STATE OF TRADE.

MANCIIESTER.—A fair inquiry continues to be ex-
perienced for some descriptions of goods, but not so
much actual business is doing as at the close of last
week. In some instances lower prices have been
taken for both yarn and goods. The Greek houses
are operating rather freely in low printing goods, and
are giving out their orders, but at very low rates.
No failures of any consequence have taken place here
during the present week, nor are any unpleasant
rumours afloat; so that, although no very decided
improvement lin trade can yet be said to have been
experienced, a more cheerful feeling exists, and hopes
begin to be entertained that a more extended business
will ere long be done, and at more satisfactory prices
than those which at present prevail.—Manchester
Examiner.

LEEDS.—The woollen trade of this town and dis-
trict continues in a very dull state, but it is not worse
this week than it has been for some time past. Indeed,
on Saturday the public cloth market wore an im-
proved aspect, and more goods were sold than for
many market days previous • but on Tuesday little
was done, owing, in some degree, to a mischievous
rumour in the London papers that a large house in
Leeds was likely to go down. The report turned out
to be as bueless as it was startling and injurious.—
Leeds Intelligencer.

BRADFORD.—Pieces.—We cannot yet report any
decided improvement in our market. It was antici-
pated that the last America❑ steamer would have
brought more orders for this market than as yet ap-
pears to be the case. Yarns are heavy of sale, and
the very small quantity now produced is found quite
adequate to the demand, and even difficult to quit.
Prices have not altered since our last.--Bradford Ob-
server.

NOTTING a Am.—Lace.—N ovel ties displaying good
taste, whether in black silk or cotton goods, command
a ready sale; ordinary articles are unusually heavy.
Hosiery—There are considerable orders in the town
for the United States, for all descriptions of cotton,
Lisle thread, and spun silk gloves. The orders for
silk gloves more limited. The cotton hose trade con-
tinues very depressed, particularly the full-fashioned
hose; if anything, it is rather worse than better. The
cut-up branch is in rather a better state. The drawer
and shirt trade was never more depressed than at pre.
sent.—Nottingham Mercury.
LEICESTER.—Business still keeps falling off. There
is a less demand, and it is feared no change for the
better will take place on this side Christmas. Manu-
facturers are acting with great caution, and the num-
ber of workmen out of employ is on the increase.—
Leicester Mercury.

TUE SANITARY COMMISSION.—The metropolitan
sanitary commissioners presented their first report on
Saturday. They are known to have specially investi-
gated (and in two instances to have inspected per-
sonally) the state of those of the districts chiefly
inhabited by the poorer classes, which were the most
severely visited by the Asiatic cholera, and to have
examined witnesses from them. It is understood that
the commissioners' first report is upon the topic of the
practical measures in relation to that pestilence. The
Westminster commissioners have asked an audience
for a deputation to submit their solicitations to the Lord
Chancellor for a renewal of their powers. On the other
hand, some eminent members of the existing commis-
sion are known to be adverse to their renewal ; and
in other districts local petitions, praying that the com-
missioners may be superseded, on account of the unsatis-
factory character of their works, are in the course of
signature.

—THE CHAIRMEN OF COMMITTEES IN THE NEW
PARLIAMENT.—Mr. Bernal, who filled the office under
the former administration of the Whigs, is returned to
the new Parliament, and will he proposed to the position
which he held before with so much satisfaction to all
parties ; and it is even probable that no opposition will
be offered to his election from any quarter of the House.
The private business has increased to such an extent as
to render it almost an impossibility for any one person
to attend to it and to the public Committees of the
House. Mr. Bernal, as we have said, will preside over
the House when in Committee; but it is not improbable
that the House of Commons may see the absolute neces-
sity of dividing the superintendence of the public and
the private business ; and should Mr. Greene ba con-
sidered most fitted to preside over the private business,
to which he has devoted so much attention, we believe
the selection of that gentlemen—should it be found to be
the most fitting—would be very generally acquiesced

than Leeds. We have had no considerable failures. Of
course mercantile men have been pinched here as, else-
where; but there has been no serious mischief: W e are
also happy to learn that country bills continue to be re
markably well paid. At present, manufacturing, opera-
tions are slightly reviving, owing to the low price of the
raw material and the more hopeful state of the country.
