LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—Both merchants and
manufacturers seemed this morning to resume their avocation
with renewed energy after the holiday. There was a large atten-
dance of both classes ; and so good a spirit prevailed that orders
for the autumn were given out to a very considerable extent.
The larger manufacturers are enabled to make more profit, and it
is expected that next week business will still further improve.
Most of the mills, both in the town and in the neighbourhood,
are well employed ; and for the winter, beavers, presidents, and
naps are the classes of goods most extensively in preparation.
The sale of spring and summer goods has ceased almost entirely,
and stocks on the whole are found to be satisfactorily low. The
sale of Tweeds, both for men and women's wear, has proceeded
to-day more extensively than for some time past, and it is likely
that the employment of machinery will now be resumed in this
branch. Oil is a little lower in price. Wool does not sell largely,
because there is a diversity of opinion as to what the settled
price willbe. The iron trade is pretty brisk, and at some of the
works they are working overtime.

Martin Curley, an Irishman, has been committed
to the Knutsford sessions for wounding Mr. John Woods,
a member of the firm of Algar and Woods, tailors,
Warrington, at Appleton, on Sunday last. It is under-
stood that the prisoner mistook Mr. Woods for a farmer
named Poole, towards whom he entertains an ill-feeling.
The St. Gothard railway will connect Germany
with Italy, by means of Switzerland. Prussia attaches
great importance to the work, and has given a subsidy of
20,000,000 f. to it. The French regard the proceedings
with a jealous eye, but the Government can do nothing
directly to stop the undertaking.
It is rumoured in Fermanagh that arrangements
are being made to obtain the Lake Erne Hotel, on the
shores of Lake Erne, Fermanagh, as a summer residence
for the Prince of Wales. The hotel is the property of Mr.
D'Arcy Irvine, the gentleman who has made himself so
conspicuous by his irratic conduct, and who is now under
arrest pending the appointment of a commission to inquire
into the state of his mind.

On Thursday morning a bathing accident occurred
in the river Dea, which resulted in the death of Dr. Hare,
of Overton. The deceased young gentleman was, in con-
junction with Mr. Clayton, of Overton, bathing in the
river, near Overton-bridge, five miles from Wrexham,
when he was attacked with cramp, and although a good
swimmer, was unable to save himself. He was drawn
out of the river shortly afterwards, dead. Dr. Hare was
a native of Belfast, and had only resided at Overton for
about twelve months.

By the time the great amphitheatre at Kensington
Gore shall have been completed, its directors will have a
voluminous catalogue of names from which to choose its
ultimate designation. It was originally projected as the
Central Hall of Arts, but has come to be officially known
as the Royal Albert Hall. Cole's Circus, Cole's Folly,
and the Cole Hole are among the more popular terms
applied to it. The City Press christens it the Hall
of Omniscience ; a daily newspaper dubs it the
Kensington Circus, and a member of the Metropolitan
Board varies the title to the Kensington Panopticon ;
with the Times it is the New Colosseum ; the Examiner
nicknames it the Round House ' • the terms, Jelly Shape,
and Great Dis(h)-cover(y) in Architecture, are also ap-
plied to it ; and the Daily News, with an intuitive guess
at its destiny, describes it as the West-end Alhambra.
The Hall, it is believed, will be opened by the Queen on
the Ist of May next year.
AN OPERATIC DlSCORD.—Referring to the letter
recently published from Herr Wachtel, announcing
his retirement from the Italian Opera Company at Covent-
Garden, in consequence of a misunderstanding between
Madame Patti and himself, the musical editor of Le Gat/-
Ws gives the fellowing account of the difference between
these distinguished singers :—" In one scene of ' Don
Giovanni,' as is well known, the tenor sings an air of
some length, during which time Zerlina and Zannetta are
left on the stage taking no part in the music. By a con-
ventional arrangement, the artistes representing these
characters usually retire, and only return when the tenor
has finished his air. At the last representatit n of ' Don
Giovanni' at Covent Garden, Herr 'Wachtel, who had
requested Signor Tagliafico to arrange with Madame
Patti to observe the usual course, found, when about to
commence his famous piece, that, although Signor Tag-
liafico had retired from the stage, Madame Patti was still
there. Believing that she had misunderstood the arrange-
ment, he said, in a low voice, " Leave the stage," which
Madame Patti at once did in great indignation, and im-
mediately protested to Mr. Gye that she would never
again sing with a tenor who could speak to her with such
insolence. An explanation followed, which was simply
that Signor Tagliafico had omitted to inform Madame
Patti of the desire of Herr Wachtel, and the lady at once
admitted that the latter could not have intended to
affront her ; but Herr Wachtel, in his turn, was indig-
nant, refused to sing again, and demanded that his
engagement at £6OO per month should be cancelled,
which was done."
