MANCHESTER.-MONDAY NIGHT.

CO MMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.—OUr market &girl
the whole of last week may be reported as quiet, with blI
very little inquiry after goods or yarns. In the earl): P3!c
of the week there appeared to be rather more activity,
the purchase of yarns than at the close of the preceding
week ; but it soon dwindled down to indifference on thl
part of buyers, and prices began to give way a little, so
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 mol!"
but these orders are not very numerous. The shiPPII
houses are dull, but hopes are entertained that a g°°:
foreign trade will be done in the fall. The non-arrival of
the Overland Mail has very materially affected transac'
tions in goods and yarns suited to the Indian markets'
and caused no little alarm in the minds of some of °lle
merchants. It is said that some commission houses 1351 a
large orders to execute on account of Indian houses, trier
that they are waiting until the mail arrives' with brim
advices. In goods suited to the home market a Pre'.",
fair amount of business is doing, which is occasional, d
the prospects of an abundant harvest, which, it is hoPs
will materially improve the condition of the operative,s'
and stay all further agitation on the corn laws, and that'
therefore, confidence may be expected to remain nn'
shaken. . _

THE SHARE MARKET.—The business done during 01e
week is on a limited scale, except in some few railo,3l
transactions. The market t,,-day is particularly inanimate'
and all kinds of stock up to this hour are heavy of sale.
RAILWAY EXCURSIONS.—The directors of the *Ai
cheater and Birmingham Railwa are adopting a libe
plan of managing their line. Yesterday morninguPwarfo r
of 4,500 passengers were taken to Alderly and back ,
nine pence each! The people behaved with great PI
prirty, enjoying themselves on the hill side, which the
rectors have rented for the accomodation of those 10'1"
travel by their line of rails.
PUBLIC WALKS.—The subscription to this undertal'
ing proceeds very well. The secretary wrote to Sirrib:
Peel on the subject, soliciting his aid and support. 'O..
terd IT morning an answer was received from the prenata
enclosing a subscription of £l,OOO.

The Queen Dowager was expected at Witley Court leg'
terday. Her Majesty intends to remain some time.
THE KING OF THE FRENCH.—The Times of yestet•
day says " \%e are positively assured that His MajestY
Louis Philippe will reach England on the 9th of nest
month, should no unforeseen obstacle occur.
ANOTHER ISRAELITE ADDED TO THE CHURCH OF
CHRIST.—On Wednesday last the Rev. Moses Margo.-
liouth received a Jew, whose faith stood the test of
severe trials, into the congregation of Christ's flock, b_r
the sacred ordinance of baptism, which he performed 'p
St. Augustine's Church.
BRISTOL DOCK COMPANY.—A general meeting of the,
company was held at the White Lion, on Friday, for
purpose of taking into consideration the propriety °
widening the south entrance lock of Cumberland bola'
The recommendation of the directors to widen the loato
54 feet was adopted. The drawings exhibit a lock of
feet in width by 245 in length, capable of admitting a vest
se of the length of 211 feet above the water-line; 0r.%
237 feet from stem to stern; and with the improveroehue
suggested by Mr. Brunel, by sloping the wall tower
el
top, a steamer of 62 feet can be admitted. Mr. Wits
is of opinion that the cost will not exceed £22,000, iv."'"
to repair the present lock would require £17,000. k
DR. MURRAY AND .REPEAL.—" Pontifical fit
Masses" and solemn Te Ileums were said and sung to
all the Romish chapels in Dublin on Sunday last, Al'rc'
bishop Murray officiating at the Church of the Concept
tion Marlborough-street. Better taste. if not battle
feeling, was expected from the anti-repealing titular.
Dublin Mail has the following brief but appo,,ite
marks on " his Grace's" adhesion :—" Dr. Murray-"f
anti-repealing Dr. Murray—the Dr. Murray who ;
fused to sanction the day of humiliation and prayer-4'1.,
Archbishop Murray who dines with Lord HeytesburY
has now come out in his true colours, and gives the sarLiv
tion of the highest offices of his idolatry to the asitatw-
for repeal, and to the public triumph over justice.'
GRATIFYING CELEBRATION.—Last week the bnIPP/
event of the birth of a son and heir of the Rev. 13. DI;
ning. vicar of Wellington, Salop, was celebrated by
inhabitants of that place with great rejoicing. A codicils,
tee was formed for the purpose of raising subscription
~f
and they expended the amount on the substantialines
life, which were generously distributed amongst the P°°„
Twenty seven sheep wore slaughtered, and given pro
tionately along with two hundred sixpenny loaves, ale,l2ee;
and plum pudding to as many poor families. Two Of
dyed threepenny cakes along with a quantity of tom'
sugar, and cream were distributed amongst poor worneT
and the children in the schools were regaled with bee

&e. A procession was formed, which proceeded through
the town, and afterwards presented an address of coogr.,3d
tulation and regard to the rev. vicar, all the shops ;it,
houses being decorated with flags and banners.
reverend gentleman is intimately connected with the family
of our present post-master, and is no doubt knowli
to
many of our readers, having for some time officiated al
St. John's Church, in this town.
THE LEAGUE AND THE REGISTRATION.—We noticed'
a fortnight ago, in a letter from our Manchester core
_
pondent, the nefarious conduct of the Anti-Corn
League, displayed in the number, and the indiscrimin:;
character of the objections which had been served by tb
hired agents upon the county electors. We have nowl.i;
fore us a detailed statement of their proceedings in thi:e
unprincipled work, so far as South Lancashire (with the
exception of the Liverpool district) is concerned, wbrCb
would be perfectly astounding, did we not know the HO"'
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 :--
