j V \ , STATE OF TRADE . Thb reports of the trade of the manufacturing towns duringr . the week ending last Saturday , show in most caseff-animpTovement , -consequent upon the course taken byu the Government on the American question . At Manchester , the markets exhibited considerable firmness attlie commencement , although there was subsequently rather less activity . The Birmingham iron trade has been partly in suspense , previously fo the midsummer meetings of the manufacturers ; but it is not expected that any ^ reduction in prices will be adopted . Tie failure of Louis and Mier , a mercantile house , has been announced ,
with liabilities for 60 , 000 / ., and assets which may yield 7 a . ; 6 ( L in the pound . The winding-up of the estate of Ruflfrrds and Wragge , the bankers of Stourbridge and BroVnsgrove , who failed in 1851 , has been completed , and- the result is that the debts proved have amounted to 888 , 998 £ , while the assets realized have been 68 , 347 / ., oiit < » f which i 17 , 412 / . have gone for expenses . The Nottingham advices ' describe no-alteration ; the market is quiet , but healthy , and employment 13 general . In the -woollen districts there is a tendency to dulnesa , and tbe-ttfanufacturers are disposed to lessen their amount of production . From the Irish linen-markets the accounts am still favourable .- — Tin / Ms .
• The strike of shipwrights came before the attention of MrJ'iSelfe , the Thames magistrate , on Tuesday , when si * 'men , -all natives of Ireland , who had recently been hired' at Limerick , were charged with deserting from theiir' employment . Mr . Selfe suggested that the matter should be referred to arbitration ; but this was not ngreed to , and the case was then gone into . The m < nV counsel brought forward certain legal objections to 8 hc > w that they had never entered the service of Messrs . Young , Son , and Magnay , their alleged employers ; and this being allowed by the magistrate , the accused were discharged . Tlie recent discovery of iron ores in the uncultivated wilds of Exmoor Forest , Devonshire , is expected to produce a complete revolution in the iron trade .
Mfr . William Rathbone , merchant and magistrate at Liverpool , received a deputation on Tuesday from the men on strike , asking him to mediate betweon them and the company . He consented to do so .

passengers , officers ,. and crew , she bad on board , all told ,-about 110 persons . , The Light Cavalrt Chabge at Balaklava . — -A correspondence between Lord Cardigan and Lord George Paget , with reference to the celebrated " death-ride" of the light cavalry at Balaklava , has been published in the morning papers . A difference of opinion exists between the two officers as to whether Lord George Paget , for a brief space on the occasion alluded to , was in command of the 11 th Hussars . Lord George asserts the
affirmative , Lord Cardigan the negative , contending that the temporary contact , in the course of retreat , of the 4 th Light Dragoons , commanded by Lord George Paget , and the 11 th Hussars , would not invest his lordship , though the senior officer , with command of both . Lord George complains of a statement , in a letter signed " Charles Wood , " that the attack of the 8 th Hussars on the Russian Lancers alone , " saved our 4 th Light Dragoons and 11 th Hussars . Lord Cardigan agrees that this is erroneous , but thinks that the attack alluded to must have been of service to the two
lastnamed regiments . Affray at Aldershott between German and English Troops . — -Some serious disturbances have taken place at Aldershott between the 2 nd German Jagers and the 1 st and 2 nd battalion of the Rifle Brigade . The Germans seem to have been the aggressors , and it appears that they attacked the English troops with bayonets , knives , sticks and stones , apparently without provocation . It was at one time feared that it would be necessary to employ the cavalry to part them ; but this was happity- avoided by the cessation of the riot . Several men are seriously wounded .
