THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, May s.—The markets have been dull and sluggish
this week. Both on Saturday and Tuesday there was only
very slender attendance of merchants in the cloth-balls, and
the transactions were limited ; prices are without any van"
ation, and stocks remain without auy material alteration.
As many of the manufacturers are mostly employed in
making to order, their productions are delivered direct at
the warehouses instead of accumulating in stock. The
trade in the warehouses continues without axly notice-
able change. There is a moderate business doing for the
home market, and there is also part doing by some of the
shipping houses for the East India, China, and South Ameri-
can trade. On the whole, considering the circum,stances of
the country—the war, with all its attendant aux ieties and
evils—the scarcity, and consequent dearness of n ioney, and
the high price of provisions—we believe there is quite as large
a business doing in the wo lien trade as most pertsons calcu-
late upon, and consequently we hear very little coin p'aining.
HUDDERSFIELD, May 2.—The market here still continues
very flat, though given in as being rather an improvement
upon the preceding week. There were few buyers in at-
tendance. The goods most in demand are middling finial
goods and black doeskins. Those for shipping, of low qua'
lity, are a drug, and stocks are rapidly increasing in the
cloth-hall. Wool remains unchanged.
BRADFORD.—The sales of wool are by no means •extensive,
and the supply coining to market is limited. Thc) stock of
deep grown fleece wool and sorts are not abundant, and
the downward tendency of this class is abated. There is
greater plenty of skin wool of all kinds, as there is also of
down, half-bred, and other fine wools. But there is little
inquiry for them, although there is a greater desire to clear
out prior to the new clip coming to market. Yarns—
This branch of business is exceedingly discouraging. It i 0
uuremuuerative to those engaged in it, and large quantities
of machinery are entirely idle, and others only partially em'
ployed throughout the district. Pieces—Nothing new to
report. The quantity of goods manufactured is diminished
weekly, as the prices offered are ruinous. Unless there la
some decided change for the better ere long, the result mu 4
be disastrous.

PRUSSIA.

The Pays says :—lt is certain that Russia is dis-
posed to grant to Prussian commerce by land,
some important advantages. It must, however,
be considered that it is much more in her own
favour than for the benfit of Prussia that Russia
acts on this occasion. All her ports are blockaded
by the Anglo-French fleets ; and she seeks to open
for herself more or less considerable markets on the
continent, and political views which may be readly
explained,lead her to address herself by preference to
Prussia. Will these propositions be accepted by the
latter power? There is reason to doubt it. Prussia has
no need of a treaty to see Russia, before a long
time shall have elapsed, completely at her discre-
tion in a commercial and economical point of view.
On the day when the Russian ports and navy shall
have been destroyed by our fleets, and when Rus-
sia shall have become simply a continental power,
it is evidently Prussia and the Zollverein which
will benefit by that state of things, and will occupy
the first rank in transactions with Russia. But
now, and in a state of war in which she may soon
find herself engaged, Prussia has every interest
in a commercial point of view to unite herself with
the West, rather than with Russia.
London, England, 1854-05-06

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Hamburg states that two Norwe-
gian vessels of war have passed the Sound, and ex-
presses a belief that Sweden may shortly join the
Western Powers openly against Russia. The writer
observes that Sir Charles Napier can land a large
force, if required, the French squadron will furnish
another large corps, and the Swedes have 10,000
soldiers disposable, and can readily double that
number. He then proceeds to argue that the
fleets might land a very formidable force to aid in
the attack on any point of the Russian coast.
Another Hamburg letter says :—" About fifty
vessels at Baltic Port were preparing to enter Revel
which has become clear of ice, when they received
notice from the chief military commandant that
the entrance into that port was interdicted to them.
The consuls of six neutral nations having assem-
bled, collectively addressed a protest against the
measure of the military governor, but which he
could not take upon himself to revoke. He, how-
ever, immediately sent off a courier to St. Peters-
burg to point out the real state of things to the
government, and the decision is waited for with
great anxiety."

THE DANUBE.

Baron Meyendorff has officially announced a•
Vienna the evacuation of Little Wallachia.

It is the opinion of one of the first strategists in
Austria, that a steam-boat expedition, undertaken
by the allies ^ the Danube, and 80,000 Omen sent to
Turkey, would totally annihilate the plans of the
Russians. With reference to the steam-boat expe-
dition, it is said that an offer has been made to the
English Admiralty, and is still under their consi-
deration, not only to float armed steamers over
the bar at the mouth of the Sulina, but first-rate
men-of-war, even the flag-ship of the Commander-
in-Chief in the Black Sea. The importance of such
au offer requires no comment.
ORSOVA, April 26.—The Turkish cavalry had
advanced from Kalafat to the river Schyl, without
seeing the enemy. The greatest consternation
prevailed in Krajova, which was evacuted by the
Russians on the 24th in great haste.
' It was fully expected that the Russians would
undertake important operations against Rustchuk,
Nicopolis, and Rassova in a few days.

On the 23d the fortress of Silistria remained un-
injured.
It is not doubted that Omer Pasha will be able
to maintain himself until the allies arrive.

It is confidently affirmed that a Russian detach-
ment was completely defeated at Czernavoda on
the 20th, but reinforcements were seen advancing,
and the Turks retreated.

BELGRADE, April 29.—The Turks from Kalafat
have already occupied Muglavit, Gunia, Pojana,
and Palechti. They were expected at Krajova on
the 28tlx or 9.011,

Credible despatches in the Presse, of Vienna,
from Orsova, of the 28th of April, state that the
Russians have retired beyond the Aluta by forced
marches. All the stores not removable were
burnt.

A letter from Vienna, of tho 28th, says :
" Our intelligence from the theatre of war is
of a very confused character, both as is facts
and dates. A corps of 26,000 cavalry is said
to be advancing towards the Dobrudscha, fol-
lowed closely by Prince Paskiewitch, who is
immediately to take the command of this body of
troops to enter Turkey. From the neighbourhood
of Silistria letters have been received to the 17th.
The Russians had made a third attack on the place,
but were again repulsed. Since the above date 110
further fighting was going on in that neighbour-
hood. On the 15th and 16th there were combats
at Simoritza and Sistow; the Turks had the ad-
vantage. The Russians had on this occasion made
their attack on Simoritza with considerable rein,
forcements, having been beaten back at the same
place on the Bth. Chozzim Paella, however, had
also received a reinforcement of 3,000 Egyptians,
and was able to beat back the Russians to Sistow,
with a loss of 200 killed and 360 wounded. The
corps d'armee of Generals Luders and Chruleff
effected on the 20th their junction above Rassova,
which place they immediately invested. General
Liprandi has received orders to prepare to assume
the offensive."

which ve most unfeignedly feel for the loss of a
man who had attained a greater age than we, his
survivors, can hope to reach. All who ever came
into contact with Lord Anglesey must share in the
regret ; but there is something more in the feeling
than considerations purely personal. In parting
with Lord Anglesey we part with an historical
period ; we have done with George 111., and the
Prince of Wales, and the war of the Titans,
and George IV. A student of Alison would
have gone back to his library with a greater sense
of the realities of that great time from seeing
Lord Anglesey canter by in the public streets.
That was one of the men who had fought
out the great struggle. There may be other
survivors, but Lord Anglesey had this in com-
mon with the Great Duke,—that he was ever
before us. We saw him continually and every-
where. In the parks, in the streets, in assem-
blies and parties, or stretching down Long Roach
in the Pearl, with his groat mainsail set,
Lord Anglesey was ever about among his country-
men. More than this, lie was always ready with
a kind act for those whom he could oblige, and with
a courteous denial for those who had as ked from
him that which it was not in his power to give. If
he did not act the highest part in the world's his-
tory, all he did he did well, and that throughout
well-nigh fourscore years and ten. During a por-
tion of this period he occupied important employ-
ments, civil and military, and during all of it he
remained broadly in the world's eye. That world
is not ungrateful, for wherever the news of his
death is told all will be sorry that " old Lord An-
glesey is gone at last," and have a kind word and
a kind thought for his memory. With him the old
race of nobles is well-nigh burnt out ; so of the
Paladins of the last war. Lord Beresford, Lord
Londonderry, and Lord Anglesey have not been
slow to rejoin their great general, even in the grave.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DANUBE.

(From Notes from the Seat of War.)
With the exception of the Volga, the Danube is the
[ongest river of Europe ; and, with the exception of two
others—the Nile in Africa, and the Amazon in South
America—it is the longest river in the world. It is one
thousand eight hundred miles in length, and flows
through some of the most remarkable and most fertile
districts of Europe. The history of the Danube is
coeval with that of the ancient Greeks and Romans ; and
the curious in olden story will find many particulars
with reference to this noble river in Herodotus, Strabo,
Pliny, and other classic writers. Its course is from east
to west, with a southward inclination ; which latter is
the more marked after it has entered Turkey, where it
forms a line almost parallel with the Balkan mountains
to Rossova, whence it makes an abrupt bend to the
north, continuing that course to Galatz. From Galatz
it flows due east into the Black Sea.
The source of the Danube proper is in the mountain dis-
tricts of the Black Forest, near about the boundary line
between Wurtemburg and Baden. Atßatisbon it receives
from the north a considerable tributary, which brings down
to it the melted snows of the mountains which form the
natural boundaries between Bohemia and Saxony. From
the south, and before it reaches Vienna it receives the waters
of the Lech, the Isser, the Inn, the Salza, and other con-
siderable streams, which are nurtured among the gla-
ciers of the Tyrolese Alps. After it has flowed past the
palaces of Vienna, and before it reaches Presburg, one
of the capital towns of Hungary, it receives the waters
of the March, and its tributaries, which form the natu-
ral drain-pipes of Moravia, from the mountains of Bo-
hemia on the west and north, to the Carpathians on the
east. On one of the tributaries of the March, stands
the town of Olmutz, distinguished by the recent pre-
sence, pacific protestations, and grand military mass of
the Emperor of Russia. Before tracing the Danube be-
yond Presburg, we will return to Vienna, to point out
the facilities of communication which modern science
has given to Austria. Southward from Vienna, an im-
portant line of railway extends to the port of Trieste,
at the head of the Gulf of Venice. This southern rail-
way passes through, or by, and unites the towns of
Nenstadt, Bruck, Gratz, Pettan, Cilli, Laybach, and
Goritza. From Neustadt, another railway runs east
through
Raab, Waitzen, Pesth, and on to Debrecein,
east of the Theiss river. We may remark here that it is
along this latter railway that so many of the lying

DREADFUL COLLISION AND Loss OF 180 LIVES IN
THE BRITISH CHANNEL.- -PORTSMOUTH, Saturday.—
The Bremen bark Favourite, Capt. Hoegman, with 180
passengers on board, which sailed on the 23d inst. from
Bremen for Baltimore, came into collision yesterday,
morning, at two o'clock, off the Start, with the Ameri-
can bark Hesper, of Newburyport, Capt. Jones, from
Charleston for Antwerp. The Favourite was struck on
the starboard bow, and cut down to the water's edge,
her foremost at the same time going by the board. The
captain, mate, and four of the crew got on board the
American during the collision, leaving the unfortunate
passengers to their sad and untimely fate. Thepa-
yourite is supposed to have gone down instantly, th
180 human beings, as nothing could be seen of her at
daylight. Some of the crow were supposed to have got
into a boat, but nothing has been seen or heard coded
The American sustained some damage, but proc on
her voyage. The captain, mate, and men that escaped
were brought on shore by the Agenora, pilot-boat, and
pl...ced under the direction of Mr. Vandenbergh, the
Bremen consul at this port.
JUSTICE TO WOMEN.—Surely there is work wanting
to be done in the marital code of England Surely
there are wrongs to be redressed and reforms to be made
that have gone too long unmade ! Surely
.we have here
a righteous quarrel with the laws—more righteous than
many that have excited louder cries. Justice to women.
No fanciful rights, no unreal advantages, no prepos-
teruus escape from womanly duty for the restless,
loud, and vain ; no mingling of women with the
broils of political life, nor opening to them of careers
which nature herself has pronounced them incapable
The rogition of their of following following ; no high-flown assertion of equality in
kind but simple justice.
gnitionec ofn their natural right
viduality as wives, the reco
as mothers, the permission to them to live by their own
honourable industry, untaxed by the legal right and
moral wrong of any man to claim as his own that for
which he has not wrought—reaping where he has not
sown, and gathering where he has not strewn. Justice
to women. This is what the phrase means ; this is
where the thing is truly wanted ; here is an example of
the great injustice done to them, and of their maltreat-
ment under the eyes of a whole nation, by the law.—
