacity, till he was
utterly exhausted. So dreadful was the raging of the
water. that for any person to attempt to reach him would
have involved the inevitable destruction of both. The
stranded vessels are the Delight, brig, Wilson master,
from Maryport to Dublin with coals ; she is a total wreck.
The Mills, flat. Abraham master, of Liverpool, from
Douglas to Bangor, in ballast. The Anne, brigantine,
of and for Newry, from Whitehaven with coals—total
wreck. Besides the above there is a schooner, Mary Ann,
of Liverpool, from Glasgow to Preston, cargo pig iron,
sprung a leak, and hoisted a flag of distress and came into
the harbour on Monday, and had six feet water in the
hold.—Muni Paper.

MANCHESTE

STATE OF TRADE,

There has been very little change in the

the market for goods and yarn since Tuesday last.
on the whole, the more peaceable character of the re-

, .
ccounts from France, has tended to remove some portion
extreme distrust which prevailed a week ago ; and more
ies have been made for yarn suitable for India, though
believe, without producing much actual business.

aitherto,

the decline in the Liverpobl cotton market, there is not so'great
a change in prices here as might, perhaps, have been exnected.
Whilst stocks and railway shares have fallen decidedly lower
than at any former period during the last twelve months, goods
and yarn have not sunk to the extreme rates whieh prevailed

a fern, weeks ago ; and a return of confidence in the pre,:eryation
of peace, would probably lead to a speedy improvement. We
understand that some exception has been taken to the correct.
ness of our statement as to the rate of insurance demanded and
paid on shipments to the Mediterranean, because insurances
were effected at much lower rates by London underwriters.
We have consequently made some further inquiries, and are
enabled to repeat, that although policies were underwritten in
London at four guineas to .e 4 10s. per cent.,—from 10 to 12
guineas was the • rate demanded and paid in Liverpool. We
understand that the reduction in the hours of labour is still
extending on all sides
ROCIT DA LI

We have had a very still market, and the busi-
ness transacted has been more limiter than that of last week.
In wool there has been very little doing, and prices are merely
nnminnl.

LEEDS

There is no change of importance to note in the
woollen trade this week. A moderate amount of business con-

BRADFORD.—WooI : Notwithstanding all the accounts of
disturbance in France, and the general limited use of Cobourg
wools, still there is no disposition to press sales. The supply
of skin wools, which is now becoming good, and combing
length, does not affect the price. The stock in the market con-
tinues only bare, and contrary to former years, country supplies
are not sent forward, which is accounted for by their being in
the hands of the growers, who are firm holders for prices far
. _
too high V' ' e to ket. Y-

.ils mar.._ .arns : There is decidedly
more
more inquiry for yarns suitable for the shippers ; and contrary
to their expectations the stocks ready spun are reduced to a
lower point than for many years. The mouseline.de-laine trade
is now active, and large quantities are in regular consumption.
The buyers for home use are also more free to buy for delivery,
feeling confident that as soon as the spring trade opens more
demand will operate and b."

wing an increase in prices.—Pieces.
We cannot heir anything particularly different in the demand,
which is not very animated, but quite equal to the quantity
making. •

HALIFAX.—Even if there had been any tendency towards a
better state of trade, the convulsions in the political world
would have checked it. There were scarcely any merchants hi
our Piece Hall on SAtirday, and the French revolution was the
only topic of conversation. There is a slight improvement in
the demand for Yarn, owing to the shippers coming into the
market, and the spinners are firm-in demanding old rates. Se-
veral mills have resumed full time. The stock of deep grown
wools is short, and some sorts inquired for, though the con-
sumption still falls below an average. Prices without varia-
tion.

NOTTINGHAM.—Lace: We are happy to announce tt
foreign trade is very brisk. The home trade, we regret I

ticed from onr last, we fear it is for the worse; as most br
of the trade have experienced another shock of great

ing to increase the want of that
dence which is now so much needed to give an imProve,
in the commercial world.
LEICESTER.—The worsted hosiery trade still continue
very depressed state, and the manufacturers make wi
treme caution. There is no pushing of goods into the m
as they are aware, to make sales, it would be at a ruinous
fice. The cotton branch is more brisk, and one or two
sales have been effected; still, the spring demand has r
taken place, nor are there any shipping orders at present
lieve the market. Worsted yarns are dull of sale, alt
