STATE OF TRADE . : e linen trade of Barnsley has improved of late , and ; h the power-loom and the hand-loom weavers are irly fully employed ; but there is great depression in ! coal trade of the neighbourhood , caused in some asure by a dispute between some of the coal owners 1 the working colliers . la the iron districts , flatne . ss itinues to prevail . The chain makers of Cradley ye turned out for an advance of wages ; but it is ibtful if they obtain it , though , should they do so , sir net earnings will not amount to more than fifteen llings a week . The colliers east of Dudley are also ; on strike , on account of their employers having re-; ed their wages on-e shilling a day . Trade at

inisant demand for " crinoline steel . The iron trade Wolverhampton is in a most depressed state , though improved price has been obtained for rails .

IRELAND . inity Colleok . — -A Queen ' s letter , it is said , is about be issued , which will shadow forth certain reforms iii s constitution of Trinity College , Dublin . The eningMail , thus states the nature of these changes : — ? ho board has given up its claim to the degree fees , ich , it will be remembered , was one of the subjects cussed at the late visitation , and the abandonment of ich was long since recommended in the columns of s journal . The emoluments attached to the offices ich are held by the board , as bursarships , senior tureship , &c , are also , we understand , lo be considery reduced in amount . We have lienrd that from sso two sources a reduction of something like 30 O 0 A ear is to bo made from the income of the board , and bo made applicable for the other requirements of the lloge . Among tho measures of material reform which II be carried into effect by the application of this fund believe we may enumerate the fallowing : —The intution of fourteen university scholarshi p * , or exhibins , endowed with a stipend of 100 / . a j'ear , to be npeted for at the degree examinations , and tenable seven years ; the establishment of two new offices , to held by junior Fellows , whose special duty shall bo i superintendence of tho education and discipline of dergraduatestudents ; the promotion of the non-tutor Hows to tho position of tutors , and tho amelioration tho condition of the remaining four , until they arc idually absorbed into tho tutorial bedv . The sct > -
iniul scholars hips , wo understand , will bo open to idents of all denominations , and will be exempt from ty or residence . " Riotino in Rosenic . v . —Somo very serious riotd have con place ntRoscrcn , owin * to certain scoundrels being ended with somo of the jury who had convicted the rmncks of the murder of Mr . Ellis . Somo of tho lice wore injured , and it wus found necessary to scud the adjacent garrison of Birr for soldier * . Distress in Donkgal . —Tho Select Committee of the > U 8 e of Commons appointed to inquire into tho desii-: ion alleged to exist in Gwcedoro nnd Clmiglianuoly itrict , in tho county of Donegal , hnvo considered the ittor to thorn roferrod , and agreed to n report , in which s stated : —Thattho district of ( Jwuedoro and Clougha-: ; ly is a wild and mountainous tract of country , uibitod , for tlio most part , by tenants holding small
portions of land . That there are among them man }' who are very needy , who , on any failure of their crops , are , subject to more or less distress and poverty in consequence at one portion of the year ; but at the present time it appears to your committee that destitution , such as is complained of in the appeal of 8 th January , 1858 , contained in , the Appendix , did not , and does not exist , and that tlie general condition of the people is certainly not worse now than it has been for many years , nor does it appear to your committee that there was , during the winter of 1857 and 1858 , any increase of sickness in the district , or any increa e in the number of applications for admission to the workhouse . That this poverty among the people is
not attributable to the landlords . It appears to " your committee that an erroneous opinion exists in the minds of the people as to their rights over the mountains near which they reside , and that their not being well advised on this point has led to the outrages which have been committed , and to the destruction of a large number of sheep , which brought upon the inhabitants of the district the sheep and police tax—a burden which no > doubt pressed heavily upon them , but it was paid readily in money , and no stock or produce was sold under distress for the purpose of paying those taxes .
