The COMMERCIAL BANK OF ENGLAND.-Ac-
cording to Merchants List the Country Banks
of England and Wales, also of the names OF all
the Shareholders of Joint Stock Banks, as regis
tered at the Stamp-office in March, 1888, we
find the Commercial Bank of England, besides
its head Office at Manchester, had at that time
sixteen branches, viz: at Preston, Burnley' blf-
mingham, Chester, Leel, Burslem, Liverpool,
Blackburn, Ashburn. Rochdale, Shrewsbury,
Ellsmere, Uttoxeter, Whitchurch, Newport and
Ludlow
The bank, we learned last evening, had not
then resumed its operations. We understand
that deputatlOn oil three OF Jne directors were
in London, engaged in endeayoring to make
some arrangements with Messrs. Barnett, Hoarse
and Co. for again accepting and paying the bills
and notes of the bank. On Monday they had not
succeeded in their mission, but We're not without
hopes of being successful yesterday.
1t is now said that Messrs. Barnett Hornet,
Hoarse, and Co. were first alarmed, and induced
to refuse the banks paper; by the agent of the
Commercial Bank of London having intimated
to them that he had heard that there had been
run ON one of the branches of the Bank
1t is added, that this rumor subsequently, pro-
we'd incorrect, and that Messrs. Barnett, Hoarse
and Co. have since expressed their regret, that
acting on information which they could have no
reason to question, they should have thus caused
the suspension of the Bank.
However this may be, it is certain that here
every thing at the Bank remained, up to the last
evening, in the state in which it was on the sus-
pension of payments on Ss turday morning last -

WOOLLEN MARKETS.
HALIFAX, Saturday.-We have again to report
a very poor attendance at our piece hall, and also
to state that if there be any difference as compa-
red with these of the last few weeks, it is more
unfavorable to the manufacturer. Prices rather
dropping.
RocHDALE Flannel MARKET, Monday
Things are not in the least improved since last
market day. The demand is, if anything, slack
for all qualities of goods, and as to prices there
little change; but if any it is in favor of the
buyer. Ga the whole, trade is exceedingly fiat,
and with no immediate prospect of improvement
HUDDERsFIELD, Tuesday. We had again
other very dull market for every description of
goods. There appears to be too many pieces
produced for the demand; and there are some in
fE
the quantity made. This will tell badly against
the operative, but there appears no other alter
native when no demand, or very small, eX-
lists. Prices are a shade lower for nearly all
kinds of goods. In wool no change can be noted.
BRADFORD, Thursday.-The little improve
ment in the demand for piece goods, which we
had to notice last week, has disappeared; the
inquiries to-day being quite as limited any
market day for some time past. Prices, though
wool is something lower, are still any thing but
remunerstive. Scarcely foreign order in the
course of execution. In yarns, there is nothing
new to report; the demand prices steady. Wool
is again lower, with probability of its farther
receding.
WAKEFIELD Wool MARKET.-The demand
for combing woods is unusually slack, and prices
have farther receded, though but shade.
LEEDS, Tuesday.-We had again very linz
tied business done in the halls and there is some
probability that our manufactures will farther

quite out Of the question, and the more especial
ly so, as it is admitted on all hands that prices
do not pay, even reckoning at the present price
of wool. Some of our merchants have been do
ing more this week than usual, but we think this
will not be lasting. a few orders for the east
have been received, but this will only operate in
| a very unimportant branch of the trade.

News FROM CHINA.-The overland mail from
India has arrived, bringing Canton papers of the

elusive From Canton the news is more inter
estIng than important. The Chinese were max

ties with England. They were busily construct
