STATE OF TRADE.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—The market on Saturday was one
of the best that has been known 'at Leeds for many weeks,
yet the aggregate quantity of business done was only small
in comparison with that which, in ordinary times, is usually
transacted, and prices remained much the same. On Tues-
day the market was again all it one. Some firms which, a
few weeks ago, were doing nothing, are now working full
time, and others who lately discharged numbers of hands
are recalling them to their employ ; yet there are many still
out work whose sufferings are great beyond comparison.
BRADFORD MARKET.—On Thursday presented a marked
improvement upon recent market days. Not only was there
a larger attendance of merchants and buyers, but the prices
of goods were much firmer, a circumatance which may be at-
tributed both to the smallness of stocks and the refusal of
the wool-growers to part with their present year's clip on
the present low and ruinous terms. The stocks of finished
goods on hand is understood to be unusually small, so that
any considerable extension of the demand must be imme-
diately felt by the operating classes.
DEWSBURY MARKET.—We arc glad to be at length
able to announce a decided improvement in the demand for
blankets, druggets, paddings, flashings, &c., at this market.
There was a better attendance of merchants than there has
be n for some time, and a considerable quantity of business
transacted at rather better prices. We think this market
ere long will answer very well both for merchants and ma-
nufacturers, the situation being so central.
HALIFAX MARKET, JULY I.—The improved feeling of
confidence which we have for some weeks Past noticed is
fully maintained in our market to-day. We cannot report
any increase of business in our piece ball ; this, however,
may be accounted for from the manufacturers being unwil-
ling any longer to accept the extreme low prices which,
during the recent stagnation in business, many of them were
either induced or compelled to submit to. We are not san-
guine enough to anticipate any material improvement in
prices ; but we trust the manufacturers have acted wisely
in the determination they appear to have come to. We are
indeed very well informed that even the present low rates
at which wool of every description is selling will not enable
them to replace their stocks at remunerating prices.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, JULY 2.—The mar-
ket has been brisk to-day, and more business done than
for many weeks past. The demand was chiefly for low
and middle qualities of flannels. Prices continue very low ;
but there are evident signs of improvement. The wool market
was also livelier than for some weeks back ; and a fair pro-
portion of business was done. Prices the same as last week.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 6.—lt again devolves
upon us the painful duty of reporting the transactions of
this day's market, painful because the fond hopes we
cherished, last week, viz. prices had seen their lowest, and
that henceforward we might expect prices would progres-
sively improve, has been blighted. It is true our supply
has been better than of any previous market this season, and
of an improved quality, and we have also had a fair at-
tendance of buyers, yet, notwithstanding, prices have re-
trogaded from our last week's report, and fully one-fourth
of the wools shown remain over to the next week, unsold.
SHEFFIELD.—We are sorry to say there is no amend-
ment of trade her ; every week adds a few more to the
number of unemployed mechanics. In spite of the reports
of the arrival of money, the merchants show no disposition
to commence operations, a clear proof the arrivals are not
large, and we see no prospect of anything like good trade
this year ; but we hope that confidence will be so far re-
stored as to cause a moderate demand for goods.—lris of
Tuesday.—Leeds Intelligencer.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY B.—Extraet of a letter from an tj
officer of his Majesty's ship Magicienne, dated Cadiz, Rive 4
`2lst, 1837 f----#' The Inconstant left this port on the 19ti; ,ll
instant, and we accompanied her to try our rate of aailing.%
The weather was very fine, with light breezes almost all the
Itl
time w
however, yesterday morning, we had as much as ck
could carry, single reefed topsails and top-gallant sails too,
with smooth water, and, I think, on the whole, we held
the Inconstant a very good tug. At 9h. 30m. yesterday
morning, we made the signal ' permission to return to Cia-
diz,' and also to ask Captain Pring's opinion of our sailing ; ',
the answer was, ' superior to Pique,' and ' equal to Incon-k
stant.' We were beating to windward all the time."
The Princess Charlotte, 110, Captain Fanshawe, with
the flig of the Admiral the lion. Sir Robert Stopford, sailed. -.
on l'llootlay, for Malta, to relieve the Caledonia, 120, in .41
,vhich ship sif Josias Rowley (who is succeeded in his
command by Sir Robert Stopford) will return to England. t
The Hazard, 16, Commander Wilson, and Partridge,. I.
10, Licht, Bisson, are ordered to proceed to the coast
of Africa, for the protection of the gum trade at Portendic :i
during the season. 1A
The Serin,rapatam, 46, Captain John Leith, sailed ongi
Sunday for the West Indies (to relieve the Belvidera),
having under her convoy for Nassau, the Romney receiving- '-
ship (intended to lay at the Hevanuah). Col. Cockburn, :.
the Uovernor of the Bahamas, took passage in the Romney.t
The Hercules, 74, Captain Sir J. G. Breemer (acting),
Castor, 36, Capt. E. Collier, and Pique, 36, Hon. Capt.lt
Bata. sailed on Thursday for Cadiz, where they will be t
joined by the Inconstant, 30, Capt. Pring, when the rc- ',
lative sailing qualities of these ships will again be put to
,::;,
the test. The cruize, it is understood, is not to extcnd be- 1
yond three weeks.
The Speedy cutter, Lieut. Joseph M Mottley, arrived
on Thursday, from Santander, and sailed again for Sheer- I,
ness to refit.
The Atholl troop ship, Mr. Karley, Master, arrived on
Tuesday, from Sunderland, and came into Harbour to re--.:'4
fit, preparatory to taking troops to the Mauritius. The,

Comet steamer and the Sylph tender, arrived on the same'
day from Woolwich—the latter returned to Sheerness, and
the former went on to Plymouth, on Thursday. The it
ilParmelia transport sailed on Tuesday, with provisions for •
the squadron on the North Coast of Spain.
The Hornet and Lapwing are to be brought forward at 1
Chatham for the packet-service. iiii
A gross instance of want of attention to the sea-worthi-a
ness of ships—particularly those crowded with emigrants, '
has just 'been brought to light in the case of the ship Ed- I 1711

ward, Metcalfe, master, now discharging her cargo in this
harbour in order to enable her to be docked. This ship 4
left London with 160 German emigrants, and was bound
to New York, but made such an alarming quantity of water ;.4
that the crew refused to proceed in her, although the mas-
ter withheld provisions from them on account of their refu-
sal for three days. The German emigrants had also pro-
tested against her condition, and the Secretary of State ,
has sent down an officer to investigate the circumstances.

oakum in some of the buts, and it is very doubtful whether A
she can undergo sach a repair as to make her sea-worthy. -11,

A Court-martial was held on board the Royal Adelaide
on Friday and Saturday last, for the trial of Captain Si,
Thomas Fellowes, late Captain of the Pembroke, for disobe-
dience of orders in going into Gibraltar Bay, instead of pro-
ceeding to Malta ; and also to inquire into the circumstance
of the Pembroke getting on shore while in the sma Bay.
The Court, having heard evidence for the prosecution an(
defence, passed the following sentence—that the charge hay
been proved ; and admonished Capt. Sir Fhomas Fellewe
to be more circumspect in future. It appeared by the evi
deuce adduced upon the latter inquiry, that Sir Thome
Fellowes had declined adopting the suggestion of Comman
der Aldridge, and Mr. Hemsley, the Master, to moor th,
ship with the bower anchors ; both considering the ship un-
safe at single anchor, with a strong Levant N.E. wind.
