The Duke of Sussex, as President of the Royal
Society, re-commences his soirees at Kensington Palace on
the 11th of February,• and they will be repeated on the
11th March, 13th May, and 10th June. The cards of in-
vitation to a number of literary and scientific men, besides
others of rank and distinction, whether natives or fOreign-
ers, have just been issued. Formerly these meetings con-
sisted of a combination of talent and attainment hardly to
be equalled, and the urbanity of the Illustrious Duke ren-
dered them highly attractive. Since the attack on the
sight of his Royal Highness (now happily restored) the re-
unions have, we believe, been discontinued, but they will be
revived under the most favourable circumstances. Mee
of all parties cast aside their political differences, and rejoice
to partake of the Royal Duke's hospitality.

LEICESTER TRADE.—WC are sorry still to have
to state that the demand for goods continues very flat. The
only portion of the trade that is in any way active, is the
lower quality of plain goods—straight-downs, &e. The
ribbed branch, and the middle and better qualities of
wrought hose, are exceedingly dull. We fear if there is
not an improvement in the demand very shortly, there will
be a considerable number of workmen out of employ'.
The state of the money market has operated to check the
advance on wool. Forty-five shillings has been given for
some good lots, rather above the average quality, but the

state of the money market is any thing but satisfactory ; the
exchanges are still against us, especially with America.
The Bank of England will be compelled, in self-defence, to
lessen its circulation considerably, or it will not be able to

commodities generally.—Leicester Chronicle.
