THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LREDs, June 16.—There has been no material alters)a,
in the state of the woollen cloth market this week. ire
steady business was done in the Cloth-halls both on Sat'
day and on Tuesday, in addition to which there have beto
some good deliveries direct at the merchants' warehe4l,l;
The mills in the surrounding villages are generally in
work, and the artisans employed in the textile inantfhi:,,
tures of this district are on the whole in good ereployrae" t
There have been a few good buyers in the town dnrilll;
this week, which has caused a little improvement inAtA
trade of the warehouses ; but Juno is generally a "—iji
month, and there is quite as much business doing 611
usual at this period of the year.
,13
HUDDERSFIELD, June 13.—The market was in a —°,4
depressed state to-day than on the previous week. rano
vestiugs are in very low request. There was a less tbmi,
usual nun.ber of buyers in attendance. Some temptati°ii
11
were held out in the form of what are called job lots, whin
might operate upon the more necessitous, but in gener.,
•there is a disposition to keep up prices, there being bua
small margin for change. Wools are a shade lower. ;1‘
BRADFORD.—WooIs.--This has been the dullest sveTo
ever experienced, and the whole trade seems indisposes' a.
do business. Yarns.—The trade is said to have never beel,ii
worse since the year 1826. Little business is doing,
with the present gloomy prospect, the prevailing dispoi-,
tion is to do as little as possible. Pieces. The home trail,"
for autumn will be late, if the merchants intend to lat.
any provision tor this season, of which there are few
at present. The goods in hand are light, and if there F°:
any change of the present state of things, we may ex/Wt
material improvement in demand and in prices.
MADE OF LEICESTER.—On the whole, there is less doilnif
in the warehouses than for some time past, and the opfoi
tives are suffering greatly from want of employment :AO
the dearness of provisions. Nor does there aear an),
prospect of improvement. Worsted yarns have again give' -
way a shade, and the market is profitless and unsatistactor
to the spinner. There is but little doing in wools, bur° ,
and sellers both holding off until after our fair.

THE MARQUIS OF LANDSDOWNE's BAlL,—Yesterey
evening the Marquis of Lansdowne gave a grand
at Lansdowne House, Berkeley-square. This being th"
first entertainment of the kind that has taken place ther!s
for some years. one of the most numerous and distio!'
guisbed assemblages of the nobility and fashionabN6
world thronged his lordship's saloons, to honour the 04
casion with their presence. The guests commenced 86;
riving shortly after ten o'clock, and continued to edt
down in uninterrupted succession until after one o'cloolji
by which time there were upwards of 1,000 of the eltds
of the haut ton present. Their Royal Highnesses ti°
Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary N%
, among the early arrivals. Dancing was kept up u, at
an advanced hour in the morning.
THE EARL OF JERSEY'S DINNER PARTY.—Yestercria9'
evening the Earl of Jersey gave a grand banquet to a'
select circle of the aristocracy, at his lordship's mansion
in Berkeley-square. The guests on this occasion were
the Duke of Rutland, the Marquis of Granby, the gar
quis and Marchioness of Blanford, the Earl of Meknes*
bury, Viscount and Viscountess Hardinge and the Hon'
Miss Hardinge, Lord and Lady Southampton, Lord
Forester, the Hon. Frederick and Lady Elizabeth
Villiers, &c.
THE TYNE PIERS.—The foundation stone of the int'
mense works projected at the mouth of the Tyne wei.
laid yesterday with great ceremony. The commis'
sioners and corporations reached Shields from Now'
castle and Gateshead in their barges shortly after noon:,
and an immense procession, consisting of the corpora:
tions of Newcastle, Gateshead, South Shields, an
Tynemouth, the River Tyne Commissioners, the Masted
and brethren of the Trinity House, the North an,
South Shields seamen, Tyne pilots, and others, marched
to the " Lawe," when the foundation stone of the,
south pier was laid by Mr. Joseph Cowen, of Blaydon•
Burn, the chairman of the Commissioners. A similar
demonstration took place on the cliffs of Tyneinoutbr
amid a large multitude of people. The works to e:,
executed aie on a large scale. The act of Parliamen"
giving the Tyne Commissioners the necessary power°
was passed in 1852, and the whole of the works will b 6
executed from plans projected by Mr. Walker, the Ad'
miralty engineer. The Lords of the Admiralty calon:
late that all the improvements contemplated will cool'
600,0001., to be raised by a tax on shipping frequenting
the port, the annual produce of which is about 12,00'
It is supposed that the improvements will prevent rone„11
loss of life and property. The pier on the south aide WP
extend 4,000 feet into the sea. •
NEW CHURCH AT EATSWATER.—The erection of
new church has been commenced in the centre of the
plot of ground in the Bayswater-road, facing Kensington''
gardens, formerly nursery and fruit gardens, but which
haS been laid out for building houses on a scale in uninnil
with this improved and fashionable locality.
the
THE AUSTRALIAN STEAMER.--It appears that,
steamer Australian, belonging to the Australian Kola
Mail Company, which got on shore at Table Bay, on her
homeward passage from Australia, via the Cape of Go
Hope, had arrived at St. Vincent's on the lot June, an
may, therefore, shortly be expected to arrive.
