Miscellaneous. The Court. — Mr. Albert S...
compliment to the Ministers : " the House of Peers was responded to by Lord Monteagle , and " the House of Commons" by Mr . Gladstone , -who observed that the Crimean war " will stand in no small degree conspicuous in history for the purity of the motives with which it originated , for the fidelity and honour of the alliances by which it has been carried on , and , he ventured to add , for the rapidity with which the political and moral objects in view have been achieved . " He also expresses a hope that , on the conclusion of peace , the House of Commons would address itself to
" the re-establishment of the equilibrium of the public financss , and the reform of heir military establishments . " Sir Join Pakington proposed the health of the Lord Mayor , and hinted at the necessity for municipal reform , -which the Lord Mayor , in acknowledging the toast , said the City would not oppose , to a reasonable extent ; " but , on the other hand , if members of Parliament found that the corporation had not abused its powers , they at least should not destroy that which had lasted through so many ages , and which connected the past with the present . " State of Tiu . de . —The advices from the
manufacturing towns regarding the state of trade during the Week ending lasc Saturday present no material altera tion .

The
general manufacturers of the place are likewise inactive , the orders from the United States being still eraatll , although stocks are low both in that country aad at home . Tho Nottingham report describes continued confidence , a further irnproyeoxent in the home demand , and an upward tendency in quotations . In tbae woollen districts there has been no alteration and * b- people continue to be . well employed . The Irish linen-mafkets are likewise "' steady , and the purchases are _ nuinerpus , both for home consumption and exportationTimes
