FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT.

MONDAY MORNING

moceedings of HER MAJESTY and the

d of the year, form a topic of general

interest to most classes

Relieved, to some extent at

least, from the more urgent cares of State, our gracious

SOVEREIGN usually devi

tes a portil

discharge of those more immediately domestic duties. in

the observance of which she shines with so conspicuous a
lustre. On Tuesday last, along with her Royal Consort,
and accompanied by the Maharajah DULEEP Smolt, and
other distinguished Orientals and foreigners, she proceeded
in the Victoria and Albert yacht to the Needles, to witness

the shell and ball practice of the new screw-sloop Arrow.
At a quarter past five the firing commenced, and for some
time it was continued with a very odd singularity of
result. The first shell burst on leaving the muzzle of the

mortar; the second performed a da capo, or repetition of
the same dangerous marvel; at " peal the third" the
light-house people were astounded—the fourth discharged
lowered their flag, and, ere the fifth had "rattled in their
ears," they were fain to hang out a flag of truce and sue
for mercy. The Arrow, instead of being shot " o'er the
house," and wounding its gunner's " brother," had been
shot nearly point blank upon the light-house, and inflicted
on it serious damage. On Wednesday, the annual file
was given by the QUEEN and PRINCE ALBERT to the
work-people, at Osborne, in celebration of the PRINCE'S
birth-day. It was, as usual, a scene of much gaiety, and
the customary amount of good feeling was displayed on
the occasion. Thursday was occupied by PRINcs ALBERT
in laying the foundation-stone of St. Thomas's Church,
in Newport, Isle of Wight. The ceremony was farther
graced by the presence of the BISHOP of the Drocssn and
Lord HEYTESBURY, the Governor of the Island. The day
of the Royal departure for the North has not yet been
fixed with certainty. From an announcement in the
Liverpool. Standard, on whose authority I perceive the
Times and other London journals rely, it appears that the
cent edifice, St. George's-hall,

and the formal ceremony of opening your splendid Temples
of Justice, are not to be graced by the august presence of
HER MAJESTY and PEnecE ALBERT, the absence of
whom will be sincerely regretted by all right-minded
people, and will be rejoiced in by none, unless some small
section of the Cottonopolitan grandees find consolation in
the circumstance.

The parliamentary performances of the season having
terminated, and the mass of the stock company having

retired to the provinces, sou

MANUFACTURES

MANCHESTER.—The market continues inactive, and
throughout the week increased dulness has prevailed.
Considerable caution is exercised by buyers ; those for the
home trade being actuated by a feeling of insecurity until
the harvest has been housed, and the foreign houses, but
especially those connected with the India trade, in con-
sequence of the unfavourable advices thence. Whether
for home use or export, yarns have been less in demand,
and prices may be considered *d to id in favour of the
buyer. For India the inquiry is very limited, whilst the
demand for the continent appears to have been satisfied
for the moment. Manufacturers, who have for some time
had to complain of the advance of yarn, whilst goods
could not be moved up, now see a prospect of better terms,
and until prices assume a more settled aspect, their
operations areonly limited. Goods are very little inquired
for, and prices have a further downward tendency. The
Greek houses, though not purchasing so largely, are still
operating. India goods are dull, and prices continue low.
T-cloths, long cloths, and the better class of shirtings are
more firmly maintained, as are also domestics.

ROCHDALE.—A better demand for flannels, and the
manufacturers are asking more for their pieces to meet
the increased price of raw material. Wool a little firmor,
and the demand steady.

HUDDERSFIELD.—The wool trade' hrs been very
quiet, but rather more has been done in wools than for
some time before.

CAPTURE OF BOMARSUND,

the fortresses of Bomarsund and 2,000 prisoners
_....adered. The energy with which they defended
their position may be imagined when we state that, while
the investment commenced on the 4th inst., the capture
was not effected until the 16th inst. The land forces con-
sisted' of 11,000 men under General Baraguay d'Hilliers ;
and the bombardment by the fleets was conducted by Sir
Charles Napier.
On the 4th inst. the Phlegethon and Amphion, having
taken up a position where the enemy's guns could not
reach them, commenced a heavy fire upon one of the earth-
work batteries, and reduced it in half-an-hour, when the
men landed and spiked the guns.

forces,

have sur

On the sth the Stromboli, Amphion, and Phlegethon
directed their fire against the first round tower and long
fort, in order to distract the attention of the enemy and
permit the land forces of 11,000 men to secure their posi-
tion on shore. The centre wing of the army encamped
for the night in and around a large village at a distance
of two miles from the tower which they were destined to
attack. This tower, from its elevated position, commands
a great portion of the surrounding country; and here
General Baraguay d'Hilliers had determined to make the
first assault, as in the capture of this the key to the long
fort was secured. The small steamships were employed
all day in carrying provisions, ammunition, &e., to the
shore. In the evening the Amphion moored in front of
the battery that had been destroyed, to prevent the enemy
reinstating their guns.

On the 10th the Penelope was placed in a very awkward
predicament. In attempting to thread the passage between
the two islands, she got on shore within range of the long
forts who played on her for two hours and a-half. The
Admiral had at once ordered all boats to her assistance,
and the Hecla and Pigmy came through the passage as
well, to attempt to tow her off. A signal to the Edinburgh
and Valorous caused them immediately to commence
throwing shells into the fort from ten-inch guns, which
they did with impunity, being without the range of the
forts. A little after twelve o'clock the Penelope was
removed from her critical position, the Admiral having
ordered all her guns to be thrown overboard, when the
Hecla at once towed her away.
On the 13th the first round fort opened on the Chasseurs,
as their field-pieces were crossing the valley. The French
now began the bombardment in reality. After half an
hour's practice they obtained a beautiful range, and kept
up all day a tremendous cannonade. By four p.m. they
had silenced three of the guns, and a flag of truce was put
out from a port-hole : they demanded a two hours' truce

NET'S

MONDAYS NIGHT,

WITH little to disturb the quietude which usually
prevails at this season of the year, with no accounts
of reverses from the seat of war except the apocry-
phal report from Russia which no one believes,
and with every prospect of realising the hopes of
an abundant harvest, the money market during
the week has been as favourable as could be
expected, and this has been evident in the gradual
improvement of the public Funds. It is, indeed, a
striking fact, significant of the vast resources of
England, that at a time when we are carrying on
a war requiring vast armaments in two distant
seas, the public securities bear a higher value than
they did for some time before war was declared.
Money also is easier for commercial purposes, and
though the Bank directors have made no change
in the rate of discount, it has been reduced in
practice at least half per cent. during the week.
There have been reports of some failures in the
Corn trade, owing, no doubt, to improvident spe-
culations ; but the amounts are not large, and will
hardly affect more than the immediate creditors.
The Bank returns on Friday again show an in-
crease in the stock of bullion; and the other items,
particularly the public and other deposits, also show
an increase, so that, so far as these returns may be
considered an index of monetary affairs, they are
favourable.

Attention has lately been called to the approach-
ing reductions in the annual charge for the National
Debt, which will form no inconsiderable items in
the future expenditure, and, thereby, in some de-
gree, prove an assistance in future financial arrange-
ments. Within a few weeks the New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cent. Stock will be reduced to Three

shop of Mr. Cross, bookseller, Hamilton-street, where he

The Post-office authorities have announced their
intention to expedite the night mails for the
North of England and North Wales by dis-
patching them three hours earlier. This will
necessitate the posting of TIM STANDARD before
nine o'clock on Monday night, instead of mid-
night, as heretofore; and, in consequence, we
are compelled to request that all advertisements
and communications may be sent to the office
before six o'clock on _Monday evening at the

tage to our northern subscribers in the delivery
of their papers some hours earlier; and to those

the professors of the legitimate political drama may well
be disposed to regard with complacency, if not with envy.

A circumstance,

a little r

.emarkable, in connexion with

these non-parliamentary performances, is the fact, that
notwithstanding their non-legislative character, they have,
in not a few instances, a direct tendency to bring scandals
upon the public institutions of the country. Conspicuous
among the non-parliamentary escapades of the day has
been the pertinacity with which, through evil report
and adverse opinion, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CIIEQUEB has stood by his friend and protege, Mr.
