The Government have very properly determined on disbanding the useless Yeomanry corps, and allowing the farmers who generally com- pose them to attend to their agricultural pursuits, instead of' losing fortnight or more yearly in playing at soldiers.—Globe. We understand that circulars have been sent to the commandantsof Yeomanry regiments and troops, ordering or requesting them to dis-
I and those serving under them. The object of this proceeding is to make room for riots and buntings in the country. Ministers know that they must go out before long ; and they are anxious that the country
should be brought into a state of disorder, so as to give the Consents- tives the disciedit of causing it. We have been informed that Mr. Ward's tro ip, in this county, has been already disbanded; the honour- able commandant being of course one of the most willing to assist the
good intentions of her Majesty's Government. We shall know more about this matter by next week. We hope in the mean time that. the farmers will duly appreciate the conduct of the Whigs on this subject.. —Herb C rillaY Press. [A.

For the last two or three years, all kinds of silk hosiery, gloves, and silk lace goods, have been received into the American markets duty- free. The day previous to the sailing of the last packets, orders were received from the Government at Washington, that in future a duty of 23 per cent. must be charged on all silk goods; and it is expected that if the Government enforce this order, large quantities of silk goods, now' on the way, will be returned ; it being impossible to dispose of them with the duty charged thereon, in the present state of affairs in that country. The above important information was received by one of the principal manufacturing houses in this town from their American agent.—Nottingham Journal.
The dulness which prevailed last week in the Manchester yarn market still continues ; and purchasers, expecting a further decline in cotton, will not buy, except at very low prices; which, however, the spinners were not quite so much inclined to accept yesterday as during the last week. In the goods market there is very little change to no- tice: business, considering the season of the year, is not brisk; but that probably arises, in some degree, from the great accumulation of goods in the hands of the carriers during the frost, which has prevented them from undertaking the conveyance of those recently delivered, and has thus had a strong tendency to prevent fresh purcheses.—Manchcster Guardian.
