STATE OF TRADE.

MANCIIESTER.—AIthough it is not in our power to notice
any further advance on any description of goods, yet the
m.irket is quite buoyant, with a good demand, at fully last
w,!tks' rates. In fustians a very extensive business has
b en done, though the demand for this article is always
batter at this season. Still, this will not account for tha
large businesi lately done in this article.
W A KEFIELD.-- EXTRAORDINARY SCENE. On Wed-
nesday two children—one twelve, the uthe,• eight, years of
age, was brought to Wakefield handcuffed, for the high
crime and misdemeanor of picking mushrooms on the
grounds of Mr. Waterton. It is charitably hoped that
Mr. W. is not cognisant of the brutish conduct of the fel-
low who thus could treat two innocents like these, and for
such a what—not a crime.

BARNSLEY.—The depressed state of our linen trade has
had a wonderful effect upon the frequenters of our cele-
brated annual feast or wakes, which the labouring glasses
have heretofore enjoyed more than all other pastimes to-
gether ; no feasting, no money stirring ; no fiddling, no
dancing, and no drunken fellows to be seen ; no rounds of
beef at the bakehouse, or athletic sports, as formerly.
Poverty, poverty, poverty! Still there arc indications of
better days—may they soon come.?
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, ADG. 28.
The flume' trade, it gives us pleasure to state, is still
stea!ily improving. There was a very good inquiry for
goods, ar.d if the manufacturers had been disposed to sell
us previous rates, a great business would have been done.
But sellers were firm in a small increase, and sales in con-
sequence rather limited. There are few hands now out of
emplo) went. N'Vcols are firmer, and more business would
have been done if form-r rates had bean wee led to. The
staplers, hove' er, were quite firm.

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.
(In anticipation of the Leeds Papers.)
lIALtrAx MARKET, AUG. 26.—Trade still improves.
The increased demand noticed the last fortnight still con-
tinues, and prices for both Yarn and Piece Goods are de-
cidedly higher. The mills are now nearly all in full work,
and a manifest difference is already felt by the shopkeepers,
who fur some months past have had great cause of com-
plaint. Things look very cheering, as compared with ap-
pearances only a month back.
BRADFORD MARKET, A uc.3l.—There hare been many
buyers in our Piece Market this week, and a rery good
business has been done, at full prices ; but no variation in
price can be noted from those of last week, though the ten-
deucy is decidedly upward. Whether the manufactureis
have realized any advance exceeding that on the raw mate-
rial, is a matter of doubt. There is an increased demand
for Yarn, especially for export ; and had not many mills,
which of late have either been stopped or working short
time, come again into full operation, a further advance
would undoubtedly have taken place. Prices are exceed-
ingly firm, at former currency. Wools are if anything
dearer, and spinners comply most reluctantly.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, AUG. 30.—The stocks arc
evidently on the decrease in our Cloth Hall. Fancy articles
are in request, at full prices. For Cloths the domand con-
tinues fully as good as for the last fortnight, which, if it
only continues a short time longer, will enable manufactu-
rers to obtain an increased profit in the face of the advance
on Wools, which arc again a little dearer.

MANCHESTER CATTLE MARKET, AUG. 30.—The show
of stock to-day was only moderate, especially of Sheep and
Lame The weather having become cool, the butchers
were fr e in trit::.nurchaes, and Mutton, Lamb, Pork, and
Veal were each Ad.

Yesterday evening; between eight and nine o'clock,
a man in the employ of Mr. Joshua Sawyer, an extensive
fish salesman of the New-road, three doors fi-om Tottenham.,
court-road, while opening some oysters for a customer, sud.
deftly fell backwards on the floor ; and dt, a fellow-servant,
who was in the shop at the time, hastening to sick him up,
he found that he was a corpse. A surgeon was immediately
sent for, who gave his opinion that the unfortunate man had
been seized with a fit of apoplexy. •
Last night the proprietor of a juniper temple in the
immediate vicinity of Holborn, opened is establishment
on a novel style. The exterior of the house is fitted Up in
the semblance of an enormous barrel, whilst the doers and
windows 'ire constructed like barrels of a smaller deserip,
Lion. On entering, an apparently interminable vista of
barrels meets the view ; and on each side two figures, repre,
seating B tcchus, personify the bibulous propensities of the
visiter. A band of music, and gratuitous drams, formed
the principal attraction.
A patriotic baker, ii► the borough of Lainbeth having
been asked at the late election to vote for the Tory candi-
date, and thereby gain the custom of the family, exclaimed—
No !
Never will I damn my soul
To get a guinea by a penny roll."
