REVIVAL OF TRADE IN MANCHESTER.

The following extracts from the circular of Messrs.
Gibson, Ord, and Company, dated 21st instant, give a
flattering': account of the favourable turn which has at
length taken place in the cotton manufacture :
`• Manchester, 21st July, 1848.

" It is highly satisfactory to be enabled to calf attention
from the depression of many months past to a favourable
change, which, during the last fortnight, has manifested
itself, not only in this, but throughout the manfacturing
districts, accompanied by a generally improved feeling
amongst all classes of our commercial community. This
change is mainly attributable to a revival of demand for
Germany, consequent on the armistice agreed upon be-
tween the confederation and Denmark, and to the pros-
pects we have for an early and abundant harvest, aided,
in a degree, by the confidence everywhere apparent that
this country will not be subjected to the anarchy which
has of late prevailed so extensively in other parts of Eu-
rope, and that the law will triumph over the spirit of re-
bellion so rife in some parts of the sister kingdom.",

" Our home-trade demand has, in the past ten days,
become very large—unusually so for the period of the
year ; giving evidence of the confidence entertained in the
ability of the country to consume. Our export demand
has also been very extensive, much more so than during
any corresponding period for the last twelve months.
China, Mexico, and the Levant have occupied most at-
tention ; for the former heavy purchase 3 have been
effected, and to a large extent for American account, the
low prices for our staples forbidding competition in their
own manufactures; and this should be borne in mind
when comparing shipments to that quarter, in reference
to those of some years preceding. Our trade to the Le-
vant is yearly on the increase, and has already become
one of our most important outlets, both for goods and
yarns."
In all the most important Fabrics an advance in prices
is quoted.
" Yarns : The remarks made on the state of our mar-
ket generally apply in their full force to this article. The
past ten or fourteen days have produced an extent of bu-
siness unequalled for a very icing time, at a progressive
advance."

There is a similar improvement in the Woollen Mar-
kets of Leeds, Bradford, &c. ; and a very cheerful feeling
with respect to the future.

RIOTOUS CONDUCT OF THREE SOLDIERS.-
COLLISION WITH THE POLICE.

At the Police-court yesterday, three soldiers of the 9th
Regiment of Foot, recently arrived here, named John
M`Mahod, Michael Carroll, and (strange enough) another
Michael Carroll, also two females, were placed at the bar
of the Police-court, charged with violent and riotous con-
duct, and with defying the police authority and assaulting
several of the officers.
Mrs. Sarah Birmingham, who keeps a public-house in
Mill-street, Toxteth Park, said that on Sunday night the
three soldiers came to her house and called for some ale,
w:th which they were served, but were very noisy over it.
They got into a room and began to sing a song, upon
which she remonstrated with them on :the ground that
the day was not one in which songs ought to be sung.
They stated that all days were alike to them, and continned
to be very noisy, knocking the floor with their feet. Some
police officrs were called in, and found them so very dis-
orderly that they took them into custody. In going with
them down St. James's-street, a crowd gathered round.
The police-officers were struck by them, and when they
reached the Brick-street Station, a crowd of women,
amongst whom were the female prisoners, cheered the sol-
diers and annoyed the police. Nothing having distinctly
come out against the females, who appeared to be re-
spectable, they were discharged. The soldiers it appeared
had defied all the magisterial or police authority to con-
trol them. A sergeant of the regiment by command of
his superior appeared in court, to learn how Mr. Rushton
would deal with the delinquents. Mr. Rushton finally
said that the evidence against them should be taken in
writing, and that lie should probably hand them over to
their commanding officer either that afternoon or to-day,
(Tuesday), to be dealt with as he deemed proper.

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Derry, (Dr. Maginn),
with ninety of his priests, have joined the Repeal League.
SHAMEFUL OFFENCE.—Yesterday, at the Police-court,
James Robinson, aged about 16, was brought up on a
charge of attempting an indecent assault upon a female
child of about three years old. The case was heard pri-
vately, and being proved, the prisoner was fined £5, or to
be imprisoned for two months.
MAN FOUND DROWNED.—On Thursday last the body
of a man (name unknown) was found on the shore near
Formby Point. He was dressed in a blue pilot-cloth
jacket and trowsers, and on him were found a sixpence, a
penny, and a roll of tobacco. It is supposed that he had
been in the water about five weeks.
