STATE OF TRADE, MANUFACTURES, &c.

Not even the lawless state of the manufacturing districts
during the past week has been able to check materially the
improved business which we have had recently to notice
in our Cotton Market. Up to Friday last about 36,460
bales had been sold, (including 11,250 on speculation, and
2+200 for export,) in many instances at advanced rates ; and
although the active demand which had existed in the previous
portion of the week was somewhat diminished towards the
latter part, the market closed with a firm and healthy tone.
On Saturday the business done was trifling, the sales
amounting to 2,600 bales only, which were taken by the
trade. Prices remained, however, firm.
Yesterday the demand was increased, and better prices
were paid than have been realized since the late arrival. The
sales may be estimated at fully 4,000 bales, the whole to the
trade.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts—strange to
say !- wive similar cheering indications ; and, notwithstand-
ing the confusion created by the turn-out workmen, the bu-
siueo done and the aPlrit displayed last week more than

fulfil our previous anticipations. The holders of manufactured
Cotton goods appear determined to keep back their stocks
for higher prices ; in fact, it is evident that, even in the pre-
sent distracted state of the manufacturing districts, all doubt
of an approaching beneficial trade has vanished, and that
immediately upon the restoration of tranquility, a large
business will be done, and ample employment afforded for
the working population.

O'CONNELL AND THE JESUITS.

" The greatest blow ever yet inflicted upon religion was
the suppression of the order of the Jesuits, and accordingly
a bitter punishment has followed upon the nations that com-
mitted that crime. They have been punished with the seve-
rity of a scourge of iron, and tears of blood would hardly
atone for the crime which they thus committed against them-
selves ; they were abandoned to themselves, I think I may
without profaneness say it, by the just anger of the Deity !
But here they are again!! the Jesuits again ! I remember
the time when a man would have been knocked down who
ventured to call out ' Hurrah for the Jesuits!' " (The meet-
ing here gave three cheers for the Jesuits.)—D. O'Connell,
