MANCHESTER, March ll.-There is not the slightest
appearance ofany improvement in our cloth market since
Tuesday, and If any chang at all it is an uniavorable
one, as prices have q further downward tendency. One
very extensive mill closes its doors to morrow, and three
or four others, equally large and wealthy, purpose the
same thing next week. Should this take place at least
1000 hands will be thrown out of employment. Twist is
wi hout change in value, but the demand, owing to some
shipments for the north, has rather increased.
BRIsroL SUGAR MARKsr, March lo.-The trade are
still getting with caution, expecting some alteration VIII
take placein the duties. The sales amount to ABOUT Soo

cargo ofthe reliance, from the Mauritus, about 1000 bags
wei sold to one house.
BnADrouD, March 10 We have had but a very u United
demand for piece goods to-day, and unaccompanied ny
the least change in prices. Stocks continue low, and
while this is the case present rates will probably b."
supported. In yarns a fall average business has been
done, but spinners arc still unable to obtain any advance.
Wool appears to be stationary in value. At the great

HAvRE, March 7-CorroSs During the past week
there has been the same disposition manifested on the
part OF holders to run Off their stock, that we previously
noticed, and although they were net met in a correspond-
ing spirit by dealers to the full extent OF the quantity OF
ferred, still the demand has been very regular, and the
transactions have been daily to a fair amount. The
market nevertheless exhibits q languid character, and
prices are rather dropping, but upon the whole no appa-
rent alteration has yettsken place, and we have conse-
qusntly no change to make in our quotations. From the
continued unfavOrable tenor of the advices from Liver.

TIE New CORPORATION The DISPUTED WARDS.
This subject still engages the attention of the pub
lie mind to a very great extent. The latest intelli.
gence we will now give. The Oh, sth and 12h
wards, determine the whole question.
On the subject of the 9Th ward, we are Informed
that Mr.. Charles Brown, who has the certificate for
assistant, means te take his seat. There was no
foundation for the statement that he had abandoned liz
in the belief that he was not honestly elected. This
settles the Sh ward.
The 18th ward assistant is still in doubt. 1t is said
positively, that the elected whig assistant will not
take his seat, in conse quence Of a non-residence.
The 9Th ward stands as it did. After a due inves.
~tigation, it would seem that, according to still legal
and technical rules, the wings for this ward will take
their seats in the new board. 1t is true the inspec-
tors only returned the facts-not given certificates
but throwing aside the returns Of the riotous dis
trict, the other districts are undisputed, and give a
majority to the wings. This will render a new cleo
ton unnecessary.
If all these views turn out to be correct, the new
Corporation will stand thus -
Wings. Locofocos.
Board Of Alderman.
Board 81 Assistants. Z.
On Joint Ballot atie........... III II
This we believe is a fair and candid view of the
whole controversy, giving to the wings the sixth
ward-to the ~locofocos the Sh ward-and dividing
the 18th. In another aspect, it presents a very beau.

EYES LEFT -CoapoRALJ JOHN JONES OF THE MApr-
soSIAN.-1n the "Madsonian" we find some curious
letters dated in New York. Here is a bit Of the last
Attempts have been made in this city, by certain des-
perate and abandoned men to cast ridicule and odium
upon the cause of the Administration by getting up an
nonymous calls for pretended Tyler meetings. These
movements are well understood here to have originated
in sinister motives and for unfriendly objects.
If this is q specimen Of what Corporal John Jones
knows of the politics of New York, he cannot ex-
pect promotion for some time to come. In this city
there are three different centres from which the Pa
triot or Tyler party spring. The Exchange meet
Ing was one-the National Hall meeting another
and the Washington Hall movement a third, and
the Park a fourth, and probably the most popular
and democratic of any. To characterize the last
effort, which made the great fight against the or
ganized clubs, as having Originated in sinister OBJ
ects," is cutting ita little too thick.
We would advise Master John Buncombe Jones ,o
be sure he is always right in the tangled web OF New
York politics, and then to go ahead. The only mis-
takes made in these meetings were first the back.
handed slaps given to the President by Hugh Max
well in the Exchange meeting, and those given tc
Daniel Webster in the two last movements. Such
blunders will be taken care Of hereafter.
Loss OF A PACKET SHIP The fine packet ship
Louis PHILIPPE, Captain Castof, has been cast ava y
within twenty miles Of Montauk Point. All hel
passengers, numbering one hundred and twenty, and
letter bags, have been saved and brought to the
city. She went ashore early on the morning of the
Nth inst, in a northeast blow.
She was Immediately stripped Of her sails and
| rigging, and preparations made to discharge hel
cargo, which will all be saved, but most Of it in q
damaged condition.
She went broadside on, and at the last accoun
had six or seven feet of water in her hold. He
