STATE OF TRADE.
FOREIGN WOOL MARKET. JUNE 11.—As usual at this
season of the year, immediately preceding the arrival of
the new clip, the business transacted in this market is on
a c•nnparatively small scale. The accounts received from
Breslau leave little room tor doubt that a considerable
advance upon last year's prices will nil: at all the Ger-
man fairs, and we may report, as a natural consequence,
a somewhat improved tone in the rates current in this
market.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JUNE 11.—There
is not any variation in this market to report during the
present week—either as to extent of sales or quotations
of prices.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JUNE 10.—The busi-
ness of this week has been much of the same character
as it has been of late, with slow sales, by a gradual re-
duction in prices. As the new clip lass not yet come
freely to market our stocks are but light, and upon some
sort of hogs prices are pretty well supported, but if
there be no increased demand for the manufactured ar-
ticle before our stocks accumulate we must expect lower
prices.
DONCASTER WOOL MARKET.—The markets for the
sale of wool commences this day, and will be continued
every Saturday until the 6th of August. Two addi-
tional markets will take place, viz., on the first Satur-
day in September and the first Saturday in October.
It should he borne in mind, that the town-council have
reduced the weighing toll to the amount of one half-
penny per stone. This includes all charges with respect
to weighing, as well as of porterage to and from the
scales,—an arrangement which cannot fail to meet the
approbation of both seller and purchaser; evincing, at
the same time, the desire of the council to afford every
accommodation and facility, and promote the popularity
and usefulness of the markets. •
YORK WOOL MARKET, JUNE 10.—There has been a
heavy market, and only a few buyers in attendance, but
most of the wool shown was sold. Good hog realised
13s. 6d., hog and ewe lls. to 135., locks and cast Bs. to
10s. per stone of 141bs.
TRADE or LEEDS.—We have had very dull markets
at our Cloth Halls, both on Saturday and Tuesday.
This is principally ascribed to the present uncertain
state of the corn markets. There is scarcely anything
doing on speculation, and the purchases to order are
lighter than we ever knew them at this period of the
year. The stocks in the manufacturers' hands are light,
and prices in consequence rule steady. This being be-
twixt the seasons, very little is doing by the home trade
in the warehouses, but the American houses are pretty
busy.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY, JUNE 10.—The
wool market was extremely dull. The sales were com-
paratively small. Prices were firmly maintained, inns
much as wool cannot be bought of the farmers at a rate
which will meet purchasers in this market. The yarn
market continues in a very unsatisfactory state. There
is more doing in the export trade, but not to any amount
to relieve this branch of our manufacture. The spinners
are mostly engaged to order. There was an average
business done in the piece market, especially in dress
goods. A considerable number of orders were also given
for moreens. We consider that the American merchants
are at present the principal purchasers in our market.
There was oo alteration in price.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, i HURSDAY EVENING,—
There is certainly no one iu the trade who can call to
mind when the trade of this district was in so thoroughly
depressed' and unsatisfactory a state as at this moment.
Roth spinners and manufacturers seem as though quite
resigned to carry on their concerns without profit, but
would be too happy in doing so if it could only be done
without absolute loss. This, however, cannot be done,
aed the consequence is a further limitation of the hours

labour, or a total closing of their mills ; and there is
wctiltl be that, in
vith that twelve months ago. The home trade gives no
sign of improvement.
NoTTINGHADL—The cotton hose trade, especially the
cut-up branches, continues in a stagnant condition,
bodies of men having been out of employment for weeks.
The wrought hose branch is in a dull state. The silk
hosiery trade is half extinct, though there is yet hope,
as the two principal houses in the trade that make good
articles are in a much better state as regards employ-
ment for their hands, than those who have embarked in
the slop trade.—Nottingham Review.
LEICESTER.—There is scarcely any improvement in
Our market since our last, and work has been given out
very cautiously. Spinners continue still to work short
tie, and yarns are extremely dull of sale. Wools are
flat,at ices in favour of the stapler.—Leicester Journal.

THE BOSJESMANS, OR BUSH PEOPLE, AT THE EGYP-
TIAN HALL.—Considerable amusement was created at
this attractive exhibition on Saturday last, by the intro-
duction to the Bushmen of four Madagascar natives.
Mr. Tyler, the gentleman under whose care the Bush
people are, provided a few sweetmeats for the Madagas-
car men to hand to their countrymen. Nothing could
exceed the delight the Bush people evinced at recognis-
inr, some of their own genus (if not the same tribe).
They proceeded to hug and kiss them with all the fer-
vour and affection evinced by people of a more civilised
locality. One of the Madagascar men conversed with
the youngest Bushman, which so overjoyed him, that he
leaped from the platform, and could with difficulty be
separated. The audience were also highly amused at the
surprise exeited in the Bushman when Mr. Tyler showed
td+e how to light the gas. He opened his mouth, and
stared with imuttertib!e astonishment at the sudden ig-
the lighted taper. Altogether this
seshihitim isd highlyby entertaining, and dvserves the pa-
tronage which it appears to receive. Mr. Owen, at the
conclusion, gave a very spirited lecture on these singular
aborigines, which exoited cusider4ble Satisfaction.

QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES.
(From the Dispatch )
Mr. Editor,—We have an election in prospect more
completely devoid of purpose than any which has
occurred for many years. The " sense of the people"
is about to be taken, and nobody knows upon what sub-
ject. There is no appeal to the constituencies by any
party. In recent debates, or pending measures, no
great antagonist principles have been brought into colli-
sion. Even the lower excitement of party preponder-
ancy is wanting. Nobody expects that the result can
so strengthen Lord G. Bentinek's faction as to carry him
in ; and nobody, except that faction, cares about keeping
out Sir Robert Peel. Electors will go to the poll,
simply because it is the time. Parliament approaches,
as nearly as is customary, to its natural period
of dissolution. No great harm would happen,
nor any particular good that I know of, from the
re-election of its Members in a lump. There will,
probably, be some changes ; but it is the toss of a half-
penny whether they be for the better or the worse.
Clouds and sunshine affect us far more, just now, than
Whigs and Tories. The aspect of a corn field is much
more important than that of a canvassing-book. Foreign
grain is the question ; not foreign policy. This indif-
ference of the public mind does not stop the custom of
cross-examining our candidates. It often multiplies
questions in proportion as theirimportance is diminished.
Every conundrum of a clique, or crotchet of an indivi-
dual, has its chance. Instead of having to stand the dis-
charge of a cannon, whose ball strikes him dead if it hits
at all, the aspirant is peppered with perpetual small shot,
the largest of which is only some silly stuff about cen-
tralisation or Sunday schools. As to what will come of
it all, safer were it to pretend to prophecy the winner of
next year's Derby.
And yet, under these uneseitiug and unpropitious
circumstances, the country's representatives and legis-
lators must be chosen ; and the power so conferred,
whether on the wise or the foolish, the knavish or the
honest, may continue for seven long years to come.
Surely, then, it is a fitting season for the mind of every
elector who feels the sacredness of his trust, to advert
to the general principles of Government and the perma-
nent wants of the people. If candidates do not know
what to say to us, we should know what to say to them.
The compromises of parties, and the pettiness of per-
sonal pretension, should not sink into littleness the
powers of a great nation over the policy of its rulers.
If blue and yellow are only symbols of party or paltry
interests, electors should start questions indicative of
those which are great and national.
Amongst these may come foremost, " What do you
intend to do with the taxation of the country?" "To
put as much of it as we can into our own pockets,"
would in many cases be the most honest answer that
could be given. But the language of such a reply would
not be Parliamentary. It is least likely to be made
when it is most likely to be meant. The subject will be
evaded, for the sake of future Chancellors of the Ex-
chequer. Perhaps the candidate will pledge himself to
vote for the repeal of some local or class burden, by way
of a sap to his influential constituents. The interest of
the people requires a complete revision of our whole
system of taxation. The corn-laws were only a single
item of abuse. They took from the consumers and tne
industrious, to the advantage of the possessors of pro-
perty. In this, there was nothing peculiar. The Customs
and Excise do the same thing through the whole round
of their operations. Every article that we purchase
from another country is obviously the dearer for an
import duty. Every articie of home production is the
dearer for the Excise. When we see returns of the
millions raised by duties on tea, sugar, tobacco, or soap,
there is often a misty nation in people's minds that the
sugar, &c. pay so much to the Government. It is
reckoned a tax on articles, and not on persons. Non-
sense ! It is the man who drinks tea, and sweetens it,
and smokes, and washes, that pays the money. He is
the paymaster, just the same as it the duty were levied
on the act. Suppose a policetnau keeping the key of
the caddy, and demanding pence for the spoonfuls be-
fore they go into the teapot. Or standing at the shaver's
elbow, and stopping the brush when it begins to twirl in
the soap-dish, until the proportionate cash has legalized
the lather. If the plan were practicable, we would pay
less this way ; and the trade arising from importa-
tion would not be checked. In fact, we tax trade,
we tax cheap drinking, we tax cleanliness ;
and we leave comparatively untaxed the inheritance
of large revenues for which no service is ren-
dered to the State. Out of fifty millions of annual tax-
ation property pays rather more than two,- consumption
and industry pay the remaining forty-eight. That is to
say, they are paid by the masses. They are taken from
those who have only what they earn. The proprietary
of Great Britain contributes the merest trifle towards
the cost of protecting and governing Great Britain. All
taxation is essentially an insurance of the safety of pro-
perty, and that insurance is mainly paid by industry.
Folks are gulled because the tax is paid indirectly. Their
hands are not actually put into their pockets for it at the
bidding of a collector. The trick Is -done out of sight.
We do not see the machinery of Customhouse leger-
demain. The cotton free traders have carried their
point, but the tea and sugar free traders, the snuff,
cigar, and French wine free traders, the soap-suds
free traders are left in the lurch. There will they re-
main till they bestir themselves. The election is an op-
portunity. No man deserves a vote who is not for re-
moving the burden of taxation from industry, and laying
it upon property.
Education is also a topic of permanent concern, and
which requires to be put on the broadest principle. The
sects are all making their market of it;
and the esta-
blished sect in particular. The Bishop of Exeter wants
to quarter the unemployed clergy on the school-house.
He would make it a refuge for the clerical destitute. If
there be not a spare parish for the priest, make him a
pedagogue. Education grants may thus become a sort
of poor-law for the parsons. Those who have not
talent enough for the pulpit, or not interest enough for
a living—" stickit Ministers," as such forlorn abortions
are called in Scotland—will come upon the school for
relief. Let the Lord Harry of Exeter alone for turning
a penny of public money. He thinks of the pence,
while Dissenting bigots think of the Papists. The Me-
thodists who insist on a Protestant version of the Bible, are
not less perverters of National Education. There is practi-
cally an end of instruction for the masses, beyond drilling
into the catechisms of different creeds, unless we revert to
the gronnd originally taken by the Government, and of
late so pusillanimously abandoned—that of providing the
means of what is called secular education for all, and
leaving churches to supply the theology. The difficulties
of this plan have passed away. Its adoption would not
cost the Whigs their places. Their faint hearts need not
palpitate. Dr. Hook cleared she way for them. All
sects and parties would have acquiesced ; they will still
acquiesce, if the plan is revived with a determined pur-
pose. Those electors who really care for national edu-
cation may exert themselves with decisive effect. Let
them disregard the petty exclusions or appropriations at
which sects are aiming. Let them go direct to the sup-
ply of the great popular want. Let them ask, " Are
you, or are you not, for securing to all the means of in-
struction, leaving theology to the voluntary supply of
those concerned ?"
The p )or-law should not be forgotten ; especially that
very much neglected part of the subject, the burden of
the rates upon the poor. An objection is often made to
dealing kindly and liberally witn paupers, that the ex-
pense pauperises the rate-payers, who are struggling
hard for their own subsistence. The feet is certain ; but
the inference that the paupers should, therefore, be
squeezed and stinted, is most fallacious. There is
another way of ceasing to pauperise the struggling poor
by the pressure of poor-rates. That other way
is, not to exact poor-rates at all from the
poor. The theory of the income-tax is, that every
man should be exonerated from paying. in that
form, to the State, who has less than 150/. a year.
Yet, how many are assessed for public charity who earn
leas than the half of that amount. The goods of the
starving are seized for the expenses of a starvation law.
The faces of the poor are ground to pay for the grind-
stone. The State is niggardly charitable to the entirely
paupers, out of the pittances of semi and three-quarter
paupers. And this system is intended to last. The
Poor-law Reformers expend their fury on the Com-
missioners. The Ministry will cast Jonas overboard to
still the storm. And the paying poor, and the destitute
poor, are left, if they like, to go to the dogs, or the

voter who is generous or just, will bear in mind that he
is one of the possessors of an involuntary monopoly ; he
belongs to a politically privileged class ; and the great
majority, six to one, of his fellow-countrymen, belong
to a slave-class.
If electors ask no questions, candidates will make no
promises. It is true, indeed, that hustings' promises
are commonly classed with lovers' vows. But if we
cannot secure integrity, the next best thing is, to expose
inconsistency. The ready tools of a Ministry or party
may be despoiled of the plea that the people are indit-
ferent. We may be true to ourselves, in this, our rarely
recurring opportunity. And questions of principle,
calmly and firmly put, may prove the more impressive
from the absence of party excitement. It would do
legislators a world of good to make them feel that they

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—TiIe Frolic, 16, Commander
C. 13. Hamilton, was paid off yesterday in a manner so
o.derly and expeditiously as never to have been equalled
at Oil: pre The high estimation in which Commander
Hamilton held his crew may be judged from the fact of
their having had leave granted them on the day prior to
paying off to go ashore, and returning to the ship per-
fectly sober, and within the time allowed them—a cir-
cumstance in itself so perfectly illustrative of the excel-
lent discipline of the vessel that we deem it worthy of
special comment. It is a feature which never came
under our observation in connexion with any other ship
paid off at this port. The Frolic, after four years and
a half service on the South American station, has
returned home with the same masts and rigging she
went out with—a fact which in these days of dockings
and re-dockings (every alternate month with some
vessels) speaks very forcibly in favour of her construc-
tion. She has been exceedingly healthy, and outsailed
some of the fastest merchantmen afloat. This is her
first commission, having been built at this port in 1842
upon the design of Captain Hendry, R.N. She is of 511
tons.
The Vengeance, 84, Captain S. Lushington, is rapidly
fitting for sea-going service. A further detachment of
marines, with Lieutenants Aslett and Ward, • joined
yesterday. Commander Altham, late of the flag-ship
Winchester, is appointed to her, and Lieutenant Rogers,
her First Lieutenant, is appointed First of the St.
Vincent. Lieutenant Bickford, a most efficient and
smart officer, is now First Lieutenant of the Vengeance,
which, when equipped, will be one of the most efficient
and ably commanded two-deckers in the world. Her
ultimate destination is not decided on. She will join
Sir' C. Napier's squadron, as we stated some time
since, for a trial cruise, and eventually, it is expected,
carry his flag. During ,the time Captain Lnshington
has had her, although employed in the most contami-
nating service, she has not lest a man by sickness, de-
sertion, or accident, neither has any member of her crew
been punished.
The Pandora pilot-boat, Collins, of Dover, landed here
this morning mails and passengers from the Thames,
Captain Barclay, which sailed from Kingston, Jamaica,
on the 20th of April. Among the latter were Captain
Robeson, of the Ist West India Regiment, and family ;
Dr. Morales, Mrs. Morales, and family. The Pandora
spoke the North Star, from St. Übes, bound to the Baltic,
off Dunnose, on the 12th inst., ten days out.
The Alarm, 26, Captain Lock, was at Sacrificios on
the 29th, with the yellow fever on board. Mr. Lowe,
her Second Lieutenant, was one of the earliest victims.
She was about to put to sea at the date of our letter to
recruit the health of her ship's company, but she cannot
remain long absent, Captain Lock being senior officer.
The Fairy royal yacht having been re-embellished,
was undocked yesterday, re-masted, and removed from
the basin to her moorings.
The Polyphemus steam-sloop, Commander M'Cle-
verty, is ready to leave at half an hour's notice with dis-
patches for Lisbon. Captain M'Cleverty took those he
brought on Thursday to the Admiralty himself, per spe-
cial engine, on the South-Western Railway. The Poly-
phemus made a splendid passage from Lisbon to this
harbour, having performed the journey in three days
and fifteen hours ' • one day was very foul, which makes
the time occupied in performing the journey longer than
it otherwise would have been. This is the quickest run
made between Lisbon and this port since the commence-
ment of the Portuguese revolution. Captain WCleverty
is expected down this evening with the dispatches.
The Daring, 12, Commander Peel, was at Vera Cruz
on the 2d of May. The Persian, 16, Commander Cory-
ton, left Jamaica on the 27th of April to relieve her,
when she would proceed to Halifax.
His Swedish and Norwegian Majesty's ship Fredicks-
yarn, Captain Count de Trampe, is expected at this port.
She has been in the Downs some days.
The experimental squadron seem slow in getting to
Spithead, the St. Vincent and Howe being_ the only
members at present at that rendezvous. The Vengeance,
Avenger, and Odin, are getting ready with all dispatch
in the harbour and basin.
