STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
LEEDS.—Our markets at the Cloth-halls continue in ti.e
same active state. as for the last. few weeks, more particu-
lar), for heavy goods, calculated for the winter _trade, the
stocks of which are very low, Considerable business has
been done in the warehouses during the week.
HODDEASFIELD.—Those interested in light goads
ac-
knowledge an, activity, in the market, but no general im-
provement can be quoted. •
BRADFORD.—The piece-market does not warrant oar re-
porting any,' improvement as compared with last week.
There appears not quite so much activity in the yarn-mar-
ket as for a few weeks past. The manufacturers cannot
obtain a remunerating price for goods, and therefore they
purchase yarn very cautiously. In the wool market we
cannot discover anything in the transactions of last week
more favourable to a continuance of present prices. It is
generally thought that wools are a shade lower again ; but
we do not perceive any valid reason to anticipate a material
alterationin prices for some time.
Dewsauae.-7-A little more business was done in the
blanket trade at the Piece-hall, but orders were taken ra-
ther reluctantly on account of the low prices offered.
ROCHDALE.—The demand for the finer and middle sorts
of flannel still
,continues, and considerable business hau(been
done in the lower sorts ; grey and dyed pieces are in good
demand. The pricesikreatatjonary— During the past week •
-many of the operatives have struck for an advance of wages,
and in many instances have been successful. The demand
in the wool-market is very limited.
WAKEFIELD.—The same heaviness that we have noticed
in our two or three last reports continuing to exist, its usual
effects have been produced on wool, and less prices are sub-
mitted to in some cases. This applies more particularly to
the heavier and lower descriptions of combing wool, whilst
the lighter and better sorts being in less stock, and greater
demand, best support their prices. Short wool of all sorts
meet dull sale at former prices.
YORE.—There has been a fair show of wool to this day's
market (Oct. 12), which has been sold off without any
alteration of price.
DONCASTER.—The last wool fair for the season was held
here this day (Oct. 7), and the late enhancement in price
has not been sustained ; indeed, we have beard of two or
three instances where the same price was offered as on the
first market day, and accepted. The quantity of wool
offered *vas large, but the number of purchasers was very
small, consequently a dull sale was experienced, at prices
Is. per stone below previous rates, about one-third of the
wool being left unsold. The following are the quotations—

(From the Liverpool Chronicle.)
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.—We have not had 80
gloomy a week as the present for a long time past, and it is
difficult to say what are the real prices of any article, aris-
ing from the fact that no buying on a large scale has taken
place, which is the only certain test as to real value. There
emit be no doubt, however, that power-loom cloth of from
7s. and Bs. ,to 6s. might be bought in quantities at 6d. be-
lo.a• last Saturday's currency, a great reduction considering
the previous Fall, consequent on the arrival of the Pr,sident's
Nic--;age, It must be understood that there does not ap-
pear to be any exception.as to tile dullness in -any article—
io evin things, it is believed, amend until it is clearly as-
ci--rt.A;:led the course which the American Governmeat have
detcrtniced to- pursue.

from the trade with a steadier feeling, the market closing yesterday
with little or no alteration in American descriptions from last week's

ORANGEISM IN ENGLAND.—At the late dinner
given by the freemen and electors of this city, to their re-
spected representative, E. B. Clive, Esq., a hope was elo-
quently expressed by the Rev. D. J. George, of Trelough,
in reference to the hot-headed Tory clergymen, who are
among the most active and ♦iolent of all partisans, " that
the glee which sparkled in their eyes was not symptomatic
of that madness which is said to be inflicted upon those
persons who are destined to destruction :" in this hope
do we cordially and sincerely join ; but when we look
around as, and see the blind fury with which the conduct
of the reverend Tory partisans is marked, in sorrow must
we exclaim, they are mad, indeed I True, there are many
exceptions; but it is, nevertheless, as true, that number is
daily diminishing. At a Conservative dinner at Monmouth
on Tuesday last. a Reverend Gentleman evinc.Al a de-
cided. symptom : he did more, he identified Irish Orange-
ism with English Toryism. We had long suspected
this ; we had long thought, and on more than one
occasion declared, that (we cannot repeat it too often)
Irish Orangeism and English Toryism arc the same,—one
thing with two names. But to the proof. At the said
dinner tile Rev. James Crowther, lecturer to Mr. Wiliam
Jones's Charity, gave as a toast—the battle (y. the Dia-
mond!!! Our readers arc acquainted with the popularity
which this toast has gained among the Orangemen of Ire-
land ; they know that it is the title of a most bloody and
ferocious conflict between Christian brethren (for should
not all Christians be brothers ?)—between Catholics and
Protestants. And is it come to this ? Is Eng'and to be-
come the scene of those bachanalian political revelries which
degrade Ireland, and, through Ireland, the -whole British
people Let wither this toast, nor the reverend proposer,
Mr. James Crowther, be forgotten r this Minister of the
Gospel by profession, has at least done this for the cause
of civil and religious liberty—he has identified the English
Tories with the Irish Orangemen—he has shown that the

RE-PAVING OF OXFORD-STREET

Saturday the vestry of Marylebone met for the purpose
of resuming the discussion commenced on the previous
Saturday, on the motion for the confirmation of the minutes
of the vestry relative to the re-paving of Oxford-street. A
deputation ofshopkeepers and other ratepayers from 'Oxford-
street. amounting to upcards of 100 individuals, was pre-
sent on the occasion. _ _ _

Mr. GIBSON introduced the subject. He thought the
great point in the consideration of the present case was,
that of the expense. It had been said by Mr. Cripps that
the re-paving of Oxford street would require the sum of
20,000/. to be sunk in the first instance, and with other
expenses cost the parish 68,0001. He (Mr. Gibson) could
not understand by what sort of calculation Mr. Cripps had
•arrived at that conclusion. He maintained, on the con-
, trary, after the clearest and most conclusive calculations,
that the expense would not be more than 33,000/. It had
also been objected to the re-paving of Oxford-street, that
the.noise would be much-greater than that caused by it in
its Macadamised state. He-maintained it would not ; for
by the improved mode of pavement lately introduced much
of that noise which was caused by the present pavements
might be avoided. It had been objected to the re-pave-
ment that carriages' would not go through Oxford-street if
the proposed alteration took place. He thought that the
trade of that street depended chiefly on pedestrians, and
that therefore the shopkeepers would not suffer any sensible
loss even were fewer carriages to pass through it. Many
petitions had been presented in favour of the re-pavement
of Oxford-street.—(Loud cries of " No, no ;" " Not one
has been presented," Scc.)
The CI-uau/ix—None have reached the Chair.
Mr;KENinrr (lifting some papers that were lying on
the table)—Here they are.—(Laughter.)
Mr. GIBSON—I knew they had been prepared, and I
understood that they had been presented. I sill read them
to the vestry.
Mr. GIB3ON then proceeded to read two petitions in
favour of re-paving Oxford-street. 'The one was signed by
400 of the rate-payers and the other by 100, and the
ground on which the parties petitioned was, that it would
reduce the rates of the householders. He would conclude
by repeating the expression of a hope that the vestry would,
by their vote that day, do justice to all parties.
Mr. SNOWDEN maintained that the question of re-paving
Oxford-street was one which concerned the whole parish,
and he could see no reason why the whole parish should be
taxed for the benefit of the inhabitants of Oxford-street.
He had one very important fact to communicate, though
not at liberty to mention his authority—that the Commis-
sioners of the Metropolitan Roads bad it in contemplation
to pave Regent-street. Considering all these matters, he
could not conceive why the vestry should make the at-
tempt, for it would only be an attempt, to continue Oxford-
street as a Macadamised street. He would therefore con-
clude by moving, as an amendment, that the further con-
sideration of the non-confirmation of the minutes be deferred
for four months, in order to afford time for a deputation
from the vestry to the four parishes interested to lay before
the vestry the basis of an equitable arrangement of the
paving rate entered into by those parishes, according to the
lenzth of their respective abutments in Oxford-street.
Mr. KENSETT had great pleasure in seconding the
amendment.

After some discussion, the gentleman who moved the
amendment withdrew the words " four months," without
fixing any other period. A debate of great length followed,
and the vestry then divided, when there appeared—
For the non-confirmation of the minutes 37
For the confirmation .. 21
Majority against the re-paving -16
The announcement was received with the most marked
gratification by the deputation ; and Mr. Underwood, after
a temporary pause, stepped forward, and said he was ap-
pointed by the deputation to return the vestry their best
thanks for the careful and lengthened consideration they
had given the subject. The deputation then withdrew, and
the vestry proceeded to the consideration of matters which
possessed no public interest.
