WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.)

LEEDS, Sept. 7.—There have been very few buyers in
the town during the current week, and amongst the
wholesale houses there is only a limited business done.
The c unary trade houses are brisk.
BRADFORD, Sept 6.—There was an average attend-
ance at our market to-day. Althouilh there was a good
inquiry for combing wools, the market was somewhat
quieter, compared with the brisk business of last week,
owing to the staplers being unwilling to part with their
stocks at the prices generally offered ; in the tran.ac-
tions that took place former prices were firmly main-
tak ed.

HALIFAX, Sept. 7.—Nothing at all materially different
from last week's report of the trade of this market has
characterised the progress of the yarn and piece depart-
ments up to the present.
MANCHESTER, Sept. 7.—We have had a steady mar-
ket. The demand for cloth, without being large, it,
pretty regular. Prices are firm.
BARNSLEY.—In the Barnsley linen trade we are gla,'t•
to have to record a little improvement.

MlNES.—Speaking generally, the mining market has
not been very active this week, though a fair demand
has existed for a few favourite mines. Cliffords have
been enquired after at 245 to 255, being a great rise upon
late quotations. Rosewarnes have reached 260'; 'lender,
51 to 51 ; Sortridge Consols improved to 61, 7, upon the
good report received last account day, but afterwards
receded to 61, eg. West Sortridge receded to 7s. 6d.,
84. ; the lode here, it is expected, will be cut in about a
fortnight. Since our remarks upon Wheal Grenville
were ?written last week, a personal inspection of the
mine has been made by a correspondent, and his report
will be found in another column. East Frongochs have
been sought after, at 14s. to 164 ; West Seton, 350 ;
South Frances, 650 to 660. At North 'Unity, the lode
the 56 fm, level is worth 151. per fm. Craddock Moors
have been in demand, and have advanced to 20.

nounce the arrival in that city of M. Bour6e, French
Plenipotentiary to the Court of Persia. He was ad-
mitted to a private audience on the sth of July, when
he presented his credentials to the Schab, with whom he
afterwards had a long conversation.
THR LIICAN FARMS IN MAYO.—Major-General the
Earl of Lucian, who is not less known as a practical agri-
culturist than as a commanding officer of cavalry, is
about to effect an extensive clearance (of sheep) off his
extensive farms in the county of Mayo. Of his flock of
12,000, 4,000 are announced for sale by auction, and the
lands to be so cleared, amounting to 3,000 acres, are to
be given up for the immediate occupation of tenants, to
whom lettings have recently been made.
