TRADE OF LEEDS, Tuesday. —We have had no feature'
in the market this morning that needs notice ; it has
been steady, and about an average Tuesday's business
transacted. The tone is firm, and the principal trade
continues to be in light summer fabrics.

HUDDERSFIELD, fuesday.—All branches of the staple
manufacture stand well. Both the home and foreign
merchants are busy, and not only does the cloth trade
continue to present an aspect of animation which speaks
of quick and safe sales, but the warehouses appear, in
their quiet, yet sustained traffic, to promise a year of
unusual prosperity. Prices are of course slightly en-
hanced, and stocks are regularly decreasing.

TRANMERE LOCAL ACT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMF

Sir,—qhe Home Secretary having appointed
Mr. R. E. Gorst, sUrgeon, to call a meeting of the
inhabitants in order to their adoption of the Local
Act for this parish, and, as considerable difference
of opinion prevails as to the advisability of adopt-
ing the act, under existing circumstances, I would
advise that eVery ratepayer,-WhO possibly can, do
attend the- meeting on Friday evening, and that
the speitk.rs, for and against, be allowed fair play.
The step proposed to be taken is a very serious
one, not only for the present population, but for
a future ; and, if we can only so far control our
likes and dislikes as to give the matter fair dis-
cussion, without converting the affair into a " boar
garden," the defeated party will, no doubt, be
better satisfied if the matter has been fairly dis-
cussed ; and it is proved to be a fact that a majority
of the ratepayers are favour of the adoption of
the Local Act, with all its powers and responsi-
bilities. For myself, I have an opinion, but am
open to conviction, and I have some dislike to the
notion of some hundreds of ratepayers making
themselves scarce when they consider the conse-
quences of their own act, either on one side or the
other. Fair play for everybody on Friday night.
-Yours, Mr.'Editor, GROSVENOR-STREET.

In the Court of Divorce, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
delivered judgment in the case of Robinson v. Robinson
and Dr. Lane, and after an elaborate review of the case,
the petition was dismissed. An application for costs on
behalf of Mrs. Lane was refused. On a similar applica-
tion from Dr. Lane, the Lord Chief Justice said he would
give no opinion on the subject. The learned counsel
might renew the application, if he thought it necessary
in the exercise of his discretion,
