MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

(From the "Manch' s,t ' r Guardian.") Manchester, Tuesday, March 22.—1n . our last report we slated that the little excitement in cotton got up at the beginning of the week, by way of <i making things pleasant" to the speculators, was passing away and leaving our market in an inanimate stale, yet evidently steadying itself at rather belter prices than such as in many instances were accepted under the tit of apprehension which had come over us in the previous week. To-day. the course of business has been sluggish, and its amount inconsiderable ; but in the department of yarns there is a rather more evident recovery of firmness than was perceptible on Friday and Saturday. Some effect has no doubt been produced by the American advices received yesterday, which report rather higher prices at New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston and Savannah, as well as at New York, oecasioned partly by a smaller decline lhan was expected having taken place at Liverpool, partly by the somewhat favorable accounls respecting cotton from France and other parlg of the European continent, and partly by a falling off of 13,000 bales in the week's receipls at the ports of (he union, as compared with the corresponding week of last year; although as we learn from Wright's circular, telegraphic advices showed that the following week would exhibit an increase. The state of the cotton question is such as to render buyers in this market exceedingly cautious ; and any positive advance of prices, any attempt at more lhan a steady hold of the rates of a fortnight back, would stop the limited operations now going on. On the other hand, yarns from 80's upwards are still hardening, and a further rise is determined on by the spinners. In domestics, there is somewhat more doing at the previous prices,

but printing cloths are quiet, and 40-inch shirtings dull. Macclesfield, Tuesday, March 22.—Our manufacturers continue very active, wilh considerable orders on hand. The production is only circumscribed by want of weavers, the scarcity of whom has not been so much felt for some years, The stocks on hand of silk manufactured goods are very light. Thrown Silks— The sales to (he home trade have been considerable and stocks are everywhere reduced to a very low ebb. The orders from the Continent continue to some extent, but there is literally nothing at market to execute them with. Kaw Silks. —The market remains firm for all descriptions. ITALY. Milan, March 17. Three persons, convicted of having taken part in the movement of the Glh of February, have been executed. Five others, convicted of robbery, had been also condemned to death. Three had suffered ; the sentence of the others had been commuted into ten years 1 imprisonment. I Letters from Milan, in the Post-Ampt Gazelle of Frankfort, stale that the Piedmontese Government having ordered a strict search to be made in the forests along the Austrian frontier, upwards of 5000 muskets have been found secreted there. Twenty persons have been arrested on suspicion of having a hand in concealing these arms. Rome, March 16. The Pope, at the request of (he Dutch Government, has created an Archbishop of Utrecht, and four Suffragan Bishops. SPAIN. Madrid, March 18. M. Martinez de la Rosa has been elected President of the Chamber of Deputies by 1-42 votes. Of the four Vice-Presidents elected, two belonged to the Opposition. AUSTRIA. (From the Times correspondent.) Vienna, March 19. It is considered highly probable that the French steam-frigate which entered the Bosphorus on the 4lh conveyed fresh instructions to M. Beneditti, who at present transacts the diplomatic business of France. Prince Menschikoff and his suite landed at Tophana from two men-of-war. The Belgian Minister, M. de Blondel, vied with the resident Greeks and Fanariotes in attentions to the Ambassador. The Turks received the Russian diplomalisls with dignity and civility. The carriages of M. d'Ozcroff, and of the Belgian and Sardinian Ministers, conveyed the principal members of the Embassy to the Russian palace. Prince Mencschikoffs having visited the Grand Vizier in plain clothes is thus explained;—lt was debated in the Divan how the Ambassador Extraordinary was to be received, and FuadEffendigaveit as his opinion that if that personage appeared in uniform, the Ministers should also wear' their embroidered dresses. This conversation soon became known to the Russian diplomatist, and he resolved to humiliate the Mussulmans. The Grand Vizier received notice that the Embassy was about to call on him. The attendants immediately formed espalier in the passages leading to the audience-hall. The members of the Divan were in full uniform, the troops paraded The ambassador arrived ; the drums beat, the doors were thrown open, and in walked (he Prince in a frock coat, with a hat, which had long lost its first gloss, and a slick in his hand. M. d'Ozeroff had donned a dress coat, but Count Nesselrode was clad in that upper garment known as a paletot. When the audience which lasted an hour was over, Kiamil Bey (the usher to the foreign Ministers) proposed to conduct the Legation to the apartments of the Minister for foreign affairs, but the Ambassador coldly replied that he did not purpose calling on him. This leads people to believe that Prince Menschikoff had received instructions to begin his diplomatic functions by obtaining the dismissal of Fuad Effendi. The Russians have brought large sums of ready money with them, and 50,000f. a month are allowed for the expenses of the legation. The Russian palace is literally beleaguered by Greeks during the whole day; and thousands accompanied the Prince when he went to the well known grotto and church at Balukli. The credentials presented by the Russian ambassador contained little but his titles and appointment. The question of the Holy Sepulchre is supposed to be the principal cause why the head of the Greek Church is so wroth. The mission is supported by large bodies of troops in the neighborhood.
