STATE OF TRADE.

ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, FEB. 6.—The demand
for wool is without alteration, and prices are stationary.
FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 6.—Transactions in
foreign Wools have been somewhat less extensive this week
than during the preceding one, but recent rates are firmly
maintained.

WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 6.—There is no quot-
able difference in the value of either short or long wool this
week, but the market is less buoyant than three weeks ago.
The Riding election hse, however, brought uS more cus•
-
tomers, and rather more has been done than for one or two
previous weeks.

LEIDDS.—Both on Saturday and on Tuesday there were
rather more goods sold than during the last few weeks. The
prices are steady, and the stocks less than usual at this

MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVEIHNG.—We have had very
little doing in our cotton market. The discount market
operates extensively, and only small quantities for present
wants find purchasers. Prices are nominally as on this day
week. There is no expectation of any amendment till the
money panic has subsided, Yarns are not such ready sale
as on this day week, but prices are quite firm for all numbers

But in our opinion it was never more strikingly
than by the appointment of Mr. Brewster as the Soli- 1
citor-General—a man the most unpopular at the bar-1
a second-rate lawyer—one of inferior mind, imbued with 1
the bitterest prejudices, and only remarkable for his 1
coarse taste, and the unenviable distinction he has ac-
quired as a public prosecutor. It is scarcely possible to be-
lieve that Sir Robert Peel, who must see that his only chance
of governing Ireland is by conciliation and justice, could
willingly have selected such a man for so responsible a posi-
tion. The fact is, he is forced to carry on the affairs of Ire-
land through a now worn out and fallen party. His power
of selection is very limited, and so long as ho remains Pre-
mier, however wise may be his Relic), in England, however
anxious he may be to conciliate Ireland, it will be his fate,
through his appointments to produce discontent and dissatis-
faction.— Cork Southern Reporter.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET. FEB. 6.—The sales of the
week are limited to about 350 hbds. West India, at very
full prices: in Mauritius and BengaLs the transactions are
unimportant. Rum is very quiet, and prices quite nominal.—
