SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We noticed on Friday the miserable exhibition made by the O'Connell Viceroy for Ireland, in reply to the attacks made upon that system of misgovern ment which he and his colleagues of the Cabinet had abused the unsuspecting confidence of their Sove reign by prevailing upon her Majesty to approve of. It was our purpose to show that Lord Mulgrave, instead of upholding law and administering justice, to both which duties he had solemnly sworn, was himself, through his clap-trap gaol deliveries of prisoners, not by tens or dozens, but by fifties and hundreds, an ally of outrage and a suborner of crime. It was made ma nifest, from the undisputed statements of Lord Glen gall and others, that the official reports bore witness to a dreadful increase of ferocity and villainy, instead of a diminution of either ; while it is but common sense to believe that the number of crimes prosecuted, and therefole of legal convictions, must have been much reduced below their natural amount by the new fangled, popularity-hunting, sham-humanity, of the Lord-Lieutenant, who, setting at naught the ver dicts of juries and the sentences of judges, arbitra rily released whole gangs of criminals, and thus pro claimed to the injured subjects of the Crown that it was useless to seek redress for their wrongs by an ap peal to public justice. The statements made in the House of Lords on Tuesday referred to the years 1835 and 1836; But we have now before us a Tipperary n ewspaper, copying the Clonmel calendar for this pre sent Summer Assizes of 1837, prefaced by the follow ing cool and dry observation :—" It has been said by those who wish to uphold the present Government, that this county (Tipperary) is getting tranquil, and that the approaching assizes will be a light one." " We grant we have had heavier, but we ask any un prejudiced man whether he can call that county tranquil, which presents the following catalogue of crime." In the succeeding enumeration we find, as the foremost article, 21 cases of murder I —more, we will venture to say, than has been furnished at the same period by all the counties in Great Britain put together. There are, in addition, four cases of aiding in murder, seven of conspiracy to murder, three of rape, four of highway robbery, four robbery of the person, four burglary and robbery of arms, four burglary and shoot ing at with intent to murder, three house-burning, gee firing into houses—thus completing a list, in one county, and at a single assizes, of no less than 57 cases of capital felony, all attended with violence, and of which there arc 36 having the direct destruction of human life for their object I We affirm broadly that there is not the same space of ground, or an equal po pu:aion, in the whole of Christendom —no, nor in any land of semi-civilized heathens on earth, where such an array of outrageous and atrocious barbarity can be discovered. Ireland tranquillized I Why, it were as true to allege that wailing and gnashing of teeth had ceased in the infernal regions. We insert another Irish extract, taken from the Carlow Sentinel, and illustra tive of the effects of intimidation in guaranteeing im punity to crime. After describing the wicked attempts to deter the sister of a murdered man from prosecuting the assassins of her brother, theCarlow journalist goes on to state, that " at the last Assizes the prisoners were turned out of the dock by wholesale, in defiance of law, of the rules of evidence, and of the Judge's charge ; and Juries openly sanctioned a rescue, committ e d - in open day, in the presence of a large military force, where the police were cut and wounded with stones, and a Magistrate assaulted in the execution of his duty." Such is the portrait of Carlow tranquillity,taken from the life—such is the condition of human affairs, resulting from Lord :',lulgravc's government—such the " ability and success" which have distinguished the ad- ministration of that llolitical petit maitre, whose fa miii.irity with fiction in early life seems to have had an unfo:--tunate effect on his dealings with history in its after stages. But the "ability and success" of Lord Mulgrave's Government are not dependent for evidence 111 support of them- upon his characteristic practices in gaols, and his "patting on the back" of Convicts. In a former article we alluded slightly to the Noble Lord's conduct in the case of a Sir R. Nagle, who, after beinfz dismissed from the magistracy for attendance on unlawful meetings, had, - after his return, as a member of the tail, to Parimannnt, and after his un varying support of Ministers, been rep!aced on the roll of Magistrates without any satisfactory reason as signed. From the manner in which the Lord:; debate on Tuc, , day last was reported, we had not until now been made aware of chcumstanccs well calculated to throw further light on the truth and integrity of the bolsterA- Mulgrave Adminis'ration. It has since been stated to us 'by an ear witness, that when it came to Lord Weatmeath's turn to reply to the attempt at se lf- v i n di ca ti o n which had been made by the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, from the charges bromwht against him, the No!ik rvia:gnis taxed the Viceroy with the grossest inconsistency, in reference to the case of Sir Richard Nagle. L' rd :'.lnes rave's ex cuse for time restoration of thus tail-man to the bench, from which he had been. justly expelled, was, that although lie had been present at anti-tithe meet ings., he lied afterwards " paid his tithes." But, said Lord Westmeath, how could that be your ge inite motive for the favour shown to partisan Magis trates, when he had also restored to the Commission Mr. Cassidy, the notorious Queen's County Aoitator, who, so far ircin paying his tithe, had actually hurried up to Dublin, and iii terms time most insulting towards the law o f the land and the Church Fastablisinnent, laid on the table of the Rebel Rent Association the precise amount of tithe of which he had robbed the Church : and what answer could Lord Mulgrave make to this ? Not a single syllable. We shall publish a return, for which we have not room to-day, of the state of crime in Ireland for time month of June,lB37 (last month), being one of the documents referred to by Lords Westmeath and.Glem7all in their complaints against the trial-administration of Lord Mulgrave. It will thence appear, that whatever may have been the case with trifling offences, those of a more serious and revolting character have in no respect diminished. —Times. Before we again address our readers the present Parliament shall have met for the last time—its legis lative labours shall have closed, and it shall only have to wait its formal dissolution. Little as it has done, and much as it has failed to do, yet, considering the base and factions auspices under which it was called into existence, and the atrocious influences employed to mould its constituent elements to purposes of evil, it can scarcely be said to have fallen short of the antici pations which were formed of it. The Municipal Corporation Reform of England, and the purification of the criminal code from its grosser pollutions, inde pendently of other minor acts of amelioration, plead with irresistible force against a verdict of unmitigated condemnation. As to those measures'whicli it has failed to accomplish, we need not particularise them, neither need we enter upon a discussion of the causes to which the failure is attributable, nor the parties to whom blame should attach. Every thing now rests with the people and constituent body of the United Kingdom. To them is the decisive appeal about to be made, and no matter where blame may have attached for the transgressions and deficien cies of the expiringParliament7 it is the people them selves, fore warn ed as theyrs andn now are, and having the conduct of th e i r ministe rs be fore them, with th e means in t r h ege o se w t i l i tati ha ve n s fu dso ll t y . ex pelling every defaulter from the representative trust — it is the people and the constituent body itself who will be responsible for the actions of the next Parli amen t. The Queen— Heave n p reserve h er from the machina tions of her and the p eop l e ' s enem i es I --has given gracious and glorious pled ge o f h er adherence to the principles of civil and religious liberty, and of her de sire to carry into effect the ameliorations of our insti tutions contemplated in the Reform Act. The pledge has been repeated emphatically, and though the Tory Press represent it as merely the language of Ministers, yet our beloved Queen is known to possess an energy of character in adhering to what she believes to be right, which would not suffer her to succomb to any dictation contrary to her own convictions. The language is the language of both the Queen and her Ministers, and it is this which strikes faction with despair, and excites hope and exultation in a long-forbearing, expectant, and too often disappointed people. By their loyalty and love to their Sovereign, not less than by the dictates of self-interest, are the people of this empire now called upon to crush the faction which has impeded Wheat.

CONVEYANCE OF PASSENGERS (THAMES) the accomplishment of those principles to which her Majesty has so graciously professed her adhesion, in thus early identifying herself with the cause of Re form ! Let not the result of the approaching erec tions give her reason to suppose her good intentions to have been deceptive I Let not the accursed conspira tors against a nation's rights have the opportunity of pointing to the next House of Commons as a proof of " re-action," d saying to her Majesty—" The people are indifferent to Reform—your Majesty has mistaken the public sentiment I" w The Tories are attempting to frighten her Most Gracious Ma jesty from that propriety of . conduct, and adhesion to the sentiments of her people which she has hitherto manifested, by imaginary fears of anarchy, revolution, &c. ; but let us see from what quarter arises the greatest danger to our institutions. Let us look to the first proceedings of the King of Hanover— the perfect and horrible incarnation of Tory iniquity— the patron of Orangeism—the most unliked ma❑ of his time. Let us look to his first proceedings on taking possession of his kingdom. Scarcely had the late Duke of Cumberland, now King of Hanover, arrived in his dominions, than, without consulting either his Parliament or his Ministers, but obeying the impulse of his own despotic will, he annuls the Constitution granted by his late Majesty to his Hanoverian subjects. This is the man in whose favour the Tories and Orangemen endeavoured to set aside the succession of our present Queen. His first act is to declare his own will to be paramount to all other authority in the State, and to deprive the Hanoverians of all rights but those 'which his Hanoverian Majesty may be pleased to concede. In the letters patent abolishing , the Hanoverian Constitution, it is declared that the Con stitution does not correspond with the will of the Sove reign, who, as he states— " Being resolved shortly to make known to our faithful people our views on this most important subject, we do not hesitate to declare that we cannot find in the Constitution, which neither in form nor substance is binding on us, a sufficient guarantee for the permanent prosperity of our faithful subjects, whose welfare it will be our most earnest endeavour to promote, according to the duties imposed on us by Divine Providence. Meantime it is far from our intention to take our royal resolution on this im portant matter without a careful examination of all the circum stances. It is, on the contrary, our royal will to devote the most careful consideration to the question whether and how far a modification of the Constitution must take place, or whether the Constitution should be brought back to what it was before the promulgation of the present Constitu tion. After which we shall convoke the General Assembly of the States, and impart to them our royal resolution. Our faithful subjects formerly enjoyed happiness and satisfaction un der the ancient hereditary constitution of the kingdom : a bond of attachment, and loyalty and confidence in their Sove reign, descending from generation to generation, promoted the happiness of the Sovereign, and the welfare of the sub jects. We most earnestly wish to establish such a happy state of things." People of England, look on this picture and on that presented in the gracious and patriotic declaration of our beloved Queen, and say which will you choose. Will you have all the rights for which you have strug gled and bled annulled by a royal proclamation after the manner of the King of Hanover ; or will you have the spirit of Reform, as is proposed by our own good Queen ? This is the question ; for the Duke of Cum berland only follows in Hanover the policy which, if they dared, his associates the Tories would pursue in this country.—Morning Adveraser. THE MARKETS.

BILL, The Duke of RICHMOND, in the absence of his Noble Friend the Earl of Devon, stated that the Com mittee appointed by their Lordships to consider of the best mode of regulating the conveyance of pas sengers on the river Thames- had not agreed to any report, but had examined several witnesses, and had directed the evidence to be laid on their Lordships' table. The Noble Duke then moved that the evidence be prinited. —Ordered. COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUSINESS. Lord BROUGHAM said that the Committee which their Lordships had appointed to inquire into the mode of conducting the public and private business of the House had necessarily been obliged, in consequence of the sudden termination of Parliament, to confine their in quiries and their report to one of the branches of their inquiry, namely, the private business of the House.— (Hear, hear.) He hoped the Committee would be re-appointed at an early period of the ensuing Session, when he had no doubt that improvements equally impor tant and beneficial as those which had been suggested would be adopted. A Committee of the other House had been appointed to inquire into the same subject, but he did not find, on looking at the Votes, any change re commended by that House in the mode of conducting the private business of the House nt all- parallel to the change which their Lordships would introduce in - the recommendation of their Committee. Tha Commercial Railway Bill vas read a third time and passed.. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented a petition from a place, the name of which we could not learn, against the abolition of Cburisb-rates. Lord BROUGHAM presented two petitions from Dis senting co:igregations in the country, praying for the abo lition of Church-rates. NEW POOR LAW AMENDMEN r BILL. Earl STAN HO PE presented several petitions from places in lluntingdon and Canbridger,hire, praying for the total repeal of the new Poor Law Act, and that the poor might ha restored to their just rights. The Noble Earl stated that the petitions were not signed by the persons ‘s,ho attended the meetings at which they were adopted, but by the chairman of the meeting, the Rev. Mr. Moberly. The Earl of RADNOR said that the petitions were all drawn up by the same person, and were worded in the same way, and were signed by the same individual, as Chair man of tiv2 several meetings. He was sure, therefore, the petitions could not. be received as the petitions of any par ticular portion of the community. Ezrl STAN HOPE said the petitions were adopted at different meetings, though the same chairman presided in each instance. ..... Lord BROUGHAM concurred with his Noble Friend (the E4rl of Radnor) that the petitions could not be re garded in any other light than as the petitions of an indivi dual, and as there were several of them, all precisely the same, he did not see how they could be entered on the Journals of the House. . The Bishop of NORWICH said that the person who got up these petitions was one of the clorgymen in his dio cese, and he thought it strange that he should endeavour to excite insubordinatien to the laws of the country. He had received a letter from. the Curate of Mr. Moberly, in which he stated that he (Mr. Moberly) refused to • pay him his salary. Under these'circumstances he (the Bishop of Norwich) thought it strange`that this individual should venture to come before the public in this way. • Lord PORTMAN said that Mr. Moberly was not a man to whose opinions much weight ought to be attached. They were not entitled to the same deference as those of the man who discharged his duties to society, that of paying his debts included.—(A lough.) The Earl of SALISBURY did not thing that their Lordships should convert the circumstance of some peti tions being presented from a particular individual to at tack that individual in his absence, and when he had no means of defending himself. The Bishop of HEREFORD strongly condemned the conduct of Mr. Maberlv in the course he had pursued in reference to the New Poor Law •Act. The Duke of RICHMOND complained of the intern- perate and improper manner in which the petitions were worded. In one part it was stated that the paupers in the workhouse were shut up in prisons, and never saw the light of heaven. If he (Mr. Mabcrly) was to go on in the course he was now pursuing he (the Duke of Richmond) doubted whether he would ever see the light of heaven, —(Laughter.) It would be much better for him to at te,i,d to the interests of his flock, than to be going about theough the country, endeavouring to excite the people to dissatisfaction with the laws of their country. Earl STANHOPE said if the House did not receive these petitions the right of petitioning that House was only a farce. He hoped, however, the people would never cease exerting themselves until they removed such a great national grievance as the Poor Law Act Amendment Bill. He would advise the people to agitate, agitate, agitate, un til they obtained the abolition of this obnoxious and detest able measure.—(Hear.) The Bishop of NORWICH was a strong advocate of the new Poor-law—(Hear)—because he had had opportu nities of noticing its operations, and he was convinced it conferred great blessings on the poor. From all his obser vations he was confident that its provisions were beneficial to the poor. EarfSTANHOPE.—I say the new Poor-law is cruel, oppressive, unjust, and detestable. One of the petitions I have presented is signed by 1,800 persons of Stroud, all of the same opinion.—(Hear.) Lord PORTMAN was convinced that since the pass ing of the new Poor-law Bill the rates of most parishes had been considerably reduced. The new Poor-law Act had brought to light some of the grievances of the old system, and in no point was it more forcible than in the case of rating small cottages. He was convinced all cottages above a certain amount of rent ought to be rated to the landlord and not to the occupier, and that cottages below a c ertain rent ought not to be rated at all.—(Hear, hear.) If the Noble Earl would turn his attention to this subject he would do much more good than by advising the people to a gitate for a repeal of the present law.—(Hear.) The Duke of RICHMOND was anxious to call the attention of her Majesty's Government to the subject al luded to by his Noble Fri en d— name l y , t h a t o f r ating cot tages. It wasin his opinion most important that all cot tages above a certain rent —say Si. a y e ar—should be rated to the landlord ; and that cottagei not above 2/. or 3/. a year should not be rated at all.---( Hear, hear.) lie regretted that so much agitation should be goieg forward against the new Poor-law, which agitation was much increased by the sanduct of the Noble Earl.—( Hear, hear.) He expressed deep regret that clergymen should join in agitation against a law of the land. They had higher duties to perform, and ought not to waste their time on such matters.—( Hear.) The Marquis of SALISBURY defended the clergy, and denied that they neglected their sacred duties for the pur poses of agitation, The Duke of RICHMOND did not include all the clergr. He could not do so, as he knew many of that body who were favourable to the measure.—(Hear, hear.) The Marquis of SALISBURY regretted that so much had been said on the subject of these petitions. With re gard to the rating of cottages, he trusted her Majesty's Government would see the necessity of bringing in some measure early next session to make the owners of cottages, rated above 71. per year, liable for the poor rates. Lord BROUGHAM was doubtful, if the rates were paid by owners of cottages, whether they would not raise the rent to the occupiers. After a few observations from the Marquis of Sams- BURY and the Duke of RICHMOND, in explanation, The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said landowners had refused in former years to build cottages on their estates, in consequence of the injurious working of the old Poor laws. He had no doubt that inconvenience would be in a great measure obviated by the working of the pre sent Bill.--(Hear, hear.) Earl STA NHOPE said he had for many years directed his attention to the subject of lowering cottage rents, but he had been unsuccessful in that as on many other subjects, simply from the fact of not being supported in his attempts. Agitation might be used for good as well as bad purposes, and he could not blame the people for agitating to obtain a repeal of the law, which, if not abolished, would throw the whole country into anarchy and confusion.—(Hear.) The petitions, as well as several others on the same sub ject, were then laid on the table. The Earl of RADNOR strongly condemned the con duct of the Noble Earl in night after night, by using hard words, attempting to inflame the minds of the poor against the Bill. The Noble Earl's conduct was most censurable, his statements were unfounded, and as fallacious as any ever made in tbat House. Earl STANHOPE repeated, if the Poor Law Bill was allowed to remain on the Statute Book, agitation, so far from being censured, would be highly commendable, and would probably prevent the anarchy and convulsions which must otherwise arise. The Bishop of HEREFORD was of opinion that tLe Cleric:34ln his diocese were in favour of the measure, and Me of them acted as Guardians under the present law.—( H ear.) The Bishop of NORWICH said, with the except;on of one dangerous agitator, all the Clergy in his diocese were favourable to the new system.. Lord BROUGHAM had too good an opinion of the people of this country to suppose they would be led into any agitation by the declamations of opponents to the New Poor-law Bill.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord then presented a number of petitions praying for a Reform of Municipal Corporations in Scotland, for the abolition of Church -rates, and on other subjects. . . Adjourned at half past seven o'clock until Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JULY 15. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter to four o'clock. Mr. Crafer, from the Treasury, presented papers, which were laid on the table. Mr. Campbell, from the East India House, presented resolutions of that Company, granting compensation to their servants. A Message from the Lords brought up the Dundee Water Works Bill (No. 2). Sir Augustus Clifford, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod here appeared at the table, and summoned the House of Commons to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to several Bills. The Speaker, attended by almost all the Members prc sent, immediately afterwards quitted the House. The SPEAKER having returned, acquainted the House that he had been to,the House of Lords, where the Royal assent had been given Py commission to several Bills, for which see Lords' report. C H ANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up papers by command of her Majesty, which were laid on the table. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Lords' amendments to the Offences against the Person Bill were taken into consideration. The NOBLE LORD stated that as these Bills effected very important changes in the Criminal Law of the country, it would not be desirable to postpone them for another Ses sion, otherwise it- would be advisable that the House would have more time to consider the alterations that had been made in these Bills in the House of Lords. With respect to the whole of the Bills, a change seemed to have been made altering the term of imprisonment from five years to three years, and with respect to the punishment of solitary confinement, the clauses to that effect in the several Bills had been altered, so that the punishment should not ex ceed one month at any time, and that it should not exceed three months in any one year.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") There was one ameniment which he thought an improve ment--it took away the capital punishment from the crimes against the Riot Act. It had long been his intention to do so, but he had some doubts whether that subject had not better be considered when the law of treason was consi dered. However, as it had been done by the House.of Lords, he had no objection to agree to it. He rejoiced to find the alteration which had taken place in the conduct of th . e House of Lords on this subject within a few years : it showed that the progress of public opinion was not neglected even there.—(Hear, hear.) _ . The Lords' amendments to all the Bills for the Amend ment of the Criminal Law were then agreed to, as were also the Amendments to the Central Criminal Court Bill. On the motion of Mr. P. THOMSON, the Lords' amendments to the Letters Patent Bill w;ire agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House agree to the Lords amendments to the Bills of Exchange Bill. The Bill in question had received the sanc tion of the Bank of England ; and that, in fact, the draft had been prepared by the respectable firm who acted as its soli citors.—(Hear.) It had also been approved of. by the great body of the mercantile and banking communities of the country. In moving, therefore, that the House do agree to the amendments made by their Lordships, he did not intend to abandon the principle of the measure as ori ginally introduced. Alderman THOMPSON could state from his own knowledge that the Bank was decidedly favourable to the Bill as originally introduced, but he would say that had he been in the I - louse when the Bill was in. Committee, he should most decidedly have moved the limitation of the operation of the Bill to Bills of Exchange not having more than six months to run. Mr. WARBURTON said the worthy Alderman must be aware that a very large and extensive class of bills were drawn at longer dates than s i x mont h s , and therefore it was most unfair to exclude such bills from the operation of the present Act. He feared, on these grounds, that it would be necessary to reintroduce the Bill next year, and he hoped that one years' experience would satisfy. both branches of the Legislature of the bene ficial operation of the Bill. The Governor of the Bank of England had merely introduced the words "twelve months" instead of" six months," as an inducement to the House of Lords to pass the Bill. After a few words from Lord SANDON, Mr. P. TIIOMPSON had a very extensive connexion with the mercantile classes, and could state that their opi nion almost, universally was that the insurance laws should be altogether done away with. After a remark from Mr. G. F. YOUNG, The Lords Amendments were agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought up papers, by com mand of her Majesty, which were laid on 'the table. The Order of the Day for the consideration of the Lords' amendments to the Municipal Corporations Act was then read. Lord J. RUSSELL said the present Bill afforded a fair sample of the manner in which business was expedited in the other House. It had been sent up on the 27th February, and returned on June 1. This did not give any great promise that if many Bills had been sent up they would have been got through within a reasonable time. The inconvenience which had resulted from the suspension of the operation of the Act in some of the Boroughs, had induced him (Lord John Russell) to come to the conclusion that rather than delay its operation for another year—that House should not insist upon its amendments. He should therefore move that that House do not insist upon the amendments made by it. Mr. HAWKINS must oppose the motion of the Noble Lord. He thought it strange, if not indecent, that the party who had particularly insisted in the other House on two amendments, by which the towns of Newcastle and Rochester would be injured, was a Noble and Learned Lord (Wynford), whose son was then an avowed candidate for Rochester. He must, he repeated, say that he thought such conduct astonishing. He (Mr. Hawkins) thought that respect for public opinion, if no other consideration slid, wo uld have prevented the Noble and Learned Lord from a cting in this manner. I\r. A l l't . er E a s n T o c h o se uitT rvation p f r r o o t m est S e i d r JOHNagainst the in which the CAMPBELL. the name of his friend, Lord Wynford, had been introduced into that House. Mr. BARCLAY made an observation, the purport of which did not reach the Gallery, when The SPEAKER said that it was desirable to avoid any thing like personality. Mr. BAItCLAY thoucrlit the Noble Lord was quit" justified in moving that the House do not insist upon its amendments. Mr. HAWKINS persisted in his opposition to the motion. The Gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place, Mr. Hawkins not pressing his opposition- to Lord J. Russell's motion. The Lords' Amendments were then agreed to, and the Bill was passed. HANOVER. Colonel THOMPSON gave notice that he would on Monday put a question to her Majesty's Ministers, with the view of ascertaining whether they believed that the ex tracts which appeared in the morning papers, copied from the Hanover journals, stating that the King of Hanover was about to change the Constitution of that country, were authentic. The SPEAKER. would take the chair at a quarter past one on Monday. Two or three papers were then brought up, after which the House adjourned, at six o'clock. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer of Saturday.) LEEDS.—Tire trade of Leeds improves. Some of the recently unemployed hands have been set to work ; and the price of goods arc slightly on the advance. HECKMONDIVIKE.—The Blanket Hall continues to be better attended by the buyers than it has latterly been, and more business doing—chiefly for the home trade. DEWSBURY MARKET.—We are at length 'tibia to an nounce an improvement in the demand for blankets, drug-, gets, paddings, flushings, &c., at this market. There was a better attendance of merchants on Wednesday than for some time past, and a considerable quantity of business was transacted at rather better prices: BRADFORD.—In the piece market on Thursday there was more demand for goods, but the electioneering bustle , impeded business. Yarns are firm, but not higher ; stoclit in hand low. Combing- wool advanced a trifle ; and it ik‘ , generally expected that prices will now gradually creep up , . ward. The new clip turns out better than was anticipated. HALIFAX MARKET, JULY 7.—Our market, which' bas" been holden this day (Friday), as previously announced, has been conducted in a similar spirit to that which we have recorded for the last two or three weeks. The merchants have not been willing to g ive the advanced prices, which the manufacturers have been compelled to demand, and consequently little business has been done in our Piece Hall. HUDDERSFIELD.—More activity was visible here on Tuesday, but prices do not improve. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JULY 10.—There has been another brisk market to-day, though probably riot quite so many pieces were sold as on the previous Monday. Prices are still low, but rather inclined to advance. Wool has undergone little or no variation, though the manufactu rers are more willing to purchase. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 13.—T0-day has brought us a better supply, both of wool and buyers, than has hi therto been seen this season, and the lots have, upon the whole, been pretty well sold up, still, however, there are no conceivable alteration in prices.from our last week's re ports. Very good bred hog 1 lid. to 13d. ; half hog an 4 ewe 9id. to 1I d. ; all ewe Bd. to 9d. ; locks (with cots) 5d., Ditto (without cots) sd. ; Scotch wool 4id. per lb. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JULY 15. The demand for Cotton continues steady, and the common and middle qualities of American are freely offered and barely support last week's quotations ; other qualities continue in demand at steady . prices. Egyptian is freely offered, and has declined 1 4d. per lb. during the week. In Brazil, Pernam is more saleable at full prices; - Bahia and Maranham are in fair demand at former rates. Surat is in fair demand, but is freely offered at current rates. The sales of the week amount to 24,300 bales, including 1,000 American on speculation, and 2,350 American, 300 Egyptian, 1,400 Surat, and 600 Benial for export, namely— d. d. d. d. 70 Sea Islands l5 to 25 Demeraras 0 to 0 Stained ditto 0— 0 Peruvians 0— 0 3,850 Uplands 4i 7 50 Laguayris 6l— 0 • 5,800 Mobile, &c. 74 1,900 Surats 9,320 New rleans... 4i 8i 600 Bengals 600 Egyptians 7l. —l3 Carthagenas 0 0 810 Pernams, &c 74 9%1 Manilla 0 0 680 Bahias - ) 600 Maranhams 7 —8 I - Barbadoes Sawginned 0— 0 JO Smyrna 6l— 0, Bales.
