STATE OF TRADE.

FOREIGN WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 2.—A full
average business has been done in foreign wools this
week, at full recent rates. The improving prospects of
the harvest have contributed materially to an increased
confidence, both amongst dealers and manufacturers.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.—LEEDS, JULY 2. —We
cannot quote any change in this market this week. The
manufacturers continue to buy cautiously, and last
week's prices are with difficulty maintained.
YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY 1.--WO have had a good
show of wool at this day's market, anti the buyers being
rather numerous, nearly all was sold up at a slight im•
provement of last week's prices.
HULL WOOL MARKET, JUNE 29.—A fair supply of
wool and a good attendance of buyers; nearly all sold
up at last week's prices, varying from 9d. to l Id. per lb.,
according to quality and number of hogs.
LEEDS.—Although there was not any larger purchases
of goods at the cloth halls, either on Saturday or Tues-
day, yet, in consequence of the fall in the price of corn,
and the continued fine weather, there is a return of con-
fidence in the market, and the general opinion is, that
with a good havest there muss be a good autumn trade.
Prices continue firm, and the stocks are moderate. This
being betwixt the seasons, there has been but little doing
in business in warehouses for the home trade. The
shippers are, however, doing more; on the whole the
prospects of trade are decidedly impeoved,
BRADFORD MARKET, TfluasnAv.—!There still con-

tinues a very sluggish demand for wool. The staplers
ore unable to take lowser prices, on ac&lPut of not being
ble to replace their stocks on mitt terms. The-'pur-
chases of the spinners are very restricted. There is`no
alteration in the yarn market. The business is steady,
and prices firm. A large number of merchants were
present in the piece market, and a good business was
done. The German houses are purchasing pretty
freely fur the autumn trade. The stock of goods in the
manufacturers' warehouses are small. The appearance
of the piece market improves.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had
more doing in goods this week, and at improving rates
fir most descriptions, but as the advance scarcely covers
the rise in the staple, though cloth changes hands
rather freely, it leaves no increase of profits. Stocks
are, however, rapidly decreasing, and if there
should not happen to be a resumption of full time in the
mills, a fair profit on what may be produced is probable.
The American packet has brought extensive orders, and
those kinds of goods which absorb a great deal of labour
in their production form good features in such orders.
Yarns meet ready sale, but not quotably higher; the
Greek houses are buying extensively of prints.
NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton hosiery trade, especially
in the cut-up departments, is in the same state as pre-
viously reported, and many hands have been out of em-
ployment more than two months. The drawer branch
and the cotton glove branch are in a much better state
than the silk. The fancy bobbin-net trade is still very
dull, as respects demand. The stoppage of a London
house in the lace trade, whose liabilities are said to
amount to 70,0001., has not improved matters.

FUNERAL OF SIR ROBERT STOPFORD. The
mortal remains of this much-lamented Admiral were
interred on Friday afternoon in the vaults of the Royal
Greenwich Hospital Cemetery with the various forms
due to his rank. Shortly before two o'clock the Earl of
Auckland and the other Lords of the Admiralty arrived
at the Governor's residence, for the purpose of taking
part In the preceedings. The admiral's flag was imme-
diately hoisted in the middle of the square; every other
arrangement for conducting the funeral had been
previously made. The passage from the Governor's
residence to the chapel, and from thence to the south
gate, was lined by a detachment of the pensioners,
several of whom had halberds covered with crape.
Companies of the Royal Marines and Marine Artillery
were stationed on either side of the road from the
Hospital gate to that of the cemetery. The band of the
latter was also in attendance. The procession was formed
shortly after two o'clock, at which time a considerable
number of naval and military officers, attired in full
uniform, had assembled. The procession moving slowly
towards the chapel, the band played the " Dead March
in Saul," and the guns stationed on One Tree-hill, ad-
joining the cemetery, fired minutely. Having arrived at
the entrance the body was received by the Rev. J. K.
Goldney, and immediately placed in the centre of the,
edifice, the chief mourners and other persons taking up
their seats on either side. The pall-bearers were A-
dmiral Sir E. Codrington, Admiral Lord Colville, Rear-
Admiral Sir C. Malcolm, Rear-Admiral Bowles, Vice-
Admiral_Sir Charles Adam, Sir J. B. Capel'; and the
mourners included Admiral Sir T. Byam Martin, Lieu-
tenant-General Sir Howard Douglas, the Earl of Cour-
town, Viscount Stop( .rd, the Hon. Captain Cust, the Rev.
A. Stopford. Major-General Fanshawe, Viscount Sydney,
Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and Sir George Womb-
well were amongst the other distinguished persons pre-
sent. The prayers having concluded, the procession was
once more formed, and moved to the admiral's vault,
where the concluding portion of the service having been
read, the coffin was slowly lowered into its depository.
The centre plate bore the inscription —"Admiral the

densely-populated parish of Hackney, one of the largest
and most respectable of the suburban districts of Lon-
don, has been so lung overlooked by the Scottish Pres•
byterians, where an ample field is open for one or more
of their talented clergymen. There are at this time in
the parish, besides the Established Church and chap-ls,
chapels numerously attended by almost every denoroi,
nation of religious Dissenters.
