8 HUDDERSFIELD COLLEGE. ANNUAL DIS(RIBUTION [DIS(RETRIBUTION] OF PRIZES. .The annual procesdngs [proceedings] conszected [connected] with the distribution of prizes to the pupils of this excellent institution, prepara- [prepared- preparatory] tory [tor] to the mid-tmmuer [mid-tamer] vacation, took place on Monday last, under the presidency of John Crossley, Esq.,. Mayor of Halifax, in the spacious lecture roon, [room] which was beau- [beautifully] tifully [fully] decorated with f ys and wreathes of flowers. The galleries and pringipal [principal] pertions [portions] of the floor were occu- [occur- occupied] pied by a num rous [sum sour] and bri [Bro] tly [ty] attired number of ladies, whose presence imparted to the proceedings a high degree of interest. Shortly after the time announced for the com- [commencement] mencement [men cement] of the imteresting [interesting] dings, John Crossley, Esq., Mayor of Halifax, ea the room, daecompanied [accompanied] by William Willans, Esq., Frederick Schwann, Thomas Pitt, Esq. (hon. 'sec.), Joseph Shaw, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Milne. L.L.D. (principal of the college), the Rev. G. Mor- [Or- Morgan] gan, [an] M.A., Mons. Chenery, [Henry] B.L., and a number of gen- [gentlemen] tlemen [gentlemen] interested in the course of instruction pursued at this establishment. Prayer having been offered up, The PRESIDENT rose, and was welcomed by rounds of applause, but at the same time intimating that in the first piace [place] he would call on Dr. Milne to make his annual report of the progress made by the scholars. The (the Rev. Dr. Milne) then addressed the assembly as follows,-Mr. President, ladies, and gentlemen ; it is, I confess, with some degree of diffidence, that I appear periodically before an audience like this, ta give.an account of what has transpired on 80 unchanging a scene, upon) the whole, as that of a and' the main,' i Detail would,. -from' the' very y-working school. sum up briefly a few such matters as may serve to indicate the general character of its working. First, then, I am happy to say that our nurfbers [numbers] have continued steady during the twelve months, at n arly [n early] the maximum for our accommodation, 160. Of that nutaber [number] nearly 50 belong to the Lower School-the largest number of-pupils counted in this department since the opening of the college; a fact that of itself speaks well for the character of the elementary training which the pupils receive in it. I have again to announce as a pleasing fact, indicative in no slight degree of the steadiness and soundness pervading the whole system, that no change has taken place for several years in the regular staff of masters. e only change which it has been deemed expedient to make has been the transference of the classes in chemistry to the care of one of the regular masters, thereby te ensuré [ensure] a greater amount of time and attention to this important subject, which object, I am happy to say, has been fully attained under the efficient superintendence and instructian [instruction] of Mr. Morgan. (Cheers.) if cannot speak in terms of ynqualified [qualified] praise of the con- [conduct] duct and industry of all the pupils-in a large school, just as in the world without, it, were a vain thing to, expect perfection, or the absence of all complaint-(hear, hear),- [hear] this I can at least affirm, that neither has the general conduct deteriorated, nor have the results of the examina-. [examine] tion [ion] been less satisfactory than heretofore (cheers) ;-on the contrary, while the elements of educatiénh [education] are be.ter [be.te] understood throughout the school than they were wont to-be,-and this. I attribute mainly. to the efficient working of our junior department,-our more advanced chasses. [classes] bath classical and mathematical, have reached a higher standard of atiainment; [attainment] and the senior classics in particular have, during the last twelve months, gone throuzh [through] greatly to my satisfaction, and much to their own profit, a more extended cqurse [course] of Greek and Latin reading than has previously been traversed. (Cheers.) Three of these are about to matriculate, I trust with credit both to themselves and us, at the ensuing examination in the London University, while the fourth, destined, though not imme- [Mme- immediately] diately, [lately] for one of the older universities, will, I am sure, from the early taste and intelligence which he has displayed, during the short period of his attendance here, take no low or secondary position. (Cheers.) While on this subject, I may be permitted to notice that our young colleague, Mr. Jonathan Bates, the first who has availed himself of the prvi [privy] ege [age] possessed by this institution of issuing certificates or degrees in London University, took, at the last exami- [exam- examination] nation held for the bachelor of arts' degree, the distin- [distinct- distinguished] guishe [guise] position of a double fourth m [in] classical an mathe- [mate- mathematical] matical [medical] honours-(cheers) ;-and cannot help expressing though matters for the present wear a somewhat more encouraging aspect, that so few of our pupils really enter on the higher departments. of stndy, [stand] and--that apart from any ulterior view toa [to] university curriculum, ey aro so--soon drafted from'the school into business. Boys who leave before they, have attained -the age of fourtcén [fourteen] or fifteen, -can- [Canon] only, at best; with them the mere elements of. learning. (Hear, hear.) masters generally, for their. steady and unbroken atten- [attend- attention] tion [ion] to their classes, deserve. every commendation and my own acknowledgement. for their. active co-operation. With the.exception.of. the, inroad of measles in a mild form, at last Christmas, which rendered expedient under tho uncertainty to.what cxtent [extent] the disease might sprend, [spread] to suspend the annual publi [public examination of the classes, the health of the pupils has, with very few cx- [scribbling] becn [been] romurkably [remarkable] gcod-;---and-- good-;---and-- and] --feel assured that 'our modified system of alternate relaxation and of study frequicntly [frequently] chanzed [changed] conduces, under divine goodness, to this general, and for a large school, almost unpreccdented [unprecedented] continuance of hoalth. [health] In a financial point of view tlic [tic] colleze [College] prospers. The large original debt is now yearly beiug [being] reduced by a considerablo [considerable] amount, and for some time past the council have been actively engaged in devising plans net only having a view to its final liqui- [liquid- liquidation] dation, [nation] but with the intention of increasing. and extending the connections of the institution by securmes [secure] for it on equitable terms a more extended proprietary, especially among the young men who have been educated here, and who, now many of them are filling positions likely to Iead [Read] to honor'as [honour'as] well as profit. (Cheers.) Expla- [Explain- Explanations] nations upon this point, however, I must leave to some one better qualifiel [qualified] to give it a business like aspect. I believe I wiay [way] state in general that they wish to be armed at all points, that should the day ever come when circumstances. should necess tate [ness rate] the dissolution of this, at present Hourish- [Nourish- Nourishing] ing institution, they may have secured for those interested a valuable freehold as well as extensive building in the most select part of the now rapidly advancing town of Huddersfield (cheers); but more with the view that this building may long stand a monument with many others of public spirit, and to -furnish to many of the young of aming [among] times not only throughout the West-Riding, but of move distant looalities, [qualities] sound and healthy instruction, fortified by principle, based on moral and religious truth. Before closing I may be permitted to express my regret, in comnmon [common] I am sure with every one who has been in the habit, of attending these meetings, that we are again de- [deprived] privéd, [proved] owing to impared [impaired] health, of the presence of our respected President, whose courteous bearing, w banity [w vanity] of tiamiers, [times] and warm hea ted [he ted] addresses have so frequently a touching interest, and his here again -imay [may] it be an éarly [early] one-will, I am convinced, be hailed with delight by' both young and old amongst us. The reverend gentioman [gentian] resumed his seat amidst applause. The PRESIDENT then again rose and said,-Ladies and geutiemen-t. [engagement-t] feel. greatlg [great] konoured [honoured] by the priviloze [privilege] to occupy the place I do this morninz, [morning] but at the.same time I asstve [asst] you that I feel ill qualificd.to [qualified.to] discharge the duties which feel devolve on me fhis [his] day This, however, ladies and ycatlemen, [gentlemen] is nut the first time I have had thepleasure [the pleasure] of being present at your school -or rather at your half-yearly examination and distribution, of prizes. (Ap- [Applause] plause.) [clause] I well femeiuber, [member] in ths history. of this nob'e institution, Leing [Being] an when this chair was, on that occasion, fillet 'most ficient) [efficient] y by your worthy President (J.

His was a peculiar faculty in that respect, but J can assure those young gentie- [gentle- gentlemen] men whom I now see before me that if they expect me to do what on former occasions their respected president has done in my presence, they will be very greatly disap- [dis- disappointed] pointed. 'That is a class of work for which Tem [Te] not com- [competent] perent, [percent] and therefore shall not attempt it. However, adies [ladies] and gentlemen, I have long felt a desire to see the Yising [Rising] youth of our country well and thoroughly educated ; , J have long taken a deep interest in matters of this kind- [kind cheers] (cheers),-bnt [cheers),-bent (),-bnt] mure [more] particularly in connectien [connection] with the ' humbler.gnd [humbler.and] workinz [working] classes of my country.

(Hear, THE HUDDERSFIELD CHRONICLE, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1850. ews [es] out such a comprehensive system of scholastic instruction. (Hear, hear.) It has been, I ain [in] informed, greatly pros- [prosperous] rous, [sour] and at no former period has it worn a more cheer- [cheering] ing aspect. I can assure those who have the manage- [management] ment [men] and direction of the institution that I am sensible they must have had a t deal of anxious care and toil to bring this institution to its present efficient state. (Hear, hear.) Reference has been made in the address of the Rev. Principal-and I think with great truth-to the fact that the masters remained so long, and that the changes are so few in connection with the man- [management] agement [agent] of this institution, and to that may, as I conceive, be attributed in a great measure the present efficiency of your school. (Hear, hear.) We all know, ladies and gen- [gentlemen] tlemen, [gentlemen] as men of business, that if the heads of depart- [departments] ments [rents] are often changed it has an injurious effect upon business and so also must it be in conducting the studies of youth in an establishment like this. Reference has a been made to the junior classes. I think it exceedingly im- [in- important] portant [important] that special attention should be paid to them, for it is from them that the school or the college is to be fed in after-time; and, therefore, it is highly necessary that the junior scholars should be trained up in a manner fitting them to receive instruction in after-life. (Hear, hear.) 1 might, in proof of this, refer you to my own education, which was of a defective character, for being considered a very dull boy-for I never carried away a prize in my life- [life] I was changed from school to school, and never remained more than eighteen months at any one of the seven or eight schools.I .was sent-to. 'Ihe [The] truth.is, I was always t fe system of instruction te another. This, therefore, is a' of great importance; and this 'leads wie [we] 'to remark that parents should seleet [select] for their absence of novelty, be tedious; and nothing remains bus to, children.the best school they can-and if this is not that school, do nat [at] send your children to it,-but after the selection has been made do not hastily change, as, if you do, more time will have to be spent in knocking out, as it were, what the child has before learned, rather than in imparting any new plan of instruction. (Cheers.) We all know that every school is guided by a certain basis of action, and therefore it is on these grounds I make these observations. There is only one other matter to which I shall refer at present; and that has-reference to the finan- [final- financial] cial [coal] department of the college. I am glad you areina [arena] much better position than formerly, for a debt upon this or kindred institutions acts as a great incubus on such in- [institutions] stitutions. [institutions] (Hear, hear.) If we could have moncy [money] with- [without] out interest I would say little about it; but when we have a four or five per cent interest to pay, it acts in a very repressive way on these institutions.- [institutions] (Hear, hear.) Now, some attempts were contemplated and intended to have. been made, in reference to a reduction of the debt, by means of a'bazaar but, 'as this is a' proprietary institution, I think that such a mode of realizing money,-though it might have met with considerable support,-would- [would have] have damaged you in the eyes of the general public (hear, hear) ;-and. the scheme-which comes nearer to my view is that propounded .ia the report, viz., that of obtaining 120 new proprietors, at 10 each, and thus clear off the whole debt.' (Cheers.)-- [Cheers] I know, ladies and gentlemen, that shares are looked upon'as a rather bad property, in some particu- [particular- particulars] lars [las] but. we have an investment here which will amply re- [year] ay any who may be disposed to consider it; and I, there- [therefore] fore, commend this plun [plum] to the parents of these young people, and solicit them each to take a singie [single] share-not more, for we.could not then accommodate all and, as an example, and in order to set the matter going, I intend to take one (cheers); and, if I cannot, in the course of the next twelve-months, send a pupil, or sell another share, I shall consider I am a very bad representative of the con- [concern] cern. [corn] (Hear, hear) If, ladies and gentlemen, we can only get these shares off in this way, these young gentlemen, having taken shares in this institution, will become, as it were, travelling agents in its behalf, and the result will he that our institution will extend its fame beyond the limits of our own county; and even, it may be, beyond the seas. The President sat down amidst applause; arid, on'again rising, proceeded to distribute the prizes as fullows [follows] - . LOWER SCHOOL.-PRIZES. ee ek Crass 1.-A. Shaw, H. Lumb, J. Webb, J. H.

WILLANS, Esq., (High Constable,) in present- [presenting] ing the Vice-President's Silver Pen for Penmanship, to Master W. Cliffe, complying, cheerfully, with the wish of the excellent chairman, I shall be happy to relieve his worship for a moment or two, by presenting you with this prize. You are aware that it is given with a view to encowrage [encourage] the pupils in this institution to arrive at excellency in writing, and I need not expatiate upon the comfort and advantage of beauty and facility in penman- [penmanship] ship. I hold in my hand your book, and I wish the writing it contains may always be a type of your mind and a symbol of your character, sclect, [select] fair, free, fluent, and bold; and I feel assured you will never dishonour this beautiful pen, by making it the instrument of anything unworthy of it. (Cheers.) You will never employ it for subterfuge or slander-for insincere professions or delusive promiscs-for [premises-for] unfair advantages' or dishonourable gains. (Here, here.) Facility. in writing,. used especially in, imi- [mi- imitating] tating [eating] the writings of others,-has sometimes proved a snare; but on this score I shall feel no anxiety in your case. The excellent pringiples [principles] you will have imbibed 'at home, and which been strengthened and established -here, willshield [will shield] you frum [from] that danger, and when you enter the career of businegs [business] you will regulate your embarrasments [embarrassments] by avoiding expienses [expenses] you caynet [cant] support, obligations you cannot discharge,-and speculations, of which you cannot foresee the results; 'and by prudence, industry, and integ- [inter- integrity] rity, [city] you will, I hope, so grow into-the confidence of your fellow-citizens and your co-respondents, that your sipna- [span- signature] ture, [true] although written with an iron pen, may have the power of turning your paper-inte [paper-inter] gald.; [glad] (Cheers.). The com- [commercial] mercial [commercial] geatlemen [gentlemen] .who surrougd [surround] ts understand my meani- [mean- meaning] ing, and know that thore [there] is a sense in which such a thing is possible. Now, sir, take this pen, handing it to Master Cutfe, [Cute] and whenever you employ it or its substitute, either for your private reflections or in connection ,with others, may yews thoughts be as pure as that silver,' as chaste as that workmanship, as brisht [British] as that polish. Ap lause [cause] ) Your name is Clitte,-preserve [Clit,-preserve] that name as unstilied [unsettled] as the high cliffs of Dover,-(cheers)-may your friends have as much reason to be proud of it as our countrymen have to be proud of those; and amidst the vicissitudes of fortune and the changes of life, may you be as bright in the sun- [sunshine] shine and as serene amidst the storm. (Applause.) FREDERICK SCHAWSN, [SEASON] Esq., on presenting himself was loudly cheered. He proceeded to observe that it was to him a most jlcasing [closing] duty, especially had he been allowed a little more time to collect his scattered thoughts, to move the resolution confided to him, but ig the absence of that preparation he would oxpress [express] the feelings of his own heart, Just as the thoughts came uppermost, in dving [doing] justice to that they had ideas larg [large] exough [enough] to conceive and carry fis [is] tee te gentleman who had been-so kind as to preside over them that day. -(Cheers It was the object of the Council to bring before these assemblies, from time to time, men of excellence' in the leading characteristics of the aye 3. and thus at one time that chair had been filled by an eminent statesman-(cheers)--then at another by a man of high literary talents and that day they had a man whose ex- [excellence] cellonce [cell once] was embraced in a sphere of action near their homes-(cheers)-a man of thorough business qualifications, and those, too, of the highest order, (cheers,) for he (the speaker) could assure his audience that his Worship the ayor [Mayor] of Halifax stood the highest in his particular branch of manufactures of any-man in England, or in Europe- [European] nay, he might say in the whole world. (Cheers.) He could wish his audience no greater treat than the oppor- [upper- opportunity] portunity [port unity] to inspect his worship's extensive works, which, had they a taste for art, science, or those departments which came nearer to the adornment of every home, he would venture to say that they would pronounce it a a magic scene. He pus Mayor of Halifax) as he had that morning told them, had attained to his high and honour- [honourable] able position, in the face of difficulties, while the pupils of that establishment were deriving the advantazes [advantages] of the ex- [excellent] cellent [excellent] education imparted in that establishment. (Cheers. Yot, [Not] with all these disadvantages, his friend had obtain the respect of all men, and was therefore a proof in his personal instance that nature was true and just in her dis- [dispensations] pensations-she [sensations-she -she] dispensed her gifts with discrimination and judgment,-thus shewing that we were all dependent one on the other-that mankind were one family and he called on those young men before him to recognise and do homage .to such a man, who as a man of business was excellent,- [excellent] who as a manufacturer was looked up to and beloved by those'about him,-whose excellence as an employer was acknowledged by all, and who had acquired all this in the absence of all those early aids which were placed within the reach of the pupils of that sehool. [school] The speaker con- [concluded] cluded, [eluded] amidst applause, by movinza [moving] vote of thanks to the President. ; Mr. JOSEPH SHAW, in seconding the vote, alluded to the healthy state of the finances of the college,-the debt being greatly reduced; -and what had. been done in the past, he expressed as his belief, would be exceeded in the future, and the institution go on increasing in efficiency and prosperity. . Three cheers were then given for the President, which were very briefly acknowledged by the Mayor of Halifax. The pupils next gave three cheers for Dr. Milne and the Masters, three for the Earl of Carlisle and the Patrons, and three more for the Officers and Council, which brought the interesting proceedings to a close, at half-past one p.m. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (Continned [Continued] from the th page.) HOUSE OF LORDS, Thursday, June 27... In reply to a question from Lord Stanley, Earl GREY said that he would not press the federal. clauses in the Austra- [Austria- Australian] lian [loan] Colonies Bill, as it would be impossible to make them work at present in a satisfactary [satisfactory] - ABOLITION OF THE OFFICE OF LoRD-LIEUTENANT.-The [Lord-LIEUTENANT.-The] Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented two important pe- [petitions] titions [petitions] against the abolition of the office of Lord- [Lord lieutenant] Lieutenant, and concluded by moving threestrongly-worded [three strongly-worded] resolutions against the abolition of the office...... The Mar- [Marquis] quis [quin] of LANSDOWNE admitted the right of the noble marquis to bring forward the matter, but thought he might have waited till the bill came in due form before the house. cesses [ceases] The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that inasmuch as the matter would be open to discussion in due form, the resolutions should now be withdrawn. He did, however, hope that the Government would consider the whole sub- [subject] ject [jet] in all its bearings and details before they pressed the House to adopt the measure, Speaking from a military point.of view, he could not help remarking that for the last fifty years a series of military operations had been going. on uninterruptedly in Ireland, and it should be re- [remembered] membered that by the British Constitution such operations could only be carried on under the sanction of the civil power. The superintendence and co-operation of a civil authority like the Lord-Lieutenant were ab- [absolutely] solutely [solely] necessary to direct any measures of precaution which the Commander-in-Chief might deem requisite in Ireland. He had felt the force of this most fully during the last fow [ow] years in Ireland, when he had to provide against the schemos [scheme] of a revolutionary faction. S.pposing [S.opposing] the Lord-Lieutenancy were abolished, the chief authority in Dublin would be the lord mayor, and if he should prove to be such a lord mayor as the late Mr. O'Connell; or Dr. Cane, the mayor-elect of Kilkenny, the latter of whom had been imprisoned under the provisions of the act for sus- [us- suspending] pending the habeas corpus, it would be impossible for the commander-in-chief to take 'any steps in concert with such an authority. He was very much. mistaken if an Under- [UnderSecretary] Secretary of State would have sufficient authority if the country were in a disturbed state, and he put it to the government before they pressed the measure to reflect whether it was worth while for a paltry saving of 20,000 a-year to sacrifice this great office of Lord-Lieutenant....... After a few words from Earl Grey, the resolutions were withdrawn. The Marquis of LANspowNE [Lansdowne] brought up the report of the special committee on the subject of providing accomo.- [com.- com] dation [nation] for foreign Ministers, which was to the effect that the lower portions of the peers' galleries-those nearest to the strangers galleries-should be set apart for the recep- [recipe- reception] tion [ion] of foreign ministers. It was his wish, and he doubted not it would be their lordships' wish, to afford accommoda- [accommodation- accommodation] tion [ion] to strangers, to those foreign ministers, and to another description of strangers, whom on all accounts they desired to treat with peculiar courtesy .but, at the same time, they reserved to themselves the power of regulating the proceedings of their own house, and of retaining such power in their hands as would make any admission to it an act of grace and favour....... The Duke of WELLINGTON ex- [expressed] pressed his satisfaction at the report, which was accord- [accordingly] ingly [ingle] received....... Their lordships then adjourned. MOUSE OF COMMONS. Thursday, June 27. ADJOURNED DEBATE ON THE FOREIGN POLICY OF oo oe MINISTERS. .. The, adjoymed.dgbate [adjourned.debate] was, resumed by Sir J. WALSH, who condemned the policy of the Departinent, [Department] as did also Sir H. Verney, Sir R. H. Inglis, and the Marquis of Granby.........Sir W. MoLesworti, [Molesworth] in an elaborate speech, reviowed [reviewed] the whole foreizn [foreign] policy of Lord Palmer- [Palmerston] ston, [ton] and intimated as his conclusion founded thereon his dissent from Mr. Rosbuck's [Roebuck's] motion; and after weighing the risks which might be incurred by a change of Ministry, and, expressing his deep regret at taking a part against his political friends, he declared his intention to vote against the motion. ...... Mr. S. HERBERT, in the outset of his speech, defended Sir James Graham against the reflec- [reflect- reflections] tions [tins] of Lord Palmerston in relation to bis despatches to Mr. Bulwer [Buller] at Madrid, and then turned to the affairs of Italy. He described the corrupt state of the Roman Gov- [Government] ernment [ornament] at the accession of the Pape, whose sole object in his reforms was to convert a bad despotism into a good one. He next adverted to the atfairs [affairs] of Lombardy, vindi- [wind- vindicating] cating [acting] the Austrian Court from the designs upon Sardinia ascribed to it by Lord Palmerston, whom he accused of sippressing [suppressing] documents containing groundless charges 'made by him against foreign Powers. The mission of Lord Minto, misunderstood and misinterpreted. by the Italian people, hada [had] most fatal effect upon tho progress of sound constitutional reform his unfortunate phrase, the independence of Italy, had only one meaning tkere, [there] the expulsion of foreigners. Mr. Herbert detailed tho proceedings of Lord Minto at Naples, the result of which was to disappoint those who had hoped for the extension' of temperate constitutional reform. Nome was sunk under agrinding [grinding] military despotism. Prussia had obtained liberty without the assistance of Lord Palmerston, and what was the condition of all the countries which had been cursed with his aid He called upon the house to mark its disap- [dis- disapprobation] probation of a policy which had tended to 'lower the pubhe [pub] character of this nation. and created a detestation of the British name....... Sir GEorcr [George] Grey, in reply to Mr. S. Herbert, defended the policy of Lord Palmerston, and was followed by Mr. Gladstone, who argued at great length in reply After a few words from Mr. Henry Drummond, 'the debate was again adjourned on the motion of Mr. Cockburn until last night (Friday).

MARKETS. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday, June 22nd.-There has been, con- [considering] sidering [considering] the season, 2 eal [Earl] of inquiry for gooda [good] in our market to-day, and there is every indication that asthe [asthma] season advances, there will be a autumn trade. There is no altera- [alter- alteration] tion [ion] of prices worth notcing. [nothing] Wools continue firm. BRaDFORD [Bradford] MARKET, Thursday last.- [last] Wools The prices sought and demanded in the are such as are acting as a drawback on the purchases made here. New wools are now sell- [selling] ing far too high, but many parties are sanguine that these prices wi.) not long be sustained. Yarns The increased prices sought for all kinds of wuols [wools] compel the spinners to seek a advance, and the contracts for July will only be made at an ad- [advance] vance of 3d. to 6d. per gross on June prices. Pieces The demand coutinues [continues] brisk, and manufacturers are generally working to order, but for fresh contracts higher prices are demanded. HALiFax, [Halifax] SATURDAY, June 22.-The attendance in our Piece Hall has not been very large to-day, but there is a fair business doing in worsted goods, at steady prices. The inquiry for low lastings, [lasting] noticed in furmer [farmer] reports, continues, but there is not alarge [large] make of that article just now. Yarn isin [sin] active demand, at advancing rates. The wool market exhibits more life, and considerable quantities are changing hands. The growers are asking of the staplers higher prices than they can obtain from the and this gives a firmer tene [ten] tu the quotations. Lereps, [Reps] Tuesday, June 25.-There is no change of im- [in- importance] portance [importance] to notice in the cloth trade since our last report. The markets have been well attended, and the manufacéurers [manufacturers] still continue busy. RocupaLE, [Couple] Monday, June 24.-There is little change in the flannel market to-day from that of last Monday, either in demand or price. There has been very little doing in the wool market, principaily [principal] from the dealers holding out for prices the manufacturers were unwilling to give, ; MACCLESFIELD, Tuesday, June 25.-We have very little worthy of note to record as regards either the manufacturing or throwing departments of the silk trade. A few goods have been sold during the week ut prices barely, if at all, remunerative; and the continuance, on the one hand, of advancing prices for the raw material, and on the other, the stationary, if not depressed, state of the market for goods, are compelling our manufacturers to stop production as far as practicable, until a better disposition as to prices shall be manifested. The throwing mills and ware- [warehouses] houses are now stopped for a few days, in consequence of Mid- [Midsummer] summer holidays; but complaints are still general of the impossibility of obtgini [obtain] te' throwin [thrown] sitics.- [politics.- politics] In the raw silk market a dec [de] improvement has taken place; and, in many instances, slightly advanced rates have been ob- [obtained] tained, [gained] with much business doing. - WAKEFIELD CoRN [Corn] MarRKET, [Market] Yesterday, June 28th.- [the.- the] We continue-to receive fuir. [fair] supplies of wheat. The trade is slow without variation in value for fresh qualities. Barley for grind- [grinding] ing is quite as dear. Oats and shelling are steady in price. Beans as befere.-Imports [before.-Imports] during the week Wheat, 14,934; barley, 469; oats, 745; beans, 835 qrs. [Mrs] shelling, 305 lds. [ls] Loxpon.CoRN [Loxton.Corn] MaRKET, [Market] Wedesday [Wednesday] last.-The few sam- [samples] ples [poles] of Engiish [English] wheat on offer in our market to-day, were dis- [disposed] posee [pose] of at prices fully equal to those odtained [obtained] on Monday. The attendance of both town and country buyers was limited, and the accounts from. the country respecting the appearance of the growing crops, were very favourable. From abrvad, [abroad] 8,340 quar- [quay- quarters] ters [tees] of wheat have come to hand this week. Selected parcels were held at very full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds, next to nothing Barley-the supply of which was but -moderate-moved off-slowly, at late rates. We hada [had] slow inquiry fur malt, at last week's quotations. Very few oats were brought forward, and really good qualities produced 6d. per quarter more money. Beans, peas, and Indian corn without alteration. BARNSLEY CoRN [Corn] MARKET, Wednesday last.-We had, owing to the wetness of the day, but a limited supply of grain at our market; sufficient, however, for the deman [Dean] Prices were about the same as on the preceding market day. LIVERPOOL CorN [Corn] MARKET, Tuesday, June 25. The weather is exceedingly fine, and the attendance is very small. Trade inactive. A mere retail business doing both in wheat and flour, but without change in the value of either. All kinds of spring corn are neglected, and the turn lower. Indian corn a heavy sale, at a decline of 1s. per quarter. LeErs [Lees] CoRN [Corn] EXCHANGE, Tuesday, June 25. We are well supplied with wheat. The fine weather tends to make the trade rule slow, yet prices for English samples are maintained. Other sorts in very limited demand. Oats and beans do not vary in price, and other articles are without alteration. Arrivals Wheat, 10,843; beans, 850; oats, 750; peas, 49; rapeseed, 712. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CoRN [Corn] MARKET, Tuesday, June 25.-Owing to continuance of fine weather, and this being race week, little business is transacted. The tew [te] sales effected in wheat are at the quotations of Saturday last. Other articles nominally unchanged. Hut. Corn Market, Tuesday, June 25.-Short supply of wheat at market. For fime [fire] fresh samples Is. more money is obtained. Spring corn fully as dear. LIVERPOOL Corron [Corton] MARKET, Tuesday, June 25.-The advices [advice] respecting the growing crop of American cotton con- [continue] tinue [tine] of an unfavourable character, which have given increased buoyancy to this market, with an advance of 4d. per lb. npon [upon] the current 'quotations of American qualities since last week, and all other descriptions maintain the extreme prices previously obtained. The sales in the last four days amount to 33,000 bags, inchsive [inches] of 14,500 principally on speculation; but in this quan- [quay- quantity] tity-are [tit-are -are] included about 1,000 Brazil and 1,500 American for export. 7 State oF TRADE IN MANCHESTER, Tuesday last.-The spinners of water twist, and of the lower and medium counts of mule, whether for shipment or fur home consumption, have assumed a decidedly firmer bearing. For the yarns here referred to, rather more has been paid to-day than was ebtainable [obtainable] a few days ago. The sules [sales] cannet [cannot] be said to have exceeded a moderate amount. The purchases of No. 40's to 70's, on Indian aAeeount, [amount] may be stated as of fair extent, at fully as high rates as thase [these] of last week; and we have still to report well of the better qualities of 60's and upwards, and of some numbers of doubled yarns. The effect of this impulse in guods [goods] is rather to add to the previous rise in the value of Jong cloths, T-cloths, domestics, and fustians [fustian] The stocks of these articles were becoming light (of long cloths 2 oe .

LorD [Lord] PaLMERSTON's [Palmerston's] ENTRY INTO PuBLic [Public] LiFeE.-Ina [Life.-Ina] work lately published, the Honourable Mr. EB. Phipps' Memoirs of the Political and Literary Life of Robert Plum- [Plummer] mer [Mr] Ward, Esqg., [Esq] author of Tremaine, there is printed a Diary kept by Mr. Ward from 1809 to 1819. One of the first pages has this notice of the beginning of the poli- [pole- political] tical [critical] career of the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs - Lord Palmerston came to town, sent for by Perceval. [Percival] He was so good as to confide to me that three things were offered to him, the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, Secre- [Secure- Secretaryship] taryship-at-War, [township-at-War, -at-War] cra [car] scat at the Treasury, by way of in- [introduction] troduction [production] to the-seals, if -he-was entering upon theni [then] at-once. -' These offers were, however, in the alterna- [alter- alternative] tive [tie] of any of them being declined by Milnes (member for Pomfret), to whom they were made in the first instance. Lord P. consulted me very frankly upon them, and asked it I thought he would be equal to the seals either in cabinet or parliament, particularly the latter, where he had scarcely made his debut. I told him, and was most sincere, that in common with all his friends whom I had ever heard speak on the subject, I thought him quite equal to them in capa- [cap- capacity] city, but as to nerves in parliament, of which he. seemed most tu doubt, nobody could judge but himself. He said, Petty (wham I had mentioned) had come forward after having felt his way and got possession of himself in the house, and that if he had done the same, he perhaps would not hesitate. As it was, he inelined [inclined] to the second place, but had written to Lord Malmesbury. We walked up to Hyde-park discussing the subject. Among other topics which I urged, one seemed to impress him much; which was the great difference there would be in his situation and pretensions upon a return to office, in the event of our going out, if he retired as a cabinet minister instead of a subordi. [subdue] nate [ate] capacity. He allowed it much flattered his ambition, but feared the projudice [prejudice] it would occasion to his own repu- [pure- reputation] tation [station] and the interest of his friends if he failed. I left him inclining to the Secretary-at-War; aad [and] admired his pru- [pr- prudence] dence, [dene] as I have long done the talents and, excellens [excellent] unde [under under] standing, as well as the many other good qualities, as well DEATH FROM HLOROFORM.-On [REFORM.-On] Monday last, a case illustrative of the fatal effect of the incautious use of chlo- [Loch- chloroform] roform [reform] occurred at Sheffield the sufferer was a Mr. J. Smith, a young man of 21 years of age. Mr. Smith retired to rest on Sunday night, about half-past eleven o'clock, at the house of Mr. Ray. In the night he was heard to mean but it was concluded he was dreaming. .As he did not ap- [appear] pear at the usual time at the breakfast table, a domestic was sent to his bedroom, when he was found lying in bed, life being extinct. In his hands he held a handkerchief, firmly pressed to his mouth and nostrils. It appears that the unfortunate gentleman has been in the habié [habit] of inhahne [inane] chloroform for the purpose of allaying the face-ache. A bottle which had contained chloroform was found uncorked in the watchpocket [watch pocket] of the bed, and in a private drawer two bottles of chloroform were discovered. An inquest was held on the evening of Monday, when evidenco [evidence] estab- [stables- establishing] lishing [fishing] the above account was given, and also that the deceased had several times, when he inhaled chloroform, directed William Girt, formerly groom to Mr. Ray, to sit with him, and to rouse him when falling inte [inter] a state of in- [insensibility] sensibility, which he had accordingly done.
