STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c.

Our Cotton Market, during the past week, has been of an
uninteresting character, and prices, although tending down-
wards, have sustained little alteration. The sales have
amounted to 20,890 bales, fully one-fourth of which have
been taken on speculation. On Saturday 3500 hales were
sold, and yesterday the same amount, in a market completely
spiritless, vet firm as to prices.
From the Manufacturing Districts the accounts are not
improved. The tariff, however, being out of danger, will, it
is thought, tend to give a stimulus to business. There is a
prdspect, too, that, from the improvement taking place in
the American markets, the proposed increase of the duties
levied upon British imports by the government of America,
will not take place. If this be so, and the duty of 20 per
cent., ad valorem, be permitted to come into operation,
there is no dOubt that a good business will shortly be done
to that country. We cannot, however, look for any imme-
diate stimulus to trade from any foreign quarter.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF RAW SILK.—At the Police

court on Wednesday, two respectablyTdressedpersons,Sohn
Barlow Love, and Samuel Brown, were brought before Mr.
Rushton, on suspicion of having unlawfully come into pos-
session of a large quantity of raw silk. The circumstances,
so far as they have yet transpired, were as follows :—lt ap-
peared that a commercial house of Glasgow had, some months
ago, sent thirty bales of Bombay silk to Liverpool, on con-
signment. It was put into a warehouse, and the warehouse-
man deposed to having received it, and placed it safely under
lock and key. A few days ago, it was found that no fewer
than 16 bales of the parcel had been abstracted from the
warehouse. Information was given to the police; the silk
was traced to Manchester, and the two prisoners were seen
together at the railway station, so acting as if it was their
property, or under their controul. It further appeared that
the prisoner Brown had gone to different silk mills there,
where he introduced the other prisoner Love to the princi-
pals of the respective establishments, as having it on sale.
A gentleman agreed to purchase it at a fair price, but sus-
pecting that something was wrong,te paid them only £5 in
part ; and from the information whicA he afforded, the parties
were taken into custody. Brow,n; represented himself as
having been employed merely as an agent in the sale of the
silk. On his person was found a letter addressed to him
purporting to be from an individual named Orr, and dated
Glasgow—to the effect that the silk was sent to him on sale ;
and requesting him, as it was the first business the writer had
put in his way, that he should sell the bales as soon as pos-
sible, and remit the money ; but that as the transaction was a
private one of the writer's own, and not known to his part-
ner, he should address his letter solely to himself—to be left
at the post-office till called for. It is remarkable, however,
that the letter was dated the 26th ultimo; and it was stated
in evidence that the prisoner had offered the silk for sale to
a dealer on the 24th, two days before that date. Nearly the
whole of it was found, and is now at the Police-office. The
property abstracted from the warehouse was estimated to be
worth about £1,200 ; and it appealed that the original
packages had been cut open, and the silk re-packed in rather
larger bales. Further evidence being expected in a few days,
the prisoners were remanded until to-morrow (Saturday.)

AND BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETY

Established according to Act of Parliament, Sixth and

Seventh William the Fourth.
THE popularity which well-conducted Building Societies
have acquired, is of itself a sufficient inducement for an
increase in the number.

Taking into consideration the safe and profitable invest.
ment of small or large sums of money, and the saving habits
they inculcate to the humbler classes, it becomes a praise-
worthy object to offer a facility, by means of a new Society,
to parties desirous to avail themselves of the now-proved
advantages, and whose means may not enable Ulsm to take
up Shares in Societies of long standing.
Amongst the many noble Institutions for the benefit of
the humble and industrious, none have higher claims than
Building Societies upon the patronage and support of the
wealthy, the influential, and the philanthropic.

The ii.oyAL WILLIAM BUILDING SOCIETY is commenced
by a few members of the Liverpool and West Derby, and
Lancashire Union Building Societies; and the inducement
has been caused by the extraordinary prosperity of these two
Societies—the former having been established three-and-a-
half years, and realised a profit of £3O upon £2l paid ; and
the latter, two-and-a-half years, with a profit of £ll upon
£l5 paid. Both these Societies have been conducted in a
careful, business-like manner; and as the ROYAL WILLIAM
will have the advantage of being managed by several mem-
bers of both, who are well acquainted with the necessary
details, it is hoped this will create a confidence and induce-
ment to many persons, who may hitherto have been timid
and hesitating, to enrol themselves as members, and partake
of the advantages now felt and acknowledged by thousands.

Mr. SAMUEL HOLDIE,

loudly called for, briefly ad-

dressed the multitude. He first alluded -o the ladies whom
he saw gracing the surrounding windows, and said the smiles
of the fair were ever ready to sustain them in defeat, or to
cheer them on to victory. He called upon. the multitude to
turn round and give three cheers for the ladies. This call
was most ardently responded to. Mr. Holme said Major
Douglas had alluded to the vessel of the constitution, and had
given one reason why she had weathered the storm, but there
was another reason, to which he had not alluded. It was,
that she was now manned by a new crew, and had a com-
mander on board who knew how to steer her. Mr. Holme
congratulated them on the easy conquest which they had
achieved, and said he returned his sincere.thanks to the other
party that they had not put the town to the trouble and ex-
pense of a bootless contest. Considering their relative posi-
tions, the conservative party having many more on the re-
gistry than before, with a change in the corporate influence
wrought by the result of the late municipal election, he
thought thanks were due to them that they had wisely for-
borne to disturb the town with a contest. Yet they had seen
on the walls of the town a placard signed Wiliam Ilathbone,
in which it was deemed necessary to give reasons why a can-
didate had not been brought forward on the liberal interest.
That placard .he might denominate the last dying speech,
words, and confession of the whits, whose Reform Associa-
tion in Clayton-square was turned into a temperance hotel.

Sir THOMAS BRANCKER addressed a few words of con-
gratulation to the assembly, after which three cheers were
given for the Queen, and three cheers for Sir Robert Peel,
when the crowd dispersed.

Sir Howard Douglas, after being declared member for Li-
verpool, dined with a select party at Sir Thomas Brancker's,
He left for London by the seven o'clock train, and a large
party of his constituents met him at the railway station. On
the signal being given for the departure of the train, they
greeted the honourable baronet with three times three en-
thusiastic cheers. Sir Howard was present during the intro-
duction of the corn question by Sir Robert Peel.

The duties upon Barley, Oats, and other grain, are

isting duties are regulated—for instance,

If Wheat is at......

From the above tables it will easily he seen—and
must be admitted by the most virulent of the oppo-
nents of agricultural protection—that the proposition
of Sir Robert Peel is, at all events, a large and liberal
modification of the existing law. Adhering, as we
always have done, to the principle of a sliding scale, we
have never concealed our dislike to the abrupt changes
in'the scale at present in operation. From that source,
we think, has arisen a great portion of the 'frauds con-
nected with its working ; and by the substitution of
the present graduated scale, we feel confident that the

Punch

Wareing Webb, Liverpool

There is only one step they say from the sublime to the
ridiculous : the present is a case in point. Above we have
made remarks after having contemplated some of the works of

the greatest poet that ever wrote ; and now before us, present-
ing itself to view, comes Punch—equally immortal as the great
bard we admit, but certainly not quite so sublime. Pouch,
without exception, is the merriest production of the present
day. There is more whim, satire, and jokery in his three-

penny-worth than in many a magazine at half-a-crown. The
January part contains the almanac—which, per se, is the
some capital pencillings,
