UNION-HALL.

A gentleman attended to make application for redress
under the following circumstances :—The applicant went to
the Victoria Theatre on the preceding night, accompanied
by some ladies, and previously to their entering the boxes
they were informed it was necessary to leave their bonnets,
&c. with the woman in the cloak-room. Although against
their inclination they complied, and at the conclusion of the
performances all a.ie things were returned excepting a shawl
worth 305., which could not be found. Not being enabled
to obtain redress, the present application was made.
The Magistrate adviseLl the applicant to bring an action
against the proprietors of the Theatre, who, he had no
doubt, would be compelled to inake good the loss.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Leeds Intelligeneer.)

TRADE OF LEEDS.—We have very little alteration to
report in the state of the woollen trade since our last. The
workmen are kept moderately well employed, but the mer-
chants are only buying to order and to keep up assorted
stocks.

BRADFORD MARKET.—The amount of business transac-
ted on Thursday was less than it has been for some time
past. The price of manufactured goods, however, remained
firm. The demand for yarns was flat, and prices receded a
little. The transactions in wool were very limited, and on
reduced terms.

HALIFAX,- WEDNESDAY.—There has been more busi-
ness done in this market to-day than for some weeks back,
but at lower prices. The manufactures are in rather low spirits
as to future prospects, especially as yarns do not come down
so as to enable them to make their goods at the prices
at which they are obliged to sell. Their stocks begin to
be heavy.
HECKMONDWIKE.—The Blanket Hall has for the last
few market-days been thinly attended by the merchants
and buyers ; the consequence is a decline in the price of
those articles so necessary for the approaching winter.

A letter received from a gentoinan in Coupang, in
Timor, dated April 5, mentions that th. 9 Kingsdown had lost
her master, Captain Simmons, who was ,treacherously mur-
dered in the month of March, near Point >lobara, by the
natives. He had been trading with them ; anal after dining
with the Rajah or Chief, was putting off from the shore,
when, without any provocation, they fired on hint, killed a
man who was rowing, and the Captain the next moment
received a bullet which deprived him of life. He merely
exclaimed, " Oh, God ! I am a dead man," and expired.

The new Town Hall recently constructed at Arun-
del was built at the sole expense of the Duke of Norfolk.
The fine collection of prints made by George IV.,
amounts to between 400,000 and 500,000 ; they are depo-
sited in Windsor Castle, where a room has been built for
their preservation. An eminent judge of prints was for
some time engaged in arranging them chronologically.
On Wednesday last, a groom in the employ of Earl
Spencer, was kicked in the mouth by a foal in his Lordship's
park. The lower jaw was fractured and his lip was severely
cut ; several of his upper teeth were knocked out. The
poor fellow was taken to the infirmary, where Ite is, we un-
derstand, getting well.—Northampton Chronicle.
Some idea of the fertility of the " golden vein of
Ireland," which extends in a broad belt from the King's
County to Limerick, through Cashel, Tipperary, &c., may
be formed, from the fact that large districts of this land
pays from 81. to 101. an (Irish) acre, and on one part of it
the 16th successive white crop was this year taken, without
one load of manure, and 12/. was paid for the hay alone of
one single acre.
General Lamarrois, who was one of Napoleon's
Aides-de-Camp, died at Paris last week, abed 60. In
1813 he was charged by the Emperor with the defence of
Magdeburg. In 1815 he had the command of the depart-
ments of Normandy. He was a member of the Chamber
of Peers of the One Hundred Days, and was the only one
of that Chamber left at the Revolution of July, but was
not again called into that assembly.
A MODERN LILLY.—Among the multitudinous
quackeries of the age, not the least is that of a certain
gentleman, who professes to cure every description of ner-
vous disease simply by rubbing the hands with a powder.
The advice to take the powder is given gratuitously, as
per advertisement ; but the powder, or fever-scaring charm,
is dispensed, as old Trapbois would say, for "a considera-
tion !" But the " deep-sea lead" would never fathom the
depths of human gullibility.
" England," says the Frankfort Journal, " has
given a challenge to the musical world through one of her
people, John Allan, of Molton, who cultivates, with suc-
cess, a species of musical execution but little known in
Germany or Italy—whistling. Long may John Allan con-
tinue without 4 rival,"
