PRE failures have been so numerous the last few months in the Linen trade; that the Assignees of the estate of JAMES FERGUSON arid CO., Bankrupts, Linen Merchants, of Coleman-street-buildings, put up the Stock for sale three separate times, at the Sale ROOM, Commercial-lane, without a single offer. BROOKS and CO. having been informed of the circum stances, waited ou Mr. Stewart, of Ironmonger-lane, the Soli citor, and offered to dispose of the Stock to the Public in six weeks, at such reduction as is necessary to turn it into cash immediately, Brooks and Co., contrary to the first intention, have deter mined to dispose of it to private families, in parcels of five to twenty pounds worth, at an unheard-of reduction. The Stock consists of Linen of every possible description, as Sheetings, Table-cloths, Napkins, Diapers, Huckabacks, &c., and the reduction will be about the following : s. d.

FP - ITE Proprietors of the invaluable Bemeciy, so well known as PARR'S LIFE P., S, are constantly receiv ing from all parts of the United Kingdostances of their astonish ing curative powers . It would be imposs•ble to bring all the cases before the public, suffice it to say, that cases of every description have been cured simply by their use, thus showing tli hat has been con sidered different disorders, and requiting dffie pat , nent, all 4F R ori ginated in the same cause, namely, an iinpure'tita d'aCthe blood, and can be cured by one uniform treatment. Parr's Life Ms; although powerful In conquering disease, yet are as pure and harmless as new milk, and may be administered with confidence to the invalid, how ever weakly from long ill health, who will soon enjoy those delightful semi units of a return to strong health, viz., good appetite, sound 41 , •ep, and an increase of animal spirits. To have produced a medicine a o benign and mild in its operation and effects, and yet so effectual in searching out and curing disease of. however long standing, exhibits en the part of Old l'arr deep research and a thorough knowledge of his subject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long ost secret to the world, feel confident when they make the asser tion—that none need despair, that if only a fair trial be given, the result will be a restoration to health and happiness. Whenever a medicine, or indeed'any other article becomes esta blished in the estimation of the public, and a large sale is created, there arc always needy and unprincipled adventurers ready to deceive the public by putting forward imitations under similar names, not hesi tating, by the most barefaced and unblushing effrontery, to support their false statements, alike regardless of the injuries they inflict on the purchasers, and the injustice they are guilty of to the proprietors.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, APRIL 29. —The trade in Foreign Wool has shown no symptoms of improvement the week ; prices, however, are pretty firm. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL 29.—The de mand for English wool.tlnaweek Eq been of the same character as noticed in our late reports. tengency of prices is still downwards. CHESTERFIELD WOOL MARKET, APRIL 26.—The wool trade in this quarter scarcely furnishes any new feature. This article has been rapidly decreasing in value for some time past, and still remains in a very flat state, which may be mainly at tributed to the wretched state of trade in the manufacturing districts of' Yorkshire, combined with the large importation, from Australia and other quarters. TRADE or LEEDS.—There has been a little more business done at the Cloth Halls this week in low fancy cloakings and tweeds, but with this exception the demand for goods of a general description has been quite as dull as for some time past : prices are steady. The same dull state of business con tinues in the warehouses ; few buyers are in the market, and those who do come buy with the greatest caution, and for pre sent need only. TRADE OF 110L3IFIRTH.—Nerer were the mills in this dis trict so badly employed as they have been during the pas' month. Many of the weavers, &c., who work in their own houses, and who for a long time have not had half work, are now completely thrown adrift. We are tired of alluding either to causes, consequences, or remedies for this state of things, but now the most rigid of the Tories admit that things have gone worse and worse ever since Sir Robert Perl came into office. BRADFORD MARKET, purchase of piece goods by the merchants attending our market to-day has been of a very cautious character, and nothing appears to be doing except to actual order. This is also met by the manufacturers, who are only delivering a limited portion of work out to their weavers, thus preventing any increase in stock or decline in price. There is a slight falling off in the demand for yarns since our last report ; but w•e do not hear that sales are effected at lower rates. Spinners have for some time past been pro ducing nothing to ctoek, choosing rather to curtail their pro duetion than accumulate. Short-Cm° working is quite as ge neral as during any period of last year; and without some considerable improvement, we fear the cond,tion of the opera tives will g,ow worse instead of better. During the we, k there has been only a limited business doing in wool, nor can we learn there is any improved demand to-day. Prices rather on the dec:ine. For fins noils there are more inquiries, and very little stock on hand; 16:Ts firm. —Leeds Mercury. I3onr or -v WOMAN rouND IN TILE SERPENTINE.— Early on Friday morning the body of a woman—its freshness proving it had not been long in the water—was found floating lifeless on the surface of the Serpentine river. The corpse was that of a female, whose stature had been about five feet one inch, and whose visage still appeared very round and full fea tured. Her age could not have been more than forty. The dress was a brown stuff gown, and cloak of the same colour ; a bonnet, trimmed with plaid ribbon, black worsted stockings and lor shoes. In order to give time for identification, Mr. Higgs will not hold the inquest on the body until Monday evening next. The - _Hclgien journals give an account of a singular pigeon-match between the Baron de W— and the Baron de H—, which came off on Thursday last, in the field between the gate and bridge of Lacken, in which the citizens of Brussels amuse themselves oa Sundays and fetes in shooting with the bow. Tho wager was for 100 Napoleons. Baron de W. was to fire from a tilbury, and Baron de IL from on horseback, and both were to be kept constantly in motion. The tilbury horse, being long past the frolics of youth, was supposed to be suffi ciently steady not to require a n y preeautions. Baron de H. appeared, mounted on a coach• horse belonging to Count d'O., also remarkably docile, but as he was never known to have been accustomed to firing, his eyes were bandaged with silk hand kerchiefs, and his ears filled with cotton. The spe:tators wet e extremely numerous, and the bets ran very high. The pigeons were let out of the trap in couples. The old coach-horse walked about with perfect gravity, and took no more notice oi the shots than if he had been a trooper throughout the revolu tionary war. The tilbury horse, however, broke into a gallop at every report; nevertheless, out of ten pi; eons in flight, the Baron de W. killed five, and the Baron di, H. only three; consequently the latter lost the stakes. TAKE CARE OF THE lINUTES."—A recent American paper narrates the following instance of the " im provement of time :"—" A tram of cars ran off the truck at Norwich, Conn., a few days ago, which occasioned some delay. During the interim a lady and gentleman jumped out of the ears, went. to the nearest justice and were married. They re turned in time for the cars and resumed their journey:" A person well dressed, and having the appearance of. being . in a respectable class of society, was observed walking a few days since in the Rue de Valenciennes at •La Villette, exhibiting symptoms of great excitement, particu• larly when any one seemed to observe him. • At length, in a moment of increased irritation from this cause, he took a pistol from his pocket, and discharged it at his own head, and dropped down dead. On being examined, his shirt was founkto be fastened with diamond buttons, and a brilliant ring yeas on one of his fingers. In his pocket was a paper, on which he had written in pencil—" 1 live at No. ‘:.O, flue Grenier-Saint- Lazare ;" but on sending an officer to this house with a descrip tion of the deceased's person, no one could recognise hint, nor, in fact, was any one of the inhabitants missing. His body was taken to the Morgue, and we do not learn that it has yet been claimed. The following atrocious fratricide was committed it few days ago at Saint Just-k-Pendue, in the Loire. The cri mina', whose name and station are not mentioned, having been to the Mayor to obtain, as it was supposed, a passport, but not finding him at home, returned, and was so eager to do the deed he contemplated, that he loaded his gun, and seeking his bro ther shot him dead in the presence of at least fifty persons. say ing it was better to kill than be killed. He took refuge in the house of a friend, where I n ' was followed by the police officers. They were told that he had concealed himself in the loft, ansi there they went in search of him ! but he was at the time in a room on the first floor, whence, with the assistance of his friend, he made his escape to the woods, and, for the present, remains undiscovered. A correspondent writes from Florence, that the mine of quicksilver, discovered last year in the environs of Pe ravezza, near Pisa, is in full work, and during the last month yielded more than 6,0001b5. ; a produce that is daily increas ing The Grand Duke had visited their:, and expressed his satisfaction - at the• able -- manner in-which they bad teed con ducted, announcing the intended appointment of a commi,•• Lion of French, English, Italian, and German geologists a'd chemists, to search for the other mines of quicksilver, which, according to tradition, exist in the Grand Duchy. THE ITALIAN OPERA. On Saturday evening Torquato 'lasso was performed for the debut of ,Madame Ronroni. This opera was brought out here two years ago for the debut of Coletti, an admirhble per former, whose engagement initead of Tamburini gave occasion to the " Tamburini row," which had the Affect of co, spelling Laporte to engage that singer, and to laftoletti on the shelf, who, however, has since been placed, by: the unanimous voice of Italy, in the highest rank of his profession. Coletti re ceived very great applause for his acting and singing in the character of Tasso, though the piece was generally disap proved of; and such, we believe, will be the case now. Ronconi's performance of the same character, by which, it is said, he laid the foundation of his continental reputation, was excellent. He certainly did not look the character of the youthful poet, the aspiring but favoured lover of the high horn Leonora of Este, so well as Coletti, who was singularly handsome and graceful ; but his performance was energetic and impassioned, and his singing was full of that expressive simplicity which we have already remarked as belonging to him. Madame Roncuni, in the part of Leonora, did not at first make a strikin„ . .. impression; but, as she proceeded, her powers de veloped themselves, and she merited and obtained general and cordial applause. In the air " L'affanno in cni penal" (one of the best things in the opera), she was loudly and warmly en cored ; and her appearance may be considered as decidedly suc cessful. Her voice is a mezzo soprano, of very pleasing qua lity, though not of great power. The theatre was crowded. The Queen, Prince Albert, and their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Prkace-ss Augusta . , were present ; and the boxes were filled with fashionable company. THEATRE ROYAL COVENT GARDEN., Madame Vestris elosedher season and her management at this theatre on Saturday night. when, whatever disappointments she may have previously experienced, the public exhibited their avpreciation of her abilities by filling her house to overflowing. The performances consisted of La Sonnambuia, Charles Mathews's farce of Patter v. Clatter, and the Easter extra- vaganza of The White Cat. After the second niece Charles Mathews came forward and delivered the following " Farewell Address":— "Ladies and Gentlemen—No seasons, excepting' Thomson's Seasons,' are endowed with immortality; and ours, having run the undeviating course marked eut for it on the railroad of Time, has arrived at its terminus. Following the railroad metaphor, may I venture to appeal to you for a certificate, under your hands, that the general line we have adopted has met with your approbation—(Loud applause)—that the engine has worked well—that the seats have been comfortable—(Hear)—the en tertainment satisfactory—the fares moderate—and the con ductors civil and attentive.—(Renewed cheering. ) " But let us leave the railroad, and return to the stage.— (Hear, hear.) I mean the' old, original Covent-garden stage —that stag', which we took with a view to running constantly from Covent-garden to the Bank.—( Applause. ) My partner and I have been its Directors for. three years, during which time we have endeavoured, at much personal and pecuniary sacrifice, to sow the seeds of that solid prosperity which we hoped would, one day, manifest itself in permanent satisfaction to you, and in a golden harvest to ourselves ; but, alas ! for ' the mutability of human affairs !' our first season was merely sowing—our second little more than hoeing ; and though the third has been growing, we must leave to other hands he fourth, which might have been our mowing.—( Cheers.) Why we have felt it our duty to quit these . premises, I will not intrude upon you to explain. Suffice it to say, that in quitting them, we leave not only our business, but our good will, to our successor—( Applause)—and if, Ladies and Gentle men, that successor should prove to be a gentleman—the ad mired representative of that thrice-honoured theatrical family— (Cheers)another gifted daughter of whose gifted house it is our pride to have brought so triumphantly under your notice— ( Renewed approbatien)—in that case, Ladies and Gentlemen, I can only say, that as far as one manager can 'forgive another' —(Laughter)—it will afford us much consolation should the change prove to be for his and your gain.—(Cheering.) " For Mrs. Mathews and myself, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg most unaffectedly to return you our humble and cordial thanks, for the unvarying kindness you have shown us. Both as actors and as managers we are deeply beholden to you ; and hereafter, whether as actors or managers—whether here or elsewhere—we trust that a proper sense of that kindness will be present, to animate and to sustain our best exertions for your amusement.--( Hear, hear. ) Ladies and Gentlemen, in the joint names of ourselves and the performers, I most respectfully bid you farewell." HAYMARKET THEATRE. Webster has taken advantage of the closing of Covent Garden to secure the services of the elite of the Covent Garden company.' Mrs. Nisbett and Mrs. Glover ap peared here on Saturday evening for the first time this season, in the Love Chase, by far the best comedy that Sheridan Knowles has as yet produced. Mrs. Nisbett's Constance has lost none of its fascinating natural hey deyishness. She seemed overflowing with fun, whim, and good-humour. Other ladies have acted the cha racter of Constance, and acted it well too, but Mrs. Nisbett is the very Constance herself. There is all the difference between the - COniftitire -of Mrs. Nisbett and the Constance of every other lady who has attempted the part, but there is a difference between nature and art. In the directly opposite cha racter of the Widow Green, the affected, old coquette, the husband-hunting Widow Green, Mrs. Glover was equally admirable. We cannot sufficiently admire the judicious discrimination displayed by Mrs. Glover in the performance of this very difficult character. The ►Vidow Green, with a mind naturally vulgar, has yet passed her life in a society which has given her manners an outward polish. She is not a vulgar woßmn, but a vulgar lady. Mrs. Glover never forgets this distinction ; with many temptations to overact the part, she never once " o'ersteps the modesty of nature." It were no diffi cult thing to draw down applause, and raise a laugh by making the part in broad caricature sketch. It isa difficult thing, requiring artistical talents of the highest order to bring out all the lights and shadows of the character, so as to make the whole a finished picture, and this it is that Mrs. Glover has accomplished, and accomplished in a manner so perfect, that at first sight the difficulties of the character seem less than they really are, in con sequence of the apparent case with which she overcomes them. Both ladies were called for at the conclusion of the Comedy, and were greeted with the most enthusi astic plaudits which they gracefully acknowledged. The announcement of the piece for repetition on Tuesday was received with general approbation. We perceive that Farren is engaged at this Theatre, and will, we presume, make his appearance on his return from his Northern provincial tour, so that this season Thalia will resume her reign in her favourite temple, " The little Theatre in the Haymarket," which wo hope. to seo crowded every night with a throng of laughter-loving worshippers of the most sprightly of the Muses.

Her 'Majesty's wish, that the guests at tin. hall should appear in the costume of the reign of,Edwarci the 'Third; has oecasi.ned a perplexi!) , to the Bishop .of Exeter and soma of his colleagues: the Reverend Fathers have expressed great reluctance to exhibit themselves in the,garb of Popish Pre= lates; and to the suggestion that they might go as Lollards; they have replied, "that would be worse, for the Lallards were Dissenters." Lord Lyndhurst fears that his appearance in the character of Chancellor to Edward the Third may give rise to bad jokes, by recalling the earnest prayer of the Commons to that Monarch, " that he would • appoint no alien Chancellor." A sensation has been excited by a report that . the Reverend Sydney Smith has consented to enact the part of Court .1 ester : Lord John Russell and the Bishop of London declare they will net go if be is to be allowed such a pretext for cracking his jokes upon them in the very presence. But a worse dilemma than any of them is that in which the Ambassadors from the various American States have found themselves. Tlie repre sentattve of the Union was annoyed simply because he had no' means of knowing what was the costume of his country in the time of Edward the Third; but the Lord Chamberlain relieved his apprehension by pointing to the example of the Highland gentry, who are going ". all plaided and umed in their tartan array," although it is notorious that this Harlequin garb was not invented or borrowed by the savages of North Scotland till some centuries later. The American bashfully replied, that although on this side of the Atlantic, considerable credit was given to his countrymen for modest assurance, yet all the world knows that they fall short of Highlanders in that respect : ultimately, how ever, he was persuaded to defy anachronism and appear as a North American Sachem. The dubieCes of the Mexican and South American Envoys have not admitted of so easy a solu tion : all antiquarian reserch has only corroborated their fears, that the drtss of their country at the period in question, must have been a great deal ton simple and airy for the present occa sion. Sir Allan M'Nab, in whom the self-possession of the Yankee and Highlander may naturally be supposed to be com bined, has set them a good example by resolving to go in the character of an Esquimaux.— Spectator. REVENGEFUL RECOLLECTION OF AN ELEPHANT. — A few days since John Glascott, groom to a gentleman named Turner, was conveyed to the London Hospital with a severe fracture of the leg, near the ancle. The injury was caused by an elephant, and is an additional ',roof that that animal is mindful (the expression is almost justifiable) of wrings, and seldom fails to resent them. On the morning of that day on which Glascott was taken to the hospital, he had been wit nessing the performances of an elephant then exhibited in a booth in the Commercial-road, East; and it is stated that he took it into his head to amuse himself by teasing the animal. Nothing more happened then ; but, is the after nom of the same day Glascott returned to the booth with his children, and, whilst they were intent on the feats of the animal, it suddenly wound its trunk round the man's leg, and did not uncoil it until the leg was fractured. The surgical treatment Glaseott received in the hospital at first succeeded ; • but-a day or two back. erysipelas-attacked_the system ; and ye's terdav terminated fatally. We are sorry to learn, that Charles Hindley, Esq., M.P., is suffering from severe indisposition, at Pau, in the south of France. PRICE 5d TRIVOO.2V TRAINS PORTUGAL.

LISBON, Amin. 25.—Some delay will necessarily take place in the negotiations about the commercial treaty, owing to a difficulty started by the Portuguese negotiator, and which will oblige Lerd Howard. to refer the question to the Government at home. What the Portuguese want is to ensure a continu ance of exclusive favours, as regards their wine,, &c., in our market; so that whatever treaties we might make subseqUently with other wine. growing countries, there shall always be - a lower duty on Portuguese wines than on any other. Our Government, I believe, is willing to make a very ex tensive reduction of duties on Portuguese products, for an equi valent reduction here on British cotton, woollens, hardware, and salt fish. It is understood that the duties on Portuguese ' wines would be reduced from ss. Gd. to 2s. 6d. per gallon ; that en Brandy from 21s. 611. to 10s., and Portuguese fruit, which now pays 7s. Gd. per chest, would be admitted at the merely nominal duty of Is. per chest. For such concessions as these, which would give an enormous impulse to the agricul tural interests, the Portuguese ought not to hesitate to reduce their duties on our staple articles to one half at least ; in bet, the principle should be to regulate the duties so as to amount to about .4) per cent, ad slalom/4 making sense exception, on the one hand,lin favour of additional protection to such branches of .manufacture as have been long established under the existing system, and on the other, reducing to a still lower amount than 20 per cent. the duties on such articles as are consumed exten sively by the poorer classes, and which do not enter into com petition at all with their home manufactures. The idea is tp appoint a commission of practical men, English and Portu guese, to examine the tariff, and the hearings of the-reductions proposed. The hitch that has now taken place is unfortunate ; and the interest of Portugal certainly is that there should be no unnecessary delay. The best exemplification of this afforded by the strenuous efforts making by the French and Spanish Ministers to prevent the conclus on of the treaty. The opposi tion of its two rivals in the British market ought to convince Portuguese statesmen how much their country would benefit by the proposed arrangement, It is reported that the Council of State have not yet come to a definite conclusion as to Baron Lagos's plan of converting the foreign into home stock. The idea of its supporters is to con vert no more than a million or two millions at present. It ap pears that Messrs. Neave and Co., of London, offer to deliver over to the Portuguese government a million of Five per Cents. Foreign Steck, to be exchanged for a million of Portuguese Four per Cents., payable at Lisbon, the parties receiving a commission of 2} per cent. We e this carried out, then the conversion of a further amount would be proeeeded with. The golden rose consecrated by . the Pope, and which con tained some relics within it, was presented to the Queen yes terday with much ceremony, at the Chapel of the NecessidadeS, by Monsenor D. Estavao Vizzardelli, councillor of the Papal legation, chamberlain to his Holiness, and his delegate here for the especial purpose of presenting this offering on the occasion of the baptism of the young Prince. It was made a religious ceremony, and after mass the delegate presented the golden rose, with a short speech, hoping that it would be the precur sor of the prosperity of religion in Portugal. The Queen re plied in suitable terms, expressing a hope that the acts of her reign would corrispond with the benevolent intentions of his Holiness. Monsenor Vizzardella received a gold snuff box set round with brilliants, and also the Commandership of the order of Christ, of which the nuncio has received the grand cross.

MERTHYR, APRIL 30.—Yesterday the accused, Richard Edwards, was brought up for examination before the Magis trates. The room in which the examination was taken anti the street in front were completely crowded by the multitude, and the prisoner, on being semoved from the police-station, was saluted with loud yells from the populace. The evidence which was given before the Coroner having been repeated, the following additional testimony was given:— Anne Williams, wife of Richard Williams, deposed that the wife of the prisoner came to her house the Saturday pre vious to the discovery of the murder. She said, her husband told ber to coMe, and that his mother was perfectly willing for her to come. Witness said she thought his mother was from home, as she had seen a cloak 'hanging over the window the whole of Friday, arid the door shut all day, and that she had seen the prisoner peepin g from the outside through the win dow ; he was pushing the cloak a little on one side through a broken pane. Witness told him his wife had been looking for him on the Saturday morning, rind asked him if ho had seen anything of his mother. The prisoner replied that he had seen her on the Thursday night, and that she was gone from home. His wife had not been living with him for the last three months. GowenriSif'lnnes -przllsi - IWt—titivitig - seen the old - woman alive on the 16th, which is two days later than was previously known. William Richards deposed to the prisoner's having beggep a bit of bread of him on the Sunday after he abscondod ; he said he had not had a bit that day, and on being asked how it was he was begging, he said that he had beim out of work two months; that he was single, and that he lodged near Dowlais Chapel. Several other witnesses were examined, but their testimony was unimportant. The prisoner was asked if he had anything to say, at the same time being duly cautioned. He replied that he would rather make his statement then, and said ( in Welch) that on Mon.. day morning I went to my mother's house. She had told me that she was going to Llanfabon on Friday, and would remain till Saturday morning. I asked Nary Treharne, the next door neighbour, if she had seen any one look ing for me, and when she had seen my mother? She said she had not s , en my mother since yesterday evening ; that my wife had been there on Saturday morning, and that her father had turned her out of doors. She also told me, that my wife was gone to Caer Drain, to a relation; I went there after her, and asked her if she would come with me. She at first refused ; but after a long Conversation she consented, and we left the house together. about 7 o'clock in the evening. When we wit to my mother's house there wai no fire, and my wife began to light it, while I went into Ewan Davis's shop. When I returned, my wife was sitting in the corner ; she told me my mother was under the'bed, dead. I said, " What did you say, girl?" She repeated what she had said. I went and looked, and got quite distracted. Peggy took hold of me, and told me to be pacified, and I said, " God, God, who has been here killing my mother." We both of us pacified ourselves, and then agreed to say she was from home. The prisoner was then fully committed to take his trial at the next. Glanaorganshire assizes. The Journal du Loiret states that the Mayor of Lorris, in the arrondissement of Montargis, had forbidden, under a penalty of from sf. t0.10f., any person under his juris diction to dance the galop. Ile has also prohibited the bond in the . Pastourelle from being executed •" so rapidly," as the order states, " as the ladies generally desire." The worthy functionary, in his excess of zeal for the morals of his com mune, has forgotten that the music must regulate the slowness or rapidity of the dancers' movements ; he should also, there.: fore, issue an order to composers to substitute the andante for the allegro movement.
