BRITISH MANUFACTURES.-It is with pleasure we copy the following paragraph, indicating a revival of our trade :-" It is particularly gratifying to be able to state, that the trade of this town continues in progressive improvement. Commercial men are gradually extending their business, and are daily getting fairer prospects and better spirits. Weavers for every kind of fine plain work are in considerable request. The wages of weaving are a little higher."-Glasgow Paper. "We fulfil a pleasing part of our duty to-day, in again noticing an improvement in the demand for British manufactures. The advices from Germany continue to announce large sales at the different fairs; and the consequence is already felt at home in an advance of prices. At Manchester white goods have for some time been rising in value; and the houses who buy for money have found it necessary to give the advance as well as those who purchase on credit. This is an unequivocal indication of improvement, as in cases of partial revival rich houses are able to traffic with the needy without acceding to the enhancement which is unavoidable by others. In Glasgow and Paisley the demand has been good this spring; and the simultaneous orders from the West Indies, the United States, and the Continent of Europe, must have greatly lightened the home market."-Glasgow Chronicle. "We are happy to have it in our power to confirm the accounts given in former numbers of our paper concerning the revival of trade. Several manufacturing houses could employ many more weavers than they can find at the present prices. Calenders, printfields, and bleachfields, are particularly throng, many of them working over hours. The proprietors and artisans are of course in better spirits. Dye-works are also considerably brisker, and the dyers of turkey-red in particular have as much work as they can overtake."-Glasgow Journal. Course of Exchange, London, June 9.-Amsterdam, 12: 4.

[June ALPHABETICAL LIST of SCOTCH BANKRUPTCIES and DIVIDENDS, announced May 1820, extracted from the Edinburgh Gazette. THE LATE ABBOT ARBUTHNOT. DIED, on the 19th of April last, in his 84th year, the Right Reverend CHARLES ARBUTHNOT, Lord Abbot of the Scots Monastery and College of St James's in Ratisbon. This venerable Prelate was born in the parish of Longside, Aberdeenshire, from whence he was sent at an early age to the above seminary, of which, for considerably more than half a century, he was the brightest ornament and guardian. He was eminently distinguished for his classical knowledge, and accounted one of the best mathematicians in Germany, having repeatedly carried off the first prizes from the German Universities for solving mathematical problems. His uncommon sweetness of disposition, benevolence of heart, and elevation of soul, were strongly indicated by the manly openness of his fine countenance and the dignity of his appearance, personal qualities which he retained unimpaired to the last. So highly was this amiable man respected by the German Princes, that when the Diet of Ratisbon, at the instigation or rather command of Bonaparte, had resolved to secularize the church lands of the empire, they made an express exception in favour of Abbot Arbuthnot, permitting him to enjoy the revenues of the establishment during his life. It may not be improper to add, that the above monastery Was founded above 1000 years ago, by one of those illustrious Scotchmen who had been attracted to the court of the Emperor Charlemagne, whose munificence to learned men has been so often extolled by his. torians. "The Abbot's funeral" (says our correspondent) "was solemnized with the greatest pomp, and attended by crowds of the German nobility, eager to pay this last mark of respect to the remains of a man so universally beloved and so deeply regretted." Abbot Arbuthnot possessed many qualities in common with his celebrated kinsman, Dr John Arbuthnot. They were both descended of the same family,were equally distinguished as the best Classical Scholars and Mathematicians of their time. The same benevolent expression of countenance and dignity of person were conspicuous in each :-but the parallel was, it possible, more admirable in the nobler qualities of the mind;-a rare philanthropy of heart.-uncommon ness and even playfulness of disposition.— and, above all, the same fervent religious feelings,-alike adorned and elevated the Churchman and the Physician of Queen Anne. sweet BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DEATHS.
