WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Prom the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)
LEEDS, DEC. 15.—We have no change to report in
the state of the woollen trade. The markets have been
of a sluggish character this week. The trade in the
warehouses is inactive. The shipping houses are doing
nothing, and the demand for the home market is rather
quiet.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market has not yet
assumed any brighter aspect. Complaints are very
general. There is a slackening in work at some of the
factories. We understand a little has been done in what
are called job-lots, in cases of pressure for cash.
ROCHDALE, Dec. 11.—As Christmas approaches the
demand for flannels is not quite so brisk as it has been.
The wool market has been firm, and for brokes (broken
welt') and noils a better price has been obtained.
HALIFAX, Dec. 9.—We have had more inquiry to-
day both in the piece and yarn markets. There is more
doing in the wool trade, and combing kinds show rather
an upward tendency.

PRISONERS OF WAR.—A. copy of the Convention be-
tween her Majesty and the Emperor of the French re-
specting prisoners of war, signed at London May 10,
1854, was laid before Parliament a few days ago. It
contains five articles. The first article provides that
the prisoners made in the coursa of the present war shall
be divided equally between the two countries, and that
whenever one of the two countries shall have maintaieed
a greater number of prisoners, an account of the excess
of expenditure shall be rendered every three months,
and repayment be made of the half of the amount by
the Government of the other country. Depots este,-
blished for prisoners in any foreign country are to be
supported by both the Governments. As regards the
exchange of prisoners, no distinction is to be made be-
tween the respective subjects of the two Governments
who may have been captured, but their liberation is to
be stipulated, except in special cases, accordine, to the
priority of the date of their capture. The fifth article
refers to the ratification of this convention, which took
place in London on the 20th of May last.
